Chapter 33
The diagnosis and treatment
Heard “the epilepsy” these two words, Sheilor’s face got all pale immediately.
He didn’t know the specific cause of the epilepsy or the abstruse medical principle, but he also knew that this disease was the convulsions what the common people often said.
No matter what a optimistic, cheerful and positive young man, once he knew that he had this kind of disease, it’s afraid of only one thing that he would write “pessimism” this word on his forehead instantaneously…
Getting sick is not a horrible thing, even having the incurable disease, or broke a leg and had to play the broken in body but firm in spirit… still wouldn’t knock down the malicious and persevering like a stone Sheilor.
But this may twitch all over at any time, had the mouthful foam and crooked face disease, let him feel some chill. Having the liver cancer and died holding the abdomen, enjoying the as big as the soybeans sweat on the forehead, that still could be counted as dying heroic, and dying natural and unrestrained. But if he would always worry about that he would become a fool, keep twitching on the floor ceaselessly, even he could live like a normal people… this kind of living style, it’s a bit too not so beautiful.
“Are you sure what I got is… epilepsy?” Sheilor said with the expecting expression, looked at the special doctor by the bedside, and asked with the hoarse voice.
“The possibility is very great, at least over ninety percent.” didn’t know how many patients that specialist had already seen, of course he wouldn’t took epilepsy this kind of disease in his mind, and he said calmly, “last night, after you fell into sleep, the EEG(electroencephalogram) display and the electrode return signal all confirmed… in you brain this area, every other period of time, the neurons would have the phenomenon of abnormal discharge.”
The specialist pointed at a certain area of the brain imaging, and said very seriously, “the brain cortex pyramidal cells of the normal people have the discharge speed under ten times per seconds. But the result we detected last night, the neurons discharge speed of the area was often over one hundred times in your brain, and the peak number, even reached five hundred and sixty-six times per second.”
“Therefore, we judged that this area is the nidus.”
Sheilor was still not reconciled to ask, “couldn’t it be any disease else, which would cause the abnormal discharge of the brain neurons? Such like stimulated by something, or such like after the long-term coma, those neurons have just woken up in the brain, and somewhat could adapt to it?”
Actually when he heard neurons these nouns, although Sheilor was somewhat unfamiliar with, but he thought of those strange power in his body in the heart, and couldn’t help but concerned secretly.
“Of course there are other reasons which could cause the abnormal discharge of the cortical neurons. But according to our analysis, the epilepsy should be the most likely reason.” the specialist heard the words of Sheilor, couldn’t help but had a smile, and he thought that this patient really could find himself some strange reasons.
He emphasized his tone and said, “especially the monitoring of the the after midnight showed, when you got into the deep sleep… along with the abnormal discharge of the brain, the entire muscles of your body also began to have the intermittent spasm.”
“But you don’t need to worry too much, according to the result of the checking and the amplitude of your spasm, this shouldn’t be the primary epilepsy, so the danger is not that big. If your could adjust your own life and emotion, perhaps you wouldn’t have it recurred… of course, even if it recurred, as long as you have somebody around by your side, and don’t sleep the bed too high, there shouldn’t be any danger as well.”
“Most of the epilepsy patients would have some small troubles in life. But at least from the current statistical data to see, there shouldn’t be any affection to the life of epilepsy patients.”
“No need to have the surgery?”
“No need, unless you want to take the risk to become a fool, and help our hospital earn a large sum of the federal civil medical fund.”
In the quiet ward, the only could move left hand touched his own head subconsciously. It’s hard for him to believe, his brain would be damaged incredibly. Could it be said that it’s the after-effect of the fight in the underground parking lot? The shock back force of the mecha intrepid body let his brain suffer the injury? Or…
He suddenly thought of that last moment before the coma, the severe pain brought by that share of arcane power in his body, especially that strand of like current feeling, passed through his nape, and became countless thin needles, kept piercing his head…
No need to have the surgery, only need to have the drug adjuvant therapy, the key would be resting fully, adjusting the mentality and keeping the optimistic mood. The doctor was very casual to instruct, actually it’s the biggest comfort to the patient. Of course, if Sheilor had the incorrigible incurable disease, probably the doctor still would say the same words.
Fortunately, Sheilor is a very optimistic person indeed, he was very easy to break away from those earlier grey emotions. Although those comforts didn’t have any effect, but since he didn’t need to have the surgery on his own head, it’s always a thing worth celebrating relatively.
The mobile phone was bought back by the working staff of the Tai family, and it’s still his old number. Sheilor didn’t know how the other party could do this thing. But it’s presumable that the Three Forest communication corporation, shouldn’t embarrass the Tai family on this issue.
Sheilor pulled out the screen which was embedded in the metal body of the mobile phone, felt it is very smooth, so his mood got a bit better. He began to get to the internet silently, and looked up some related materials about the epilepsy.
The more he checked, the more silence he was, and the more he felt that he really got the epilepsy.
He threw the mobile phone to the side of the pillow, and closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He probably got the primary epilepsy, the probability pass to the descendants only four times higher than the normal people, and the federal law also didn’t prohibit the epilepsy patient to get married… wouldn’t Charming have any other opinion?
But it seemed like that he should bring some more towels with him in the future, otherwise, when he spit out so much white foam, who would wipe the foam for him? According to the materials on the net, when the epilepsy patient is having the intermittent spasm, it must be careful not to let the patient’s teeth bite his tongue…
Could it be said that he still needed to but some hard plastic bones which were played by the dogs? But if he wanted to keep the pet dog, it still needed to have the special permission from the bureau. Oh, that’s right, he just needed the plastic bones, he didn’t really want to keep a dog, and he is not a dog neither.
So he thought at random just like this, the more Sheilor thought, the more he felt sad. If his future life would become this look, it’s really much far from his ideal.
He was lying in the bed silently, his eyes stared at the white ceiling blankly, and exuded some low moods.
So until Charlie Tai sat by his bedside, had already peeled an apple for him, and hand it over in his hand, then he didn’t notice.
“The is the necessary procedure to visit a patient, but very unfortunately, in the novel or the movie, peeling the apple and feeding one bite by one bite, should be a beautiful and gentle girl.” Sheilor took over the apple, stared at the window and said, “if Charming were here at this time, it would be much better.”
Heard the name of Charming, Charlie Tai had his eyes narrowed slightly, he had a smile, but didn’t make any comment on that girl, “you suddenly become talkative today.” he said.
Sheilor was in a daze slightly, he also felt the change himself, but it shouldn’t have nothing to do with barely escaped his life, it’s purely because he had the blow from the doctor.
Charlie Tai had already known about his state o
f illness, he silenced for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile, “the epilepsy is not a deadly disease, it’s rare to see that you are so dejected, I am really somewhat hard to get used to it.”
In the eyes of these friends around him, Sheilor was always that ordinary and simple guy with the smile on his face. rarely saw that he sighed and groaned.
Sheilor frowned slightly, heaved a sigh and said, “this disease is really too trouble, and it’s too ugly when it attacks.”
“I got some medicine ready for you, new drug, but rest assured, it has already passed the clinical examination, just because it’s too expensive, so it’s still not registered in the medical system yet.”
Charlie Tai silenced for a long time, took out a bottle of medicine from the pocket, and handed it to Sheilor, “don’t be too excited in the future… in addition, before you are discharged from the hospital, install a miniature EEG monitor, once you find any problem, then you just take a pill of this medicine.”
Sheilor took over the bottle of medicine, looked at the label silently, indeed, there was no the mark of the Federal Drug Administration on it. Then he took a look at the precautions, slanted his head slightly, looked at Charlie Tai and asked with doubt, “the tranquillizer?”
“I have it often.” Charlie Tai pat him on the shoulder with a smile, said with apologies, “I still have something else need to do, I will leave the Capital state tonight, I will leave some people for you, if you have anything need to do, you can just order them to do. Anyway, I will come back to see you in a few days.”
Sheilor nodded his head, he didn’t have the meaning to urge the other party to stay. Although he saved Charlie Tai’s life, but he also knew it clearly, the other party is the character high above in the society, it’s presumable that he is also a very busy guy. The other party would come to the hospital to visit him in person, that’s good enough.
“My private phone number is the first one on your mobile phone, if you have anything, you can give me a call.”
Charlie Tai and Sheilor met in the Pear Garden University, it had been many days, up until this time, Sheilor then knew his private phone number for the first time.
After Charlie Tai left, in the general hospital of the First Military Region, Sheilor received the conservative treatment and monitoring for several days again. Those with the mastered medical skill specialists and professors finally confirmed, probably in that event, Sheilor was stroke by some external force, the injury of the cerebral cranium let his cerebral cortex neurons damaged, and began to have the abnormal discharge, which led to the epilepsy.
Just like what that specialist said, there is nothing to heal epilepsy this disease. And the treatment of the general hospital was still focused on Sheilor that serious wounded body, the comminuted fracture right thigh and those several penetrated gunshot wounds, actually were much more desperate than the so-called epilepsy.
After listened to the consultation schemes for a few times, Sheilor then knew about that he such serious wounds in the underground parking lot of the gymnasium. If not for when he left the luxury balcony, wore the bulletproof helmet and the bulletproof vest, it’s afraid of only one thing that his this life would lose in that dark and moist space.
Once he considered this, Sheilor couldn’t help but had the fear after the event. He didn’t understand, why he would always so righteous ardor and impulsive. Of course he was willing to save Charlie Tai, but he almost lost his life, that was not his original idea.
At the same time, the thing made him more vigilant was, there was the illusion in his eyes again, but only this time, it’s not that structure chart any more, but a picture of the mine which he was very familiar with…
Sheilor began to have the doubt about the diagnosis result of the epilepsy.
