20: Watching Baidu to cure diseases, are you kidding me?
Chapter 020: Treating Illness by Consulting Baidu? What a Joke!
"Shut up and don't move!"
Lin Yi roared, pushing the woman back onto the treatment bed.
He then threatened, "If you don't want to die, listen to me obediently!"
"I..." Xiao Wo was startled and was about to protest.
Seeing Doctor Lin's stern gaze, she immediately shut her mouth, her Heart beating uncontrollably.
"Lin Yi, what are you doing!"
Lu Chenxi was also shocked and quickly spoke to stop him.
Although the patient's words were excessive, he couldn't threaten the patient's life. If the Hospital found out, dismissal would be the lightest punishment.
"Let her go immediately!"
Teacher Lu was touched that her student stood up for her.
But she couldn't just watch Lin Yi act recklessly and ruin his future.
"I can now confirm that you are showing symptoms of mild tetanus."
"Only by cooperating with me to complete the examination as quickly as possible can you possibly save your life!"
Lin Yi didn't hear a word Lu Chenxi said.
Instead, he looked at the woman on the bed and quickly explained.
"Tetanus!" Lu Chenxi was stunned, then immediately stepped beside Lin Yi.
"Can you confirm it?"
"This is no laughing matter; tetanus can be fatal at any time."
Lu Chenxi had forgotten that she was just moments ago at odds with the woman in front of her.
Tetanus was absolutely not something to joke about; if it fully erupted, the mortality rate was as high as 100%.
"I'll draw blood for testing; you continue."
Although she still questioned Lin Yi's diagnosis,
Lu Chenxi was already preparing to find blood-drawing equipment to perform an urgent blood test on the patient.
Tetanus was like rabies; during examination, it was better to over-diagnose than to miss it.
"Do... Doctor, don't scare me?"
"How can it be tetanus!"
Seeing the two doctors on high alert,
Xiao Wo couldn't stop her body from trembling, and tears streamed down her face.
She had specifically listened carefully to the teacher explain the basic knowledge of tetanus during her physiology and hygiene class.
This disease was not easily contracted, but once infected, if not discovered in time, there was always a fatal risk.
And the tragic state of tetanus patients when the disease struck made one shudder just thinking about it.
Facing the great terror between life and death, the quarrel with the doctors was already insignificant!
"It's not fatal yet."
"But you must follow my instructions and not conceal even the slightest detail."
"As long as we find out the cause and control the condition in the shortest possible time, there shouldn't be a problem."
Given the patient's previous history of concealing her condition, Lin Yi had to give a serious reminder.
"Doctor Lin, just ask; I absolutely dare not hide anything."
"As long as you can cure the illness, I'll do anything!"
Xiao Wo pleaded with Lin Yi, her voice choked with sobs.
Now, even if she were beaten to death, she wouldn't dare to lie to the doctor.
"How exactly was the wound on the back of your hand formed? The more detailed, the better."
Lin Yi began questioning her about her condition while preparing an anesthetic needle.
"Yesterday, I attended a jewelry exhibition, and when I took off my bracelet, I accidentally..."
"After going to the plastic surgery Hospital, the doctor said my wound wasn't deep and only needed simple suturing; the key was scar healing..."
Xiao Wo recounted everything that happened before and after her injury yesterday.
Even details like which platform she borrowed money from online, how she learned about Lin Yi's excellent suturing skills in a chat group, and how she planned to deal with doctors at the Hospital.
She detailed everything at once... "When seeking medical attention, one should go to a proper Hospital. Only caring about beauty and not the condition, isn't this a joke?"
"And looking up strategies on Baidu? Being too clever for one's own good!"
After listening to Xiao Wo's narration, Lu Chenxi, who was drawing blood, sighed with genuine emotion.
Many people now try to treat themselves by consulting Baidu.
Everyone's physique is different, and the progression of their illness is different; the applicable treatment plans vary greatly.
If Baidu could cure illnesses, what would we need Hospitals and doctors for!
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." Xiao Wo lowered her Head and quietly admitted her mistake.
After calming down, she couldn't imagine how she could have been so irritable and prone to anger just now.
She wasn't usually like that.
"Sigh..." Lu Chenxi shook her Head and said nothing more.
"Now I need to remove your stitches, examine the wound, and re-clean it."
"If there's slight pain, please bear with it..."
After disinfecting the wound, infiltrating it with lidocaine, and informing the patient of the precautions,
Lin Yi carefully began to remove the patient's stitches.
"Teacher Lu, look, from the epidermal basal layer to below the dermis, there's already obvious inflammation."
After removing the sutures and fully exposing the wound,
Lin Yi pointed to the inflamed area for Lu Chenxi to see.
"I now suspect that when the bracelet cut the wound, there were tiny metal residues present."
"Then, the plastic surgeon didn't thoroughly clean the wound, which led to the possibility of the patient developing mild tetanus."
Following that, Lin Yi explained his analysis.
"Metal substances remaining in the wound can indeed induce tetanus."
"But wound inflammation, or even pus, these are very common symptoms."
"Based on these common symptoms, how can you be sure that the patient definitely has tetanus?"
After carefully examining the patient's wound, Lu Chenxi raised her doubts.
Normally, the incubation period for tetanus is 6 to 10 days.
Based solely on the current state of the wound, no doctor could definitively conclude tetanus.
Lu Chenxi couldn't figure out how Lin Yi had made the diagnosis.
"Uncontrolled minor facial muscle spasms, irritability, agitation..."
"I believe the patient herself didn't realize that her anger just now exceeded her usual behavior."
If it weren't for the system prompt, Lin Yi wouldn't have been able to confirm that the patient had clear symptoms of tetanus.
But with the prompt, combined with the various states the patient exhibited just now,
Lin Yi's explanation of the diagnostic method was barely plausible.
"Doctor Lin is right; I'm not usually like this at all."
"Just now, I don't know what happened, I just couldn't control my emotions."
Xiao Wo quickly spoke up, confirming Lin Yi's judgment.
"Alright, you go ahead and thoroughly clean the patient's wound."
"We can only confirm the diagnosis after the blood test results come out."
Lu Chenxi still didn't quite agree with such a subjective statement.
Only after the scientific examination report was available could the patient's next treatment plan be decided.
"Teacher Lu, the examination report."
Just as Lin Yi was carefully cleaning the patient's wound,
Fang Xiaoran ran into the suturing room and immediately handed the urgently submitted report to Lu Chenxi.
"White blood cell count, neutrophil count, and C-reactive protein are all slightly elevated."
"This..." Lu Chenxi murmured as she looked at the lab report in her hand.
Combining Lin Yi's diagnosis, Lu Chenxi could basically confirm that the patient's likelihood of having tetanus was very high.
However, these three slightly abnormal data points on the lab report, to a normal doctor, would only suggest the possibility of inflammation in the patient's body.
There was no precedent for directly diagnosing tetanus.
"Get a tetanus antitoxin shot, perform a skin test on the patient, and observe the reaction."
To be safe, other methods were still needed for confirmation...
