Chapter 1572: Chapter 1575: I… I’m Actually Cured! (Fifth Update)
Old Mr. Qin can’t drink alcohol.
Chen Cang said so!
Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and they also perford digestive tract reconstruction.
Chen Cang is taking precautions.
So Old Mr. Qin doesn’t dare to drink either.
But Old Li is happily having a small drink with Chen Cang.
Watching, Old Qin starts to drool.
The al lasted a full two hours, and the dishes were reheated once.
Old Mr. Qin was getting ready to leave, and Chen Cang was preparing to depart as well.
But at this mont, as Old Li also stood up to leave, he suddenly started to sway.
The guard saw this and quickly helped the elderly man to the side.
Carefully sitting him down.
Old Qin was taken aback, suddenly silent for a mont: “You… is your vertigo acting up again?”
Old Li kept his eyes shut, not uttering a sound, and said, “Don’t talk to , I’m dizzy, oh my… can’t open my eyes!”
“Feels awful!”
“No, let lie down. I feel like the world is spinning.”
The guard was used to this, knowing the old gentleman had vertigo, and was experienced in carefully helping him.
This situation wasn’t new or unusual.
This condition usually gets better after a bit of rest.
Normally, the occurrence doesn’t last more than 10 minutes.
Chen Cang slightly frowned: “What’s wrong with the old gentleman?”
Old Qin couldn’t help but say: “Vertigo, an old issue, flares up every now and then.”
“It’s nothing to worry about, this condition, I understand it, it’ll get better in a while!”
After hesitating for a mont, Chen Cang nodded.
But…
After seven or eight minutes, the old man’s dizziness seed to worsen.
“No, no! I’m dizzy to the point of nausea!”
Chen Cang quickly went over: “Here, let take a look at what’s going on?”
The guard hesitated.
After all, Chen Cang was a health physician.
At this point, Old Li was too dizzy to speak.
The guard beca a bit anxious.
Normally, by now, it would start to improve, but why wasn’t it getting better today?
And Old Mr. Qin also frowned slightly, telling the guard: “Let Professor Chen take a look!”
Only then did the guard nod.
And as Chen Cang went over and stood opposite Old Mr. Li, he told the guard: “Help steady him.”
The guard quickly nodded!
Chen Cang needed to determine the cause of the old man’s dizziness.
Generally, dizziness is classified into two types: central and peripheral.
If it’s central vertigo, it might be a bit more troubleso, mainly due to posterior circulation ischemia affecting the vestibular nerves that control direction and spatial sensation, leading to this type of vertigo.
In this case, Chen Cang has no way around it.
They must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
But…
If it’s a disease induced by peripheral vertigo, Chen Cang might have a way.
“Old Gentleman, can you hear ?”
Chen Cang asked as he walked over.
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft.
“I can… oh dear, what’s going on today?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang imdiately felt relieved!
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a vestibular disorder involving the semicircular canals, generally not affecting hearing.
Whereas central vertigo generally causes a decrease in hearing.
So, this news was good for Chen Cang.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is essentially an ear stone issue!
After the guard helped to stabilize the old gentleman, Chen Cang spoke to him.
“Old Gentleman, open your eyes; let see what’s going on.”
“No, no! Can’t open them; opening them makes unbearably dizzy!”
At this mont, this man, who had made waves in the military and political circles for decades, Old Mr. Li, had really given in!
Illness truly is sothing that makes everyone submit!
Seeing this, Chen Cang could only comfort him: “It’s okay, open your eyes, I’ll take one look, and it won’t be dizzy anymore!”
“Liar… so many people have said that, and none have cured !”
This remark made Chen Cang chuckle helplessly!
“I’m not just any ordinary person!” Chen Cang could only take an unconventional approach.
On the side, Old Mr. Qin was still a bit worried, but now he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Old Li, can’t you even open your eyes?”
“Don’t talk big, it’s not you who’s dizzy. Oh… it’s killing .”
At this mont, Chen Cang gave the guard a look.
He’s decided!
To use force!
Yes.
Seeing Chen Cang’s look, the guard’s heart skipped a beat.
This…
If he listened to Chen Cang, he might end up being shot by Old Mr. Li?
But, seeing General Qin winking at him.
Forget it…
Take a risk.
In the midst of speaking, the guard gritted his teeth and nodded at Chen Cang.
Chen Cang gave the sign for OK!
In the next mont, Chen Cang acted swiftly and precisely.
In the blink of an eye, he decisively opened the old gentleman’s eyelids.
The gentleman, who had been squeezing his eyes shut properly, suddenly felt them forced open, and then a face appeared before his eyes!
Old Mr. Li was suddenly furious!
The audacity…
How dare you touch my eyes.
However, at this mont, Chen Cang was keenly conducting a detailed and thorough assessnt of the old gentleman!
“The duration of the nystagmus is less than 1 minute! It’s canalithiasis!”
“Nystagmus… towards the ground, with more pronounced right side nystagmus, aning the right side is affected… in this case… it’s horizontal canalolithiasis.”
…
In Chen Cang’s eyes, it’s as if there’s a supercharged computer.
Rapidly utilizing all the limited resources.
After diagnosing, Chen Cang didn’t bother with the old man’s anger.
He imdiately began the procedure!
At this mont, as Chen Cang put on his perception gloves.
He was pleasantly surprised to find sothing astonishing!
He seed to be able to clearly sense the location of the ear stone with a four-dinsional view!
This involves a question!
What is canalithiasis?
Canalithiasis mainly results from otoconia falling into the semicircular canals. With head movents, the otoconia move, causing an imbalance in the inner lymphatic fluid, triggering vestibular activity in the affected semicircular canal, leading to positional vertigo and nystagmus, known as canalolithiasis.
The goal of treatnt is straightforward!
Of course, it’s easier said than done.
It’s about repositioning the displaced otoconia as much as possible.
This is the legendary canalith repositioning maneuver!
At this mont, Chen Cang turned the old gentleman’s head 45 degrees to the right side, then, without pausing, quickly laid the patient back, bringing his head to over twenty degrees on the horizontal plane!
At this point, he decisively pried open Old Mr. Li’s eyes. Once the nystagmus and dizziness subsided, he turned the patient’s head 90 degrees to the healthy side!
At this mont, Chen Cang clearly felt the otoconia shift to the vicinity of the common crus.
Job well done!
And just as the old gentleman was about to explode in anger.
After all, anyone would be a little upset if manhandled in such a way.
Not to ntion, this was a big shot.
The guard watched as the old gentleman stood up angrily, deadly staring.
Pointing at Chen Cang, ready to curse!
But Chen Cang was smiling and looking at the old gentleman.
As Old Mr. Li was about to curse pointing at Chen Cang, he suddenly froze!
“Hmm? I’m… not dizzy anymore!”
“I’m actually not dizzy!” the old gentleman exclaid in surprise.
Chen Cang smiled gently without saying a word!
…
