The wine glass that Adrian brought to his mouth stagnated, and he moved his right hand up and down, pressing it under his ribs, and found the position that Kraft had mentioned.
"How did you know?"
He has been suffering from abdominal pain for quite some time. Not only has his food intake become less and less, but his love for wine has also been negatively affected.
As for the yellowish complexion, he hadn't noticed it yet. After all, his living habits were not much better. He didn't care about his appearance unless he was going out, and he didn't think his face would look good.
"Not only that, I also know that you often feel hot and dry, you have small red spider-like moles on your skin, the blood vessels around your belly button are dilated and protruding, and your palms are red and persistent." Kraft reported a series of symptoms at once and took a breath.
Continue to analyze it for him.
"You often have upper abdominal pain after meals, the pain is like burning, and the stool you pass is black."
Adrian's less obvious neck shrank, and he put his hands in front of his stomach. He felt that the white robe on his body had lost its blocking effect, and he was clearly visible to the penetrating gaze.
William looked at him in confusion for confirmation, and the priest's astonished expression definitely proved Kraft's correctness.
He worked hard to lift up the sleeves of his white robe to expose his upper arms. The small red spots were surrounded by tiny red lines extending out like spider limbs, with the ends hidden deep in the skin, like red spiders piercing deep into the skin.
If others were surprised, then Father Adrian's expression was close to horror. He asked with a trembling voice: "Is this all because of my drinking?"
"Yes, it was caused by excessive drinking." Unexpectedly, the priest was so understanding. Kraft thought that he would have to explain it to understand the principle. With current medical knowledge alone, he couldn't explain liver palm, spider
A series of physiological and biochemical mechanisms of moles.
Hearing that the guess was confirmed, the priest's reaction seemed a little too big. He slumped down on the chair with a sad expression on his face, "I knew this would happen one day. Tell me, who are you?"
"Introduce yourself, the new lecturer of the School of Medicine at Wendenggang College, Craft Wood. Nice to meet you." Craft was also very confused. He had just reached the Liangshan Gate step. He hadn't mentioned the serious consequences yet. The patient
Why do you start to cry?
Letting go of the overburdened back of the chair, the priest sat up with support, patted his chest, and with lingering fear, he picked up the wine glass from the table and took a sip to calm down his shock.
"Hey, stop drinking, didn't you hear me?" William hurriedly pressed his hand, but failed to hold the priest back and drank another glass of strong wine.
The priest stroked the white robe between his chest and abdomen, breathed smoothly, and filled himself a cup, "It scared me to death, I thought it was...sigh."
"What is it?"
"Stop talking, stop talking." The priest waved his hands, indicating that he did not want to talk anymore. Although his image was unreliable, he still received a complete theological education in a serious way, and drinking did not prevent him from memorizing the stories of the holy scriptures.
When a person who seems to be able to see through everything stands in front of you, claiming that your evil deeds that violate the dogma have led to all the abnormal physical manifestations. This scene is really too familiar, and similar developments have been tasted in the scripture stories.
Many times.
If nothing unexpected happened, the next sentence would be something like "Your day has come". Adrian thought that he had done too much and would not be able to wait to be judged after his death, so the man who served the Heavenly Father came down to earth to find him.
"It's from the medical school. Okay, that's great." That's great. As long as it doesn't come from heaven or earth, it's a good thing.
As medical alcohol was poured into his stomach, Kraft felt like he was experiencing phantom pain, and he might also have some problems such as peptic ulcers. "Father, I have to remind you that your physical condition is not very optimistic."
"Do you feel that your belly is distending too fast? It wouldn't swell to this extent simply by gaining weight, right? That's water accumulating inside." Seeing that Adrian hadn't paid attention to it, Craft emphasized, "I don't know if you have.
There are symptoms of difficulty breathing and palpitation, but it will definitely affect activities."
The question about the stomach touched the priest, especially the sentence about the water inside. It is inconvenient to walk around with a bulging belly on weekdays. Moreover, when patting the belly, you can vaguely feel the accumulation of liquid, but you can't see it.
So I'm not sure.
"If you don't mind, I can help you check and prove that there will be no trauma or pain."
"That's great, let's give it a try." William was quite concerned about the priest, and was also curious about how to see the water in his stomach. His almost clairvoyant explanation was impressive, and he quickly established trust.
The two of them helped the priest sit and lay down on the bed. They briefly looked at each other, giving Kraft the opportunity to observe the priest's eyes. Even the whites of his eyes were stained with a faint yellow color, like porcelain that had not been cleaned for a long time and was covered with dust.
[Scleral yellow staining]
Jaundice caused by abnormal liver function, bilirubin increases in the blood, staining the skin and the whites of the eyes. The skin may be difficult to judge due to individual differences, and the whites of the eyes become the easier objects to observe.
Kraft asked the priest to bend his legs and pull his white robe to his chest, exposing his bulging belly. Even laymen like William and Coop could tell that something was wrong.
Around the belly button, sea snake head-shaped purple blood vessels expand tortuously, crawling on the abdominal wall, twisting and rising with breathing. The skin gives people a sense of fragility, as if it may be burst at any time, causing the bound liquid to splash out.
"Oh, it's probably a punishment from the gods. It's too late." The priest smiled bitterly. He had so many physical problems and his spirit was getting worse day by day. He didn't need a doctor to point out that he knew the situation was not optimistic.
Put the middle finger of your left hand against the abdominal wall, tap the second phalanx of your left middle finger with your right middle finger, and make a hollow sound like a drumming high in the abdomen, "Remember this tone."
The percussion position moved to one side, and Kraft gradually percussed from high to low. The rhythmic drum sound suddenly changed at a certain height, and suddenly entered another environment, and the sound became muddy and low.
Like falling into water, liquid fills the ear canal, a vague dull sound replaces the light drum sound, and the liquid behind the skin oscillates.
"Turn over." Kraft asked the priest to turn over and lie on his side on the recliner, so that the side he had just percussed on was on top. His fingers were always pressed on the point where the final tone changed, and he waited until the priest positioned himself to strike.
The change of dullness into tympani indicates that the fluid in the abdominal cavity flows downwards with the change of body position.
"You hear that? There's a big bag of water in your belly, and it flows. It's obvious."
The presence of liquid was demonstrated intuitively through sound. Judging from Father Adrian's panicked expression, Kraft believed he could understand what was going on in his stomach.
"It should have flowed along the blood vessels through your liver." The fingertips traced the crowded varicose abdominal wall veins. You must know that this is only a small part that can be seen on the surface. It is in the fundus of the stomach, esophagus, rectum and spleen, as well as
Invisible blood pooling and swelling.
The esophageal vein at the fundus of the stomach itself is a high-risk area for rupture and massive bleeding. Coupled with the peptic ulcer caused by drinking a lot of spirits, Adrian may not wait until the day of liver failure, and one day he will continue to bleed from the gastrointestinal tract and die of vomiting blood.
"Strong alcohol changes your liver, making it difficult for blood to pass through. The increased pressure pushes the water in the blood vessels into the abdominal cavity where it shouldn't go, just like people who can't squeeze into the church on Consecration Day will go back to the port area."
