Chapter 59: Ticks are ferocious

Xu Zhuo's eyes flashed, the focus was shortened and farther away, and he didn't need to check it, he suddenly saw it clearly, and immediately said to Dr. Zhang: "It's a tick!"

"Oh" Dr. Zhang suddenly looked solemn, stood up, picked up a flashlight and a magnifying glass, and came over to check the little boy, and when he saw it, it was indeed a tick, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Zhuo in surprise

In retrospect, in fact, Xu Zhuo gave him a lot of surprises, Dr. Zhang faintly felt that Xu Zhuo should have a little special ability, this ability, or called talent, is the most suitable, to be a doctor, is a good seedling! This is also the reason why Zhang Kaiyuan devoted himself to cultivating Xu Zhuo!

"Dr. Zhang, since the tick is next to the child's eye, the ordinary method may have sequelae, I think it is better to use disinfectant alcohol for local anesthesia first!" Xu Zhuo quickly came up with a solution, and he had a lot of ideas If he bites the skin of ordinary parts, it will be much easier to deal with, but if it bites on the eyelids, it needs to be paid special attention because the eyes are the windows of the human soul, and there are only two of them, once they are damaged, they may be ruined for a lifetime, unlike the arms and legs, and there will be no big problem after being cured by a few cuts with a knife

"You can do the anesthesia work, and if you take it later, I will do it myself," Dr. Zhang said

Immediately, Xu Zhuo began to disinfect the child's eyelids with disinfectant alcohol, because it was very close to the eyes, it was inevitable that the eyes would be irritated and painful, and the little boy kept howling and struggling, Xu Zhuo motioned to the child's parents to comfort and hold the child's head

"Doctor, what is a tick, my child is fine, why is there a sudden worm on the eyelid?" the child's father put his arm around the child's head, fixed it, and did not let him move, while asking anxiously with a worried face

Dr. Zhang motioned to Xu Zhuo to explain, and Xu Zhuo was also examined

Xu Zhuowei groaned, and immediately talked eloquently: "Tick is a very small arachnid tick subclass tick subclass tick parasite of the general family of ticks, only about the size of a matchstick head, also known as ticks, ticks, ticks, grass reptiles, this kind of worm, lives in forests, bushes, open pastures, grasslands, mountains of the soil of the medium soft ticks mostly inhabit the enclosures of domestic animals, the caves of wild animals, In the crevices of the bird's nest and the human room, it is a parasite that sucks blood, and when it does not suck blood, it is only the size of a grain of rice, but when it sucks up blood, it may rise to the size of a fingernail."

As soon as these words came out, the child's parents were immediately scared silly

Xu Zhuo said: "I'm not alarmist, just tell the truth, it's winter, covered with snow, the possibility of infection in the wild is not very likely, I guess your family may have some cats and dogs and other pets, most of the ticks on children's eyelids are this parasite from pets, hosts include mammals, birds, Reptiles and amphibians, most of them feed on blood, and the bite will cause inflammation at the puncture wound at the same time, and the ticks often have a certain selectivity in the parasitic parts of the host, generally in the parts where the skin is thin and not easy to be scratched, such as the whole groove Ixodes dives parasitize on the neck, behind the ears, axillary 'fossa, big 'leg' inside', 'yin' and ventral 'femur' groove of animals or people, and the tiny ticks are mostly parasitic on the neck of the cow, the 'vertical and milk' room, and the second is the shoulder blade."

Xu Zhuo talked eloquently, Dr. Zhang bowed his head slightly in approval, and some other waiting patients on the side also turned their heads to each other, indicating that they had gained knowledge, and at the same time, Xu Zhuo also admired the doctor's profession very much

"Then, what should I do, doctor, it's okay to take it, it's been anesthetized for so long!"

"Don't be impatient," Xu Zhuo comforted, and continued to brush the disinfectant alcohol, in fact, he was also very anxious, this disease is actually very dangerous, because ticks will produce neurotoxins, and it may lead to multiple organ failure and even death due to systemic coagulation dysfunction

Now, after sucking the blood for so long, the tick has grown from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a soybean

Although it was urgent, the tick was really difficult to deal with, and there were many barbs that were tightly hooked to the little boy's eyelids, and the hooks were very tight, at the edge of the eyes, which was not easy to handle

Those barbs, in fact, are not real barbs, but the mouthparts of the creature of the tick, its mouthparts are divided into two sides of the foot and the middle of the hanging lip, if enlarged, it looks like a hook, firmly "hooked" the human body, sucking blood, will not be lightly released because of anesthesia, some ticks even after death, its barb-like mouthparts will not be released, it can be called "rather die than yield"!

"Doctor, is it okay?" the patient's family urged again

Dr. Zhang said, "Either you don't have a general anesthesia and prepare for surgery, but in that case, you will need to cut a millimeter or two of superficial tissue from the eyelid, and it won't have much impact."

If the barb is not loose, it is impossible to take out incompletely, as long as it is left a little inside, there is a great risk, because the tick is very "dirty", there are many smaller parasites, pathogenic bacteria "hidden" in the body of the tick, once invaded into the human body, the consequences are unimaginable There may be some pathogenic bacteria, and human beings have no way to treat it

For example, the ** that once ravaged the world, the original source was from wildlife

"Ah, no, no, no," the child's mother said in her heart, my beautiful and handsome son, if a piece of his eyelid is cut off, although it is only one or two millimeters, but it will also affect the aesthetics, if the doctor's hand shakes, and the scalpel accidentally cuts my son's eye, it will not be ruined! Even if it does not hurt the eyes, what should I do if I leave such a scar and break the appearance, and how will I find a beautiful girlfriend in the future

Dr. Zhang said, "It's okay, it's a small piece, and it will grow up automatically."

The patient's family suddenly hesitated, still a little unconvinced

Xu Zhuo said at this time: "Doctor Zhang, don't give me five minutes again, I will try to succeed!"

The patient's family also agreed, and Dr. Zhang had nothing more to say, and motioned for Xu Zhuo to work hard

A minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, and the tick almost "ignored it" Xu Zhuo, still firmly hooked on the little boy's eyelids, Xu Zhuo's heart was anxious, his eyes flashed, the cyan air flow rotated, and suddenly a very fine heat flow, like a laser, shot out like a laser, and suddenly shot on the body of the tick, very accurate, did not hurt the child's eyes at all, the process was extremely fast, the lightning and stone fire were indescribable, and even Xu Zhuo himself did not react for a while, and when he experienced that feeling again, that ability had long since disappeared

Moreover, the kind of heat flow that was shot just now, something like a laser, was transparent and invisible, and if it weren't for Xu Zhuo himself, others wouldn't have noticed it at all

"It's another kind of ability that doesn't work from time to time" Xu Zhuo was a little speechless, now he was concentrating on curing the disease, and he didn't have time to think about it, Xu Zhuo looked at the tick on the little boy's eyelids, and saw that the tick had already been "crispy" and soft, and the hooks were completely loosened, and some of the tendencies slipped out, Xu Zhuo quickly picked up the stainless steel tweezers, and gently clamped it, and pulled out the entire tick!

Placed on the tray and looked at it with a magnifying glass, I saw that the tick's body was intact, and not even a small part of the body was left in the little boy's body

The "operation" was a complete success!

Dr. Zhang originally thought that he would play in person, but he didn't expect Xu Zhuo to do it so easily, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and give a thumbs up!

"Okay, little brother, don't cry, it's over!" Xu Zhuo comforted the little boy and gently turned his head with his arm, because he hadn't washed his hands yet, so it was not good to touch the little boy's head casually

"Thank you, doctor, thank you!" the patient thanked again and again

Xu Zhuo prescribed two more boxes of medicine, and went back to consolidate it, so as not to get infected, of course, it was Dr. Zhang's account, he himself was not qualified to prescribe medicine, and after the prescription was issued, it was also reviewed by Dr. Zhang

Because Xu Zhuo has shown extraordinary ability, and the patient's family has not bothered about his identity as an intern, it is not surprising that many hospitals now have interns involved in the work

Subsequently, Xu Zhuo also explained some precautions to the patient's family, such as taking the pet at home for a comprehensive examination, cleaning the pet frequently, and after the child and the pet are in close contact, we must remember to check whether there are ticks on the body. Smooth, long-sleeved clothing, plus spraying insect repellent on exposed skin, and seek medical attention in case of a bite
