Chapter 193: One hundred ninety-three, test Chapter 193: One hundred ninety-three, test Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, “Uncle Guo! Uncle Jiang!” Without guessing, the other person must be Jiang Tao, who visited grandfather yesterday.
“How do you know who I am?” Jiang Tao looked at Song Yan Ning in surprise. The child was too smart, but she really didn’t seem like someone who could practice medicine.
“I guessed.” Song Yan Ning smiled.
Guo Zhenjiang sized up Song Yan Ning. His first impression of her had been quite good. He had originally thought that Song Yan Ning was an arrogant child, but now it seemed he had been biased from the start.
“Xiao Ning, we need to stop by Dean Li’s office first. The hospital has its protocols, and you must pass Dean Li’s assessment before you can enter the surgical room. Do you understand?” Guo Zhenjiang looked at Song Yan Ning and asked. He was actually curious to see whether Song Yan Ning could clear this hurdle set by the dean. Fortunately, there was still one hour until the surgery, so he was not in a hurry to enter the surgical room.
“Mm.” Song Yan Ning nodded. She had already guessed things wouldn’t be so simple, but she wasn’t afraid of any assessment.
Following Guo Zhenjiang and Jiang Tao to the dean’s office.
At this moment, apart from Dean Li, the vice-dean was also present. He had rushed over to see the spectacle, and of course, he wanted to see how much medical knowledge a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child could master.
Dean Li and the vice-dean were also taken aback upon seeing Song Yan Ning. This child was really beautiful!
“Little friend, do you know why we’ve called you here?” Dean Li asked with a smile, looking at Song Yan Ning, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible. He didn’t want to scare such a beautiful child.
“Mm.” Song Yan Ning nodded.
“Then let’s start now, shall we? Here are two medical cases; take a look at them first.” Dean Li picked up two medical cases he had prepared earlier from the desk and handed them to Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning took them and looked at each case, “Based solely on the cases, both are issues with the gastrointestinal tract. This patient, from what the case shows, I preliminarily judge to have chronic gastritis, and the condition of this patient is relatively bad. Further examination is needed to determine whether he is positive or negative.”
Dean Li looked at Song Yan Ning approvingly and nodded with satisfaction, “The little lady is quite impressive.” Being able to determine the conditions of two case patients in such a short time showed she indeed had some ability. But this wasn’t enough; he had prepared another test. Of course, if Song Yan Ning couldn’t even pass the first hurdle, then there was no need for the second test.
Song Yan Ning smiled faintly, without any trace of arrogance or pride on her face, as if this was just a trivial matter for her.
Guo Zhenjiang and Jiang Tao exchanged glances, both showing a trace of shock in their eyes. Even they couldn’t have determined the conditions of the two case patients in such a short time, yet Song Yan Ning had made her judgments at a glance. It appeared they had indeed underestimated her before.
“However, this is just the first test; there is a second one. If you pass, you can enter the surgical room,” Dean Li said with a chucklesome look at Song Yan Ning.
“Mm.” Song Yan Ning nodded.
Soon, a patient in a wheelchair was pushed in by a nurse.
“All you need to do is diagnose his illness,” said Dean Li, looking at Song Yan Ning, with a sly glint in his eyes. He didn’t believe that Song Yan Ning would be able to diagnose the patient’s illness.
Song Yan Ning glanced at the patient in the wheelchair, “He doesn’t have an illness.”
“What?” Guo Zhenjiang and Jiang Tao exclaimed in surprise, turning their gaze to the man in the wheelchair, whose face was pale and whose body looked weak as he slumped in the wheelchair. How could he possibly not have an illness?
“Are you sure?” Dean Li smiled at Song Yan Ning.
“I’m sure,” Song Yan Ning stated confidently.
“Don’t you want to check again?” The smile on Dean Li’s lips grew.
“No need!” Song Yan Ning shook her head.
Dean Li and the vice-dean burst into laughter, “Indeed, she is the granddaughter of the Master of Chinese Medicine, Yang Lisheng, truly surpassing her grandfather in talent.” Yang Lisheng, as a master of Chinese medicine, naturally began his diagnoses by observing the face, which in Chinese medicine is part of “looking, smelling, asking, and touching.” Song Yan Ning’s ability to tell at a glance that the patient was not ill showed she was not unskilled in medicine, but it remained to be seen what her practical experience was like.
Guo Zhenjiang and Jiang Tao finally understood the trick. The dean had fooled even them with his ruse. However, it also made it clearer that Song Yan Ning had some real ability; perhaps she would indeed bring them a surprise.
“Let’s go, we’ll head to the surgical room together,” said Dean Li, smiling at Song Yan Ning. He was keen to see if Song Yan Ning’s performance in the surgical room would be equally impressive.
The group changed into surgical gowns and completed their sterilization preparations before entering the surgical room.
Guo Zhenjiang handed the sterilized case file to Song Yan Ning, “Here is the patient’s case file, take a look.”
Song Yan Ning briefly scanned the case file, nodded, and handed it back to Guo Zhenjiang. In truth, she didn’t need to look at the case file; just seeing the patient was enough for her to know the patient’s condition. Her Divine Sense was far more accurate than any machine.
“Have you finished looking already?” Guo Zhenjiang looked at Song Yan Ning in astonishment. That was rather hasty, wasn’t it? He and Jiang Tao had poured over this case file time and again, discussing it at length.
Song Yan Ning nodded and looked towards the patient on the hospital bed, “The patient has been in a coma for three months?”
“Yes,” Guo Zhenjiang nodded.
“So, what do you need me to do?” Song Yan Ning had already scanned the patient with her Divine Sense – the cause was a cerebral hemorrhage induced by high blood pressure. With the current level of medical science, even if surgery were performed, the patient’s chances of waking were slim.
“I’ve heard that acupuncture is effective for cerebral hemorrhages caused by high blood pressure. It can significantly suppress the production of free radicals, elevate the activity of superoxide dismutase, reduce the lipid peroxidation reaction caused by free radicals, and lower the content of lipid peroxides, inhibiting the damage pathway of free radicals. Acupuncture can also significantly inhibit endothelin receptor mRNA expression, regulating the biological effects of endothelin, thus reducing cell damage and death. It can promote the expression of heat shock proteins, enhancing the protective role of nerve cells and thus treating hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure,” Guo Zhenjiang explained.
He had also researched quite a bit to learn that acupuncture could be effective for cerebral hemorrhages caused by high blood pressure, but after approaching several doctors who had made significant contributions in the field of Chinese medicine, all had rejected him. The reasons were that it was not yet certain whether acupuncture was effective for acute-phase patients of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, as they had not tried it and didn’t want to take the risk. Secondly, due to the patient’s status, they dared not take the risk.
