Chapter 501 Can You Let Me See Inside the Child? (10,000 Rewards Plus 1 Update)
"Consultation? So late?"
Archmage Novak stood up unhappily. As a spell caster, night is a time for sleeping and recovering spells. Although you can use magic potion to withstand it, no one is willing to get up in the middle of the night...
He mumbled as he arranged the potions and magic equipment, preparing to go out with the students. While cleaning up, he murmured to Gretel:
"What's so exciting about this... A child is born without an anus, and treatment won't change the anus... Even if a hole is poked through, the person who comes back will still die..."
puff……
Poke through...
Gretel was in danger and couldn't hold it back. This kind of treatment idea, well, it can't be said to be completely unreasonable. The child died in the end...
Is it infection, or is it anal stenosis and difficulty in defecation? Or are there other complications besides anal atresia?
He agreed twice, and soon he focused all his attention on the book he had read in his previous life:
"Pediatrics"... Digestive system diseases... Physiological and anatomical characteristics of children's digestive system... Intussusception, Hirschsprung disease... I'll go, no!
It's not that he wants to improvise, it's just that he has never been cured of this disease in his previous life.
Being born without an anus is medically called congenital anal atresia. Generally speaking, when a child is brought out of the obstetrics department and found to have problems, he is sent directly to the neonatology department and a pediatric surgeon is called to perform an operation.
Going to the emergency department to change hands does not exist. Children with this kind of disease cannot fall into their hands. Even if they occasionally fall into the emergency department, it is not their job.
Pediatric treatment is very different from adult treatment in terms of anatomical structure, size of instruments, precision of operation, and even anesthesia and medication. Even the practice certificates are not the same, so he would never dare to get started.
"Pediatrics" doesn't have it, so quickly turn to "Surgery". Well, diseases of the colorectum and anal canal...congenital diseases of the rectum and anal canal...congenital anorectal malformations...we have it!
Thank God, surgery has finally made a difference!
Gretel concentrated his mind and read through the pages at a glance. [Classification]... [Associated malformations]... [Clinical manifestations]... [Diagnosis]... [Treatment]...
Then, a paragraph of text came into view:
"Depending on the type of anorectal malformation, the treatment methods are also different, but all must be surgical treatment. Anorectal atresia should be operated on immediately after birth."
Surgery now!
Surgery now!
This eliminates the need to consider physiology, pathology, biochemistry and the like. If there is a conclusion in the medical book, just follow the conclusion. Gretel stood up immediately. Archmage Novak turned around and was about to leave. He was stunned when he saw this:
"You can sleep peacefully, I'll just go and take a look."
"Your Excellency, let me go with you." Grete did not dare to say, "Maybe I can help." - The book states that anorectal malformations are often accompanied by other malformations, and the associated rate is 28% to 72% , he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it off - he just said very cautiously:
"I haven't seen this kind of disease before. Can you take me to see it?"
Archmage Novak smiled. Magicians are always curious. Transformation mages see special animals and plants, protection mages discover attack methods that they have never seen before, and prophecy mages observe new stars. They would rather bring their own dry food than ever before. Yedi followed.
When a healer sees a special disease, he or she must dig in and have a look at it despite the anger of the patient's family.
He didn't stop him and took Gretel on the flying carpet and flew directly down the mountain. It was almost nightfall, and the entire city of Nevis was shrouded in darkness. Only Theater Avenue was lit up as a strip of light, connected to the starry garden area.
Within the scope of Igor's Mystery Lock, mid-level mages are prohibited from flying, but high-level mages are very loosely controlled. Archmage Novak flew without any pressure and explained to Gretel against the cool night wind:
"Viscount Callender and his family are nobles who took root in Nevis before the city was founded. The names of their ancestors are also listed on the stone tablet at the beginning of the mountain road."
"The direct line of their family was also unlucky. One of their two sons was raised until he was three years old, fell into a pool and drowned; the other was scratched by a cat not long after he was born. He was cured of minor injuries with medical treatment at the time. After some time , suddenly convulsed and died; now this is the third one..."
Well, the first one drowned, the second one got rabies, the third one was born...what the hell. According to the ancient Chinese saying, you have no virtue in your ancestors, or you are a father and mother who have no virtue, right?
Grete silently cursed, and couldn't help but start to doubt whether his trip was necessary. Archmage Novak didn't want to go and sighed:
"They have a fifteenth-level great magician in their family. So there is nothing we can do. We always have to take care of the feelings of our colleagues..."
The flying carpet flew down in the wind, and after a while, it stopped in front of a spacious mansion. It was already dark now, but the whole mansion was brightly lit. There were seven or eight gorgeous carriages parked at the door, with emblems hanging on the walls of each carriage.
Grete lay down on the flying carpet and took a quick glance at it, and saw the holy emblems of the Temple of the God of War and the Temple of the Goddess of Spring. As for the Order of the God of Nature, it seems that none of them have carriages——
Of course, Elder Wood is not in the city either. In this late night emergency, we can probably only catch anyone at the treatment center at the port and catch whoever he is.
The flying carpet landed directly in the atrium. Grete followed Archmage Novak and quickly walked in. Soon, he walked into a large, gorgeous and warm room on the second floor of the mansion.
The inner room was full of people, the smell of blood was faint, and a young female priest walked in and out quickly. It was obvious that it was the mother's room, and moans and sobs could be heard constantly.
In the outside room, there is a shrine of the spring goddess on the wall. An old man kneels in front of the statue and murmurs a prayer without looking back.
A small round table was set up next to the shrine, covered with thick mattresses and covered with dark blue brocade. The child was placed on top, as if to bring him closer to the goddess's blessing.
Several older, dignified-looking men stood nearby, talking quietly. Archmage Novak walked straight over. Immediately, someone turned half sideways to make way for him.
Grete did not follow in a hurry. He looked around and saw many familiar people. There are priests from the god of war and priests from the goddess of springs, all of whom came to help during the anthrax epidemic. also……
"Brother Matthew!" Grete greeted the priest of the God of Nature in a low voice:
"What's going on now? How is the child?"
"I've seen it, but there's nothing we can do." Pastor Matthew also came here out of kindness. Of course, there was also a consultation fee of 500 gold coins per night. He whispered to Grete:
"It has been more than two hours since the baby was born. So far, I have not defecated, and I have not dared to give him water or milk. Seeing that everyone can only stay here, and occasionally use magic to comfort the baby..."
His expression gradually darkened. Grete listened carefully, and found that the child's voice was already hoarse, and it was obvious that he had not stopped crying until now.
It was normal. After more than two hours, there was no feeding, no meconium passing, and no one even held him. The child was obviously uncomfortable. If you keep crying like this, I'm afraid you will suffer from electrolyte imbalance——
Archmage Novak approached carefully, bent down to observe, discussed with a few people next to him for a while, and also shook his head. In the end, he could only cast a hypnotic spell on the child, which was better than nothing.
The baby finally calmed down. Several high-level healers looked at each other, and for a moment, they all let out a long sigh.
"Can I just go over and have a look?"
Gretel lowered her voice and asked Pastor Matthew.
The people standing next to the child were obviously bosses at level ten or above. If he goes there... it's impossible not to show him, but if the other party is more resistant, he will go to Archmage Novak first...
"Come on, it's okay. We've all seen it."
Pastor Matthew sighed softly.
Not to mention the big guys, even the mid-level and low-level healers they brought were looked at one by one. It was obvious that the owner had become seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
Grete walked over relieved. He bowed slightly first, greeted the bosses with his eyes, and quickly observed the child——
The skin is rosy, the limbs can be flexed and extended, and the cry was heard just now, and the voice was quite loud. At a glance, I didn't see any symptoms like jaundice.
If congenital anal atresia is not taken into account, in terms of neonatal score, the score is actually quite high.
Her belly was bulging, and there were traces of dirt around her mouth and on the brocade. A caregiver stood next to her, staring nervously at the child, ready to wipe away the vomit.
Um……
Anorectal malformation, what method should be used to explore the position of the rectum? For X-ray, you need to lift the child upside down; for B-ultrasound, you need to apply oil on the child...
Forget it, forget it, let’s do it in one step. The most common malformations associated with anorectal malformations are urogenital malformations, followed by spinal malformations, especially sacral vertebrae malformations. Then there are other parts of the digestive tract, such as intestinal atresia. If you are unlucky, you may have a heart malformation...
Grete always remembered that not long before he traveled through his past life, the director of the neonatology department personally treated a child with congenital anal atresia, recto-vestibular fossa fistula, right renal absence, and spinal tethering deformity.
Later, the child was discharged from the hospital successfully. Before he traveled through time, he had safely grown to ten years old...
If the child in front of him was really that sick, he would have no choice but to give in and pretend that he had never been here today. Grete took out the miniature oak staff on his chest and showed the small snake on the head of the staff to the bosses:
"Can you let me take a look? This is the totem spirit of my contract, an incorporeal creature. I want it to enter the child's body and explore the situation inside the body..."
"You? Who are you?"
The old man in front of the shrine suddenly spoke. He had just finished praying, stood up from the statue, and turned to the crowd. He frowned slightly and looked at Gretel, obviously a little suspicious.
Before Archmage Novak could speak, a God of War bishop present had already taken over the conversation:
"He is Gretel Nordmark, a disciple of the Lord of Thunder. He has some unique insights in healing..."
Disciple of the Lord of Thunder? The legendary mage is indeed famous enough, but the evocation mage has nothing to do with healing...
Before the Lord Bishop could continue, on the other side of the shrine, a young man quickly stepped forward and explained in a low voice beside the old man. Grete was far away and could only faintly hear a few familiar terms such as "penicillin", "infectious disease hospital", and "smallpox".
The old man's eyes immediately softened. He took a deep look at Gretel, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his heart, and then looked at the child beside the shrine and sighed:
"Okay, go and have a look!"

Today, I got a debuff in my eyes: “I applied an inappropriate essence and my eyes kept crying.” It’s finally done. I’m going to take a shower and sleep to nourish my eyes. Good night~~~
