“Should be a tapeworm! So rare…” Yu Yuan mumbled to herself.
Ling Ran had read about it before, so he just remembered some information about it before he acknowledged what Yu Yuan said, “It’s indeed a tapeworm.”
Ma Yanlin looked with the corner of his eye while he thought secretly, ‘While Yu Yuan is no good with surgeries, she’s pretty good at recognizing parasites.’
Right then, Ling Ran said, “Talk to the laboratory, ask them to look for worm eggs from the fecal examination and confirm the species.”
Ma Yanlin quickly answered, “Their laboratory has only one machine, and it’s quite rare to see tapeworms now, right?”
“The last record of tapeworms in Yun Hua Hospital was three years ago.” Yu Yuan possessed a strong memory. She had an expression on her face that said that she was recalling the past.
Ma Yanlin gasped in amazement. “So, we have met something good.”
The patient’s facial expression became worried at this moment. He could not move, so he could only crane his neck and say, “What did you see?”
“A parasite. We’ll take it out, then you’ll be fine after taking some medicine. Don’t worry, and don’t move,” Ling Ran answered to comfort the patient and ensure that he could retain his posture for the surgery.
Yu Yuan did not have anything to do, so she also walked two steps forward and stood at a place where the patient could see her from the bed. She asked, “Do you have a habit of eating raw pork or other frozen foods?”
“No,” the patient denied.
“Have you ever approached any cattle or the manure from cattle?” Yu Yuan was asking about his lifestyle, and this was the standard procedure when encountering parasites.
At that moment, the patient felt so bloated that he could not describe the feeling. With a twisted expression, he said, “I raise pigs at home, so of course, I come in touch with pig manure. A farmer’s life is different from that of city people like you.”
Yu Yuan slowly nodded, and after a few seconds, she asked, “Then, do you fertilize the vegetable field with pig manure?”
“Sometimes.”
“You may have been infected that way.” Yu Yuan asked a few more questions while she also made some records. For a patient who did not engage in any indecent sexual acts, never went out of the country and rarely went to other places, his life history tended to be simple. He raised pigs at home and used pig manure as fertilizer, so Yu Yuan did not need to have her imagination run wild and conjure up a scenario like a blonde girl from the United States ate the sashimi from Japan and decided to come to Bazhaixiang to search for the true meaning of life. During that time, she went insane and bit a middle-aged farmer and infected him with pork tapeworm.
At the same time, Ling Ran chased after the tapeworm to the ileocecal junction, and when the tapeworm squirmed upward along the ileocecal junction, Ling Ran quickly said, “Grasping forceps.”
Yu Yuan immediately turned around when she heard him.
Then, Ling Ran pushed the five-clawed grasping forceps into the body along the path of biopsy forceps and quickly clamped the midsection of the flat and golden tapeworm.
The tapeworm that originally kept moving in the intestines instantly curled up, as if it wanted to attack the grasping forceps made with alloy. Its appearance was like a skater boy who chased after his youth and dreams in a tunnel and wanted to crush a police car with his passion and speed.
“You can pull it out directly.” Yu Yuan’s voice was laced with excitement, and she heaped praises on the tapeworm. “It sure is big.”
Ma Yanlin stared at the flat, yellowish worm that occupied most of the screen, and he could not help but shiver. “It’s really fat. I wonder what exactly it ate to get so fat.”
“Well, one thing’s for sure, it doesn’t eat feces.” Yu Yuan cast a glance at him, then looked at the screen and said, “If you look at it closely, it’s quite cute.”
“Wh-Which part of it is cute, exactly?” Ma Yanlin’s voice was trembling.
“For one, its color is pretty. There aren’t many colorful animals in nature. The golden retriever in the city is normal compared with this tapeworm.” Yu Yuan gulped before she continued, “Besides, look at its body. It’s so soft and seems really bouncy…”

Ma Yanlin looked at Yu Yuan coldly.
Doctor Yu today was excited, just as usual, and her small body showed a strong sense of curiosity.
Ling Ran firmly yet slowly pulled the tapeworm out of the patient’s body.
The tapeworm that left the host rolled over its body arduously, as if it was very difficult for it to adapt to the air outside.
The tapeworm that left the monitor and was dragged out of the body was like a snail that lost its shell. It was about three feet long.
Yu Yuan looked at it seriously for a few seconds before she put on a contemptuous look.
“What should we do now?” Ma Yanlin felt as if there were ants crawling all over his body.
Yu Yuan said with great familiarity, “The adult worm has been pulled out, so the rest of the task is to handle the eggs. I’m familiar with this, can I handle it?”
She raised her head and asked Ling Ran.
Ling Ran did not hesitate. He finished the colonoscopy, then passed the disheartened patient to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan happily called a nurse over before she left with her.
Outside the door were the concerned voices from the patient’s family members. “Old Dou, did the surgery go smoothly? Did you feel pain?”
“Old Dou, is your body okay?”
“Old Dou, there’s nothing wrong, right?”
The voices outside the door were getting further. Ma Yanlin finally composed himself and was ready to call the next patient over.
Qi Zao, the intern stood outside, and she could not help but sigh at that moment. “If your surname is Dou, you can actually have it pretty easy, especially in the northern region. You can always deceive girls and make them carry your child.[1]”
“Pfft.” Ma Yanlin snickered. He spoke in the sentimental tone of an experienced person, “Trust me, it’s not easy to be a father.”
…..
At four o’clock in the morning.
Ling Ran held a cup of Energy Serum and took some sips while he randomly casually through research articles.
He took too much Energy Serum today, so he could not fall asleep at night. All he could do was to read some articles and do something boring.
However, the most important reason was because of the bad basic condition in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch. He could not even perform surgeries in succession. At night, everyone was exhausted, so they could only end work earlier.
Ling Ran found it slightly regretful. Based on his efficiency, if he could perform surgeries nonstop until the next morning, most of the trauma patients would have been treated.
However, when Ling Ran lifted his cup of Energy Serum again, he found himself not bothered by this fact.
Bazhaixiang was a small place, and the Bazhaixiang hospital branch was a branch of Cangping District Hospital, so it should be considered the minority among minorities. Even if it received help from tens of medical staff from Yun Hua Hospital as well as a few helicopters, it was very hard to perform better when the hospital was only equipped with the basics.
After experiencing the massive flood in Brazil, performing more than a hundred freelance surgeries, and staying in the Emergency Medical Center for so long, Ling Ran understood very well that different hospitals had different standards.
“The management of the operating theater still needs to be strengthened.” Ling Ran drank the Energy Serum, while he stared at the starry sky above him, which was rarely seen in Yun Hua, and reorganized his mindset.
For a normal doctor, reorganizing the operating theater of another hospital might be something arduous but fruitless.
However, for Ling Ran, it was just a measure to provide more support to him when he performed surgeries.
