"Start the auxiliary diagnostic function!"
After a burst of invisible scanning energy waves, a virtual golden panel popped up in Zhou Qiao's mind:
[Patient Christie Lavelle’s condition is: Cushing’s syndrome caused by pituitary microadenoma! 】
[After diagnosis, 5 medical points will be deducted! The balance of the host's Yi Xuan point account: 128 points. 】
The system’s auxiliary diagnosis function deducts different medical points each time because it is determined based on the difficulty of diagnosing the disease!
Zhou Qiao thought, indeed, it is Cushing's syndrome!
Moon face, buffalo back, central obesity, wide purple lines, irregular menstruation, edema of legs and feet...
These are the typical features of Cushing's syndrome!
When Zhou Qiao was in college, he had seen a description of this disease in a famous book, so it was not surprising that he relied on his own ability to diagnose Cushing's syndrome.
As for the cause of the disease not being diagnosed, it was not because he was not skilled enough, but because further examinations were not arranged.
Zhou Qiao returned to the computer, opened Google Translate, and looked up how to express Cushing's syndrome in English. After all, this is a professional vocabulary. For a while he couldn't remember how to spell it. Understandable.
The system is a Chinese system, adapted according to his native language.
It may be possible to switch the language, but Zhou Qiao feels that Chinese is more pleasant and convenient to listen to. He didn't want to stay abroad for too long and end up not being able to speak Chinese smoothly.
The process just now is a long story, in fact it only took a few seconds. Zhou Qiao looked up the spelling of the word, and then said to Christie: "You are not ordinary obese, nor are you suffering from endocrine disorders or depression. , but a condition called Cushing’s syndrome.”
"Cushing's syndrome? What is that?" Christie was shocked! Confused!
She originally just wanted to come here and have a simple gastric resection surgery like Felipe's. How could she have expected that she would be diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome? What a pity, she has never heard of it!
"Dr. Zhou, is it serious?" Christie said very worriedly.
Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "This is just my preliminary diagnosis result, but it is very close to ten. As for the specific cause, further examination is needed to know. But don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"When the results come out, I will explain it to you in detail and formulate a suitable treatment plan. I can always help you solve it satisfactorily. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay, thank you Dr. Zhou." Christie actually admired Zhou Qiao very much. After all, after a series of operations, she showed her professionalism and had already impressed her.
So Zhou Qiao arranged a check-up for her.
24-hour urine free cortisol measurement, blood cortisol measurement and circadian rhythm changes, blood adrenocorticotropic hormone measurement, blood electrolytes and blood gas analysis, standard low-dose dexamethasone suppression test, head MRI...
With such a long list in hand, Christie headed to the testing center in panic. She was confused, confused, and anxious...
After all, it was completely beyond her plan and unexpected.
…
In the clinic, Zhou Qiao quickly gained master-level knowledge and surgical skills on Cushing's syndrome and pituitary microadenoma!
It cost 25 medical points! Account balance: 103 points!
When Christie first came here, she introduced herself and told Zhou Qiao that she was a friend of Felipe and Taylor, from the same community, and came here after their recommendation.
Because it was recommended by an acquaintance, and Zhou Qiao helped her find out the symptoms, Zhou Qiao was quite sure that Christie would probably treat her here!
Even if he doesn't get treatment here, it doesn't matter. The skills he redeemed will not disappear, but will only enhance his medical background!
In just a few dozen seconds, these knowledge and surgical skills are imprinted on the mind and body muscle instincts, and Zhou Qiao's vast medical ocean has been broadened!
He called Murphy over, looked at the cold-faced girl and said, "There's good news, you're about to undergo your third surgery!"
"Ah?" Murphy was shocked, why so fast?
Moreover, the frequency of surgeries at Iris Clinic is a bit high! In the past, even Professor Eric Parsont rarely performed so many difficult surgeries in a row!
She knew that if it was a minor surgery, Zhou Qiao would not inform her with "good news"!
Zhou Qiao waved to Murphy to sit next to him and said, "I just received a patient named Christie. It is most likely Cushing's syndrome caused by pituitary microadenoma. I have already gone for a checkup. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, I will It is estimated that this tumor needs to be surgically removed! Well, you will be the one to do the surgery!"
"Ah?" Murphy was slightly stunned, opened his mouth, and said hesitantly, "Pituitary microadenoma? This belongs to the category of neurosurgery, right? Can I really do it?"
The girl who looked cold on the outside was in a state of turmoil, wondering why Dr. Zhou's path was so wild. Such a big span? How come he knows all kinds of specialized surgeries? And you dare to accept it? !
Oh my God! This is simply more powerful than Professor Eric Parsont! No wonder Professor Pasent suggested that I come here to study with Zhou Qiao? !
Presumably, Professor Parsont is as surprised as me!
She felt that she had met a good mentor again!
What she has learned from Zhou Qiao these days is not something that any other hospital can give her!
She's right! Maybe the gears of fate began to rotate slowly from the day Professor Parsant showed her the video of Zhou Qiao's surgery!
Sure enough, Zhou Qiao said: "Do it, you can do it, of course you can do it!"
Murphy: "..."
"Come on, let me first explain to you the theoretical knowledge of this disease, and then take you to the operating room and teach you a technique step by step!" Zhou Qiao said.
"Okay, Joe." Murphy nodded slightly.
To be honest, she has mostly been self-taught since she was a child. No one has ever taught her so carefully and considerately. Not even Professor Parsont!
Zhou Qiaoxin said that Murphy's hands were really slippery.
Due to the blessing of favorability and the admiration for Zhou Qiao in his heart, Murphy did not resist Zhou Qiao's inadvertent "smoothing", but felt a faint feeling of electric shock and heartbeat.
One is a systematic "initiation", the peak level of a master; one is a 19-year-old doctor of medicine, a genius girl; one teaches seriously, and the other learns with heart.
Before lunch started, the system determined that Murphy's pituitary microadenoma surgery skills had reached the beginning level of expertise and he could perform the surgery!
When Christie's examination report came out, sure enough, his blood cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone indicators were much higher than normal levels, and the cortisol secretion rhythm in a normal person should be highest in the morning, gradually decrease, and even lower in the evening. However, Christie's cortisol secretion was almost a straight line with no variation.
At the same time, the MRI report of his head showed abnormal changes in his pituitary gland. It showed that the patient's tumor was located in the sellar area, with a diameter of about 0.485cm. The tumor was round in shape and had clear borders.
