Rebirth of Medicine Practices the World

Chapter 163 Difficulties Are Not Difficulties

Lin Lin's judgment was correct. After the woman came in, she sat next to the consultation table. The man stood behind her and began to tell about his wife's condition.

"My wife is 51 years old. Since November last year, she has developed numbness on the left side of her face, which is very uncomfortable."

"I accompanied her to our local hospital many times for medical treatment, and also did a head CT examination. The examination results were normal. The local doctor believed that the numbness on her face was just a subjective symptom, a psychological disorder, and the body itself

, it’s not a serious problem.”

"They carried out treatment according to this diagnosis, but it had no effect. My wife's facial numbness became more and more serious, and we and the local doctors felt that there was nothing we could do. Later, after being introduced by a friend of hers, she came from Oil City to find Lin.

Dean, please take a look at it, Dean Lin."

The patient's husband explained the condition and the diagnosis and treatment process very clearly. After listening to this, Lin Lin did not dare to be careless and began to communicate with the patient.

As soon as she started asking, Lin Lin understood why it was the patient's husband who was telling the story. It turned out that they were farmers from a village near Youcheng, adjacent to Yingzhou, and they spoke the local dialect.

The patient could not understand Lin Lin's words, and Lin Lin could not understand what the patient was saying. Fortunately, the patient's husband worked in Oil City and knew Mandarin, so he could communicate smoothly with Lin Lin.

Lin Lin asked a few additional questions through the "translation" of the patient's husband, and then immediately entered the physical examination.

After a complete physical examination, Lin Lin found no positive signs in the patient.

However, the numbness on the face is obviously very painful for the patient. Based on Lin Lin’s decades of clinical experience, this is not the case with general functional symptoms and should not occur.

Thinking of this, Lin Lin once again read the CT scan she brought in detail, and still found no doubts. However, in Lin Lin's heart, she always felt that the patient's facial numbness was "supported" by organic lesions. In other words

In other words, there should be organic lesions in the corresponding parts of the patient's brain.

Thinking of this, Lin Lin suggested that the patient undergo a head MRI examination, and the patient readily agreed.

This morning was destined to be unusual. The patient had just taken the examination sheet issued by Lin Lin and went to the magnetic resonance room for examination. Then, a middle-aged woman walked in with the support of her husband.

It seemed that the patient was in pain. The patient's husband just opened his mouth and was about to describe his condition. The patient waved his hand and said in a weak voice: "I will tell you. I will tell you."

Although the patient was in pain, she felt that her illness must be explained clearly by her.

"Doctor, I am 48 years old. For the past six years or so, I have had a bursting headache. Each time it attacks, it usually occurs during or around menstruation. It also often occurs after lack of sleep or exposure to the sun."

"Each attack was very severe, and taking painkillers had no effect. Each time, I had to go to the hospital for a sedative injection and sleep for several hours before the headache got better."

"It's been six years, doctor. I've been suffering from this kind of pain for six years, and I've been going to our local hospital for six years. Even now, I still have frequent headaches. I'm on my period now, and my headaches are very severe."

"I can't bear this kind of pain anymore. I really want to hit the wall or jump off the building and die. Oops..." When the patient said this, she groaned again. It seemed that the pain had tortured her.

She was in agony.

Lin Lin specifically asked her about her menstrual period. She said that her menstruation was still normal, came on time, and had not decreased or stopped.

For more than six years, the patient had undergone many local examinations including magnetic resonance imaging, but no abnormality was found. A local hospital also diagnosed her with "migraine", but the treatment had no effect.

Lin Lin carefully looked through all the examination reports she had brought and looked at the fundus of her eyes carefully. She found that the veins under her eyes were more tortuous and the color was darker than normal.

After reading this, Lin Lin already knew the diagnosis and treatment plan for her disease.

"Your disease is indeed migraine diagnosed by the local hospital before, also called vascular headache. I will prescribe you a month's worth of medicine, and you take it for a month to see if there are any more attacks during this menstrual cycle."

Lin Lin gave her a prescription based on his decades of experience in treating this disease and the latest international research progress on this disease.

Seeing the patient's doubtful expression, Lin Lin knew what she was worried about. Because a doctor had diagnosed her with migraine before, but could not cure her.

"Don't worry. As soon as you get the medicine, you will find that the medicine I prescribe is different from others. Although I can't say it will definitely cure it, I am still confident. However, you must strictly follow the precautions I tell you.

Go ahead and implement the matters." After that, he also specifically explained various precautions to her.

"I'll leave my phone number with you. If you need anything, you can call me." In order to relieve the patient's doubts, Lin Lin told the patient his phone number.

When the patient heard what Lin Lin said, her brows relaxed, and accompanied by her husband, she left the consulting room. The next day, the patient called Lin Lin and told her that her headache had disappeared!

After several courses of treatment, the patient was completely cured and no longer had headaches. This patient later joined Lin Lin's "publicity team" and promoted Lin Lin's superb medical skills everywhere.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the patient with numb face came to Lin Lin's clinic with the results of the MRI examination.

Lin Lin took the MRI film, placed it on the reading light, and carefully observed the pontocerebellar angle. As expected by Lin Lin, a 1.5x1.0cm tumor was found at the pontocerebellar angle. Then she looked at the results in the MRI room.

The report I sent out clearly stated: Acoustic neuroma at the left cerebellopontine angle.

Fortunately, the tumor is a little far away from the pons and is not large. It is well wrapped and has clear edges. Theoretically, most such tumors are benign and can be easily removed at this location.

Lin Lin told the patient the results of the examination and his opinions. Although the patient was very nervous, he also felt very relieved because the cause of the disease was found and the cause could be solved through surgery.

Before they left, the couple held Lin Lin's hand and said, "Thank you! I finally found the cause of the disease. I will go back and arrange a time to go to the hospital for surgery. Dr. Lin, you are really a miracle doctor!"

Unsurprisingly, on this day, Lin Lin didn't get off work until almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning home, having something to eat, Lin Lin climbed into bed and fell asleep.

The next day, shortly after Lin Lin went to work, Han Jiguang knocked on his office door.

"Dean Lin, please sign." Han Jiguang was straightforward and had something to say.
