Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607: Chapter 278: Rose to First Place, Prolonged Diarrhea (Part 3)

Now, please look at the third question. Since the examination, testing, and diagnosis of digestive tract diseases are very time-consuming, combined with the judging committee’s desire to reduce the occurrence of safety incidents, this question will mainly be answered in writing."

To put it simply, it’s using an already diagnosed case to have participants make a diagnosis and provide a treatment plan based on the condition.

The organizers consider that on-site diagnosis would be time-infeasible, and besides, the Bone Setting skill in the morning nearly resulted in a big accident, which made the leaders quite apprehensive.

Almost all leaders share a common trait: they are very cautious with matters involving responsibility.

If avoidance is possible, then avoid it.

This is also why getting company or unit leaders to handle tasks can be very difficult.

Inaction is often considered better than having issues arise.

This is the mindset of most leaders.

The difficulty of the first two questions wasn’t high.

The difficulty of the last question will undoubtedly increase significantly.

As soon as the host’s words fell, the question appeared on the large screen.

Patient, male, 37 years old, suffering from diarrhea and abdominal distension for nearly half a year, and only recently admitted for treatment.

Upon admission, he was extremely emaciated and unable to get out of bed on his own.

This is frightening indeed, suffering from diarrhea for half a year without hospital treatment, wasting away to the point of being unable to get out of bed and only then sent for medical care.

Long-term diarrhea like this is akin to a frog in boiling water.

Initially, it seemed insignificant; after all, aside from diarrhea, there was no other discomfort.

However, prolonged diarrhea leads to nutrient loss and poor nutrient absorption.

It’s like a tree that, when lacking nutrients for a long time, slowly turns yellow, roots decay, eventually leading to death.

After inquiring, the admitting doctor learned that the patient was working hard alone in a super-tier city in the south, constantly experiencing diarrhea due to work stress and irregular routine.

The patient has an introverted personality, is not good at conversation, and coupled with poor economic income, has been unable to find a girlfriend.

Later, when the diarrhea lasted for over four months, his body became overly emaciated, leading to symptoms like fatigue, muscle atrophy, and mental exhaustion, eventually getting him laid off.

He subsequently lived alone in a rented room and stopped looking for work.

Until a former female colleague from the company heard he hadn’t been up for over a month, she visited him, found him bedridden, and immediately sent him to the hospital for treatment.

This male patient must have accumulated great virtue in a previous life to encounter such a kind-hearted female colleague.

Or perhaps the female colleague had a fondness for him.

Otherwise, after resignation, people mostly drift apart, with little contact.

Upon examination, doctors found the patient was extremely emaciated, presenting as cachectic, with generalized muscle atrophy, but no anomalies in heart, lungs, or abdomen.

The patient was having bowel movements seven to eight times a day, with large quantities and a foul odor.

Stool examination showed no red or white blood cells, and the hidden blood test was negative.

No parasites or ova were found in the stool.
