074 Fluid accumulation in the lungs
The father who completely broke out was absolutely unrelenting, and while scolding the attending physician for not being trustworthy, he insisted that I immediately ask for a clear deadline. When exactly will it be extubated? When exactly will I be discharged from the hospital?
I really couldn't shirk it, so I had no choice but to ask. Because of my father's irritable temper, after repeatedly greeting the attending doctor, I asked my father what he was anxious to know. As before, the attending physician's answer was still an ambiguous "a day or two".
When I told my father about the doctor's answer, he was even more angry. "A day or two, a day or two! Each time it's a day or two. But a whole month has passed, and I'm still lying in the ward! If this dragged on any longer, I would surely be the last person in the ward to be discharged (my father meant that he would be discharged later than the seventy-something old man in the bed on the south side). ”
When my father was angry, it happened that my sister also came. After asking about the situation, my sister also thought that the attending doctor's approach was extremely inappropriate. Although my sister knew that the attending physician was well-intentioned, she felt that this was not enlightenment and persuasion, but constant deception. This approach of the attending physician can only play a certain role in a very short time, but in the long run, the disadvantages are very obvious. My sister believes that her father's current extremely unstable mental state is not unrelated to the wrong persuasion method of the attending physician.
My father didn't believe the attending physician at all. "Hurry up and ask. Do you have to give me a clear deadline, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow? Otherwise, I'll go home by myself now. My sister's understanding made my father's emotions even more excited.
I had no choice but to go over and inquire again.
After knowing my intention, the attending physician said helplessly: "Your father doesn't know, don't you know?" The reason why I have been delaying my discharge from the hospital is entirely for your father's good! ”
"I know that. We have always been very grateful for your care and concern. It's just that my father's temper ......," I replied very apologetically.
"Well, if it weren't for the size of the tumor, it wouldn't have moved to the lungs." The attending physician sighed, then continued, "If this problem is not resolved, I really don't feel comfortable letting your father out of the hospital." After all, there are doctors, there are equipment, and if there is an emergency, it can also respond in time. ”
"I know, I know...... In fact, from the perspective of our children, we also hope that my father will stay here for two more days. It's just that I'm afraid that my father will backfire if he has an emotional outburst. "I very tactfully voiced the worries in my heart.
The attending physician gave me an understanding look and said, "It's hard to say how long it will take to get this situation. As it stands, the least that is, the fluid in the lungs must be removed first. In this way, I will give you an order, and you can take your father to do a B-ultrasound now. Be sure to remember to remind the examining physician to 'spot'. ”
"Fixed?" I asked, a little confused.
"It's just a red dot in a place where it's suitable for extracting fluid. Rest assured, you only need to give a reminder and the examining physician will know what to do. The attending physician patiently explained.
After thanking me sincerely, I went back to the ward with the examination list from the attending physician.
"Stinky boy, are you colluding with the surname so-and-so (the last name of the attending physician) to fool me together!" When he learned that I hadn't asked for a clear deadline, my father was annoyed.
"Dad, how can it?" I put on a very innocent face," they said, "It makes sense. Dad, if you want to be discharged from the hospital, you have to extract the fluid in your lungs first, right? ”
"I can't believe you! So-and-so (the pronoun of my sister's nickname), it's better for you to ask. ”
"Dad, just ask, then we have to wait until after the inspection. Let's go, let's do B ultrasound first! "Without saying a word, I carried my father outside.
My father also knew that if he wanted to be discharged from the hospital, he had to solve the problem of fluid in his lungs first. Therefore, there is no sign of non-cooperation.
The ultrasound examination is not as busy as the CT examination. It didn't take us long to check it out. As the attending physician said, the examiner placed a small red dot somewhere on my father's back.
When he returned to the ward, his father inevitably retold the story. I had to try to persuade him. "Dad, if you go back with fluid in your lungs, then you can't rest assured?" "Isn't the attending physician actively solving the problem right now? I estimate that after the fluid in the lungs is removed, I should be able to be discharged from the hospital. ”……
I was afraid that my father would anger the attending physician by asking someone else to inquire about it. After all, now the follow-up problems of my father have to be solved by others. If the attending physician gets angry and picks his son, wouldn't the father be in danger? Fortunately, under my on-the-point persuasion, my father finally dismissed the plan to ask my sister to ask for a clear deadline again.
However, my father's eagerness was not alleviated in the slightest. In the evening, my father, who had already made a compromise, asked me to come over and ask if I could come to my house for the night tonight and take a shower.
I don't think my father's request is too much, so I went to inquire very quickly and rarely.
When the attending physician heard what I said, he said with a cold face: "Don't get an inch!" Originally, after the fluid was removed, it was best to stay in the hospital for a few days. Given your father's eagerness to be discharged, I have made concessions. You go and tell him that after the fluid in his lungs is removed, he will be discharged from the hospital. But tonight, you must stay here with peace of mind! ”
At this point, of course I can't say anything more. Fortunately, my father saw that he was really going to be discharged from the hospital this time, so he didn't have any more emotions.
The next day, after the ward rounds, the attending physician's young assistant came and removed the drain from my father's lungs. It's just that, probably because of fear, he never came to take fluid from his father's lungs. Eventually, at around 10 a.m., it was the attending physician who did it himself. Although there was already a "fixed point" for extracting fluid and placing needles, the attending physician still measured his father with his right hand very carefully for a long time before daring to give the needle. I saw with my own eyes that the attending physician had drawn several syringes. When everything was done, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Because from the cautious expression of the attending physician, it is not difficult for me to see that there is still a lot of risk in this extraction.
After I was done, the attending physician asked me to go through the discharge procedures. I asked my father if there would be any more fluid in his lungs. The attending physician replied that it was okay and that he would come for regular check-ups in the future. At this point, the longest hospital life in my father's life has come to an end in the true sense.
