Chapter 4045 [134] Don't forget
The corridors of the hospital are sometimes dark with backlighting.
Dr. Ma took out a medical flashlight from the pocket of his white coat, bent down to use the flashlight to observe the pustules on the patient's calf.
"When was it discovered? Was it in the previous hospital?" Dr. Ma asked about the patient's medical history, remembering that he didn't mention the problem of calf pustule at the beginning when handing over the patient.
The family members directly shook their heads and said they did not know.
Sister Lingling whispered to the doctor's ears the possible situation she had figured out.
After hearing that it was bed sores, Dr. Ma put away the flashlight and said, "Do the tests first, and then finish the important inspections prescribed by the doctor."
Pustule is a small problem. If it does not endanger the life of the patient, it does not need to be dealt with now. You can leave it alone.
This refers to the front-line on-duty system. Generally, the emergency department mainly deals with emergencies. If it can be delayed until the daytime, it is better to wait for the attending doctor who will take over tomorrow.
How to say? The doctors on duty at the front line are young and their skills are not very good. Many young people on duty on the front line are very self-aware about this.
The family member reflected: "But my mother feels her leg hurts now."
"Don't be afraid, she was originally given anti-inflammatory injections." Dr. Ma told the family members in Mandarin.
The anti-inflammatory drugs will eliminate the pustules together, so don't worry.
"Is it useful to take anti-inflammatory drugs?" The family members couldn't understand it all at once, so they asked the doctor again.
"She has appendicitis, and she must be treated with anti-inflammation. Wouldn't it be better if you don't need to spend more money?" Dr. Ma said.
Dr. Xie, Dr. Wen, who was at the side, heard the diagnosis information that the patient was transferred to the second hospital of the National Association for General Surgery before seeing the patient's medical records: it was a patient with appendicitis.
The problem of appendicitis has been mentioned many times in the previous article, and it is a disease that can be big or small.
When it becomes serious, it is a disease that even gods can’t cure. It’s not what laymen take it for granted. They only hear that appendicitis surgery is a primary surgical operation, and it’s just a "minor operation".
For the current patient, because of her poor overall physical condition, the hospital where she was first hospitalized for treatment did not dare to perform surgery on her. After finding out that she had appendicitis, she suggested that she be transferred to a better hospital for surgery.
Unexpectedly, the transfer to the second hospital was also rejected, and finally contacted 120 to transfer to the National Association for medical treatment through emergency patients.
"Should I perform an operation on my mother immediately after the examination?" The family members continued to ask the doctor, since they said that the examination can be performed immediately.
Family members pursue doctors because they are anxious to get their loved ones cured. On the other hand, it is an economic problem. The number of days in hospital is not more than one day, and it costs more money.
Doctors definitely can’t follow the family’s wishes like this, but proceed from a professional perspective. Dr. Ma said: "What are you in a hurry for? If you want to have an operation, you need to complete all the examinations."
"She was checked in the previous hospital."
"Is her hospital as advanced as our hospital's machines? Sometimes the patient's condition develops rapidly and changes rapidly. It's hard to say whether it's getting better or worse. Whether you need surgery or not will be discussed after the examination. This is for your own good. Save money for you, do you understand?" Dr. Ma said earnestly to the family members.
From what I saw just now, Dr. Ma believed that he followed the clinical procedure without any mistakes.
Until Dr. Ma turned around and suddenly met the faces of Dr. Xie Wanying and Dr. Wen Zihan. He forgot, thank you boss for patrolling here.
Dr. Ma's heart was pounding, and he was a little flustered for no reason.
