Chapter 108: Biceps (Second Update)
Popeye, the one who likes to eat canned spinach, was startled by the status bar in front of him. What the hell is this popeye? After eating spinach, the muscles become huge squares, or is it that after being provoked, you will rush to find spinach everywhere to eat?
Sun Lien, like most ordinary people, just watched a few episodes of Popeye's cartoon when he was a child. If it weren't for the fact that the sailor named Buyai was so varied after eating spinach, he might have forgotten what this strange and eccentric creature looked like.
As for the "popeye sign", medical school must have never taught it. Otherwise, Sun Lien wouldn't have to be curious about what the other party had wrong here. Looking at the other party's painful expression, as well as the right arm and shoulder that were being held down hard, Sun Lien estimated that this was probably some kind of special muscle or bone injury symptoms.
No, I'm too curious. Before Sun Lien realized that he was curious, he turned his head and re-entered the rescue hall, and asked the little nurse at the medical guidance desk, "Is there a wheelchair?"
Waiting for Sun Lien to find a wheelchair, Wu Ge happened to finish registering at the toll window. Although the pain was terrible, his vital signs were stable, so he was classified into three categories by the nurses at the medical guidance desk - he had to do things like registration by himself. However, compared to the more stable four types of patients, his number will be much earlier.
"Sit down. Sun Lien pushed the wheelchair and smiled at Wu Ge. Then he pointed to the work card hanging on his chest, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor." ”
"Doctor?" Wu Ge glanced at Sun Lien and said with some confusion, "Now the doctor even has to do volunteer work?"
Sun Lien smiled and let him sit in a wheelchair, never mentioning his curiosity, but persuaded, "You have a shoulder injury, right? ”
Wu Ge sat down suspiciously. It's not that I suspect that Sun Lien may be some kind of medical liar, but the doctor would be so enthusiastic? He began to worry about himself, could he have a very rare and serious disease? Isn't there a joke on the Internet that when the doctor came over and was very interested in his performance, and asked about the process in detail...... Death is not far from you?
As soon as I entered the hospital and registered, a doctor came up, probably not because of the disease?
Wu Ge's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of a logical explanation at all. He sat in a wheelchair in a daze, and then was slowly pushed into the second consultation room where Sun Lien was calling.
"Doctor Sun, aren't you off work?" The doctor in the Department of Orthopedics who sat on the emergency shift today was Lin Tianshun, the deputy chief physician. As a student of Zheng Guoyou, his attitude towards Sun Lien was gentle and polite. Seeing Sun Lien pushing a man in, Lin Tianshun hurriedly greeted Sun Lien. However, although his face was polite, Lin Tianshun muttered a little in his heart, usually when he encountered some troublesome patients, they would transfer people to Sun Lien's ninth clinic. Now Sun Lien is pushing a wheelchair to send someone to ...... It's not going to be looking for trouble, is it?
Of course, Sun Lien didn't come to look for trouble, in fact, he came to see the excitement. After briefly explaining his situation, Wu Ge carefully took off his coat, revealing the short-sleeved T-shirt underneath and his right arm, which had been covered.
"This is Popeye syndrome. After seeing Wu Ge's right arm, Lin Tianshun pointed to Sun Lien and introduced, "The name of this syndrome is said to have been given by American doctors, isn't it appropriate?"
Wu Ge's right arm biceps brachial muscles are as high as those after eating spinach, and it looks very unusual. Compared to the normal left arm, the diameter of the biceps brachii in the right arm is about 1.5 to 2 times that of the left arm. It wasn't at all like what a normal person should look like - his arms were down vertically, and his biceps shouldn't show signs of contraction and expansion.
"The person who gave the symptom name in the first place must have loved watching TV. Sun Lien spread his hands. This phenomenon is indeed very novel, and he even took two photos of his arms with his mobile phone after obtaining Wu Ge's consent.
"Popeye syndrome is a well-defined abnormality of the body's surface. Lin Tianshun continued, and then said to Wu Ge, "I will hold your right hand, please raise your right hand as much as possible, and try to resist my strength on your arm." ”
Wu Ge grinned and did so, Lin Tianshun's strength was not too big, and in the process, Wu Ge had already raised his arms and became a little thicker.
"Well, it's Popeye syndrome. Lin Tianshun put down Wu Ge's hand, "This is a manifestation of a ruptured biceps tendon." Because of the loss of fixation, the muscles that are very elastic curl up, which is why this phenomenon is caused. He looked at Wu Ge and said, "If you want to treat it, you need to rely on surgery." The ruptured tendon should be re-sutured. ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to have surgery, Wu Ge's face suddenly changed color. He hesitated for a long time before asking, "Must you have surgery?"
"Yes. Lin Tianshun nodded, "The tendon is like a rubber band, and after an ordinary rubber band is broken, it is very difficult to take it back." Through surgery, we can reconnect the tendons together, but whether the tendons can grow well and how far they can grow depends on your personal constitution. "Ugly words are the habit of every doctor.
Sun Lien suddenly interjected, "I just saw that you were not only covering your arms, but also covering your shoulders. You hurt your shoulder too?"
"It's hurting ...... anyway," Wu Ge sighed. "I've been trying to lose weight recently, and I heard from a friend that swimming is very good, so I went to get a card for a heated swimming pool. As a result, I didn't expect to swim for only a few months, and I made my shoulders like this......"
Lin Tianshun looked at Wu Ge's somewhat chubby figure and asked casually, "It's hard to lose weight by swimming, right?"
"It's hard. Wu Ge replied with a sad face, "I only lost fifty pounds in five months." ”
"Awesome. Dr. Lin couldn't help but admire, then coughed twice and continued to ask, "Did the shoulder pain appear before or after the arm like this?"
"Before. Wu Ge replied honestly, "At first, I thought it was a muscle strain or something, and I didn't get better after applying a lot of plasters." When I was doing equipment exercises today, my arm suddenly went soft, and then there was a strange sound...... And then that's it. ”
"There may also be a rotator cuff tear. Dr. Lin sighed, "The long head tendon of the biceps brachii exists in the rotator cuff space and the intertubercular groove, and if the long head tendon is broken, the rotator cuff will also be seriously damaged." I'll admit you to the orthopedic department first, and I'll ask the inpatient department to give you an MRI tomorrow to see how it's going. ”
"Is it okay to have no surgery?" Wu Ge asked a question that many patients ask, "I'm very busy with work......
"That's not going to work. Lin Tianshun said seriously, "If the tendon rupture is not repaired quickly, the ruptured tendon may be fattened and retracted." If you drag it back, it is likely that the tendon length is not enough. Either you'll lose this arm for the rest of your life, or the doctor will stretch the tendon and attach it to you, and then your arm will have to curl up all the time. ”
Sun Lien looked at Wu Ge, who was sweating profusely, and patted his healthy left shoulder with some sympathy. "Losing weight is a good thing, of course, but you also have to do it within your means. ”
