This Doctor Is Too Wealthy-Chapter 716 - 570 Upside Down World

Seeing Du Heng so hurried, Professor Zhang skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point. "It's like this: four days ago, a patient came to our hospital. Everything this patient sees is upside down."

"Upside down?" Du Heng interjected.

Professor Zhang nodded. "Exactly, upside down. Everything he sees is reversed, to the point where he experiences vertigo. He can fall even when standing with his eyes open, and now he's unable to take a single step."

Du Heng scratched his forehead but remained silent, waiting for Professor Zhang to continue.

As Professor Zhang spoke about this patient, he too wore a look of bewilderment. In his long career in ophthalmology, he had seen eyes that had burst and numerous cases of retinal detachment. He had even seen eyeballs that had popped out and been reinserted. But a patient who saw things upside down? This was a first.

"We first performed an ophthalmological check-up on the patient but found no abnormalities. This indicates that the patient's upside-down vision isn't caused by the eyes themselves." Professor Zhang spoke slowly, giving Du Heng time to think.

"Later, we considered the possibility of a brain lesion. We performed a brain examination and also invited neurosurgery experts for a consultation. Ultimately, we still couldn't find any lesions. We also conducted many tests, and the results further indicated that the patient's brain is healthy, and their nerves are without issue."

Du Heng thought for a moment before saying, "Traditional Chinese medicine states that 'Vision is related to the liver' and 'the essence of the liver pours into the eyes.' This patient's condition somewhat resembles liver qi uprising."

As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, Professor Zhang nodded. "After various check-ups yielded no results, I consulted many Traditional Chinese Medicine Ophthalmology Department experts. They all suggested liver qi uprising. But the problem is, after administering medicine, the patient's vision hasn't changed. Instead, the patient experiences discomfort and hiccups."

Not liver qi uprising? Du Heng was slightly stunned. But on second thought, it made sense. If it were truly as simple as liver qi uprising, a distinguished professor wouldn't have invited him for a look.

"Professor Zhang, I'd like to see the patient. Would that be possible?"

"Of course. We invited Doctor Du here today precisely because we wanted you to help take a look."

"You're too kind, Professor Zhang." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

From their meeting yesterday to their conversation today, Professor Zhang had consistently presented himself as refined and gentle, never rushed or impatient. Towards a young man like Du Heng, he never showed any trace of disdain or condescension.

He just smiled, then stood up and led Du Heng towards the hospital room. By the door, a young man was already standing—judging by his demeanor, he was likely Professor Zhang's assistant.

As they walked out of the office, Kang Zhirong demonstrated his diligence as Du Heng's assistant. He didn't forget his primary job and immediately turned on his small camera, starting to film. Filming Du Heng and Professor Zhang from behind wasn't enough for him; he quickened his pace to film from the side, then the front.

This action startled Du Heng, who quickly said in a low voice, "Xiao Kang, put it away, quickly."

Kang Zhirong paused, startled. "Oh," he responded, then dejectedly lowered the camera.

When Kang Zhirong moved to the side, his actions had already caught Professor Zhang's attention. Before Professor Zhang could speak, he heard Du Heng telling Kang Zhirong to stop. Now, seeing Kang Zhirong lower the camera, Professor Zhang asked curiously, "Doctor Du, what are you doing?"

Du Heng quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Professor Zhang. My assistant is a bit thoughtless. I've already told him to put it away."

Professor Zhang, however, shook his head and said jokingly, "I was asking, are you filming? Are you afraid I might set you up?"

This made Du Heng a bit embarrassed. He quickly explained, "Professor Zhang, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's like this, I've started a short video science popularization account. It records some of my treatment processes and shares some interesting medical cases with the general online audience. This is Xiao Kang, my assistant. He's specifically responsible for filming and editing. He was a bit thoughtless just now and wanted to get straight to work."

After hearing Du Heng's explanation, Professor Zhang wasn't angry. Instead, he asked with interest, "Doctor Du, you're also doing science popularization online? That's excellent. Some of my students have suggested this to me too, but for various reasons, we haven't started yet. Let me ask you, Doctor Du, is it useful? How effective is it?"

Seeing Professor Zhang's interest in short video science popularization, Du Heng was slightly surprised but continued, "My short videos are currently divided into three categories: Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine, pediatric cerebral palsy, and Chinese Medicine Oncology. After some time, I'll probably add a category for stroke."

"As for the results, apart from the Chinese Medicine Oncology section, which currently only has one case of mid-stage cervical cancer and no other cases, the impact is a bit weaker there."

"However, for Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine, nearly six to seven thousand people have consulted online, and over a hundred people have come to the hospital for admission due to its reputation."

"Then there's pediatric cerebral palsy. Not many people have consulted online for this, and not many have come directly for hospitalization. So far, it's been about thirty-odd, approaching forty people."
