Liu Banxia is indeed as Xu Yino thought; actually, he’s feeling very anxious inside right now.
Even though the test results haven’t come out yet, some judgments can still be made.
He feels that the likelihood of the patient’s cyst being malignant is very low. If it were truly malignant, it wouldn’t show inflammation like this.
Because that’s the characteristic of malignant tumors: when they start affecting your health, they’ve already developed to a certain extent.
He was chatting with Qiaoqiao, watching the kids, when Xu Yino brought the interns over.
"Have the rest of the test results come out?" Liu Banxia asked.
"The blood test results match the symptoms of pancreatitis, rheumatoid immune negative, and many allergens were detected. Seafood, pollen, dust, egg yolk, mold, etc., a dozen in total." Xu Yino replied.
"Before I came over, I asked the patient’s boyfriend. He hasn’t eaten any of these things in the past two days. But the patient wasn’t allergic to egg yolk before."
"Oh... this is really troublesome. We’ll have to keep working hard. Is Cui Jia keeping an eye on it?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Yes, she’s watching. She said she wants to eat chicken drumsticks today. I’ve already told Manager Zhou; he can just bring the meal back to her." Xu Yino replied.
"Everyone is very concerned about this patient. The stool test results haven’t come out yet, so we don’t know if it’s a parasite. But parasites are usually multiple, whereas this is just one."
"Let’s wait for the results. Tonight is crucial. Looks like we can’t expect much rest. Have the patient’s parents come yet?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Not yet. Oh my, what’s delicious that Master Mother is eating?" Xu Yino noticed the food in the video with Qiaoqiao.
"It looks delicious, but it doesn’t actually taste like much. Still had to simmer for a while. These two little rascals are eating more and more now. I don’t want them to drink so much formula." Qiaoqiao replied.
Then Qiaoqiao and Xu Yino took control of the conversation, and Xu Yino took the phone, and they all gathered to watch the two little ones.
Liu Banxia didn’t mind them and saw Xu Hui approaching, so he waved him over directly.
"How’s your patient’s situation?" Xu Hui asked.
"It’s not far off from our predictions. It doesn’t seem related to her boyfriend, and they’re not exposed to the allergens detected." Liu Banxia replied.
"Oh... so it’s just as we thought." Xu Hui sighed.
"But the patient was at her own home. The only outside factor was her boyfriend. What else could cause her allergy?"
"That’s the strange part. It’s not like other patients with many unknown factors." Liu Banxia said.
"She was in her safest environment and then showed allergic symptoms. What if the allergen was from her boyfriend? He’s very cautious about this matter."
"And besides, the two were just together in bed; there were no other clothes, medications, or apparatuses. We’ve already eliminated other substances. Surely she can’t be allergic to human flesh?"
"There’s more, there’s more, and other things too."
At this moment, Qiaoqiao shouted through the phone.
"Teacher Liu, Master Mother seems to have a clue." Xu Yino hurriedly handed the phone back over.
"What is it?" Liu Banxia asked.
"You were just talking about allergens earlier, eliminating this and that, and even being completely bare. But there’s one thing you forgot to consider." Qiaoqiao said happily.
"What is it?" Liu Banxia quickly asked.
"On the path where tadpole finds its mother, could it have done some other work?" Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
"Eh? This... this... Brother Xu, is there a possibility?" Liu Banxia looked at Xu Hui.
"You know, Qiaoqiao’s reminder is quite timely, and this really isn’t within the scope of standard testing." Xu Hui thought for a moment and said.
"Sweetheart, how are you so amazing? If it’s truly confirmed, you might have saved a life." Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Hehe, just average, nationwide third." Qiaoqiao replied, but her expression turned a bit forlorn.
"But if that’s the case, what will she do in the future? Does that mean she can’t have children? Life will be quite unsatisfactory for her."
"Oh... now’s not the time to overthink it. You continue to show off our daughter and son to Xu Yino; I should eat quickly and then discuss with the patient’s boyfriend." Liu Banxia said as he handed the phone back to Xu Yino.
And that’s when Liu Banxia’s speed kicked in, shoveling the food into his mouth.
He always grabs plenty of food, but today he’s preoccupied, so he eats slower.
Now it’s impressive; the food is disappearing at a visibly fast pace.
The others are similar, all for the patient. Plus, they’re genuinely curious; they’ve heard of many allergens but never this one.
Their eating speed is like a high-speed train, causing a bit of dizziness for the onlookers.
Fortunately, they’re accustomed to it; whatever unusual thing happens around Liu Banxia isn’t all that unusual.
Qiaoqiao, though she didn’t enjoy her chat with Liu Banxia fully, felt she contributed and was quite happy.
No need to worry about whether her guess was right or not; as long as she brought up something they hadn’t thought of, it was a success.
After dinner, the group jogged back to the emergency center. Even Xu Hui followed suit; he too was at a loss regarding this patient.
"Doctor, what’s wrong?" The patient’s boyfriend became nervous when he saw them running over.
"Her parents haven’t arrived yet?" Liu Banxia asked.
"At this time, there are no buses coming from the county, so they have to take a taxi, which isn’t easy to find." The patient’s boyfriend explained.
"Alright, come with me. I need to discuss something with you privately." Liu Banxia said.
Hearing this, the patient’s boyfriend became even more anxious. The patient lying on the examination bed was a bit confused, not understanding the situation.
"Doctor, what do you need to ask?" The patient’s boyfriend asked after following Liu Banxia to the side.
"You didn’t use any contraceptive measures?" Liu Banxia asked.
The patient’s boyfriend hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"What about before? Did you use any before?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.
"Sometimes we did, sometimes we didn’t. She was in her safe period." The patient’s boyfriend replied.
"Alright."
Liu Banxia nodded, said a word, and walked away.
The patient’s boyfriend was bewildered; now he really couldn’t figure out the examination process here. Why ask such private questions; is that alright?
"Teacher Liu, how is it?" Xu Yino asked anxiously when she saw Liu Banxia.
"They didn’t use any this time, so there’s a certain possibility." Liu Banxia said.
"After all, she has had pancreatitis recently, which is also an invasion of her body. Under such an invasion, her immunity might be lowered."
"So this time, even the egg yolk she’s usually not allergic to, has triggered a reaction. Explain it to the patient, and then we’ll do the tests."
"Alright."
Xu Yino responded excitedly, then pulled the curtain to explain to the patient.
"I’m kind of excited; there’s really a possibility here." Xu Hui said with a smile.
Liu Banxia stretched lazily, "I ate in a rush; I need to move around."
"Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu, come over."
As soon as he finished speaking, the patient with Wilson’s disease waved at him.
"What’s up? You two seem a bit off." Liu Banxia asked as he walked over.
"Nothing, I just talked things over with my mom. She’s raised me this far; mom is mom, regardless." The patient said with a smile.
"Doctor Liu, thank you. Otherwise, I’d always carry this burden in my heart; it’s hard." The elderly lady also spoke.
"Not telling Guoliang, I’m afraid it’ll be too late if I don’t make it one day. But if I tell him, I’m afraid he would resent me. Who knows how long I have left; the more I think, the more anxious I get, so I don’t dare to tell."
As she spoke, the elderly lady began to shed tears.
"Isn’t it good now that you’ve cleared things up? Don’t overthink it. How do you feel?" Liu Banxia comforted her.
"How do I feel? I feel like I’m much better now." The patient said.
"Haha, that’s a psychological effect. With conditions like yours, even with medication, it takes two or three days to show a significant effect." Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"I asked how you felt to see if there were any side effects after taking the medicine. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t force it; call our medical staff right away."
"Alright, I feel pretty good now anyway." The patient said.
"Can I handle the accident tomorrow? It’s my responsibility after all. Our boss just visited me, but I know this job’s gone."
"But we can’t shirk the duty. I’m thinking about other jobs. We can’t be stumped for options, even if it’s some small actions; I can work as a loader."
"How about being a security guard? Or do you have skills in repairing equipment? Do you have experience in water, electricity, or plumbing?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Yes, I do. Although I don’t have certificates, I’ve done all these jobs." The patient perked up.
"Alright, take care of yourself first. I’ll see if my friend needs someone; I’ll find a job for you. However, I can’t guarantee high pay; it depends on their standards." Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"I’m not picky, as long as there’s work and money." The patient said happily.
"Doctor Liu, thank you so much." The elderly lady expressed her gratitude.
"Let’s not talk too much about this, otherwise, I won’t be able to handle it. Wait for the news." Liu Banxia patted the elderly lady’s hand and walked to the side.
This was an unconventional move, an occasional one or two times is fine, but doing it often isn’t good.
It was mainly because he felt touched by the genuine bond between the mother and son.
