Chapter 66 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
I really don't understand what she's thinking.
However, winning the first match of the team competition made them put this matter out of their minds.
Hehe, they won today, even though it was thanks to Lin Wei, it's still a win. But I can't say I'm not curious. She managed to turn the tide in the team competition today, so why did she lose in the afternoon session? Just how strong does someone have to be to beat her?
Unconsciously, the image of a person appeared in Zheng Wenhua's mind. "I can't be that unlucky, can I? I just finished competing with him in the morning, and I ran into him in the afternoon?"
She shared her guess with the people around her, feeling somewhat guilty, thinking that it was their words that morning that had caused Lin Wei to suffer an undeserved misfortune.
However, they were overthinking it. She wasn't as badly off as they imagined. Although she lost, it wasn't an easy victory for Chi Boyan. With a total score of 30, he could only be described as narrowly winning by two points.
But it's not impossible to catch up by those two points; there are still two games left. Thinking about the upcoming matches, Lin Wei wasn't nervous or anxious. Instead, she continued reading her book as usual. She did want to finish her third-year textbook, but wasn't that unrealistic? It was better to take it one step at a time.
Ultimately, she lost simply because she hadn't studied it, and she could accept that.
So even though Chi Boyan won, he wasn't very happy. He listened to people praising him, but his face remained expressionless.
It's just a competition, is there anything to be so happy about? Besides, he doesn't think he should be proud of beating her this time. If she had studied any of the third-year material today, they would have tied. To be able to master second-year material in such a short time, even he couldn't help but acknowledge her as a formidable opponent.
More than a two-point victory, he wanted a complete crushing defeat. Chi Boyan's cold eyes were filled with ambition, but he also knew it was too difficult. In this short period of time, they seemed to have a slight gap, but that gap was too weak, offering no competitive advantage whatsoever.
At this point, he thought of his family's plans and the path his new teacher had laid out for him: to study abroad and pave a way with various practical and clinical experiences.
That's quite interesting.
Abroad, a land of disorder and a paradise for ambitious individuals, is where he desires to be—a place he dislikes rules and constraints. It's not, as his family and teachers claim, a place with a smooth path to success, where he has the talent and ability to excel anywhere. Do they even need to tell him that?
Lin Wei also possessed that kind of confidence and arrogance that came from the bottom of her bones, but unfortunately, he was unrestrained, while she, despite being proud, still had to pretend to be gentle. Sometimes, when Chi Boyan saw her, he wanted to tear off that mask.
They were the same kind of people, and she was, so far, the only person of his generation he could find acceptable. Therefore, after this competition, he would formally invite her to study abroad together. He was confident that, given time, their names would spread throughout the entire medical and even biological communities.
Fortunately, Lin Wei was unaware of his ambitions, otherwise she would have been dumbfounded. He really dared to dream big! While she was still thinking about how to become an excellent doctor, he was already looking towards the world. And to make matters worse, he even wanted to take her along! She really had to thank him for thinking so highly of her.
You have to understand that her pride is only based on the present moment, while his pride is a contemptuous feeling that no one in the world can look up to him. You can't learn that, you really can't learn that.
The competition proceeded as scheduled the next morning. This time, Zheng Wenhua and her team suffered an unprecedented blow. Apart from Lin Wei and Chi Boyan's group, which was able to maintain a back-and-forth battle, the other three groups were completely wiped out.
Perhaps because they lost yesterday, Sichuan University was on a roll this time, with only one goal: to crush them and scare them. And because of this, you can imagine what the result was.
Yesterday, the team was overjoyed to win the game, but today, after losing, they were completely disoriented. They were just too strong. Their teammates alone could put so much pressure on them, so you can imagine how much pressure Lin Wei was facing.
But this was just their guess. In fact, it was fine. She knew what she could do and what she couldn't do. There was no pressure. The main thing was that she already knew the result of this team competition. She didn't have any hope to begin with, so losing was just losing.
She's already lost one of her individual matches, why would she care about a team match?
However, after the competition, when Chi Boyan asked, "Why didn't you choose Sichuan University, but instead chose University A?", Lin Wei still raised an eyebrow. "Because University A has a newly built biology lab. You should know how attractive that is to people who want to study biology, right?" It's a pity, if she had more time, she really would have liked to stay there and not leave.
So she only went twice.
Chi Boyan: "That's it?"
Lin Wei didn't understand why he asked that, and nodded, "Yeah, that's it. Is there a problem?"
Chi Boyan shook his head. "No problem."
At that moment, the arguing that came from the side interrupted their conversation.
"Defeated opponents." The people from Sichuan University looked at Zheng Wenhua and her group and mocked them. Who told them to call them losers yesterday?
Ou Ziming: "So what if you're a defeated opponent? Didn't you still beat them yesterday?"
"So you are the defeated of the defeated." It was impossible not to hear such a loud voice.
Lin Wei and Chi Boyan glanced at it but didn't pay any attention. One thought it was normal for them to be called losers yesterday, and the other thought they were just teammates and not close, so they could argue with whoever they wanted. So they didn't bother with it.
It wasn't until they realized the others had left that they finally left angrily and reluctantly, but they all felt a sense of abandonment.
They really looked down on them, and they seemed a little aggrieved.
The afternoon's individual competition soon followed, and unlike the morning's team competition, it focused on the diagnosis of illnesses.
"This is a patient who was admitted to the hospital complaining of cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Here is his medical record. Only some basic physical examinations have been performed. Now, please use your knowledge to tell me what diseases he might have, what the basis is, what tests are needed for diagnosis, and how to treat him," several doctors said, each handing a blank sheet of paper to answer.
During this time, they can proactively ask patients questions.
This is a very clinical examination, and it covers a lot of topics. It is indeed a great opportunity to test your skills, much more valuable than hypoglycemia.
Lin Wei took the case file and glanced at it. She noted that the routine physical examination only involved things like blood pressure, pulse, and temperature. However, her focus was on the patient's chief complaint: multiple doses of cold medicine had been ineffective, indicating it was definitely not a common cold.
She didn't rush to write it down, but instead went over and asked him when his symptoms started, what kind of cough he had, and whether he had phlegm.
Some people listened attentively to what she said.
The old doctor watching from the stage glanced at her number and added a point to her score. It could be said that the scoring had already begun the moment they stood there.
Upon seeing this, Chi Boyan quickly stepped forward and asked questions. The two of them almost simultaneously wrote down two examinations on the paper: a chest CT scan and a complete blood count. Of course, they also wrote down some information obtained from the patient's questions.
A year ago, I suddenly developed a cough that persisted despite treatment. I also experienced fatigue, shortness of breath when walking, and a dry cough without phlegm, which often occurred at night. There was no hemoptysis, but the possibility of tuberculosis or other lung-related diseases cannot be ruled out, and further examination is needed.
Since the patients had already undergone these examinations, the CT scans and images were placed in front of them at the students' request.
Lin Wei's gaze fell on the obvious pleural effusion. You wouldn't say she was an expert at reading films, but it would be quite unlikely that she couldn't even see some basic imaging findings.
Pleural effusion, it was pleural effusion! At that moment, she thought of a disease: tuberculous pleurisy.
Pulmonary tuberculosis occurs in the lungs, while tuberculous pleurisy clearly occurs within the pleura, with pleural effusion. Therefore, his feelings of fatigue, weakness, and chest tightness are quite normal. So, quickly, others wrote down a test request: a tuberculin skin test. A positive tuberculin skin test would confirm whether he had tuberculous pleurisy.
Lin Wei initially intended to write it that way, but she quickly dismissed the idea. Whether it's a dry cough or chest tightness and shortness of breath without phlegm, it's mainly caused by pleural effusion. So the question is about what disease can cause pleural effusion. At this moment, many answers appeared in her mind: heart failure, liver and kidney dysfunction, etc., all of which can cause pleural effusion.
In fact, the latter is very unlikely. Even when doing practice problems, the most that might occur is tuberculous pleurisy, which is a relatively common clinical case. However, Lin Wei was still a little worried and went over to ask, "Besides what you mentioned above, have you had any other discomfort this year?" If not, she could first do a tuberculin skin test. If the test was negative, then she could do a liver and kidney function test, as well as a cardiac ultrasound.
The patient hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "No."
Upon seeing this, Lin Wei decisively wrote down three tests on the form. She didn't know if it was tuberculous pleurisy yet, but he definitely wasn't telling the truth. Maybe it was a complication? At this point, she was just guessing and didn't think it was possible because the chances were too small.
However, the old doctor who saw her writing down the answers not far away looked at her strangely. He didn't expect her to have all three tests done. Why? But at this moment, he still brought in the materials she needed, just as she required.
Lin Wei's eyes widened slightly upon seeing this. The cardiac ultrasound was normal, but his liver and kidney function were severely impaired, and he also had tuberculin infection. So, was his pleural effusion a complication?
