Customs vary from place to place.

In some tribes, for example, young women can "find a boyfriend" at will without being condemned, because it gives them a better chance of having a baby, and of course the spread of AIDS is wider.

Another example is that some women will make a plate on their lower lip, and whoever has a bigger plate and bigger lips, the more beautiful the woman will be.

This is actually a deformed aesthetic, the same as the old Burmese neck ring.

For example, many African tribal women are not taboo about exposing their bodies, no matter how old or young they are, they don't wear clothes, you can see what you want. But the only thing you can do is not let people touch your hair, thinking that this is "xin harassment", and other people's fathers, brothers or husbands will beat you to death.

When it comes to the tribal group to which Nguema belongs, one of their strange customs is that they attach great importance to the "valley road".

I even feel that the "valley road" is far more important than the "shade road".

For example, the alley is broken and dilapidated, which does not affect normal life, so it is not a big deal for familiar and unfamiliar men to go in and out.

But if the valley road is broken and broken, it will not be able to pull out the stool, and it will die.

The diet of primitive people is quite unbalanced, especially for Africans, you say that there are wild meat and wild boar meat that can be eaten, and even eaten soil, but there is a lack of vegetables, because they can't grow.

If there is no green leafy vegetables and fruits to eat for a long time, it will lead to dry stools and constipation, and people in the Middle Ages Europeans and Americans can buy "rhubarb", how can Africans have the money to trade?

In Nguema's tribe, many people are pisseled to death every year because they can't poop.

Some wild animals, such as jackals, like to attack the anus of their prey, and the rectum falls out so that the prey loses the ability to resist due to severe pain.

There is also a lot of wild animals in Africa, such as rhinoceros horns, elephant horns, wild fangs, etc., which are all dangerous. If you go hunting and are hit by these animals, you will be dead when you go back.

So I don't know when it began, the ancient African tribes circulated a custom.

It is believed that the valley road is the most important part of the human body, and there must be no damage, and it must not be easily touched, otherwise the life will be lost.

Nguema couldn't imagine that the "Gu Dao" of one of his unmarried daughters would be stabbed twice by such a long pipe, and it would be scary to think about it.

So the African chief chattered for a long time, in a word, against colonoscopy.

This made Chen Qi numb.

After all, the training before going abroad requires the members to respect the local customs and customs, and the principle is that the patient should not insist on the treatment if he does not agree.

If you don't insist, you don't know how to operate on any disease? And intestinal obstruction does not necessarily require surgery, maybe conservative treatment is also possible? Why bother with this knife.

The problem is that the premise of all this is to do a good job of examination, and the doctor has a good idea, so that the most correct treatment plan can be systematic.

Chen Qi kindly persuaded him for a long time, but Nguema just didn't listen and insisted on the customs of his tribe.

Chen Qi had no choice but to turn his head to the little girl on the hospital bed and said:

"Luciana, what should I do, your father didn't allow us to do the examination, which means that there is no way to operate on you, what do you think?"

Luchana was already in pain, and now he wanted to stop the pain quickly, whether you came with a knife or a stab.

So the tears flowed out at once, rubbed his hands together, and cried out in the common local gesture of begging:

"Dad, I don't want to die, please listen to the doctor, besides, people from other countries can do this colonoscopy, there is no reason why we Africans can't do it."

Chen Qi nodded again and again after hearing this, thinking that if a country wants to develop, it really needs to vigorously develop education, because young people are open-minded, more receptive to new things, and more able to lead the country to progress.

On the other hand, an old-fashioned man like Nguema is conservative and stubborn, and can easily become a stumbling block to the rolling torrent of history.

Sure enough, the pleading of the little padded jacket was different, and Nguema finally had to stomp his feet and agree.

Chen Qi didn't say a word, and after the nurse made preoperative preparations, he hurriedly poked the "gastrointestinal endoscope" into the valley, racing against time to save time, and did not care about Director Hu who had murderous eyes on the side.

At the beginning of the examination, the examination room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the TV screen.

The colonoscope had only been in for a long time, and everyone approached the picture tube, and then they all let out a "huh" question.

Yi Zewen asked strangely, "Dean Chen, what is this?" Why is there a thick white line in the patient's intestines? ”

Chen Qi also felt strange, originally he suspected that it was a parasite, and felt that even if he saw the scene, it should be a dense network of small insects, just like the roundworm intestinal obstruction he did in Hengluli Commune back then.

Fish out a basin of roundworms and ask you if you are disgusting.

As a result, this African patient did not see roundworms or any other worms in his intestines, just such a white, invisible "thick line", which made Chen Qi a little doubtful that his previous diagnosis was correct?

As the colonoscope walked towards the colon little by little, Director Hu suddenly reminded:

"Dean Chen, wait, look here, a second thick white line has appeared here, this is not right."

Before Chen Qi could answer, Chen Li next to him exclaimed:

"No, no, this rope moves, it moves, you see, it's slowly twisting."

The gastroscope has been moving forward before, so everyone didn't observe this situation, but now the lens is still, and if you look closely, you can see that the thick white line is actually slowly squirming.

Chen Qi and Director Hu glanced at each other and said in unison: "This is a parasite." ”

But what kind of parasite will grow into a long thread?

After all, Chen Qi is not a professional who can't figure this out, maybe his wife Lan Lijuan knows, after all, parasites are also infectious diseases, but people are not in front of them.

"Xiao Yi, hurry up, go to the book, check what parasites are very long? The color is still white. ”

"How long?"

"At least more than 1 meter."

"Hiss~~~"

Many of the doctors in the examination room gasped, only Nguema was a little puzzled, what were these doctors hissing?

The patient, Luciana, was already in a cold sweat because of colonoscopy and abdominal pain, and he didn't pay attention to the sudden situation here.

Yi Zewen hurriedly found parasitology, then quickly flipped through the catalog, and finally clicked on "tapeworms".

The book says: tapeworm is a huge intestinal parasite, the body length of ordinary adult worms can reach several meters, adult parasites in vertebrates, and larvae mainly parasitize in non-vertebrates or crests as intermediate hosts.

The appearance of tapeworms, the dorsal and ventral body of the adult is flattened, symmetrical left and right, mostly segmented, long as a ribbon, without mouth and digestive tract, lacking body cavity, except for a very few, all are hermaphroditic, often autofertilized.

When people eat pork, beef or fish with tapeworms that have not been properly cooked, tapeworms can enter the human body and parasitize. Once the tapeworm enters the intestine, it embeds its head into the intestinal wall. It then sucks nutrients from the intestinal wall to grow long enough.

This kind of parasite is very good, adults can generally grow to one or two meters, and 4 meters and 5 meters are also common.

There is a museum of parasites where tapeworms are 8.8 meters long.

On the world record, the longest tapeworm can reach 22 meters, which can simply scare a person to death, and I don't know why this insect can grow so long.

At first glance, the long worm in Luciana's stomach now resembles a tapeworm.

Chen Qi was relieved that there was no problem with his diagnosis, that is, the worm was not roundworm as he imagined.

The colonoscopy continued to push inward, and finally, the obstruction was found at the bend of the transverse colon and the descending colon, which is anatomically called the "left curvature of the colon".

At this time, everyone staring at the screen was cold, and Chen Li and Yang Xiuxiu felt that their whole body was coming.

I saw countless long worms on the screen, just like knotted woolen balls, blocking the intestines tightly.

Especially after the camera is fixed, these long worms slowly begin to squirm collectively, and the scene is as desperate as the squeaking sound of a fingernail sliding through the glass.

Director Hu slapped his thigh excitedly:

"Ah, here, plug it, good girl, so many parasites, did this little girl usually grow up eating insects?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone's eyes looked at the black girl lying on her side on the hospital bed, and their eyes were full of sympathy.

Chen Qi pouted:

"You don't know, but I've been to their village, where they eat raw meat, drink raw water, live in thatched huts, and sleep on hard mud floors.

Everyone nodded in unison, the medical staff are more or less a little clean.

Even Nguema nodded, because he didn't understand what the Chinese doctors were talking about, and he felt that he was right to nod his head along with it.

Yi Zewen asked at this time, "Dean Chen, what should we do next?" ”

"The next thing is surgery, let's see the condition of the intestines, if it is not badly eaten by worms, just take out the parasites and suture them. If the intestine has collapsed, only a part of it can be cut off for intestinal anastomosis, and the operation will be troublesome. ”

Nguema, the chief of the village's dominant branch, suddenly became a bit submissive in the Friendship Hospital.

"Chen, Dr. Chen, how is my daughter? Will it die? ”

Chen Qi made a knife cut on Luciana's stomach:

"The intestines are blocked by worms, here, you have to cut it, take out the worms, and let the intestines pass through, so that it can save her life."

Nguema sat down on the ground in fright, and let the little natives of the place imagine slicing open people's stomachs, which was like the devil, and this kind of thing was only done when their ancestors were hungry.

"Cut open the belly, can you still live? Isn't that like killing a sheep? Woo woo woo ~~~~"

Chen Qi really wanted to laugh, so he could only patiently explain:

"Don't worry, we will sew up the intestines and stomach, just like sewing clothes, and after more than ten days, we will be fully recovered, and then little Luchana will be alive again."

"Really?"

"Really, our Huaguo doctors are not old people in the moldy country, and they won't lie to people."

Nguema was excited when he heard that his daughter was saved, and he also let go:

"Okay, you cut my daughter's belly, does it cost a lot of money? I don't have any money, but I have a lot of sheep, and I'll go back and pull them right away. ”

The indigenous people of Africa are still quite straightforward, and they do not hesitate to decide, and they are not prepared to default on medical bills at all, which is much better than some people.

The family agreed, the cause was found out, and it was an emergency operation, and everyone immediately began to act.

When the parasites in a sterile basin full of parasites were removed and still alive, the uproar spread throughout the camp.

Huaguo doctors usually have little entertainment, and now there is such gossip of course they will not miss it, so they all gathered around.

There are many parasite patients in Haidong Province, but there are relatively few diseases, the most common is schistosomiasis, and ascariasis, for this kind of long parasite, many doctors are seeing it for the first time.

Mao from Wuzhou is obviously an extroverted little girl, others are so frightened when they see this parasite that they lie to the side, she doesn't.

Not only did he not hide, but he was still beckoning people:

"Come on, come on, don't run, where are the old men hiding, go get the circle ruler, let's measure how long this parasite is, obediently."

While a group of young doctors were still studying the "pig tapeworm", Piette happened to come to visit his friend who was the village chief.

He saw a group of people around the operating room, and Africans were also very gossipy, so Piette also leaned in to see what was inside?

I don't know if I don't know, but I was scared a lot when I saw him:

"Fack, where did such a long guinea worm come from?"

Mao Ming didn't know English, and he was upset when he heard a black man standing next to him exaggerated and excited:

"What's the noise? Do you want to eat it? After a while, you will be given a stir-fry dish, and you will have banana wine, just right. ”

Hahaha~~~~~ a group of people around laughed.

Piette didn't understand what the Chinese girl was saying, but excitedly pointed to one of the longest insects that everyone was measuring and shouted:

"It's so long, it's so long, it's definitely a record-breaking, it's the longest guinea worm I've ever seen."

After the translation said this, a group of little doctors also looked at each other, Mao Mingming held the circle ruler, looked at the morning son on the ground and shouted in surprise:

"It's amazing, it's amazing, we accidentally found the best in the world, hurry up, measure how long."

After a while, there was a burst of cheering: "2.6m, 2.6m, Piette, how long do you know the longest guinea worm?" ”

"1.2 meters, the longest is gone, Fack, take a picture, this can apply for the Guinness Book of World Records."

Chen Qi had already changed into a surgical gown at this time, but he shook his head when he heard Piette's words:

"No, no, no, since we have broken the world record, we should make a project, and it is useful to apply for a Guinness World Record."
