The only time was when I had a child, just a few stitches.
At that time, they probably used anesthesia.
"Okay, Ms. Qi, may I ask about the composition of your family members?"
This meant that the other party had not undergone general anesthesia surgery, so Zhang Lingchuan decided to find clues from her family members to verify his assumptions.
Because such patients often have a family history of genetic abnormalities, related to genetic mutations and hereditary.
In short, if similar symptoms have appeared in the family, then the children are at high risk of carrying the disease.
"My family? We used to be a family of four, me, my mom, my dad, and my brother, but currently, it's just me and my mom alive. My brother accidentally drowned when he was a child, my dad died in the hospital over a decade ago due to advanced brain tumor."
Qi Yuqin said somewhat helplessly, now there is just one daughter in their family.
There was an older brother back then.
Unfortunately, he drowned accidentally while catching fish.
That happened twenty or thirty years ago.
My brother was eight at the time, and I was three, and now I'm already thirty-three.
The other one is her father.
He also died of a brain tumor when I was in high school.
"Advanced brain tumor, died in the hospital? Ms. Qi, can you recall the situation at the time? Since this counts as your family medical history, I need to record it in detail!"
Hearing that her father died of a brain tumor in the hospital, Zhang Lingchuan's eyes lit up instantly.
His intuition told him that this must be an extremely crucial piece of information.
Because knowing is not enough.
He must persuade the hospital.
"Well... it was about fifteen or sixteen years ago, right? I was in high school at the time, and my dad was in the late stage of a brain tumor and in a lot of pain, plus he didn't have much time left. The doctor said surgery could extend a bit of time. Our family wasn't wealthy, but we had some savings because we ran a little clothing store on the village street. After discussing it, we decided to take out the money and try our best to prolong his time a bit more. But unexpectedly, after pushing into the operating room, it didn't take long before something happened inside. Then we saw a lot of doctors rush in, and finally, my dad passed away that day, not even able to take a last breath and return to the village."
Qi Yuqin recalled the events of the past.
Their family belonged to a relatively remote township, each township having its small market area.
And their family just happened to live in that area, referred to as the street.
Her parents sold clothes on that street.
Back then, when Taobao and online shopping hadn't appeared, their business was very good. Many people would go to the township street to buy clothes during New Year.
So their family was considered pretty good for that era.
But as times changed, buying clothes became more convenient, transportation got better, and the shops in the township basically had no business.
However, her mother, who had been running the clothing store for many years, also had the skill to tailor clothes, so now if clothes couldn't be sold, she specialized in tasks like shortening pants or replacing zippers. It was barely enough to get by.
This is why when she asked her mother to come live in the city, she refused.
Because in the countryside, she knew everyone.
And still had her little shop.
Arriving in the city, she felt like an idiot.
Out of place.
This is actually a common phenomenon among the older generation.
The rural life and city life are severely disconnected.
Her mom knows people back home, and the neighbors could help.
But coming to the city, she wouldn't know anyone.
Thinking about how her father is no longer around, having the neighborhood uncles, aunts, and siblings around isn't bad.
She didn't insist that her mother move to the city.
"So you're saying a sudden complication occurred during your father's surgery. Do you know the specific cause of death? Did the hospital have any investigation report?"
A trace of delight crossed Zhang Lingchuan's heart.
This sensation of peeling back layers of truth made him inexplicably excited.
"I'm not sure about that. It could be that the advanced brain tumor was already life-threatening, plus, back in those days, things weren't as regulated, so probably there wasn't any investigation responsibility."
Qi Yuqin shook her head.
In her memory, there was no report of any investigation.
Her father passed, and they just brought him home for the burial.
"I see. Ms. Qi, do you remember the scene during the resuscitation? Did any doctor mention the patient's sudden fever, high temperature, or convulsions..."
Without the related report, it's indeed troublesome.
"Let me think... it seems, it seems they did mention my dad had a sudden fever..."
Qi Yuqin was trying hard to remember the scene back then.
Unknowingly, the time had reached two forty.
"Okay, thank you Ms. Qi for your cooperation. I'll take my leave now."
After a period of careful inquiry, Zhang Lingchuan left the bedside, thinking he probably knew the answer.
It's truly going round and round.
The examination system was hiding here all along!!
The patient they went to treat was suffering from an extremely rare hereditary metabolic myopathy.
This disease is related to congenital genes, generally asymptomatic, but may be triggered by inhalation anesthetic or muscle relaxants.
To be honest, who could get an exam question like this right?
Even a senior professor would mess up.
Looks like he should head to the office first.
Find the Emergency Department's associate director Wu Xiang, hoping he wouldn't rush the surgery and make sure the basic precautions are set.
