When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 311: Chapter 312: The Issue of Socks and Underwear!

After learning the truth, Chen Cang felt relieved, wanting to laugh but afraid of being hit by the couple, so he could only cough.

Indeed, it’s really not that easy to distinguish between sexually transmitted diseases and tinea cruris, especially for laypeople.

Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh!

However, this sigh scared the man and woman half to death!

“Doctor… am I beyond saving?” the man asked, his eyes wide with fear.

The woman was shaking with fright!

“Doctor… is this AIDS?” the woman asked, close to tears.

Chen Cang was startled and quickly shook his head!

“No, no! This isn’t a sexually transmitted disease, this is a common skin condition called tinea cruris!”

Upon hearing this, the couple looked at each other: “Tinea cruris? What’s that!”

Although they didn’t know what it was, just hearing that it wasn’t a sexually transmitted disease instantly eased their anger by half.

Chen Cang explained, “Tinea cruris is a skin condition primarily caused by fungal infection, occurring often in the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks, areas that tend to be moist.”

“Now that it’s summer, people who tend to sweat easily are more susceptible to this condition!”

“It’s not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it dangerous, so there’s no need to worry!”

Upon hearing this, the woman was still a bit uneasy, “Doctor… can you check if I have tinea cruris too?”

The woman sat on the bed, mimicking the man’s posture, readying herself.

Chen Cang saw the two red characters for “tinea cruris.”

He nodded and said, “Yes, you also have tinea cruris, there’s no need to worry.”

Upon hearing this, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and dressed herself.

After patiently explaining tinea cruris to the couple, Chen Cang looked at them.

The couple, reassured by the explanation, also relaxed.

The man turned to the woman, “You see? It’s not a sexually transmitted disease! Always imagining nonsense, am I that kind of person? Even if I were, do I have the money for it!” he said self-righteously.

The woman, now angry, retorted, “Now you think you’re right? Who started blaming who first? You even accused me of cheating, how could you stoop so low! Have you no shame, speaking about your wife like that!”

“You talk about how you’re unemployed and home all day, have I ever complained about you? Do I ever grumble about having to provide for the family, running around all day?”

“It would have been fine if you had just been uncomprehending, but you maligned me, accusing me of infidelity!”

“Let me tell you, if I were to cheat, I would have done it long ago, not waited until today!”

After venting their frustrations, both of them cooled down.

The man, feeling timid, refrained from speaking further, and the woman, seeing his demeanor, lost her desire to scold.

The two sat in silence beside each other!

The woman, suddenly curious, asked, “Doctor, we’ve been married for so many years and never had this disease before. How come it suddenly appeared?”

Chen Cang was taken aback, “There are many reasons, but most are due to fungal infections, like using uncleanly disinfected towels and slippers in hotels, as well as swimming pools and public baths.”

The woman sighed; she often went on business trips, so it was inevitable for her to use hotel towels and such.

Unexpectedly, the disease was caused by her own actions.

At this thought, the woman felt a sense of helplessness.

Seeing this, the man consoled her, “Wife, it’s okay, didn’t you hear the doctor? It’s very common, don’t worry.”

Honestly, in this month of being unemployed at home, he truly felt the hardships his wife usually endured.

Washing clothes, cooking, tidying up, sending the children to school…

In the hustle and bustle of the day, he couldn’t accomplish anything.

Thinking of this, and seeing his wife busy for the sake of their home, he felt heartache.

“Honey, you don’t have to work so hard anymore, I’ve almost found a job.”

The woman, seeing the man like this, also felt a bit of compassion.

…

Finally, the couple reconciled.

Chen Cang said, “I’m about to start work at the dermatology department, go see a dermatologist and apply some medicine.”

The husband and wife nodded in agreement, just when Chen Cang suddenly noticed the man’s feet in flip-flops.

Suddenly two red characters appeared in his field of vision!

[Athlete’s Foot]

Chen Cang was stunned!

Could the cause of the illness be here?

[Athlete’s Foot], perhaps not well understood by everyone, also goes by another name, Tinea pedis!

It’s a common, contagious skin disease, mainly caused by fungal infections.

It often causes itching, peeling, exudation, and skin redness, among other symptoms.

Chen Cang felt that he had grasped the cause of the disease!

That is, many cases of Tinea cruris have a history of Athlete’s Foot, and more than half are spread from Athlete’s Foot.

Chen Cang was about to speak.

He heard the couple muttering, “Hurry up and go to work, look at the state of our home, clothes are being washed haphazardly, you even threw my silk clothes in the washing machine! It’s infuriating!”

The man gave an awkward smile, “It’s just too much trouble, honey. You don’t need to go on business trips anymore, so tiring and staying in hotels isn’t good for your health.”

Upon hearing this, the woman gave the man a sharp look, “You think I want to? Also, the way you always stuff your clothes and socks in the wash together, what were you thinking?”

Chen Cang keenly picked up on this point and interrupted them.

“Excuse me for interrupting, sir, you have Athlete’s Foot, or Tinea pedis. If you wash your underwear and socks together, and if they are not thoroughly cleaned and sufficiently sterilized during the washing process, it’s very likely that the Athlete’s Foot can spread through your clothes and underwear and turn into Tinea cruris!”

This statement once again aggravated the couple’s conflict!

The woman thought it was her fault, but now that she heard it was the man’s fault,

she became even more angry!

“Did you wash my underwear with your socks!”

The man gave another awkward smile and ran outside!

Seeing this, the woman, both angry and cursing, followed him out.

Chen Cang chuckled, this couple… really were something else.

However…

The question of whether underwear and socks can be washed together.

Can actually be explained.

If there are no various diseases, they can be washed together, but they must be cleaned thoroughly, ensuring that sterilization is carried out. In this way, there should be no impact.

But if you already have Athlete’s Foot, it is not recommended to wash them together, and even flip-flops are best not shared.

Busy all morning, Chen Cang stepped out of the treatment room.

By this time, it was almost eight o’clock, about time to start the shift change, and Chen Cang went in as well.

ps: Today, there are only three updates, sorry everyone. It’s not that I don’t want to write, but because I have training all day on the 30th.

There was originally a gathering tonight, but because I came back early to write, I was very upset…

Alas, I realized I’m really just a small fry, there are too many big shots, and my mentality almost exploded.

Time to adjust promptly, work hard and strive to become a somewhat impressive person myself!

Keep it up, old-timer!
