Chapter 153 Are you married?
When the patients learned that a new doctor had come to the gynecology department and that he was Professor Yin's apprentice, they were very happy and asked Professor Yin to immediately help Lu Xingtang with his employment procedures. Once the procedures were completed, he could treat them.
Yin Meixin thought it made sense and immediately asked Xu Yan to take over. She immediately completed the entry procedures for Lu Xingtang and gave her a work ID card. The patients in the base are now very well-educated. They can tell whether someone is a doctor or a nurse by looking at the work ID card. No matter how they line up, they will not block the way of the doctor or nurse.
After Lu Xingtang completed the entry procedures, Yin Meixin asked, "Tangtang, when do you plan to start work?"
Lu Xingtang put on his work ID card and said, "I can go to work now, but teacher, my husband is waiting for me at the stairs. I have to tell him not to wait for me in the hospital."
"Your husband? Are you married? In the apocalypse..."
"Teacher, don't worry. He's a trustworthy person. I should entrust the rest of my life to him! I trust him, and he trusts me too!" Seeing that Yin Meixin still didn't believe him, Lu Xingtang immediately turned around and went out to tell Ji Yanmo about what happened with the teacher. Ji Yanmo immediately said, "Wife, Professor Yin is your family. You have to help me put in a good word for him and don't let his family have any opinions about me! I'll go home and cook for the teacher, and I'll pick you up when you get off work!"
Lu Xingtang nodded with a smile, and returned to the gynecology office under Ji Yanmo's slightly resentful gaze.
When the patients knew that she would start treating them immediately, they all took the initiative to help her tidy up the desk. After the desk was rearranged, Lu Xingtang familiarized herself with the layout of the gynecology department and the locations of medical equipment and drugs. After making sure there would be no mistakes, she returned to the treatment room.
Yin Meixin stopped examining the patient for the time being and stared at Lu Xingtang. If Lu Xingtang made a mistake, she could correct it in time so that she would not make a wrong diagnosis for the patient or even prescribe the wrong medicine.
Lu Xingtang looked at the patient sitting on the stool next to her desk and said, "Hold out your hand!"
The female patient immediately stretched out her hand, and Lu Xingtang felt her pulse. "Tell me about your condition?"
"Doctor Lu, I've been experiencing unexplained bleeding for the past month. My periods have become longer and heavier, and there's a lot of discharge with a odor. Sometimes I also experience dizziness, weakness, and frequent and urgent urination. Could you please tell me what type of gynecological condition I have? How can I get better?"
Lu Xingtang immediately performed an HPV test on her and discovered that she had been infected with the HPV virus. "I recommend that you be admitted to the hospital for treatment. I suspect that HPV infection has led to cervical cancer! You need a detailed examination now. Only after the examination is confirmed can I give you treatment or prescribe medication."
"Cervical cancer?" The female patient was startled and looked up at Yin Meixin. Yin Meixin didn't say anything, which meant that Lu Xingtang didn't lie to her. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I discuss this with my husband? He's downstairs!"
Her husband likes to beat her at every turn, and most of her gynecological diseases come from him. If he hadn't been more honest after the base was reorganized, her symptoms would probably have become more serious.
Lu Xingtang nodded: "Okay, no matter what, I hope you will receive treatment! If you don't receive treatment now, you may not have a chance. In the end times, you must be kind to yourself!"
The female patient went to discuss with her family, and then she continued to see patients, not only taking their pulses but also asking questions. Yin Meixin nodded repeatedly. This girl did not abandon her studies because of the outbreak of the apocalypse.
Before he finished examining the patient in hand, the family of the female patient came angrily into the examination room, dragging the female patient with her.
"Are you the doctor who treats my wife? You are so young, how can you treat a disease? Cervical cancer? Your whole family has cervical cancer! My wife is fine, please prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine for her, quickly!" The female patient's husband looks fierce, but his behavior is very rude and unreasonable. "What are you looking at? Give her the medicine quickly!" The patient's family members urged anxiously.
Lu Xingtang's gaze fell on the female patient. "Cervical cancer isn't a terminal illness. I suspect you're in the early stages of it. As long as you receive prompt treatment, you'll recover! Are you sure you want to listen to your family? Just taking medication without a cure? Don't be afraid. This is Hope Base. Our base commander has established many strict rules and regulations. If your family doesn't allow you to seek treatment, you can report them to the supervisory department!"
"Report me? Do you know if I have someone in the supervisory department? Who dares to report me?"
Lu Xingtang raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, there were some bad apples in the base. "I dare you!" Lu Xingtang slowly stood up, grabbed the patient's family member's shoulders and threw him over his shoulder, then stomped hard on his chest. "Amo!"
Ji Yanmo immediately rushed into the treatment room, "Tangtang? He bullied you!"
Lu Xingtang said calmly, "He said he has someone in the supervisory department!" Ji Yanmo understood, "I'll take care of this!" He immediately grabbed the patient's family member's arm, dragged him away, "Tangtang, work hard, this little thing will be solved quickly!"
The female patient was shocked when she saw her husband being taken away. "Why are you taking my husband away? Let him go! I want to cure him. I'll cure him now!"
Lu Xingtang pulled the female patient and asked her to sit down. He looked at the red and swollen finger marks on her face and said, "Haven't you been beaten enough? Don't you want this kind of life to end? The supervisory department of the base will clean it up immediately. You don't need to worry about retaliation!" He paused,
"I've already said that cervical cancer isn't a terminal illness. As long as you receive prompt treatment, you'll recover. Our base commander is very kind and allows all patients to receive medical treatment first and then return the medical supplies. As long as you apply to our doctors and wait for approval, you can begin treatment! It won't take long, half a day at most. When you recover, go earn supplies and return them!"
The female patient saw Lu Xingtang's determined eyes and agreed: "I agree to the treatment!"
Lu Xingtang immediately arranged for the female patient to undergo a vaginal examination to determine the morphology, location, and size of the lesion. Further examinations were performed using a vaginal endoscope to observe any heteromorphic epithelial changes in the cervix. The results were analyzed and a cervical biopsy was performed to rule out benign cervical lesions and further confirm the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
Then, through imaging examinations such as magnetic resonance imaging and CT, the tumor morphology, size, and whether metastasis has occurred are observed.
The final diagnosis was cervical cancer. Luckily, it was in the early stages.
Lu Xingtang told her the treatment plan, "A combination of drug treatment and surgical treatment."
Yin Meixin asked, "The plan is good, but what medication should you prescribe for her?"
Lu Xingtang replied: "Cisplatin, fluorouracil, vincristine..."
"What about surgical treatment?"
"If you don't consider having children, you can have a hysterectomy to remove the lesion. If you want to have children, you can choose a radical trachelectomy."
