Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 429

In the afternoon, Ruben asked Leanne to consult one of Sandra's patients.

The patient had been battling what was believed to be uveitis for six months, but instead of getting better, the condition had deteriorated.

After reviewing the lab reports, Leanne noted that the cytokine analysis of the ocular fluid showed an interleukin-10 to interleukin-6 ratio greater than one.

"I suspect it's not uveitis we're dealing with, but primary intraocular lymphoma."

The symptoms of intraocular lymphoma could closely mimic those of uveitis, leading to misdiagnosis, a phenomenon known as a masquerade syndrome caused by a tumor.

Sandra immediately got defensive. "Hey, watch what you're saying. Are you suggesting I misdiagnosed?"

"You're not that important. I'm just following the data," Leanne replied, her mood as gloomy as the weather outside, blunt in her assessment. "If it was primary lymphoma, we've lost six months that could have been crucial for this patient."

"You!" Sandra bristled, ready to explode, but Ruben silenced her with a look and asked Leanne, "What do you suggest we do?"

Given the urgency of the situation, Leanne didn't hold back. "I recommend a vitrectomy on the left eye to perform a histological and cytological examination of the vitreous humor to confirm if it's a tumor."

Ruben nodded, instructing Sandra to schedule the surgery. "I'm free this Friday afternoon. Set the surgery for three o'clock. And you, try to learn a thing or two from Dr. Castillo. Among the younger generation of doctors here, she's top-notch."

Sandra stormed off, fuming.

Amy glanced at Leanne. "The month's almost over, and it's nearly vacation time. Why the long face?"

Leanne looked out the window, where the rain continued to fall. "Might have to cancel it."

"Why? The rain's supposed to stop in a few days. It shouldn't affect your plans. Plus, weren't you guys heading to Iceland? I heard the weather's nice there."

As Amy rambled on, Leanne interjected. "We fought."

"Ah!" Amy's face fell even more. "Come on, you two are my relationship goals. A little fight here and there is healthy. Just make up, okay?"

Leanne offered a weak smile but said no more.
