Just as the family members rolled up their sleeves and prepared to teach the young doctor a lesson, they heard an old man behind them shout:
"Stop it!"
Everyone stopped and looked at the old man in silence, only to see the old man snort softly:
"Third brother's wife, is this the time to make a scene? How can the doctors save Third Brother if you and your brothers keep fighting like this? He's your husband, your brother-in-law, and you're just going to watch him die?"
Chen Xia's provocation was successful. At this time, having a strong person supporting the continuation of treatment was far better than having someone obstructing the treatment.
If the fighting continues like this, the patient will definitely die. There is no bedside monitor now. Just based on a few blood tests and minor biochemical tests, it can be seen that if the patient wants to survive, he must overcome the infection.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Xia quickly said seriously:
"Dr. Chen Zhenwu had good intentions. If he had listened to a certain doctor's advice and given the patient intravenous fluids instead of surgery, you would have known that with the current level of treatment, the patient's mortality rate would have been as high as 90%, a near-fatal escape.
What's the most important principle in treating this disease? It's about unblocking the blocked bile duct. Let me give you an analogy: it's like a blocked river. How can it be cured without unblocking it? But unblocking it can only be done through surgery; conservative treatments are completely ineffective. Do you understand?
The patient's wife calmed down. After all, she was an educated person. She thought that what he said made sense. But her brother behind her was not willing to give in.
"You say it lightly, but now my brother-in-law is like this, what do you say we should do?"
"What should I do? Of course I have to continue with the treatment. Now that the bile duct has been cleared and the drainage tube has been placed, the fundamental problem has been solved. The next step is to reduce inflammation.
This patient's condition is different from common cholecystitis. The tube was previously blocked, causing suppuration inside. A large number of bacteria entered the bloodstream and spread everywhere, so the infection is systemic. It's not the surgery that caused the infection, as you might think. You must understand this."
After hearing Chen Xia's explanation, the old man nodded:
"I understand what this young doctor is saying, but I just want to know: how is my son's inflammation treated? He's been on this saline drip every day, and his condition is getting worse. As a doctor, you should understand how our family feels, right?"
Chen Xia nodded, thinking that this old man should be a senior cadre at some level, which made sense:
"You're right, old man. That's why Dr. Chen invited me here because I have access to the most advanced antibiotics from abroad. As soon as I got the call, I drove here like crazy. Do you think Dr. Chen is doing everything he can for his patients?"
The old man stood up immediately upon hearing this. "Young comrade, do you really have a way to get imported anti-inflammatory drugs? Then my son can be saved, right?"
"Old man, I can't guarantee anything medically. I can only say that after surgery, there's a 50% chance of survival. With the imported medicine I brought, that chance increases to 80%. I can't guarantee the remaining 20%, so I hope you can understand."
"Eighty percent, eighty percent. Doctor Xia told us last time that even with surgery, the patient would definitely not be saved. He also said that surgery was unnecessary. Alas, we believed him at the time..."
Chen Zhenwu and Chen Xia got angry when they heard this. It was like a war, where comrades were fighting hard on the front line, but someone stabbed them in the back. This behavior was too despicable and shameless.
Director Hu was also quite embarrassed, and a little annoyed at Xia Hansheng's character and for exposing the conflict to outsiders.
However, he had no doubts about the ability of Section Chief Chen from Yuezhou Fourth Hospital. To be able to become a middle-level cadre at such a young age, he either had someone behind him or he had some outstanding qualities.
As the head of the department, he had to speak at this time: "Chief Chen, did you bring the medicine?"
Chen Xia pointed to the jeep on the roadside downstairs and said, "I brought it. The medicine is all in the car."
The patient's family and doctors all looked over and saw a bus No. 212 parked on the side of the road.
At this time, the old man also believed what Chen Xia said. Nowadays, those who can afford to drive a car are not ordinary people. It also represents a certain level. It is better not to offend them easily if you can.
So he said, "Young comrade, feel free to use the medicine. We will pay for any cost. We will definitely not put you in any difficult position."
Chen Xia smiled. "Old man, just for what you said, I will definitely give you the cost price."
How could he not be happy? He had originally planned to give it away for free, but now he could make a profit. At least the gas money was worth it.
As a typical representative of "money-hungry people", even if he earns 10 yuan, he can buy several kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy.
Back in the office, everyone discussed the treatment plan. Judging from the current situation, as long as the infection can be controlled, then a second operation can be performed, and the patient's chances of survival will be very high.
Therefore, the key is how to fight infection and the selection of antibiotics.
Chen Xia explained to them, "Director Hu, big brother, acute suppurative infection of the bile duct is often a multi-species infection, mostly mixed sepsis caused by highly virulent anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. So this time I preferred two drugs, ceftriaxone and levofloxacin combined."
"Ceftriaxone? Levofloxacin?"
Director Hu and Chen Zhenwu looked at each other in bewilderment. They felt exactly the same as Ren Yuanfei did back then. They both thought they were out of date, otherwise how could they have never even heard of this medicine?
"Yes, the combination of the two injections is effective, but you need to make sure you have fluids at the same time, because levofloxacin injections can cause crystalluria. Also, some cephalosporins can cause allergies, just like penicillin, so I need to do a skin test before using it for the first time."
Chen Zhenwu was delighted. "Great, Xiaoxia, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, who knows what would have happened to this family."
"Brother, why are you being so polite to me? We should hurry up and prepare for treatment. The patient won't be able to survive this way for long. Also, arrange a blood test and minor biochemistry test every day. Pay close attention to any changes in the patient's condition and adjust the medication at any time. I won't be going back for the next few days."
Seeing Chen Xia speak so calmly, everyone rekindled their hope and felt that this time they would definitely succeed.
When Chen Xia was administering intravenous fluids herself at the nurses' station, there was a young nurse helping her. She was wearing a mask and Chen Xia didn't recognize her at first, but she felt that she looked familiar. Later, the more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. After a closer look, she realized that it was Zhang Xinshu's mother.
In her previous life, this old lady used to love calling her son-in-law "son-in-law." But at this time, she was still a young girl.
At this time, the girl blinked her eyes and looked at Chen Xia lovingly, which made Chen Xia feel a chill.
Although his surname is also Chen, he would not do such a strange thing as a mother and daughter serving the same husband, and Zhang Xinshu is not a fairy.
Amitabha, curing the disease is the important thing, everything else is illusion.
