The parathyroid glands are one of the endocrine glands in the human body. It grows behind the thyroid gland, which is on the sides of the throat in the neck.

The human body has two pairs of parathyroid glands, brownish-yellow, shaped like soybeans, which cannot be touched by ordinary touch, and can only be seen through images.

Its main function is to secrete parathyroid hormone and regulate the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body.

If the parathyroid gland is low or completely removed, the secretion of parathyroid hormone is insufficient, which will cause the blood calcium to decrease, and the blood phosphorus will gradually rise, resulting in hypocalcemia convulsions and even death.

However, if the parathyroid gland is hyperactive and the hormone secretion is excessive, the bone calcium enters the bloodstream and strengthens the absorption of calcium by the kidneys, which leads to the abnormal deposition of calcium salts in some tissues, causing pathological calcification of the tissues, and kidney stones may be formed.

Due to the decrease in bone calcium, it is easy to cause fractures.

For example, this condition of workers may be osteoporosis, kidney stones, bone deformities, hyperplasia, etc. caused by hyperparathyroidism.

Guo Xiang took the workers to the CT room again to scan the parathyroid glands, and sure enough, the parathyroid glands had an adenoma, which was obvious.

After checking the kidneys again, there are also kidney stones, which can basically be determined.

Then blood is drawn, blood calcium and blood phosphorus are checked, and urine, obviously blood calcium is super high, blood phosphorus is too little, and the amount of calcium excreted in urine is significantly increased, which can be diagnosed, that is, hyperparathyroidism, not bone cancer.

"So what's going to happen now?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"Surgery." Guo Xiang said, "If it is secondary hyperparathyroidism, it is generally treated conservatively, and medication is sufficient. However, he was primary, and the effect of medication was not good, and surgery was required, which was to remove the diseased parathyroid glands. ”

"Is there any danger?" Gu Zhennan asked again.

"There should be no danger, the biggest risk is laryngeal damage. This is mainly because the parathyroid glands are extremely closely related to the laryngeal cartilage, laryngeal muscles, and laryngeal nerves. In particular, the laryngeal nerve is very small, and in many cases the parathyroid glands attach directly to the laryngeal nerve. ”

"It is easy to damage the laryngeal function during surgery, resulting in hoarseness and even difficulty breathing. However, I try to do minimally invasive as much as possible, so there shouldn't be a big problem. Guo Xiang said.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" The workers were grateful.

"However, you have to recuperate at home for three years after the operation, and you can't work, and your bones are seriously deformed and you can't work." Guo Xiang said.

The worker's expression darkened, what did the family eat if they didn't work for three years?

"Don't worry, when you're ready, you're still welcome to go to the oil field!" Gu Zhennan patted the worker's shoulder.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" The worker nodded.

Guo Xiang began to arrange for the operation of the workers.

She didn't know that the workers had only been recuperating for a year after returning home, and with their super willpower, they exercised every day and resumed work a year later.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Soon it was April, and the sky was already warm.

The hospital has more and more patients, the staff of various departments are full, Guo Xiang has imported some advanced medical equipment, and the scale of the hospital is getting bigger and bigger.

However, with the increase in patients, especially the number of critically ill patients, there are not enough doctors in the ICU.

Originally, the patients in the ICU are all critical, if the patient dies without paying attention, the family is easy to make trouble, the doctor's work pressure is high, and the medical level is higher than that of the general department, and because different critically ill patients are sent to the ICU, the ICU doctors are almost all general practitioners, and they have to know everything, which is very demanding.

Because the patient is critical, many times there are people who have to be guarded 24 hours a day, and there must be doctors at night, and there are even fewer doctors in hospitals when there are more people.

Guo Xiang said this, Zeng Jing introduced a former colleague to Guo Xiang, she has been in the United States, and has plans to return to China recently, and Zeng Jing happened to tell her about the hospital.

As soon as the man inquired, he found out that there was such a good hospital in China, so he immediately agreed to come.

Guo Xiang personally went to the airport to pick up people, and she did not hesitate to put down her body to greet the doctors with excellent medical skills.

When I arrived at the airport, it didn't take long for the flight to arrive, and people came out one after another.

Guo Xiang didn't know what the doctor looked like, and held a sign with the name "Yuan Mei" written on it, and when she came out, she knew that she was here to pick her up.

After waiting for a while, Guo Xiang suddenly saw Fu Peiwen coming out in a wheelchair, and there was a person behind her helping to push the wheelchair, which seemed to be her mother.

Guo Xiang was stunned for a moment, didn't she go to the United States for treatment? Is this cured?

Fu Peiwen also saw Guo Xiang, and looked at Guo Xiang coldly like a poisonous snake.

Guo Xiang frowned and bravely greeted him, he was not afraid, why, he still wanted to fight again?

Fu's mother felt the coldness on Fu Peiwen's body, leaned down and asked, "What's wrong, Peiwen?" ”

She hadn't seen Guo Xiang and didn't know it was her.

"It's okay!" Fu Peiwen looked away, she didn't want her mother to be too careful, her parents repeatedly warned her not to provoke Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan again, but how could she swallow this breath, if it weren't for them, how could she become a waste?

She must retaliate, but she must not let her parents know, or they will stop her.

Guo Xiang sneered, what is the blame for herself, all this is caused by herself.

However, when she saw Fu Peiwen, she reminded herself that there would be no good thing for her to come back, and she had to let Ye Qian pay attention to it, as well as at home, all the bodyguards that should be used had to be used.

At this time, someone walked up to Guo Xiang and shouted, "You are Dean Guo, right?" ”

Guo Xiang turned his face and saw the woman in front of him, sure enough, she was as her name was, she looked bright and moving, if she didn't know that she was a doctor, she would have thought she was a star.

"Are you Dr. Yuan Mei?" Guo Xiang smiled.

"It's me!" Yuan Mei also smiled, "I'm tired that Dean Guo came to pick me up in person!" ”

"It's my honor to have you come to our hospital!" Guo Xiang smiled and took Yuan Mei's luggage, "Is this just a box?" ”

"Yes, some things have been sent back to China, and everything that should be thrown away!" Yuan Mei said with a smile.

Guo Xiang nodded, "Now that the weather is warm, it's enough to have clothes to carry around." The hospital has prepared a house for you, and you can move in with your bag. ”

"Thank you, Dean Guo!" Yuan Mei was very happy, she had also heard Zeng Jing say about the situation of the hospital, and it was already very good to have such conditions, and she might not be able to find a second one in China.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I will try my best to help you solve them!" Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, then you're welcome." Yuan Mei smiled, she didn't expect Guo Xiang to be such a good talker, and he was also very beautiful.

She is Yan Kong, and with such a good-looking colleague and boss, her work will be happier.

"But the work of our hospital in the ICU is very arduous now, you have to be mentally prepared!" Guo Xiang gave Yuan Mei a vaccination.

Although he is a private doctor, because the hospital has a reputation and can treat many diseases that others can't treat, there is no shortage of patients at all, and all departments are busy.

"Understood, that's why I'm here to help you solve your problems!" Yuan Mei said.

Guo Xiang smiled, that's good.

"You wait here for me, I'll go get the car over." Guo Xiang said.

When Guo Xiang drove over, Yuan Mei saw that she was driving an Audi and raised her eyebrows, it seems that Dean Guo is very rich.
