Chapter 955 -947: Sigh… It’s All Because of Illness! (Adding a third chapter for Alliance Hierarch Wei Leng’s Starry Sky)

Hearing Chen Cang’s words, the man was momentarily stunned.

To tell the truth, the chances of that happening weren’t very high, it was just an occasional occurrence, and he thought he’d always needed a lot of sleep since he was a child.

“I… I sleep quite a bit during the day. It shouldn’t be a disease, should it?”

Chen Cang shook his head, “The symptoms of narcolepsy include excessive daytime sleepiness.”

Seeing Chen Cang’s confident eyes, the man began to hesitate.

At this point, the surrounding onlookers also started to offer their advice.

“Young man, I think what this doctor is saying is reliable. Just go to the hospital and take a look, you’ve got nothing to lose!”

“Yeah, you just fall asleep just like that. How dangerous would that be if you were crossing the road?”

“That’s right, he’s from the emergency center hospital, he can’t be deceiving you.”

“Go and have it checked out, don’t delay. You’re young, don’t let anything happen to you!”

Although no one had heard of this disease, Chen Cang standing there and talking made everybody think the young guy seemed very professional.

“Yeah, look at this young doctor, he doesn’t seem like the lying type.” A middle-aged woman couldn’t help but say.

With the crowd saying so, the man thought it over for a while, then suddenly said, “Alright then, thank you, doctor.”

While talking, the man boarded the ambulance.

In the ambulance, the man looked at Chen Cang, still somewhat anxious and worried.

“Doctor, we have a physical examination at my workplace every year, it shouldn’t be that serious, right? All my health indicators are normal,” the man was still puzzled.

Chen Cang shook his head, “This disease isn’t included in the scope of a regular physical exam, you need to undergo cerebrospinal fluid and other related tests.”

Hearing Chen Cang’s words, the man didn’t speak further.

Yang Jie, on the other hand, wasn’t very familiar with this disease either, but since the patient was present, it wasn’t appropriate to inquire.

Meanwhile, the man began to talk to himself.

“I always thought I had an exceptional talent… Falling asleep whenever I please, turns out it’s an illness!”

“And that means…” As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Doctor, by your explanation, when I used to fall asleep during class, that shouldn’t be my fault, right? It should be due to the illness?”

His words rendered both Chen Cang and Yang Jie speechless!

Even feeling a bit like laughing.

Chen Cang instinctively wanted to deny it, but… he seemed unable to find a reason to refute.

If you truly considered the symptom of falling asleep during class based on this disease, it seemed reasonable, after all, both behaviors were indeed similar.

Because both types of sleep were uncontrollable.

The more he talked, the more spirited the man became, even picking up the phone to call his parents.

“Mom and Dad, I’m on the ambulance now, heading to the emergency center. I dozed off while out on the street today, and when I woke up, the ambulance was already here.”

“Oh, the doctor says I have a disease, called narcolepsy. You always said I could sleep well! It’s a disease, not laziness!”

“Dad, can’t you take this seriously? It’s really a disease. I can’t control my own sleep. Daytime sleepiness, that… sigh.”

“I’m saying back when I was a kid, my grades weren’t good because I was dozing off in class! Turns out it’s been an illness all along, and you never took me to get checked. Dad, you’ve been so irresponsible, that’s a false accusation against me for over a decade. You used to beat me when I was little.”

“Alright, come to the hospital now, yes, to the Capital Emergency Center Hospital. You’ll understand when you get here.”

After hanging up the phone, the man let out a long breath, as if the gloom he’d carried for many years had finally dispersed.

It seemed he had indeed found such an excuse for himself.

Chen Cang looked at the man, hesitating for a long time, finding himself at a loss for words.

He discovered that his own divergent thinking was quite inferior to that of the man.

He felt that sleeping in class shouldn’t be related to this, but… there was no evidence.

Enough is enough…

He decided that once he got back to the hospital, he would consult with a neurologist for assistance.

Otherwise, he really wasn’t a match for this old guy.

Once the group arrived at the emergency department, Chen Cang, just to be safe, still contacted a chief in the neurology department to collaborate on the diagnosis.

Upon hearing about Chen Cang’s consultation, Chief Yang of the neurology department personally came down.

He observed the patient and proceeded to gather a detailed medical history.

This guy was truly straightforward, vividly describing how he loved to sleep during class and even during the day.

And at this time, the man’s parents and wife had all arrived!

After learning of the man’s illness, the whole family was quite worried.

To be honest, everyone really didn’t pay much attention or understand narcolepsy, always thinking it was a matter of lifestyle habits or constitution.

Chief Yang couldn’t help but say, “This condition, it doesn’t last as long as you describe, and while the cause is unclear, it probably has little to do with you sleeping during class!”

“Let’s do some tests to confirm it!”

The man was skeptical and said, “Chief, I’m positive I have this condition. I just looked it up on the bus, and I feel exactly like the description!”

“I really am sick, Dad, don’t glare at me. If you’d taken me to see a doctor sooner, I might have made it into Tsinghua University. You know I’m pretty smart.”

Faced with this patient, everyone was torn between laughter and tears.

They conducted a Multiple Sleep Latency Test and a polysomnography, even extracting cerebrospinal fluid.

By the evening, when it was time to clock out, the results were out, and Chief Yang came down to visit the man in his ward.

“Hmm, it’s confirmed, you have Type 1 narcolepsy, also known as narcolepsy with cataplexy.”

The man seemed a bit pleased and turned to his parents, saying, “Dad, Mom, see, it’s confirmed. I really am ill!”

The parents were also somewhat worried, “Chief, how do we treat this condition?”

Chief Yang smiled, “Firstly, adjust your lifestyle, try not to engage in activities that require long, continuous attention, regulate your sleep patterns…”

“If it’s severe, you’ll need medication. But it looks like you’re doing okay. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to take home. Remember to take it as directed…”

The man nodded eagerly.

Chief Yang turned to Chen Cang, “Chen, when this kind of patient takes medication, the severe ones that suppress cataplexy and antidepressants…”

As Chief Yang was instructing Chen Cang on the prescriptions, the man suddenly stepped out.

He looked at Chief Yang and Chen Cang with a sneaky air about him and asked, “Chief, there’s something I’d like to ask you…”

Chief Yang nodded, “Hmm, go ahead.”

The man seemed a bit embarrassed, “I read that one of the symptoms of this disease is muscle weakness, right?”

Chief Yang nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”

The man fidgeted and asked, “Sometimes, during intimacy with my wife, I suddenly experience failure. Could this muscular weakness be related to my condition? It shouldn’t be considered erectile dysfunction, right? I feel like I’m pretty strong…”

“It’s all this darn condition’s fault… Sigh…”

Chen Cang was left speechless at the man’s line of thinking… which was really quite leapfrogging.

Even Chief Yang was taken aback for a moment, exchanging a look with Chen Cang, both of them wearing expressions of helplessness!

Chief Yang exhaled, “Young man, when you go back, take some time to visit the urology department.”

Chen Cang understood that even Chief Yang was at his wit’s end.
