The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: A Gift and an Illness

After finishing his meal, Liu Banxia was in a pretty good mood, feeling somewhat smug inside.

Not because he had given out a task concerning the patient’s loose skin, but because of the entire emergency process today.

He paused slightly when the system rewarded him after the surgery was finished.

The reward for this task was too generous, even someone as seasoned as him thought he might have misread it.

It’s also considered a recognition from the system, as the task was evaluated from admission to the completion of the entire surgery.

This proved that although he hadn’t been busy admitting emergency patients at the emergency center recently, his reaction and operations were still up to par.

"Let’s not stay idle, and thoroughly clarify the patient’s situation," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Contact his parents or manager, and let’s have a good chat with them. It’s like... buying one and getting one free, exceptional service."

Everyone laughed along, sensing that Teacher Liu’s mood was marvelous.

Back at the emergency center, he directly took out the patient’s parents’ phone numbers.

Fortunately, they were dining at a nearby restaurant. Hearing they were being contacted about the patient’s condition, they dropped their meal and came straight over.

"Don’t rush; we contacted you not because of a change in the patient’s condition or surgery matter but to understand his past living conditions," Liu Banxia explained.

"Doctor, ask away, we’ll tell you everything we know," the patient’s mother replied.

"What kind of shows does he usually perform?" Liu Banxia asked.

Su Wenhao and the others were stunned by his question; this seemed irrelevant.

Shouldn’t he inquire about the skin laxity condition, or at least ask about the joint situation, or a family medical history?

Why inquire about the shows he performs?

"Erdong performs mechanical dance; he’s placed in national competitions," the patient’s manager said.

"Wait a moment, I’ll find a video of him for you. Doctor, how long will Erdong need to rest after this surgery before he can perform again?"

The manager said while fetching the patient’s usual dance videos, handing them to Liu Banxia for viewing.

Liu Banxia took a glance and then showed it to Su Wenhao and the others.

Whether watching the video or looking at Liu Banxia, their expressions seemed a bit perplexed.

The patient in the video danced the mechanical dance skillfully; his joints were incredibly flexible, some movements seemed almost unnatural.

Now it was clear why Liu Banxia asked; he had a rough guess from the beginning.

Probably not just him, even the director felt inclined towards skin elasticity syndrome, but when everyone discussed it, it was merely a backup, not directly stated.

"Doctor, will Erdong recover and maintain his current level?" the manager nervously inquired, sensing their expressions.

Liu Banxia nodded, "Recovery will maintain his current level, but personally, I believe he shouldn’t continue performing."

"What? Why?"

The manager was truly unsettled.

The patient’s parents were equally dismayed. Their son gained fame and loved dancing; why couldn’t he continue?

"Have you also noticed the patient’s joints are unusually flexible?" Liu Banxia asked.

The manager nodded, "This is Erdong’s talent; this talent led to systemic training and his current achievement."

"It is indeed a talent, but also an illness," Liu Banxia calmly stated.

The manager frowned, not knowing if the doctor habitually scared people.

Based on past hospital visits, many times, you were scared half to death, had to pay for numerous tests, only to find nothing wrong.

"Doctor, is this a disease?" the patient’s father asked.

"Medically, this is called skin hypermobility syndrome; you’re certainly aware of the patient’s slack skin, which can be gently pinched upwards," Liu Banxia explained.

"Another significant manifestation of this illness is the abnormal performance of his shoulders, kneecaps, hips, and clavicle joints. His joint movement already far exceeds normal people."

"Su Wenhao, did you notice anything unusual about his teeth when intubating the patient?"

Su Wenhao pondered a moment and shook his head, "No, they look normal, only a few teeth seem crooked, but that’s normal, right?"

Liu Banxia nodded, "If there are no other symptoms manifesting in the teeth, his type is likely benign hypermobility type III or joint laxity type XI."

"Doctor, isn’t this Erdong’s talent? Also, Erdong hasn’t shown any pain or discomfort," the patient’s manager asked.

"What you see is only external; there are some internal changes in his body," Liu Banxia replied.

"His blood vessels and skin fragility have increased, so watch out; as time elapses, he may experience internal bleeding."

"He may also face challenges with wound healing and bleeding control; current surgical scars might be large and prone to secondary infections."

"Consider that he is still very young, and his symptoms have started manifesting. If not cautious, future joint dislocations are the least of concerns."

"For instance, when lifting heavy objects, the shoulder joint is a focal point. Under such pressure, joint displacement brings what consequence?"

"In addition, frequent dislocations could damage the joint capsule. Therefore, he should be more cautious in the future; his stay in the ICU might be prolonged."

"Doctor, would supplemental calcium help?" the patient’s mother anxiously asked.

Liu Banxia shook his head, "This illness isn’t related to calcium deficiency; it’s a genetic alteration, a hereditary disease but with varying inheritance patterns."

"You can also recall if there are similar cases within the family—many in the past occurred in premature or infant stages."

"Other symptoms include periodontal disease, gingivitis, or tooth decay reflected on the teeth; some may face mobility delay or intellectual impact."

"So far, his symptoms have developed over time; his abdominal aortic dissection relates to this illness rather than perceived trauma induced by impact."

"He’ll likely develop new aneurysms shortly, necessitating annual check-ups. Negligence might lead to life-threatening hemorrhages upon rupture."

"Doctor, what medication works then? Are they unavailable domestically?" the patient’s mother asked.

"His illness lacks any specific treatment drugs," Liu Banxia replied.

"In daily life, focus on avoiding trauma, protecting joints, promptly handling bleeding or hematomas, and minimizing surgeries."

"If symptoms exacerbate in the future, symptomatic treatments will be necessary, addressing the specific ailment at hand."

Ding! Slightly loose skin task completed

Experience points gained: 200 points, Glory Points +3

After Liu Banxia finished speaking, the system issued task rewards, though the rewards couldn’t be compared to the surgical task rewards.

There’s no choice; the illness is easily diagnosable, with clear symptomatic manifestations, leaving little to investigate.

At the start, he was indeed confused; with calm deliberation, he charted a rough course forward.

Most parents found it hard to digest Liu Banxia’s explanation; though unstated, it implied their son’s future life might be challenging.

Performing isn’t advisable anymore, as future joint strains could be unbearable.

"Under normal conditions, if we remain vigilant, the impact on life quality can be minimal," Liu Banxia noted.

"Yet caution is imperative, because though currently innocuous, as aging and bodily degeneration ensue, the illness will surely progress."

"Will this illness be passed on?" the patient’s mother asked.

Liu Banxia nodded, "It’s an autosomal dominant inheritance; any offspring holds a fifty percent chance of inheriting this illness."

"Born two, one must be healthy then?" the patient’s mother desperately suggested.

Liu Banxia shook his head, "That’s not the case; every child’s birth has a fifty percent chance. Even with two children, complications might be absent."

"Afterwards, marriage demands rigorous checks; prenatal care requires foresight in such matters. Details will be noted on medical records, digest this information first."

Everything needing discussion was covered; it’s now their turn to process and respond in forthcoming life.

For this patient, this is really a type of talent, undoubtedly altering his life in numerous ways.

Yet it’s also a disease, one affecting his future life quality and lifespan.

The issue defies simple judgments; perspective dictates its evaluation. One presumes their family income isn’t negligible anymore.
