Chapter 797: Eye of the Storm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What illness?” Wang Dong’s mother was stunned.
Was he really sick? Or was it something…something that he did not remember.
It could not be. Wang Dong was complaining of pain every day, and his whole body was uncomfortable. However, nothing happened to him. He did not even have a cold or fever. He should just eat and drink.
Impossible!
Impossible..,
“Boss, is Fabry disease caused by the congenital deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A in the patient’s body?” After listening to Zheng Ren’s words, Su Yun also realized something. He carefully looked at the keratoma on Little Wang Dong’s ear and thought hard.
This kind of disease was very rare. If Su Yun was not well-read and knowledgeable, few people would know about it.
However, Su Yun read books for the sake of bragging at the table. He did not expect to meet such a patient one day.
“Yes, there is a blood vessel keratoma on the ear. This is a mid-term performance. I guess if we do a physical examination, we can see the turbid vortex cornea in the eyes.” Zheng Ren looked at Wang Dong’s mother and asked patiently, “Can I take a look at Wang Dong’s eyes?”
Seeing Zheng Ren’s serious face, Wang Dong’s mother still believed him even though there were some yellowed bruises on his face and it looked funny.
It was just a look at the eyes. It was broad daylight and clear skies. What was there to be afraid of?
She nodded and placed her hands on Wang Dong’s shoulders. She could use force at any time to pull the child into her arms.
Zheng Ren smiled and said, “Little Brother, don’t be nervous. I’ll just flip your eyelids.”
Su Yun was also curious. He recalled that the typical characteristic of Fabry disease was the turbid vortex cornea in the eyes.
One look was 80% sure of the diagnosis.
He came in and saw Zheng Ren reach out and gently lift Wang Dong’s eyelids. In just a moment, he put it down.
Before Wang Dong could react, and before Wang Dong’s mother could let her imagination run wild, the physical examination had already ended.
Of course, if it was a detailed examination, the patient’s lower abdomen, thighs, and other areas would also have to be examined. There would be red or purplish-black hemangiokeratoma there. However, since there was a hemangiokeratoma on the ear, these places became a lot less important.
“It really looks like an eye of the storm.” Su Yun saw it clearly and sighed.
The eye’s vortex-like cornea was turbid. If one observed it carefully and clearly, they would discover that it was like an eye of the storm existing in the patient’s cornea.
This was a very typical characteristic. It was different from normal cornea diseases.
“What’s the matter?” Wang Dong’s mother asked doubtfully.
“It should be Fabry disease. Su Yun, do you have a pen and paper?” Zheng Ren asked.
Su Yun opened his arms, indicating that he did not have anything on him.
“Chief Zheng, I have one here.” Chang Yue took out a small notepad and a pen from her bag and handed it to Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren thought for a moment and wrote down on the notepad: ‘Diagnosis: Fabry’s disease. It is recommended that a test for alpha-galactosidase be done. If there is a positive result, the enzyme would be used as an alternative treatment.’
After writing down a line of words, Zheng Ren wrote down the words ‘Interventional Department’ and ‘Zheng Ren’ at the bottom. He tore off the page and handed it to Wang Dong’s mother.
“I have written down the diagnosis, what tests should be done, and the treatment. Keep this well and go to the Emergency Department…or go to the Rheumatology and Immunology Department to have a look.” Zheng Ren smiled and turned around to leave.
He handed the notepad and pen to Chang Yue, and the few of them left.
Xie Yiren looked at Zheng Ren with sparkling eyes. In her eyes, Zheng Ren was really handsome at this time.
“Boss, you made a diagnosis because of the blood vessel keratoma on the child’s ear?” Su Yun still did not understand and asked.
“Fabry’s disease is often misdiagnosed as rheumatism, arthritis, growth pain, or psychogenic pain in the early stage. It’s even thought that the patient is faking the disease.
“I heard from Wang Dong’s mother that the disease has been diagnosed many times, but no problem has been found,” Zheng Ren said as he walked. “So, think about where it is possible.”
“The blood vessel keratoma on the ear is a typical feature, but it cannot be diagnosed. In the end, it was only confirmed after looking at the cornea.”
Zheng Ren did not think much of it and said it casually.
“Then you were so sure before.” Su Yun was still confused.
“I’m not sure. Wang Dong’s mother can’t let him see it either,” Zheng Ren said casually.
“…” Su Yun was speechless. “What if the diagnosis is wrong?”
“Just look at the cornea. If It’s wrong, then it’s wrong. Do you care? If It’s wrong, I’m just an ordinary passerby. By the way, I’m a doctor from 912.”Zheng Ren looked at Su Yun seriously.
“Uh…” This was the first time Su Yun heard this kind of nonsense from Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren was usually honest and straightforward. He did not seem to be as slick as the usual Zheng Ren.
However, Su Yun thought about it again. The situation just now was a mess with the Emergency Department causing trouble. Zheng Ren really did not have any good ideas.
If it were him, things might have been a little simpler.
Was there a human trafficker as handsome as him? With such a stunning appearance, would doing anything not earn more than being a human trafficker?
Well, this was a world that looked at faces. The boss did this because an ordinary person who had no other choice was forced to do so.
With this thought, Su Yun felt relieved.
“I remember now. Fabry’s disease is caused by the inability to metabolize trihexyl glycosylceramide, which accumulates in the lysosomal body, leading to all kinds of clinical symptoms. It’s inherited from the X chromosome, and it’s more serious in males than females.” Su Yun thought about it for a long time. Finally, he found traces of Fabry’s disease in his memory and asked, “Boss, is treatment for this disease effective?”
“I don’t know either. I’ve never seen it before,” Zheng Ren said. “I read in a magazine that the cost of enzyme replacement treatment shouldn’t be too expensive.”
“That’s too tragic. Such a young child.” Chang Yue was overflowing with sympathy.
“You can just interpret it as diabetes. Injecting insulin every day doesn’t affect anything. Moreover, it’s better than diabetes. At the very least, you don’t have to control your diet.” Zheng Ren explained from a different angle.
When she said that she did not have to control her diet, Xie Yiren nodded repeatedly.
In her opinion, if she could not eat a lot of things, the world would be really tragic.
Turning around the corner of the Emergency Department, she could not see the crowd of troublemakers in the Emergency Department. She suddenly felt that she had returned to a normal world that was much quieter.
“They caused trouble at the 912. These people are really bold,” Su Yun complained.
“It’s very normal. A few days ago, when you guys weren’t around, the family members of the patients directly went to the Inpatient Department and said that there were still empty beds here. Why didn’t they let them stay at the hospital?” Chang Yue said. “The nurse told him that those beds were reserved for soldiers.”
“Then, the patient’s family started to make a scene?”
“It wasn’t really a scene. Anyway, they said a lot of things.” Chang Yue said. “I was too lazy to listen, so I left.”
