Chapter 352 Why are you inserting vines into the deer’s nostrils?
"Grete, what exactly is that boy's disease? Can it be cured?"
Master Hemond grabbed Gretel and asked curiously. Gretel lay flat on the carriage and opened his eyes weakly to look at him, not wanting to say a word. Master Hemond did not think he was neglecting: Gretel's consumption, who
It's all in your sights!
If you ask Grete, he will definitely say: Of course, the total length of the human intestine is about four times the height. For this little barbarian, the vines can travel five or six meters inside his body, inch by inch.
Touch it!
To advance the vine, you need to control the direction of the light source and mystical eye, and you need to control the position and depth of the cut... This is not a colonoscope from the previous life. Every movement of the vine, and even its existence itself, is maintained by his mental power.
!
For several hours, Gretel stared at the light screen without blinking, unable to relax at all. By the time the treatment was completed, Gretel was almost exhausted mentally.
Seeing Grete's face pale and unable to stand up, Bolu's shop owner quickly gave him a carriage as a reward, and sent a man to help him drive to the next accommodation. One was to escort, and the other was to ask for a favor.
The shopkeeper at the back helps take care of it, and thirdly...
Thirdly, of course, I want to brag/remind the people behind me that there is a miracle doctor in this team who can cure diseases that others cannot cure, and he doesn’t charge much!
The barbarians are tall and have long legs, and the carriage is also extremely wide. The wheels can reach Gretel's chest. In the past, Gretel thought it was cruel when he heard that "anyone taller than the wheel would be killed." But now that he saw such a big wheel with his own eyes, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
:
The child who is taller than a wheel must have remembered things and held grudges...
In such a big car, there is no problem in fitting a whole family in the carriage, and it must be a family of barbarians. Master Hemond climbed into the car openly, using the pretext of taking care of Gretel and looking for an opportunity to chat with him. See Gretel
Looking at him silently, he said "Hey" and waved his hand:
"I have blocked the sound so that no one outside can hear it. Please, tell me, come on, come on, I will exchange this secret eye ring for you!"
Gretel reluctantly opened his eyes and took a look. Hemond was shaking an exaggerated ring on his hand, with a tourmaline on the top - maybe it was an opal? In short, he shook it up, down, left and right, and after shaking it in a circle
, the arc light on the gem passed from left to right, as if a pair of eyes were opened.
Immediately afterwards, a translucent secret eye floated up...
"Ah, no need. This disease is very rare, and it's hard to encounter it." Grete turned half over on the pillow in despair. Although he really wanted this ring - with this, he would need to have a gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
There is no need to ask the Archmage for all kinds of endoscopes - but this bit of knowledge is really not worth a piece of magic equipment!
The main thing is that the prevalence of this disease is between one in 8,000 and one in 200,000. After Master Ximond has satisfied his curiosity, he may never encounter it in his life...
"His disease is called Pigmented Polyp Syndrome, also known as Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome." Grete swallowed "P-J Syndrome" back into his stomach and went directly to the topic:
"It is a genetic disease, that is to say, if the father or mother has it, the children will have it, and the grandchildren will also have it. The main characteristic is that a large number of polyps will appear throughout the digestive tract - that is, the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum, and a large number of
Meaning, more than 100."
Master Hemond took a breath of cold air. While watching Grete's treatment, a pot of sarcoma was cut out, which was already shocking. Hearing this number, he felt even more terrifying. 100! How long can a human intestine be? 100 sarcoma can grow out of it.
Sarcoma, can you still live well?
"You can tell at a glance that he has a sarcoma in his stomach?"
"I probably know." Gretel nodded sleepily:
"This disease has an obvious feature, which is that there are many dark spots on and around the lips, palms, toes or fingers, which may also be brown spots. Because there are many polyps and the scope is wide, there is no way to cure them with surgery, only bit by bit.
Cut out the polyps..."
The voice gradually became sad. Master Ximond comforted him kindly:
"It's okay, just cut it off and it will be fine. Didn't the child get cured by you..."
"It won't get better. It will definitely get better in a few years." Gretel shook his head sadly. In his previous life, he had treated a patient with P-J syndrome, and afterwards he checked the papers to learn about the prognosis. What he saw was that Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was
Post-operative follow-up showed that among 31 patients, the 1-year polyp recurrence rate was 46.1%, and the 5-year recurrence rate was 100%.
"And these polyps will grow into malignant tumors in the intestines and other organs, slowly devouring his life. Generally speaking, people in their 30s can develop to this extent..."
Another paper summarizing 240 cases showed that the probability of malignant transformation in patients was 24.2%, and the average age when malignant transformation was diagnosed was 33 years old.
"More than 30 years old?" Master Hemond laughed:
"Grete, do you think these savages can live to be 40 years old? When they get older, they will go hunting, hunting whales, hunting seals, sea lions, walruses, and working as mercenaries to make money. Those who can live to 30 years old safely
People, less than half!”
Gretel finally got a little better. Also, can a society with a life expectancy of 70 years be the same as a society with a life expectancy of 40 years? At least, the cancer incidence rate in the former is definitely much higher than that in the latter...
He fell into a deep sleep in the car. When he woke up, his mental strength finally recovered by 50% or 60%. He jumped out of the carriage and saw that the sky was already dark. A group of people were busy preparing to move in. When Grete got off the car,
A group of people quickly gathered around:
"Master Mage, could you please take a look at my mother?"
"Master Mage, my son always grinds his teeth when sleeping, and he never gets better..."
"Master Mage, I have a bump on my neck..."
Gretel: "..."
what's the situation?
what happened?
It's not that I don't want to be treated...but, can you go and line up first?
"What are you doing! Get out of here! Get out of here! Master Mage hasn't eaten yet! Why are you making such a fuss!"
Fortunately, the innkeeper ran out to save him. Men and women, tall and short, barbarians, dwarves, and ordinary humans, scattered with a roar. Grete looked at their dim appearance in an instant, and felt a little unbearable:
"Uh... wait until I finish eating..."
Fortunately, I didn't encounter any difficult or complicated diseases that night. Grete used treatment techniques, operated on the knife, gave medicines, and provided treatment suggestions. It only took an hour to complete the treatment. As for the medical expenses...
"Give me a live sheep?"
"..."
"No? Then you can give two live rabbits...after all, rabbits are relatively small and easy to kill..."
"Can we use live deer? We just killed all the sheep..."
So, when setting off the next day, Gretel sat in the carriage, focusing on dealing with the live deer. The barbarian driving the carriage was changed to another, and the local shopkeeper sent a boy to take Gretel directly to the next accommodation.
Bernard sat cross-legged opposite the carriage, stretching out his hands...
"Bernard, help me hold down its head! Don't let it move! Open its mouth!"
"What are you doing again?" Master Ximond came in again to take a look:
"Why are you torturing this deer? Okay, why are you inserting vines into its nostrils?"
