Customs vary from place to place.

For example, in some tribes, young women can "find boyfriends" at will without being condemned, because this way they have a greater chance of conceiving the next generation, and of course the spread of AIDS will be wider.

For example, some women will put a plate on their lower lip. Whoever has a bigger plate and bigger lips will be more beautiful.

This is actually a deformed aesthetic concept, just like the rings on the necks of the old Burmese people.

For another example, many women in African tribes are not taboo about exposing their bodies. No matter how old or young they are, they don’t wear clothes. You can watch them if you want. But you can’t let others touch their hair. They think this is “sexual harassment”.

I will beat you to death.

Specifically speaking to Nguema's tribal group, one of their strange customs is that they attach great importance to the "valley road".

I even feel that the "Valley Road" is far more important than the "Shadow Road".

For example, if the vagina is broken or worn out, it does not affect normal life, so it is not a big deal if familiar and unfamiliar men come in and out.

But if the valley is damaged, it will be impossible to defecate, and people will die.

The diet of primitive people was quite unbalanced, especially for Africans. You said they could eat wild meat and wild boar, and they even ate soil. They just lacked vegetables because they didn’t know how to grow them.

Eating without green leafy vegetables and fruits for a long time will lead to dry stool and constipation. In the Middle Ages, Europeans and Americans could buy "rhubarb", but how could Africans have the money to trade?

In Nguema's tribe, many people die every year because they cannot poop.

Some wild animals, such as jackals, like to attack the anus of their prey, causing the rectum to fall out, causing the prey to lose its ability to resist due to severe pain. These African black uncles all see it.

Another thing is that there are many wild animals in Africa, such as rhino horns, elephant horns, wild tusks, etc., which are all dangerous. If you are hit by these animals in the valley when you go hunting, you will be dead when you return.

So I don’t know since when, the ancient African tribes have spread a custom.

It is believed that the valley is the most important part of the human body. It must not be damaged in any way and cannot be touched easily, otherwise your life will be at risk.

Nguema could not imagine that his unmarried daughter's "valley" would be stabbed twice with such a long pipe. It would be scary to think about whether it would come out of her mouth.

So the African chief chatted for a long time, and in a word, he opposed colonoscopy.

This made Chen Qi numb.

After all, the training before going abroad requires team members to respect local customs and people. The principle is that patients should not insist on treatment that they do not agree with.

But you can’t do it if you don’t persist. You don’t know how to operate for any disease? And intestinal obstruction does not necessarily require surgery. Maybe conservative treatment can also be used? Why need to undergo this extra surgery?

The problem is that the premise of all this is to do a good examination and the doctor has a clear idea, so that he can formulate the most correct treatment plan.

Chen Qi kindly tried to persuade him for a long time, but Nguema refused to listen and insisted on his own tribe's customs.

Chen Qi had no choice but to turn to the little girl on the hospital bed and say:

"Luchana, what should we do? Your father does not allow us to do examinations, which means we cannot perform surgery on you. What do you think?"

Luciana is already in excruciating pain, and now she wants to stop the pain quickly, whether it’s a knife or a stab.

So the tears flowed out in a flash, I rubbed my hands together, and cried out using the common local begging gestures:

"Dad, I don't want to die. Please listen to the doctor. Besides, people from other countries can do this colonoscopy. There is no reason why we Africans can't do it."

Chen Qi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that if a country wants to develop, it really needs to vigorously develop education, because young people are open-minded, more receptive to new things, and can better lead the country to progress.

On the contrary, old-fashioned people like Nguema, who are very conservative and stubborn, can easily become a stumbling block in the rolling tide of history.

Sure enough, the little cotton-padded jacket's plea was different, and Nguema finally had to stomp his feet and agreed.

Chen Qi didn't say anything. After the nurse made pre-operative preparations, he quickly inserted the "gastrointestinal scope" into the valley, racing against time to gain rescue time, without any regard for Director Hu who looked at him with a murderous look at the side.

When the examination began, the diagnostic room became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the TV screen.

The colonoscope had only gone in for a few centimeters when everyone came closer to the picture tube, and then everyone said "Huh" in question.

Yi Zewen asked strangely: "Dean Chen, what is this? Why is there a thick white line in this patient's intestines?"

Chen Qi also felt strange. He originally suspected it was parasites, and thought that even the scene he saw should be densely packed with small bugs, just like the roundworm intestinal obstruction he suffered from in Hengluli Commune.

I fished out a basin full of roundworms and asked you if you were disgusting.

As a result, this African patient did not see roundworms or other worms in his intestines, just a white "thick thread" that could not be seen at the end. This made Chen Qi doubt whether his previous diagnosis was correct?
p>

As the colonoscope moved toward the colon little by little, Director Hu suddenly reminded:

"Dean Chen, wait, look here, there is a second thick white line here. This is wrong."

Before Chen Qi could answer, Chen Li next to him screamed:

"No, no, this rope will move, it will move, you see, it is twisting slowly."

The gastroscope had been moving forward before, so no one noticed this. Now the camera is still and if you look carefully, you can actually see that the thick white line is actually slowly moving.

Chen Qi and Director Hu looked at each other and said in unison: "This is a parasite."

But, what kind of parasite will grow into a long thread?

After all, Chen Qi is not a professional and cannot figure this out. Maybe his wife Lan Lijuan knows that, after all, parasites are also infectious diseases, but they are not in front of them.

"Xiao Yi, hurry up, go read the book and look up which parasite is very long? The color is still white."

"How long?"

"At least more than 1 meter."

"Hiss~~~"

Many doctors in the consultation room gasped. Only Nguema was a little confused. What are these doctors hissing?

The patient, Luchana, was already sweating coldly due to colonoscopy and abdominal pain, and did not pay attention to the sudden situation here.

Yi Zewen quickly found Parasitology, then quickly looked through the catalog, and finally clicked on "Tapeworm".

The book says: Tapeworm is a huge intestinal parasite. The body length of ordinary adults can reach several meters. Adults parasitize vertebrates, and larvae mainly parasitize invertebrates or vertebrates.

Host.

The appearance of tapeworms is that the adult tapeworm body is flat dorsally and ventrally, symmetrical from left to right, mostly segmented and long like a belt, has no mouth and digestive tract, and lacks a body cavity. Except for a few, they are all hermaphrodites and often self-fertilize.

When people eat pork, beef or fish with tapeworms that are not properly cooked, the tapeworm will enter the human body and become parasitic. Once the tapeworm enters the intestine, it will embed its head into the intestinal wall. Then it will absorb nutrients on the intestinal wall and can

Grow long enough.

This kind of parasite is very serious. Adults can generally grow to one or two meters, and 4 to 5 meters is also very common.

In a parasite museum in Japan, the tapeworm on display is 8.8 meters long.

According to the world record, the longest tapeworm can reach 22 meters, which can scare a person to death. I don’t know why this kind of tapeworm can grow so long.

At first glance, the worm in Luciana’s belly looks a bit like a tapeworm.

Chen Qi felt relieved now. His diagnosis was correct, but the bug was not the roundworm he imagined.

The colonoscope continued to advance inward, and finally the obstruction was found at the bend of the transverse colon and descending colon, anatomically called the "left bend of the colon."

At this time, everyone staring at the screen felt aversion to cold. Chen Li and Yang Xiuxiu felt that their whole body was shaking.

Countless long worms can be seen on the screen, just like knotted yarn balls, blocking the intestines tightly.

Especially after the lens was fixed, these long insects slowly began to squirm collectively. The scene was just like the squeaking sound of fingernails sliding across the glass, which is even more disappointing.

Director Hu slapped his thigh excitedly:

"Ah, here it is, it's blocked, dear, there are so many parasites. Did this little girl grow up eating bugs?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the black girl lying on her side on the hospital bed, their eyes full of sympathy.

Chen Qi pouted:

"You don't know, but I have been to their village. They eat raw meat, drink raw water, live in thatched huts, and sleep on hard mud floors. It's strange that parasitic diseases can't occur under such conditions, so

It is said that people in this place have short life spans and do not care about hygiene at all."

Everyone nodded in unison. Medical staff are more or less mysophobic.

Even Nguema nodded along, because he didn't understand what these Chinese doctors were talking about, so he felt that he was right to nod in agreement.

Yi Zewen asked at this time: "Dean Chen, what should we do next?"

"The only next step is surgery. Let's take a look at the condition of the intestines. If the parasites are not badly infested, just remove the parasites and sew them up. If the intestines are completely collapsed, we can only cut off part of the intestines and perform enteroenterostomy. This

Surgery would be troublesome."

Nguema, the powerful chief in the village, suddenly became a bit submissive in the Friendship Hospital.

"Chen, Doctor Chen, how is my daughter's condition? Will she die?"

Chen Qi made a knife-cutting motion on Luchana's belly:

"The intestines are blocked by worms. Here, we need to cut them open, take out the worms, and open up the intestines. Only in this way can we save her life."

Nguema was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and asked the local little natives to imagine cutting open a person's stomach. This was just like the devil. This kind of thing would only be done when their ancestors were hungry.

"Can you still live if your stomach is cut open? Isn't that just like killing a sheep? Wuwuwu~~~~"

Chen Qi really wanted to laugh, so he could only explain patiently:
