When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1084 - 1087: It's Okay to Be Idle!

Chen Cang thought of this and suddenly worried that the other party might also not understand the mechanism of allergies.

This child has an allergic constitution and must be careful in the future.

So, Chen Cang stopped in his tracks and looked at the couple, patiently explaining:

"Actually, it's not that the first exposure didn't cause an allergy. It's mainly due to a mechanism of allergy in the human body."

"The reason there was no reaction the first time you consume kiwis is not really that there is no problem, but rather because corresponding IgE antibodies are produced in the body and coat the surface of mast cells in human tissues, sensitizing them;

However, when the allergen is ingested again, degranulation occurs, causing a range of symptoms."

Chen Cang continued, "I did an allergen test for the child earlier. After you leave, pay more attention."

"Also, when feeding the child something, you have to 'try' more than 2 times in small amounts and closely observe the reactions after eating. Do not let your guard down on the second try if there were no issues with the first consumption.

It is generally after a small amount of 'trying out 3 times' and observing no reaction that you can gradually increase the amount moderately."

Hearing Chen Cang's words, the woman nodded continuously: "Okay, doctor, I got it. I will be careful in the future!"

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

In fact, many times, the specificity of the human body is a complex matter.

What is delicious to many people might be poison to others!

Even medically speaking, any food might cause allergic reactions.

Common items like pineapple contain bromelain, an enzyme that can increase the permeability of gastrointestinal mucosa, allowing large molecular hetero-proteins from the stomach and intestine to seep into the bloodstream.

Pineapple allergy symptoms include sporadic severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, skin itching, redness, numbness in the limbs and tongue, excessive sweating, hives, conjunctival hemorrhage, and difficulty in breathing.

Not to mention, mango dermatitis, banana respiratory allergies, strawberry hives...

Sometimes, it's really best not to overthink it.

Because if you think carefully, you would sigh: Geez, living is really not easy!

As soon as Chen Cang left the emergency room, he saw Zhang Yuan explaining the condition to the patient, with the patient's family by the side.

The patient wasn't old, around fifty, with his wife and child as family members.

"Doctor, pulmonary embolism? Isn't that a bit exaggerated? He just feels a bit of chest tightness, isn't that too much?"

Zhang Yuan was also earnestly persuading, and it seemed the family didn't quite trust him, always thinking Zhang Yuan was exaggerating.

Zhang Yuan, with a serious face: "I'm really not joking, I indeed cannot be certain that it is pulmonary embolism, hence we need to carry out relevant examinations to clarify as soon as possible. If it is, we would deal with it in time. If not, then all the better. Sounds fair, right?"

After hearing this, the family seemed hesitant.

Seeing this, Chen Cang took the initiative to walk over: "Actually, some pulmonary embolisms are asymptomatic and mainly depend on how much the blood vessel is blocked!"

"If it's minor, blocking 2-3 segments of the lung, it might present no symptoms at all; but if it's severe and affects 15-16 segments, it could cause shock or sudden death."

"So, I still hope you take this seriously."

The family hesitated.

Initially, they had just brought the elderly family member because he was feeling unwell. The middle-aged man was thinking about getting an ECG for himself as well, feeling a bit of heart palpitations recently.

Having that test done, indeed there was an issue discovered!

Pulmonary embolism!

Hearing what the two doctors said, frankly, the whole family was somewhat uneasy.

The young man in his twenties said to his father, "Dad, I think it's better to listen to the doctors and complete the examination. Since we are already at the hospital, consider it a check-up."

Upon hearing this, the man gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Alright, Doctor Zhang, please take care of this."

Zhang Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If this man really left, Zhang Yuan would be helpless, but would definitely regret it.

Sometimes, doctors are very anxious facing patients who may have a great risk.

They are even more nervous than the patients themselves.

Always feeling: it's like not having tried your best to save someone.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Chen Cang: "Doctor Chen... how about you handle this?"

Chen Cang looked at Zhang Yuan and shook his head: "You handle it!"

Zhang Yuan urgently nodded!

Emergency doctors need real-life experiences. Seeing that the patient decided to stay, Chen Cang also relaxed.

After that matter was dealt with, Chen Cang also turned around and went back to the emergency room.

Generally speaking!

Most people don't want to visit the emergency department in the middle of the night unless the condition is urgent.

Of course... some are just pains in the neck!

Like the following patient.

At about 1 a.m., two young people came to the emergency department, not very old, in their twenties, a man and a woman.

The man looked terribly pained, even his expression was somewhat distorted, walking a bit like… the Japanese soldier played by Pan Changjiang in the movie "Raise Your Hands".

He stepped apart and walked forward step by step!

The woman beside him actually wanted to laugh, but... the man was in too much pain, preventing her from laughing.

Chen Cang, seeing this, was also a bit curious. The 22-year-old nurse Cheng Yi, whose curiosity was extremely strong, hurried over to help as well!

Now the man didn't care about decency anymore.

He spoke with a mournful face:

But Cheng Yi's eyes widened with curiosity.

Yet seeing the man's pained expression, Cheng Yi began to think about the pain scale that Doctor Chen had explained to her previously!

What level of pain was this?

Hearing this word, Chen Cang quickly said, "Follow me to the dressing room."

The four people then helped the man to the treatment room.

There, Chen Cang asked, "What caused this?"

The man spoke with a wronged face: "It suddenly started hurting when I was handing in my assignment."

Chen Cang paused, then understood.

Handing in an assignment, huh...

"Take off your pants and sit down, let me have a look."

The man nodded.

Upon seeing, Chen Cang immediately frowned: "How did you injure yourself? Bumped or knocked on something?"

The man shook his head: "No... I... I..."

The woman could no longer stand by and spoke directly: "He was copying some moves he saw on TV! Wanted to try them out, but the movement was too big, and it ended up like this?"

Chen Cang, hearing this, couldn't help nodding his head!

Pioneers always have to pay a price, thinking this, Chen Cang glanced at Cheng Yi: "Go call the urology department and let them know we need a consult urgently."

Cheng Yi nodded and ran out, her heart pounding non-stop. It turns out being idle and being in pain have nothing to do with each other!
