Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 91: Clues

Walking out of the ICU, Zhao Heng felt heavy-hearted. He really didn’t want to see a doctor as excellent as Wen Shen potentially fall into despair because of this incident.

Even upon returning to his office, Zhao Heng was still affected by this mood.

"Don’t think too much. Experts from the hospital’s relevant departnts are already consulting on the case."

Seeing Zhao Heng’s unhappy expression, Xu Man Ni couldn’t help but comfort him.

She knew that the situation Wen Shen was facing was the last thing Zhao Heng wanted to see.

Being anesthesiologists themselves, who could guarantee that such a thing wouldn’t happen to them in the future?

"What exactly does this influencer do?"

Zhao Heng thought for a mont and suddenly asked Xu Man Ni.

All the necessary consultations and tests had been conducted by experts from various departnts. Zhao Heng didn’t think his skill level would exceed that of a multidisciplinary team consultation.

If that’s the case, it might be beneficial to learn more from other aspects; perhaps there would be unexpected gains.

In clinical practice, many infectious diseases, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, are related to the patient’s life trajectory.

Zhao Heng didn’t know much about influencer entertainnt and had to turn to the surfing enthusiast Xu Man Ni for help.

"Let take a look."

Xu Man Ni nodded, took out her phone, and started searching.

After a while, Xu Man Ni handed the phone to Zhao Heng, softly saying, "This influencer is called Wanwan. I’ve found her Weibo. Take a look."

"Okay."

Zhao Heng took the phone and started reading.

However, after looking for a while, besides seeing this female influencer posing in various seductive ways and flaunting luxury bags to show off wealth, he didn’t notice anything significant.

But Zhao Heng wasn’t one to give up easily. He thought for a mont and said to Xu Man Ni, "I rember that when posting on Weibo, there usually is a location tag. Why can’t I see it?"

"You an the location tag? I turned it off."

Xu Man Ni thought for a mont and said.

"I’ll turn it on for you."

With a pause, Xu Man Ni leaned over, swiped to the phone settings, and turned the location on.

Zhao Heng nodded and started carefully examining the Weibo of this influencer nad Wanwan.

Suddenly, when he scrolled to a post from a month ago, Zhao Heng’s finger stopped.

Because he noticed that this post featured travel photos with a location tag set in Dali. In the photo, the female influencer was holding a bowl of local cuisine and smiling happily.

Seeing Zhao Heng stop scrolling, Xu Man Ni curiously leaned over to take a look.

"Dali? What’s wrong with that? What is she holding?"

Xu Man Ni asked in confusion.

"Look at the background in the photo; it seems to be in an eco-friendly farm."

Zhao Heng said.

"Eco-friendly? Farm?"

Xu Man Ni fell into deep thought; what Zhao Heng said must have indicated sothing suspicious.

"I rember there’s a kind of eco-friendly snack in Dali that’s quite famous."

Zhao Heng continued.

"Are you talking about raw skin?"

As soone who usually enjoys traveling, Xu Man Ni had been to Dali before, and with Zhao Heng’s reminder, she imdiately thought of it.

This raw skin is a traditional Bai ethnic dish in Dali, typically eaten during festivals and small gatherings.

The most authentic way to eat it is raw pork, without any cooked processing.

After the pig is slaughtered, pine branches are used to singe the pig’s skin, removing all hair, then it’s eaten directly with a special sauce.

According to those who have tasted it, the most authentic raw skin eaten with special sauce doesn’t have the usual fishy taste of raw pork slices but gives an unprecedentedly tender and delicious flavor with a mouthful of aroma.

"I rember in Dali they eat raw skin, but not just any pig can be used for it. When I traveled there, locals said that ’Mi Sha pigs,’ known for having pork tapeworms, were not used for raw skin."

Xu Man Ni thought for a mont and added.

This pork, especially raw pork, poses the biggest problem due to pork tapeworms. Eating it raw allows the eggs to enter the human body through the mouth, circulating through the bloodstream, and parasitizing various organs and parts of the body.

The Bai ethnic people in Dali naturally know this.

So, they have special thods to distinguish pigs with parasites, and pigs with parasites are not used for raw skin.

"If the pork tapeworm parasitizes in the brain, after anesthesia, the patient’s body is in a semi-hibernation state, the tapeworms beco active, and the patient’s allergic reaction due to the secretion from active tapeworms leads to cerebral edema. It all makes sense."

Zhao Heng continued speaking.

Where the influencer traveled or what snacks she ate have nothing to do with him, and he doesn’t care.

The most important thing now is that if it’s confird the patient has pork tapeworms in the brain, detecting secretions from active tapeworms can identify the cause of brain edema, clearing Wen Shen’s na.

"What do you plan to do?"

Xu Man Ni couldn’t help but ask.

Because the patient is a sowhat famous influencer, the public opinion about this incident is quite fierce and highly trending; a mishandling could lead to severe consequences.

From the bottom of her heart, Xu Man Ni didn’t like Zhao Heng getting involved in these matters, as it was akin to inviting trouble.

"Whether it is or not, a DNA dot blot test will let us know."

Zhao Heng replied.

To detect pork tapeworm in the human body, generally, several thods can be used, including blood analysis, egg inspection, head segnt examination, immunological examinations, and molecular biology tests.

Among all these testing thods, the one with the highest specificity and authority is undoubtedly the molecular biology test.

This DNA dot blot thod can be used to detect tapeworm eggs. In recent years, polyrase chain reaction (PCR) can amplify specific DNA sequences of eggs or worms in the human body to detect the presence of pork tapeworms.

"That’s right."

Xu Man Ni nodded; she realized she was overthinking the situation.

Zhao Heng found a possible cause of the patient’s cerebral edema. Once this cause is verified, Wen Shen can be cleared of serious dical malpractice suspicion, which is the most crucial now.

As for the rest, it has nothing to do with Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni.

At this mont, Gao Jun walked into the office from outside.

However, he didn’t look well. The hospital’s board had just talked to him, primarily to control the situation with Wen Shen.

Moreover, the influencer’s side was becoming increasingly aggressive. If they couldn’t find the real cause of the cerebral edema soon, Wen Shen’s situation could end up being disastrous.

"Teacher, I’ve found a possible cause for the patient’s cerebral edema."

Seeing Gao Jun enter, Zhao Heng didn’t keep it under wraps and spoke directly.

"Oh? You found it? Tell quickly!"

Gao Jun, who was just annoyed, perked up at Zhao Heng’s words, feeling imdiately excited.
