Great Medical System in a Veterinarian

Chapter 765 - 306: Strange Illness, Infectious Shock!

Li Mulin was extremely perplexed upon hearing about the foreign object.

If you say it’s because you have otitis media, and there’s a big piece of earwax causing this strange tinnitus, along with itching, that’s somewhat believable; but the notion of a foreign object is quite inconceivable.

After all, earwax secreted by the ear itself shouldn’t be considered a foreign object, right?

"Mr. Li, you keep cats, don’t you? I see some animal fur on your clothes, like cat fur, and there’s even a distinct cat smell."

Zhang Lingchuan smiled and inquired.

The person was wearing black pants, and as a veterinarian, he immediately noticed some cat fur clinging to them.

In fact, if a person spends a long time with cats or dogs, they can also develop a cat or dog smell.

Of course, this smell is quite subtle, and if your nose isn’t particularly sensitive, or you’re not working in an environment with these animals, many people won’t notice it.

Well, he could smell it.

Originally, Huang Xiangning planned to take the day off.

But after hearing what Zhang Lingchuan said, she couldn’t sit still.

Her eyes shifted to the patient, and her mind started racing.

In fact, she didn’t smell anything, but she could see some hair on the pants, unsure if it was from a cat or a dog.

But Xiaochuan is a veterinarian, so if he says it’s cat fur, that possibility is quite high.

But then again, what’s the connection between having a foreign object in the ear and keeping a cat? It’s not like cat fur could get into the ear, right?

If that were the case, the ear should be inflamed, so why would there be a noise like fingernails scratching at the eardrum?

It doesn’t seem to match, does it?

But this brainstorming was purely mental.

Because real-life experience taught her that no matter how outrageous Xiaochuan’s words were, the logic line somehow ended up connecting.

"Dr. Zhang, true to his veterinary background, guessed accurately. I do own two cats, but what’s the connection between keeping them and having a foreign object in my ear? Especially this hobby you mentioned, I can’t comprehend!"

Li Mulin admitted to keeping cats, but kept probing persistently.

Especially at the mention of the word ’hobby.’

It made him feel very uncomfortable.

After all, the word ’hobby’ is often a derogatory term.

"If Mr. Li keeps cats, do you sleep with them at night?"

Zhang Lingchuan continued to ask calmly.

Huang Xiangning drank water strategically.

Because she still couldn’t link Xiaochuan’s questions to the ear issue.

"Yes, our cats are quite clingy, and I do sleep with them at night. Dr. Zhang, are you suggesting that sleeping with my cats caused the ear issue?"

Li Mulin was bewildered.

He looked at Zhang Lingchuan with an extremely surprised expression.

"Yes, according to my preliminary diagnosis, it’s likely that while you were sleeping with the cats, parasites from them entered your ear, leading to this ear condition. Does it now feel like there’s a 24-hour construction ongoing?"

Zhang Lingchuan nodded.

This was also the result of the system scan he had just done.

[Three-Hour Unlimited Ordinary Scan Card used successfully.]

It was used when the first patient came in.

He used the unlimited scan card.

[Special Items: Special Stamina Potion*17, Precise Detection 12*, System Space Simulation Training One-Week Duration Card*1, Allergy Item Card*1, Skill Promotion Certificate*1.]

There was one more in the special items.

Once used, it would be gone.

Currently, the special items only include Stamina Potion, Precise Detection, Simulation Training Card, Allergy Item Card, and Skill Promotion Certificate.

Although the three-hour unlimited scans were ordinary scans,

they were sufficient to make inferences.

[System scan complete.]

[Patient Name: Li Mulin.]

[Patient Gender: Male.]

[Patient Age: 33.]

[Patient Condition: More than ten days of persistent inner ear noise, initially felt only occasional rustling in the left ear, but recently, frequent scratching noises and a burning sensation at night, making it difficult to sleep for several nights.]

[Patient Diagnosis: Demodicosis.]

[System Alert: Since the patient has been in long contact with a pet cat, and pet cats are carriers of demodex mites, it is estimated that the patient may have contracted the mites by sharing pillows and towels with the cat over a long period. The demodex mite’s life cycle is only 14 days, but a single female mite can lay 30-50 eggs. If not timely intervened, a ’bug special force’ may form in the ear canal, causing mechanical irritation, and their excreta may induce otitis externa, with severe cases leading to tympanic membrane perforation or even infectious shock. Please promptly recommend the patient to get an ear endoscopy to remove the demodex mites.]

The tag above their head was yellow.

From the system’s estimate, it’s unlikely to be fatal within three years.

But the ear would definitely suffer.

As a doctor with a veterinary background, he genuinely doesn’t recommend people being too close with cats or dogs, like sleeping together or sharing towels and baths.

Because cats and dogs can carry parasites.

And these could be transferred to humans.

"Yes, yes, yes! That’s precisely the feeling, like 24-hour construction! But our cats don’t have parasites, and aren’t parasites usually in the stomach? How could they get into the ear? Dr. Zhang, could you have made a mistake?"

Li Mulin fully related to the description of ’24-hour construction’ in his ear.

But he also found it rather unbelievable.
