Chapter 285 The girl who is indifferent to life and death, there are many kinds of goddesses
The most important thing for journalists is to be well-informed. Therefore, they will try their best to get to know more people and maintain a good network of contacts to ensure that they can be used when needed.
"make a deal!"
The female reporter readily agreed to Lao Qin's request.
As long as we can dig out a big piece of news, it would be worth it, not to mention one meal, even ten meals would be worth it.
She thought she had a decent ability to judge people. This young doctor named Zhou Can looked ordinary, but he was more calm and pragmatic than the high-profile overseas returnee.
Based on her many years of experience as a journalist, she intuitively felt that Zhou Can's position in Tuya Hospital should be quite high.
"Lao Qin, please help me find out about Zhou Can's background first , and I'll go over to take a look. There's no need for an interview now anyway." She quietly came to Zhou Can's examination table, carrying a very feminine pink backpack.
At this moment, after Zhou Can took the patient's information, he was carefully checking the patient's test results.
Pathological findings of a tumor in the throat, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The data of immunohistochemistry and gene rearrangement were not ideal.
Ear CT showed that the right jugular foramen was elevated and enlarged. There was a small amount of soft tissue density in the left tympanic cavity. Chest CT showed a high-density shadow in the right lung.
The results of lumbar puncture were equally bad, with protein 2.1g/L, sugar 0.9mmol/L, CL 127mmol/L, and a large number of immature cells found in the cerebrospinal fluid.
Seeing this, Zhou Can showed a sad expression on his face.
"Doctor Zhou, is my daughter's illness serious? Can it be cured?"
The girl's mother had a premonition of a bad outcome, but she still held on to a last glimmer of hope.
The patient himself was also looking at Zhou Can nervously, waiting for the final verdict.
I believe the patient is like a prisoner waiting for sentencing at this time.
"I hope you can be mentally prepared. Her condition is not optimistic. According to the examination results, she has metastasized to many parts of her body. The only way to prolong her life is to go to the hematology department for chemotherapy."
Zhou Can must tell them this cruel result.
It would be great if the real cause of the disease could be found out earlier.
Her illness lasted for two years and all her treatment was wasted.
After hearing the diagnosis, the patient's mother staggered and covered her forehead with her right hand.
When Zhou Can saw that something was wrong, he quickly stood up and prepared to support the other person.
Unexpectedly, someone was quicker than him and was supported by someone.
It's the female reporter from that TV station.
"Are you all right?"
The female reporter asked the family members with concern.
"I... it's okay! I was a little dizzy and blacked out just now, but I'm much better now!"
The female family member should be around 40 years old, in the prime of her life. She was unsteady on her feet and her vision went dark because the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered.
Some people may experience fainting when they hear great news or extremely sad news.
In medicine, it is also called vasoinhibitory syncope.
Under strong mental stimulation, the vagus nerve reflex causes temporary peripheral vasodilation, a decrease in venous return, a drop in blood pressure, and a temporary decrease or interruption of cerebral blood flow, resulting in syncope.
Therefore, sometimes some bad things have to be kept secret from the elderly or the infirm.
Because they can easily be in danger after hearing the bad news.
Especially the elderly, many of whom suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease, cannot be subjected to strong mental stimulation.
"Doctor Zhou, is my illness cancer? How long can I live?"
The patient was surprisingly calm.
It seems that after two years of suffering from illness, she has become strong. It is even possible that she has already considered the worst outcome.
"My poor daughter wow... woo woo..."
The patient's mother hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.
This kind of scene made everyone present feel uncomfortable.
"Cancer is just a medical concept. Your lymphoma is malignant and has spread to many parts of your body. In layman's terms, it is in the late stage of cancer. Girl, you have been suffering from this disease for more than two years. It has all been wasted!"
Zhou Can was in a particularly heavy mood.
Every time he sees this type of patient, he becomes particularly unhappy.
You can say that he cannot bear to see the suffering of the world, or that he has a compassionate heart. In short, he hopes that every patient who enters the hospital can leave in peace.
But in reality, eight out of ten things in life are not as we wish.
Zhou Can often sees some helpless and sad scenes. For example, the young girl in front of him is already in stage IV lymphoma at such a young age. With the current medical conditions, she cannot be saved at all.
"Doctor, please, please save my daughter. We are willing to spend any amount of money! I can't live without her. I can't lose my daughter..."
The patient's mother lost control of her emotions and had a complete mental breakdown.
For any mother, it would be difficult to accept that the daughter they had raised for 19 years had cancer.
"She can only go to the hematology department for chemotherapy to prolong her life. But as long as she can maintain an optimistic heart, maybe a medical miracle can be created. Or maybe she can wait until new drugs are developed and launched on the market and drugs that can cure lymphoma are successfully developed, then she may be cured."
Zhou Can could only try his best to comfort the family members and patients.
In fact, he knew very well that given the patient's current physical condition, he would probably die soon.
Cancer patients in better conditions have a survival period of five years, but for her, it can only be six months at most.
According to her current condition, it would be very good if she could live for three months.
If you can actively treat it, it is very likely that you can survive for half a year to a year.
"I can't understand why other people's colds can be cured, but my daughter developed cancer from just an unexpected minor cold?" The family members asked Zhou Can for the answer in a despair.
"Your daughter's lymphoma may not have appeared at the beginning. I looked at the results of her blood routine test when she was first admitted to the hospital two years ago, which showed elevated liver enzymes. She should have had chronic hepatitis at that time. Other test results at that time also confirmed that she should have been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus. The development of her lymphoma should be related to the Epstein-Barr virus infection."
Zhou Can sorted out and analyzed the patient's information and the entire course of his illness.
He highly suspected that the patient had no lymphoma during his first hospitalization.
“What is Epstein-Barr virus?”
the patient asked.
She must have been very dissatisfied with her life, and wanted to figure out how her illness had evolved from a minor cold into cancer that could take her life.
"The full name of EB virus is CAEBV virus, which is also the herpes virus. The first time you had a low-grade fever and elevated liver enzymes, you were infected with this virus."
Zhou Can noticed that the female reporter took out a small notebook and was recording something quickly.
But he didn't stop.
"Why couldn't this virus be cured after two years of treatment? Was it because the medical skills of the expert at the time were not good enough, or was it because this virus infection was incurable?"
The family member gradually calmed down at this time. She also urgently wanted to understand why her daughter's cold turned into advanced cancer in just two years?
If her daughter's treatment was delayed due to the expert's misdiagnosis, she would definitely make the expert pay the price.
In such a public occasion, Zhou Can appeared very cautious in answering such a sensitive question.
Deputy Director Shi, who was standing next to him, was worried that he would talk nonsense, so he quietly kicked him.
How could Zhou Can be the kind of person who speaks without restraint and does not know the seriousness of the matter?
Especially with reporters present.
"The most vulnerable groups to EV virus are infants, children and adolescents with previous respiratory diseases. There is currently no effective treatment and no effective vaccine. Clinically, antiviral drugs are often selected for auxiliary treatment according to the condition. When you were first admitted to the hospital, the experts from the other hospital prescribed liver protection and antiviral drugs, which are not inappropriate."
Although Zhou Can cursed the expert from the outside hospital in his heart as a quack who delayed the girl's treatment, he spoke with some pity for the expert.
He believed that the expert from the outside hospital had done his best.
Just treating EV virus infection itself involves certain uncertainties.
Poor treatment results may be related to the patient's lifestyle and immune ability.
Now that things have come to this point, the only way is probably to learn lessons.
After all, in clinical medicine, countless lessons have been learned from human lives.
Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, without a large amount of clinical verification, it is impossible to achieve any achievements, let alone become stronger and stronger.
Western medicine has been able to become the mainstream of the market in just over two hundred years. Not only has the Western world become the most powerful and advanced in the world during these two hundred years, the therapeutic effects of Western medicine itself are also obvious to all.
Overall, medical standards are constantly improving.
In the past, cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest meant death, and there would be no chance of survival.
But in modern times, even if the heart and breathing stop suddenly, an artificial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator can still be used to replace the heart and lung functions. Although ECMO cannot always replace the heart and lung functions, for many critically ill patients, as long as it helps them survive the weakest days of their lives, they may survive.
Every year, many patients are successfully saved after treatment in the intensive care unit.
Therefore, some mistakes are allowed in clinical medicine.
However, as modern medicine develops better and better and clinical experience becomes richer and richer, the probability of errors in diagnosis and treatment is becoming smaller and smaller.
"I'll call the child's father first. He's working in Africa and left his daughter to me to take care of, but now... wuwu..."
The female family member burst into tears again when she spoke the following part.
When she learned that her daughter was in the advanced stage of cancer, she felt like the sky was falling.
"Xiaoya, please sit here for a while. Mom will call your dad to discuss the treatment."
"Mom, don't be too sad. I haven't seen you smile since I got sick. I hope to see you happy. If one day I really leave this world, my biggest hope is that you and dad are safe and happy."
Zhou Can turned his head away because of what the girl said.
This nineteen-year-old girl is so sensible.
She seemed to have seen through life and death. After she learned that she had a terminal illness, she remained particularly calm.
Perhaps after enduring the pain and torture of illness for more than two years, she had already been looking forward to relief.
Zhou Can was feeling extremely sad at this moment. He only hated that his medical skills were limited and he couldn't cure the girl's illness.
With current medical technology, no hospital in the world, let alone him, can cure patients with stage IV lymphoma. The only treatment is chemotherapy.
"It would be great if there was a specific drug for cancer!"
Zhou Can shouted in his heart.
Yesterday, Yang Chan told him that she hoped he could make conquering cancer a goal. At that time, he felt that this goal was too ambitious and difficult to achieve.
I was also intimidated by the prospect, so I refused without even thinking about it.
But at this moment, the seed of finding a way to conquer cancer was quietly sprouting in his heart.
The patient's family went outside the outpatient hall to make a phone call.
The female reporter did not leave, but started chatting with the female patient.
Understand her illness and treatment process.
Zhou Can naturally had no power to interfere. He was bored just sitting there, so he picked up the patient's past medical records and studied them again, carefully combing through the girl's entire illness.
About half an hour later, the female family member came back after making a phone call.
His eyes were very red and swollen, probably because he cried a lot.
There were still traces of tears on her face, and her hair was messy, but she didn't bother to take care of it.
"Doctor Zhou, I just called the child's father, and he asked me to take my daughter to Tuya Second Affiliated Hospital for treatment. It is very famous for treating various tumors. Thank you for helping my daughter find the real cause of the disease, thank you!"
The female family member bowed to Zhou Can.
Her mind was as clear as a mirror. Even though Zhou Can was so young and his status was not as high as those experts.
Zhou Can made the greatest contribution to the diagnosis of her daughter's illness.
"You're welcome! It's a good choice to go to Tuya Hospital Affiliated to No. 2 for treatment. I wish your daughter can overcome the disease and recover soon." Zhou Can said to the female family member and looked at the sick girl. "Any disease is stronger when you are weaker, and weaker when you are stronger. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a firm belief during the treatment and face the disease with a strong heart. I believe you can create a medical miracle and defeat the disease. Come on!"
"Thank you for your encouragement. I will be strong and brave to face the disease, for my loving parents and for everyone in this world who cares about me."
The girl nodded vigorously with a firm look in her eyes.
Her family members quickly took her away.
After the patient left, the beautiful female reporter lifted her wavy hair and sat down at Zhou Can's desk.
When Deputy Director Shi saw this situation, he suddenly became a little nervous.
"Little girl, we are in working hours now and will not accept any interviews."
"I won't affect your work. I'll make way for another patient when they come. The female patient just now had been ill for two years, and the real cause of the disease had never been found, but it was found here. And as far as I know, the diagnostic advice given by Dr. Zhou Can was the most critical in the diagnosis process."
She has a powerful aura and the cheeky spirit of a media personality.
A pair of bright eyes like clear autumn water looked at Zhou Can boldly.
"Doctor Zhou, can I get to know you?"
"Now we are acquainted. If there is nothing else, you may return to your place."
Zhou Can is not the kind of man who can't move his legs or take his eyes off when he sees a beautiful woman.
With Su Qianqian, a super beautiful and outstanding girlfriend, he is extremely immune to all kinds of beauties.
"Don't you think it's cruel to reject a beautiful girl like this?"
The more she was rejected, the more she wanted to complete the interview.
She just chatted with the sick girl and learned that the girl had visited many hospitals, even a famous expert from a large hospital, but none of them could find out the real cause of her illness.
This shows that the cause of the girl's illness is extremely difficult to diagnose.
But this unremarkable young doctor in front of me diagnosed the cause of the disease. How did he do it?
The female reporter couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of the matter.
Moreover, based on her professional experience, she is certain that as long as she can fully interview the entire process, understand the medical principles involved, and write a report, it will definitely become a high-quality news item.
"Madam, do you think that you have a beautiful face and should be the goddess in the hearts of all men?" Zhou Can asked instead of answering.
She thought she had special privileges in front of him just because she was pretty, but she really chose the wrong person.
"Isn't beauty what you men like?" She playfully argued with Zhou Can.
"Then do you know what kinds of goddesses there are?"
Zhou Can stared at her playfully.
This little bitch is really outrageous, she dares to play with fire with him.
Back then , he was also a playboy. He wanted to possess every beautiful woman he saw. But he never took action and it remained at the idea stage.
"I know! There are goddesses with temperament, goddesses with academic excellence, goddesses with intelligence, goddesses with elegance... there are too many! Hehe, I'm going to brag shamelessly for once, I'm a pretty goddess."
She answered while bending her white fingers that looked like tender green onions.
"In fact, in addition to what you said, there is another one."
Zhou Can raised the corner of his mouth slightly as he stared at her fair and delicate face.
"Which one?"
She was equally unwilling to be outdone and stared at Zhou Can.
"Woman is crazy!"
As soon as Zhou Can finished speaking, Deputy Director Shi next to him couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
The female reporter had a dark face.
"Hey, how can you be so mean! I just want to interview you, what's wrong with you? Besides, citizens have the obligation to cooperate with us reporters to complete the interview!"
She was scolded by Zhou Can, and a trace of shame and anger appeared on her face, and she retorted with a coquettish tone.
However, he did not turn against Zhou Can and curse at him.
I have to say that this woman is very experienced in interviews. Zhou Can insulted her so much, but still failed to persuade her to give up.
Instead, she took advantage of her beauty and half-coquettishly resolved Zhou Can's verbal insults.
