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

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

However, the jaundice in newborns and adults fundantally 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 tabolize so many red blood cells simultaneously, bilirubin accumulates in the blood, turning the sclera, skin, and mucous mbranes yellow.

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

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

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

Of course, there are cases of dical overtreatnt or severe conditions that affect brain developnt.

However, in today’s dical 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 sowhat 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 imdiate examination is necessary.

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

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

After all, Zhang Tong has worked in the dical 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 ? I need to confirm sothing."

"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 an hour!"

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

"This... can you give 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 ant.

Does he want 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 sowhat helplessly,

"Although I can’t determine the cause right now, you must co with 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 docunt was twitching nervously, his face expressionless as he pondered.

"Alright."

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

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

"Okay, you go ahead, I’ll go to the exam departnt 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 dical skills.

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

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 dical reform in Jiang Province.

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

All the departnt 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 achievents of the transplant center, the status of Jiangcheng City First Hospital will officially beco a leading provincial tertiary hospital.

This achievent 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 ti to find anyone else, now approaching his sixtieth year.

...

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

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

At the sa ti, he notified the hematology departnt to prepare for biochemical and immunology blood tests!

Half an hour later,
