Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Soon, other test results were sent to the ward.

What’s strange is that all tests for toxins, heavy metals and radioactive substances have returned the same result: not detected.

A normal person would definitely smile at this moment.

But Hank's expression now no longer had the ease he had at the beginning.

The private doctor was puzzled and asked him respectfully, "Sir, with so many good results in a row, why do you look more and more serious?"

Hank was depressed.

He couldn't say that he was expecting an abnormal result so that he could relate it to his inexplicable impotence.

He could only say, "I've heard the Chinese say this before. They mean that people who always have some minor health problems actually live longer, while those who have never had any health problems are more likely to suddenly get some serious illness and die quickly. Do you think their statement makes sense?"

"This one……"

The private doctor hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't think it necessarily makes sense. It's more of a survivor bias. I think people with many minor illnesses don't live longer because of them, but because they have many minor illnesses, they will have to deal with hospitals and doctors more often than the average person. In this way, if they have any major diseases in their body, they can often be discovered at the first time;"

Then he added: "As for those who have always been in very good health and have no problems, they will become careless over time and think that they will be fine under any circumstances. If cancer cells are already growing in their bodies at this time, they will definitely show up when they are in a critical condition. By then, it will often be too late to see a doctor."

"Yeah!" Hank nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs up, saying, "I think what you said makes sense! People should still believe in science!"

After saying this, he suddenly asked himself in his heart: "No, I don't believe in science! I have impotence, and science can't find out why. This is obviously not within the jurisdiction of science."

So, he overturned his private doctor's words in his heart, muttering to himself: "Well, no matter what, I still hope to find out some problems."

The private doctor was surprised and wondered what was wrong with this guy? He always cherished his life! Well, if there was anything abnormal, he would be more nervous than anyone else and must treat it in the best way.

Why am I expecting something to go wrong today?

He couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, he suddenly received a message on his mobile phone. The message was from the attending physician, asking him to go to the office immediately.

So the private doctor quickly stood up and said, "Sir, the doctor wants me to go over for something. I'll go first and be back soon."

Hank nodded, and the private doctor walked towards the office.

After the private doctor left, Hank said in the group: "Brothers, all my tests so far are normal. This is both good news and bad news for me. The good news is that there should be no problem with my pancreas. Don't be nervous. I will get the king of cancer. The bad news is that if there is still no abnormality in the end, our impotence problem may not be explained by medicine."

Everyone suddenly felt a little depressed.

At this time, the private doctor had already arrived at the attending physician's office.

He pushed open the door and asked quickly, "Doctor Johnson, is there any problem that you are looking for me so urgently?"

Dr. Johnson nodded and said in a very serious tone, "George, compared with three months ago, one of Mr. Hank's test results shows a bad abnormality."

"Great!" the private doctor blurted out, "You don't know that Mr. Hank waited for an abnormality for a whole night!"

Dr. Johnson was stunned. "Waiting for something abnormal, what does it mean to wait all night? Is Mr. Hank expecting something abnormal to happen to his body?"

The private doctor smiled and said, "You are right. Mr. Hank just wants his body to show a little abnormality. When there is nothing abnormal, it seems to make him more anxious."

"God damn..." Dr. Johnson pushed his glasses and said awkwardly, "But Dr. Han wouldn't expect his CA199 index to be abnormal, right?"

The personal doctor who had been smiling just now suddenly had a dull expression.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and blurted out: "What did you say about the abnormal ca199 index? Are you kidding me?"

As Hank's personal doctor, he is well aware of various important physical indicators. CA199 is a carbohydrate antigen, also commonly known as a tumor marker. There are many types of tumor markers, and different tumor markers often correspond to tumor problems in different parts of the body.

In most cases, if a person does not have cancer cells in the body, all tumor markers must be within the normal range.

Once tumor markers become abnormal, there is a high probability that the patient has cancer.

Of course, abnormal tumor markers do not necessarily mean that there is cancer, but the probability is very high.

Especially this CA199, which is related to digestive system cancers such as pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer, and is extremely sensitive.

Once this indicator becomes abnormal, there is a high probability that it is digestive system cancer.

So he quickly asked, "What is Mr. Hank's CA199 index this time?"

Dr. Johnson hesitated for a moment before saying, "628..."

"What the hell did you say?!"

The private doctor just felt dizzy. The normal limit of CA199 is 37. Exceeding this value means there is a problem, and the greater the proportion of exceeding this value, the higher the probability of a problem.

Hank's CA199 index soared to 628. Based on his experience, this was basically pancreatic cancer.

So he quickly asked, "Mr. Hank, what was the CA199 index three months ago?"

Dr. Johnson said, "Three months ago it was 12..."

The private doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "It's only been three months, and the number has skyrocketed dozens of times. This is too fast..."

Johnson nodded. "It's indeed very fast, but it's not exaggerated for pancreatic cancer. Some patients develop the disease very quickly and die within a few months. So Mr. Hank is not the one who develops the fastest. At most, he is in the middle."

"Oh my god..." the private doctor asked nervously, "Should we do a full body scan right away to confirm the size of the lesion and whether it has spread?"

"Confirmed." Dr. Johnson said, "You decide whether you should tell Mr. Hank or I should tell him. Explain it clearly to him and get his consent. We will immediately arrange for a nurse to inject him with contrast agent, and then we can arrange for a whole-body scan."

"I'll go and tell him..." the private doctor murmured, "If you go, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this blow."

With that, the private doctor hurried back to Hank's ward.

At this time, Hank was lying in the group, chatting with those brothers.

Seeing the private doctor coming back, he smiled and asked, "How is the situation?"

The private doctor didn't know how to tell him for a moment, so he coughed awkwardly: "Mr. Hank...um...there's something wrong with one of your indicators..."

"Ouch?" Hank instantly became happy, got up from the bed, and asked with a smile: "Which indicator is wrong? Tell me quickly to make me happy!"
