Chapter 67: The Strange Patient
"It's not early, I'll go to the hospital, I may come back late or not at night, you two rest early, don't wait for me." Wu Lang took the remaining half bottle of Scottish "Waterga", drank it with his head up, got up from the sofa, and walked towards the door.
"You drink, stop driving, I'll send you. Yin Yuting shouted behind him.
"I'll take a taxi and stay at home with the fat brother. Wu Lang turned back to Yin Yuting, smiled, and then walked out of the door.
"Brother, he'll be fine. Yin Yuting frowned slightly and looked at the empty gate.
"Tingting, it's okay, Xiao Langlang, don't look at his age, he has also been mixed in society for more than a year, he used to drive a taxi, run a truck, who has never seen anyone, social experience, dealing with people, don't have to be fat brother, he is calm and calm, let's wait for him at home with peace of mind." Yin Fatzi comforted her again and again.
Yin Yuting nodded, did not speak, and still looked out of the door.
A taxi stopped at the gate of Haizhou First People's Hospital, Wu Lang paid for the car, walked out of it, and walked straight towards the outpatient building and the laboratory department.
"Sister Niu, you haven't gotten off work so late!" As soon as Wu Lang entered the laboratory office, he saw Section Chief Niu hurriedly walking towards the door.
"Alas, don't mention it, I would have gone back a long time ago, but I received a call from the dean in the afternoon, saying that there was an important patient, come to the hospital later, and let me personally go to take blood for him for testing, this is not just arriving, in the inpatient department, haven't you left so late?"
"I didn't come to the hospital because I had something to do during the day, and I just arrived, I'll go with you to have a look, okay?" Wu Lang said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go together!" Section Chief Niu took a white coat from the hanger and handed it to Wu Lang.
Immediately, Section Chief Niu led Wu Lang and walked towards the door, and as soon as the two of them walked to the door of the inpatient building, a small nurse hurriedly walked over.
"Chief Niu, you change your clothes before you go in. ”
"I'm not wearing work clothes, what else am I going to change?"
"Section Chief Niu, I don't know the specific situation, Vice President Li asked me to wait for you here, you still changed your clothes first, and you will be clear when you get to the ward. The little nurse looked at her with some resignation and said.
"Okay, you lead the way. Chief Niu nodded.
The little nurse took the two of them to the nurse's office on the first floor, took out two sets of green surgical gowns, four pairs of disposable medical rubber surgical gloves, two P100 masks, and two pairs of disposable shoe covers, put them in front of Wu Lang and Section Chief Niu, and then turned around and went out.
"What are you doing with such a nervous blood draw, I want to see what kind of patient this is?"
Wu Lang also put it on, and said secretly in his heart: I'll go, just wear two layers of rubber gloves, and make a P100 mask, which is the highest level of N95 masks, specifically for occupational respiratory protection, including certain microbial particles (such as viruses, bacteria, mold, anthrax, tuberculosis bacillus, etc.). It can prevent droplet infection caused by splashing of patients' body fluids or blood, suitable for oily or non-oily particles, and the P100 mask must have a barrier efficiency of more than 99.7% when tested with 0.3 micron particles.
The two finally put on the P100 mask, covered the mouth, nose and chin, fixed the nose clip, placed the elastic band on the head, adjusted the comfort, and did a tightness check to see if the mask was invaginated when inhaling, and whether there was leakage around the mask when breathing, and then walked out of the nurse's office, followed the little nurse waiting at the door, and took the elevator upstairs.
The high-speed elevator rose to the top 28th floor before stopping, and the little nurse led Wu Lang and Section Chief Niu to the door of the last room on the right, and then hurriedly trotted all the way away.
The two of them pushed open the door and entered the room, and saw more than a dozen doctors and nurses standing inside, gathered around the hospital bed, dressed exactly the same as them, without speaking, even if they were acquaintances, they couldn't tell who was who.
At this time, a man came over and said, "Section Chief Niu, you draw blood for him first, you must be very careful." ”
"I see, Vice Dean Li. After Chief Niu finished speaking, he nodded and walked towards the hospital bed.
Wu Lang also followed closely behind Section Chief Niu and walked over quickly.
A man in his thirties, wearing only a pair of medical shorts, with sparse hair on his head, and a pair of eyes that had been completely sunken, stared blankly at the roof of the room, his cheekbones were huge, his lips were black and purple, and his ribs were protruding, one by one clearly visible. As you breathe, your ribs rise and fall slightly, and you feel as if you might break if you touch them. The thighs are even more daring to look at, they are as thick as the arms, and the skin is extremely loose, as if it is directly hanging on the bones, and there is no muscle at all.
Although Wu Lang was a medical student, he had never seen such a depleted body, and he looked like a living dead.
Chief Niu carefully looked at the man's elbow fossa, fingers, earlobes, and finally the radial artery in the man's wrist before he pricked the blood needle.
The radial artery is located on the inside of the wrist on the thumb side, and the pulsating blood vessel can be felt. There are not many superficial arteries in the body, and even fewer are located in the arms, and the radial artery is the rare one. The content of arterial blood is basically the same as that of venous blood, because the blood vessel wall of the artery is particularly thick and the nerve distribution is abundant, so the arterial puncture is much more painful than the venipuncture blood collection, and the arterial blood pressure is much higher than that of venous blood, and the location is deeper than that of the vein, so it is more difficult to compress and stop bleeding after puncture than the vein.
The main difference between arteriovenous blood is the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide contained in the blood between the two. Venous blood flows through the lungs and releases carbon dioxide produced by the body's metabolism, which is combined with the newly breathed oxygen, so the oxygen content of arterial blood is higher than that of venous blood. Therefore, arterial blood is collected when a "blood gas analysis" is needed to assess whether the patient is hypoxic, carbon dioxide retention, and whether there are toxins in the blood.
The man's body did not move, and his blank gaze was still looking at the roof of the room stupidly, as if he was not pumping his own blood.
The chief of the cow section did not work hard, and after drawing blood, he took the blood sample and put it on a plate. Immediately, a male doctor patted her on the shoulder, walked out of the ward with her, and handed her a medical record.
Wu Lang immediately came close and looked at it: the liver and kidneys and other organs were failing, and water and rice had not been eaten for nearly a month, and he relied on the infusion of nutrient solution to maintain his life. According to common sense, a patient like him has long since lost the strength to support his heartbeat, but he lives tenaciously and painfully, that is, he does not die.
"Chief Niu, he is a local of our Haizhou, doing business in the national capital, I heard that the family is very rich, is an only son, has not yet started a family, is transferred from the national capital hospital, I have been a doctor for more than ten years, or the first time I met such a patient, he is now in extreme pain every minute and every second, once he refused to eat for more than ten days, serious heart failure, the doctor thought that he would definitely die, but the ghost made the god come back to life. His only goal now is to die, and death is the most comfortable thing for him. The male doctor wore a mask and said angrily.
"Why are you sending us to the hospital for a disease that can't be cured in the national capital?"
"The hospital over there won't accept him directly, maybe the family wants him to return to his roots, so he came to our hospital, and he can live one day at a time, pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" After the male doctor finished speaking, he kept shaking his head.
Then Wu Lang and Section Chief Niu came to the nurse's office, took off the two layers of rubber gloves, threw them in the special dirt bucket, and then grabbed the neck tie of the P100 mask, lifted the head, and then removed the mask, and then took off the green surgical gown on the body, and discarded it all in the special dirt bucket.
"I'm going to drive this blood test report out overnight, you go with me, or do it freely. Section Chief Niu looked at Wu Lang and said with a smile.
"Sister Niu, then you are busy first, I will go to other departments and look for you later. Wu Lang also looked at her and said with a smile.
Section Chief Niu nodded, and then, taking the sealed blood sample, took the elevator downstairs.
