Chapter 640 - Biopsy

"What's wrong with him?" Qian Yu asked when Gregory came out of the isolation ward. "You didn't put that movie..." "Well, I put the movie in the bag and just made up the contents with my mouth, but he didn't notice it." Gregory nodded. "Considering that he shouldn't be that kind of whistleblower, I think he should have 'Anton's blindness'. His eyes can still see the scenery, but his brain can't handle it. And in this case, they still think they can see it."

"..." Qian Yu thought for a while and gave this answer. "He didn't understand what he was missing. He used words and sentences about 'see' like us in his conversation, but in a unique way. Someone brought his godson to him and he held him in his arms: 'My God, what a beautiful child, I'm so happy to see it!' He also said to us: 'This living room is beautiful, with good light and plenty of sunshine.'"

"Raymond Sebunzan," Gregory looked at Qianyu with a very surprised expression. "Oh my god, your literary foundation is really amazing!"

"A flash of inspiration," Qianyu shrugged. "Anyway, what should we do in this situation?"

"Anton's blindness means that bilateral occipital cortex is damaged..." Gregory pondered. "Stacium has an infection in the brain, causing damage to the occipital cortex. The current fever can be used as evidence. Doctor, you didn't give him antibiotics, right?"

"Yes," replied the doctor next to him. "The normal dose of oral penicillin is currently unresponsive."

"It's quite fast," Gregory obviously didn't expect this answer. "The proportion of drug-resistant bacteria in Japan should not be high. If penicillin is ineffective, it may not be the neurodegeneration caused by staphylococci infection... Then consider the possibility of a stroke - the thrombus caused can cause blindness and abnormal excitement. Use heparin to dilute the blood, and then cool him down - if that goes on, he will burn himself. Well... It may be safer to give him a contrast magnetic resonance before using heparin to find blood clots, but we are not in a hurry anyway."

"So, D was not infected, but just when this incident happened to be sick?" the doctor asked after receiving the instructions.

"It may be so, but what you said makes sense. We cannot rule out that he also had Legion disease." Gregory nodded immediately. "This way, give him oral rifampin - don't have erythromycin, just choose rifampin."

...

After 40 minutes, the quarantine room.

"No blood clots?" Gregory frowned and looked at the MRI results in front of him - from a portable MRI device. "There are no infections like an abscess?"

"Not even, and the blood test results were all negative." The doctor held the latest report in his hand.

"Maybe...it's too early to do these tests," Gregory's face was quite gloomy. "But considering the condition is developing so quickly, I think we might need a biopsy."

Yes, D's condition was developing extremely rapidly - he had completely normal vision just less than 45 minutes ago, but now, he took the initiative to inform them that he could not see anything.

Before this, although D could not see anything in essence, he at least thought he could see something-Anton's blindness patient would make up for himself what he saw, just like being in a real-time dream. And now, his eyes were as dark as a blind man.

"Well, think about the better, at least he wouldn't think he could see the street man in front of him and be killed by a car that was racing by the side." Looking at the MRI in his hand, Gregory nodded thoughtfully. "Considering that there is no abscess in his brain, let him know that we are going to arrange a brain biopsy for him and take a look at his condition directly. Considering that he could see things accurately forty minutes before and complete blood collection for himself, but now he has completely lost his vision, such a progress means that it may be some kind of infection, and we may not really have too much time."

"All related drugs are prepared, including rifampin and azithromycin for treating bacteria, acyclovir for treating viruses, amphotericin B and fluconazole for treating fungi..." After thinking for a while, Gregory added this explanation. "Although I don't know what's wrong with him, I think some of these drugs should come in handy."

While they were discussing this matter, another doctor suddenly ran over.

"Not good!" he reported. "Patient B also showed Anton's blindness!"

Anton's blindness is not a very common symptom. If patient B also has the same symptoms, it means that B and D have the same disease, but... Will Legion disease lead to blindness? If Anton is blind now, can the judgment of Legion disease still be valid?

"Appoint a biopsy for D as soon as possible," Gregory said in a deep voice. "Start up and check as soon as possible. If it is a little later, the other two patients may also experience similar symptoms."

...

"Recite the Hippocratic oath," Gregory stood in front of D and asked. "To sider dear to me, as my parents"

In front of him, D's head was fixed, and a fully armed doctor was slowly drilling a drill into his skull.

"him who taught me this art" D replied after recalling for a moment.

In this biopsy, the subject of brain tissue collected is part of the temporal lobe, and performing such a biopsy may cause memory to be affected. Therefore, this recitation method is necessary to check whether D's brain function is affected by the biopsy.

"Did you encounter anything strange when you go over there to check?" Gregory continued to ask.

"Well...their decoration feels dirty, and the family must not like cleaning." D replied. "But their small flower house is quite beautiful, and it can be seen that it should be the only place they have carefully cleaned up."

"Little Flower House?" Gregory frowned. "Your companions should have checked over there too, right?"

"Of course there is, but nothing was found." D sighed. "I also had a companion who specially checked the tap water system in the garden, but there was no abnormality-"

Just as he was talking about this, Gregory suddenly saw that D's muscles were tensed. "Ah—"

"What's wrong?" Gregory asked quickly.

"It hurts!!!" D's voice was already approaching wailing, and his limbs trapped in the surgical chair were constantly trying to twist. "Stop! The anesthetic has failed! Stop!"

"This is impossible. We used him with quite powerful painkillers, which makes no sense." The doctor looked at the liquid being input carefully. After confirming that there was still remaining liquid in the morphine bag, he said while looking at Gregory.

"Unless his pain is not because he is in pain," Gregory also just took his gaze from the morphine bag, but just shook his head gently. "Don't worry about him, go ahead. Or if you plan to care about him, just make him faint and then take the next biopsy - if you let him continue to hurt, it may cause cardiomyopathy."

"But if we get him faint, we can't..."
