Chapter 380: Pulmonary Nodules!
New Year's Day.
Lu Chen was woken up by a WeChat notification sound.
In my heart, my junior brothers and sisters from District 8, as well as my old classmates, all sent me New Year greetings via WeChat.
Regardless of whether others copied and pasted the content of New Year greetings, Lu Chen simply replied.
Lu Chen also received a New Year greeting message from Wang Ruoxi.
In the past few months, Wang Ruoxi's concern for him seemed a little unusual.
However, as a straight man, Lu Chen simply ignored the other party's hints.
Wang Ruoxi also gradually became colder. After all, someone else is also the regional manager of AstraZeneca!
Later, Lu Chen sent New Year greetings to several teachers on WeChat.
For example, Instructor Li Yao, Senior Sister Zhang Guoguo, and some teachers I met at Jinghua Second Hospital.
Lu Chen thought for a while and sent a blessing WeChat message to Professor Ouyang Ming.
He added Professor Ouyang Ming's WeChat account, but it was not clear whether the old professor usually used WeChat.
Unexpectedly, within ten minutes, Ouyang Ming responded to WeChat.
"Lu Chen, Happy New Year. I look forward to meeting you at the electrophysiology training class in Kyoto in half a year!"
Lu Chen was stunned. Professor Ouyang Ming's WeChat message revealed that he would also serve as one of the instructors of the electrophysiology training class.
Thinking of the electrophysiology training class in half a year, Lu Chen had a vague expectation in his heart.
At present, he usually works as an assistant to instructor Li Yao in the cath lab.
He was not qualified to perform electrophysiology surgery at all and could only start as an assistant.
Only by passing the electrophysiology training class and obtaining the electrophysiology interventional certificate can he truly become an electrophysiology interventional doctor.
Otherwise, he can only perform surgery in the simulated operating room.
Lu Chen has set another small goal for himself. In the new year, he will strive to publish an SCI paper, and then successfully graduate as an electrophysiologist and obtain a certificate in electrophysiological intervention!
…
In the first few days of the New Year, Lu Chen went around with his parents to pay New Year greetings.
It is not good at all to have many relatives, and it takes several days to pay New Year greetings.
Cousin Lu Hao returned to Jiangcheng early because of his tight schedule.
During the New Year greetings, Lu Chen couldn't help being asked about all kinds of messy things by his seven aunts and eight aunts.
For example, if you are studying medicine now, can you treat me and prescribe medicine?
Do all your doctors get rebates for medicines?
Are you talking about a girlfriend now? There were even relatives who wanted to help Lu Chen introduce his girlfriend.
However, this time, Lu Chen's excellence directly turned him into "someone else's child."
Every time he went to a house, his relatives would compare Lu Chen with his own children and try to educate them properly.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Chen finally visited all his relatives' houses and could have a good rest at home.
After staying at home for another two days, he will return to Beijing.
…
"Xiaochen, your second grandfather is going to the hospital for a physical examination today." Lu Wenguo happened to be at work today and went to the hospital for a physical examination with Lu Chaoming.
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded.
As long as I finish my physical examination today and can see the chest CT image report, it should be fine!
"Xiaochen, I've been busy these past two days, and I forgot to ask you." Lu Wenguo said suddenly, "Why do you insist on letting your second grandfather go for a physical examination? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Chen paused, there was no need to hide this matter.
"Dad, didn't I auscultate my second grandpa's lungs on the night of New Year's Eve?" Lu Chen said slowly, "I found a place on his back where he could hear rumbles!"
"Qianluoyin?" Lu Wenguo frowned.
He is a doctor of hepatobiliary surgery. Although he does not have the expertise of an internist in auscultation, he thinks he should be better than a first-time clinician.
"If it's just dry rales, it may not have particularly great clinical significance. When your second grandfather was young, he was a heavy smoker and suffered from bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It's not surprising." Lu Wenguo said.
"Dad, I also asked the second grandfather that he also has a history of frequent coughing." Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, it is better to let him get a checkup. But if I tell him directly, the second grandfather will definitely not I will agree, but I can only find an excuse to say that there is a free physical examination quota, so that the second grandfather is willing to go. "
"Yes." Lu Wenguo nodded slightly, "Xiaochen, you are more thoughtful. Although your second grandfather is not afraid of the sky or the earth, he is very taboo about being hospitalized!"
Lu Chen knew that his second grandfather was quite stubborn.
Before you figure out the truth of the matter, telling him directly may be counterproductive, so this is the only way to go!
"That's it, I'm going to work. After your second grandfather's physical examination is completed, I will check the results first and then tell you."
"OK."
After saying that, Lu Wenguo took his little black bag and went to work.
…
Binh Duong Central Hospital.
Lu Chaoming and his granddaughter Li Huiyan arrived at the physical examination building of the outpatient clinic early in the morning.
"Huiyan, you have to thank Xiaochen and his father for me. There is a lot of content in this physical examination." Lu Chaoming held a physical examination report in his hand.
It records all the examination items this time, including routine examination indicators, as well as electrocardiogram, new chest CT and abdominal ultrasound.
A normal physical examination does not include CT scans.
"Grandpa, just finish the physical examination with peace of mind." Li Huiyan smiled, "As for my cousin, I will tell you."
"Yes." Lu Chaoming smiled and nodded, and then started the first physical examination of the day.
…
Lu Wenguo has been paying attention to the progress of Lu Chaoming's examination.
He clicked on the hospital's internal examination query system to see if Lu Chaoming had done a chest CT scan.
The results of the physical examination usually don't come out immediately.
Instead, it takes one to two weeks for the hospital to issue them uniformly.
All Lu Wenguo can see now are the imaging patterns of the examination.
10 o'clock in the morning.
When Lu Wenguo refreshed the examination website interface, he suddenly found that there was a new examination completed under Lu Chaoming's name.
"Have you completed the CT scan?" Lu Wenguo clicked it immediately.
An imaging image of the chest CT scan appeared in Lu Wenguo's eyes.
Then, he clicked on the image again.
Now the CT scan results have not come out yet, only one image has been produced.
"It should be fine." Lu Wenguo thought of what Lu Chen said this morning, and his heart tightened a little, and he was very alert.
Although he is a surgeon, he can still interpret simple CT images, but he is not as professional as a doctor in the imaging department.
After clicking on the CT image, Lu Wenguo carefully looked at every section.
"This is..."
Suddenly, he saw a small nodule near Lu Chaoming's back!
This nodule was very small and mixed with the surrounding bronchi and lymph nodes.
"This location is exactly the same as what Lu Chen said!" Lu Wenguo was shocked.
He watched it again and confirmed the existence of the lung nodule!
