"Let me see!" Dr. Xiao hurried over.
Looking at the girl's hand and her face, "is the foot like this?"
"Yes!" The girl wiped her tears and took off her shoes and socks. Her feet, especially her heels, had thick, hard, tight and shiny skin.
"What's the matter? Isn't this frostbite?" The girl's father doesn't understand. Is this worse than the lung?
"How long has this been the case?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"It's been a few years, but it's especially serious this year." Said the girl.
Guo Xiang's heart cluttered, indicating that his condition had worsened, so that his lungs were fibrotic.
"What's the matter? This is... "Anze Han did not quite understand that it looked like a disease on the skin. Maybe it was caused by poor family and no cream. It was so cold this day. Many people in the countryside did this?
"Does it hurt?" Guo Xiang asked painfully.
"It hurts. You can't touch cold water. It hurts when you touch cold water. And the foot. If someone accidentally steps on it, it will hurt half its life. " Said the girl.
The girl's father was stunned, "Miao Miao, why didn't you say earlier that you washed your clothes in cold water in the morning..."
"Dad..." the girl smiled bitterly. "If I don't be a grandmother, I'll be unhappy. I'll beat me and scold me. I'll just bear it."
"Miao Miao..." the girl's father's eyes became more red. He blamed himself for not paying enough attention to his daughter. His mother valued boys over girls. He couldn't change her concept. Fortunately, the child was sensible and he didn't interfere too much. Unexpectedly
"What the hell is going on?" Anzehan asked Guo Xiang softly.
"This may be 'scleroderma'." Guo Xiang sighed. This is a more serious disease than pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis may also be used for lung transplantation. This disease has not been treated.
Even in later generations, there is no cure. We can only take medicine for a long time to improve. The result is still
"What is scleroderma?" Anzehan asked that he only now knew how deficient his knowledge was, but it was not in many medical books.
"I'll ask Dr. Wang of the dermatology department to come down for consultation." Dr. Xiao said.
Soon, Dr. Wang of the dermatology department was invited down. He carefully looked at the girl's skin, and his expression was also unusually dignified.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?" Asked the girl's father anxiously.
"Basically, it can be determined to be 'scleroderma'. Specifically, some skin tissues should be taken for testing." Dr. Wang said with a sigh, "let's be hospitalized first. We should also do all kinds of examinations. We should be prepared for a hard battle."
"Doctor, can't you cure this disease?" Asked the girl.
"It's not. If you can control it, you can live for decades. You just have to take medicine all your life." Dr. Wang said, "don't lose heart. Some people take medicine all their life, such as heart disease and hypertension. It's good when you get used to it."
"Really?" The girl's father rekindled hope. As long as he could be cured, even if he could not be cured, he could live a normal life.
"Let's go to the hospital first." Dr. Wang said.
Dr. Xiao gave me a hospitalization list, and then had several tests.
Scleroderma appears to be a skin disease. In fact, it is mainly due to problems with the immune system, so it has not been transferred to the dermatology department.
Father and daughter went to go through the hospitalization formalities. Anzehan asked Guo Xiang, "what is this scleroderma?"
"Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis, is a connective tissue disease characterized by skin sclerosis and atrophy. At first it was just skin hardening, but slowly the thighs and internal organs may harden. The little girl's lungs have become fibrotic, indicating that it has been very serious. "
"There may be a problem with the kidney. These organs are hardened, unable to breathe, unable to metabolize, so the man... "Can't live, Guo Xiang didn't go on.
"How did you get this disease?" Asked anzehan.
"The specific reason is not very clear. It may be genetic or viral infection. The main reason is that there is a problem with the immune system. This is the most difficult to cure, and there is no specific medicine. " Guo Xiang shook his head.
"What about that?" Anzehan exclaimed.
"As Dr. Wang said, symptomatic treatment, if you can control it, you can still live a few more years..."
All three were silent and the situation was not optimistic.
Guo Xiang also sighed secretly in his heart. Even in later generations, the disease was very difficult to treat, but at that time, there were various advanced drugs that could be used to treat it. Some people with mild symptoms might live for decades, but at this time, there was really nothing they could do.
There are many incurable diseases in the world. Doctors are really not immortals.
Then a young man came in.
Seeing that the three doctors were silent, I was a little surprised, "doctor, can I see a doctor here?"
Dr. Xiao looked up. "Come in!"
"What's wrong?" Asked Dr. Xiao.
The young man sat down, stretched out his hands and put them on the table.
They all looked at their hands. It was winter, but they were wet and shiny, just like they had been washed with water.
It's the exact opposite of the little girl just now.
Anzehan thought it would be nice if he integrated with the girl.
"Doctor, look at my hands. They sweat badly all year round, whether in winter or summer. What's the matter?" The young man was distressed and said, "this winter, I can't even hold my pen. I have to wipe it when I write. It's too uncomfortable."
"Not to mention summer. If you are nervous and excited again, the sweat will drop like water. I recently talked to an object. I didn't dare to hold each other's hand for fear of being despised by her. " The young man said shyly.
Dr. Xiao took a piece of toilet paper from the side and wiped it on the young man's hand. The paper was soaked at once. It can be seen how serious the sweat is.
"It's sweaty hands. There's something wrong with the sympathetic nerve. The sweat glands are too strong." Dr. Xiao said.
"Can that be cured?" The young man asked hurriedly.
"Can cure." Dr. Xiao nodded, "just do a small operation and remove the sweat glands under your armpits."
"Yes, yes, I sweat too much under my arms. Now my clothes are wet and my feet are sweating. It's even more serious in summer. I slip in plastic slippers." The young man nodded again and again, "but will you stop sweating after removing the sweat glands? Then... Will it be uncomfortable? "
"No, there are many large and small sweat glands all over our body. Just cutting off the large sweat glands under our armpits does not affect others. We will still divide the sweat, but it will be much better." Guo Xiang said.
Dr. Xiao nodded, too.
"That's great. I'll have an operation." The young man was very happy. He paused and asked, "is the operation expensive?"
"It's not expensive. It's just a small operation." Dr. Shaw said,
"Well, when can I do it? I want to do it as soon as possible. " The young man is very excited.
Dr. Xiao nodded and transferred him to general surgery. The operation can be done in general surgery.
As soon as the young man left, they were silent again. Thinking of the girl in front of them, they were really happy and sad.
