[System routine check complete.]
[Patient name: Zhou Nian.]
[Patient gender: Male.]
[Patient age: 55 years old.]
[Patient condition: Mentally unwell, experiencing hallucinations.]
[Patient diagnosis: Syphilis (late stage)]
[System prompt: Due to unclean sexual activities, this patient contracted latent syphilis. It has now progressed to a late stage and infected the brain, causing hallucinations. Combined with his physical condition, it is advised to rest, avoid exhaustion, relax, and peacefully enter eternal rest.]
At this moment.
The person arrived in front of Zhang Lingchuan, and the system scan results appeared. Seeing the rows of blue text, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Syphilis?
Late stage!!
It doesn't make sense, normally syphilis patients have various skin conditions like Mei Hua, why does the old man show no symptoms?
Latent?
He suddenly noticed the keyword.
There are a small number of syphilis patients who do not have specific symptoms, thus it is referred to as latent syphilis.
And this type of latent syphilis has a certain probability of developing into late-stage syphilis, and then, as the system explained, the syphilis infects the brain, and hallucinations start.
After a thoughtful analysis.
Zhang Lingchuan felt it was indeed possible.
"Dr. Zhang, what's going on? Is my brother very serious?"
Zhang Lingchuan's unusual expression.
Zhou Datian naturally noticed too.
He immediately asked with a worried face.
"Sigh..."
Zhang Lingchuan let out a sigh.
Just what kind of extraordinary luck do I have?
First, I encountered a pregnant college student over a month along, now I've met an old man with brain-infecting syphilis from visiting prostitutes.
"Dr. Zhang, just say it, I can take it!!"
It's not scary when the doctor is smiling, but it's terrifying when the doctor seems worried.
Zhou Datian felt inexplicably anxious.
"Dr. Zhang, when Zhou Nian is normal, his mind is fine, but sometimes he suddenly experiences hallucinations, it's very strange. If we weren't firm materialists, we'd really suspect ghosts!"
The bystanders chimed in.
"Looking at Dr. Zhang's expression, something seems off."
"As the saying goes, it's not scary when the doctor is smiling, but it's terrifying when the doctor seems worried. This sigh, it's definitely a severe case."
"No, I think Dr. Zhang is just feeling a bit helpless, that's why he sighed, everyone is overinterpreting it."
"I'm a veterinarian myself, if I were called to treat a cow and suddenly someone thought a vet is also a doctor, and asked me to diagnose and prescribe medicine, I'd definitely be overwhelmed. If one came after another, my expression would probably be more haggard, and my sighs heavier than Dr. Zhang's."
"So, sisters, does anyone know if Dr. Zhang is single? He's so handsome, with such a good temperament, studying veterinary medicine on his own and also learning traditional Chinese medicine on the side, he's literally a treasure boy! If he's single, I'm going to take action first!"
Livestream.
[Dr. Zhang's daily stream viewers: 2703.]
[Veterinarian Daily Stream Contest Popularity List NO·69.]
The number of live viewers had reached two thousand seven hundred and three.
The popularity list had climbed to the sixty-ninth place.
And among them, many were veterinarians who've already cultivated a fan base on TikTok.
In fact, comments in the barrage were already people admiring Zhang Lingchuan's looks.
But of course, Zhang Lingchuan was unaware of this.
"Uncle Zhou, your brother hasn't married all this time, has he?"
Although the system had given a conclusion, Zhang Lingchuan decided to probe indirectly after all.
After all, his Super Sonic Ear couldn't differentiate such things.
Blood test confirmation was needed for a final determination.
"Amazing!!"
"Dr. Zhang, how did you know that Zhou Nian had not married?"
"Yeah, Zhou Nian dated someone in his youth, but he disliked her, and later she married someone else. He's been a bachelor ever since. Could it be because he hasn't had a wife for so long that he developed a mental disorder?"
The onlookers gathered more and more at this moment.
Everyone was shocked when Zhang Lingchuan mentioned whether the other party was a bachelor.
After all, Zhou Nian was well-dressed.
He didn't look like a bachelor at all.
Despite the admiration, everyone started chiming in with comments.
"Yeah, Dr. Zhang, my brother has indeed been single all along, could it be that women caused his mental issues? That shouldn't be possible, right!"
Zhou Datian discussed his brother's marital situation.
Actually, when they were younger, their family wasn't that bad off.
Both brothers dated girlfriends.
His brother also looked quite handsome when young, but he disdained the girl for being dark-skinned, unworthy of him, so she turned around and married into another village.
Later on.
He dated two girlfriends consecutively, but neither worked out.
This lifelong issue ended up getting delayed.
Talking about this.
Zhou Datian felt full of regret.
He never thought it was a woman that caused his brother's final mental issues.
"Damn! The old man really is a bachelor!"
"No way, Dr. Zhang, is your veterinary practice a side hustle?!!"
"Brothers, did you notice, this is a traditional Chinese medicine's watch, listen, ask, and feel approach, Dr. Zhang's veterinary cover must be hiding the guise of an old Chinese medicine practitioner!!"
"Honestly, following Dr. Zhang's reasoning, the hallucination makes sense. Long-term bachelorhood leads to an accumulation of hormones, which can increase the likelihood of depression, anxiety, hypertension, sexual dysfunction, etc. Then social skills decline, seeing others with happy families, subsequently triggering mental issues, right, the logic mysteriously closes the loop!"
"Impressive, impressive! I initially thought Dr. Zhang was annoyed, but it turns out that sigh was because he discovered this old man's loneliness led to mental illness, feeling that he was a pitiful individual!"
"We also have such people in our village, they're often called the village guardians, they help with everything, always doing their best to please everyone. Although people make fun of them, they're quite pitiable, truly."
Livestream.
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
Because no one had expected that this well-dressed old man was indeed a bachelor, as many bachelors tend to appear rather unkempt.
Instantly, they felt sympathy for this old man.
And others were amazed by Zhang Lingchuan.
Believing that his veterinary practice must be a front, as he'd used traditional Chinese medical methods of observation, consultation, and diagnosis.
Surely hiding as a seasoned Chinese medicine practitioner!
"Amazing!!"
Two volunteers glanced at Chen Qian, quietly giving a thumbs-up.
Chen Qian nodded as well.
Indeed amazing.
He deduced the man was a bachelor at a glance, then extended to complex psychological issues, ultimately inferring the cause of hallucinations.
"Strictly speaking, it is indeed because of a woman, did he visit prostitutes recently?"
He laid it bare, Zhang Lingchuan asked directly.
After all, such things undoubtedly have no point in hiding, the sooner recognized, the sooner accepted.
Listening to the first part.
The crowd sighed with pity, turns out it was truly due to a woman.
But as soon as the latter part was spoken.
They all wore puzzled faces!
