Chapter 111: The so-called medical blindness
Due to China's large population base, different levels of education and relatively little publicity of basic medical knowledge, it is still common to see a lot of medical illiteracy in hospital outpatient clinics.
The most common medical common sense mistakes include such as: depression is not a disease, it is hypocrisy, allergies are good to practice more, wisdom toothache is eating too much sugar, myopia must be playing games and so on.
Coupled with the popularity of the Internet, many people will one-sidedly believe in the treatment methods on the Internet or only read the content of the Internet out of context, but medical blindness is not terrible, as long as you come to the hospital to believe in the doctor's advice, it is okay, the most terrible is the very assertive medical blind, then you may delay your condition because of your own misinterpretation.
After Huang Guowang said to Fan Quanshan that he might open a CT examination, he resolutely left the hospital, and even did not do the B-ultrasound that he had already paid the money and lined up, anyway, he thought that fatty liver was a rich disease of people now, and it was not a disease at all.
In fact, in our lives, not only ordinary people will misinterpret the condition, but also doctors.
Before going to the outpatient clinic today, Fan Quanshan told Liang Bo that there would be a retired old doctor from the hospital to handle the admission procedures in the afternoon, and since he had an operation in the afternoon, he would let Liang Bo receive him.
After the outpatient clinic was over, the inpatient department of Liang Bo Bo arranged a bed for the old doctor.
I heard Fan Quanshan say that the patient admitted in the afternoon was an old expert in cardiology, and she was diagnosed with advanced gallbladder cancer during this hospital physical examination.
At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Bo received a call from the old expert, saying that he had arrived at the nurse's station of the hepatobiliary surgery department.
After receiving the call, Liang Bo hurried to the nurse's station to greet the new patient.
I saw a white-haired woman standing in front of the counter of the nurse's station, with kind eyebrows, but she looked very delicately dressed and was a very temperamental old lady.
Standing next to her was an old gentleman of her age, with a pair of rimless glasses, carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and smiling all the time.
"You're Teacher Liu Guiyuan, right?" Liang Bo asked with a smile.
Old Professor Liu Guiyuan stood beside the nurse's station and watched Liang Bo call him, and replied cordially: "Yes, you are Xiao Liang, right?"
Although Professor Liu's hair is completely white, his mental outlook is still very good, and his voice is sonorous and powerful, not like a patient.
"Yes, hello, Mr. Liu. Liang Bo said with a smile, "I happened to meet my master today and he had surgery, so let me arrange a bed for you." ”
"Oops... I'm sorry to bother you. Liu Guiyuan said to the old gentleman beside him. "Xiao Fan is really good, I told him yesterday, I didn't expect him to be so attentive. ”
"Well, Xiao Fan is good. The old gentleman echoed.
"Oh, Xiao Liang, this is my lover, his surname is Chang, he is our retired teacher from Linjiang Normal University. ”
"Oh, hello, Professor Chang. Liang Bo hurriedly greeted.
Professor Chang said amiably to Liang Bo, "Xiao Liang, I've worked hard for you today. ”
"You're so polite, that's what I'm supposed to do. Liang Bo said, "Oh, by the way, I have already arranged Ward 2 for you. ”
"If you don't have anything to do now, you can get over it, and I've basically completed the formalities on the nurse's side. Liang Bo added.
"Oops... Xiao Liang, I'm really bothering you today. Liu Guiyuan said kindly.
"Hi, it's fine. Liang Bo said, "You're welcome, come, I'll help you get this." ”
As he spoke, Liang Bo took a large bag of heavy objects from Professor Chang's hand.
"Your thing is also quite heavy, why didn't you let the child send it over?" Liang Bo asked curiously.
"Oh, my son settled in Australia and rarely comes back. Professor Liu replied with a smile.
When Liang Bo heard Professor Liu's words, he quickly stopped his topic.
The traditional Chinese idea is to raise children to prevent old age, and now that their son has settled abroad, the old man is sick again, which is indeed a troublesome thing, Liang Bo then understood, no wonder the master just told him to arrange for them to be hospitalized before the operation.
An inexplicable ** spirit made Liang Bo suddenly full of energy.
He enthusiastically led the two old men to Ward 2 together.
Ward 2 was the high-quality ward where Xie Pengfei lived before, and Liu Guiyuan said with great satisfaction after seeing the ward: "I know that it is difficult to arrange independent wards, so it is really troublesome for you." ”
Professor Liu was so polite, which made Liang Bo a little embarrassed.
"Don't be so polite, you dedicated all your time to the hospital when you were young, and now that you are hospitalized, arranging a room for you is also what I should do. Liang Bo replied.
"This kid is really good at talking. Professor Liu said with a smile.
Liang Bo was actually very curious when she heard her master advance her condition, in fact, gallbladder cancer can be prevented, how could she, as a doctor, let the disease progress to this point before discovering it.
Out of curiosity, Liang Bo chatted: "I heard that you were diagnosed with gallbladder cancer during the hospital physical examination, did you have no other symptoms before? ”
"I mean you're a doctor, so you should be able to detect some of the symptoms in advance. Liang Bohan added with a smile.
Liang Bo is puzzled because the occurrence of advanced gallbladder cancer is not a one-time thing, many of them have gallstones, cholecystitis and other early diseases, which may be easy for ordinary patients to ignore, but for old doctors with medical knowledge, it should not be undiscovered, at least not to cause the physical examination to find that it is already advanced.
Professor Liu Guiyuan looked at Liang Bo so curious, and said with great regret: "Child, I found out so late is actually because I am too confident, I think I have medical knowledge, so I missed the best treatment period!"
These words made Liang Bo even more confused.
"Do you mean you've noticed some symptoms before?"
So Professor Liu Guiyuan slowly recounted her experience along the way.
It turned out that Professor Liu Guiyuan was diagnosed with gallstones more than 20 years ago before he retired.
"Then why didn't you go for surgery at that time?" Liang Bo asked.
"At that time, I didn't have surgery because of several considerations, first, my gallstones had no symptoms, no biliary colic, and my stomach never hurt, and gallstones at that time were also found by a physical examination, so everyone cared about it, and second, I thought that as a medical professional, I always adhered to a point of view that many people have no symptoms for life, and they live with stones until they die. In that case, why do you have to be stabbed?" Professor Liu Guiyuan said.
Professor Liu's words are conclusive.
Xiaowan warmly reminds that primary gallbladder cancer, no matter how it is treated, still progresses rapidly and eventually leads to death. There are 2~4 times more women than men. It is more common in 50~70 years old, and early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of great significance to the prognosis of this disease.
