Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

Seeing that the dean was about to take the topic away, An Nian quickly got back on track.

"Dean, I haven't graduated yet, so I won't mention the staffing issue. My friend in the same dormitory is sick and has been admitted to the intensive care unit. I want to go in and see her."

The dean was startled for a moment and sat up straight.

"What disease does she have? Does she need my help?"

"We don't know yet." An Nian said straightforwardly. "It would be better if you could help find a few experts to take a look. She used to live in the gastroenterology department."

"Okay!" The dean agreed and stood up from his desk. "I'll go with you."

With the addition of the dean, An Nian easily met Luo Yun, the chief director of the Gastroenterology Department. He was an old acquaintance of An Nian, and he was the one whom Li Youmei went to for treatment last year when she had stomach problems.

A group of people marched toward the intensive care unit.

The patient's family members are constantly guarding the outside of the intensive care unit. They sit on stools during the day and lie down on mats wrapped in clothes to get some sleep at night.

Because no one knows whether their family members will leave in the next second, and they are anxious when they return home, many people carry it on.

This kind of protection is very tiring.

In just one night, Li Yaoyao's mother looked haggard and her hair was a little messy.

She and her husband sat side by side on the cold bench, staring directly at the door of the intensive care unit. As long as someone came out of the door, they would stand up and wait immediately.

Maybe they can get some good news about their daughter.

"Auntie."

Zhang Ning heard a familiar voice and turned to look to the right.

The next second, she opened her eyes wide, stood up with her knees in hand, and looked at An Nian in surprise, and then at the large group of white coats following her.

"Classmate An Nian..."

An Nian walked up, took her hand, and squeezed it comfortingly.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go in and see Yaoyao."

Zhu Xiaoyun saw An Nian's status in these ten minutes. The dean of the Military General Hospital liked her very much, and the director of the gastroenterology department actually knew her and treated An Nian with a hint of respect.

Zhu Xiaoyun didn't know that An Nian had spent half a year helping the Military General Hospital train a group of outstanding interventional doctors.

Interventional surgery often has special effects in treating cancer. The gastrointestinal tract is an organ with a high incidence of cancer. Interventional embolization first and then resection can improve the success rate of the doctor's surgery and improve the patient's postoperative quality of life.

With such a premise, Luo Yun naturally hopes to strengthen the friendship with An Nian.

Zhu Xiaoyun also came to Zhang Ning and said: "Auntie, Niannian has called experts. They are all very powerful. Yaoyao will definitely recover!"

"Okay, okay, thank you." Zhang Ning's eyes were red, and she shook An Nian's hand back, excited. "Thank you, Nian Nian!"

"Would you like to go in with your uncle? You'll be fine after disinfection."

There were many people at the door, and their rash entry would inevitably arouse resentment from others. Zhang Ning quickly realized what was happening and said loudly.

"Okay! The intensive care unit allows visits once every three days, and we happen to not be using it yet."

"Let's go then."

An Nian held her hand and walked to the room specially used for disinfection next to the intensive care unit while introducing the dean and others.

After another round of greetings between them, everyone finally changed into clean clothes, put on special shoe covers, and entered the intensive care unit.

No matter what era, there is no shortage of sick people in the hospital.

There are two rows of beds in the intensive care unit, with more than 20 beds in one row.

Combined with the pipes connecting everywhere on the hospital bed, it looks really scary.

"Yao Yao is in bed No. 15."

This was not the first time that Zhang Ning and his wife came in. They had already noted down their daughter's bed, and quickly walked to Li Yaoyao's bedside.

Li Yaoyao's entire face had turned purple, several tubes were inserted into her body, and she fell into a coma.

Zhang Ning couldn't help crying when she saw her daughter's appearance. She raised her hands to wipe them, her voice choked with sobs.

"Obviously everything was fine yesterday afternoon, but I don't know why it suddenly deteriorated..."

An Nian picked up the medical records and flipped through them quickly.

After another round of various examinations, her liver and kidney damage increased, but the cause was still unknown and could only be treated symptomatically.

Protecting the liver, protecting the kidneys, antivomiting, and antidiarrheal, all treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Luo Yun is very familiar with Li Yaoyao. Li Yaoyao's medical records will be mentioned in their department during morning shifts these days.

"Her condition is very complicated. We consulted the nephrology department, infectious disease department and gastroenterology department last night, but we couldn't find the specific cause."

In front of An Nian, Luo Yun spoke more directly.

An Nian nodded slightly, put down the medical records, and took Li Yaoyao's pulse again.

Her pulse was even weaker, as if her entire life force had been drained out.

An Nian's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

She couldn't find the cause.

All manifestations are organ damage.

The release of her spiritual power can nourish Li Yaoyao's body, but the areas that have just been nourished will soon be damaged again.

"Dr. An, what do you think?"

An Nian had solved many difficult and complicated diseases at the Military General Hospital before, so the dean subconsciously put his hope in her.

An Nian sighed softly and shook his head slightly towards the dean: "I haven't found out the cause yet. Let's do a physical examination first."

Seeing a doctor is very similar to solving a crime. Sometimes, the answer can be found in the smallest details.

An Nian followed the standard method of physical examination and looked at Li Yaoyao's chest, arms, and then her facial features. When his eyes fell on her hair, his eyes froze.

"Did Yaoyao's hair fall out so much?"

Zhu Xiaoyun whispered beside her: "It seems to be more powerful than before..."

An Nian changed into a pair of medical gloves and touched Li Yaoyao's scalp.

Her scalp turned out to be in a brittle state, as if she could no longer grasp the roots of her hair. With just a slight exertion of her fingers, a large amount of hair could be pulled out.

"This is very wrong...it doesn't look like I'm sick..."

A flash of inspiration flashed in An Nian's mind, he took off his gloves and frowned into the character "Sichuan".

"In the books I've read, hair loss can only be so severe in the late stage of cancer, or is it caused by chemotherapy...chemotherapy?"

An Nian caught this key word and murmured to himself.

Others held their breath, afraid to disturb her.

Suddenly, An Nian jumped up from the stool beside the bed and sprinted outside.

"Nian Nian?" Zhu Xiaoyun was startled by her.

"Doctor An?" The dean and others quickly followed her.

I saw An Nian coming to the head nurse: "Can you lend me that book?"

"Which one?" The nurse at the nursing station looked at her doubtfully.

An Nian stretched out his hand and pointed: "The chemistry book behind you!"

She had a photographic memory. When she came in, she glanced at the nurse's station and saw a copy of "High School Chemistry" on the shelf at the back.

"This is the book of our head nurse's son... She came in too hasty this morning and took the wrong book..."

The nurse was a little nervous. Facing the gazes of the dean, director and other leaders, the nurse walked over cautiously and picked up "High School Chemistry" and handed it to An Nian.

"Thank you."

An Nian took it and turned it over directly.

Printed on the last page of the book is the periodic table of elements.

Her fingers rested on the bottom of the form.

“密度在4.5g/cm3以上的金属，被称作重金属。原子序数从23(v)至92(u)的天然金属元素有60种，除其中的6种外，其余54种的密度都大于4.5g/cm3。”

The more An Nian spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and she turned to look at Luo Yun.

Many heavy metals enter the human body through food, and Luo Yun is definitely more familiar with them.

"Director Luo, do you know which heavy metal can cause severe hair loss, liver and kidney damage, or even coma?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Yun, and he felt heavy pressure, especially from the dean.

Luo Yun took a deep breath secretly, and after his mind cleared, he answered calmly.

"Many kinds of heavy metals can produce the reactions you mentioned, such as copper, lead, zinc, tin, nickel, cobalt, etc."

"Okay!" An Nian squeezed the book tightly, "Can our hospital do relevant tests?"

Luo Yun was embarrassed: "We don't have a test specifically for this."

"Where is it?" An Nian asked.
