"Director Ding, how come you have time to come and see me today?" Li Zheng put away the surgery book and said with a smile.
Ding Bo turned around, waved, and said, "I'm here to talk to you about something. There's a patient who's quite special, and I'd like you to take a look at him."
Ding Bo's words cheered everyone up.
Chen Dayong woke up instantly.
"Oh? What patient?" Li Zheng asked.
Just as he finished speaking, a mother and daughter appeared at the door.
Ding Bo led them into the office.
As soon as he came in, Li Zheng's attention was focused on the little girl.
The little girl looked about 10 years old, very thin, pale, with pale lips and yellow hair, and looked very listless.
This is obviously long-term malnutrition.
"They are villagers from our town. They came to the health center for treatment this morning. I found lumps in the little girl's abdomen and intestines. They should not be roundworms," said Ding Bo.
"Oh? Why are you sure it's not roundworms?" Li Zheng asked. In this day and age, children with chronic malnutrition like this are most likely to have roundworms.
Ding Bo shook his head and said, "The mass in her abdomen is obviously harder than a roundworm mass. Furthermore, she's vomiting blood and has tarry black stools. This clearly indicates upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Roundworms generally don't cause gastrointestinal bleeding, do they?"
Li Zheng nodded and said, "That's true. I'll check it out first and then do some related tests."
Li Zheng showed a gentle expression, waved to the little girl, and said, "Come here, uncle will help you check."
The little girl was very obedient and came to Li Zheng obediently.
Li Zheng sat on a chair, leaning forward slightly, looking at the little girl and asking, "Little sister, what's your name? How old are you this year?"
The little girl glanced at her mother.
Her mother glared at him and said angrily, "You just answer whatever the doctor asks you, you sickly little thing. You've been a real worry since you were a kid!"
This made everyone around feel very uncomfortable.
How could this mother scold her daughter like that?
The little girl was obviously afraid of her mother and lowered her head.
Ding Bo said angrily, "You bitch, your eldest daughter's illness was caused by your scolding!"
The girl's mother looked at Ding Bo and smiled, saying, "Dean Ding, you don't know, this eldest child has been sick since childhood and can't help with housework. Look at our rural family. If the eldest child doesn't help the family, it will be very difficult!"
Ding Bo snorted coldly and said, "I think you favor boys too much. Before your Sanya was born, you were very good to your two daughters!"
"Dean Ding, watch what you say. Who still favors boys over girls these days?" The girl's mother said this, but her tone was very weak.
Li Zheng ignored her, looked at the little girl, and said, "Don't be afraid. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me and I will heal you."
The little girl felt a long-lost love from Li Zheng, nodded, and whispered, "My name is Sun Xiaoyun, I'm 13 years old, and I just have a stomachache. I can't eat, and I vomit even when I drink water."
Everyone was stunned.
It turns out he is 13 years old, but looks like 10.
This is really poor in nutrition.
"How long have you been in this situation?" Li Zheng asked again.
"Two days."
hiss!
There was a sound of someone sucking in a breath of cold air.
Who can stand this for two days?
Moreover, long-term poor eating definitely lasted for more than two days, not just two days of not being able to eat at all.
"How long has it been since you last had a bowel movement?" Li Zheng asked.
"Five days."
The girl whispered, stealing a glance at her mother.
"You little idiot, you haven't been able to poop for so many days, why didn't you tell me earlier!" the girl's mother said viciously.
The girl was so frightened by her mother's scolding that she covered her head with her hands, shrank towards Li Zheng, and unconsciously grabbed her hair with her hands.
"Okay, stop talking!" Ding Bo said coldly.
The girl's mother smiled awkwardly and quickly shut up.
Li Zheng comforted the little girl.
After the little girl gradually stabilized, he reached out and pulled open her lower eyelid to take a look.
The capillaries are light red, almost bloodless.
I picked up the little girl's shriveled little hand and took a look. The nail bed was also pale.
"Okay, let's go to the treatment room and uncle will help you touch your stomach again." Li Zheng said, stood up, and pulled the little girl out.
The others hurried to follow.
The little girl's mother pulled Ladinbo's clothes, and the two fell behind.
The girl's mother whispered, "Director Ding, please ask the doctor not to examine me too much. I don't have much money with me."
Ding Bo glared at her and said coldly, "No matter how poor you are, you have to treat your child! I see your youngest son is still wearing a silver bracelet. If you don't have money, you can sell it!"
"How can that be!" the girl's mother said anxiously, "That's for the safety and health of Xiaobao, how can we sell it!"
Ding Bo said coldly again: "If you treat your eldest daughter like this, be careful that she won't support you when she grows up!"
"She dares!" The girl's mother wanted to say something harsh, but seeing that Dean Ding's eyes were not very good, she quickly shut up.
Li Zheng asked the little girl to lie on the treatment bed and bend her legs.
"Relax your stomach, uncle will press it for you." Li Zheng said gently.
The little girl cooperated very well.
Li Zheng started from the right lower abdomen and gradually palpated the abdomen.
In the mid-abdomen, several lumps can be clearly felt, which are hard in texture and do not feel like lumps of roundworms.
"Does it hurt when you press it?" Li Zheng asked.
The little girl nodded, looking painful, but she held back and didn't make a sound.
Li Zheng pressed the upper abdomen again and felt a hard, movable lump.
"This lump looks familiar." Li Zheng whispered.
"What lump?" Chen Dayong asked.
Li Zheng released his hand and said, "Press it and you'll know."
Chen Dayong also pressed it gently.
"This lump is in the stomach and is free!" Chen Dayong exclaimed in surprise.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "This should be a stone in the stomach."
"oh?"
Chen Dayong asked the little girl, "Do you like to eat persimmons?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't eat persimmons."
Chen Dayong couldn't think of any other stones in his stomach.
"This stone is quite big, at least 15 centimeters." As a general surgeon, Chen Dayong still has the feel for it.
"Ah? How can we get such a big stone out?" the girl's mother asked worriedly.
Chen Dayong glanced at her and knew that she was not worried about the little girl, but about how much money it would cost.
"Of course we need surgery to get it out!" said Chen Dayong.
"Ah? That will cost a lot of money. Our family has no money. What should we do?" The girl's mother burst into tears instantly.
Chen Dayong couldn't bear to see her playing the victim, so he said coldly: "Even if you don't have money, you have to find a way to treat it!"
"Okay, let's further complete the examination. Don't worry about the medical expenses, we will find a way." Li Zheng said.
