I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 96 Murphy’s third knife: pituitary microadenoma (first order requested!)
"Start the auxiliary diagnostic function!"

After a burst of invisible scanning energy waves, a virtual golden panel popped up in Zhou Qiao's mind:
[Patient Christie Lavelle’s condition is: Cushing’s syndrome caused by pituitary microadenoma! 】

[After the diagnosis is completed, 5 medical mystery points will be deducted!The balance of the host doctor's Xuandian account: 128 points. 】

For the system's auxiliary diagnosis function, the medical points deducted are different each time, because it is determined according to the difficulty of diagnosis of the disease!

Zhou Qiao thought, as expected, it is Cushing's syndrome!
Moon face, buffalo back, central obesity, wide purple lines, irregular menstruation, edema of legs and feet...

These are the typical features of Cushing's syndrome!
When Zhou Qiao was in college, he had seen a description of this disease in a famous book, so it was not surprising that he relied on his own ability to diagnose Cushing's syndrome.

As for the cause of the disease not being diagnosed, it was not because he was not skilled enough, but because further examinations were not arranged.

Zhou Qiao returned to the computer, opened Google Translate, and looked up how to express Cushing's syndrome in English. After all, this is a professional vocabulary.For a while he couldn't remember how to spell it.understandable.

The system is a Chinese system, adapted according to his native language.

It may be possible to switch the language, but Zhou Qiao feels that Chinese is more pleasant and convenient to listen to.He didn't want to stay abroad for too long and end up not being able to speak Chinese smoothly.

The process just now is a long story, in fact, it only took a few seconds. Zhou Qiao looked up the spelling of the word, and then said to Christie: "You are not ordinary obese, nor are you suffering from endocrine disorders or depression. , but a condition called Cushing's syndrome."

"Cushing's syndrome? What is that?" Christie was shocked!Confused!
She originally just wanted to come here and have a simple gastric resection surgery like Felipe's. How could she have expected that she would be diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome?What a pity, she has never heard of it!
"Doctor Zhou, is it serious?" Christie said very worriedly.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "This is just my preliminary diagnosis, but it's almost indistinguishable. As for the specific cause, further examination is needed to find out. But don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"When the result comes out, I will explain it to you in detail and formulate a suitable treatment plan. It can always help you solve it satisfactorily. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Zhou." Christie actually admired Zhou Qiao very much. After all, after a series of operations, she showed professionalism and had already convinced her.

So Zhou Qiao arranged a check-up for her.

24-hour urine free cortisol measurement, blood cortisol measurement and circadian rhythm changes, blood corticotropic hormone measurement, blood electrolyte and blood gas analysis, standard low-dose dexamethasone suppression test, head MRI...

With such a long list in hand, Christie headed to the testing center in panic. She was confused, confused, and anxious...

After all, it was completely beyond her plan and unexpected.

……

In the clinic, Zhou Qiao quickly exchanged the master-level knowledge and surgical skills of Cushing's syndrome and pituitary microadenomas!
Consumed 25 medical mystery points!Account balance: 103 points!
Christie introduced herself when she first came here, and she told Joe Zhou that she is a friend of Felipe and Taylor, from the same community, and came here on their recommendation.

Because it was recommended by an acquaintance, and Zhou Qiao helped her find out the symptoms, Zhou Qiao was quite sure that Christie would probably treat her here!
It doesn't matter if he doesn't heal here, and the skills exchanged will not disappear, it will only strengthen his medical background!
In about a few tens of seconds, these knowledge and surgical skills were imprinted in the brain and the instincts of the muscles of the body, and Zhou Qiao's profound medical knowledge expanded a little bit!

He called Murphy over, looked at the cold-faced girl and said, "There's good news, you're about to undergo your third surgery!"

"Ah?" Murphy was shocked, why so fast?
Moreover, the frequency of surgeries at Iris Clinic is a bit high!In the past, even Professor Eric Parsont rarely performed so many difficult surgeries in a row!
She knew that if it was a minor operation, Zhou Qiao would not inform her with "good news"!

Zhou Qiao waved her hand, motioned Murphy to sit beside her, and said, "Just now I picked up a patient named Christie, most likely Cushing's syndrome caused by pituitary microadenomas, and now I have gone for an examination. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, I will It is estimated that this tumor needs to be surgically removed! Well, you will be the one to do the surgery!"

"Ah?" Murphy was slightly stunned, opened his mouth, and said hesitantly, "Pituitary microadenoma? This belongs to the category of neurosurgery, right? Can I really do it?"

The girl who looked cold on the outside was in a state of turmoil, wondering why Dr. Zhou's path was so wild.Such a large span?How come he knows all kinds of specialized surgeries?And dare to accept? !

Oh my God!This is simply more powerful than Professor Eric Parsont!No wonder Professor Pasent suggested that I come here to study with Zhou Qiao? !
Presumably, Professor Parsons was as surprised as I was!

She felt that she had met a good teacher again!

These days, what she has learned from Zhou Qiao cannot be given to her by any other hospital!
She's right!Maybe the gears of fate began to rotate slowly from the day Professor Parsant showed her the video of Zhou Qiao's surgery!

Sure enough, Zhou Qiao said: "Do it, you can do it, of course you can do it!"

Murphy: "..."

"Come on, let me first explain to you the theoretical knowledge of this disease, and then take you to the operating room and teach you a technique step by step!" Zhou Qiao said.

"Okay, Joe." Murphy nodded slightly.

To be honest, she has mostly been self-taught since she was a child. No one has ever taught her so carefully and considerately.Not even Professor Parsont!
Zhou Qiao thought, Murphy's hands are really slippery.

Due to the blessing of favorability and the admiration for Zhou Qiao in his heart, Murphy did not resist Zhou Qiao's inadvertent "smoothing", but felt a faint feeling of electric shock and heartbeat.

One is a systematic "initiation", the peak level of a master; one is a 19-year-old doctor of medicine, a genius girl; one teaches seriously, and the other learns with heart.

Before lunch started, the system determined that Murphy's pituitary microadenoma surgery skills had reached the beginning level of expertise and he could perform the surgery!

When Christie's examination report came out, sure enough, his blood cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone indicators were much higher than normal levels, and the cortisol secretion rhythm in a normal person should be highest in the morning, gradually decrease, and even lower in the evening. However, Christie's cortisol secretion was almost a straight line with no variation.

At the same time, the head MRI examination report showed abnormal changes in the pituitary gland, showing that the patient's tumor was located in the sellar region, with a diameter of about 0.485 cm. The tumor was round in shape with clear boundaries.
