Chapter 17 Years of Misdiagnosis

Su Yang seemed to think of something. He gently said to the teenager’s parents: “Uncle, aunt, you have taken him to many hospitals, right? What were the diagnoses in those hospitals before?”

The boy’s parents didn’t seem to expect Su Yang to speak so mildly. They were a little flustered. After a while, the boy’s father said honestly, “Little doctor, the previous hospital had diagnosed gastroenteritis, but he couldn’t cure it all the time. , This child still vomits badly.”

Su Yang nodded, he took a step forward and said slowly to the teenager lying on the hospital bed: “Can you hear me?”

The boy didn’t make a sound and shook his head.

Su Yang asked again: “Do you want to vomit now?”

The boy shook his head again.

Certain guesses in Su Yang’s mind were confirmed, and he wanted to confirm it again.

“Can you just shake your head and feel sick when you nod?”

When the young man heard Su Yang’s words, his face was startled, and he still shook his head.

Everyone in the ward felt confused when they watched Su Yang’s inexplicable questioning.

“Are you a rotating doctor, can you ask a doctor? What are you asking?”

Xu Minghang said loudly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Su Yang. Now when discussing the referral, Su Yang is asking the patient these inexplicable questions.

Su Yang didn’t care about Xu Minghang who was talking loudly. He turned around, facing Jiang Xiaoqi and Sun Dacheng, and said seriously: “Two directors, I’m pretty sure that this patient has a brain tumor, not gastroenteritis, and there is no urgency. Abdominal disease, and peripheral neuritis is just a complication of long-term bed rest and physical weakness.”

“What? Brain tumor?”



Xu Minghang suddenly roared loudly.

“Will you see a doctor? You said he was a brain tumor. Then I ask you, what are the signs of his intracranial tumor? You mean we didn’t even see that this patient has a brain tumor?”

Xu Minghang looked upset. Neurosurgery had been suppressed by the emergency department several times. The director of the emergency department, Xu Jianming, was a well-known neurosurgery expert before. He didn’t know why, so he went to the emergency department as the director. Therefore, several times, mild traumatic brain injuries are always referred to neurosurgery. As for those difficult and miscellaneous diseases, which are truly neurosurgery surgeries, He Jianming led them to perform.

In this way, it seems that their neurosurgery can only treat mild cases, and severe cases have to rely on emergency treatment. He has long been unable to bear it, and now this rotating doctor is talking about it here again.

Jiang Xiaoqi and Sun Dacheng were also surprised and surprised.

However, Sun Dacheng is relatively stable, and he is very considerate of patients. He regards fame and fortune very lightly. He looked at Xu Minghang and said, “Well, Dr. Xu, since the emergency department has opinions, let them talk. .”

Although Xu Minghang has a fiery temper, he still respects Sun Dacheng. He looked at Su Yang and said angrily: “Since you say he is a brain tumor, then I will ask you, what is his intracranial tumor localization sign? What? Since there is a tumor in the brain, it will oppress or affect the corresponding functional areas of the brain and cause corresponding symptoms. However, this patient has no other symptoms except vomiting. This vomiting is not jet vomiting, but The way of vomiting caused by gastroenteritis.”

If it is jet vomiting, it is a manifestation of brain tumor irritation, indicating that there may be a brain tumor. Xu Minghang is also a senior doctor, so he will not let go of any suspicious points. But what Su Yang said was completely out of nothing, without any basis.

That’s why Xu Minghang thought that Su Yang was purely looking for faults and didn’t want to accept patients.

“Yeah, Xiao Su, the signs of intracranial tumors are indeed important external indications for diagnosing brain tumors. If the patient has a tumor in the sella area, the vision will be weakened and blindness will occur. A tumor in the posterior fossa will cause common limbs. He suffers from dysfunction, and cerebellopontine angle tumors have facial paralysis and hoarseness. But this patient does not have any corresponding signs of intracranial tumor localization.”

Jiang Xiaoqi also had some doubts about Su Yang’s diagnosis. To be fair, she did not see any signs of intracranial tumor localization in this patient.

“Yeah, I didn’t see it either. Boy, you can’t say that I am a director of neurosurgery. I didn’t see the signs of the intracranial tumor on the patient. I didn’t find that my patient had a brain tumor.”

Sun Dacheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Su Yang looked at the people present, pondered for a moment, and said very seriously: “The two directors, the patient is indeed a brain tumor, but his location signs have been covered up, so that he has been misdiagnosed as gastroenteritis. And peripheral neuritis, so the previous treatment has no effect at all.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, then what are the positioning signs?”

Su Yang was so sure that even Xu Minghang, who had a bad temper, wondered what Su Yang would say.

Su Yang paused, and said slowly: “The two directors, this patient, he can’t nod his head but can only shake his head because of his intracranial tumor localization signs.”

After Su Yang finished speaking, everyone was startled.

After a while, Sun Dacheng suddenly realized:

“Yes, the tumor grows in the brain and affects related functional areas, causing the patient to nod his head, which stimulates the corresponding area and induces vomiting. Why haven’t I noticed such a simple thing before?”

Sun Dacheng is the director of neurosurgery and a well-known expert in the country. Su Yang only said this symptom. After thinking about it, he knew what was going on.

“Director Sun, it is because the patient’s course of disease is too long, the brain tumor has not been found for so long, and because of long-term vomiting, he suffered from chronic gastroenteritis, so this localization sign is covered up.”

Su Yang explained.

Jiang Xiaoqi looked at Su Yang with a surprised look. Su Yang once again refreshed her knowledge. Such hidden symptoms were covered so perfectly. For such a long time, so many hospitals and experts did not find out, but Su Yang However, Yang discovered in just ten minutes, the divergence of this thinking is simply unparalleled, and he is really a born doctor.

Xu Minghang’s jaw was about to fall off. He is a senior neurosurgeon. His professional level is beyond doubt. When Su Yang said, he also understood immediately.



But for such a simple matter, why the patient went to so many hospitals and was not discovered.

Moreover, even he and the director did not find out about this, and they have been treating peripheral neuritis and chronic gastroenteritis according to the treatment. This rotating doctor has two brushes.

“Brain tumor?”

“How can my son get a brain tumor, isn’t it gastroenteritis?”

The teenager’s mother, hearing the words brain tumor, couldn’t accept it for a while.

“Yes, doctor, is it a mistake? My son has gastroenteritis.”

The boy’s father was also panicked. The difference between gastroenteritis and brain tumors is too big. A brain tumor is terrible.

“Don’t panic. We will immediately perform a head CT for him. Moreover, even if it is a brain tumor, it can be operated on. The result may not be as bad as you think.”

Sun Dacheng comforted the teenager’s parents.

“Doctor, you must save my son, he is only 13 years old!”

The boy’s father was about to kneel, Su Yang held him fast with his eyesight and hands.

“Don’t worry, we will do our best.”

Sun Dacheng also walked over quickly and supported the young father with Su Yang, comforting him gently.
