Chapter 167 Acute Appendicitis



"Doctor, do you think that if I take my braces off now, it will affect the final result of my orthodontic treatment?"

Gao Siya lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but still couldn't help asking Su Zhengnan the question that concerned her the most.

Removing braces can affect the final orthodontic results.

She'd rather continue having toothaches for a while than remove her braces.

Upon hearing this question from the other party.

Su Zhengnan immediately guessed what the other person was thinking and said with a smile, "You've been wearing these braces for almost two years now. Taking them off now won't affect the orthodontic results. Your teeth shape is basically set, so don't worry!"

At this point, seemingly afraid that the other party wouldn't believe him, Su Zhengnan added another sentence.

"Although I am a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, I also have some experience in treating our five sense organs and oral cavity, so my judgment is not wrong."

Hearing this, Gao Siya's worries subsided, and she nodded, saying, "I understand, thank you, Dr. Su. I'll go pick up the braces later."

"Okay, then take the form and pay the fee!"

As he spoke, Su Zhengnan handed the order slip to the other party.

Gao Siya took the order, got up, paid the money, and then left with the medicine.

After the other party left.

The TCM clinic in Su Zhengnan's office fell silent again, as if the students hadn't been getting sick much lately and hardly anyone was coming to the school clinic for treatment.

Perhaps it's because the changing season has already passed!

Su Zhengnan didn't care much about this, since he had the system's cheat code and didn't lack the clinical case experience he had accumulated.

Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but glance at the task data that had been updated today.

The data panel displayed:

[Host: Su Zhengnan.]

[Bound Identity: Beijing Film Academy School Doctor (Traditional Chinese Medicine)]

[Daily Task: Consult ten female students to receive the reward "Herbal Pair Proficiency Level". Current progress: 1/10 (Incomplete).]

[Special Mission: Participate in a surgical operation and dominate over 70% of the treatment during that operation to receive a reward of 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Talent +5'. Current progress: 0/1 (Incomplete).]

[Hidden Quest: Teach ten students on-campus health preservation techniques. You will receive the reward 'Mastery of the Complete Text of Traditional Chinese Medicine's Zhuyou Branch'. Current progress: 3/10 (Incomplete).]

.........

"Hmm? This reward can even enhance one's talent in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Su Zhengnan's expression faltered slightly; he was somewhat surprised by the special mission reward that had appeared today.

His talent for traditional Chinese medicine was already quite good.

If this were improved further...

His talent in traditional Chinese medicine is probably about to break through the heavens!

However, this task is quite difficult, since school doctors don't have many surgeries to perform; they can only be performed in large hospitals.

Therefore, if he wants to complete this task, he can only wait for the emergency department of the Third People's Hospital or his fifth senior brother to call him for a consultation. Only then might he have the opportunity to participate in a surgical operation to complete this task.

Fortunately, Su Zhengnan wasn't in a hurry. He was sure he would complete the task sooner or later, and the reward was definitely in order.

"Glug... Glug..."

Su Zhengnan picked up the water glass on the table and took two sips of the goji berry and ginseng tea. He felt warm and comfortable all over after drinking the tea.

Tap tap tap...

It was at this moment.

Suddenly, Sun Huaiwei from next door ran over and said urgently to Su Zhengnan, "Dr. Su, I have a student with an illness that I'm not sure about. Could you please take a look?"

"Um?"

Su Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bewildered as he looked at Sun Huaiwei who had suddenly run over to ask for his help!

He originally thought that Sun Huaiwei wouldn't take the initiative to ask him for help even if she encountered problems, but now it seems that he underestimated this young lady. It seems that she is not the kind of princess who is obsessed with saving face!

Or perhaps what Dr. Yang said to her before had an effect?

Without hesitation, Su Zhengnan stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go take a look."

As they spoke, Su Zhengnan walked out of his own clinic and followed Sun Huaiwei to the other clinic. There, he saw a girl with a face that was about 7 or 8 out of 10 in terms of looks, with long hair, who was sitting in a chair clutching her hand and looking pained.

"What happened?"

Su Zhengnan turned to Sun Huaiwei and asked her a question, then stepped forward and grabbed the girl's wrist to examine it.

Sun Huaiwei replied anxiously, "I don't know what's wrong either. When she came in, she said she had a stomachache, but it was just a little abdominal pain and she didn't have any other symptoms. It wasn't diarrhea either, so I really don't know what medicine to give her."

Su Zhengnan took the girl's pulse and found nothing seriously wrong. He then placed his hand on her abdomen and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

"It doesn't hurt here!"

What about here?

"Ouch...it hurts...it hurts..."

Does it hurt here?

"pain....."

After pressing a few spots with a frown, Su Zhengnan turned to Sun Huaiwei and said, "Call 120. She may have acute appendicitis. It's best to go to the hospital for a minor appendectomy. Medication alone won't stabilize her condition."

It's important to know that appendicitis is a special case. Generally, taking antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs can only relieve symptoms at most, and cannot completely cure the disease.

Therefore, most people now choose surgical removal to eliminate all their troubles forever.

"Acute appendicitis? Okay, I understand!"

Sun Huaiwei nodded and immediately took out her phone to dial 120 for emergency medical assistance.

"Doctor...it hurts so much, I can't take it anymore...please help me..."

The girl clutched her stomach, clutching Su Zhengnan's hand with a pained expression. She gripped his hand so tightly that it almost left marks.

Seeing this, Su Zhengnan quickly comforted him, "Bear with it for a little while, I'll give you acupuncture to relieve the pain!"

As he spoke, Su Zhengnan took out the silver needles from his body, squatted down, lifted the other person's trouser leg, and inserted them into Zusanli (ST36).

Combining Zusanli with some auxiliary acupoints, such as Hegu and Tianshu, can promote intestinal peristalsis, accelerate intestinal emptying, thereby improving blood circulation around the appendix and achieving the effects of relieving pain and fever and improving the body's immune function.

However, acupuncture has certain limitations in treating appendicitis.

Therefore, if the pain or bloating cannot be relieved, it is best to choose surgical removal and never blindly choose conservative treatment.
