Chapter 586 Battery Corrosion Hurts Esophagus
The child Aziz was crying all the time lying on the hospital bed, his big flickering eyes were full of tears, and he refused to eat anything, and the whole person was writhing in the nanny's arms.
Even if the young parents next to him take out eighteen kinds of martial arts to persuade them, they don't need to be comforted, at first glance, they seem to be a bear child.
At first, the doctors thought so, thinking that it must be a spoiled child.
As a result, a phrase from the chief's wife caught the attention of the doctors:
"Aziz, what's wrong with you? What do you want to tell your mother, ah, don't cry, you used to be very well-behaved, why are you so unwell-behaved today? ”
Xu Hongmei, as a woman, was a little more careful, and when she heard the words of the chief's wife, she asked:
"May I ask if the children's usual temper is like this?"
"No, no, no, my prince is usually polite and very obedient, maybe he's sick and uncomfortable today, right?"
A personal nanny next to him hurriedly stood up to clarify for his little master.
But this clarification made Xu Hongmei's eyes fall on the children, and said to the colleagues next to her in Hangzhou's local dialect:
"This little guy is crying abnormally, I'll check it first."
is also a doctor, everyone obviously saw the problem, so they nodded one by one, and after colluding with the chief and his wife, Xu Hongmei began a full body examination.
Dr. Xu took his temperature first, and it was normal. I carefully checked my throat and found that it was relatively red, there was no herpes, and there was no obvious abnormality on cardiopulmonary auscultation, so I gave a preliminary diagnosis of "acute upper respiratory tract infection".
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a cold, a small problem.
Dr. Xu said earnestly to the young parents:
"It may be that you came to the hospital yesterday for cross-infection, it may be that you can't drink milk caused by fever and throat inflammation, so far it seems that the problem is not big, but it's okay!"
Director He Xinglong next to him became more and more wrong, the more he listened, the common little cold, children would cry like this? :
"Lao Xu, I don't think it's right, this kid doesn't look like he has a cold, could it be that there is a problem with the coins in his stomach and intestines?"
Is it causing intestinal obstruction? Is it stuck at the pylorus? Did you scratch the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract?
Doctors often make bold assumptions and carefully verify incurable diseases.
Director Xu was also a little unsure: "I don't rule out this possibility, why don't we make another film for the children?" ”
The chieftain and his wife were not satisfied with the doctor's continuous X-rays of their children within 24 hours, after all, this thing has a lot of radiation and may affect the boy's future fertility, so they can not take it as much as possible.
But people are under the roof but helpless, and what they want to do is to find an opportunity to go to other countries to see a doctor.
The X-ray results came out quickly, and then everyone was taken by surprise.
There is actually a "coin" in the child's esophagus.
The doctors, you look at me, I look at you, all of them became unconfident, and quickly found last night's X-ray, and found that there was clearly only one coin in last night's film.
So where did the coins in the esophagus come from? This is a question for all.
Director He was surprised: "Hey, what's going on?" Does this unfortunate child eat a coin every day? ”
"Is this parent really, a large group of people in charge of a child, and let him eat another coin?"
"Baotou doesn't have the custom of eating coins, right?"
The doctors were all talking about it, but they weren't very nervous, and the children ate their own coins, so it had nothing to do with the doctors, right?
Cao Biao, the director of the children's hospital, hurried over as the leader of the medical unit, and after knowing the child's current condition, he was stunned and began to complain to his subordinates:
"I mean, what's going on with you guys? It's all old experts, how did you diagnose one coin when it was clear that there were two coins? Isn't this a slap in the face of our country, a slap in the face of our Chinese medical circle? How can this be explained to the family? ”
Dean Cao didn't understand the situation, and it was normal to complain a few words.
Coincidentally, Chief Abdullah had a female secretary who happened to pass by, and this female secretary happened to understand Chinese, so she listened to this sentence correctly.
So he immediately covered his mouth in horror and quickly reported to his master.
Director He was the first doctor last night, and he was very wronged by the dean's accusation, so he quickly took out last night's X-ray and said excitedly:
"Hooray, this is last night's film, let's see, is there only one coin on it? Dean Cao, you are responsible for what you say, and my small arms and legs can't afford this kind of diplomatic matter. ”
Dean Cao pulled over the film and studied it with a group of experts behind him.
Comparing the two films, these leading experts are also strange:
"That's right, I really wronged Lao He, there was really only one coin last night......"
On the other side, the female secretary hurried to the ward and whispered a few words in the ear of the chief and his wife.
As expected, this kind of "misdiagnosis" is not to mention the chief of a noble dog family, even ordinary parents can't accept it for a while.
But the quality of the couple is good, and they didn't make a big noise, but lowered their heads and discussed:
"Your Majesty, I don't think the medical level in Huaguo is good, while my son has nothing big now, why don't we go back to China first, or go to the United States to have a look."
Chief Abdullah hugged his son, and his heart broke when he looked at his crying son in his arms, and although he wanted to run away now, he had more questions to think about.
If he just came to visit and hurriedly went to other countries to see a doctor because of his son's illness, this is quite unfriendly behavior, it is clearly not to give face to the owner, what good impression can he leave on others?
Then even if he came for nothing, he still offended people.
So even if he was anxious, he decided to endure it, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"My dear, we can't just walk away like this, or we'll cause a dispute. Even if Dr. Hua Guo has misdiagnosed, but two coins I want to ...... I don't think it's a big deal. ”
When the chief's wife heard this, tears fell and fell but she was helpless.
She knew that although her family was very rich, the country was too small, the geographical location was very embarrassing, and there were jackals, tigers and leopards all around, and she had no right to speak, so even if she was wronged, she could only endure it.
Yes, the young chieftain's wife thought she had been wronged and unjustly treated:
"But my dear, I don't think the doctors in West Lake City are good, should they send better doctors to take a look at the disease?"
"Yes, that's it, I'll negotiate right away."
After receiving the "complaint", the relevant departments immediately assigned the Huhai Children's Hospital next door to send the strongest medical team to Haidong as quickly as possible.
This incident made Director Fan T, who arrived later, and President Li of Haidong Medical University feel extremely aggrieved.
A small coin, the Provincial Children's Hospital can't handle it?
Actually lost the trust of foreign guests?
Do you still need support from the province and city next door?
Isn't this going to make the people of the whole country laugh off their big teeth?
The health system of Haidong Province suddenly lost the prestige brought by Chen Qilan Lijuan, which was intolerable to the leaders in charge of the health system.
After knowing about this, a phone call was made to Leader Xu and severely criticized.
Leader Xu was angry, and scolded Fan T Chang and Principal Li for being bloody.
Then, when Fan T Chang and Principal Li returned, they scolded President Cao of the Children's Hospital to the point of blood.
Dean Cao felt that his lungs were about to explode, and scolded Dr. Xu, Dr. He, Dr. Wang, and Dr. Liu in the treatment team.
Several doctors were so angry that they jumped to their feet, and they clearly knew why they had not been "misdiagnosed" and why they were wronged by this day, so they scolded the telephone pole in the hospital again.
In short, on this day, the Haidong health system felt like the sky had fallen.
After the experts from Huhai City rushed to the Haidong Provincial Children's Hospital, they immediately retrieved all the medical records and examination reports, and determined that it belonged to the gastrointestinal foreign body, so they were also relieved.
Professor Yang, vice president of Huhai Children's Hospital, who led the team, had the same idea as everyone else, it was just a coin, just pull it out, these foreigners made a fuss.
Then, in order to leave an authoritative impression on the foreign guests, the Huhai experts also brought a set of imported children's gastroscopes.
When it comes to gastroscopy, the eyes of Fan T Chang and President Li light up, because there is an ancestor in the endoscopy industry in Haidong Province, who is also Chen Qi, the vice president of WEO.
If Chen Qi is allowed to come out and use a gastroscope to remove the foreign body, won't it be able to save a game for the health system of Haidong Province?
"Hi, Lao Yang, you wait, we will do the gastroscopy ourselves, Chen Qi is a professor of our Haidong Medical University, he is also a director of WGO, vice president of the WEO Endoscopy Society, he can do this with his eyes closed."
Professor Yang was not happy when he heard this:
"Lao Li, you don't come, now it's our Shanghai experts who take over, besides, isn't it just a gastroscope to take a foreign body, we are also experts in this, why do you want to give this credit to your Haidong Province?"
Seeing the complacent experts from outside the province, Principal Li's nose was crooked, but he was helpless, who told his subordinate provincial children's hospital not to do anything, and he was looked down upon by experts outside the province.
I had to scold Dean Cao and remove him from his post when I turned around!
Just when everyone thought that things would be solved so easily, the unexpected still appeared.
The gastroscope poked like this, and then the doctors were horrified to find that the esophagus was not a coin at all, but a button battery, similar in size and shape to a coin.
And the situation is not optimistic, it is estimated that the quality of the battery in the eighties is not up to par, it is estimated that the electrolyte inside leaked out, and the tissues around the esophagus where the battery is located have begun to swell and erode, sticking together.
It is very difficult to take the battery out directly.
This sudden situation made Abdullah and his wife extremely nervous, and after consulting the doctor next to him about the dangers of the battery, the young couple almost cried.
Even Chief Fan and Principal Li, who were complaining just now like Sister-in-law Xianglin, didn't dare to say anything.
Batteries are generally composed of an anode (positive electrode), a cathode (negative electrode) and an electrolyte, etc., while the human gastrointestinal tract is filled with mucous membranes.
When the button battery is swallowed into the stomach and comes into contact with the mucous membrane of the digestive system, the battery and the mucous membrane form a conduction circuit, and the battery will begin to discharge automatically, and exude a highly corrosive liquid that burns the digestive tract.
Studies have shown that the average battery leaks after being swallowed for 2 hours.
Especially in children, due to the narrowness of the esophagus, it is difficult to remove it after swallowing, and once it is not removed in time, it will break and cause a large amount of chemical leakage, and the child will face the problem of perforation of the esophagus.
Once the esophagus is perforated, it can lead to a tracheoesophageal fistula and even cause fatal bleeding.
In addition, once the battery ruptures, a certain amount of metal ions is released.
For example, alkaline batteries and mercury batteries will be coated with a small amount of mercury on the zinc electrode to avoid chemical reaction between zinc and the components in the electrolyte, and the mercury content will be very high.
These metal ions will stimulate the human body and enter the liver or brain with blood circulation, thus causing great damage to the brain, nerves, and vision, and will seriously endanger hematopoiesis, liver and kidney function.
Therefore, the condition of the children of Jin Zhi Yuye is really critical.
Not to mention that the doctors of Haidong Provincial Children's Hospital were confused, even the experts in Shanghai were confused, and they didn't know what to do.
Principal Li reacted quickly, there is a magical Chen Qi, what if he has a way?
At that time, the experts in Shanghai and Haihai couldn't handle it, but the doctors in Haidong Province did it, and the previous bad influences could be eliminated and the work was overcome.
"Mr. Chief, I suggest that we have a well-known doctor in our country take a look, and perhaps he has a way."
Professor Yang was a little strange: "Who?" Is there such a great god in Haidong Province? ”
"Chen Qi, Doctor Chen Qi, you always know, right?"
When it comes to Chen Qi, the Huhai experts don't refute it, it's really that this young master's record is too brilliant, and he can almost be on an equal footing with the Huhai legend Professor Wu Mengchao.
As a result, when the chief's wife heard that her son had swallowed the battery, it may have leaked, and she suddenly became angry.
"Mr. Chief, your son is already in danger, what are you waiting for? If you don't take your son abroad for treatment, I'll take him! ”
Chief Abdullah also sighed, dissatisfied to the extreme.
With such a serious condition, why didn't it get checked out last night? As a result, the timing was delayed, resulting in a suspected leak of the battery.
Chief Abdullah was educated in Europe and the United States, learned physics, and knew the danger of battery leakage, so he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Let's go to the nearest one, and we'll be right away."
The staff of Baotou immediately took urgent action, applied for routes and entry, and prepared to go to Yuben for medical treatment.
Haidong is also difficult to stop, feeling that he is "at a loss", who let Haidong Provincial Children's Hospital "misdiagnose".
Only Principal Li kept muttering:
"Really, Dr. Chen Qi Chen must have a way, you give us a chance, let's let Dr. Chen take a look."
But no one paid attention to this poor Xianglin sister-in-law, oh no, it was a little old man.
Three hours later, the special plane took off directly from Xihu City and rushed to Yuben.
The big dog family left, but left a lot of chicken feathers, I don't know how many people are going to be unlucky.
Chen Qi didn't know anything at this time, and was still worried about the lack of money in his building.
