043 Parasitism
The next day, Zhang Hao woke up, the house was still empty, and Luo Xiao still hadn't come back.
Zhang Hao tried to call her, but the phone was still turned off, and he was worried again. Luo Xiao had never spent the night alone except for Qi Youlin's before, but now that Qi Youlin is missing, it is impossible for Luo Xiao to run to her house by herself, so where will she go?
Zhang Hao was worried and anxious, but he couldn't find anyone to help, Luo Xiao's classmates and friends have also been estranged over the years, and Luo Xiao couldn't run to them.
Suddenly remembering that he had to go to the hospital today, Zhang Hao had to ask for a leave of absence again, and rushed to the hospital after eating breakfast casually.
When I arrived at the hospital, I went straight to Wang Yanfei's office, and I wanted to quickly ask what was going on so that I could go to find Luo Xiao again, but after seeing Wang Yanfei, she made Zhang Hao stand on the spot with a word.
"Luo Xiao was with me last night." Wang Yanfei said calmly.
Zhang Hao stayed with his mouth open for a long time before asking, "...... she?" Why did she run away from you? No matter how much Zhang Hao thought about it, he would never have imagined that Luo Xiao would run to Wang Yanfei's house, in his impression, Luo Xiao and Wang Yanfei were just doctors and patients, and they didn't seem to have much personal relationship.
Wang Yanfei said: "Well, in fact, she came to me to ask me about my condition, because it was too late for me to stay with her." You guys...... Was there a quarrel? I was going to call you last night to tell you about it, but she said no. ”
"Quarrel? No, yesterday, yesterday she didn't seem to be in a good mood, I ...... in the evening I went out to run some errands, and when I came back, I found that she was gone, and the phone was turned off, so I looked for her all night. You said she went to ask about the condition? Don't...... She already knows? ”
Wang Yanfei said with a straight face: "I came to you today, in fact, I just want to talk about this." She came to the hospital yesterday afternoon, and I've told her everything I need to say, but ...... Her condition was very different from my initial diagnosis. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Hao didn't understand what Wang Yanfei meant, what does it mean that there is a big difference? Could it be a misdiagnosis? But I have also seen Luo Xiao's film with my own eyes, such a big shadow, even if it is a misdiagnosis, what can it be? It can't be a malfunction of the hospital's equipment, right?
"I mean, Luo Xiao's condition is not what I was originally diagnosed, which means she doesn't have a brain tumor, but ...... Her case is actually more complicated than a brain tumor. Wang Yanfei said as he took out the latest inspection report and handed it to Zhang Hao, so that he could read it for himself and have a general understanding.
Although Zhang Hao is not a medical student, he is a highly educated person after all, and he also understands the structure of the human body, so these reports can basically be understood. However, he only looked at a few pages and found the problem, and looked up at Wang Yanfei suspiciously: "Parasitic brain? What do you mean? ”
"It's literal." Wang Yanfei pointed to the shadow on the X-ray that occupied one-third of Luo Xiao's brain and said: "This shadow has always been mistaken for a tumor before, but in fact, it is ...... This is a separate piece of brain tissue. ”
"Independent Brain...... You mean, Luo Xiao has two brains? Zhang Hao had already had this guess after reading the report just now, but this was too unbelievable to be believed.
Wang Yanfei nodded affirmatively: "Although it is very incredible, it is actually like this." You should know that there is a congenital malformation called parasitic fetus, which is the parasitism of an incomplete fetus on another fetus, or it may be parasitism of part of the organs. Originally, parasitic fetuses were very rare, and Luo Xiao's situation was even rarer, with only one brain parasitic in her head. ”
Zhang Hao listened to Wang Yanfei's explanation, and only felt dumbfounded, his wife Luo Xiao turned out to be a congenital malformation, a parasitic fetus with two brains? This...... This is even more unacceptable than the fact that she has a brain tumor.
Wang Yanfei continued: "If it weren't for my teacher watching the film, I wouldn't have thought about it at all. Originally, I wanted to call her over for a closer examination last week, but she went to Lijiang and had to wait for her to come back to do the examination, and the result was the same as she had guessed. ”
Zhang Hao was shocked when he heard this: "Do you know that she went to Lijiang? ”
"You know, I called her that day, and she told me, what?" Wang Yanfei was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Zhang Hao's reaction was so big.
Zhang Hao hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I thought it was ...... She didn't tell anyone. By the way, where is she now? ”
"She walked with me in the morning, and she said she went to the supermarket to buy something and went home, and she probably got home now."
Zhang Hao finally relaxed a little, looked at the pile of examination reports in his hand again, and said, "Then since she is not a brain tumor, this situation is ...... How should I treat it? ”
"At present, we can't determine the treatment plan, if it is parasitic other organs, we can choose to remove it, but Luo Xiao is parasitic about the brain...... That's a tough one. ”
Zhang Hao asked, "Brain, can't it also be removed?" I see that there are many people who have half of their brains removed and are still alive like normal people. ”
Wang Yanfei shook his head: "That's just a last resort, and it's for ordinary people." Luo Xiao's situation is a little more complicated because...... We now speculate that the brain parasitic on her head has become self-conscious, or has always been self-conscious. ”
Zhang Hao was stunned again: "What...... What do you mean? Are you saying that there are two people in Luo Xiao's mind? "After all, he is a smart person, and he gets to the point at once.
Wang Yanfei nodded and said, "It's just speculation, but there is a lot of evidence to prove it, such as brain wave map." The most important thing is her usual performance, such as the changes in her personality in the recent past, abnormal behavior, and so on. ”
When Zhang Hao heard Wang Yanfei say this, two words instantly appeared in his mind: "Luo You! ”
At this moment, it seems that many things that were originally incomprehensible can be smoothed out, and even the signature on the painting has a reasonable explanation, which is neither painted by Zhang Hao nor Luo Xiao, but painted by another person "Luo You" parasitic in Luo Xiao's head!
Zhang Hao felt a little cold on his body, everything Wang Yanfei said had already greatly exceeded his expectations, and even made him unacceptable. Especially thinking of Luo Xiao, who has been in the same bed for many days and nights, there is actually another person in his head, which is ...... It's chilling!
She ...... Does she already know that? ”
Wang Yanfei said: "Yes, I already told her all about the situation yesterday, because the situation is too special, and she still needs her own cooperation to study a good treatment plan." ”
