"What did you say?" Su Yun thought he didn't hear clearly and asked immediately.
"Hey, Brother Yun, to be honest, I thought I was wrong." Zhou Litao said, "But this is the second re-examination, and I was worried about something else, so I left the phone numbers of both of them. .The rest...I don’t know what to do yet.”
Zheng Ren knew that this involved an ethical issue, just like the entanglement between the man and his wife just now. No matter how he judged it, it was wrong.
But doing nothing is even worse.
"Normally, you should report it and then talk to the patient's lover about it. Don't you know you have AIDS? This is unlikely," Su Yun said.
"Brother Yun, do you think the patient is in the window period, that is, the incubation period?"
"Undetectable AIDS is mainly in the window period of AIDS infection, that is, there is a window period of 2 to 4 weeks when the HIV virus coexists for the first time. Patients during the window period can become negative when tested for HIV antibodies. But you He said that woman is an old patient and has been here many times." Su Yun pondered.
"Yes, the first time I came here was about half a year ago. After that, I often felt weak and short of breath. I had all kinds of problems, and the symptoms were just like the symptoms of AIDS written in the book." Zhou Litao said strangely, "But people can't It's comfortable, so I definitely won't check directly. I suddenly thought of it, so I did the check."
"Is it possible that the woman already knew the matter but didn't want to expose it, so she kept pretending to be sick and kept hinting, asking the doctor to find her lover for examination?" Zheng Ren said with a frown.
"I'll go... Boss, your idea is too wild!" Su Yun said in surprise.
It was obvious that Zheng Ren's thoughts were too sinister. The point is... there really is a glimmer of possibility.
"It's possible." Zheng Ren said seriously.
"I would say there is no such possibility." Su Yundao said, "Think about it, in the eyes of ordinary people, AIDS is a terminal disease! You can't avoid it at all costs, but you can still live under the same roof every day? Why are you so big-hearted?"
"It may also be that she only has suspicions, but has no way to express them. Once these words are spoken, there is no turning back." Zheng Ren added.
"Tsk, tsk, it's almost time for a family ethics drama. What a coincidence, I say. A patient with autonomic nervous system disorder came to the hospital repeatedly for treatment. In the end, it was discovered that she was fine, but her lover happened to have AIDS."
"Well, this is indeed the most likely possibility." Zheng Ren did not argue with Su Yun. He thought that what Su Yun said made sense, so he directly overturned everything he said before, and then said, "Then there are some clues in life. She didn’t even realize it, and the psychological implications of this were lurking in her subconscious, so she was always leaning towards AIDS unintentionally.”
"It's possible. No matter what, the trouble will be Mr. Zhou's anyway." Su Yun said with a smile.
"I'll call the man later. I hope he won't collapse when he finds out." Zhou Litao said slightly sadly.
"Who knows, you just have to be careful anyway." Su Yundao said, "This is the time when you are most willing to have something happen. People are so desperate that they want to drag you to death. This kind of person is very common."
"Who knows." Zhou Litao suddenly remembered and asked, "I ordered a maxillary sinus CT scan on a patient with a nosebleed. Why?"
"There's something growing in the nose, and it's covered with mucous membrane. You can't see what it is. The boss guesses it's teeth growing in the nose. Do you think it's possible? Mr. Zhou?" Su Yun asked.
"Uh... I have read a report that teeth grow in the rectum." Zhou Litao said.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's because the dentures fell off and couldn't be excreted in the rectum." Su Yun scolded.
"I have also seen similar reports. One was published in a radiology journal. It said that during an examination, a tooth-like object was found on the toe, and it was later removed." Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.
"Yeah, yeah!" Zhou Litao nodded repeatedly, "I was seeing a British patient who suffered from frequent abdominal pain, so I did an examination and found a tooth in the rectum. The specific location was not described in detail in the paper. It’s the only one I’ve found. I think it might be a calcified growth?”
"It's all possible. It's unlikely that they are real teeth, because there are no more cases showing that they are teeth." Zheng Rendao, "In fact, it should be true that teeth grow in the nose, ears, and eyes. Teeth in other positions are all It doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.”
"Is the tooth germ in situ incorrect? Is the tooth germ too far away from the eruption point or in an abnormal position? To put it simply, don't make it so complicated." Su Yundao said, "It is basically caused by genetic factors or endocrine disorders, trauma, and local infection. But Boss, you took one look and said it was an impacted tooth through the mucous membrane, I can’t understand this.”
"It's just a guess. You made bold assumptions, be careful to verify them. I can't speak cautiously, and I can't speak casually. What on earth do you want?!" Zheng Ren asked.
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and was also amused by the weird logic.
"A few years ago, there was a CT scan in the group. The impacted tooth had grown to the edge of the right eye socket. If one were not careful when extracting the tooth, it would directly lead to blindness." Su Yun changed the topic very quickly, and he immediately started to talk about the case, "This is This is the first case of ectopic teeth that I have seen. As for the nose and ears, I have never seen it.”
"It's amazing to see one case with your own eyes. I've never seen one, and there are very few similar reports in magazines."
"The teeth in the ear canal are probably similar to those in the eye socket." Zheng Ren said, "The principle is the same. There is no explanation."
As he said that, Su Yun's cell phone rang. The doctor in the CT room opened it and said that the patient had completed the examination and the image data had been uploaded.
Su Yun immediately turned on the computer and found the film of the patient who just had a nosebleed.
Sure enough, the supernumerary teeth in the maxillary incisal canal grow in the nasal cavity in the recumbent position. The length is about 2cm, this guy is quite long!
Watching the film, Zheng Ren knew that Big Pig Hoof was right again. The things growing in his nose are indeed teeth. No wonder he often has nosebleeds and nose pain.
"When the patient comes back, let him go to the hospital for dental treatment. At least a minor operation is required. 2cm, how many strokes of the chisel will it take? Boss, do you think this is a tooth extraction? What are the charges?" Su Yun clicked his tongue.
"If you want to remove it completely, you need general anesthesia and hospitalization. The operation is difficult, but not great." Zheng Ren had already simulated the operation in his mind.
There is no system reward for this kind of minor surgery, and Zheng Ren is not willing to waste surgical training time. For the dental surgeon, it may be a little troublesome, but it will never be impossible to pull it out.
