Chapter 6 You don't want to ruin your career, do you?
Dewey, who was suddenly called by House, was not the slightest surprise.
He straightened out his thoughts and said:
"Pork is really a common food.
However, if the pork is not cooked for enough time, the tapeworm larvae that may be present on the pork will enter the digestive system.
They have small hooks on their bodies, which can be adsorbed on the intestinal wall, parasitizing, growing, and reproducing......"
Before Du Wei finished speaking, Chase shook his head and interrupted:
"No, boy, you're not right.
You've said it yourself that they go into the digestive system.
Rebecca's disease appears in the head, not in the intestines, and you don't always tell me that the intestinal disease affects the brain stem, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the rest of the people looked at Du Wei to see how he explained this.
Du Wei smiled, and did not panic because of Chase's questioning, but continued to say confidently:
"Because this is not a typical case, tapeworms can lay 20,000 to 30,000 eggs in a day.
Usually these eggs will leave the body with excretion, but there will always be fish that slip through the net.
Unlike mature larvae, these unhatched eggs are able to pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body.
As long as the eggs are healthy, the body's immune system will not reject them, but will recognize them as one of them.
The eggs hatch into larvae, which in turn can evade immune surveillance and control the flow of body fluids by secreting special substances.
In this way, tapeworms can survive anywhere in the human body, so there is a small probability that tapeworms will appear in the brain.
Because of this, intracranial pressure is increased by cysticercosis caused by tapeworms.
Clinical manifestations such as headache, vomiting, aphasia, and epilepsy will also manifest themselves one by one. ”
After listening to Du Wei's words, Furman chuckled, glanced at Chase, and said meaningfully:
"You intern do have something, now I'm sure you can handle an outpatient patient.
But what do you want to do next? Would you like to get a veterinarian to kill the tapeworm? ”
Du Wei shook his head:
"There's no need to be so troublesome, we just need to get her to take albendafin (a high-efficiency and low-toxicity broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug) on time before the tapeworm dies."
Cameron, who had been listening, suddenly asked:
"What if the tapeworm is dying?"
Du Wei spread his hands and said:
"Then it's troublesome, when the tapeworm dies, its corpse will no longer have the ability to trick the immune system's monitoring.
The immune system will work again and try to devour the tapeworm corpses in the brain.
The resulting high temperatures will be fatal to the brain. ”
Bang Bang Bang!
A round of applause came.
None other than House.
"Little guy, yes, the analysis is very good, I will take care of the outpatient matter just now.
Alright, Cameron, tell Rebecca the results and give her medication. ”
Outpatient?
Chase's heart moved, and sure enough, there was something wrong with Du Wei's outpatient clinic.
He glanced at Furman, whose face was beginning to turn cloudy, with a smirk, as if he had won in the end.
Then he asked, pretending to be inadvertent:
"Did something happen to the outpatient clinic? Is Du Wei in trouble? ”
House smiled when he heard the inquiry, and his expression was very playful:
"The problem is that there is nothing wrong with it, he is diagnosing correctly, and even diagnosing something more.
I also told the other party's wife about having an affair, and the person was complaining about him in the dean's office at this time. ”
The smile on Chase's face froze instantly, and with a wry smile, he handed the $20 bill to the smiling Furman.
He never expected that the outpatient problem that House said was not about diagnosis, but about the patient's private life.
It doesn't look like Dewey is not doing well enough, but he is doing too well.
Listening to House's hidden meaning, it would be a pity that Du Wei didn't want to be a private detective with this talent.
Why hadn't he discovered that this intern had this kind of talent before?
Otherwise, you won't lose the bet.
Chase shook his head, no more thoughts.
At this moment, Cameron, who was in charge of informing Rebecca of the diagnosis, walked out with a solemn face.
Sensing the abnormality, House immediately asked:
"What's wrong?"
Cameron hesitated for a moment but said truthfully:
"She doesn't believe you anymore, she doesn't want to use medicine, and would rather wait to die."
House was stunned for a moment, and after pacing back and forth a few times, he finally made up his mind.
He said to the crowd, 'I'll persuade her,' and then pushed the door open and entered the room.
He wants to use his experience to persuade Rebecca to respect life and not give up easily.
Furman glanced at House's back and asked Dewey:
"Boy, you have so many methods in your head, what are you going to do if House's persuasion fails?"
Du Wei glanced at Rebecca in the glass room, his eyes full of pity.
Because he can fully empathize with Rebecca's current state of mind.
He's been in a situation like Rebecca more than once.
So he almost spoke his heart as a former brain cancer patient:
"She doesn't really want to die, she just doesn't trust us anymore, and she's afraid that hope will turn into despair again, and she's afraid that we will be tossed to death again.
The physical and mental pain caused by that would be easier than just dying.
So what we have to do is really convince her that there are tapeworms in her body. ”
Furman smiled, this intern really had a set of theories when it came to them.
But the most crucial method is not spoken.
If House can't do it, he's still going to have to figure it out as his right-hand man:
"You're wrong, we don't need her to believe it, all we need is a warrant from the court.
Suffice it to say that she was mentally affected and unable to make her own decisions, and the court would uphold our application.
Then it will be enough to give her compulsory medication. ”
Cameron's eyes lit up, and he also said supportively:
Indeed, in the face of such a life-threatening situation, we need only say that the disease has deranged her.
I'm sure she could have understood how painstaking it was to do so. ”
Listening to the increasingly outrageous speeches of the three assistants of House in front of him, Du Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Furman keenly noticed this white eye, and the favorability that had just risen because Du Wei won the money for him disappeared in an instant.
His gaze was staring straight at Du Wei:
"What? Do you want to insist that she believes that she is sick because of tapeworms?
So what do you have to say? Or how do you prove it? ”
Seeing that Furman had found Du Wei again, Cameron frowned slightly and stopped:
"Furman, he's just an intern, I don't know it's normal."
Furman sneered, and began to teach Du Wei a lesson:
"It's okay not to know, but it's not right to roll your eyes there instead of listening to us with an open mind.
Don't think you're lucky enough to get your tail up to the sky once or twice.
Remember, you're still an intern, not a real doctor yet!
Like I once said, Lady Luck won't be there for you forever.
You're not a house, and if you make a mistake once, you'll be blacklisted by the entire industry.
If you want to survive here, you have to learn to listen to your predecessors!
You don't want your career to be ruined, do you? ”
