"Dear Dr. Stephanie, I've been really distressed lately."

In Stephanie's counseling room, a middle-aged woman vents her bitterness at Stephanie.

"Don't worry, dear Isabe, if you have any troubles, you can confide in me, and I will give you the best advice." Stephanie reassured.

The lady named Isabel began to tell.

It turned out that she had two children at home, the eldest was 10 years old and the second was 5 years old, both boys, but the two brothers couldn't even get along in one space, otherwise, they would have to "fight three hundred rounds".

No, last night, in the living room, another "grandiose" "family war" was staged.

Erbao was cheap, and he had to move his brother's aircraft carrier model that he hadn't played for several years, but he fell apart.

The elder brother was very annoyed when he was writing his homework on the side, and he immediately aroused his anger and jumped up to beat his younger brother.

The younger brother was not convinced, and the brothers hit the floor from the sofa, then to the bed, and then to the backyard.

Fortunately, the guns at home are well hidden, and if they are locked, they all copy each other and start shooting!

"Dr. Stephanie, what do you think they think? Isn't it a brother? Why do you have to fight if you don't agree with each other, and it's quite heavy! Last night, my brother was beaten and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. Isabeth looked confused.

Stephanie didn't have to sort out her thoughts, she opened her mouth to answer her doubts. This is because this kind of problem is all too common in the psychological counseling department. Stephanie usually analyzes and ponders, so she can immediately give a detailed explanation and the best way to deal with it.

"I think that as a mother, you should get out of the three misunderstandings and take different responses at three different stages."

"Which three?" Isabeth listened attentively.

Stephanie: "Myth 1, the eldest is also a child, he is not ignorant, but has a long-term accumulation of emotions, and this emotion is closely related to the family atmosphere and the attitude of parents. ”

"With the arrival of the younger brother, when the eldest plays the role of the elder brother, there will be pride, the joy of being admired by the younger siblings, and the impact from family relationships and emotional changes."

"When the younger brother is born, the mother cannot accompany the elder brother for as long as before, and from then on, the elder brother is no longer the mother's only baby; The conversation of parents and friends has shifted to newborns; When the younger brother grows up, he will fight with him for things and invade his territory. When there is a conflict with his younger brother, his parents will even ask him to tolerate and compromise......"

Isabeth thought about it carefully, and she couldn't help but nod her head again and again.

Stephanie laughed: "In this case, in addition to bad emotions and behaviors, my brother may also have behavioral regressions, such as difficulty falling asleep and separating, refusing to eat and other behaviors. ”

"Very well spoken." Isabel had an approving look on her face.

Stephanie: "This psychology can be analysed using developmental psychologist Brazelton's 'touchpoint' theory. The contact theory points out that in the process of development, children will undergo behavioral regression, in order to accumulate energy to prepare for the next stage of development, some specific processes, and sibling disputes are also one of the contact points......"

An hour later, Isabe, the mother of two, left Stephanie's office with a smile on her face.

When she left, she said: "It's so incisive. In the future, I will come here for a consultation, thank you very much, dear Dr. Stephanie. ”

She felt that Stephanie was so powerful, unmarried and without children, but she knew so well about the psychology and behavior of children.

In other clinics, doctors are busy.

Rachel and Vivica hadn't even taken a sip of water in the morning.

On the other hand, at the community hospital surgery center, Zhou Qiaozheng and Murphy were performing a transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation operation on a 14-year-old boy.

The boy's name is Tim, who has been suffering from the congenital heart disease tetralogy of Fallot since he was a child, and at the age of seven he had tetralogy of Fallot corrected at a hospital owned by Kaiser Healthcare.

After the operation, Tim returned to normal life, not even a cold and fever and other minor problems, his height was inherited from his parents, and he grew on the ground "rubbing", and he is not yet 14 years old, he is already 178 cm, which is completely invisible, and he is still a minor.

In the future, it is estimated that there is a possibility of growth, and it is not difficult to exceed 185 centimeters.

However, the child's parents have always been worried, because, despite Tim's growth, the congenital disease has not been cured before.

At that time, the doctor said that when you grow up, new problems will arise. But don't panic, you can manage it for at least ten years.

No, it's been more than ten years.

Three days ago, while playing rugby, Tim suddenly fell headlong on the field, and although he was later rescued by the doctor from the school infirmary, Tim's parents were deeply disturbed by the fact that it could be an old illness.

After discussing it, the couple decided to take him to the iris clinic for treatment.

After all, the Caesars Medical Group's general strike a while ago was known to the whole United States, but it was actually very "lost fans". There was a lot of customer churn.

And in California, in San Francisco, which cardiac surgery is stronger?

Undoubtedly, is the Iris Clinic.

The Iris Clinic has three genius-level famous doctors, and they are among the top three in the National Heart Surgery Competition, and I don't know how many people respect them.

The Tim family moved to San Francisco six years ago, and they witnessed the rise of the Iris Clinic in a legend that is nothing short of legendary.

After Zhou Qiao and Murphy received the consultation, they arranged a detailed examination for Tim.

Among them, the results of cardiac ultrasound showed that Tim's pulmonary valve had moderate to severe regurgitation, the right atrium and right ventricle were enlarged, and the right ventricular wall was thickened, and he needed to be corrected again.

Fourteen years ago, Tim was only a few months old when he had surgery, and now, more than a decade later, the inner structure and function of the heart have changed dramatically.

At that time, the correction of tetralogy of Fallot did not completely cure the disease, and it was the first stage of surgery, so some patients would have right heart dysfunction caused by this regurgitation.

"You're not going to open your chest again, are you?" Tim's mom and dad were worried. Open heart surgery, it hurts a lot, and they don't want their children to suffer that.

However, if you really want to open your chest, there is no way.

Zhou Qiao comforted them: "No. This time it can be minimally invasive. ”

After all, medicine has advanced a lot compared to a decade ago.

New procedures, consumables, instruments and equipment are emerging all the time.

"Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation surgery, with small trauma and fast recovery, can solve the patient's heart failure, shortness of breath and other problems under minimally invasive treatment, and avoid the huge risk of major thoracotomy surgery again, which is the first choice for long-term recorrection after tetralogy of Fallot's correction surgery."

After some explanation, Tim's parents were immediately relieved, so the operation was arranged.

Zhou Qiao's shot was naturally easy to do.

In less than thirty minutes, the work was finished.

When Zhou Qiao and Murphy came out to inform Tim's parents who were waiting in the rest area, the other party's eyes obviously revealed a huge surprise!

"It's really amazing, it's amazing!" Tim's mother was shocked to see that her son had only a few needle holes left on his body.

Less than a day after surgery, Tim was able to lie on his side in bed and play on his phone.

On the second day after surgery, with the support of my mother, I got out of bed and walked.

On the fourth day after surgery, Tim was discharged from the hospital!

Such a major operation is simply fast.

However, Zhou Qiao was a little unhappy. Because, there are not many pediatricians in China who carry out this operation.

The main reason is that almost all of these consumables are monopolized by the United States, and the pulmonary valve produced in the United States is not suitable for the arterial diameter of the Chinese people.

However, there are no mature listed products for domestic consumables for the time being.

Due to technical barriers to valve manufacturing and other reasons, this technology has not been carried out in China.

Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment, then called Jace Shepard, the CEO of Future Medical under his name, and asked him to form a team to design a pulmonary valve suitable for Chinese.

After learning about the situation, Jess Shepard hesitated slightly, but in the end, he acted in a hurry. Because he knows very well who is his boss and who is the benefactor who gives him the opportunity and promotes him.
