Zheng Ren looked through the test report and x – ray very carefully, taking nearly 20 minutes.
The amount of alpha – fetal protein increased from 12 to 31, then to 50 – 100 – 1000. The value would double almost every time he checked.
The more recent it was, the higher the multiplier.
Other examinations did not show any signs of residual tumor lesions or metastases.
It was exactly as he had imagined.
After he finished reading all the tests, Zheng Ren arranged the scans and test reports and put them back in chronological order.
“Dr. Zheng, you …” Li Hui hesitated and asked.
“Sister li, it’s like this.” Zheng Ren placed the x – ray film on the armrest of the sofa and said seriously,””I’m sure you’ve been to the directors of the relevant departments in many hospitals for treatment. ”
Li Hui nodded his head.
“The conclusion is the same. We need to observe.” “Actually, that’s what I wanted to say as well,” Zheng Ren said.”I suspect that there’s a metastasis, but we can’t determine the exact location of the lesion with the current examination.”
Li Hui’s face revealed a hint of disappointment.
They guessed that there was a metastasis, but there was no evidence. This was the current situation.
“I’ve encountered similar cases before. The outbreak of liver cancer metastasis is growth, and it’s very difficult to control. How’s old Li’s mental state, food, and daily life?” Zheng Ren asked.
“It’s still alright. There’s not much difference from before. ” Li Hui said in a soft voice. Her tone was clear and indifferent, but it was difficult to hide her disappointment.
“Hmm …” Zheng Ren muttered to himself for a few seconds, then finally said,””If you don’t mind performing a CT scan, I would like to do a full – body CT scan.”
“Your entire body?”
“Yes, including all the seats.” “I’m working in the Department of interventional services now, so I have a rather in – depth understanding of medical imaging,”Zheng Ren said.
“Dr. Mehal from the Karolinska medical school of the medical University in Stockholm, Sweden, acknowledges Dr. Zheng’s medical imaging skills.” Vice President Yuan chimed in.
Li Hui was not surprised. She should have heard about Zheng Ren’s recent operation on Dr. Mehal from Sweden.
That was why she had come to 912 and specifically asked for Zheng Ren’s help.
However, a full – body CT scan required a lot of body parts. How much radiation does he need to eat? Normal patients and their family members were more concerned about this.
“I’ll go home and discuss this with my father. ” Li Hui said with some hesitation.
“Alright,” he said. Zheng Ren took out his phone and pulled up the QR code.””Leave me your WeChat. If elder li agrees to come for a CT scan, I’ll let Department Director Hao know in advance.”
Vice President Yuan looked at Zheng Ren and smiled.
This little fellow really didn’t understand the ways of the world. Elder li came to 912 for a checkup. Do you need to inform him?
However, he didn’t say anything and just looked at it with interest. He was so rash. Was he also like this when he was young?
Li Hui then scanned Zheng Ren’s WeChat, added him as a friend, and left.
“Little Zheng, what’s your judgment?” Deputy Dean Yuan waited for Li Hui to leave before asking seriously.
“Hospital director, I highly suspect that it’s a metastasis, but I’m not sure of the exact location.” Zheng Ren said honestly,”even if I do a CT scan, the chances of me finding out are not very high.”
Associate Hospital director Yuan was stunned. ‘What do you mean by even if you do a CT scan?’
These words!
How much trust did he have in his own technical level to say such things so naturally?
“Sit down and talk, little Zheng,” he said with a smile.
Zheng Ren felt that it was a little strange. Why was Vice Director Yuan looking for him? Why didn’t he let her go?
After performing the surgery on Dr. Mehal, even a person with a slow social sense like Zheng Ren could feel the change in the attitude of hospital director Yan and Deputy Director Yuan towards him.
However, to him, it didn’t matter.
“Lil ‘Zheng, although elder Lee isn’t a medical scientist, he has made an indelible contribution to the research and promotion of endangered and rare wild animals in our country.” Vice President Yuan said slowly.
Zheng Ren looked into his eyes and assumed the posture of an elementary school student who was listening to a teacher’s lecture.
“I’m also very regretful that old man Li is sick. ” Deputy hospital director Yuan said,”it’s normal for people to die of old age and illness. We just have to do our best.” Besides, elder li has been receiving Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Beijing, and it has little to do with us. ”
“When I first started working, there was a large – scale rescue operation for the giant pandas in the country. Do you have any impression of it?”
“Uh … Bamboo flowers?”
“Yes, elder li is one of the main initiators.” “If you don’t … Let’s not talk about this. How confident are you in making a definite diagnosis of old Li’s latent metastasis?” Associate Hospital director Yuan said with a smile.
Zheng Ren muttered to himself.
If it was in the past, he definitely wouldn’t have any confidence at all.
Zheng Ren felt that it was very normal for so many experts in liver and gallbladder cases in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and imperial capital to not make a diagnosis.
But now, director Zhou chunyong of Beijing’s liver and gallbladder Department was extremely attentive. Zheng Ren looked at the so – called ‘big bull’ with a completely peaceful mentality. He did not have the feeling of worshiping Him like before.
However, the possibility of him being able to make a definite diagnosis was not high.
Using a big pig’s trotter to make a diagnosis? Who knew if that guy would only diagnose him as bone metastasis and cancer, but not specify which part of his body it was.
Looking at the CT scan, coupled with his own reconstruction ability, he could confirm a few possible points. However, Zheng Ren was still clueless about what to do and how to do it.
After thinking for a few minutes, the office was unusually quiet. Vice Principal Yuan did not rush him. Instead, he looked at Zheng Ren with interest.
Young, honest, and serious. These words appeared in Associate Hospital director Yuan’s mind.
When Department Director Kong had strongly requested it, neither he nor director Yan had expected it to be from such a young man.
What did he think at that time? The Nobel Prize in Medicine candidate was just a gimmick that could add a touch of color to 912.
However, it was only a flash of light. If it was a cowardice, they would really lose.
Maybe in a few decades, he would become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
At that time, he agreed mainly because of two reasons: his status as a Nobel Prize nominee and Department Director Kong’s persistence.
But now, it seemed to be a huge surprise.
In just a few months ‘time, the little fellow had already become so valiant. He had thrown the difficult problem of liver treatment in China to him, but he did not smile bitterly to show that he was helpless. Instead, he was thinking about it.
He was actually thinking!
Thinking meant that it was possible. Although the possibility was low, as long as it existed, it was a kind of breakthrough.
After a long time, Zheng Ren finally woke up and said with a bitter smile,””Director, you know that I’m very good at reading scans, but I can’t guarantee anything. There’s only a 30% chance that we’ll discover something unusual. ”
30%!
This was already very high.
” 30% is enough.” Vice President Yuan smiled. Then I’ll find time to talk to old Li. ”
