The feeling of gastroscopy varies from person to person, and the same is true for colonoscopy.

During the colonoscopy, the doctor needs to keep inflating the intestines, and the intestines will bulge!

Some patients will feel - to the cloud~, but some patients will feel particularly uncomfortable!

Moreover, the intestinal tract of some patients is relatively lengthy and crooked, similar to the bougainvillea, and some patients who have undergone surgery still have intestinal adhesions, so when passing through the more curved segments, the operating doctor needs to stretch the endoscope, which will cause abdominal pain.

Therefore, some people do gastrointestinal endoscopy for enjoyment, and some people suffer from sin. Then, painless general anesthesia for gastrointestinal endoscopy came into being!

……

As the gastroscope deepened, Zhou Qiao slowly explored, and suddenly, an abnormally small image flashed on the computer screen, and was captured by him with sharp eyes!

Go back and focus on it!

Upon closer inspection, it was finally discovered that there was a small bulge in the mucous membrane of Murphy's grandfather's antrum.

Although it is small, it still hasn't escaped Zhou Qiao's eyes!

Zhou Qiao was taken aback, and Murphy's iceberg-like expression trembled suddenly, and his pupils shrank!

Abnormal!

Such a bulge on the gastric mucosa is absolutely abnormal!

"Let's do pathology, then do a serum marker, and then do an MRI." Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment and said.

"Well, listen to you." Murphy nodded, her expression even colder, and she had a bad premonition.

MRI, which can identify lymph node invasion and distant metastasis, plays a pivotal role in determining the depth of tumor invasion and formulating treatment plans.

……

Finally did a gastrointestinal endoscopy, of course, it can't just end like this, Zhou Qiao continued to explore carefully, and did a colonoscopy after the gastroscopy, what if there are lesions in other places?

This, no joke.

Gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, intestinal cancer and other digestive system tumors have a high incidence and mortality rate, and there are no special symptoms in the early stage, which is not easy to be detected!

If you want to detect it early, you can only do it through gastrointestinal endoscopy!

Other methods, such as CT, magnetic resonance, etc., cannot be replaced.

The earlier it is detected, the higher the 5-year survival rate and the better the prognosis.

There are some patients who are very resistant to gastrointestinal endoscopy, because it is difficult to accept ordinary ones, and they are afraid that general anesthesia will affect their intelligence!

In fact, a single short period (0.5-4 hours) of general anesthesia does not increase the risk of neurological pathology.

Moreover, the painless gastrointestinal endoscopy is used in short-acting anesthetic drugs, which are quickly metabolized and awakened quickly, and there is no need to worry about this.

Except, of course, infants and toddlers.

Studies have shown that infants and young children under the age of 3 are in the stage of nervous system development, and when they receive anesthesia for more than 3 hours or repeated anesthesia, it may cause potential harm to the nervous system, and in other cases, the damage to the nervous system caused by anesthesia can be negligible.

Zhou Qiao was probing and teaching the students, and to their relief, except for the small area that they had just discovered, there was no abnormality in the rest of the parts.

That's it! The inspection is over!

About 3 minutes later, Murphy's grandfather woke up, looking confused.

Who am I? Where am I?

It feels like I'm stupid!

Actually, this is just waking up, and he hasn't come back to his senses yet, and it's not that he has become really stupid due to general anesthesia.

Soon, just a dozen seconds, Murphy's grandfather remembered, with a sudden look!

"So I was doing a check-up!"

"I'm so dizzy, I still want to sleep...... Murphy, is Grandpa okay? ”

Despite Murphy's hat and mask, Murphy's grandfather recognized his precious granddaughter at a glance.

"You're okay, we've found the lesion, but don't worry, because it's detected early, it shouldn't be a big problem." Murphy comforted his grandfather.

Then, her grandfather wanted to get up and get out of bed!

Murphy hurriedly stopped: "You lie down, don't get up." Say it slowly. ”

When you get out of bed at this time, you still have to fall down?

However, Murphy's grandfather did not cooperate and had to struggle to get up, so Murphy had to say, "I'll help you up, and sit still for a minute or two." ”

At Murphy's strong request, with a straight face and glaring at him, Murphy's grandfather sat down honestly.

After resting for a while, Murphy helped his grandfather to change his clothes, because he was afraid that he had just woken up from anesthesia and would not be good if he fell and injured himself.

The old man couldn't fall.

Back at the Iris Clinic, Murphy's grandfather was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but Murphy did not advise him to eat immediately, or even let him drink water.

"Grandpa, you have to be patient a little longer, wait for 2 hours, and then drink a few sips of mineral water in moderation. If you don't feel nauseous and vomiting after drinking water, I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay? ”

To put it mildly, Murphy's grandfather agreed.

Of course, the delicious food should not be greasy or indigestible food, but should be light and liquid. And don't eat too much.

After observing for about half an hour, Murphy's grandfather did not have anything abnormal, and Murphy took his grandparents home.

Although it was not time to get off work, but his grandfather was sick, Zhou Qiao was naturally humane and accommodating.

Murphy got her driver's license three years ago, at the age of 16, and her grandfather's classic car looked shabby, but the driving experience was actually quite good.

While in the car, Murphy's grandmother couldn't help but call her daughter who was far away in Los Angeles.

Murphy's mom was also quite worried, and asked her grandmother to turn on hands-free, and she wanted to talk to Murphy.

"Murphy, tell mom the truth, is your grandfather's condition okay?"

Murphy thought for a moment and said, "The results of the examination have not come out yet, and I will tell you when I get the report?" ”

Mother Murphy was silent for a moment and said, "Good! ”

After hanging up the phone, I hurriedly went to the vice president to ask for leave.

Because, she knows Murphy very well.

Murphy has suffered from autism since she was a child, and many times, even her mother is ignored, but she didn't expect that this time she talked to her in a comforting tone for the first time, and she scared Murphy's mother on the spot!

Murphy's mother knew immediately that her father's illness was not a minor one!

She was a little glad that Murphy had gone to San Francisco.

"Although Murphy has a withdrawn personality, he is definitely a genius in medicine, and he got a doctorate in medicine at the age of 19.

Murphy's mother comforted herself along the way, scratching like a cat in her heart, like playing a drum!

……

Soon, when she arrived at the leader's office, Murphy's mother walked in nervously, because she had been very busy with work recently, and she didn't know if the leader would approve the leave.

Although the name of this leader is vice president (VP), the actual authority is only the head of the department. Within the company, there are dozens of others with the same title.

No way, American companies, no matter how big or small, VP flooding, quite normal. Theoretically, there can be an infinite number of them, and many companies even crown old employees with high hard work as VPs.

After translating to "vice president", there is a beautiful illusion of "under one person, above ten thousand".

Before the proliferation of VP titles, it was the C- titles that were all the rage. That is, various chiefs, CEOs, CFOs, CBOs, CDOs...... Twenty or thirty kinds, the force is very high.
