Chapter 452 Yang Lina's Inguinal Hernia
When Lu Yao spoke to her in a teasing tone, Yang Lina flinched slightly.
To be honest, this senior reporter is very knowledgeable in society and rarely acts coy or embarrassed.
He can conduct interviews with great poise and confidence, no matter how high-ranking the leader is.
Today, however, she was like a little lamb in front of Lu Yao, completely at his mercy.
"I didn't have any inflammation or hemorrhoids. I was just asking casually. If you don't want to tell me, fine."
Even if Yang Lina idolizes Lu Yao, she can't just take off all her clothes and let her examine her body.
It was just a coincidence last time; neither of us did it on purpose.
Asking her to take it off voluntarily—what young woman would have the courage to do that?
But unexpectedly, Lu Yao actually hit her sore spot:
"Don't disbelieve me when I say it's serious. You have a small, inconspicuous lump on your left groin. Did you ignore it?"
Yang Lina couldn't help but secretly admire Lu Yao's excellent judgment.
How did he manage to observe the four women opposite him so closely in just a few seconds?
I was so panicked and confused at the time that all I could remember was seeing him swinging around and everything going black.
He actually saw through everyone's flaws!
He's so calm!
He nodded: "There is indeed one."
"Does it hurt?"
"It only hurts now and then."
Lu Yao asked, "Have you ever heard of malignant tumors?"
"Huh? You mean cancer?"
"It's good that you know this; many people haven't even heard of this term yet. What you have could very well be a tumor, but whether it's benign or malignant needs to be determined."
"I don't need your assessment. I'm going to the hospital for a checkup in a while."
Yang Lina took a step back warily.
It's like Lu Yao was able to pull down his pants.
Even though she had a good impression of him, she didn't want to be taken advantage of by him.
Lu Yao laughed: "I don't need to see it. I'll ask questions, and you can answer them, and I can make a pretty accurate diagnosis. Doctors use the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. I've already done the observation; now I just need to ask you to get the gist of it."
Hearing that it was just to ask about the situation, Yang Lina nodded:
"What did you ask?"
"How long has this been going on?"
"It's been a while, probably more than half a month!"
"Hmm, it's possible it's been there for a while, and you only discovered it a little over half a month ago. Press it with your finger—is it hard or soft? Is it movable or stationary...?"
Lu Yao asked very professional questions, and Yang Lina answered them one by one when she saw his seriousness.
After asking a few more questions, Lu Yao frowned: "Then what I see doesn't look like a tumor. It's most likely an inguinal hernia, which is why it hurts so much."
This time, Yang Lina was confused:
What is an inguinal hernia?
Lu Yao explained it to her:
"An groin hernia is not a tumor, but it is often mistaken for one. An groin hernia is a lump that appears in the groin area, at the root of the thigh, when standing, coughing, or straining. It is usually pear-shaped or hemispherical. However, it is reducible. When lying down or gently pushing on it, the lump can shrink or disappear completely. This is the most fundamental difference between it and a tumor."
Yang Lina was puzzled because she hadn't actually identified what was going on with the small bag.
When the pain starts, I want to go to the hospital, but when the pain subsides, I feel perfectly fine and don't want to go.
Besides, this location is awkward; even if there are female doctors at the hospital, I wouldn't want to go there.
Besides, she made a point of inquiring about it when she went to interview people the year before the hospital explosion.
Apart from obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics, there are very few female doctors in hospitals.
Lu Yao added, "You absolutely need treatment. Otherwise, if it gets serious—meaning your intestines are stuck and the pain becomes unbearable—it could lead to ischemic necrosis. You'll need immediate surgery. Moreover, the worsening of an incarcerated hernia, leading to intestinal necrosis and systemic infection and poisoning symptoms, can also be life-threatening."
"Oh? It's that serious?"
Lu Yao spoke very professionally, and Yang Lina was quite frightened.
I felt a faint pain again and reached out to cover it.
Lu Yao asked, "If you trust me, I have methods for conservative treatment."
"How to treat it?"
"Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, but you need to let me make a diagnosis first."
Yang Lina laughed: "You still insist on seeing a doctor after all this talk. Forget it, I'll go to the hospital another day!"
Lu Yao laughed too: "After all this talk, you still think I'm taking advantage of you? Fine then! I haven't talked to you for so many days because I was afraid you wouldn't believe me. Alright, just remember to get treatment when you go back to the city, don't delay."
"Yes, thank you!"
Seeing that Lu Yao was no longer insistent, she breathed a sigh of relief, which also made her more confident in Lu Yao's abilities.
Seeing Lu Yao continue walking, he asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check on the commune's militia company."
"Alright, Comrade Lu Yao, our Jiangzhou Weekly's interview with you will begin now. We may ask you some questions at any time. We hope you can cooperate with us, okay?"
"Okay, I'm an open and honest person. Ask me anything you want to know, but it's best not to make me sound like a myth. I'm a low-key person and don't like being famous."
"Okay, we journalists are all about being factual!"
As Yang Lina walked toward the militia company, she asked questions along the way.
Lu Yao answered whatever she asked casually.
Of course, they are all talk and no action, but they know exactly what to say and what not to say.
In his previous life, he faced countless traps set by reporters; his experience was far richer than Yang Lina's.
We arrived at the commune compound.
He went to the office again to find Liu Hui.
Ask him about his background.
Sure enough, Liu Hui and Xiao Liuzi were still listening to the radio.
The two of them were bent over on the table, listening to Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling of "Gunshots on the Plain" on the radio.
Turn the volume up to maximum.
Lu Yao kicked Liu Hui in the butt:
"Hey, something's up!"
The two were so startled that they nearly jumped onto the table.
Xiao Liuzi has all gone to touch a gun.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Yao, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"My company commander, you scared us to death! We were just getting to the crucial moment."
Lu Yao laughed and scolded, "I make you listen to the radio all day while on duty, and you don't even know things are going missing from the compound."
Xiao Liu chuckled and scratched his head: "Director Yang already said, the main thing is to set fire to the houses and feed the horses. Anyone who dares to steal from the militia company will be used as a lantern in the outhouse..."
Then he saw Yang Lina behind Lu Yao.
He asked in astonishment, "Company Commander, you've changed personnel this time? And you're going to the back dormitory again? I didn't heat the kang (heated brick bed) in that room."
Lu Yao slapped the back of his head: "Don't get the wrong idea, this is a big reporter."
Then I introduced Yang Lina to them.
Yang Lina shook hands with them warmly.
Lu Yao told Xiao Liuzi, "You stay with Comrade Yang and tell her about the militia company. I have something to ask Liu Hui."
Then he called to Liu Hui, "Come on, let's talk outside."
Yang Lina followed along with her small notebook in hand:
"No way, I already said I'd be giving you a 24-hour interview, preferably without a single free moment. Just pretend I'm invisible while you're doing your thing, I'll just listen and take notes, and I won't interrupt you."
Lu Yao looked at her serious expression and asked with a smile:
"We're going to the toilet, are you coming? Make a note of how long it takes to pee!"
"Oh dear, look at you, if you're going to the toilet, just say you're going to the toilet, and I won't follow you."
Yang Lina quickly retreated.
But after Lu Yao and Liu Hui left, she took the notebook and headed out again.
How can a journalist be discouraged with just a few words?
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly asked, "Reporter Yang, you're really going along?"
"I'm not going in. I'll listen to what they're saying from outside and take notes!"
