Chapter 787 "Ghost" upper body?
"Director Lu, could the patient be... rabies?"

One of the graduate students suddenly spoke up.

"I heard that the patient once had an attack. It was not convulsions or disturbance of consciousness, but a sudden loss of emotional control, irritability, hyperactivity, nonsense, yelling, like crazy, really like being bitten by a dog."

Lu Chen knew this student, he was a graduate student in the group, but his major was respiratory department, and he was now on rotation in the cardiology department.

Rabies does have similar mental symptoms.

If it is really rabies, then the danger is great!
However, the patient did not have a series of symptoms such as opisthotonos and photophobia.

Most importantly, the patient had no recent medical history of being bitten by a dog.

Gu Xinyue directly denied the diagnosis, saying: "The family members have been with the patient these days, and have never been bitten by a dog. There is no dog at home, and no one in the neighborhood has a dog. It is impossible to be bitten by a dog."

It doesn't look like rabies either.

Lu Chen frowned deeply. He picked up the patient's medical records and began to read them continuously, looking for breakthroughs.

"You said, could it be the upper body of a ghost?"

Suddenly, a male intern in the group muttered something in a low voice.

"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense." The graduate student in the group smiled, "We who are medical practitioners don't believe this kind of ghost theory!"

However, the little intern whispered again: "I remember when I was a child, a neighbor in our village had the same attack. Later, he was cured by the monk in Miaoli, saying that he was possessed by an evil spirit."

Gu Xinyue heard this, but smiled helplessly at Lu Chen: "Don't tell me, I heard from the patient's family that they really thought about it and invited a famous immortal to come here."

Lu Chen was also quite curious, and hurriedly said, "What did the Great Immortal say?"

Gu Xinyue continued: "The family members of the patient said that after the Daxian came, they said that the patient was haunted by ghosts and ghosts, so he needed to cast spells, and he had to cast spells three times in 21 days, once a week, to have any effect. We have also seen the effect after that."

"The day after the spell was cast, the patient started convulsing again."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

There is no such thing as ghosts and gods.

Lu Chen also smiled, and continued to look down at the medical records.

But at this moment, a nurse hurried into the office.

"Director Lu, the patient just admitted by your group has started to twitch again!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart tightened. He immediately stood up and ran towards the ward.

The doctors and students in Gu Xinyue and other groups also immediately followed behind Lu Chen.

……

Quickly came to the bedside, the patient's convulsions continued.

White foam spit out from the corner of his mouth, his limbs were waving and twitching involuntarily.

The nurse has pushed the ambulance and started to monitor the patient's heart.

"Push a Valium immediately!"

Lu Chen said in a deep voice.

Stability, called diazepam injection, is a sedative antiepileptic drug that can quickly stop convulsions.

But after waiting for a few minutes, the convulsions continued without any sign of stopping.

In Lu Chen's eyes, the patient's life has dropped compared to before, only 52 (----).

The change trend of the life value is already three minus signs!
Except for Lu Chen, the rest of the group was also devastated at this time.

The patient was right in front of him, but he had no clue!
In addition, the patient's convulsions this time are different from the previous ones!

This time, the patient had convulsions accompanied by incontinence.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Chen's mind suddenly flashed, and he hurriedly said to the nurse beside him, "Test the patient's blood sugar with a finger!"

How could he miss such an important diagnosis!
"Got it!" The nurse nodded immediately and began to test the patient's blood sugar.

Gu Xinyue also looked at Lu Chen quite unexpectedly, testing blood sugar?
What is this for?
One minute later, the nurse held the blood glucose detector, raised her head in surprise, and said, "Director Lu, the patient has hypoglycemia! The blood sugar is only 1mmol/L."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words!
Unexpectedly, this fingertip blood sugar found such a big problem, low blood sugar!
Normal people's fasting blood sugar is 3.9-6.1mmol/L, and random blood sugar (meaning, no matter whether you are fasting or not, you can measure it when you come, measure it at any time) will not be lower than fasting blood sugar, but it will not be too high.

Generally around 4-9mmol/L, but now it is measured to be 1.9mmol/L, there must be a problem.

Lu Chen hurriedly said to Gu Xinyue, "Such a low blood sugar can completely cause convulsions."

Gu Xinyue nodded in agreement, and at the same time said puzzledly: "I saw that the patient did not have diabetes before, so I haven't noticed it yet."

In any case, let's make up the blood sugar first.

Lu Chen immediately asked the nurse to push 40ml of high-concentration glucose silently.

Immediately after the glucose push, the patient became awake and did not twitch.

Everyone present, including the family members of the patient, did not expect such an ending.

A shot of glucose actually brought the patient's convulsions under control.

Moreover, the patient is also awake. Although he is a little tired after waking up, he is in good spirits and can answer questions freely.

"Is it so miraculous?" the patient's wife murmured, "My parents always thought he was a ghost!"

Lu Chen immediately said: "This is definitely not epilepsy, nor is it a convulsion caused by an arrhythmia, but an endocrine problem, a convulsion caused by hypoglycemia!"

Even, the yelling at home that the family members said before may be caused by hypoglycemia!

On the side, Gu Xinyue raised a question, "Director Lu, I have a doubt. If it's really caused by hypoglycemia, the patient shouldn't get better before giving glucose or eating!"

In fact, every attack of the patient can be relieved by itself for so long.

It's just that the time is long and short.

Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this is also one of the key points, the patient is not simply hypoglycemia!"

Gu Xinyue immediately reacted, "Endocrine disease...insulinoma?"

Lu Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.

At this point, a prompt pops up on the system panel.

"Congratulations, the completion of the system upgrade has increased!"

On the side, the patient's family members were still a little unclear, so when they heard Lu Chen and Gu Xinyue say the word "tumor", they immediately became nervous, stood up and asked, "Doctor, is this cancer?"

Gu Xinyue shook her head and explained: "There is a piece of tissue in the human pancreas called islets, and the islets can secrete a hormone called insulin."

"Insulin is the only hormone that can lower blood sugar in the human body. If a tumor grows in this tissue, resulting in increased insulin secretion, the patient will definitely suffer from frequent hypoglycemia."

"Most people have hypoglycemia symptoms such as palpitations and hand tremors. Very few people may directly manifest themselves as convulsions and confusion, just like this patient."

The family members nodded in agreement, not sure if she understood.

The analysis is reasonable, and the next step is to look at the inspection results.

Gu Xinyue immediately issued a doctor's order.

First, blood was drawn to check the blood insulin level, and then sent for abdominal enhanced CT, further glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin release test and a series of tests.
