Chapter 75 Diagnosis and Treatment

Hearing the word epilepsy, Xu Le's face turned white for a moment.

He didn't know the specific cause of epilepsy or the esoteric medical truths, but he did know that the disease was commonly referred to as epilepsy or convulsions. No matter how optimistic, cheerful and positive young people are, if they know that they have such a disease, they are afraid that they will let the word pessimism write on their minds in an instant......

It's not terrible to get sick, even if you are terminally ill or have a broken leg, you have to be disabled...... will not knock down Xu Le, who is as stoic as a stone.

Only this kind of disease, which may convulse at any time, foam at the mouth, and tilt his ears and mouth, made him feel a chill: he had liver cancer and endured the pain and died, admiring the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead, which was also considered to be a heroic death, and a chic death, but if you want to keep worrying that you may become a fool at any time, you will keep twitching on the floor, even if you can live like ordinary people...... This way of living is inevitably too unbeautiful.

"Are you sure I'm getting ...... Epilepsy?" Xu Le asked in a hoarse voice as he looked at the expert doctor beside the bed with a look of anticipation.

"Probably the surname is huge, at least more than 90 percent. The expert didn't know how many patients he had seen in his life, so he naturally didn't take epilepsy to heart, and said calmly: "After you fell asleep last night, the electroencephalogram (EEG) and the egg signal sent back by the electrodes were confirmed...... Every once in a while, neurons in this area of your brain are firing abnormally. ”

The expert pointed to a certain area of the brain imaging and said very seriously: "The firing rate of normal human cerebral cortex pyramidal cells is less than ten times per second, and the result we measured last night is that the firing rate of neurons in this area of your brain often exceeds 100 times, and the peak number reaches 566 times per second. ”

"So, we determined that this area was a lesion. ”

Xu Le asked unwillingly: "Isn't there any other disease that can cause abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain?" For example, after a long-term coma, those neuronal cells in the brain have just woken up and are a little uncomfortable?"

In fact, when he heard the terms neurons, although Xu Le was a little unfamiliar, he thought of the strange powers in his body in his heart, and he was secretly worried.

"Of course, it is possible that there are other causes of abnormal firing of cortical neurons, but after analysis, we believe that epilepsy is the most likely cause. Listening to Xu Le's words, the expert couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that this patient would find strange reasons for himself. "Especially in the second half of the night, the surveillance shows that when you fall into a deep sleep...... As the brain discharges abnormally, the muscles throughout your body begin to spasm intermittently. ”

"This is a typical symptom of people with epilepsy. I admit that stimulation, or trauma to the brain, that you mentioned earlier, can trigger abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the cerebral cortex......" The expert looked at him with a look of reassurance, "but...... This is also known as epilepsy. ”

"But don't worry, based on the results of the examination and the magnitude of your spasms, this should not be the source of epilepsy, so the danger is not great. If you take care of your life and emotions, it may be difficult to relapse in the future...... Of course, even if it relapses, as long as there are always people around you and you don't sleep in a bed that is too high at night, there should be no danger. ”

"The vast majority of epilepsy patients, even if they have some minor troubles in their lives, at least from the current statistics, the life expectancy of epilepsy patients will not be affected in any way. ”

"No need for surgery?"

"No, unless you want to risk being a fool to help our hospital earn a lot of federal citizen health care funds. ”

......

......

After the expert left, Xu Le lay alone in the quiet ward, the only left hand that could move, subconsciously touching his head, it was hard to believe that his head was actually broken. Could it be the aftermath of the battle in the underground parking lot? Was it the regenerative force of the powerful fuselage of the mecha that caused traumatic damage to my brain? Or ...... He suddenly thought of the moment before he finally fell unconscious, the intense pain caused by the mysterious power in his body, especially the sensation like electricity, passed through the back of his neck and turned into countless fine needles, constantly piercing his head......

There is no need for surgery, only medication is needed, and the key is to rest well, adjust your mentality, and maintain an optimistic mood. The doctor's casual and indifferent instructions are actually a great comfort to the patient, of course, if Xu Le has a terminal illness that cannot be cured, probably the doctor will say something similar.

Fortunately, Xu Le is indeed a very optimistic person, and he easily got rid of those gray emotions before. While those comforts aren't really useful, not having to operate on the brain is always a relative thing to celebrate.

The mobile phone was bought by the staff of the Tai family, and it was still the old number, Xu Le didn't know how the other party could do this, but if he wanted to come to Sanlin Communication Corporation, he should not be embarrassed by the Tai family on this issue. Xu Le pulled out the display screen embedded in the metal body of the mobile phone, feeling very smooth and in a better mood. He began to surf the Internet in silence, looking up some information related to epilepsy.

The more I looked at him, the more silent I became, and the more I looked at him, the more I felt that I really had epilepsy. Throwing the phone next to the pillow, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, he probably had a secondary surname epilepsy, and the probability of inheriting it to offspring was only four times greater than normal, and federal law did not prohibit epilepsy patients from getting married and having children...... Zhang Xiaomeng doesn't have any opinions, right? It's just that it seems that he must bring more towels with him in the future, otherwise he will spit out so much white foam, who will wipe it for himself? Looking at the information on the Internet, when an epilepsy patient has intermittent body spasms, he must be careful not to let the patient's teeth bite his tongue......

Do you still need to buy a few hard plastic bones for pet dogs to play with? But raising a pet dog still needs to go through the special approval of the HTD Bureau, oh, by the way, you only need to buy plastic bones, you don't need to really raise a dog, and you are not a dog.

......

......

Thinking like this, the more Xu Le thought about it, the more sad he felt, if his future life was mixed up like this, it would be too far from his ideals. He lay silently on the bed, his eyes fixed on the snow-white ceiling, revealing a hint of depression.

So when Tai Zhiyuan sat on the edge of his bed, he had already finished peeling an apple and handed it directly to his hand, he noticed.

"This is a necessary procedure for visiting patients, but unfortunately, in novels or movies, peeling apples and feeding them mouthfuls should be a beautiful and gentle girl. Xu Le took the apple, took a big bite, stared at the window and said, "It would be nice if Xiaomeng was here at this time." ”

Hearing Zhang Xiaomeng's name, Tai Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, smiled but did not express any opinion on the girl, and said, "Your words today suddenly became more. ”

Xu Le was slightly stunned, and also felt the change in himself, it should have nothing to do with escaping death, it was purely because he was hit by the doctor today. Tai Zhiyuan already knew his condition, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said with a smile: "Epilepsy is not a fatal disease, it's rare to see you so melancholy, it's really a little unaccustomed." ”

In the eyes of these friends beside him, Xu Le will always be the ordinary and simple, smiling guy, and it is rare to see him sigh for a long time. Xu Le frowned slightly, and sighed: "This disease is too troublesome, and it is too ugly to attack. ”

"I have prepared some medicines for you, new medicines, but don't worry, they have passed the clinical examination, but because they are too expensive, they have not been registered in the medical system. ”

Tai Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, then took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Xu Le, "Don't be too excited in the future...... In addition, before being discharged from the hospital, install a miniature brain wave monitor, and take a pill once you find something wrong. ”

Xu Le took the medicine bottle, looked at the label silently, and sure enough, there was no logo from the Federal Drug Administration, and then looked at the precautions, tilted his head slightly, looked at Tai Zhiyuan suspiciously, and said, "Tranquilizers?"

"I eat it a lot. Tai Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said apologetically: "I still have some things to be busy, I will leave Jingzhou tonight, I will leave some people for you, and I will tell them if there is anything." I'll see you again in a few days. ”

Xu Le nodded, he didn't mean to keep the other party, although he saved Tai Zhiyuan's life, but he also knew that the other party was a high-ranking figure in society, and he must be a very busy guy, and it was enough for the other party to come to the hospital to visit him in person.

"My personal phone number is in the first place on your phone, you can call me if you have something. ”

Tai Zhiyuan and Xu Le met in the H1 area of Ewha University, and many days have passed, and it is only at this time that Xu Le knows his private phone number for the first time.

......

......

After Tai Zhiyuan left, Xu Le received conservative treatment and monitoring for a few days in the General Hospital of the First Military Region, and those experts and professors with excellent medical skills finally confirmed that Xu Le was probably because of the blow of some external force in that incident, and the brain and cranial damage caused his cerebral cortex neurons to be damaged and began to discharge abnormally, which led to epilepsy.

As the expert said, there is no cure for epilepsy, and the focus of the general hospital's treatment is still on Xu Le's seriously injured body. The fractured right thigh and several penetrating gunshot wounds on the body are actually more fatal than the so-called epilepsy.

After listening to the consultation plan several times, Xu Le knew that he had suffered such a serious injury in the underground parking lot of the gymnasium, if he hadn't put on a bulletproof helmet and body armor when he left the luxury box, he would have been hanging in that dark and damp space long ago.

Thinking of this, Xu Le couldn't help but be a little afraid, he didn't understand why he was always so hot-blooded and impulsive, of course he was willing to save Tai Zhiyuan, but he almost gave his life, but it was not his original intention. At the same time, he was alarmed by the fact that auditory hallucinations appeared in his eyes again, only this time it was no longer the power structure diagram, but a familiar picture of the mine......

Xu Le began to doubt the diagnosis of epilepsy.
