I Can See Health

"Oh, wait, don't say that yet."

Lu Chen quickly stopped Zou Wei.

"What's wrong?"

Zou Wei withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and looked at Lu Chen aside.

He was just joking.

Now it has become an established fact that he will undergo surgery to insert a pacemaker.

"What if I said you really might not need a pacemaker?"

A smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips.

"What?" Zou Wei was stunned, "Dr. Lu, are you kidding me again?"

"Do you think I would make a joke about something like this?" Lu Chen still had a faint smile on his face.

But at this moment, in Zou Wei's opinion, Lu Chen's smile was so handsome and attractive.

"You, are you telling the truth?" Zou Wei's voice was trembling.

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Why? Why don't I need a pacemaker?" Zou Wei swallowed and got up from the bed excitedly.

Lu Chen said seriously: "If I guessed correctly, you should have Lyme carditis!"

"What disease, what kind of inflammation?"

Zou Wei's eyes widened and he had no idea what Lu Chen was talking about.

Lu Chen smiled, "Actually, it's a common disease in your South China Sea Island, Lyme disease caused by tick bites."

"Lyme disease?" Zou Wei frowned, "Does this have anything to do with my heart?"

"Of course there is a connection!" Lu Chen continued, "Lyme disease may invade various tissues of the human body, including the heart!"

Lyme disease is a tick-borne spirochetal infectious disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.

This disease is a systemic disease. When Borrelia burgdorferi spreads in the blood and affects heart tissue, it is called Lyme carditis.

"My slow heart rate is also caused by Lyme disease?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly: "Lyme disease can cause Lyme carditis in up to 10% of cases. It is more common in young men and often manifests as atrioventricular block. Sick sinus syndrome has been seen in case reports. "

"However, at present, the specific mechanism of sick sinus syndrome in Lyme disease is not yet clear."

Hearing this, Zou Wei's heart lifted again.

"The mechanism is not clear, so what should we do? Can it be cured?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about the mechanism for the time being. We just need to treat your Lyme disease."

Once the cause of Lyme disease is treated, the slow heart rate will naturally recover.

"That's great! What are you waiting for? Give me the treatment quickly!" Zou Wei looked particularly excited. He tightly grasped the cuffs of Lu Chen's white coat.

He wished Lu Chen would drug him right now.

"Don't worry." Lu Chen said with a smile, "My current diagnosis is also based on your clinical symptoms. If you really want to confirm the diagnosis, you need to do a blood test."

If the Lyme disease serology antibody is positive, then it is correct to have been infected with Lyme disease.

"Check, check, check now!" Zou Wei immediately rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms.

With this look, he almost wanted to take a needle and draw blood for himself.

Lu Chen could understand Zou Wei's excitement, "The blood test now will have to wait for the results tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I can't rush it."

Zou Wei scratched his head and suppressed his excitement, "Okay, I will listen to you now."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You have a good rest now, and I will ask the nurse to draw your blood later."

"Yeah, yeah."

Zou Wei nodded quickly, and then lay down on the bed very obediently.

…

Return to the department.

Lu Chen first asked the nurse to collect blood, and then shared his latest findings with everyone.

Everyone in the department was shocked when they heard this.

“Lyme carditis?”

"This disease is so rare. This is the first time I've heard of such a diagnosis."

"But it makes sense. If young people have such slow heart rates, we really need to look carefully for the reasons."

Everyone was talking a lot and were very interested in this new diagnosis.

"Lu Chen, where did you see this disease?" Jiao Jingqiu blinked at Lu Chen. She was too curious about Lu Chen now.

This man is a walking medical jack-of-all-trades.

"I once read an article once in a while." Lu Chen smiled, "Actually, this disease is not uncommon in our country."

"Tell us quickly." Jiao Jingqiu immediately came to Lu Chen's side.

Others also listened with their ears pricked up.

Lu Chen lowered his voice and began: "According to research from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Lyme disease infection rate among Chinese people is very high."

"A study from the South China Sea that conducted relevant tests on patients with arthritis and neurological symptoms also confirmed that 10% of the patients had initial screening seropositivity, and 2% were eventually diagnosed with Lyme disease."

"It can be seen that Lyme disease is also a common disease in China. It's just that our doctors miss diagnosis of Lyme disease in large numbers!"

"..."

Lu Chen talked a lot, and the others listened with great interest.

"Congratulations, I received a thank you value of +5 from Jiao Jingqiu!"

"Congratulations……"

Lu Chen also added a wave of gratitude points by the way.

After listening to Lu Chen's lecture, Jiao Jingqiu couldn't help but sigh: "In fact, in clinical work, when young patients develop sick sinus syndrome, Lyme disease carditis should be included in the differential diagnosis."

Jiao Jingqiu's voice immediately won the support of others.

After all, if a young person needs a pacemaker, it will really affect the rest of his life.

…

I don’t know if it’s because Zou Wei used his connections.

The results of the test, which was supposed to take a day or two, were sent out that afternoon.

Zou Wei's Lyme disease serology, IgG and IGM were both positive.

This time, it was completely confirmed!

When Zou Wei learned the news, he almost cried with joy.

"Doctor Lu, you are my last big brother!" Zou Wei took Lu Chen's hand, "If it weren't for you, the rest of my life would be ruined!"

Lu Chen quickly retracted his hand and joked: "I remember you said this morning, why are you not close to women? Is there such a thing?"

Zou Wei, however, remained calm and said without a beat: "Of course there is such a thing. What I'm talking about is that women are not allowed to have sexual intercourse. It's forbidden."

Lu Chen: "..."

Can it still be like this?

"Hehe. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net" Zou Wei smiled, "Brother Lu, if you have time to come to Nanhai Island in the future, I will be your host. I guarantee your satisfaction."

Zou Wei's name for Lu Chen has changed from Doctor Lu to "Brother Lu".

The gratitude he felt towards Lu Chen in his heart could be described as zero tears, which was not exaggerated at all.

"My small body can't endure it." Lu Chen smiled, "Now that Lyme disease has been diagnosed, surgery will definitely be unnecessary. The next step is antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease..."

Antibiotic therapy is an effective treatment that can prevent patients from having unnecessary pacemakers implanted.

Zou Wei now really obeyed Lu Chen's words.

He would do whatever Lu Chen asked him to do.

Let him stay in the hospital for a few days, then stay in the hospital for a few days!
