Chapter 284: This is Not a Hernia, A Big Fish is Discovered



Being forgiving is one thing, but no man would truly tolerate his girlfriend being taken advantage of by another man.

Zhou Can's expression became even more serious after exploring for a moment.

"There seems to be a lump here!"

His words instantly made the couple tense up.

"Really?"

The woman, enduring the pain, started to check herself.

However, given the awkward location, she felt embarrassed.

"It does seem like there's a large lump, I hadn't noticed it myself!" After inspecting herself, she was surprised and a bit scared. "Doctor, is this lump serious? What exactly is it? I definitely didn't have this before, it might have swollen up just today."

At this point, the woman eagerly wanted Zhou Can to provide an answer.

Her boyfriend, who initially suspected Zhou Can of taking advantage of his situation, now admired Zhou Can's medical skills as he discovered a swelling with just a few touches.

"If it swelled up in a short time, it might be an inguinal hernia. Since I only did a palpation through a layer of clothing, I can't properly identify the nature of the swelling. I recommend going to a hospital for further examination."

When Zhou Can initially touched the lump, it felt relatively hard.

Usually, inguinal hernias feel softer because they actually consist of abdominal tissues protruding through the abdominal cavity, forming a lump under the skin.

For example, a bulge formed by softer tissues like omentum or intestines protruding from the cavity is called a hernia.

It feels soft.

Moreover, hernias often form very quickly.

If this woman's swelling indeed formed overnight, it is most likely a hernia.

However, other diseases cannot be ruled out.

"If it's that... what do you call it, is it serious?"

The woman asked in pain.

Her concerned boyfriend stood by, eagerly waiting for Zhou Can to provide an answer.

"It's an inguinal hernia, the 'hernia' kind," Zhou Can corrected her. The pronunciation of 'hernia' and another word she was confusing it with was actually slightly different, how could she not distinguish them?

"If it's newly occurred, it's generally not severe and can even be manually repositioned. However, if it's recurred, or cannot be manually repositioned, then it's more serious. Immediate surgery is necessary to prevent necrosis. Also, this might not necessarily be an inguinal hernia, I'm just noting that it's a possibility."

At this time, Director Zhang Bihua also came over after finishing her breakfast.

"Young lady, I'm a doctor from Tu Ya Hospital too, may I have a feel?"

Knowing Zhou Can was a male doctor and it was inappropriate for him to proceed, she took the initiative to ask to examine the patient.

"Sure! Thank you!"

The woman nodded her head in agreement.

Director Zhang, already in her fifties and with long-term medical practice, genuinely possessed a unique doctor's demeanor. Cold, serious, and with a hint of a doctor's decisive presence.

This presence is developed from doctors frequently performing injections and surgeries.

When encountering a lesion, doctors never hesitate, often decisively removing it with one cut.

Over time, this imbued doctors with an intimidating aura.

"When I touched it earlier, the lump felt rather hard, not like a hernia. But she mentioned it wasn't there before and appeared overnight. Could it possibly be an inflammation?"

An inflammation or a hematoma perhaps, but definitely not a tumor since it formed within such a short period.

"That's possible."

Director Zhang Bihua reached into the patient's trousers to feel and frowned intensely.

Many older women prefer to trim their eyebrows thin and then draw fine, elongated eyebrows.

From a distance, they indeed look beautiful.

But up close, natural eyebrows are more beautiful and natural.

"The lump isn't large, and it's slightly hard in texture, not like a hernia. It feels a bit like a tumor. Miss, you need to go to the hospital for an examination to clearly determine the nature of the lump."

Director Zhang Bihua's extensive clinical experience was immense.

Even she felt there was an issue after examining it, so it was definitely not a minor issue.

The girl looked up at her boyfriend.

"Ah Qing, what should we do?"

"Let's listen to the doctor, I'll take you to the hospital for an examination right away."

Her boyfriend was responsible, not hesitating further and deciding to take her to the hospital immediately.

"Young man, the person who just examined your girlfriend is an expert from Tuya Hospital. They are currently holding a specialist consultation event at Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital. I suggest you take your girlfriend there for treatment. It's close to the hotel and very convenient."

Director Tang said this to the couple with a look of 'concern.'

"Alright, thank you for the reminder!"

The man agreed.

Yet Zhou Can unconsciously curled his lips, Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital had apparently stooped to soliciting clients. And it was a director soliciting, indicating that its operational status may be even worse than imagined.

The collapse of a major hospital, simply due to a single medical incident.

This also served as a reminder for Zhou Can, emphasizing the importance of always being careful and strict with oneself during medical practice.

Otherwise, it could cause harm to both others and oneself, and the hospital one works for would suffer greatly as well.

After Zhou Can and the others had breakfast at the hotel, Director Tang was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, subtly urging the experts several times.

As it was almost eight o'clock, Dean Tian had certainly assigned him a task to ensure the experts arrived on time.

Despite the argument between Du Leng and a family member during yesterday's Tu Ya Hospital expert consultation event, overall, it was quite successful. They diagnosed several difficult cases that multiple major hospitals were unable to handle.
