Chapter 1465 - 1468: Practical Diagnostic Assessment

Almost at the moment when Shen Qiang used his Observation Skill to see through the girl's condition at a glance, everyone in the classroom looked at the lecturer with astonished eyes, because in clinical medicine, more diagnoses require precise test reports for support.Making a judgment with just one glance not only has a high rate of misdiagnosis but is also more likely to lead to disputes. Therefore, generally speaking, diagnoses cannot be made without various laboratory reports.

In fact, when you have a fever, the body temperature rises, which not only makes some pathogenic microorganisms less active and less likely to reproduce, but the body's immune system response also significantly increases.

The white blood cell count increases, and the bactericidal activity of phagocytes and neutrophils is enhanced, among other things. So fever is actually an evolutionary protective mechanism acquired by the human body to fight against pathogenic microorganism infections.

So an ordinary fever is just the body fighting against pathogens and doesn't cause real harm.

The truly harmful high fever to the human body is generally above 40 degrees Celsius, but to ensure safety, in medicine, it is usually recommended to reduce the fever when the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees.

"What's the teacher doing? Fever is very common, and there are many causes for it. How can it be determined just by observation?" Many students, confused and shocked, looked at the lecturer.

The lecturer on the podium was full of helplessness.

Originally, it was a great opportunity to inspire many students, and as a result, Zong Zijin's casual remark shifted it to questioning Shen Qiang's character, directly leading his proud plan astray.

In this case, if another matter cannot be found immediately to capture the students' attention, it is clear that they will inevitably be immersed in endless speculation about Shen Qiang.

Therefore, in this situation, a practical clinical diagnosis case is obviously the best.

"Miss, please cooperate, as their diagnosis might be more accurate than just buying a few pills yourself." The lecturer comforted the girl briefly, then coldly looked at the whispering students and said, "Medical students should know that time is life. If you have all the complete health indicators, then whether it's the professor or you top students, making a diagnosis is easy."

"But if you don't, are you helpless?" the lecturer asked, "So, imagine if you were traveling, on the road, or in a mountain village and encountered a dying patient. Would you just watch and, like a useless person, say, 'Oh, her condition is terrible, quickly send her to the hospital, I have no idea what's wrong without a lab report'?"

Hearing this, and looking at the lecturer's mocking expression.

Many students present focused their sharp eyes.

After all, this is not an ordinary school.

It's the Medical University, Graduate School.

Those who can get in here might lack experience, but when it comes to theoretical knowledge, they definitely surpass ordinary doctors by a huge margin.

"Teacher, I think your suggestion has a problem. First of all, there are many cases of fever, commonly two types: one is infectious fever, including various bacterial infections, viral infections, mycoplasma infections, etc., and the other is connective tissue disease, malignant tumors, etc."

"If you want to break it down further, there are even more cases. Can the teacher make an accurate and clear diagnosis without laboratory reports?"

The lecturer smiled at the obviously critical student and said, "I cannot, but don't forget, with a fever, different symptoms of various diseases will appear in clinical settings. For example, infectious fever usually accompanies lymph node enlargement."

"The characteristics of connective tissue disease include irregular fever accompanied by joint pain, polymorphic rash, photosensitivity, Raynaud's phenomenon, serositis, and other phenomena. So come on, your opportunity to prove whether you are a cat or a lion has arrived."

"You can also consider this a small practical assessment; the patient is here in front of you. Use the knowledge and talent you have acquired to prove your excellence, and to ensure fairness, I will personally pay for a comprehensive examination for this student. Then, the results will be clear at a glance."

"Whose diagnosis is closest, undoubtedly their level is higher; whose diagnosis is unreliable, their level is lower, and this is also common in hospitals."

The lecturer laughed and said, "The reason why expert consultation slots in big hospitals are hard to get is right here. Because experts can tell at a glance what disease the patient might have, then directly conduct a specialized examination according to their diagnosis. Over ninety percent of the time, as soon as the test reports are out, a definitive diagnosis can be made immediately without error."

"Ordinary doctors cannot do this; they will have a head full of questions, asking you to have a comprehensive examination, then look at all the documents, and match what they memorized in their head bit by bit before diagnosing."

"So come on!" The lecturer's eyes shone brightly as he said, "Show your skills and see who among you is more proficient!"

With that, the lecturer stepped to the side, took a chair, and placed it next to the female student, saying, "Please sit."

Then, looking at the silent students present, the lecturer smiled and said, "What, weren't you all speaking so righteously just now? You have the courage to contradict the teacher face-to-face, but not the courage to treat the patient?"

Hearing this, many students' eyes brightened.

Shen Qiang, who had been watching quietly, also flashed a smile. In fact, since the Observation Skill was upgraded some time ago, it indeed greatly helped Shen Qiang in diagnosis, allowing him to basically diagnose with just a glance.

But this is also inseparable from Shen Qiang's own efforts.

Because the original Observation Skill, even if it could diagnose, was clearly based on traditional Chinese medicine theories. For example, in fever, the Medical Saint Inheritance's Chinese medicine theory believes there are only two causes, divided into external and internal injury.

This coincides with modern medicine and is enough to prove that the ancestors were indeed impressive.

But going further, it becomes as profound and hard to understand as mysticism.

For instance, for external febrile diseases, the Medical Saint Inheritance explains that it is caused by the influence of the six evil factors and epidemic Qi; internal febrile diseases are mostly due to overdiet, fatigue, or emotional changes leading to an imbalance of Yin and Yang, and deficiency of Qi and blood.

The more mysterious part is that external febrile diseases are more substantial, seen in colds, typhoid, febrile illnesses, and plagues; internal febrile diseases are mostly deficient, including Yin deficiency fever, Yang deficiency fever, blood deficiency fever, Qi deficiency fever, consumptive fever, floating Yang fever, hemorrhagic fever, etc.

If you don't spend years, even decades, on it, regardless of your talent, you would definitely be dumbfounded.

But the situation is different now. Having studied modern medicine, Shen Qiang, as if updating the operating system of his Observation Skill, receives feedback that is not only more intuitive but also seems to be bundled with the knowledge Shen Qiang learned. Not only can it diagnose directly, it can also instantly provide a perfect treatment plan.
