Doctor: start with the heart

Chapter 90 Strange Abdominal Pain

three days later.

04:30 in the afternoon.

With the attention of the dean and Zhang Huaiyi from the Ministry of Health, the research center was quickly set up, and elites from various departments also joined the research center.

In fact, it is a research center rather than a clinical center team. Once the team members find a patient who is suitable for stem cell cultivation technology, they will report to the team, and then the team members will discuss and evaluate the next treatment or operation.

As for the inducer developed by Zhao Xu, the biological laboratory selected by the Ministry of Health will carry out trial production, and the research center on Zhao Xu's side will be given priority.

As for the nanotube therapy project under the direction of Mr. Fu, it has also reached a strategic cooperation with the research center, which can be combined at any time when needed.

Sitting in the consulting room, Zhao Xu had already finished watching the patients who registered today, and now he felt different when seeing a doctor. He used to be struggling for his life, but now, Zhao Xu was more calm.

"Doctor Zhao, they are all saying that your patent licensing fee is tens of millions. Is it true?"

Fang Wei stood beside Zhao Xu and asked curiously.

In the past few days, in the hospital department, rumors about Zhao Xu have been flying all over the sky. Fang Wei refrained from asking about it two days ago, but today she was too curious.

"Who did you hear?"

Zhao Xu asked.

"That's what everyone is talking about."

Fang Wei continued.

"What's there to say, are you free..."

Zhao Xu said helplessly that he didn't like other people gossip about him, but he couldn't stop others from doing this kind of thing.

Originally, after Zhao Xu had performed a few extremely difficult surgeries, he was in the limelight in the First Affiliated Hospital, but now that he has come up with breakthrough results such as stem cell inducers, he is even more on the cusp of the storm.

Therefore, many people are now watching Zhao Xu's every move, and Fang Wei is just one of them.

"Where is the free time, you see I am busy every day and my feet don't touch the ground."

Fang Wei complained.

"Then you still have time to care about these gossips."

Zhao Xu said slowly.

He can't control what others say, but he doesn't like the people around him talking about gossip every day, which makes him feel very unprofessional.

"Well, I'm just asking casually, and I won't talk about it in the future."

Fang Wei keenly sensed the change in Zhao Xu's attitude, and said immediately.

She is not as casual with Zhao Xu now as before. After all, Zhao Xu is not only a resident doctor in the emergency department, but also has other titles. The consulting room is an outpatient clinic, but the meaning is completely different from before.

So, she had to hold on to Zhao Xu's thick push, maybe in a few years, when the tide rose, she would be like a head nurse or something.

"When you work, you have to do the work."

Zhao Xu didn't say anything more. He didn't want to stand on a high ground to accuse or teach others a lesson. This was not his style.

Some things are just fine.

"Uh-huh."

Fang Wei nodded quickly.

For some reason, Fang Wei felt that there seemed to be an extra layer of halo on Zhao Xu's body, the kind that shone brightly.

Think about it, young people in their early twenties, whose peers are Zhao Xu's age, have just graduated and are starting to look for a job, and those who are lucky enough to find a job are starting to become social animals.

How could someone like Zhao Xu, who was in his early twenties, be able to achieve both fame and wealth and freedom of wealth, and it was still in such a high-level way of scientific research.

Just now, in the first attached hospital, there are countless young nurses who are staring at Zhao Xu closely. If they can get close to him, they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.

"I'll go outside to see if there are any registered ones."

After a pause, Fang Wei said again.

She knew that Zhao Xu had to spare an hour to go to the research center before he got off work in the afternoon, so she was going to the outpatient hall to see if there were any patients.

"Well, let's go."

Zhao Xu said slowly.

Looking at Fang Wei's figure going out, Zhao Xu sensed the recent changes in Fang Wei, or in other words, the people around him had changed.

Of course, Zhao Xu thought that he hadn't changed, but had made some achievements. In front of Zhao Xu, who had the system, this achievement was not really that great.

But today Zhao Xu felt that in the eyes of others, he might already be a mountain.

He still needs to slowly adapt to this change in the people around him.

After a while, Fang Wei came in from the clinic. Behind her was a middle-aged couple. Although they looked about thirty, they were a little stooped, and their faces were a bit vicissitudes. A six or seven-year-old girl covering her head and holding her belly, her husband is holding a bulging black plastic bag in his right hand.

"sit down."

Zhao Xu, who had already got up to go to the research center, saw the couple coming in with their child, sat down again and said.

"Uh-huh."

The little girl's father nodded repeatedly, motioning for his wife to sit down with the child in her arms.

After the mother and daughter sat down, Zhao Xu asked gently, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

"Doctor, my aunt just has a stomachache. It's been several months. We took her to see many places, but none of them looked good."

The little girl's mother said with a sad face that her family was not well-off at first, and she was not in good health. She relied on the child's father to go out to work to maintain the family's life. Since the child fell ill, the couple took the child to see the past few months The illness has almost exhausted all my savings.

If it doesn't look good anymore, they can only take their children back to their hometown.

"Stomach hurts? Where have you seen it?"

Zhao Xu was a little puzzled when he heard this. Children's illnesses are not as complicated as adults'. For children with abdominal pain, there are only a few related diseases. It's a little strange that the little girl's mother said that she looked at so many places and didn't look good.

"Here, doctor, take a look. We've looked at everything from the county hospital to the city hospital, as well as the provincial hospital."

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, the little girl's father put the bulging black plastic bag on the desk and opened it, and took out a large stack of inspection materials from it and handed it to Zhao Xu.

"Ah."

Zhao Xu nodded, took the large stack of checklists from the little girl's father, and looked at them carefully.

However, the more he looked, the more confused he became, because from the county hospital to the provincial hospital, the doctors in these hospitals had already done a very comprehensive examination on the little girl. They had already done abdominal color ultrasound several times. There are abdominal CT, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), tumor screening and so on.

It can be said that these hospitals have done all the examinations that can be done, and they all show that there is an unknown mass in the abdomen, but they can't confirm what it is.

"Doctor, see if there is any other way to do some tests. If there is nothing to do here, we are going to take her back to her hometown."

The little girl's father said in a dull voice, after going to so many hospitals and spending so much money just for the examination, all his hopes were almost wiped out.

The savings are almost gone, and the child's illness has not been cured. If there is still nothing to do in this hospital, he can only take his wife and children back to his hometown.

"Tell me about the specific symptoms."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said.

The little girl's father heard what Zhao Xu said and looked at his wife.

"Nannan just has a stomachache. It's been almost three months, and it's been hurting all the time. It's so painful that she can't stand up."

The little girl's mother said that she seemed to keep emphasizing that the little girl had a stomachache, but she didn't say anything except the stomachache.

"Will you have diarrhea?"

Zhao Xu asked again.

"No, at first we also thought that my daughter had roundworms in her stomach. I went to several hospitals, but they all said there was nothing."

The little girl's mother replied.

Hearing what the little girl's mother said, Zhao Xu frowned deeply. In terms of symptoms, there was only persistent abdominal pain. Judging from the examination results of the major hospitals in his hand, apart from an unexplained mass in the abdomen, there was no abnormality. Discover.

The little girl's abdominal pain was simply too strange.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu couldn't think of any children suffering from diseases like this for the time being.

"Put the child over there, and I'll take a look."

Zhao Xu stood up and said, if you can't think of it for the time being, it is necessary to do a physical examination first.

"Ah."

The little girl's mother nodded, picked up the little girl, walked to the examination bed, and put the little girl on the examination bed.

"Kids, don't be nervous, uncle will check for you."

Zhao Xu rubbed his hands together to make them warmer, and said very gently.

"Well, uncle."

The little girl wrinkled her face, and nodded nonuo.

Seeing the little girl like this, Zhao Xu also felt his heart tighten.

"Does it hurt here?"

Zhao Xu began to examine the little girl according to the routine of abdominal examination.

"pain!"

The little girl exhaled softly.

"What about here?"

Zhao Xu frowned and pressed another place on his abdomen with his hand.

"It hurts too."

The little girl cried out again.

Zhao Xu checked several places in the abdomen, and the little girl cried out in pain.

Full abdominal pain?
With this result, Zhao Xu couldn't help scratching his head.

This pain in the whole abdomen is equivalent to no specific symptoms at all, which can point to any specific disease.

"Doctor, is there no way to know what's wrong with Nannan?"

Seeing Zhao Xu's expression of deep thought, the little girl's father couldn't help but feel a little hopeless. This attached hospital is the best hospital he could find. In fact, the attached hospital is also the top hospital in the country. .

Such a good doctor, the doctors inside can't find out the problem. Is it really like what the sorceress in my hometown said, that my daughter is being stalked by a little ghost?
Thinking of the village sorceress telling him that she would definitely take the child back to find her, the little girl's father felt a burst of powerlessness and despair.

He is also a person who has received compulsory education, how could he not know that those things that are talked about are all lies.

But if there is really no hope, he has no choice but to try.

Seeing the despairing look on the little girl's father's face, Zhao Xu thought about it. The little girl had already undergone abdominal ultrasound, CT, and MRI examinations in various hospitals. All the inspection methods, even in the First Attached Hospital, are nothing more than these inspections.

But it suddenly occurred to him that there might be other means of inspection.

Thinking of this, he said to the little girl's father: "There may be no other inspection methods in the hospital. But in my teacher's laboratory, there is a brand new inspection method."

Yes, what Zhao Xu thought of was his teacher, Fu Lao's nanotube therapy laboratory.

Nanotube therapy, in fact, is to use a large number of tiny nanotubes to carry drugs and directly enter cells to play a direct therapeutic role.

Due to the small pore size of these nanotubes, they can pass through all cell barriers in the human body and directly enter the cells.

The way Zhao Xu thought of was to let the harmless nanotubes carry markers, inject them into the little girl's abdomen, and then use special imaging equipment to get the most direct 3D imaging of the little girl's abdomen.

"Doctor, is this kind of examination expensive?"

Hearing Zhao Xu said there was a way, the little girl's father's gloomy eyes lit up, but he thought that his savings from part-time jobs in the past few years had almost been spent. Once the money is used up, he will have to take the child back.

"It's okay, it's just a general inspection, not expensive."

Zhao Xu comforted the little girl's father and said.

This nanotube treatment is the most cutting-edge technology at present, even if it is used to mark for inspection and development, it still consumes a certain amount of nanotubes.

However, Zhao Xu can pay most of the expenses directly from the medical relief fund established by the patent fee of the stem cell inducer he developed.

In this way, all the little girl's father has to pay is the general laboratory examination fee.

Of course, Zhao Xu could also take money directly from the medical assistance fund, exempting all medical expenses.

But if you do this, in the long run, it is actually not a good thing.

Keeping medical expenses within the range that patients' families can afford is the long-term solution.

The reason why many families go bankrupt because of medical treatment for their family members is because the medical expenses greatly exceed their family income.

If it is only a few hundred, thousands or tens of thousands of medical expenses, in fact, the average family can still bear it now.

But the cruel current situation is that the cost of medical care for severe and intractable diseases is extremely expensive. There are reasons for equipment and investment, and there are other reasons, so I won’t go into details here.

"Doctor, I only have so much money, is this enough?"

The little girl's father took out a dilapidated black leather bag directly from the black plastic bag, and took out the remaining 3 yuan from it, and said a little nervously.

"The examination fee will be included in the hospitalization fee later, and you should keep the money first."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said.

In the previous words, he might not have such authority.

But now he is also the deputy director of the Stem Cell Research Center. In terms of status, he is also equivalent to the director of a department, and he still has some authority.

But he can't break the rules of the entire industry.

"Well, thank you doctor, thank you."

The couple said together very gratefully.

Although I don't know if I can find out the problem with my daughter, there is still hope anyway, which is enough for the couple to be grateful.

The couple took their children to so many hospitals, and they were disappointed too many times.

"Go outside and wait for a while. I'll contact the laboratory and call you again. I'll take you there then."

Zhao Xu thought about it and said to the couple.

"Well, okay, doctor."

The couple nodded and took the child out of the consultation room.
