Chapter 155: An Uncomfortable Ward
Zhou Xiao originally planned to take a look at the laboratory this time and leave, but it has been more than a month since he knew it.
After Zhou Xiao went home to rest for the night, she called Chen Ye the next day.
Zhou Xiao: "How is the company's New Year's Day holiday arranged, there is no holiday today." ”
Chen Ye: "I won't have New Year's Day until after work tomorrow, and I'm still at work today." ”
Zhou Xiao: "That's okay, you come and take it over, go out to do something, I don't have a car now." ”
Hongguang was transferred by the company to pull the goods and never returned them, and Zhou Xiao didn't bother to ask.
Chen Ye was a little depressed, "You really treat me as a driver?" ”
Zhou Xiao yawned, "It's more convenient for you to use, I'm still eating breakfast, let's make an appointment in half an hour." ”
"What do you mean to be more convenient? Make an appointment!! When are you still eating breakfast? Chen Ye hung up the phone and complained depressedly, she looked at the time and saw that it was ten o'clock.
Putting down a lot of work in his hand, Chen Ye asked Wang Yulan for leave.
"Something at home?" Wang Yulan asked.
"Sister Lan, I've sold it all to Origin Technology, where is there a home! The boss had something to do and asked me to pick him up. ”
Wang Yulan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Go ahead, I won't use the company today." ”
"Where are you going today?" After receiving Zhou Xiao, Chen Ye asked, "I have put down a lot of work in my hand, and I will work overtime again tonight." ”
Today, Chen Ye drove his own private car to pick up people.
"Go to Jiangcheng People's Hospital."
"Are you sick?" Chen Ye's concern is beyond words.
"I'm in good health, just going to see patients."
"Are you a friend or a relative? Is it good to buy a gift? ”
"No, just go and see." Zhou Xiao was absent-minded, and his mind was all thinking about the application of digestive bacteria in the human body.
Everything is a double-edged sword, and digestive bacteria are no exception.
Digestive bacteria are very powerful at the right temperature, which can directly help the human body digest food, and the decomposed products can be directly absorbed by the capillaries.
But if you don't pay attention to it and let the digestive bacteria touch the body tissues, it will be no different from corpse water.
At that time, the food is not digested, and it is digested by itself.
Patients who have used digestive bacteria will have the following conversations:
"Since I used digestive bacteria, I don't have to eat anymore!"
"Why?"
"Because the digestive bacteria digest my stomach, the next step is to digest my intestinal system, I don't feel hungry after eating myself, I feel great!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao: ......
This is absolutely not going to happen, and if so, the digestive bacteria are useless except for being able to dispose of garbage.
Today is Thursday, and Jiangcheng People's Hospital is still overcrowded.
Jiangcheng People's Hospital, driven by Origin Technology, has become very many patients.
The patients are mainly concentrated in hair transplantation and respiratory medicine.
The increase in patients has led to the hospital's revenue, and the hospital has more funds to invest in research in other disciplines and the introduction of talents.
Therefore, other departments have also introduced talents, increased equipment, and improved medical technology, and Jiangcheng People's Hospital has become a veritable tertiary hospital.
After the car was parked, Zhou Xiao called Peng Yufei.
"Dean Peng, are you in the hospital?"
"Alas! Mr. Zhou! Are you in the hospital? ”
"I want to go to your inpatient department of gastroenterology to see the situation, and ask Dean Peng to arrange a staff member to take you down, we only look at the patient's condition and understand some data."
Dean Peng apologized and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm very sorry! I am now attending a symposium in Shanghai. If you tell me a day in advance, you'll have to rush back! ”
What Dean Peng said was not bragging, all the honors of Jiangcheng People's Hospital and Dean Peng now were brought by Origin Technology, and Dean Peng didn't dare to lie.
"You're busy, just ask a staff member to help you take the way."
"You wait a while, I will immediately call Director Yao Zhiwei of the Department of Gastroenterology and ask him to come over to assist you in your work."
Ten minutes later, Director Yao hurried over with three medical staff and said sorry to Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao said: "Director Yao, I came today just to learn about the treatment of serious patients in the Department of Gastroenterology. ”
Yao Zhiwei said: "Okay, let me introduce the situation to you." ”
13th Floor of the Inpatient Department, Inpatient Department of Gastroenterology.
Yao Zhiwei said: "In fact, compared with other departments, the Department of Gastroenterology is not a serious ward, even if there are some malignant tumors, that is, cancer patients, if they are not transferred to other places, their survival time is relatively long. ”
Yao Zhiwei is telling the truth, "But the most painful part of these critically ill patients is that the quality of life has become very poor, for example, patients with gastric cancer who have had their stomach removed from the stomach should pay considerable attention to their diet in the future, and basically can only eat liquid food or small particles, which can be directly absorbed by the intestines without grinding."
There are also some patients with bowel cancer, especially rectal resection, whose rectum is usually diverted, and even if the treatment is successful, they have to drag a bag outside the body for the rest of their lives because they don't know when the excrement will come out. ”
"Of course, there are serious ones, we have patients with digestive tract tumors, all the stomach and most of the intestines have been removed, and they can only rely on nutrient infusions to maintain vital signs in the hospital, even if such a patient is not in danger of life, he will spend his life in bed, whether it is for him or his family, life is actually a kind of torture."
The survival cycle, which is directly related to the disease of cancer, cannot be changed with the current technology of Zhou Xiao's life science laboratory.
But quality of life and treatment modalities, life sciences and medical laboratories are able to optimize it.
After introducing the basic situation, Director Yao said: "It just so happens that I am going to do a ward round today, so you can join me." ”
The attending physician and nursing staff followed behind with medical records, and when Director Yao came to a hospital bed, the doctor handed over the patient's brief medical records.
Although the diagnosis of hospitals now relies on equipment, and there are standardized modules for treatment, the level of doctors also has an important impact on patients. Different doctors will interpret the same condition and the same report differently.
With some doctors, you may not be able to save it, but with experienced doctors, you can still save it.
This is the meaning of having experienced doctors such as the director check the bed regularly.
In the intensive care ward, the doctor will not loudly explain the patient's condition during ward rounds, because most of these patients have cancer and the patient himself is not aware of it.
The doctor also respects the opinions of the family and will not inform the patient of the actual condition, but only silently looks at the medical records and gives some advice.
"Doctor, it's still very difficult for me to eat, and I feel sick to my stomach when I eat it."
The patient was a patient with esophageal cancer, had not yet undergone surgery, and he did not know he had cancer.
Director Yao said: "Drink more porridge, the family members break the fish, vegetables, etc. for the patient to eat, and strengthen nutrition during this time, otherwise you won't have anything you want to eat in the later surgery." ”
Several other wards are also some critically ill patients.
"Director Yao, how long will my dad continue like this?"
This is a patient with a partial gastrectomy who is being given a nutrient solution after surgery.
Director Yao said: "The survival rate after gastric cancer resection is very high, if the cancer cells do not spread, there is almost no difference between the life expectancy and the average person, but we must pay attention to the diet, and the nutrient solution must be infused until discharge." After being discharged from the hospital, chemotherapy should be carried out for a period of time, especially to pay attention to the diet, and it is advisable to be light. ”
The family thanked them again and again.
These cases are considered mild.
When he walked into the next ward, Chen Ye was almost vomited by the smell of smoke in the ward.
The smell of the hospital room was very strong, and this smell was the smell of excrement mixed with rancidity.
The last thing medical students like is actually gastroenterology, because the smell inside is too big, and I can't stand it if I don't get used to it.
Zhou Xiao patted Chen Ye on the shoulder and motioned for Chen Ye to go out.
Chen Ye nodded embarrassedly and ran out of the ward, throwing up all the breakfast.
On the hospital bed lay a middle-aged man in his early fifties, with a sleaked face and a scrawny skin.
The middle-aged man was infused, his brows were furrowed, and he was in pain, but it could be seen that he was trying his best to endure this pain and not cause trouble to anyone.
There were no family members around the patient, and there was a bowl of unfinished meals and half a steamed bun in front of the bed, and the things were already cold.
Director Yao looked at the patient's condition, did not communicate with the patient, and left the ward with Zhou Xiao.
The doctor behind Director Yao said: "The patient's family sent the patient to the hospital and went back, and there was no one to take care of him. ”
Director Yao nodded and said: "He is in the advanced stage of stomach cancer and intestinal cancer, the intestines are severely ulcerated and adhesions, we cut it open and sewed it up for him, in this case, we can't do surgery, we really have to do surgery only to remove all the stomach and remove most of the intestines, but the risk is too great, and the life expectancy of surgery will not be very long." ”
"Mr. Zhou, let's go to the conference room and sit down."
Chen Ye was already in the conference room, and she eased up after drinking a little warm water.
Director Yao was very sorry and said: "I'm sorry, the inpatient department of the Department of Gastroenterology is like this, the smell is very big, it's not that I have been working here for a long time, and I really can't stand it." ”
Chen Ye waved his hand, "I'm better, but the quality of life of the patients here is really poor, and it's more painful." ”
Director Yao said: "Yes, because the affected part is in the digestive tract and does not affect the patient's thinking, the patient can clearly feel every pain borne by the body. ”
"Some of our patients go home from surgery, because of physical reasons, the excretion is irregular, there will be excrement anytime and anywhere, the smell is very big, and they will also be disliked by the family, and if the care is not appropriate, the life expectancy of the patient is not optimistic, and the cancer cells will still metastasize after being killed."
Zhou Xiao roughly understood the situation and raised his own questions.
