Chapter 336 - 164: Forethought and Seeking the Cause of Illness for Patient 7 - Part 2
As for the written exam for the senior professional title, that is just the easiest first minor hurdle.
Dr. Shi should be around 39 to 40 years old.
Some doctors with good talent, solid foundation, and luck might get promoted to a senior professional title at 38, but there are very few of them.
Many people would be grateful to get such a promotion before the age of 45.
Why add good luck?
Because when choosing re
With a malignant tumor, it should have been discovered during the patient's angiography.
Zhou Can tried hard to recall the angiography report and ultimately preliminarily ruled out the possibility of tumor infiltration.
Only one last hypothesis remained.
He boldly speculated, might the cause be found in the small intestine?

This would also well explain why the bleeding location in the large intestine is not fixed.

The doctor on duty who took in this patient was named Xia Ping, a gastroenterologist attending physician.
