Chapter 277 Many people cannot communicate, regardless of their academic qualifications
The group waited until they reached the fifth floor of the inpatient department.
At this time, Cui Ying saw Wei Ping appear from afar. She hadn't seen Wei Ping for several days. When she saw him again today, she was actually a little excited.
At the same time, the people around her started saying embarrassing things.
However, when Wei Ping arrived, he did not look at her, but quickly entered the ward.
At this time everyone was shocked. What happened?
Cui Ying felt a little disappointed, but then she comforted herself: "Doctor Wei must be looking for a critically ill patient."
At this time, a colleague next to me said, "The person in that ward seems to be a professor. He was hospitalized some time ago and came in again today."
"What's the reason?"
"He was admitted to the hospital for vomiting blood! We don't know the specific cause of the disease."
"turn out to be……"
If that's the case, then it seems understandable that Wei Ping didn't say hello to Cui Ying. After all, the patient is more important, and every second counts.
When Wei Ping walked into the ward, there was already a resident doctor inside.
"Doctor Wei, you are here."
"Doctor Lin, what's the patient's condition now?"
"The patient, a 48-year-old male university professor, had hepatitis C and cirrhosis. He vomited blood a month ago, and his hemoglobin level was 33. He was admitted to the hospital and stayed there for two days. He was discharged after the bleeding stopped."
"So what's the situation now?"
"Although his hemoglobin was 26, his vital signs were stable: blood pressure 106/70, heart rate 70, he was conscious, and his oxygen saturation was 95. He had no dizziness or discomfort, but he complained of being unable to sit up."
"The anemia is obvious..."
Normally, the hemoglobin level is not high and the tolerance is very good!
When the male patient saw that it was Wei Ping, he was a little excited.
"Doctor Wei, my child loves you so much! You're his idol. Can we take a photo together later?"
This professor seems to have a good attitude and is very talkative.
"What's wrong? Did you suddenly vomit blood?"
Wei Ping asked.
The professor smiled and said, "I did a few push-ups, then vomited a lot of blood. I rested for a while, vomited some more, and then came to the hospital!"
"You've been in once before, why are you doing push-ups?"
The professor smiled but didn't reply.
But Wei Ping knew that he must have something to hide.
At this time, the woman said: "I was praying to Buddha at home. After a few times, I vomited blood. After resting for a while, I prayed again and started vomiting blood again."
Why is he still superstitious? Is he still a professor?
Maybe that's why he said he was doing push-ups.
But Wei Ping did not delve into it further because there was no need to do so. It was their freedom of belief.
"I saw that he had hepatitis C and cirrhosis. Blood flow in the liver was poor, and increased blood resistance caused portal hypertension, varicose veins in the esophagus and stomach, and thinning of the mucosa. Straining to defecate or coughing violently could cause the blood vessels to rupture and bleed spontaneously! Not to mention actions like prostrating."
"I don't know, no one told me!" said the woman.
At this time, Dr. Lin couldn't help it.
"I told you last time that you must avoid strenuous exercise!"
At this time the woman said: "I don't know!"
When encountering this type of patients, there is nothing we can do. Sometimes we communicate well with them, but after they go back, they still forget what the doctor said.
Then the woman continued, "We went home last month to recuperate. We ate vegetarian food, prayed to Buddha, and took Chinese medicine. We managed the condition pretty well! We thought it was nothing serious."
She hit the nail on the head.
"Take Chinese medicine? What kind of Chinese medicine are you taking?"
“Sanqi powder!”
Wei Ping was about to faint.
"I heard from a Chinese doctor that Panax notoginseng powder can clear away heat and toxins, stop bleeding, and reduce swelling, so we thought about taking some Panax notoginseng powder. And surprisingly, it has been very effective in controlling our symptoms for the past month."
Stupid, really stupid.
"You're right, but he has liver failure! He can't take Panax notoginseng powder."
"But it has a hemostatic effect!" the woman said again.
"You only know it can stop bleeding, but you don't know it also has the function of promoting blood circulation. Moreover, all medicines are toxic. Long-term use of this medicine will increase the burden on the liver, thereby aggravating the condition."
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Panax notoginseng powder can both invigorate blood circulation and stop bleeding. However, in clinical practice, Wei Ping has seen many people who took Panax notoginseng powder as a health supplement and suffered from bleeding in various parts of the body. He has also seen people who had vaginal bleeding and gastrointestinal bleeding after taking it.
If you really want to take it, it must be prescribed by a Chinese medicine practitioner, rather than just thinking it is okay, reading the instructions, or thinking it is okay because others have taken it successfully.
Wei Ping sighed. It is more difficult to communicate with those who think they understand than those who don’t.
"Liver cirrhosis is considered the late stage of hepatitis. You should be more careful in your daily life and don't take medicine indiscriminately! Also, your nutrition should be balanced. Eating vegetarian food will only reduce your immunity! This will aggravate the condition." He added.
His words left the couple silent.
"What should we do then?"
"What should we do? Let me ask you now, do you believe me or what others say? If you believe me, treat everything according to my instructions!" Wei Ping said.
"Trust Dr. Wei!" the male professor said at this time.
"Okay, I'll prescribe some medicine for you to stop the bleeding first, and then we can start the hepatitis C treatment."
"The liver cirrhosis has reached the decompensated stage. The prognosis is very poor, right? And hepatitis C is difficult to cure at this time." Doctor Lin said in a low voice.
The prognosis for patients with decompensated cirrhosis is generally poor and depends on the progression of the disease and the presence of complications. First, patients with decompensated cirrhosis often present with esophageal and gastric varices, decreased liver function, and splenomegaly.
"No problem. I've looked up some literature and found that hepatitis C can be treated with antiviral therapy even in the decompensated stage. It can be cured! Only when hepatitis C is cured can the burden on the liver be reduced as much as possible."
Dr. Lin didn't say anything else. Maybe Wei Ping was right.
The other interns were stunned. Obviously, this knowledge was beyond their scope of study, but they still wrote it all down.
The woman then asked, "Can we stay in the hospital for a few days and come back later?"
Wei Ping got angry when he heard this.
"Don't you know that your husband's condition is not optimistic now? Because he has been taking Panax notoginseng powder for a month, his condition has worsened a lot and he has to be hospitalized for observation! If you go back and encounter special situations, can you handle it? Or do you want to go back and continue to worship Buddha?" Wei Ping said.
He didn't understand why this professor believed in Buddhism, was a vegetarian, and didn't believe in Western medicine! Did they rely on worshipping Buddha to write their papers?
The woman didn't speak.
"My words may be harsh at times, but you must understand that no one wants you to be healthy more than your doctor."
"Yes, Dr. Wei, we will fully cooperate with the treatment!" said the woman.
"Okay!"
"Congratulations for persuading the patient to receive treatment, saving his life, and winning RMB 3,000!"
