Chapter 591 Self-Destruction of Appearance (Leader Oolong Tieguanyin Plus 1)
Although he didn't understand what Zheng Ren meant, the physician still followed his doctor's orders and went back to the consultation room to make an order.
"Hello, I'm the chief resident of the emergency department." Zheng Ren came to the woman holding the child and said softly.
The woman tried her best to hold the child and let him to toss it lightly.
Because of too much force, traces of sweat can be seen on the forehead and temples.
The woman raised her head, her eye circles were red, and there were no tears, but it could make people feel the sadness immersed in the depths of their hearts.
"When did the child start doing this?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Don't you think I abused the child?" The woman's voice was a little hoarse, "All the doctors think so! If you can't see the disease, just say..."
"Please keep your emotions calm." Zheng Ren shook his head and said, "I don't think these wounds are caused by your abuse of children. This is a disease, a rare disease, so I need some tests and what you described The medical history is the only way to be sure."
When she heard what Zheng Ren said, her angry and sad mood calmed down a little.
Looking carefully at Zheng Ren, he saw that he was wearing white clothes, with a straight body, sharp-edged face, short black hair, and piercing eyes revealing something... kindness?
The doctor, who is clearly under thirty years old, has the temperament of an experienced old director.
With just one glance, you can feel a battle-tested feeling in him.
The child's mother was a little moved by Zheng Ren's trust, especially the temperament revealed by Zheng Ren, which gave her an inexplicable confidence.
Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, this doctor should be able to understand the disease.
"Doctor, the child has been willing to gnaw his fingers since he was born. He didn't pay attention when he was young, and thought he was the same as other children." The child's mother narrated: "But the older he got, the worse his finger-biting problem became."
Zheng Ren nodded, it was almost the same as what he judged.
"He was a slow learner, and he didn't leave until he was two years old, but I really didn't dislike him, he was my child after all." The woman said painfully: "After he was able to walk, he started to pierce himself with things, especially Face."
"We had no choice but to tie his hands. But he still bites his lip, especially when eating."
"We came to Haicheng to see it, and went to the provincial capital to see it. They all said that the child is fine. The doctors all thought that it was me and the child's father who abused the child."
The medical history is very simple. At this point, the doctor in the emergency department came out with the emergency list.
"Here is a blood test report. Go and pay for the test." Zheng Ren said, "After the test, I may be able to give you an accurate diagnosis."
Although Zheng Ren's words were still somewhat vague, this was a doctor's professional habit, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing the patient's mother carrying him away, and his father walking ahead to pay for the test, the emergency physician disdainful.
"Mr. Zheng, it's just child abuse. I've never seen people who are so unreasonable to them. They are not human at all, they are simply scum, and they should be destroyed."
"No." Zheng Ren sighed again, "Didn't you notice that the most seriously injured part of the child is the lips?"
The emergency physician recalled that the child's lips were indeed the most severely injured. The combination of old and new injuries made the lips even deformed.
But so what? !
Still unconvinced, she looked at the ground angrily.
"If I'm not wrong in my judgment, the child should have Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome." Zheng Ren's face was a little ugly.
"What?"
"Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, also known as Self-Association Disorder, is an X-linked recessive genetic congenital deficiency of purine metabolism, which is caused by the deficiency of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT)." Ren Zheng The emergency physician explained.
Hearing such words as purine...xanthine...guanine...ribonucleic acid and other words, the emergency physician felt as if he was back in a university campus and was taking a biochemistry class.
The person standing in front of him was not the young Mr. Zheng, but an old scholar with gray hair.
"The lack of this enzyme will prevent hypoxanthine and guanine from being converted into IMP and GMP, and then pathologically degrade into uric acid. Therefore, the child's blood uric acid should be high in laboratory tests. After a while, the test results will come back, and a preliminary diagnosis can be made. gone."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Zheng Ren nodded, "If you want to do a B-ultrasound of both kidneys and ureters, you may find kidney stones. But the patient's family is not rich, so save as much as you can."
"Uh..." the emergency physician concluded.
"The child has mental retardation and has characteristic and compulsive self-destructive behaviors. The diagnosis of this disease should be fine."
What Zheng Ren said was so true.
The emergency physician almost believed it.
"The diagnosis is clear, so why are you sighing?" the emergency physician asked.
"Diagnosis is not the same as treatment." Zheng Ren said, "There is no cure for this disease with the existing medical methods."
"..."
"And, most importantly, affected children rarely live beyond the age of 20."
Zheng Ren didn't want to say that, but the truth is the truth, and it won't be shifted because of his subjective wishes.
This kind of thing is something that all doctors are unwilling to face.
Whether you can understand the disease is one thing.
Whether it can be cured is another matter.
But no matter how you think about it, the vast majority of doctors hope that patients will walk out of the hospital in good health.
A helpless disease, similar to cancer, is also common to doctors.
Only this time, something is different.
The emergency physician was still skeptical, but he was inclined to believe Zheng Ren's words.
Can't treat...
This result is too cruel.
but,
Nobody can do anything about it.
We can only look forward to the advancement of medical technology.
Life is a reverse journey.
It's always good if it's longer. The child is still so young, it shouldn't be!
The emergency physician sighed, lowered his head, the aggrieved expression disappeared, and walked into the internal medicine consulting room with an indifferent expression.
Zheng Ren knew that this was the doctor's self-protection.
If there are too many emotions, people will go crazy after working in the hospital for a year or two.
Here, there are too many joys and sorrows, too much helplessness, too much helplessness.
He went out along the side door, took out Ziyun from the pocket of his white suit, took out the half cigarette left from last time, and lit it.
The acrid smoke of tobacco surrounds and is blown away by the north wind.
It would be great if the diagnosis of Big Pig's Trotter was wrong.
It would be great if my own judgment was also wrong.
It's a pity that Zheng Ren was able to find similar case reports in his mind in an instant, there were at least a dozen cases.
Pity.
A few minutes later, Zheng Ren finished smoking and walked in.
Instead of going into the internal medicine clinic, he sat outside in a hard red plastic chair and waited for the results.
It was cold, and so were the hard plastic chairs.
...
...
It's a pity that the chapter is broken here... It's a matter of pen strength, it would be great if I could change the breakpoint. Try harder next time.
Also, I got up at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, why did there be a book friend in safety pants who left a message at 3 o'clock in the morning to remind me to update, and the book friend Ye Zi in late autumn said later that he was almost finished reading it again. In an instant, as if receiving an emergency, the whole person woke up with fright. Did I update it? Is there any more? No, why did the leaves of late autumn say that they had finished reading it again?
Mmm... cry.
Then noticed that it was almost over again. I have been under a lot of pressure recently, and the big climax is coming (it will be in the second half of the year). As a doctor, I am afraid that the book friends will not approve of the big climax, so I am writing with all my heart every day. Uneasy, nervous. Especially looking at the various lists, there are familiar book titles up and down. It can be said that I grew old watching their books, so I became even more dazed.
Will go the extra mile.
