Chapter 497: Can you let me see inside the child? (10,000 rewards plus 1 update)
"Consultation? So late?"
Archmage Novak stood up unhappily. Spellcasters, all night is spent sleeping and recovering spells. Although you can use magic potion to withstand it, no one is willing to get up in the middle of the night...
He muttered as he arranged the potions and magic equipment, preparing to go out with the students. While packing, he murmured to Gretel:
"What's so exciting about this... A child is born without an anus, and treatment won't change the anus... Even if a hole is poked through, the person who comes back will still die..."
puff……
Poke through...
Gretel was in danger and couldn't hold it back. This kind of treatment idea, well, it can't be said to be completely unreasonable. The child died in the end...
Is it infection, anal stenosis, and difficulty in defecation? Or are there other complications besides anal atresia?
He agreed twice, and soon he focused all his attention on the book he had read in his previous life:
"Pediatrics"...digestive system diseases...physiological and anatomical characteristics of children's digestive system...intussusception, Hirschsprung disease...I'll go, no!
It's not that he wants to improvise, it's just that he has never been cured of this disease in his previous life.
Being born without an anus is medically called congenital anal atresia. Generally speaking, when a child is taken out of the obstetrics department and a problem is found, he is sent directly to the neonatology department and a pediatric surgeon is called to perform an operation.
There is no such thing as changing hands in the emergency department. This kind of child cannot fall into their hands. Even if it occasionally falls into the emergency department, it is not their job.
Pediatric treatment is very different from adult treatment in terms of anatomy, size of instruments, precision of operation, and even anesthesia and medication. Even the practice certificates are not the same, so he would never dare to get started.
"Pediatrics" is not available, so quickly turn to "Surgery". Well, diseases of the colon, rectum and anal canal...congenital diseases of the rectum and anal canal...congenital anorectal malformations...we have it!
Thank God, surgery has finally made a difference!
Gretel concentrated his mind and read through the pages at a glance. [Classification]...[Associated Malformations]...[Clinical Manifestations]...[Diagnosis]...[Treatment]...
Then, a paragraph of text came into view:
"Depending on the type of anorectal malformation, the treatment methods are different, but all must be surgically treated. Anorectal atresia should be operated on immediately after birth."
Surgery now!
Surgery now!
This eliminates the need to think about physiology, pathology, biochemistry and the like. There are conclusions in the medical books, just follow them. Gretel stood up immediately, and Archmage Novak turned around to leave. Seeing this,
A meal:
"You can sleep peacefully, I'll just go and take a look."
"Your Excellency, let me go with you." Grete did not dare to say, "Maybe I can help." The book states that anorectal malformations are often accompanied by other malformations, and the association rate is 28% to 72%.
Afraid that I wouldn’t be able to take it off, I just said very cautiously:
"I haven't seen this kind of disease before. Can you take me to see it?"
Archmage Novak smiled. Magicians are always curious. Transformation mages see special animals and plants, protection mages discover attack methods they have never seen before, and prophecy mages observe new stars. That's all.
Bring your own dry food and follow me day and night.
When a healer sees a special disease, he or she must dig in and have a look at it despite the anger of the patient's family.
He didn't stop him, and took Gretel on the flying carpet and flew directly down the mountain. It was almost night, and the entire city of Nevis was shrouded in darkness. Only the Theater Avenue was lit up as a strip of light, connected to the garden area dotted with stars.
Within the scope of Igor's Mystery Lock, mid-level mages are prohibited from flying, but high-level mages are very loosely controlled. Archmage Novak can fly without any pressure, and despite the cool night wind, he explained to Gretel:
"Viscount Callender and his family are nobles who took root in Nevis before the city was founded. The names of their ancestors are also listed on the stone tablet at the beginning of the mountain road."
"Their family was also unlucky. One of their two sons was raised until he was three years old, fell into a pool and drowned; the other was scratched by a cat not long after he was born. He was cured of minor injuries with medical treatment at the time. After a while,
, suddenly convulsed and died; now this is the third one..."
Well, the first one drowned, the second one got rabies, the third one was born...then what? According to the ancient Chinese saying, you have not accumulated good deeds in your ancestors, or you have not accumulated good deeds as a father and mother, right?
Grete silently cursed, and couldn't help but begin to doubt whether his trip was necessary. Archmage Novak didn't want to go either, and sighed:
"They have a fifteenth-level great magician in their family. So there is nothing we can do. We always have to take care of the feelings of our colleagues..."
The flying carpet flew down in the wind, and after a while, it stopped in front of a spacious mansion. It was already night, but the whole mansion was brightly lit. There were seven or eight gorgeous carriages parked at the door. The walls of each carriage
There are emblems on them.
Gretel lay on the flying carpet and took a quick glance at the Holy Emblem of the Temple of the God of War and the Temple of the Goddess of Spring. As for the Order of the God of Nature, it seems that no one has a carriage.
Of course, Elder Wood is not in the city either. In this late night emergency, we can probably only catch anyone at random at the treatment center at the port. Whoever is caught can be caught.
The flying carpet landed directly in the atrium. Gretel quickly walked in with Archmage Novak, and soon walked into a large, gorgeous and warm room on the second floor of the mansion.
The inner room was full of people, with a faint smell of blood, and a young female priest walked in and out quickly. It was obvious that it was a maternal room, and moans and sobs kept coming.
In the outside room, there was a shrine of the spring goddess set up against the wall. An old man knelt in front of the statue and murmured a prayer without looking back.
A small round table was set up next to the shrine, covered with a thick mattress and covered with dark blue brocade. The child was placed on it, as if to bring him closer to the goddess's blessing.
Several older, dignified-looking men were standing nearby, chatting quietly. Archmage Novak walked straight over. Someone immediately turned aside to make way for him.
Grete did not follow him in a hurry. He looked around and saw many familiar people. There were priests from the God of War and priests from the Goddess of Spring, all of whom had come to help during the anthrax epidemic. In addition...
"Brother Matthew!" Grete greeted the priest of the God of Nature in a low voice:
"What's going on now? How is the child?"
"I've seen it, but there's nothing we can do." Pastor Matthew also came here for a favor, and of course, there was also 500 gold coins for a night's medical expenses. He whispered to Grete:
"It has been more than two hours since the baby was born. So far, I have not defecated, and I have not dared to give him water or milk. Seeing that everyone can only stay here, and occasionally use magic to comfort the baby..."
His expression gradually became gloomy. Gretel listened carefully and found that the child's voice was already hoarse, and it was obvious that he had not stopped crying until now.
It's normal. After more than two hours, there was no feeding, no meconium, and no one even held him. The child was obviously uncomfortable. If he continues crying like this, he might have an electrolyte imbalance.
Archmage Novak approached carefully, bent down to observe, discussed with a few people next to him for a while, and shook his head. In the end, he could only release a hypnotic spell on the child, which was better than nothing.
The baby finally calmed down. Several high-level healers looked at each other, and for a moment, they all let out a long sigh.
"Can I just go over and have a look?"
Gretel lowered her voice and asked Pastor Matthew.
The people standing next to the child are obviously bosses at level ten or above. If he goes there... it is impossible not to show him. However, if the other party is more resistant, he will go to Archmage Novak first.
…
"Come on, it's okay. We've all seen it."
Pastor Matthew sighed softly.
Not to mention the big guys, even the mid-level and low-level healers they brought had a look at them one by one. It was obvious that the master was seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
Gretel walked over with confidence. He bowed slightly, greeted the bosses with his eyes, and quickly observed the child.
The skin is rosy, the limbs can be flexed and extended, and I heard crying just now, with a loud voice. At a glance, I didn't see any symptoms such as jaundice.
If congenital anal atresia is not considered, in terms of neonatal score, the score is actually quite high.
His belly was bulging, and there were traces of dirt around his mouth and on the brocade. A nurse stood next to him, staring nervously at the child, ready to wipe away the vomit at any time.
Um……
Anorectal malformation, what method should be used to explore the position of the rectum? For X-ray, the child must be lifted upside down, and for B-ultrasound, oil must be applied to the child...
Forget it, forget it, let’s get it right in one step. The most common malformations associated with anorectal malformations are urogenital malformations, followed by spinal malformations, especially sacral vertebrae malformations. The third is other parts of the digestive tract, such as intestinal atresia.
If you are unlucky, you may have a heart malformation...
Grete always remembered that not long before he traveled through his past life, the director of the neonatology department personally treated a child with congenital anal atresia, recto-vestibular fossa fistula, right renal absence, and spinal tethering deformity.
Later, the child was discharged from the hospital successfully. Before he traveled through time, he had safely grown to ten years old...
If the child in front of him is really that sick, he can only give in and pretend that he has never been here today. Gretel took out the miniature oak staff on his chest and showed the big bosses the little snake on the head of the staff.
:
"Can you let me take a look? This is the totem spirit of my contract, an incorporeal creature. I want it to enter the child's body and explore the situation inside the body..."
"You? Who are you?"
The old man in front of the shrine suddenly spoke up. He had just finished praying, stood up from the statue, and turned to everyone. His thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at Gretel, obviously a little suspicious.
Before Archmage Novak could speak, a God of War bishop present had already taken over the conversation:
"He is Gretel Nordmark, a disciple of the Lord of Thunder. He has some unique insights in healing..."
Disciple of the Lord of Thunder? The legendary mage's reputation is indeed big enough, but being an energy evocation mage has nothing to do with healing...
Before the bishop could continue, on the other side of the shrine, a young man hurried forward and explained in a low voice beside the old man. Gretel was far away, and he could only faintly hear "penicillin", "infectious disease hospital", "smallpox"
" and a few familiar terms.
The old man's eyes immediately softened. He took a deep look at Gretel, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in his heart. Then, he looked at the child beside the shrine and sighed:
"Okay, go and have a look!"

Completed another update...
Today, I got a debuff in my eyes that said "I applied an inappropriate essence and couldn't stop crying". It was finally completed. I'm going to take a shower and sleep to nourish my eyes. Good night~
