I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 239 The roommate who was mercilessly killed

An ancient tree, as thick as five or six people could hug it, lay in front of Luo Qianhuai. In the night, only the branches were twisted and twisted, pointing upwards to the sky.

Luo Qianhuai felt a little happy that she had got her wish, because she saw a "human"-shaped cave at the root of the ancient tree.

It was a heaven-sent cave, specially designed for her to rest.

Although she was sleepy, she still did not forget that this was a wild place, and she took some protective measures before entering the cave.

He took out the iron-cut dagger he got from Zhang Qing and held it tightly in his hand. Luo Qianhuai's body was hidden on the side of the cave. He leaned over and picked up a few stones and threw them into the cave tentatively.

Left, center, right.

The tree hole seemed to be very clean, and no insects, ants, snakes or scorpions came out of it after testing like this, which was really considerate.

Luo Qianhuai yawned loudly, squinted his eyes and poked his head into the hole.

The tree hole was already lower than the ground level, so it was pitch black after entering. Her Huozhezi had been lost in the cave while running away, and she could only smell a faint smell of corruption, which seemed to be mixed with a bad smell.

Luo Qianhuai's brain stopped because of extreme fatigue, and she had no energy to think about it. As soon as she entered this windless and relatively warm place, her legs collapsed and she fell asleep within a few breaths. .

This was the first time she had dreamed about her past life since traveling through time.

The phone rang, it was the triage desk. Luo Qianhuai pressed answer immediately.

"Mr. Luo, there is a young female patient who came to the hospital not long ago due to intestinal obstruction. She is suffering from unbearable abdominal pain and is almost falling over while waiting for the doctor. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Assessing the criticality of patients to be diagnosed and arranging corresponding emergency resources are her responsibilities as the general resident of the emergency department.

"Being there soon!" Luo Qianhuai quickly arrived at the triage table and saw a mother and daughter. The young girl of 17 or 18 years old clutched her stomach tightly and was sweating. Her mother supported her anxiously and helplessly.

As soon as she saw Luo Qianhuai, the mother seemed to have found a backbone, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Doctor! My daughter's intestinal obstruction is getting worse and worse. She has been in so much pain lately!"

"When did the disease first start, and how many times has it happened so far?" Luo Qianhuai asked.

Mother hurriedly took out a stack of medical information from her bag and handed it over. Luo Qianhuai flipped through it roughly. Good guy, it's at least five hundred pages thick.

The patient began to suffer from various abdominal pains, flatulence, less bowel movements, and nausea and vomiting three years ago. For this reason, I visited the hospital no less than 30 times, was admitted to the hospital five times, and underwent an exploratory laparotomy. During the operation, intestinal adhesions were found, which were not relieved after surgical release and treatment.

All blood tests were normal, and there was only slight hyponatremia. Some doctors thought it was psychogenic abdominal pain and suggested she take anti-anxiety treatment.

"When was your last menstruation?" Luo Qianhuai asked while looking at it, "Will abdominal pain get worse during menstruation?"

"It seems that menstruation has nothing to do with abdominal pain." The girl seemed to have recovered a little and answered proactively.

Luo Qianhuai looked at her extremely pale face and already had a vague judgment in his heart.

"I'll make an order, go check it out immediately, and come back to me with the results."

She wrote a urine test sheet and asked the mother and daughter to do it immediately. "Testing for urinary porphyrinogen?" My mother looked at the items listed on the list and found that they were not done before, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Go check it out." Luo Qianhuai nodded affirmatively at her: "I'll be waiting for you here."

Testing for urinary porphyrinogen is always quick. Before the mother and daughter received the report, someone from the examination room called her.

"Mr. Luo, the results of the urinary porphyrin test you just prescribed came out. It's really porphyria!" Xiao Lin, the resident doctor in the laboratory, was a little excited.

This is not because of taking pleasure in others' misfortunes, but because this disease is so rare that if you finally encounter one, your heart will inevitably fluctuate.

Luo Qianhuai also felt a little excited in his heart. She was just guessing before, but she didn't expect that the other party really had this rare disease.

Porphyria, also known as vampire disease, is a metabolic disorder caused by the lack of activity of an enzyme in the body. It can cause a series of symptoms such as abdominal pain, low sodium, anemia and neuropathy. In addition, most patients will develop chronic photosensitive skin diseases, which will cause erythema, rash, blisters and even exfoliation when exposed to the sun.

The vampires who could not see the sunlight in European legends in the Middle Ages were actually porphyria patients.

The girl's porphyrobilinogen test was positive, and Luo Qianhuai made a clinical diagnosis: acute intermittent porphyria, which was treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and hydroxychloroquine.

A case of a rare disease was diagnosed and treated, ending the girl’s frequent nightmare of unclear diagnosis for more than three years. The department director praised her highly at this week’s regular meeting. Other colleagues in the department were also all smiles, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The last scene that Luo Qianhuai remembered was that she vigorously patted her colleague and best friend Xu Wei on the shoulder, and promised with a smile that she would treat him to a big meal after giving out the performance award.

When she opened her eyes, her smile had not gone away and her hands were still making slapping movements.

Just wait. Luo Qianhuai suddenly realized that something seemed not quite right.

What she slapped with her palms was not the extremely soft fur coat she was wrapped in, but rougher hair, which seemed to be a little softer.

In the tree hole in the wild, he touched a soft object. Luo Qianhuai was horrified and felt that his neck was stiff and he could not move at all.

The water droplets fell on her at this moment. One drop, two drops, accompanied by a fishy breath and increasingly heavier breathing sounds.

Luo Qianhuai's heart was much calmer than before. She is the kind of person who becomes calmer in critical situations. Her brain works at high speed and her hands take action.

Holding the dagger tightly in his left hand, he turned around sharply and stabbed it out, and warm liquid gushes out instantly.

The roar of a beast instantly sounded on her forehead, and something swung heavily from behind towards her shoulder. Luo Qianhuai ignored him and just took out his dagger and stabbed the tall and strong body repeatedly.

The dagger is extremely sharp, cutting through bone and flesh like ragged silk without any effort.

I don't know how long it took, but the palms on his shoulders fell weakly. Luo Qianhuai broke free and sat down helplessly, and then he began to feel pain and fear.

The sky was about to dawn, and Luo Qianhuai saw clearly the roommate who had just been mercilessly killed by her.

Who would have thought that just by staying in a tree hole for one night, you would encounter a hibernating brown bear?

It seems that it was awakened by her slapping in a dream. Before it was completely clear, she took advantage of it and died innocently.

Of course, this was a bit lucky today. If the bear had woken up earlier, or if Luo Qianhuai didn't have the dagger with the broken blade, she would probably have become a snack for the brown bear in hibernation.
