Chapter 580: 571 Expert from the Provincial Capital Who Arrived by Instant Transfer (Alliance Leader Bored, Fighting, Extra Chapter 3
Zheng Ren froze.
This disease is not common; you can't blame the General Surgery Second Department.
His thoughts raced as he searched his memory for similar literature reports.
Such patients are also called Reifenstein's syndrome.
The main cause is androgen resistance.
This refers to abnormal androgen receptor-ligand binding or post-receptor signal transduction, causing androgen action to be insufficiently expressed, resulting in a clinical syndrome.
Depending on severity, it is divided into complete androgen resistance and partial androgen resistance.
Such patients can exhibit varying degrees of male pseudohermaphroditism, even a completely feminine appearance.
Seeing Zheng Ren staring at the patient's head, Director Sun felt hopeless; his hand holding the sterile saline gauze trembled badly, and he couldn't lift it.
"Boss." Su Yun walked up behind Zheng Ren and whispered, "I feel like this might be Reifenstein's syndrome."
"Yeah, it's Reifenstein's syndrome." Zheng Ren said, "Push the intraoperative ultrasound machine from the operating room over here."
The circulating nurse paused, not hearing clearly what Zheng Ren said.
"The intraoperative ultrasound machine." Su Yun reminded loudly.
Only then did the circulating nurse rush out to push the machine.
"Chief Zheng... what did you just say... what syndrome is it?" Director Sun heard a glimmer of hope from Zheng Ren and Su Yun's conversation.
"Reifenstein's syndrome." Zheng Ren said: "If the diagnosis is correct, the patient should have no uterus or appendages."
"" Director Sun stared.
"Call the obstetrics and gynecology director Su for an intraoperative consultation." Zheng Ren said.
With Zheng Ren's arrival, the authority to direct the surgery fell directly into his hands. Director Sun had no objection; at this point, having a backbone is better than being a loose sand.
"Right, call Director Zhou of the Medical Department and say the General Surgery Second Department has run into big trouble. Have him come personally; the junior staff can't handle it."
A few orders were issued, simple and decisive.
The circulating nurse, the anesthetist, and Su Yun each went to attend to their tasks.
Soon, the ultrasound machine was pushed over.
Zheng Ren scrubbed, put on his gown, went up, and performed an abdominal ultrasound on the patient.
Just as expected, the patient had no uterus and no appendages...
Next, we need to figure out how to get the patient's family to accept this.
"Chief Zheng, the patient..." The chief of the General Surgery Second Department swallowed, but his mouth was dry, saying nothing, "The patient's boyfriend is still outside."
"Sigh." Zheng Ren shook his head, turned, took off his gown, and went down.
For this kind of trouble, we might as well skip the surgery.
If the family accepts it, that's fine to say. If the family doesn't accept it, this could cause the Medical Department... even the entire Haicheng Shi Yiyuan to be overwhelmed.
Soon, the obstetrics and gynecology director Su and Director Zhou arrived one after another.
Director Su performed a gynecological exam on the patient and found the uterine wall relatively short, ending in a blind pouch.
Director Zhou's brows were tightly knit, as if a huge dark cloud loomed over his head, pouring rain.
Reifenstein's syndrome, this extremely rare disease, Director Zhou had just searched the database and found relevant explanations.
Sharpening the spear before battle, even if not fast, still brings light. To handle such a matter, one must at least understand something.
That's all we can do.
No one can master all rare diseases, even experts from the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital are like that.
"Director Zhou, about this..." Zheng Ren leaned close to Director Zhou and asked quietly.
"Chief Zheng, what do you think?" Director Zhou's lips were dry; one could tell he was fired up.
The anger rushes to the heart; I'm afraid his blood pressure has risen to his head.
Zheng Ren didn't stand on ceremony, directly saying: "I suggest we invite a relevant professor from the Medical University for a consultation, push the patient's laparotomy down. As for the later gender selection issue, it depends on the patient's own wishes and the family's choice."
Director Zhou felt Zheng Ren made sense; now we can only find a higher-level expert to give the patient a better treatment plan.
He took out his phone and dialed.
"Director Lin, hello." Director Zhou's expression softened a bit, forcing a smile: "I'm the little Zhou from Haicheng Shi Yiyuan; do you still remember me?"
"Um... Chief Zheng... is by my side."
"I have a bit of an urgent matter; I'd like you to help."
Director Zhou was surprised that the director of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, Lin, would just ask outright whether Haicheng Shi Yiyuan is the hospital where Zheng Ren works.
He felt strange; as a full-fledged bureau-level cadre, Director Lin doesn't even remember him, yet he remembers Zheng Ren.
But there's no time to worry about these "small matters"; Director Zhou immediately related the relevant information and request to Director Lin.
Anyway, for such things, do your best and leave the rest to fate.
The director of the Medical Department at the Sheng Cheng Medical University Affiliated Hospital—whether he gives me face or not, I have to give it a try.
In short, now it's a case of treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
But that side's attitude exceeded Director Zhou's expectations.
After listening, Director Lin laughed heartily and said, "Give the phone to Chief Zheng."
"" Director Zhou stared, wondering what this had to do with Chief Zheng.
But he didn't refuse; asking others for help is really hard.
"Chief Zheng, I didn't expect to contact you again so quickly." Director Lin said with a cheerful smile, completely free of embarrassment or anger.
"Director Lin, hello." Zheng Ren gave a proper greeting.
"Expert professors, I'll call them now to rush to Haicheng; they should arrive in about two or three hours." Director Lin said confidently.
"Huh?" Zheng Ren was puzzled.
"You'll know when we meet; later when I go to Di Du, if I have something I'll still need to find you, so don't bother me." Director Lin didn't mention the favor, but instead brought up the future, saying, "I'll hang up first, we'll get in touch about this."
"Okay."
Afterwards, a beeping sound came from that end.
Director Zhou heard the two's conversation, feeling utterly surprised.
"Chief Zheng, you... how are you so familiar with Director Lin? Relatives?"
"No." Zheng Ren laughed: "A few days ago I went to the Medical University Affiliated Hospital in Sheng Cheng to see Lao Gao's surgery, met him and got acquainted."
Zheng Ren said it simply; he didn't want to waste more words with Director Zhou.
Director Zhou had just wanted to ask a few questions when the phone rang again. Seeing it was Director Lin calling back, his heart tightened—Zheng Ren certainly had enough clout; that end not only got in touch right away, but also acted a bit earnestly.
"Director Zhou, I'm Lao Lin." Director Lin's voice was hearty: "The expert has already arrived in Hai Cheng and is waiting for Chief Zheng in the Jizhenbingfang."
"..." Director Zhou was confused by that.
The expert already came? Teleported? Stop spouting nonsense.
This is too fantastical.
"I told them to go to the Big External Operating Room, I'll call you, and you'll see each other soon." Director Lin said, "Xiao Zhou, I asked around—we recently had a similar case here, a sex‑selection surgery. If you have any questions, just ask her; I'm hanging up."
