When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 568: Oddity



Tomorrow is finally December 5th.

Chen Cang has become increasingly excited these past few days.

Lennar Cons told Chen Cang that the ring would arrive on December 5th.

To prevent the ring from not arriving, Chen Cang had already purchased a fake diamond ring for 120 yuan from Taobao. Hmm, it’s quite big and quite pretty too.

This made Chen Cang feel that the pink diamond might have been a bit of a loss?

However, the thought of it being personally designed by Tiffany’s top designer was a very good thing indeed.

The restaurant Chen Cang had booked was full of snob appeal, and he even picked a spot by the window, not to mention hiring a professional violin band to perform music!

Everything was designed to be absolutely perfect!

Chen Cang awaited tomorrow with great anticipation.

After some intense research, Chen Cang had discovered that women are superficial creatures, even though they know that diamond rings are better-looking than useful, they still really like them.

In the past few days, Chen Cang had been tirelessly peddling his ’diamond rings are useless’ theory to Qin Yue!

For instance, how diamond rings are just hyped up and superficial, how natural diamonds are a scam, and how synthetic diamonds are actually quite excellent...

But when Qin Yue saw the handsome and domineering CEO on TV kneel on one knee, pulling out an egg-sized diamond, the impact was explosive!

So at that moment, Chen Cang’s mind formed the following logical relationship:

Women are superficial!

Pretty equals superficial!

Useful is greater than pretty!

Therefore, women like pretty things.

Hmm, such illogical reasoning!

But then again... do women argue with you using logic?

So, no matter what, women just like pretty things!

Logic?

Pfft!

Wake up, you single dog.

...

...

The office, for once, was engulfed in a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Perhaps today everyone was busy with work and had no time to fall ill, or maybe it was the end of the year and everyone was racing to reach their targets, daring not to fall sick.

In any case, the office was unusually crowded today.

Zhang Shu stood up to take a call and then started laughing non-stop, unable to contain herself!

The entire office stared at Zhang Shu, completely baffled!

Unable to resist, Wang Qian asked, "Miss Zhang, what’s so funny? Share it with everyone, let us all have a good laugh together!"

Zhang Shu laughed for quite a while until she finally caught her breath and rubbed her stomach, "Haha... hold on, let me catch my breath!" @@novelbin@@

Zhang Shu laughed for a few more minutes!

It wasn’t until her face was too sore to laugh any longer that she rubbed her face, sighed, sat down on her chair, and said with a smile, "Oh my, I can’t take it, it’s killing me!"

Wang Qian, scratching his head and itching with impatience, immediately said, "Miss Zhang, if you don’t tell me now, I’m going to cry!"

It was then that Zhang Shu finally said with a laugh, "I admitted a patient for emergency care a few days ago, with a rare lung infection. We checked for a long time and couldn’t figure out the cause, so we just transferred them to the pulmonary disease department. Today Yang Xiaoming told me about this patient, haha... guess what caused it!"

The group couldn’t help but roll their eyes, "Is that it? Teacher Zhang, you’ve really let us down!"

Laughter brought tears to Zhang Shu’s eyes as she couldn’t help but say, "The patient had a fungal infection in the lungs, but do you know where the infection came from?"

"Director Yang told me that the patient has a habit of smelling his own stinky socks every day. He does it so often it’s become a sort of addiction. Before going to bed each night and washing his feet, he takes a whiff of his socks. Despite the stench, he likes smelling them, sometimes even his shoes!"

"Lately, with the year-end company performance rush, he has been working overtime and often stays up late, which caused his immune system to weaken. As a result, he contracted a fungal infection from athlete’s foot, leading to pneumonia!"

"This is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a case!"

"Should the diagnosis include something like: athlete’s foot pneumonia?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the office went silent for a moment, then everyone burst into laughter!

Indeed, there’s a new oddity every day, and all kinds of people exist.

Athlete’s foot causing pneumonia?

At that moment, Chen Bingsheng chuckled and shook his head, "A few days ago, I admitted a patient, an eight-year-old girl who had been having stomach pains for a while, but her family didn’t take it seriously until one night when the pain became severe, and she was urgently brought to the outpatient clinic.

At first, I didn’t think much of it; after all, she’s just a kid, what could it be!"

But after looking for quite some time, we couldn’t find the problem, so I had her undergo a barium meal X-ray, and the results shocked me. Guess what?"

Shi Na spoke up immediately, "Don’t play coy, just tell us the result!"

Old Chen took a deep breath, "The barium meal X-ray showed a large foreign mass in her stomach. I hurriedly took her to the endoscopy room for a gastroscopy. Guess what it was?"

"It was a big ball of long hair!"

At that revelation, everyone around was stunned.

"What do you mean, Old Chen?" Shi Na asked, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Nurse Chang Lina was also wide-eyed, "Teacher Chen, a perfectly humorous segment has taken a creepy turn. How did hair grow in her stomach?"

Chen Bingsheng shook his head, "Grow hair! Hair can’t grow once it leaves the follicle, let alone in the stomach!"

"This little girl has a classic case of pica! She likes to eat hair and has been doing so sneakily for a year or two without her family knowing. It might be due to a long-term lack of trace elements, or perhaps a taste bud synthesis disorder!"

Chang Lina listened, feeling a tingling sensation on her scalp, "What happened afterward?"

Chen Bingsheng couldn’t help but say, "This kind of hair can’t be digested in the stomach. Moreover, it prevents the digestion of food, and if it continues to develop, it could even turn into the reinforcement of a bezoar!"

"The mass of hair was too messy; it was impossible to remove it through the gastroscope, and the weak foreign body forceps couldn’t extract hair that was even harder than stones."

"Therefore, the only solution was to operate immediately. When I opened her up, I was truly taken aback by the large pile of hair!"

After hearing that, everyone sighed.

Indeed, all kinds of people exist!

Those who eat hair, those who smell athlete’s foot...

With such a vast world, there’s no end to the oddities. Spending enough time in emergency medicine, you really do see all sorts of diseases and peculiar people!

p.s.: Thanks to "The Girl Riding a White Horse" for the 10,000 rewards. Thank you, boss, for becoming another helmsman of this book.

And thank you all for your support.

I’d like to say a few words here, about the recent panic over a certain virus.

What I want to say is, everyone should not give in to excessive panic and chaos. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, wash your hands frequently, wear a mask when you go out, and it doesn’t need to be too expensive—ordinary medical masks are fine, disposable ones that you won’t regret throwing away.

And finally, the most crucial point is to maintain a healthy body and improve immunity. Get rest early and avoid staying up late. As traditional Chinese medicine says, "When the righteous Qi is inside, the evil cannot disturb."
