Chapter 159 Acute Optic Neuroitis
There are many diseases that make patients feel ashamed.
They may even hide it from everyone around them.
"Ah...Mom, hasn't your foot always been fine? What's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man was shocked.
"I have had athlete's foot for several years. Although I bought , the disease kept coming back and never got rid of. I thought it was not a serious disease, so I didn't tell you."
The woman spoke somewhat embarrassedly about the disease she had contracted.
Beriberi is a relatively common disease.
Because it does not kill anyone and does not cause serious discomfort, it is easily ignored by patients.
Generally speaking, people infected with beriberi are due to a lack of vitamin B1.
"Feet, athlete's foot... I know, I know , the patient's disease is most likely acute optic neuritis!" Doctor Wang was so excited that he danced with joy like a child who had picked up a candy.
Doctor Fuchalin, who was standing by and gloating, thought he had finally found a foil whose medical skills were even worse than his own.
I didn't expect the plot to take such a turn.
Treating the foot for a headache is not a joke; it has become a real case.
Fu Chalin is an ophthalmologist and is definitely familiar with the disease of acute optic neuritis.
There are many causes of acute optic neuritis, beriberi is one of them.
If beriberi is not treated promptly, ascending symmetrical peripheral neuritis, sensory and motor disorders, decreased muscle strength, and muscle soreness will occur.
The pain in the gastrocnemius muscle is particularly obvious.
Some beriberi patients also develop foot drop and toe drop, and have a straddle-threshold gait when walking.
If the above symptoms are not serious enough, there will be more serious ones coming next.
Beriberi can cause serious damage to the vagus nerve in the cranial nerves, and it can also damage the optic nerve, oculomotor nerve, etc.
This is why the woman suffered from athlete's foot but became blind.
Now that the cause of the disease had been diagnosed by Li Quan, Fuchalin's face turned very ugly.
I was careless.
Why didn’t I think of giving the patient another MRI scan just now?
If the patient is given an additional MRI examination, inflammation of the optic nerve will surely be detected.
Now that Li Quan has found out the cause of his illness using traditional Chinese medicine, he was really slapped in the face.
Fu Chalin is the typical person who won't cry until he sees the coffin.
He did not give up, and still said firmly, "Humph, before the test results come out, no one can be sure that she has acute optic neuritis."
Li Quan's eyes were as bright as stars as he stared at Fu Chalin, and he said sarcastically, "Doctor Fu Chalin, why are you in such a hurry? Is it acute optic neuritis? Let the patient do an MRI or an evoked potential test, wouldn't it be clear?"
"I'll write a request form for an MRI. You should take your mother to get checked immediately to find out the cause. Acute optic neuritis caused by beriberi is relatively rare, but such cases do exist."
Doctor Wang has quickly written out the application form.
Yang Jia was helping to input the information into the computer.
"If the test results show that my mother really has the disease you mentioned, I will solemnly apologize to you."
Attitudes among middle-aged men are changing.
He is also full of expectations for the results of this MRI.
This man is a filial son. As long as the cause of the illness can be identified, his mother's illness can be cured.
Although he still had doubts about Li Quan's claim that the cause of the disease was beriberi, he was willing to give it a try.
…
Nearly twenty minutes later, the middle-aged man returned with his mother after the examination.
During this period, Fuchalin was really restless, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
When he came to the emergency room just now, he was as arrogant as if he was a big shot.
The majestic and arrogant.
He feels that all the doctors in the emergency department are garbage in front of him.
At this moment, the situation has reversed and he already has a premonition that he will be beaten.
"Doctor, the MRI results are out, please take a look." The middle-aged man handed the test results directly to Li Quan.
There were three doctors standing in front of him.
The examination order was prescribed by Dr. Wang, so he should show the results to Dr. Wang.
The middle-aged man doesn't seem to be confused, but rather very shrewd.
Then why did he show the MRI test results to Li Quan?
In addition, he used the honorific "you" when addressing Li Quan.
This means that the doctor in the MRI room has probably already explained the test results to him.
In other words, the middle-aged man already knew that his mother had this disease.
"The optic nerve is inflamed, the situation is quite serious! Doctor Wang, please take a look." After taking a look, Li Quan handed the test results to Doctor Wang.
This can be considered as giving enough face to Doctor Wang.
"Yes, it is indeed this disease. It can be diagnosed now. Now that the cause is found, it will be easy to treat."
Doctor Wang smiled after reading the test results.
Fu Chalin, who was invited by him to come for emergency treatment, had a changing face. The last bit of luck was shattered by reality. He knew that embarrassment today was inevitable.
"Doctor Fucharin, the cause of the disease has been confirmed. It is acute optic neuritis caused by beriberi. I have fulfilled my promise and found out the cause of the patient's disease. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise and swallow the shit you have pulled out."
Li Quan said to Doctor Fu Chalin with a sneer.
Fu Chalin was surrounded by countless people. An ophthalmologist was defeated by a doctor in the emergency department. And in the field of ophthalmology.
This person has lost a lot of money.
"Everyone makes mistakes, and I admit defeat this time. Your name is Li Quan, right? We will have another chance to compete."
After saying these polite words, Fuchalin wanted to run away.
“Wait!”
There was no way Li Quan would let him get away so easily.
Reach out to stop it.
"If you want to eat shit, you have to look like you're eating shit. If you don't know how, I can find a video of a dog eating shit online so you can learn it on the spot."
It would be too easy for him to just admit defeat and leave.
Li Quan would not agree, and neither would the doctors in the emergency department.
Fuchalin's face turned red in an instant, and he was so angry that his eyes seemed to spit fire.
"You, don't go too far. We are all doctors in the same hospital. We will see each other sooner or later. Don't be too harsh." Fu Chalin also wanted to save his face.
I had a terrible setback in the emergency department today. I'm afraid I'll soon become a laughing stock in the entire hospital.
When that time comes, how can he hold his head up in front of his colleagues?
"You don't really have to eat shit . But after running into our emergency department and causing trouble, you should at least apologize, right? If you can't show sincerity in your apology, I don't mind finding you something to taste."
Li Quan sneered.
Fucharin's face changed again and again.
If I don’t admit my mistake today, I won’t be able to leave the emergency department easily.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his rage, he gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Doctor Wang and Li Quan.
"Doctors in the emergency department, I am Fu Chalin from the ophthalmology department. I solemnly apologize to you now. I shouldn't have belittled the doctors in the emergency department just now. Please forgive me."
This time the apology is much more sincere.
"Listen, next time don't be so arrogant. Our emergency department doctors may not be as good as specialists in a certain field. But they are definitely not mediocre as you say."
Li Quan taught this guy a lesson and waved his hand.
"You can go now."
Fu Chalin fled the emergency department in disgrace as if he had been pardoned. He was afraid that he would never dare to run here and make trouble again.
The loss today was quite big.
"Doctor Li, please take care of my mother's illness! I'm sorry for my words that offended me before!" The middle-aged man took the initiative to apologize to Li Quan. It was also the first time for him to see the magic of Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis.
