This doctor has a system

Chapter 621, Section 683: Stone Embryo 2
"This patient has been suffering from abdominal pain for many years. It's not easy for him to come to the hospital for a checkup, and the head doctor is very concerned," Liu Neng quickly replied on his phone. "He also wants to relieve the patient's pain as soon as possible."

“She’s not a relative of mine, I’m just being impartial.”

"Okay, please wait a moment," the other party replied.

Then Liu Neng received a payment link.

"Four glasses of iced lemonade?! Why don't you just rob me?" Liu Neng was furious.

"There are three of us," the other person said.

"Then why four cups?" Liu Neng asked.

I'll save one glass for this afternoon.

The huge expense of 16 yuan made Liu Neng feel a pang of heartache, but when he thought about the bottle of hand sanitizer he had taken from the department to his dormitory a few days earlier, he felt a little better.

"This shouldn't be a loss, right?!"

About an hour later, a doctor from the radiology department came out and shouted at the crowd.

"Gu Xiuli's family! Are Gu Xiuli's family members here?!"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Fengshou quickly stepped forward. "Doctor, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Come here, we need to ask about your medical history again."

Soon, Gao Feng, who was making his rounds, also received a phone call.

"What?!" He looked shocked. "I'm coming right now."

"You guys continue with the investigation. I'll look at the rest this afternoon," he instructed before heading straight to the radiology department.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his boss's hurried appearance, Li Youliang couldn't help but ask.

"That Aunt Gu is pregnant." Gao Feng couldn't help but grab his collar, suddenly feeling a bit stuffy.

"Pregnant?" Li Youliang was dumbfounded. At her age, and considering Aunt Gu's condition... no way!
Have you ever heard of stone fetuses?

"No." Li Youliang was a little embarrassed, but he did know about the stone monkey.

At this time, in the radiology department

A large crowd gathered in front of a computer, with many medical staff taking photos with their phones.

Upon seeing Gao Feng enter, Director Lei immediately went to greet him.

"Director Gao, come and see! I've been in this business for so many years, and this is only the second time I've seen this before!"

"Her work is exceptionally complete, truly..." Director Lei didn't know how to describe it.

The computer screen is displaying a 3D image of a fetus, which looks very clear. The fetus's hands and feet are curled up, as if it were asleep.

"So this is the stone embryo," Li Youliang thought to himself.

Stone fetus is a rare complication of ectopic pregnancy, referring to the pathological phenomenon of fetal death followed by calcification within the mother's body.

Over time, the original flesh and blood tissue transforms into a structure resembling bones, especially the calcified fetal bones and membranes.

Multiple factors can contribute to the formation of a stone fetus, the most important being the lack of medical care and medicine in remote areas, poverty in families, or a lack of attention to women.

Or perhaps the symptoms themselves are not severe, and the patient has been delaying treatment at home.

Xu Fengshou was stunned when he learned that there was a petrified fetus inside his mother's body.

"What are we going to do?!"

"Don't worry, I'll take you to consult a surgeon."

Dr. Qi Huimin, the head of the gynecology department, was stunned for a long time after seeing the abdominal CT scan.

"No, the patient has developed to this extent, doesn't he/she have any symptoms?"

"Doesn't she feel pain?!"

"It must hurt." Gao Feng was in a very low mood.

"Since you're still experiencing pain, let's remove it." Director Qi Huimin didn't want to ask any more questions. The atmosphere in the consultation room became somewhat heavy.

"Fortunately, such cases are rare nowadays." Director Qi Huimin tried to make her tone lighter. "Many students have probably only seen this in books. This is a good opportunity to work on a rare case."

After returning home, Gao Feng told Xu's mother about her situation, and Gao's mother burst into tears.

"She has six siblings. Her mother died a long time ago, and her father raised her all by himself. She had a very hard childhood."

"I finally got married, thinking that life would be better, but a few years later her father-in-law had lung cancer and spent all the family's money."

"I had just recovered from the shock when my husband was diagnosed with liver cancer."

"Xiao Feng, how can someone's life be so miserable!"

“Life is getting better now,” Gao Feng comforted him. “Their house was also demolished and relocated. I think Xu Fengshou is doing quite well, he’s doing pretty well.”

"I'll go see her tomorrow," said Aunt Gao.

“Okay, I’ll take you there,” Gao Feng agreed.

Gu Xiuli was very happy to see Gao Ma and took her hand to talk about the past.

She wasn't worried about her condition at all, and even knowing that a fetus had been inside her for nearly 30 years, she didn't experience much emotional change.

When Gao's mother came back, she said that although the person looked alive, his heart was already dead.

Two days later, Gu Xiuli was wheeled into the operating room.

Xu Fengshou, the son, stood on the outside corridor, his face full of worry, while his wife sat on the bench next to him.

"Don't worry, we've already asked around, haven't we? I think they've arranged everything perfectly," the wife said.

"I'm not worried at all. What's the big deal? The doctor said the risk is low!"

"Then you can sit and wait."

"I'll stand; I feel uncomfortable sitting there," Xu Fengshou said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The operating room's dome is inlaid with five circular light panels, and a matrix of three hundred cold-light LEDs is humming almost imperceptibly.

The silver-gray metal supports cast spiderweb-like shadows on the ceiling, while the blue light reflected on the sterile walls resembled skeletal specimens stripped of their flesh and blood.

Director Qi Huimin raised her chin to adjust the angle, and the blood droplets on the surface of her latex gloves splattered out in tiny spots of light, like a miniature star that had gone out of control and exploded under the dome.

"Director Gao?"

"Oh, oh." Gao Feng finally snapped out of his daze. "Sorry, I was daydreaming."

"The adhesions are quite severe; it's estimated that the fallopian tube and ovary on this side will need to be removed," Qi Huimin said.

"Then let's cut it."

At the patient's age, these things are no longer of any use; they should be removed if necessary.

"Director Qi, you should make the decision yourself. I don't really understand this either," Gao Feng said.

"You're being modest," Qi Huimin smiled. "I heard from Director Zhang and the others that you're accomplished both internally and externally."

These words made Director Gao feel much better.

The surgery went smoothly, and soon everyone saw the stone fetus shown on the CT scan.

"It should have been a boy, but it's a pity he went down the wrong path." Qi Huimin felt very sorry. "It's really rare for an ectopic pregnancy to develop to this extent."

The amniotic sac was left in the operating room, and the gynecologist said they would waive the surgery fee.

A few days later, Gu Xiuli was discharged from the hospital without incident.

After seeing them off, Gao Feng felt a pang of emotion.

“Don’t sigh. People used to suffer. She just suffered a little more,” Li Youliang said. “Life is getting better and better now.”

Gao Feng thought to himself, "I hope I won't run into another Gu Xiuli."
