Chapter 560: Chapter 256: Treating Deafness—The Rascal Encounters a Violent Mom (Part 3)

Li Jingsheng measured the young man’s forehead temperature, 36.5 degrees, normal.

Then he reached out to feel the lump on the young man’s cheek, it was relatively soft, unlike a malignant tumor.

"Open your mouth, let me see."

Using a flashlight, he examined the left cheek area, which was obviously swollen and red.

No pus was present.

"How long has this lump been here?"

"About a month or so! At first, it hurt a bit, I thought it was just inflammation and ignored it. Later, a lump grew gradually and it didn’t go away for a long time, so I told my mom."

"You should have told me right away."

His mother started yelling at him again.

Educating children by frequently shouting angrily and threatening menacingly is really not good at all.

This only scares the child, making him less likely to talk about things next time.

Li Jingsheng examined him carefully again.

"Let’s get an X-ray to take a look first! If the problem isn’t too serious, you can choose to have surgery here or at another hospital."

When it came time to pay the examination fee, the father who hadn’t said a word settled the bill.

After an ultrasound was done, the tumor’s boundaries were clear and the diameter was relatively large.

Li Jingsheng felt confident he could complete this surgery.

It depends on whether the family and the patient agree.

"You’ll need surgery to remove this lump, the cost will be around two thousand. If you have the surgery at our clinic, you won’t need to be hospitalized, but you must follow the doctor’s advice."

It’s not considered major surgery.

It can be directly completed at the outpatient department.

If you go to a hospital that lacks inpatients, they might have the patient stay for surgery.

A major hospital would definitely do it directly in outpatient surgery.

"Is it really that expensive? I need to ask my mom for money. Doctor, is this oral cancer?"

The young man only asked this once inside the medical lab.

In front of his parents, he acted completely fearless.

As if he didn’t care about his health at all.

"It’s hard to say for sure right now, after the surgery, we’ll do a pathological biopsy and inform you once the results come out. You can also come to our clinic on the third day after the surgery to collect the biopsy results."

Li Jingsheng brought more business to the second hospital.

Pre-surgery biochemical tests can’t be done at his clinic for the time being.

Because it’s outpatient surgery, it’s not necessary to have a blood count.

They can only perform some small operations.

If he encounters patients needing surgery with high risk, he assesses whether pre-surgery checks are necessary and can opt to work with the community health station.

It’s nearby.

Just take the patient’s blood sample there.

"Since you’re worried it’s oral cancer, why are you still chewing betel nut?"

Li Jingsheng asked him.

"Betel nut and smoking, limitless power. In the streets, if you don’t offer cigarettes and betel nuts to people, who would pay attention to you? I didn’t like smoking or chewing betel nuts at first, but eventually, I got used to it. Now, I feel uncomfortable all over without chewing betel nut, like something is missing."

The young man was quite frank.

Li Jingsheng nodded, "Go discuss it with your parents and see what they think. Your lump is continuing to grow, so it’s best to operate soon. If it’s malignant and spreads to the lymph nodes or other organs, it will be difficult to clean it out."

He’s not trying to scare the young man.

The cheek and neck are adjacent.

Below the cheek there are densely packed lymph nodes, without timely surgery, metastasis is very likely.

"That person is not my father! He’s my stepfather!"

The young man remarked.

"Regardless, he’s still your elder. Go have a good discussion with them! I just saw it was your stepfather who paid for your examination fee."

Li Jingsheng finally understood why the young man’s father was silent.

Being a stepfather is tough!
