"Teacher Liu, this is the freshly developed radiograph," Miao Rui rushed over with the films.
"Tell me what you saw," Liu Banxia said.
Miao Rui slipped the film into the viewer. "There's mild inflammation, just as you inferred. This minor inflammation shouldn't be the primary cause of the patient's rapid weight loss."
"Brother Wang, should we start with antibiotics?" Liu Banxia then looked at Wang Huan.
Wang Huan, who was also focused on the film, nodded. "Let's try that first. However, the true cause still needs to be figured out. The pneumonia isn't very severe, so how could he lose weight so quickly?"
"If the patient is doing okay after the IV, we should do another stool test. Let's do one more tomorrow morning to check for parasites."
"If it isn't parasites, it could be an immune system disorder. After all, his current test results have already ruled out many causes of rapid weight loss."
"Exactly. There are only a few common causes for rapid weight loss," Liu Banxia said.
