"Actually, from what you just described, I think Mr. Liu got this symptom because he went to the gym, and it’s also because he went to the gym that only his foot showed symptoms."
Zhang Lingchuan started speculating.
"Huh??"
"Dr. Xiaochuan, what are you saying? It sounds so convoluted to us."
The two of them looked completely bewildered.
Huang Xiangning’s brain was even a bit overloaded.
"Well, what I’m saying is that the tuberculosis I ntioned is not lung tuberculosis; it could be bone tuberculosis. As for why your husband got infected, I speculate it might be because he often works out at the gym, where air circulation is generally poor due to the crowdedness. A patient with drug-resistant tuberculosis can infect 10 to 15 people a year through close contact, so he got infected. And because he’s been working out regularly, he’s in good physical shape. The mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lungs was eradicated, but because the ankle often gets injured, it’s relatively weak, and ultimately that place was attacked and infected."
Zhang Lingchuan sorted through the logic and explained it.
That’s why he says he succeeded by working out and also got infected by working out.
[System scan complete.]
[Patient Na: Liu Hongjiang.]
[Patient Gender: Male.]
[Patient Age: 32 years old.]
[Patient Condition: The patient’s foot is swollen and festering.]
[Patient Diagnosis: Bone tuberculosis.]
[System Tip: The patient was accidentally infected with the tuberculosis virus, but due to regular exercise, the lungs were not infected, instead, the virus attacked the frequently injured ankle, ultimately forming a condition at the ankle. A targeted examination is recomnded, and if more detailed information is needed, a Precise Scan can be used.]
This was the content shown from the scan.
Since it was a normal scan, there weren’t very detailed specifics.
But it’s basically possible to infer why the lungs weren’t infected, probably because of regular exercise, resulting in a strong body, the tuberculosis virus invasion failed, and his foot got it. He himself also ntioned it was due to frequent exercise causing latent injuries.
Given there’s a latent injury, resistance is naturally weaker.
As for not having tuberculosis in the first place, why did he get infected?
Mainly because the tuberculosis virus itself is contagious.
In a gym where air doesn’t circulate well, especially in group classes like spin bikes, if he happened to encounter a source of infection, getting infected is entirely possible.
"Doctor, so what you’re saying is this isn’t a sprain, but rather an infection with the tuberculosis virus? The reason for the infection is because I was in a non-ventilated environnt. But why didn’t it affect my lungs? It’s because I work out often, and the virus was eradicated, while the foot symptoms appeared because that’s a part of my body that frequently gets injured?"
Liu Hongjiang seed to have sowhat understood.
And he thought this young doctor had a good point.
After all, his foot often hurt before, but never to the point where he couldn’t get out of bed like today. It was simply bizarre.
If he had done so intense exercise the day before, that would be another matter.
But his exercise routine was consistent with what he usually did.
There was hardly any change.
His body would have already adjusted.
It couldn’t possibly swell and fester so ridiculously.
So there’s only one answer.
He was infected by a virus.
Rembering that spin bikes were one of his favorite workouts, and the bike room was really closed, without any air circulation, there was indeed a chance he bumped into so kind of infectious spreader, the Poison King.
"Yes, which is why I suggest getting a routine blood test and a tuberculin test, as well as an X-ray of your foot."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded.
"Then Director Huang, could you arrange such a test for us?"
Liao Yi and Liu Hongjiang both agreed.
"Sure, then I’ll arrange a test for tuberculosis for you."
Actually, the thought of tuberculosis had just crossed Huang Xiangning’s mind.
But since the patient wasn’t coughing, she didn’t pursue this line of thought at first.
After hearing Xiaochuan’s analysis, Huang Xiangning felt there was indeed a high possibility of tuberculosis.
Infected at the gym, and because of working out, the body’s strong health prevented a successful invasion, while an injury-prone ankle got successfully attacked, ultimately leading to bone tuberculosis.
The entire logic line made sense.
Why does it feel so much easier making a diagnosis with Xiaochuan around!!
"Thank you, Director Huang, and also this young doctor, as expected from the prominent disciple of National dical Master Shen Xuanqing. We’ll go have a check-up to see if it’s bone tuberculosis."
They pushed open the door and left.
"Master’s wife... look at this ss you’re making. I’m not even one of the Master’s students. If this spreads, people might accuse of using the Master’s National dical Master title to deceive, which wouldn’t be good for the Master’s reputation either."
Zhang Lingchuan was exasperated.
They really believed it.
Right now, he was still just an unknown little veterinarian.
Master is a National dical Master, which in this world is the highest honor in Chinese dicine, akin to being an academician.
If soone accuses him of deceiving using the title of an academician’s student, it wouldn’t be good for the Master himself.
Sigh...
It’s mainly because he himself had a brain fart at the ti.
How could he think of using those words to impress Old Zhang, which Old Zhang then unwittingly ntioned in a livestream.
"All right, all right, your Master would be thrilled if you used his title. As soon as he hears soone saying you’re his disciple, he’d be so happy he couldn’t sleep at night. There’s nothing bad about that... I’ve heard he’s long wanted to take you as a disciple, but Xiaochuan, you seem to have let the old man down quite a bit~"
Huang Xiangning teased while sipping water.
