Chapter 8: Diagnosed
Chapter 8: Diagnosed
Half an hour later, a private obstetrics and gynecology hospital in City A.
Tang Ke was yawning while preparing the ultrasound equipment, his eyes could barely open, "Why don't you sleep at night?"
Tang was Jiang Xu's and Shen Fangyu's college classmates. He switched to imaging when he was in different departments, and later he switched from the hospital to a private school. It is said that he can relax. The relationship between him and Jiang Xu has always been very strong. Although he was called up in the middle of the night, He just complained a few words.
"I may be terminally ill."
Tang Ke was a little confused: "Huh?"
Jiang Xu handed the phone to him, and the page stayed on the checklist just now.
"Holy shit, such a high hcg level, your girlfriend?" Tang Ke said unexpectedly: "I didn't hear you talking about falling in love. You are so fast, you have children."
Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, and then said to Tang Ke, "Mine."
"Of course I know the baby is yours, I mean—"
"The test results," Jiang Xu interrupted Tang Ke, and said with a blank expression, "It's mine."
Tang Ke woke up all of a sudden, and grabbed Jiang Xu's arm in disbelief, "What did you say?" His voice was raised a lot, "My dear, such a high value, this... this..." He said "this" After a long time, there was no reason for "this". In the end, he could only stare dumbfounded at Jiang Xu lying on the examination bed with a cold face.
Tang Ke reached out to get the ultrasonic gel, and said in a small voice, "It's not like you really have cancer."
Jiang Xu directly took the coupling agent from him, untied the belt, lifted the hem of his jacket, and looked at Tang Ke after quickly applying it.
The latter was staring at Jiang Xu with an ultrasound probe, with a shocked expression on his face, forgetting how to move, Jiang Xu impatiently took the sterilized probe and stuck it on his lower abdomen skin.
Although he is not a professional imaging doctor, he is still very proficient in basic abdominal B-ultrasound. Tang Ke also knew that he would, so he didn't bother him. Now his mind is still full of the abnormal detection index, while worrying about Jiang. Not long after his fate was told, he didn't even dare to look at the screen of the inspection instrument.
After a long time of mental construction, he covered his eyes with his hands, showing a slit, and carefully glanced at the screen of the inspection instrument.
But looking at it, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Fuck."
"Shut up."
Jiang Xu tightened his jaw, and looked away from the black and white screen with a blank expression. After a long time, he lowered his head stiffly and looked at his still flat belly.
Since he hadn't been exposed to the sun much, his waist and belly were all white.
Because of regular exercise, he has always had abdominal muscles, but he didn't know if it was his illusion. He actually felt that the lines of the abdominal muscles seemed to have a slight tendency to disappear.
The couplant still remained on the lower abdomen, sticky and slippery, cold, stimulating Jiang Xu's senses and brain.
Jiang Xu's extremely stable surgical hands, trained through years of surgery, were trembling imperceptibly at this moment, revealing his restless heart.
It was as if something had fallen to the ground in his heart, no, it was all the tall buildings in his heart, the worldview he had lived for so many years, and all the experiences he had accumulated from all the books he had memorized, all collapsed into ruins at the same time.
Not a tumor, not cancer.
The echoes of the gestational sac, fetal heart, and fetal buds are complete, and there are many of them. They are the results of "early pregnancy" imaging examinations at the textbook level.
Jiang Xu used to be only mildly myopic, but now, he thinks he might be blind.
"Jiang Xu..." Tang Ke's jaw almost dropped from shock, he held the toilet paper and stammered, "You, give me an explanation."
Jiang Xu took out a few pieces of toilet paper to wipe off the remaining couplant, then put down his clothes, and sat up while buckling his belt, "I would like you to give me an explanation."
Ke Tang specializes in reproductive medicine and developmental biology.
He held out his hand to Tang Ke, "Paper and pen."
Tang Ke hurriedly took out a pen and a post-it note from his pocket and handed them to him. Jiang Xu's handwriting was very scribbled, and he quickly wrote a series of checkups, "I have surgery these two days, come here for a checkup on Sunday morning, help me Arrange for these inspections, it is best to finish them in the morning, and you can add money."
"Hey, let me tell you, it's not..." Tang Ke looked at the instrument and then at Jiang Xu, "Are you still thinking about going to work after this?"
Jiang Xu glanced at him.
"Understood, it's just that Shen Fangyu is going on and on and you are going on and on. It's been so many years since you graduated, why are you two still so clumsy." As their classmate and Jiang Xu's roommate, Tang Ke knew the grievances between the two of them very well.
"Wouldn't it be nice to shake hands and talk to it?" Tang Ke said, "I still remember the third place in the class before, a very pretty girl, who was dazed by the two of you, and then she just lay down and stayed there with peace of mind. No. 3, never competed for No. 1 again.”
He didn't know how to deal with the results of the B-ultrasound, so he could only change the subject crazily to avoid the embarrassment of having nothing to say, "At that time she was joking, saying that it would be great if you fell in love with Shen Fangyu , In this way, you both spend time on exams for affection, and she might still be able to take the first place in the exam."
"Ha, haha." After he finished speaking, he deliberately laughed twice, but Jiang Xu still had no expression on his face. He was very worried whether Jiang Xu had become stupid.
"Brother Xu, you have to be strong." Tang Ke held his arm, and decided to stimulate him with the thing that this person cares most about, "If you are crazy, it will be easy for Shen Fangyu. Think about it, From now on, the obstetrics and gynecology department of Jihua Hospital will be controlled by him alone, can you bear him running rampant in your territory every day?"
Hearing Shen Fangyu's name, Jiang Xu's eyelids finally twitched, showing a slight reaction.
"Thank God." Just when Tang Ke was rejoicing that Jiang Xu hadn't been stimulated to the point of dementia, the latter suddenly said two words: "Stupid."
Tang Ke: "?"
"It's not about you." Jiang Xu handed back the post-it note and the pen to Tang Ke, "You worked hard today, and I'll treat you to dinner after the inspection on Sunday."
He put on his coat and added with a dazed expression, "Don't ask anything until the final full set of inspection results come out."
The author has something to say:
Note:
hcg: human chorionic gonadotropin
Couplant: It is used to exclude the air between the probe and the measured object during ultrasonic inspection, increasing lubrication and facilitating deployment
