Chapter 199: Chapter 133: The Cause Was Armpit Hair, and the Girl Was Confused

After the girl was pushed away, Qin Feng went to Consultation Room 1.

“Su Cheng, a little girl just now is suspected of having viral myocarditis, come with me.”

“Okay, Director Qin.”

Hearing his words, Su Cheng immediately stood up and followed.

In fact, by judging through pulse diagnosis and heart sounds, Qin Feng was almost 100% sure of the diagnosis.

Moreover, the little girl had already shown symptoms of angina and difficulty breathing, which should have reached the moderate stage.

If not treated in time, once it develops to a severe stage, it is very likely to cause shock within a few hours.

It could even be life-threatening!

But why is such a severe condition faced by only the little girl herself?

He could also feel that the little girl seemed to have some unspeakable troubles.

Actually, this little girl already showed obvious symptoms, which gave him great confidence in the diagnosis.

Viral myocarditis is one of the most difficult conditions to diagnose in outpatient and emergency departments. Without various examinations, even the patient themselves wouldn’t realize it—not just the doctors.

Firstly, this disease’s early clinical manifestations are non-specific, greatly affecting the diagnosis.

Secondly, many patients come and always say, ’I just have a cold, diarrhea, why do an ECG? Why draw blood?’

Then they delay themselves and only realize something is wrong when the condition becomes severe.

Some patients even directly enter the outbreak period, causing myocardial infarction.

The ambulance call hasn’t hung up and they’re already gone!

This situation is not uncommon in hospitals!

It happens every year, with a very high mortality rate!

In the laboratory,

Xu Tiantian accidentally pulled on the little girl’s left arm while assisting her onto the CT machine.

“Ouch~!”

The little girl cried out in pain, her whole body instantly convulsing, and sweat beads dropped from her face immediately, her expression twisted.

Xu Tiantian immediately realized something was wrong!

“What’s wrong with your arm?”

She looked at the girl and asked.

“It’s… it’s nothing, just a little inflammation, it’s not a big deal.”

The girl took two deep breaths and said, enduring the pain.

Hearing this, Xu Tiantian didn’t feel reassured at all, instead, she stared intently at the armpit.

After the girl finished the last chest CT, she took the little girl back to the consultation room.

“How is it?”

Qin Feng asked as the two returned.

“It’s already scheduled for urgency; the examination results will be sent over in a while, but Director Qin, there’s definitely something wrong with this girl’s armpit. I just lifted her slightly and she was in so much pain.”

Xu Tiantian looked at the little girl lying on the hospital bed and whispered,

“She said it’s inflammation, but it didn’t seem like it to me.”

“I know, let’s check it first.”

Qin Feng nodded and walked to the little girl’s side,

“Young lady, can you take off your T-shirt so we can have a check?”

“It’s… it’s nothing, really nothing.”

Upon hearing this, the little girl’s face turned red, and she shook her head in panic.

Qin Feng could understand, after all, it’s summer, and the little girl was wearing nothing but a long-sleeved T-shirt.

If they had to check under the armpit, it meant she would have to take it off, leaving only her undergarments.

“Sigh~ Do you know what illness you’ve got?”

Qin Feng looked at her helplessly, his expression turning serious,

“It most likely is viral myocarditis. If it is, you need to be hospitalized for treatment. This disease can be so serious that it might cost you your life!

Do you understand?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl froze, and then her eyes turned panic-stricken, her whole body beginning to tremble lightly.

Soon after, tears the size of beans rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

“I… I….”

“How about this, we’ll go out, and let this lady doctor examine you, is that okay?”

Qin Feng pointed to Xu Tiantian and said.

The little girl bit her lip and nodded.

Qin Feng glanced at Su Cheng beside him, and the two turned around and went out, closing the door.

“Hiss~ It hurts~”

Soon, soft groans of pain came from the consultation room, and in less than thirty seconds, the door to the room slammed open.

“Director Qin, come in quickly and take a look!”

Xu Tiantian’s expression was evidently off, and she said urgently, pointing at the little girl on the bed,

“Don’t move! Moving like that will cost you your life!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng quickly rushed into the consultation room. At that moment, seeing him come in, the little girl hurriedly sat up, trying to pull her shirt down.

As a result, her arm went limp, and her whole body fell to the ground.

Qin Feng, quick and agile, took a step forward, extended his arm to support the little girl’s waist and legs, and lifted her onto the hospital bed.

“You… you… let go of me~”

The little girl seemed to struggle to get free, her face flushed as she reached out to push him away.

“Don’t move!”

Qin Feng shouted sharply.

The little girl immediately froze, no longer moving erratically, just turning her head away and biting her lip tightly.

But his heart sank suddenly!

Because at this moment, the little girl’s left armpit was completely red, swollen like a bun, and the surface already had a layer of transparent skin.

No wonder she couldn’t lower her arm all along!

Clusters of swollen red spots could be seen on the skin, roughly twenty or thirty, densely packed.

Beneath the skin, some yellowish fluid with traces of blood slowly oozed from the red spots.

Injuries!

All of them were injuries!

“Hiss~ How did it become like this?”

Seeing this scene, Su Cheng couldn’t help but draw a breath, rushing forward.

“The pathogen should be found, adenovirus infection!”

Qin Feng’s expression was grave, his tone low, and he immediately said,

“Quickly call the cardiothoracic department, let Director Zhang or Deputy Director Cao come over! Quick!”

“Okay, I’ll go right away!”

Su Cheng hurried out to notify the cardiothoracic department.

At this moment,

The little girl’s body suddenly slackened, losing consciousness.

Crap!

“Ventricular fibrillation! Quickly get the defibrillator!”

Qin Feng noticed something wrong and quickly shouted to Xu Tiantian.

He watched the little girl on the hospital bed nervously, his brows tightly furrowed.

What’s this all about!

“Defibrillator is here!”

Quickly, Nurse Chief Liu pushed the defibrillator in, Qin Feng hastily picked up the defibrillator, Xu Tiantian loosened the little girl’s undergarment, exposing the skin above her chest.

“Charge to 150J, clear the bed!”

Bang~

After one shock, Qin Feng put on a stethoscope to listen.

The heart rate was still racing, soaring to over 240!

“Once more, charge to 150J, clear the bed!”

Bang~

Listening again, the heart rate started to decrease, pulling back.

“Immediately monitor, push 20mg ATP (adenosine triphosphate) intravenously, open the intravenous channel for rapid fluid replenishment, and administer 5g of FDP (fructose diphosphate) intravenously.”

“Okay, I’m on it! Xiaozhang, prepare the infusion!”

Hearing this, Liu Juan dashed out like the wind, shouting loudly.

“Xu Tiantian, increase her blood routine, biochemistry, blood gas analysis, peripheral blood lymphocyte subgroups, and pathogen analysis.

Find a way to notify her family, expedite the admission!”

Qin Feng looked at Xu Tiantian and quickly arranged everything.

At this moment, Su Cheng also rushed in with Cardiothoracic Director Zhang Fan.

“Qin Feng, what’s happening?”

“The patient has severe inflammation under the arm with adenovirus infection, causing viral myocarditis, and just experienced one ventricular fibrillation, with a high chance of cardiogenic shock.”

Qin Feng pointed to the unconscious little girl on the hospital bed and said,

“Director Zhang, please have cardiothoracic department take over, all tests have already been arranged. First perform the necessary treatments, contact the family later.”

“No family? Okay, understood.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan paused momentarily, but then started arranging immediately.

In such special cases, cardiothoracic has encountered many emergencies following the priority of saving lives.

City Hospital One has the resources and can handle it.

“By the way, the situation of this little girl is quite special, arrange a female attending, you all should not get directly involved.”

Qin Feng suddenly thought of something and quickly patted Zhang Fan to say.

Zhang Fan looked at the little girl upon hearing this, nodded to indicate understanding.

Soon,

The little girl was taken to the cardiothoracic surgery department, and all related treatments were immediately arranged.

After completing the handover, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was also somewhat relieved, if this little girl hadn’t come to the hospital, but stayed at home.

If no one at home had noticed, serious consequences were likely!

Around 5 PM, four general attending physicians continued to participate in neurology outpatient pathological diagnosis training.

Qin Feng, having nothing urgent to attend to, went to see the little girl from the morning at cardiothoracic.

“Director Qin, you’re here.”

The female attendant from cardiothoracic, Gao Ling, stood up to greet him when she saw him.

“How is the little girl?”

“She has woken up, not in a very good state. The inflammation under her arm is quite severe, but the pus has been drained and the myocarditis is controlled with medication.”

“Have her parents been contacted?”

“They have been reached, and are on their way to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded his head, and the two walked into the ward together.

The little girl noticed their entrance, especially finding Qin Feng there, she paused momentarily, blushing, and quickly turned aside.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but smile amusedly.

This young lady is truly stubborn.

The severe inflammation under her arm indicates the condition has been developing for at least half a month or more.

Even a normal person would find it unbearable, yet she held out till now to come to the hospital.

Such daring!

“What’s the matter? Mad at me?”

Qin Feng sat on the stool beside the little girl’s bed, a slight smile played on his lips as he said,

“Do you know how serious your illness is? If you left it untreated, you might not survive, do you understand?”

At this, the little girl couldn’t help but start sobbing.

Beside her, the female attendant doctor Gao Ling sighed softly.

“Director Qin, her situation is…”

“I know.”

Qin Feng lifted his hand to interrupt her, nodding in understanding.

This situation is quite evident, probably the little girl secretly removed her underarm hair and did not want her family to know.

But it’s summer, bathing is unavoidable, along with the hot weather, underarm sweat glands mixed with bacteria caused the hair follicles to get infected.

After inflammation, the little girl probably did not seek medical treatment, hoping it would heal naturally.

But it spiraled to this point.

Many adolescent girls upon reaching puberty, go through this normal physiological situation.

But the present environment is such that, on TV or phones, all girls seen raising their arms have impeccably smooth underarms, as if armpit hair never existed.

So naturally, it becomes an assumed fact for both boys and girls!

Of course,

some girls genuinely do not have armpit hair, or have very little that goes unnoticed.

Yet most girls grow it and then try hard to remove, shave, or pluck it to make it look beautiful and neat.

However, they are oblivious to the harm it causes!

Forceful hair removal can lead to secretion overflow in the underarm area, like oils, escalating local infection, facilitated by hyperhidrosis.

This can also result in body odor, mild folliculitis, or severe cases like now.

Once infected by a virus, it can easily trigger changes in vital organs including lungs and heart, even endangering life.

It is of no benefit to the body!

Hair removal is not impossible, but it must be done using proper methods through legitimate means.

With current medical technology, hair can be removed through ice point procedures, even though it still affects physiology, at least control is greater.

Such forceful hair removal, especially in crucial areas, is really not advisable!

But these words are not quite appropriate for him to say to the little girl, Gao Ling, being a woman, can communicate better.

Young girls in their formative years require family guidance, which is his purpose in visiting cardiothoracic.

“Honghong! Honghong!”

At this moment, a woman’s voice called out from outside,

“Which ward is my daughter Honghong in?”

“Please don’t rush, what’s your daughter’s name?”

“Ding Honghong.”

“Oh, she’s in bed 23, just ahead.”

Upon hearing the commotion, Qin Feng glanced at the little girl’s bed number.

The family has arrived!
