Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 154 - 112: Wait for Me to Return, Brother Ni Rudely Cuts in Line

Chapter 154: Chapter 112: Wait for Me to Return, Brother Ni Rudely Cuts in Line

Jaundice is a condition that most people might see in newborns.

However, the jaundice in newborns and adults fundamentally differ from each other!

A significant difference is that newborn jaundice occurs because newborns have many more red blood cells than adults when they are in their mother’s womb.

These extra red blood cells, once outside the mother’s body, rupture due to oxidation.

When the child’s liver cannot metabolize so many red blood cells simultaneously, bilirubin accumulates in the blood, turning the sclera, skin, and mucous membranes yellow.

In adults, jaundice is due to liver dysfunction that prevents bilirubin from being metabolized properly.

This is clinically manifested as hyperbilirubinemia, where the elevated bilirubin levels in the blood cause yellow discoloration of the sclera, skin, mucous membranes, and other tissues and fluids.

Newborn jaundice is easily cured and generally recedes quickly after treatment.

Of course, there are cases of medical overtreatment or severe conditions that affect brain development.

However, in today’s medical conditions, such possibilities have been greatly reduced.

But the dangers adults face with jaundice are exceedingly grave!

"Director, haven’t you noticed any changes in yourself over the past few days?"

Qin Feng asked, his brow furrowed, looking at Zhang Tong.

"Changes? Probably not, just been drinking more at night lately, and my stomach’s been uncomfortable,"

Zhang Tong pointed to the Sanjiu Weitai on the table and smiled helplessly,

"But it’s somewhat a good thing; I’ve lost a few pounds in the past few days, hehe~"

...

After a basic inquiry, Qin Feng’s heart sank further.

Alcohol consumption, weight loss, along with symptoms like jaundice and hiccups, led him to suspect there was an issue with the director’s internal organs.

The problem is likely centered around the liver, pancreas, or gallbladder!

He ruled out diseases like rice blast disease, which could cause similar symptoms because Zhang Tong had no exposure.

Now that the director’s sclera has yellowed, an immediate examination is necessary.

"Director, there’s something I need to tell you."

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, deciding to be honest.

After all, Zhang Tong has worked in the medical field all his life and must have seen tens of thousands of cases.

Even if he might be ill, he should be able to understand.

"Oh? What is it? Go ahead."

Zhang Tong looked at him, curious, and nodded.

"Can you spare an hour this afternoon for me? I need to confirm something."

"An hour?"

Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, Zhang Tong paused, looking more confused,

"There are a lot of things going on in the institute these days. I might not be able to... this afternoon..."

"Just one hour, before your trip, please spare me an hour!"

Qin Feng shook his head, insisting with a determined tone.

"This... can you give me a reason?"

Zhang Tong, seeing his resolve, fell silent for several seconds with a serious expression and said.

As he finished speaking,

Qin Feng got up, left the office, borrowed a small mirror from the young lady in the adjacent secretary’s office,

and then returned to stand in front of Zhang Tong, opening the mirror and placing it in front of him.

Zhang Tong was even more puzzled, wondering what it meant.

Does he want me to look at myself?

"Director, take a good look at the white part of your eyes."

Seeing Zhang Tong staring at him, Qin Feng pointed to the mirror and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tong instinctively looked at his eyes, and his eyelids twitched violently.

Is this... yellow discoloration?

"Scleral icterus, a symptom that occurs only with jaundice. I don’t think I need to explain the exact cause to you."

Qin Feng pursed his lips, explaining somewhat helplessly,

"Although I can’t determine the cause right now, you must come with me for a comprehensive check-up to find the cause of jaundice first."

...

Zhang Tong was silent~

He said nothing~

But it was obvious that his index finger on the document was twitching nervously, his face expressionless as he pondered.

"Alright."

Moments later, Zhang Tong put down the pen in his hand and nodded,

"I have a few urgent documents to sign off first, you wait for me to finish, it won’t matter if it takes a short while."

"Okay, you go ahead, I’ll go to the exam department and arrange everything for you."

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, feeling slightly more at ease.

Zhang Tong was very kind to him. If it weren’t for Zhang Tong giving him opportunities and full support, Qin Feng might not have progressed so far, even with extraordinary medical skills.

While other colleagues are still struggling through their residency training, he’s already the head of a major department.

It would have been impossible to achieve this with any other director, which is why Zhang Tong is called one of the key figures in medical reform in Jiang Province.

In just a few years, the previously unknown secondary hospital leaped into the ranks of tertiary hospitals, becoming a leading medical benchmark in Jiangcheng.

All the department heads in the hospital have achieved deputy senior level!

Even the heads of cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery are striving for the senior level!

Once successful, combined with the achievements of the transplant center, the status of Jiangcheng City First Hospital will officially become a leading provincial tertiary hospital.

This achievement is also Jiangcheng’s greatest pride!

Over the past decade or more, Zhang Tong has given so much.

To the point that even after his wife unexpectedly passed away, he had no time to find anyone else, now approaching his sixtieth year.

...

After leaving the director’s office, Qin Feng went straight to the examination department.

He immediately arranged for ultrasound, CT, MRI, MRCP, and pathological biopsy examinations.

At the same time, he notified the hematology department to prepare for biochemical and immunology blood tests!

Half an hour later,
