"Let me ask you, what could cause this elderly gentleman's previous symptoms?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Organic brain lesions, subdural hematoma and edema, hydrocephalus, brain tissue infection, related inflammation, and so on," Miao Rui quickly responded.
Even though he was just a general surgery intern, he knew these basic concepts. After all, working in the emergency center meant he needed to know as much as possible to provide better care for emergency patients.
"You're correct. These are just manifestations of a condition. In my opinion, there are two underlying reasons: one is the pressure exerted on the brain tissue, and the other is related to inflammation in the brain tissue," Liu Banxia said.
