Chapter 56: African Narcolepsy from Out of Marriage (5000)

Du Wei, who pricked the needle, didn't feel anything.

This time, the new targeted therapy is targeting targets at the genetic level.

In other words, for the time being, Du Wei did not feel the effect of it.

But after almost a good night's sleep, you should feel the same thing.

Wearing an eye patch and headphones, Du Wei finally fell asleep two hours later.

This night, Du Wei did not sleep peacefully.

His entire dream was a fight with people, so much so that when he woke up, the sweat had soaked the entire sheets.

But Du Wei, who was sweating at night, did not feel unwell, but felt that his mind was no longer as groggy as before.

It's a lot better now than it was last night.

Probably the state he was in when he first came to this world.

This means that the effects of the new targeted drugs are already beginning to be felt.

There should have been quite a few cancer cells that died in last night's confrontation.

It's a pity that the gold coins on his body are only enough for him to take this injection, and if he still wants to use it, Du Wei will have to work hard to earn gold coins.

And there is no other way for such things as gold coins to take on tasks.

No, no, there's another way.

That is, the killer who assassinated the Continental Hotel outside, and then found the place where he hid the gold coins and stole them.

However, this method of obtaining gold can be very difficult.

Using John as a reference, it is clear that the killers still attach great importance to the value of gold coins.

John, for example, would hide his gold coins under the concrete, and who would have thought of this if he hadn't known in advance.

So instead of risking the assassinations of those killers, it is better to accept the medical mission honestly.

Speaking of which, he still has seven medical missions to take over this month.

As for stealing John's gold coins, Du Wei still remembers what happened to the last guy who stole the car.

Du Wei shook his head and gave up on this unreliable idea.

Rather than this, it is better to try to get Finch to contact Bayer Pharma to see if it is more reliable to obtain new targeted drugs through the ability of money.

After texting Finch, Dewey began to get up and wash up, he still had his job to do.

Working in the hospital is an important channel for Dewey to achieve a stable lifespan.

Until another way to steadily gain longevity, Dewey will certainly not quit his job.

Soon, the well-dressed Du Wei returned to the familiar hospital.

Smelling the clear smell of disinfectant between his mouth and nose, Du Wei caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Cameron hurried towards the diagnostic department with a medical record book in hand.

Du Wei realized that something unusual must have happened, and he quickly followed and greeted:

"Good morning, Cameron, what are you holding in your hand?"

Cameron raised the medical record in his hand and said with some solemnity:

"A very sleepy patient has been sleeping an average of 18 hours a day since she was admitted to the emergency room.

Three emergency physicians, two neurologists, and a radiologist have ruled out the cause of clinical depression.

As for the real cause, they couldn't find out.

And they were afraid of being ridiculed by Dr. House's yin and yang weirdness for their incompetence, so they kept dragging it out.

I had no choice but to try to ask House. ”

After listening to this, Du Wei had a rough idea in his heart, and he nodded:

"You've made the right choice, rest assured, House will be interested in this case.

What about her blood tests? ”

Cameron rolled out the medical report and walked into the elevator:

"The blood test showed no inflammation, everything was normal, and there was no explanation for her lethargy and irritability.

However, she had occasional seizures and seemed to have an infection in her nerve center. ”

"So is it possible that she was infected with a parasite, which caused drowsiness and seizures?

For example, African trypanosomiasis, a type of somnollotic encephalitis, in the terminal stage of the disease almost all parasites are in the brain, so they do not show up on the cerebrospinal fluid picture. ”

Cameron shook his head:

"But the patient has never been to Africa or the tropics, and her husband has no history of living in Africa, so it is impossible for her to suffer from this African sleep disease."

"What about blood transfusions? What about poisoning? Have these been ruled out? ”

Cameron shook his head again:

She has never been exposed to blood transfusions, and her workplace is a back kitchen and the environment is in line with the Health Bureau's regulations.

Besides, even if it was poisoning, it shouldn't be her alone.

So that's the strange part, her lethargy seems to be a new case that has never been seen before. ”

"Is it possible that the parasite was transmitted through another channel, such as sex?"

Hearing this, Cameron glanced back at Du Wei in surprise, and quickly denied:

"No way, they love each other deeply, I can see in their eyes how much they love each other."

Regarding Cameron's judgment, Du Wei just smiled and did not speak.

They had arrived in the conference room of the diagnostic department, and he gave his diagnosis.

All that's left is House's order to confirm it.

House, who had slipped back from the clinic to rest, was initially reluctant to take on the case, which was not obviously unusual.

It wasn't until Cameron told House about his and Dewey's judgments that House had an interested look on his face.

"Interesting, she had a fever in the early stage, right, that can indeed rule out the possibility of clinical depression.

Those doctors really didn't make a diagnostic error.

In my judgment, she may have a very small tumor in her brain or what Du Wei called a parasitic disease.

Arrange for her to have an MRI and a 2-millimeter midbrain scan.

In addition, you have a conversation with your husband and wife separately and ask them if they have committed infidelity in their marriages that has led to the spread of disease.

Okay, I'm going to the clinic and I'll be back to hear the results. ”

Cameron opened his mouth to stop House, but finally shut up.

Then she looked at Du Wei:

"I still don't believe that one of them would betray the marriage with such affection?"

Du Wei shrugged:

"In marriage, there is always a time when there is a quarrel, and in a fit of anger, go to a bar, a hotel or a neighbor or something, and carry out a kind of physical revenge.

Although it is a small probability event, a similar situation still occurs.

So are you asking a husband or a wife? ”

Cameron shook his head, still not quite believing Dewey's words.

She had seen the eyes of the two of them looking at each other, and the love was so strong that it was almost dripping.

Will such a couple crack because of the quarrel and thus do irrational things?

She didn't believe it.

"I'll ask the woman, it's easier to communicate between people of the same sex."

Du Wei nodded, of course he understood Cameron's thoughts.

It cannot be ruled out that there are faithful marriages in the world, but at the moment it is clear that this case is not applicable.

How strong the love is, how deep the hatred is when we quarrel.

In that extreme case, it's easy to do something that both of you regret.

Subsequently, Du Wei called out her husband, who was inseparable from the bedside.

Cameron was left alone to communicate with the patients in the room.

Looking at the tired face in front of him, like a man who hadn't slept well for several days and nights, Du Wei asked routinely:

"Based on the pre-existing symptoms, we suspect that your lady has African narcolepsy or a tumor.

If she is not treated as soon as possible, both could be fatal. ”

"Africa? Why do you get African narcolepsy? Can't you just get a diagnosis? ”

The husband asked, puzzled.

Du Wei smiled and signaled him not to worry.

"Because we suspect that you are hiding something from your past experiences, I want you to answer me truthfully with a few questions.

This will be very helpful in diagnosing the condition. ”

The husband nodded:

"Ask, and I will know everything and make sure it is true."

Du Wei took out his notes and began to ask:

"Did your wife have any other illnesses before she developed sleep symptoms?"

"No, I've been away from her for a night at most, and I'll definitely notice if there are other symptoms."

Du Wei nodded and asked the next big question:

"Another issue may involve privacy, but for the sake of your wife's life, I hope you don't hide it.

Because your answer is related to whether your wife can be properly treated.

So...... Have you ever cheated? ”

The husband's face was stunned for a moment, and then changed several times.

He immediately realized something.

He looked back at his wife, who was talking to Cameron in the glass hospital room, and a look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, he turned his head and whispered:

"No, I could never do that to her, because I love her.

Even if there is a quarrel, I will take the initiative to admit my mistakes and never let her get hurt in any way. ”

Du Wei then asked the next sentence of the heart:

"And what about her? There's nothing wrong with that.

For example, on a weekend when you are not at home, why does she not answer your phone call, and afterwards says that she missed the call because of her fitness?

Or did you run away to a so-called 'friend' house because of a quarrel and only came back the next day?

Or is it a boring Christmas party where you've all drunk too much and lost consciousness and woke up in bed?

If you are sure that there is nothing wrong with your wife, then I apologize to you for the above problem.

But if there's the slightest possibility, then you'll have to let us start the treatment, or she'll die. ”

The husband's pupils contracted suddenly, and he faintly realized in his heart that his wife might have really done something sorry for him.

But why is that?

He closed his eyes in agony and chose to be silent.

And Du Wei, who was sitting opposite him, closed the notebook in his hand, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Cameron, who came out of the ward, looked relaxed, and she said happily to Du Wei:

"She said she didn't."

Looking at Cameron's smiling face, Du Wei couldn't bear to break Cameron's joy for a while, so he could only say perfunctorily:

"Eun, her husband also said he didn't, let's see the results of the MRI first."

After getting the result from Du Wei's mouth, Cameron walked a little briskly.

There was an atmosphere of joy all over the body.

She said, how can two people who love each other hurt each other.

African narcolepsy is simply nonsense.

Soon, the four of them gathered in the conference room of the diagnostic department.

House first called up the results of the MRI.

There was no abnormality in the MRI results, and it can be concluded that it is not the effect of the tumor.

Tumors that don't show up on an MRI will only be smaller than sand.

Tumors of this size can not affect the body's functions.

House then looked up at Dewey and Cameron.

Two possible diagnoses were previously proposed, since the tumor was ruled out, what about African narcolepsy?

Seeing House looking, Cameron spoke first:

"We asked, and both of them said they hadn't cheated on them."

House frowned:

"That's troublesome, it's like we're back to square one."

At this moment, Du Wei suddenly spoke:

"Not necessarily, I asked a little more about it.

My husband would be away from home one day a week because he was working overtime.

They would quarrel from time to time, and the wife would go to a so-called friend's house for one night and then come back.

The husband loves to drink when he hangs out with friends and gets drunk.

Of course, after the two quarreled, it was usually the husband who apologized first.

So I think one of the two people lied. ”

Cameron, who was on the side, opened his mouth in surprise when he heard what Du Wei hadn't mentioned just now.

She instantly understood that Du Wei was just taking care of her mood just now, so she didn't say these words.

But now, when it comes to the diagnosis of the patient's condition, Du Wei has no way to hide it, and says it all.

And Du Wei's implication is also very simple, his wife lied.

The beautiful and flawless love that Cameron imagined has always been notched.

Compared to the depressed Cameron, House didn't feel much.

He's been doing this for a long time, and he's long been immune to these things.

He'd seen even more outrageous things, let alone such trivial things.

"Well done, Dewey, your inquiries are as valid as ever.

Go and ask your husband to sign the consent form, as there is a 10% chance that the treatment of melarsoprol (for trypanosomiasis) will kill the patient. ”

Du Wei nodded, and found her husband waiting by the bedside again.

At this time, the patient fell into a coma again, and Du Wei informed her husband of the medication they were going to take at the bedside.

The husband was speechless for a while after signing, and when he saw that Du Wei was leaving, he suddenly said sadly:

"I suddenly hoped that she would not get better, so that it would prove that she had never betrayed me.

Am I bad? ”

Du Wei sighed, when a man who thought he was happy suddenly learned that there was a grassland on his head, it was indeed a big blow.

In particular, the spread of disease is caused by the lack of umbrella protection.

In this regard, he did not know how to comfort the husband, who loved his wife deeply, so he could only silently go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

To tell the truth, according to Du Wei's idea, the minotaurs have to die!

But now he's a doctor, a dying doctor.

Even if he was reluctant, he was saved.

It wasn't long before Du Wei returned to the hospital room with a yellow 'biohazard' logo on it in a glass box.

He was joined by Chase.

There are strict standards for the use of this dangerous substance, and two people must be present before it can be used.

Du Wei picked up 0.5 ml of melarsin in a glass syringe and handed it to Chase.

Chase dismantled the special IV line and explained to Du Wei, an intern:

"Melarsoprol is essentially arsenic mixed with antifreeze, and it corrodes plastic, so we have to use a glass container to carry it."

Du Wei nodded:

"I've learned this, and it can also cause vomiting, abdominal pain, blood toxicity, nerve damage, irregular heartbeats, and heart-rending pain.

Fortunately, the patient was unconscious, otherwise the whole hospital would have heard her screams. ”

Chase smiled:

"Boy, I know a lot, it's really her luck to be unconscious.

But aren't you going to tell me how you got to know Dr. Robert? ”

Watching Chase slowly inject the green liquid into the patient's veins, Du Wei replied casually:

"Of course, I met when I was doing private work, you know, private work gives a lot of money.

It just so happened that I helped him solve a case, so he owed me a favor. ”

Chase nodded, put away the needle in his hand, and then approached Du Wei and whispered:

"When can you take me to see it? Don't worry, I don't want money, it's purely to experience a different life. ”

Du Wei looked at Chase in some surprise, do rich people always like exciting things?

He didn't refuse, but said:

"If you're not afraid of death, you can."

Unexpectedly, Chase who heard this not only did not flinch, but became slightly excited:

"It's no wonder you can always find the right one among the many possible conditions.

It turns out that you have been under this kind of pressure all the time?

This is a good way, don't worry, next time you call me, I want to go through the experience. ”

Du Wei thought for a moment and agreed to Chase's request.

Someone wants to come to work for him, what reason does Du Wei have for disagreeing?

At this time, melarstoprol has also begun to take effect, and the trypanosomes hidden in the patient's brain are constantly dying.

And Du Wei didn't open his eyes to the sky, the reason why he knew this was purely because he heard the reminder of life renewal.

[Successfully saved people, continued life for one day, current life time: 12 days and 20 hours. 】

Feeling the infusion of life energy, the fatigue on Du Wei's face was swept away.

In a good mood, he informed her husband of the patient's imminent improvement.

The husband first showed joy, then his face changed to pain, and finally he hid his face with his hands and began to cry.

Finally, the man stood up, went back to the room, kissed the patient on the forehead, and then resolutely left the place with his bag on his back.

And the patient, who had gradually come to his senses because of the effect of melarsosol, suddenly realized what was happening.

She raised her weak hand to try to stop it, but eventually let it go, sobbing helplessly from the hospital bed.

Du Wei sighed again when he saw this scene, he could save people, but he couldn't save his heart.

The only thing he could do if he rejected the Minotaur was to find out from the patient who the third party really was, and then kill him!

Looking at Du Wei who went and returned, the patient didn't care, she just immersed herself in the world of losing her husband and wept.

"I need to know who he is, and if you still love your husband, you should tell me his name, so that you can heal your husband's psychological wounds."

Instead of answering, the patient asked:

"He's not coming back, is he?"

Du Wei did not hide either:

"People always have to pay for their mistakes, tell me his name, and you will feel a little less guilty."

“…… Pushi. ”
