Chapter 704: Chapter 324: The Fourth Diagnostic Mode, Brain Disorder_3

"I checked, and they said they didn’t find any problems."

After speaking, the man took out previous examination records for Li Jingsheng to review.

There are many conditions that can cause temporary loss of consciousness, like epilepsy, nerve stimulation, Moyamoya disease, etc.

After looking at the patient’s head CT, indeed, there were no problems found.

"Didn’t you have an MRI done?"

"I asked a friend to do it privately, the kind without charges or scans. He looked at it and said there weren’t any issues."

The man replied.

Doctors at the hospital understand this kind of situation he mentioned.

Sometimes, when the doctor in charge of a test is an acquaintance or a good friend, you can indeed get a free examination.

No scans, no registration, just look at the results afterward.

Li Jingsheng had never enjoyed this treatment but had heard colleagues at the hospital mention it.

There was a nurse who had a good relationship with a doctor in the ultrasound department, they were classmates. When she got pregnant, that classmate helped her with the ultrasound exam.

Of course, that classmate was a female doctor.

Because during the first three months of pregnancy, the pregnancy sac is very small, and placing the probe on the belly makes it hard to detect.

It needs to be inserted from below to get a clear image.

If that nurse’s classmate were a male doctor, she definitely wouldn’t have saved the hundred yuan or so by asking a male classmate for this check.

This man had an MRI done through a contact, a freebie.

They didn’t find any problem either, which indicates either there is no intracranial pathology, or it’s something very hidden and hard to detect.

Ordinary second- and third-tier hospitals usually don’t have MRI machines.

After all, these machines are very expensive.

Moreover, smaller hospitals don’t have enough patients, even fewer needing an MRI.

At the cheapest, it costs several hundred yuan.

As of now, even at county-level hospitals, the least precise MRI still costs over six hundred yuan. The expensive ones cost two to three thousand per session, and require appointments, only top-tier hospitals have them.

This man’s friend is at least a doctor in a third-tier hospital’s MRI department.

No matter how poor the skill is, it won’t be that bad.

When helping friends review scans, they definitely do their best.

Li Jingsheng didn’t really have any doubts about the examination results.

"Do you have headaches now?"

Li Jingsheng asked him.

"The pain is always there, on and off. But it’s within a bearable range. Sometimes there’s a sudden excruciating pain, like someone is driving a spike into my head, that pain is really unbearable."

The man said.

"What line of work are you in?"

"I used to work in a major internet company, as an operations director. Later, because of my illness and the fact that they couldn’t diagnose it, they thought I was faking it, and advised me to leave. Now I’m basically unemployed."

Unexpectedly, this ordinary-looking man had worked at a major company.
