Chapter 840: Wilkie’s Syndrome
“This is my friend, Boss Zheng from 912,” Lin Jiaojiao introduced him after entering the private room.
There were three men and a woman sitting inside. The woman was skinny and looked like she had terminal cancer.
Lin Jiaojiao introduced Zheng Ren and then introduced the people sitting there. Two of them were big bosses in the Imperial Capital. The other man and woman came from other places to see the doctor.
Zheng Ren was not interested in the three men. His eyes were on the skinny woman. The System panel was slightly red. She was sick, but it was not serious.
“Boss Zheng, please take a seat,” Lin Jiaojiao said.
Zheng Ren nodded and sat next to Lin Jiaojiao.
“Boss Zheng, you look so young, but you are a candidate for this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine. Not only domestically, but internationally. Boss Zheng’s standard is top-notch,” Lin Jiaojiao boasted irresponsibly.
However, if she were to say this in front of her colleagues in the medical field, she would not be so straightforward.
However, if she did not say this in front of a few laymen, it would be very difficult to break the ice at the beginning.
A few sentences were especially effective, and the way everyone looked at Zheng Ren changed. There were actually not many awards that were known to be complicated in the country. The Nobel Prize was a prize that was known to all, even children.
Zheng Ren’s identity as a candidate for the Nobel Prize was immediately enhanced under this halo.
Lin Jiaojiao was indeed good at speaking because the slightly awkward atmosphere of Zheng Ren was quickly adjusted.
Zheng Ren did not think too much about it. He saw the diagnosis given by the System in its panel of the sick woman and kept flipping through the relevant information about the disease in his memory.
“Lin, tell Boss Zheng about your wife’s illness,” Lin Jiaojiao said. “Let me tell you, although Boss Zheng is young, his skill level is especially high.
“Last year, I suddenly lost my sight. It was Boss Zheng who performed the surgery.
“I was be able to see the next day!”
The award-winning halo and Lin Jiaojiao’s personal anecdote gave the businessman surnamed Lin a lot of confidence.
“Hello, Boss Zheng.” The man stood up and took a few steps forward. He bent down and stretched out his hand. He said politely, “I’m Lin Fengming. Sister Lin and I are from the same family. Please help me.”
Pleasure to meet you.” Zheng Ren shook his hand and looked into his eyes. He spoke gently.
“My wife has been sick recently.” Lin Fengming put his hand on the skinny woman’s shoulder and said with a sad face, “In the past few months, she has lost 20 pounds. I took her to our hospital for a check-up. There was no problem.”
Zheng Ren nodded and asked, “Did it start all of a sudden? Are there any symptoms?”
“There’s nothing unusual.” Lin Fengming had obviously answered this question countless times. Without thinking, he said, “A while ago, Shanshan had to participate in a modeling competition. She might have been a little nervous before the competition and started to lose sleep. After that, she kept losing weight.”
Zheng Ren did not say anything and listened quietly.
“At the beginning, Shanshan was quite happy and did not have to worry about her weight. However, her weight continued to drop uncontrollably. Three months ago, she experienced nausea and vomiting, especially when she could not eat. After eating, she vomited and vomited so much that her bile came out.”
The more Lin Fengming spoke, the more distressed he became. His expression was gloomy.
“I was worried that there was something wrong with Shanshan, so I took her for a check-up,” Lin Fengming said.
Zheng Ren knew that he was worried that the patient might have a malignant tumor, which was why she continued to lose weight.
“But after a full two months of the check-up, all the hospitals in our area said that there was no major problem, so I came to trouble Sister Lin,” Lin Fengming explained simply, but judging from his meaning, he did not trust Zheng Ren very much. He just did not want to brush off Lin Jiaojiao’s good intentions.
“Are the radiographic films here? Let me take a look,” Zheng Ren said lightly.
“They’re in the car. I’ll get the driver to bring them up,” Lin Fengming said.
“Boss Zheng, what do you think?” Lin Jiaojiao suddenly asked when she saw Zheng Ren sitting beside her with an imposing manner.
Under normal circumstances, she should not have asked this question. At the very least, she would wait until he finished looking at the radiographic films and observed Zheng Ren’s expression to make sure that he understood before she said anything. If she asked now, if Zheng Ren did not know what illness it was, it would be a loss of face for Boss Zheng.
However, Lin Jiaojiao suddenly had an vision that Zheng Ren should have everything under control.
He was only looking at the radiographic films to confirm.
Lin Jiaojiao could not tell why she had this premonition.
She was a nurse and belonged to the industry. She had seen countless big shots in the medical world. She vaguely sensed that aura from Zheng Ren, or rather, his temperament, was similar to that of the top academicians in the country.
However, Zheng Ren was too young, and people could not help but feel a sense of distrust.
Zheng Ren listened to Lin Jiaojiao’s question and looked at the patient. He said, “If I’m not wrong, this illness is not anorexia, but a very uncommon illness.”
“Not anorexia?” Lin Fengming had just gotten off the phone and asked the driver to bring up all kinds of test results and radiographic films when she heard Zheng Ren’s words.
What he said…
Was exactly what Lin Fengming was most afraid of and worried about.
Anorexia was not scary. If it was really not possible, he could use a nasogastric tube or vein to provide nutritional drugs. She would be fine.
But if it was not anorexia, could it be a malignant tumor?
In Lin Fengming’s mind, the only situation where his wife was continuing to lose weight was all kinds of cancer.
His face instantly became very ugly. If Lin Jiaojiao was not sitting there, he would have gone berserk.
What nonsense was the young doctor spouting?
There were so many doctors from the large hospitals in the Provincial Capital saying that everything was fine. It was probably anorexia. How could a junior doctor spout such nonsense?!
Lin Fengming glanced at Lin Jiaojiao and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Lin Jiaojiao ignored him. He was just a partner. Lin Jiaojiao already knew who was the strategic resource and who she should stand by. It was nonsense to say that she was from the same family. Was a surname enough to match them to the same family? Lin Jiaojiao knew which side to turn to.
If this Brother Lin continued to be so tactless, she would not care about the matter. Lin Jiaojiao had a gentle smile on her face, but countless thoughts surfaced in her heart. She even thought of how she would end things after she cut ties with Lin Fengming.
“Mr. Lin, how tall is your lover? How much did she weigh in the past?” Zheng Ren suddenly asked.
“1.78 meters.” Lin Fengming was a little angry.
He was shorter, while Shanshan was a model. She was much taller than him. When the two of them stood together, they did not look very compatible.
They came to see a doctor, who asked about her height and weight. Could he be a pervert?!
Zheng Ren nodded and did not say anything. He just stared at the table in a daze and kept flipping through related information in his memory.
Indeed, the diagnosis given by the System was not a tumor, but a rare disease called superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
It was just rare, not uncommon.
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, also known as Wilkie’s syndrome, was a vascular disease, not some malignant tumor. It was common in women, especially tall and thin women.
