Doctor: It's reasonable to perform surgery on yourself.

very young.

Moreover, she has outstanding appearance, fashionable dress, and long legs. When she walks in, she is gentle and gentle, with a scent of fragrance.

"Wen Long, twenty-two years old."

The patient's information is recorded on the registration system.

After Wen Long sat down, before she could speak, a phone call came in.

She smiled skillfully and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Guang, I'm at the hospital. I still have about half an hour to go to your place. Please remember to come to the hospital to pick me up. I haven't seen you for a long time~~"

After hanging up the phone, Wen Long smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, doctor, I wasted your time."

Xu Qiu: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Just as Wen Long was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang again.

She glanced at it and quickly picked up: "Brother Jie, didn't I tell you that I can't find you until an hour later? Just take a shower and wait for me over there! Don't be in a hurry, I'll finish it quickly. Just take care of what’s at hand!”

Xu Qiu was stunned for a moment.

He noticed that while Wen Long was speaking, he took out a round cake-shaped thing from the exquisite small bag and bit it gently.

Not pie.

But... clods of dirt!

Xu Qiu realized that the woman in front of her might have pica.

This is a rare disease with high public awareness. As the name suggests, patients like to eat strange things.

Such as soil, iron blocks, wall coverings, etc.

These are actually normal pica patients.

After working as a doctor for a long time, you may even encounter someone who likes to drink sulfuric acid, the touch that melts the mouth and esophagus, and the smell of blood...

At this time, Xu Qiu wrote down the preliminary diagnosis.

Pica.

Wen Long finished answering the second call and was about to speak when the phone rang again.

She stood up and said, "Doctor, I'm sorry, I'm going to take care of some personal matters. I won't disturb you to see the next patient..."

Xu Qiu stopped her, "Sit down and stay out of the way."

Wen Long was stunned, sat down obediently, and picked up the phone again.

"Brother Long? I'm only free at two o'clock. I can't do it at night. I also have tasks to do at the guild in the evening. Can you do it this afternoon? I'll make up for you all night later."

Xu Qiu continued to observe.

Even though Wen Long was wearing makeup, she could still see the malaise in her eyes and her mental state was not good.

My hair has been carefully cared for, but some of the ends are still rough and frizzy.

In addition, her belly is slightly bulging.

Excluding pregnancy, it is most likely caused by long-term constipation or... obstruction.

Judging from these performances——

Iron deficiency anemia?

Parasite?

Or...vitamin deficiency?

These primary diseases can all cause pica, and all of them can present Wenlong's current symptoms.

in.

The most likely possibility is iron deficiency anemia.

Clinically, about 70% of patients with pica are related to a lack of trace elements.

For example, in iron deficiency anemia, due to the lack of iron, the patient's body metabolism is disordered, and the sense of smell and taste are abnormal, which leads to abnormal eating behavior.

Another common cause is zinc deficiency.

Zinc deficiency has a greater impact than iron deficiency and is a key element in the production of gustatory hormones.

Gustiferin is an important element in the structure, function and metabolism of oral mucosal epithelial cells. Once lacking, it will cause the oral mucosal epithelial cells to be extremely fragile and easy to fall off, which will then cause the taste buds to be blocked, leading to loss of taste and even taste disorders.

Right now, the first consideration for Wen Long should be the lack of trace elements.

After Xu Qiu finished his analysis, Wen Long finally made the last call.

"I'm sorry, Brother Sheng, I just took a few calls from work. Don't worry, I'll come find you as soon as I finish my work in the afternoon. Let's go to a movie tonight - go to a private cinema? Then... that's good Well, because you are so good to me, I agree!"

After hanging up, Wen Long breathed a long sigh of relief.

"sorry."

Wen Long stood up and bowed, then said: "Doctor, my illness..."

Xu Qiu interrupted her: "After reading it, let's go for a check-up."

"Um???"

Wen Long's almond-shaped eyes widened, a little incredulous: "I...I haven't spoken yet!"

"Pica, indigestion, lack of energy, palpitations and panic, inability to concentrate... besides these, is there anything else?"

Wen Long opened his mouth with a shocked expression: "No, no more."

This, this, what is going on...

She came in and made a few phone calls, and the doctor saw through her completely?

What kind of doctor is this? This is a fortune teller!

"I remembered, you are Doctor Xu!" Wen Long suddenly became excited.

This face is unmistakable.

Except for Xu Qiu, everyone in Linhai No. 1 Hospital is ugly.

"Doctor Xu, I'm not actually doing that... I'm a small anchor. I have no choice but to accompany these big brothers in the guild."

Xu Qiu is indifferent to this. He only sees patients and non-patients.

Wen Long: "Actually, I used to despise such people. But since I became a host and did these things, I realized that I can no longer despise serious work, because it is too slow to make money.

I need a lot of money. I want to study abroad and see the bigger world! "

Hearing this, Xu Qiu asked, "Study abroad?"

"Well, don't look at me like this, actually I am a graduate student.

The country where I want to study requires a lot of money, and my family can't help me, so I have to make money this way. "

Xu Qiu nodded and handed the examination form to Wen Long, "Get well soon, and then we can talk about other things."

…

After sending Wen Long away, Xu Qiu saw patients until noon, and ended the morning clinic.

There was a meeting at noon.

It was the monthly meeting of the neurosurgery department.

On weekdays, Xu Qiu would not participate in the operation and teaching of the neurosurgery talent base.

He had already left a set of detailed teaching materials, step-by-step explanation videos, etc., and personally trained Director Lin and others in the neurosurgery department.

Therefore, each director usually takes the interns to study.

Xu Qiu would only show up in the monthly summary.

While correcting the mistakes in the work direction of the past month, it also gave the direction for the future.

After the meeting, Xu Qiu ate a few bites of lunch, and the operating room and the inpatient department called again.

He hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food and got busy again.

The original nap time passed just like that.

The surgery was in the afternoon.

It was not until the next morning that Wen Long came back for a follow-up visit with the test results that came out yesterday afternoon.

The blood picture showed mild anemia.

This is consistent with the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia.

However, more direct tests such as serum ferritin and serum iron are all within the normal range.

This means that Wen Long does not have iron deficiency anemia!

Otherwise, these two items would have decreased significantly.

Serum zinc is also normal.

And the routine stool test also showed no parasite eggs.

Seeing these "healthy" reports, Xu Qiu was a little overwhelmed.

For someone like Wen Long who looks sick, every additional normal indicator means that the diagnosis of this disease is more difficult.

This pica is really not that simple.

There is another mystery!

He was just about to give Wen Long a detailed examination.

As soon as his eyes moved from the computer to the patient, Xu Qiu saw a terrifying scene.
