Chapter 567: Chapter 243: Controversy, The Obstinate Aunt is About to Cause Trouble_3

But one thing was certain, if infected, it was only a matter of ti before symptoms appeared.

“Didn’t you get tested for Salmonella?”

Zhou Can asked.

“Not yet… We try to save wherever we can since it’s not easy for us to earn money. I’ve always been healthy. I thought I could just fight it off.”

The older woman spoke in fits and starts from her hospital bed.

Clearly, she was in considerable pain.

She had co to the hospital to take care of her husband who was having surgery, but now, both were laid low by the tainted chicken soup she had brought, making them both patients.

But this older woman was indeed resilient, fighting on despite severe illness.

She simply stayed by her husband’s bed, gritting her teeth and enduring.

Zhou Can felt both sympathy and helplessness towards the couple.

It was all due to her being clever by half and not following the doctor’s advice, inviting such a disaster.

Even after the problem arose, she still didn’t heed the doctors advice, hoping for the best.

To put it harshly, there’s sothing despicable about soone pitiful.

“Being infected with Salmonella doesn’t always depend on whether the body is strong. If your symptoms worsen further, I suggest you accept regular treatnt to avoid serious consequences. In so cases, people can fight it off, while others may experience worsening symptoms leading to sepsis, typhoid, or septicemia, and the mortality rate at that stage is very high.”

Zhou Can wasn’t just trying to scare her.

The disease varies from person to person.

So robust individuals deteriorate rapidly after infection and quickly die.

While so who seem frail manage to survive the illness.

It primarily depends on whether the body’s immune chanism can be activated in ti, especially the third level of immunity, whether helper cells can successfully activate a large number of inactive macrophages.

This is crucial.

If the body is extensively damaged by Salmonella, and the macrophages are still not fully activated, that becos dangerous.

A large number of cells killed by Salmonella can lead to necrosis of intestinal tissues.

At this stage, the pathological chanism is not unlike failing to amputate a necrotic limb in ti.

The prognosis would be very poor.

“I’ll think about it… thank you!”

The older woman remained unconvinced.

Her husband lay in the bed, just groaning to himself, ignoring everything around him.

Perhaps he simply didn’t want to deal with it.

If the wife is backward in thinking, the husband’s thoughts might not be any more progressive.

Zhou Can had fulfilled his duty as a doctor, and there was nothing he could do if the family mber didn’t listen.

Then, the older woman’s expression changed, she grabbed the half roll of tissue left on the bedside table, covering her stomach as she hurried outside.

One major symptom of Salmonella infection is diarrhea.

If you run too slow, you are bound to soil yourself.

Zhou Can helplessly shook his head and left the ward.

It was already ti to get off work, and he was ready to hand over to the on-call doctor and leave.

Ordinary residents often have to work overti, but he was given so leeway due to his unique status.

“Dr. Zhou is again taking care of my patients!”

At this mont, Dr. Yu Xin from the team walked briskly into the ward.

Her light footsteps indicated that she could leave early today.

After getting to know Zhou Can better, she no longer kept a cold face all to herself.

Now, just saying hello to Zhou Can was already quite rare.

“I just checked, and his condition has improved sowhat. His temperature hasn’t risen further, and he looks better than before. I estimate that by tomorrow morning, his abdominal pain and diarrhea will be much reduced.”

Zhou Can shared his views with her.

“Great!”

She surprisingly trusted Zhou Can’s diagnostic opinion.

Seeing him ntion the patient’s improvent brought a rare smile to her face, though it quickly disappeared.

Perhaps she wasn’t naturally inclined to smile.

“His condition is improving, but his wife’s situation is still unclear. When I arrived earlier, his wife was in severe abdominal pain and had already run to the bathroom because of diarrhea. I suggested she get a check-up and accept proper treatnt, but she wouldn’t listen. Maybe you can persuade her when you see her. This disease is worriso if it gets worse.”

Zhou Can also ntioned the patient’s wife to her.

Truly speaking out of deep concern for the older woman.

“I already tried to persuade her, but no luck! No worries, I’ll keep a close eye on her condition during my rounds, and if her condition worsens, I’ll persuade her to accept treatnt again. Maybe then she’ll listen.”

Yu Xin spoke of the older woman with a look of helplessness.

“Alright, I’ll finish docunting in the office and prepare to leave after handing over. Goodbye.”

Zhou Can didn’t dwell on it anymore.

He still had a lot on his plate.

He finished writing the dical records for several patients in his office and prepared to leave.

As he was leaving, he ran into Director Shang coming out of the director’s office, looking a bit upset.

“Director Shang, I’m off work!”

“Hmm! Be careful on the road. Tomorrow morning, we’ll perform an endoscopy on patient 71. When you arrive in the morning, rember to arrange it.”

Director Shang spoke kindly to Zhou Can.

“Great! Can the patient with parasites in the brain have surgery tomorrow?”

Zhou Can casually asked.

“It’s unlikely tomorrow. I just phoned general surgery to coordinate, and they said cranial surgeries should be directed to neurosurgery. Then I contacted the neurosurgery departnt for a joint treatnt, but the nurse on the call gave the runaround, which really infuriated .”

Director Shang seed genuinely angry, otherwise, he would not have ntioned it to his subordinate doctors.
