Chapter 629: Extensive and Severe Burns
Today is Chen Qi's time to go to the countryside for free clinics once a month.
In the compound of Huangtan Health Center, there was already a long queue at this time, and the doctor's office was even more crowded, and it was difficult to even turn around.
Chen Qi was sitting at his desk in a white coat at this time, looking at the X-ray, and said:
"Fellow, it's not a big problem, you are acute fasciitis, the pain must be painful, I'll give you a closed injection in a while, it won't hurt anymore, and you can use a hot towel to warm it up after you go back, which can promote the inflammation to subside."
The patient sitting on the side listened and nodded repeatedly:
"Thank you Dean Chen, thank you Dean Chen, you are really a good person, you don't take any money for this, this is a little bit of my old man's heart, you must not refuse."
Chen Qi looked at it and was speechless for a while, because there were two air-dried chickens again.
Anyway, the people of Huangtan recognized that Chen Qi likes to eat sauce duck bacon or something, and every time Chen Qi goes to the countryside for free clinics, he can receive a trunk of souvenirs every time.
This is the heart of the villagers in the mountains, even if Chen Qi really doesn't like to eat much, he will not refuse:
"Okay, uncle, I like this air-dried chicken very much, in this way, the money you will pay for injections and medicine will be counted on my head in a while."
"No, no, Dean Chen, you don't charge a registration fee for seeing a doctor, how can you pay for the medicine."
"Uncle, there's no way, I'm a leading cadre, we can't take a stitch from the masses, so I accepted your air-dried chicken, and you don't have to be polite to me for the medicine, otherwise I won't accept it in the future!"
The old man in the mountains rubbed his hands at this time: "Then thank you so much Dean Chen, hehehe." ”
After the old man stood up and left, Chen Qi casually handed over the two air-dried chickens to the little nurse Yang Xiuxiu behind him, and Yang Xiuxiu quickly wrapped them in a plastic bag and put them in the next room.
"Next!"
As soon as Chen Qi finished shouting, he smelled a peculiar smell, which was the smell of not taking a bath for many years, after all, not everyone in the mountains paid attention to hygiene, and everyone was used to it.
Chen Qi just pretended not to smell anything, and looked at the old lady in front of him kindly.
"Old lady, where are you uncomfortable?"
This is a thin old lady with a rickety body, no more than 150 years tall, gray hair floating, a cane made of a tree branch in her hand, and her clothes are also tattered.
The wrinkles on her face were like tree bark, not only her face, but also her hands were full of scratches.
"Dean Chen, it's not me who sees a doctor, I want to ask, can you help my daughter and granddaughter see a doctor?"
Facing an old man who was almost pleading, Chen Qi suppressed the curiosity in his heart and nodded again and again:
"What happened to your daughter and your granddaughter? As long as I can help, I will help, by the way, what about them? ”
As she spoke, the old lady burst into tears:
"They can't get out at home, we are poor, there is no way to send them to the hospital, but they are going to die if they don't get medical treatment, my poor daughter, and my poor granddaughter, she is only 6 years old and died of pain, I also die of heartache~~~"
Old man, when he talks about something sad, he can't cry, and he can't speak clearly.
Just when Chen Qi was at a loss, a patient next to him took the initiative to say:
"Dean Chen, I know this old woman, she is from Dingjiawu Village, it seems that his son-in-law Han Lao Wu is a good gambler, and then owes a lot of debts outside, and the creditor comes to the door to pick up the house, and her animal son-in-law who is not a human burns his own house, and he wants to burn his wife and children to death."
Someone next to me didn't understand:
"It's okay to burn the house, why do you want to burn your wife and children? If you want to burn it, you will burn the creditor. ”
"yes, yes, this man has something wrong with his brain?"
The informed villager slapped his thigh:
"Hey, don't you know, that Han Lao Wu really has a problem with his brain, he said that the creditor occupied his house, and he would definitely arrest his wife and daughter to pay off the debt, rather than his wife and daughter being ruined, it is better to die."
At this time, a woman could not listen anymore, and asked in a loud voice:
"This brute little girl, why didn't he burn it himself? Why do you want to hurt your wife and children? ”
The villagers who knew about it also looked disdainful: "So, people who gamble in the West have long been inhumane, and marrying into such a family is a sin~~~"
Yang Xiuxiu and Chen Li stood aside, and they were also angry when they heard this story:
"It's too much, there are such shameless people in the world, and the police don't care?"
The old woman, who was weeping at this time, also cried out:
"The police took my son-in-law away, but the house was burned clean, and my daughter and granddaughter's medical expenses were gone, and the poor brothers had already spent a little money together, and now my daughter and granddaughter are so painful that they can't cry every day, and they are going to die, they are going to die."
Chen Qi was also angry when he heard this, but as a doctor, he still had to ask clearly, especially for burn patients.
"Old lady, don't cry yet, let me ask, where are the burns of your daughter and granddaughter?"
If it's local, it's easy to do, but if it's a whole body burn, Chen Qi has to scratch his head.
"They, the two of them have been burned to the point that they don't look like human beings, here, here, and here, the skin has been burned."
When the onlookers heard this, they were all sighing with regret, but Chen Qi was cold in his heart when he heard it, because the old lady's description was that there were burns on the torso, limbs, and even the head and neck.
Although it is impossible to tell how many degrees of burns it is, this area alone is terrifying to death.
"And how many days has it been since your daughter was burned?"
The old lady thought for a while: "It's been a month, and I've been burned for a month, and it happened on the birthday of Grandpa Wuwang Bodhisattva last month." ”
"A month?"
Chen Qi was a little stunned, a patient with extensive burns, on the premise of not being sent to the hospital, has not died for a month? Is this a miracle or is the old lady lying?
The surrounding crowd didn't think about it so much, and they were gossiping one by one, even with the poor old man's daughter and granddaughter.
At this time, Yan Quanxin squeezed in from outside the door and asked strangely:
"Chen Qi, why don't you continue to call the number, what happened?"
"Uncle Yan, you came just in time, do you know that there was a fire in Dingjiawu Village last month, which burned two people?"
Yan Quanxin is a native of Huangtan, and the locals are familiar with it, so there is nothing he doesn't know about the big and small things that happened in Huangtan Town.
"Dingjiawu Village, I know about this, just that man locked his wife and children in the house and set it on fire, this man has now been locked up in the Yuezhong Detention Center, damn, it's not a person, I have to slap him twice when I see it, and the tiger poison doesn't eat children."
"It's really been a month?" The curiosity in Chen Qi's heart grew stronger and stronger.
At the same time, the Vietnamese People's Hospital had just established a burn surgery department, which needed to train the hands of patients with incurable diseases or critical illnesses, so he made a decision in his heart.
"Old lady, don't worry, after getting off work at noon in a while, we will go to the house with you to see how your daughter and granddaughter's condition are and then make plans, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Dean Chen, you are really a bodhisattva who saves suffering~~~"
The surrounding crowd also praised Dean Chen's righteousness again and again, and then the free clinic in the morning continued......
At noon, Chen Qi didn't have time to eat, so he got on the tractor provided by the town, and took himself Yi Zewen, Zhang Xing, Chen Li, Yang Xiuxiu, as well as Yan Quanxin and Jin Tao, director of Huangtan Health Center, to Dingjiawu Village.
The mountain road was rugged, and it took an hour and a half to arrive.
The tractor stopped in front of a dilapidated house, which still had yellow mud walls, and the eaves were supported by wood, which could collapse at any time, all showing the family's poverty.
"Dean Chen, this is my home, my daughter and granddaughter are in the room."
Chen Qi looked around, the countryside at this time was not transformed by the beautiful countryside of later generations, the current countryside is all in tatters, there is not even a good road, and the soles of his feet are all yellow mud.
Chen Qi looked at the conditions, not to say anything about the people's family, but to assess the surrounding environment.
Burn patients are most afraid of infection, so they often need a sterile ward, which is definitely not a good thing if the surrounding environment is dirty and messy.
The old lady had already opened the door, and Chen Qi bowed his head and was the first to enter the house.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Qi smelled a foul smell, a peculiar smell that was almost like the smell of corpses, mixed with a stream of Chinese herbs.
The first time Chen Qi smelled this smell was not nausea, but choked, because the smell meant that the patient had a bacterial infection.
The stronger the foul odor, the deeper the infection.
As mentioned earlier, one of the important causes of death in burn patients is sepsis caused by infection.
Chen Qi didn't say anything, and then Yang Xiuxiu also jumped into the house, suddenly she was stunned, and then quickly picked up Yi Zewen behind her and ran outside the house.
Vomit ~~~ vomit ~~~
Yi Zewen was a little strange at first, why did this little nurse suddenly react so much, could it be that she was pregnant out of wedlock? As a result, when he walked into the house, he knew why people had vomited.
Because he himself has a strong feeling of nausea and wants to throw up.
But he is already the director of the department, Yi Zewen still endures it, and the surgeon has an advantage in this point, because many intestinal surgeries often encounter foul odor incidents as soon as the abdominal cavity is opened.
As for Chen Qi, people are used to smelling corpses, not to mention the smell of living people.
When the old lady saw the violent reactions of several doctors, her heart was gloomy, and she forced a smile on her face:
"Dean Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you, see if my daughter and my granddaughter can still be treated?"
Chen Qi nodded, made up his mind to pull up a layer of curtains, the first thing he saw was a mosquito net, the old lady still has basic hygiene knowledge, there is no mosquito net, it is estimated that people will be covered with maggots.
When I opened the mosquito net, I saw two people, one big and one small, who were on the sick, and as far as the eye could see, the patient's body was all black.
Rao is Chen Qi has already had psychological construction, and he was shocked when he saw this scene.
The two patients, one large and one young, were all black and looked like they were all blood scabs, which was a sign of third-degree burns.
It's black from head to toe, which is a typical sign of severe burns, how can this be saved? It is a miracle that the patient can live for a month.
Seeing that Chen Qi was in a daze, Yan Quanxin squeezed in from behind, and when he looked at the two patients on the bed, his eyes almost fell:
"Ahhh......hh What are you wiping? ”
"Huh, wiping something?"
Chen Qi's eyes were a little short-sighted, and the lighting in the room was not very good, so he didn't see it too well when he stood by the bed.
When the old lady heard the inquiry, she quickly wiped her tears and introduced:
"There's no way, Dean Chen, we don't have the money to send them to the hospital, so we can only use the soil method, that is, add some herbs to the bottom of the pot, and then put some tung oil mixed together and rub it on my body, my own own daughter, my most heartfelt granddaughter, I can't watch them die, woo woo~~~~"
Chen Qi grasped the key words: pot bottom ash + tung oil + Chinese herbal medicine.
Since the mother and daughter were hugged at the time of the fire, especially the little girl's head was tightly held in her arms, the main burn wounds were on the back and limbs.
Of course, when the mother is serious, there are some injuries and burns on the head and face, while the little girl's head and face are still relatively intact.
Chen Qi ignored the smell and took a closer look at the wound, in fact, the wound at this time was no longer visible, because layer after layer of pot bottom ash and Chinese herbs were dressed, just like a layer of flour wrapped in fried chicken legs.
At this time, Yi Zewen and Zhang Xing, who were forcibly enduring the stench, also exclaimed after seeing the patient:
"Dean Chen, it doesn't look good, this, how can this burn patient use pot ash and herbs, doesn't this increase the risk of bacterial infection, alas, this is another folk home remedies to harm people."
Chen Qi moved his mouth, according to the knowledge and clinical experience he had learned, such a method of plastering the whole body was indeed incorrect, but he felt that something was wrong.
Because the patient did not die for a month under the premise that the burn area was so huge and severe, there was still a lack of medical treatment, and the environment was still dirty and messy, there must be unknown reasons for this.
If a person dies and a person lives, it may also be that the living person is alive and tenacious.
But the fact that both the older and the younger survived has to be said to be a medical miracle and is worth studying.
The old lady saw that several doctors had studied for a long time, and then she pleaded weakly:
"Doctor, Dean Chen, please save them, they are miserable~~~"
Ding Xinjuan on the bed heard the voice, tears began to flow, and she whispered in a hoarse voice:
"Mother, I'm gone, let me die."
At this time, the little girl on the bed, Song Yanzi, moaned softly and painfully:
"Grandma, I ...... hurt"
Hearing the little girl's cry, and seeing that the poor child's whole body was smeared black and emitted a stench, Chen Qi's heart was about to melt, and he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, my uncle is a doctor, and he is here to treat you."
The little girl has no scheming, unlike her mother, who is bent on death, so she pleads:
"Uncle, can you stop your mother and Nannan from being so painful? Nan Nan is very well-behaved, no longer wants new clothes, no longer wants to eat sugar, and will definitely be obedient in the future. ”
Chen Qi was so distressed that tears were about to fall: "Don't worry, uncle, I will do my best to save you!" ”
However, it is not easy to save such a large-scale severe burn patient.
