Chapter 338: Ross’ Trial
Both of them failed the audition at the private hospital. Instead, they were given chance to start an internship there. They both accepted. They started to do training together. In a few days, they recognized each other’s skills.
“If you ask me, Lu Xuan has gotten old and started to lose his sight.” Ross studied Mo Li. He was surprised by Mo Li’s mental fortitude. A girl her age would have jumped at the insult already.
Mo Li only smiled. “You might think it’s impossible but that might not be the case for others.”
“This is a very detailed surgery. Based on your proposal, we need to break the uninjured bones of your brother’s leg and then connect the nerves from his body to the 3D-printed bones. Do you think nerve repair surgery is that easy?”
Ross had to admit that the girl was very creative, but what she said was purely impossible. It was why he had asked to meet her in person. He wanted to temper her expectation, instead of giving her brother illogical fantasy, it was better to base it on reality and tell him that the problem with his legs couldn’t be fixed.
“Doctor Ross, Mayor Tian has sent over another helicopter. He needs you!” A nurse ran in.
Ross suddenly laughed. He turned to Mo Li. “Well, this is a perfect opportunity. If you can impress me, then I don’t mind joining your brother’s surgical team.”
Mo Li got into gear immediately. She put on the surgical gown and followed Ross into the helicopter.
Mo Li studied the patient’s medical records, paying attention to the symptoms and examination results. The patient was female, an old lady in her 60s, she had a lump in her lower right abdomen.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Mayor Tian’s home. When she arrived, Mo Li realized the mayor’s house was decorated with a lot of orchids. This was her first time interacting with the mayor. Mo Li was representing the Mo Family so she was extremely cautious. After all, Mo Yuin and Mo Xiao had business connections with this mayor.
Mo Li looked at Old Madam Tian laying in bed and started her diagnosis. Mo Li could feel a lump the size of a tennis ball around the old lady’s abdomen. When she pressed on it, the old lady groaned in pain. However, there was something very strange, because when Old Madam Tian took a deep breath, thus sucking in the abdominal wall, the lump would disappear.
“Don’t worry. Leave this to us. The lump is still in Old Madam’s abdominal cavity.”
Mo Li already had a rudimentary grasp from listening to the other nurses and doctors.
Old Madam Tian didn’t show symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. She only had minor constipation. Based on the finding from the previous ultrasound, Old Madam Tian’s abdominal lump contained gas. This ruled out the possibility that she suffered from gynecological diseases. Ross had also performed gastroscopy. The patient was cleared of colonic and gastric diseases as well.
After reading the patient’s records, Mo Li frowned. It would be hard to determine Old Madam Tian’s illness from existing results and symptoms. She would require further examination. However, Ross had set this up as a trial for her so he wouldn’t allow Mo Li to arrange more mechanical examination on Old Madam Tian.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Mo Li’s eyes shone.?Old Madam Tian is 68 years old, she is 1.64 meters tall and weighs 45 kg.?10 years ago, she had breast cancer and undergone a bilateral radical mastectomy… So what could be the reason behind this abdominal lump?
Women at Old Madam Tian’s age were prone to diseases like ovarian disease, colon cancer, appendiceal disease, and gastric antral disease…?With that in mind, Mo Li turned back to the patient’s medical records. She flipped to the earliest records. As she expected, Old Madam Tian was a dancer when she was young. So her weight was always lower than the average woman. Mo Li frowned. If she was not mistaken, Old Madam Tian suffered from gastroptosis when she was young.
After she flipped through Old Madam Tian’s past medical records, Mo Li got everything she needed.
“Okay, time’s up!” Ross looked at his watch and turned to the 3 people he had brought with him. He said, “Now, the three of you, tell me what should we do next?”
Mayor Tian didn’t like that Ross had treated his mother’s life as a game or a lesson but Ross was the best in his field so Mayor Tian didn’t say anything.
“Laparotomy is the best choice!” The person who said that was the brunette nurse who came to inform Ross of the helicopter at the center. She had considered this for a long time already so she was the first to answer when Ross asked. “We can’t make any judgment based on the currently available examination results. We need to turn to exploratory laparotomy. It is our safest bet.” She said confidently.
