Lin Jie picked some of his favorite foods and took them to the dining area. Just as he sat down, Chen Shi also sat opposite him with his own plate of food.
"Lin Jie, I have a surgery at Limin Hospital this afternoon. Do you want to come along and check it out?"
"What kind of surgery?" Lin Jie asked casually!
"A pulmonary appendectomy!"
As soon as Chen Shi mentioned this, Lin Jie immediately understood.
This is a case of pulmonary sequestration, considered a rare congenital disease, classified under congenital pulmonary development anomalies.
Normal people have five lung lobes, two on the left, three on the right. However, patients with pulmonary sequestration have an additional underdeveloped lobe.
Such cases usually are undetectable unless complications arise.
