"My stomach hurts, it might be appendicitis," Li Lechen said to his health assistant.
"You just need to tell us your symptoms, and we'll arrange for you to undergo professional testing," the health assistant explained. "So, do you need a full-body checkup or just a partial one?"
"Partially."
Theoretically speaking, a physical examination is like sweeping the floor; no matter how clean the floor is, there will still be dust when you sweep it. Therefore, even the healthiest body will inevitably have some problems if examined thoroughly.
Li Lechen had some understanding of his own health condition; he had appendicitis, mainly because he fussed too much after eating.
Actually, students are quite pitiful. They don't have much time to stroll or rest after meals. They mostly rush to eat and then rush to class. With such a rush, their appendix can easily become blocked and inflamed.
As for other aspects of health, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Of course, the reason for not allowing future hospitals to conduct comprehensive examinations is mainly to avoid unnecessary complications. Who knows if the results of such examinations will be forced to be used, and it would be troublesome if someone said they needed a heart or kidney transplant.
Choosing a partial checkup is also inexpensive, costing only 100 coins.
Soon, the health assistant provided the test results: "Dear boy, your appendix is indeed inflamed, and the best solution is to remove it."
"Will my medical resources be needed for an appendectomy?"
Li Lechen was also quite concerned about this. Although he had never met his clone, he knew that it was exactly the same as him, able to move, breathe, talk, and even have thoughts. If it was going to die because he had his appendix removed, Li Lechen could still grit his teeth and have the surgery done at his hospital.
Fortunately, the health assistant denied this: "We're just removing your appendix, so it won't affect your medical resources."
"That......"
"However, if you have your appendix removed, your medical resources will also need to have their appendix removed to keep them exactly the same as yours."
That's fine.
As long as it's not like someone else dies because I had an appendectomy, that's fine. It's the same as having an appendectomy anyway, so just think of it as your clone sharing your misfortune.
"Then I asked how the surgery would be performed, whether it would be convenient, whether it would hurt, and how long it would take?"
"Appendectomy is a very minor outpatient procedure. Whether it is a routine resection or a refined resection, it is non-invasive."
"Non-invasive? No need to cut open the abdomen?"
"Of course."
What's the difference between standard cutting techniques and premium cutting techniques?
"Premium cutting techniques are quite expensive, requiring 1000 coins."
"I mean, what's the difference between the two surgeries, not the price." Li Lechen was speechless.
The health assistant failed to detect Li Lechen's speechlessness because its answer, validated by big data, was the most appropriate response to the questioner's needs and was flawless.
Of course, when the question was raised again, the health assistant answered seriously: "A regular appendectomy simply removes the appendix, leaving a scar inside the body for a period of time. But a premium appendectomy will leave no damage to the body, as if the appendix had never grown at all."
Is this even possible?
I'm truly impressed by the medical technology of two thousand years later.
Li Lechen decisively paid 1,000 coins and began to enjoy the appendectomy treatment service in the future world.
As instructed by the health assistant, Li Lechen closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and took slow, deep breaths.
My stomach felt slightly warm.
Li Lechen subconsciously looked down and didn't see any changes in his stomach from the outside; the heat was felt from the inside.
Does this mean the surgery has already started?
I felt a slight warm sensation, but nothing else. Could it be that the inflamed appendix is being removed? What happens to the removed appendix afterward? Does it evaporate inside the body?
Well, the only word Li Lechen could think of was "evaporation," otherwise how could it be done non-invasively?
Wait a moment!
If appendectomy is non-invasive, that's understandable, but can organ transplants also be non-invasive? This is truly unbelievable, the future of medicine!
While he was still lost in thought, just over a minute later, the health assistant prompted him: "Dear Wind Chaser, your appendectomy is now complete. You should rest for five to ten minutes."
Is that all?
And you only need to rest for five to ten minutes?
Is it true?
You look much better!
Suddenly, a cup of hot water was placed in front of him, and Luo Li, who had returned, interrupted Li Lechen's various speculations.
“Really.” Luo Li looked at Li Lechen carefully again, and then at the tiny bit of saline solution left. “Just now I thought you definitely needed surgery, your complexion was really bad, but now you look normal.”
"Yes, I feel much better too." Li Lechen nodded.
Soon, the nurse came and removed the needle.
Li Lechen then said to the nurse, "I don't feel any pain at all anymore, can we go home now?"
"No!" the nurse immediately refused. "Your condition is very serious. You need to be examined by the attending physician first. You'd better complete the admission procedures."
That's right. Based on the previous diagnosis, Li Lechen's appendicitis has been confirmed. If he hadn't insisted on conservative treatment, he could have been hospitalized, had X-rays taken, and then prepared for surgery.
"But I feel great right now, should I ask the doctor to take another look?"
As he spoke, Li Lechen leaned closer to the nurse to show her his rosy and healthy complexion. Luo Li was right; just by looking at his face, it was clear he had improved significantly.
