Chapter 528 - Boss, I Want To Praise You (1/2)

“Here.” Zheng Ren took out a pen and tapped on the film with the tip of his pen. He said, “The density doesn’t seem right. The CT reconstruction isn’t reminiscent of malignant tumors.”

Su Yun stood at the back and watched quietly.

He could not understand why Zheng Ren would find an excuse to disagree with the diagnosis of such obvious bone tumors.

Was it to comfort the patient’s family?

However, would it be crueler to give hope during despair and then stamp it out?

Professor Rudolf Wagner hesitated and did not agree with Zheng Ren’s words.

Although he was a top imaging expert, he would still hesitate when encountering rare diseases.

After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he continued to ponder.

He seemed to have an epiphany earlier but before he could put a finger to it, the thought quickly ran away from him.

What was wrong? When did it start?

Zheng Ren looked at the film, but his mind began to recall what the patient’s father had said when he came in.

Could it be…

“Tell me again about your daughter’s previous discomfort,” Zheng Ren said.

“Weakness in the limbs, panic, shortness of breath, bloating…” It was difficult for the patient’s family to repeat every word, but these words had long taken root in his mind. He could not forget them even if he wanted to.

There it was!

A lightning-like figure appeared in Zheng Ren’s mind, cutting through the endless night sky.

What did a bone tumor have to do with shortness of breath and abdominal distension? It was not as if they had absolutely no connection, but there was no real basis for those symptoms appearing.

If it were really a tumor, it would definitely affect other organs.

Zheng Ren’s gaze immediately focused on the top half of the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction on the patient’s chest.

The pen in his hand tapped hard on the film. It made a sharp sound, startling the professor.

“Lil Fugui, look here!” Zheng Ren was a little excited.

“Boss, in the mediastinum…” Subconsciously, Professor Rudolf Wagner wanted to say something but when he looked over, all his words were stuffed back into his mouth by an invisible hand.

There was a white shadow in the mediastinum. At first glance, it looked like a fat shadow. However, one could tell that it was not fat if they looked carefully. It was more like…a hyperplastic thyroid or parathyroid gland.

Retrosternal thyroid was rare, but it could certainly not be ruled out.

However, it had nothing to do with bone tumors.

“Boss, I’m not quite sure what you mean… ” Professor Rudolf Wagner’s words were a little hesitant as he was confused and uncertain.

Su Yun was a little confused but for a moment, he recalled some special cases he had studied through records in the literature journals about retrosternal thyroid.

“Hyperparathyroidism!” Su Yun was excited, struggling to lower his voice.

After saying that, he regretted it.

That should not have been the case… During this time, he pretended to stand in front of the film reader calmly and told everyone that it was the hyperparathyroidism that caused the abnormal bone density. Would exclaiming it not make him stand out as standoffish?

Could it be that he had been suppressed by Zheng Ren until he had become unnoticed, so he had found an opportunity to make himself known, unable to control himself from doing so?

This was a bad habit to develop.

Su Yun was a little depressed after that.
