Chapter 343 -166: Great Achievements Made, Doctor Hu Regrets Deeply_3
He had not expected to really detect parasites inside the patient’s body.
“This type of parasite is indeed quite peculiar. For instance, they always dwell in the small intestine. They dare not enter the stomach pylorus; it’s understandable that gastric acid would have a strong killing effect on them, causing their death. Yet why they die upon entering the large intestine still remains a mystery. Moreover, almost no larvae bodies are found in the feces, only adult bodies and a few eggs.”
Director Liu continued to introduce the characteristics of the parasite to Zhou Can.
“I suspect that there’s something in the large intestine that deters the parasites, so they can only shrink in the small intestine and live out their lives until they die, and then they are expelled with the feces. This is also because the patient’s large intestine has been chronically ill and has reduced absorption capacity, which allows us to discover some of the parasite bodies; otherwise, they would be hard to find.”
“Furthermore, the eggs produced by these parasites must have very strong absorptive abilities. They can firmly adhere to the walls of the small intestine, as evidenced by the very rare discovery of eggs in the feces. If the fecal samples taken are too small, you may not find any at all.”
The abilities evolved by this type of parasite are truly terrifying.
It’s almost as if they are tailor-made for humans, and they can easily escape routine stool tests.
Because in the lab, only a tiny amount of stool is typically sampled.
The daily testing quantity in the lab is immense.
If it isn’t detected the first time, it’s virtually impossible to check a second time. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
This greatly increases the chances of the parasite bodies and eggs escaping detection.
“If it were just the above characteristics, that wouldn’t be enough to call it peculiar. Because there are quite a few parasites with strong adaptative abilities that can evolve similar capacities. The key is that we have also detected trace amounts of hormones in the feces that can stimulate vasodilation in human capillaries. Whether these hormones are secreted by the patient themselves or are excretions from the parasites remains to be further studied and tested.”
Director Liu, having practiced medicine for many years, probably has never encountered such a peculiar parasite before.
“After medication, the patient’s vital signs are stable overall. Based on his bowel movements this morning, there’s been a significant improvement in his gastrointestinal bleeding. Regarding this patient’s treatment, I, like Dr. Shi have full confidence. Of course, the biggest credit goes to you.”
Director Liu looked at Zhou Can with admiration in his eyes.
“Being able to empathize so deeply with patients, urgently seeking what the patients urgently need, and running around to determine the cause of their illnesses not only requires immense passion but also great courage. Dr. Zhou, you are commendable.”
Director Liu gave him a thumbs up, not sparing in his praise of Zhou Can.
“You flatter me! I just did what a doctor should do.”
Zhou Can was somewhat embarrassed by the lavish praise.
“Those who know me are aware that I usually scold people and seldom praise them. Dr. Guan and even Doctor Hu have been criticized by me.”
When Director Liu said this, both the young doctor and Doctor Hu showed embarrassed smiles.
“Your medical foundation is solid, your diagnostic approach is innovative, and you have a compassionate heart for the patients. Honestly speaking, I really want to keep you in the Intensive Care Medicine Department. Our department greatly needs young and promising doctors like you.”
Wow!
After greatly praising Zhou Can, he actually began trying to recruit him.
“Thank you for your kind offer. During the three months of my training in the Intensive Care Medicine Department, I will definitely work twice as hard and continue to maintain a serious and responsible attitude.”
There were too many department heads looking to recruit Zhou Can.
Zhou Can turned them all down.
“I knew I couldn’t keep you, I really envy Director Lou of the Emergency Department! Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to follow Doctor Hu anymore, I’ll take charge personally.”
With that single statement, Director Liu stripped Doctor Hu of his mentoring duties.
At this moment, Doctor Hu finally realized just how in demand Zhou Can was.
He couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret; he hadn’t taken it too seriously when Zhou Can had been assigned to him by his superiors yesterday.
He just maintained the facade of professionalism.
How wonderful it would have been if he had valued Zhou Can’s diagnostic suggestions during their phone call last evening!
Curing patient in bed 7 was certainly no small feat.
He could have written a pretty decent paper about it.
Now, he had handed over this great opportunity to Dr. Shi.
To say he didn’t regret it, who would believe that?
It felt like buying a lottery ticket, where he had already picked the numbers, but didn’t buy it. Then someone nearby saw he didn’t buy, placed a bet on those numbers.
The next day, that person won the prize.
That was pretty much how Doctor Hu was feeling now.
“Thank you, Director Liu, for the cultivation! When should I find you tomorrow?”
Zhou Can was overjoyed, knowing that learning from a department head was far better than tagging along with Doctor Hu.
