After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, the emergency physician found the test sheet on the computer, printed it out, and gave it to Zheng Ren.
Serum uric acid: 1016 μmol/l.
The normal reference value for children is lower, about 180-300 μmol/l. Normal values may vary depending on different testing machines, but values above 1000 μmol/l undoubtedly prove that children with high uric acid have high levels of uric acid.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the children's family members, Zheng Ren could only call them to the treatment room and tell them the cruel truth.
Ten minutes later, the child's parents hugged the child and left in despair.
Zheng Ren was very sure, but in the end he left a strange message.
This is only a preliminary diagnosis. If confirmed, you need to go to the Imperial Capital for genetic testing. Because the cost is too expensive, it is not recommended.
Doctors have strong authority to a certain extent in the hearts of patients and their families.
Maybe if you say this, your family will retain a glimmer of hope
Zheng Ren wasn't sure.
Although this hope was meaningless, he felt uncomfortable if he didn't say something.
After calming down, Zheng Ren walked out of the treatment room.
A middle-aged man who looked familiar but unfamiliar stopped Zheng Ren.
Looking familiar and unfamiliar, these two completely opposite emotions appear in others, which is a manifestation of division.
But when it appears in Zheng Ren, a terminally ill patient with face blindness, it is completely natural.
"Doctor Zheng!" the middle-aged man greeted with a smile and enthusiasm.
"Who are you?" Zheng Ren asked doubtfully.
"My surname is Qin." The man was a little embarrassed, but he covered it up well and said with a smile: "A while ago, Dr. Zheng, the dog house at No. 14, Wei'er Road, do you still remember?"
Uh... The golden retriever named Harry ate his sock and needs surgery.
Zheng Ren suddenly remembered, along with the beautiful owner of the Dog House... What was her name
forgotten.
"Hello, Mr. Qin." Zheng Ren had countless thoughts running through his mind, but he did not forget to say hello.
What is he here for? Did Harry have postoperative complications and come to see him? But judging from Mr. Qin's expression, it doesn't seem like it.
"My daughter has always said that she would bring Harry to thank you." Mr. Qin said: "But Harry is older and his recovery is slower... Well, your surgery was very good. There was no problem. It's just Harry is older."
Oh, that's right. The smile on Zheng Ren's face became more natural.
"Recently, Harry has been able to walk, run a few steps, and eats well. I originally thought about coming to see you, Dr. Zheng, on New Year's Day, but I couldn't help it. My daughter always said that if she had time today, she would come and see you. It’s up to you.”
"As long as you recover well."
"Dr. Zheng, do you have time?" Mr. Qin asked.
"how?"
"This is a hospital, and it's always inconvenient to bring Harry in. Many people don't like dogs, and it would be bad if they scare the children. My daughter and Harry are in the car. If you have time..."
Zheng Ren understood the blank part.
The little girl has already arrived. It seems appropriate to go out and take a look.
This should be regarded as a different kind of communication between doctors and postoperative patients. Although Harry is just a dog, the old one has lost its golden hair. But in the eyes of Mr. Qin and his daughter, Harry is family.
Following Mr. Qin, the two walked out of the emergency building.
It was warm as spring in the house, but the cold wind howled outside. Zheng Ren didn't feel too cold. His physical fitness had improved significantly recently, which was obvious.
As soon as I walked out of the emergency building, the back door of a car parked in front opened, and a yellow-and-white golden retriever jumped out of the car.
The dog is very old, and the color of its coat is no longer pure, with yellow and white mixed together.
It pounced directly on Zheng Ren, and Zheng Ren, whose tail was wagging, was worried that it would break if it continued like this.
Harry gasped, stuck out his tongue, and rubbed his head against Zheng Ren's trousers.
Mr. Qin was worried that Zheng Ren didn’t like dogs, so he quickly pulled Harry away.
Zheng Ren waved his hand and gently stroked the dog's head.
A little girl of 12 or 13 years old then jumped out of the car and stood next to Mr. Qin.
"This is the Dr. Zheng you have always wanted to see. It is the surgery he performed on Harry." Mr. Qin said.
The little girl then happily came up behind Harry and bowed politely to Zheng Ren deeply, "Dr. Zheng, thank you for operating on Harry."
Uh... This way of thanking... Zheng Ren has encountered it before, but it's just an operation on a dog. Is this how to express inner gratitude
maybe.
He was at a loss.
"Thanks to you, my dad didn't tell me about Harry's illness. He only told me after the operation was successful, but it was bad." The girl said coquettishly.
Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Dr. Zheng, thank you very much."
"It's okay." Zheng Ren said quickly.
Holding Harry's dog head in his hand, Zheng Ren felt that this old dog with impure coat seemed to know that he was its savior, so he was particularly kind to him.
Of course, it is also possible that this dog is familiar with itself and is generally friendly to everyone it sees.
It was very cold outside. After chatting for a few words, Mr. Qin was about to leave.
The little girl refused and insisted on taking photos with Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren smiled and agreed.
Mr. Qin took out his mobile phone, Zheng Ren half-crouched next to Harry, and the little girl stood on the other side of Harry, smiling innocently.
After taking the photo, Mr. Qin pushed the child and Harry into the car, and quickly returned to the lobby of the emergency building with Zheng Ren. He left Zheng Ren’s WeChat message and said that he would find a better photo and send it to him later. Then he expressed his gratitude again and turned to leave.
Zheng Ren looked through the transparent door and saw the little girl and Harry greeting him through the car window.
The little girl had a sincere smile on her pink face, and Harry's tongue licked the breath he had left on the car window, as if he wanted to remember Zheng Ren's appearance in his mind.
After waving his hand, Zheng Ren watched them leave, then turned and ran towards the emergency ward.
Zheng Ren walked very slowly, and the scarred face of the little patient with Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome gradually mixed with the innocent face of the little girl, and finally turned into nothingness.
When he walked to the emergency ward, Zheng Ren's mood had returned to calm.
He sat silently at his desk, turned off the computer monitor, then picked up "General Surgery" and continued reading.
Reading books in the system library will indeed increase skill points faster than reading "General Surgery", but the skill points will not be directly added to the general surgery skill tree.
On the day the system arrived, Zheng Ren still remembered the peak experience of undergoing combined pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Although it is unattainable, Zheng Ren still has obsession and hopes that one day he can stand in front of the operating table with his peak general surgery skills.
After reading for a while, Zheng Ren's phone rang again.
I picked it up and saw that it was Director Xia from the Department of Gastroenterology.
