I can see the status bar

Chapter 737 The Darkness Under the Lights

Tang Min's day started with a lot of inspections.

The examinations that need to be done today include brain MRI, carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound, optic nerve potential induction and so on.Tang Min had done these checks before.And to do the same inspection again, for Tang Min and Tang Min's parents, "disappointment" was greater than hope.

Previous hospitals have done these tests, but nothing was found.After arriving at the Fourth Hospital, the group of doctors ordered the same examination again—anyway, in the eyes of Tang Min’s parents, this kind of behavior was basically equivalent to the doctors of the Fourth Hospital declaring, “I don’t have any good ideas, so I’m going to take other tests. Take the detour that the doctors have gone through again" directly declared.

Although a little suspicious in their hearts, Tang Min's parents still took their children and started the day's inspection very cooperatively.Sun Lien was busy calling people in the office.

Young doctors who have just entered the profession have this advantage—if they are replaced by other bigwigs who have already made some achievements in the industry, when they encounter a case that they don’t understand, they probably won’t regard "calling for help" as an emergency. First choice.But it's different for regular training doctors - even in the third year, there are not many cases that they can understand.

Sun Lien was not just calling for help, in fact, he was brainstorming while calling.

Tang Min's case is very complicated, and the symptoms are not sufficiently iconic.Before an inspection report of sufficient value was released, Sun Lien needed all opinions.Even the kind that doesn't sound very reliable - anyway, with the status bar as the backing, it's relatively easy for him to distinguish various opinions.

In addition to calling for help from industry experts he knew, Sun Lien also fully developed his "sensitivity and eagerness to learn" traits.He simply called Wu Youqian.

"It takes 60 hours for the old thing to give advice?" What attracted Wu Youqian was first of all the special performance of the old thing in this case.After all, this system was originally designed to remind front-line clinicians.It usually takes only one or two hours for an ordinary mild patient to arrive at the outpatient clinic to complete the examination and get the medicine.

According to the plan of the project team, the time from getting the test results to giving diagnostic suggestions should be less than 10 minutes before it is considered practical.To be successfully put into clinical use, this diagnosis time should be reduced to less than 15 minutes.

Sixty hours of diagnostic time is too long even for inpatients.Although Dean Wu doesn't know enough about computer technology, he still has a very specific understanding of the old stuff's abilities after being with the group for so long.When the old thing just started learning neural networks, an ordinary stomach cramp would take the old thing about fifteen days to perform calculations.Now, it only takes about 30 seconds for the old thing to judge a patient with stomach cramps.

Even with that progress, the old stuff still counts for over sixty hours to make a recommendation.Wu Youqian felt unbelievable at first, and then began to think.

"The calculation time of sixty hours may indeed explain some problems." Wu Youqian was silent on the phone for about 30 seconds.Sun Lien waited anxiously for Wu Youqian to speak during these 30 seconds—he was particularly worried about whether there was something wrong in his actual use of the old thing, which led to this unbelievably long calculation time. "This disease may be more troublesome."

"However, since the old thing can calculate it, at least it means that this disease has indeed been entered into the old thing's database, right?" Sun Li'en is a young man after all, and he still has some basic understanding of computer-related things. "After all, the old thing is also a computer. It can't diagnose a disease that doesn't exist out of thin air, can it?"

"Of course, it's just a computer, and it's not a clinical expert with 30 to [-] years of experience." Wu Youqian partially affirmed Sun Lien's deduction, "However, if you encounter a disease that is not in the database, the old thing can still rely on itself. The database gives vague inferences. It doesn’t know which novel virus infected the patient, but it should still be able to tell the difference between an autoimmune disease and an infection.”

Is this equivalent to giving a diagnostic direction?Sun Lien thought for a while, and felt that the role of the old thing was not much different from his own. "That's okay..." He paused and asked, "Dean Wu, are you not interested in the case I have at hand?"

"Do you think I'm interested in a case that can be counted by the old man for [-] hours?" Dean Wu coughed for a while on the other end of the phone, and then continued, "Please fax me a copy of the case."

"Faxing may be difficult." Sun Lien looked at the thick medical case in his hand with a wry smile—Yuan Ping'an's work was indeed fruitful. He compiled all Tang Min's case records into one according to the timeline A thick medical case——then he said helplessly, "The medical case in my hand has at least four to five hundred pages. It is too much work to disassemble, scan and fax. Are you in Ningyuan now? No, I will send it later. The case will be sent to you."

The reason why Sun Lien chose to ask Wu Youqian for help is actually very simple.After all, Comrade Wu has worked hard in the industry for decades, and the students he has taught are probably dozens of times more than the doctors Sun Lien has ever seen.And these doctors will also get to know many other experts and scholars in their respective career development.You know, for these "experts and scholars", apart from their own research projects and project applications, there are probably few things in the world that are as attractive as this "rare disease that many other experts can't figure out" of.

Asking Wu Youqian for help is like asking for directions.And looking for Song Wen and Liu Tangchun is the established channel of the Fourth Academy itself.

Liu Tangchun is now the vice president in charge of the emergency department and the diagnostic center. If the subordinate doctors have cases that they cannot handle, it would be reasonable to ask vice president Liu for advice.As for Dean Song... Sun Lien's calls for help have been sent to Wu Youqian, so it is reasonable to inform Dean Song.

After Liu Tangchun and Song Wen received Sun Lien's call for help, they were actually a little surprised.Neither of them expected that the fourth hospital could still receive patients that Sun Lien couldn't handle.Liu Tangchun expressed the most intensely about this, "Where do you want me to find someone to deal with patients you can't handle?"

"Ms. Liu, I really don't have any other good solutions right now..." Sun Lien said helplessly, "Genetic testing is already underway, and after the cerebrospinal fluid examination, we have to see if there is any way for the patient's blood to be extracted from the patient's blood." Drainage tube up and down... The only card in my hand is to take the patient to another hospital for PET..."

"PET, I can find a way for you." Liu Tangchun directly snatched the simplest job from Sun Lien, "If you want to consult an expert from another hospital, you can either go to Dean Song, or ask Chen Tianyang and Liu Pingchuan. Is there any suitable one? It's not convenient for me, Old Liu, to call the experts from the outer court."

Sun Li'en pondered for a while before realizing why Liu Tangchun said that it was inconvenient for him to make a phone call—the emotional old Comrade Liu was also afraid of being misunderstood?
Compared with Liu Tangchun, Song Wen is much more reliable, "Bring me a copy of the case, and I'll ask the experts at Xihua Hospital if they have any ideas. Also, for this patient, you asked Dr. Pascal about it." Any comments?"
