"Sister, what's wrong?" Wei Ping asked.
At this time, the whole office fell silent.
"Weiping, my father..."
Lin Jingjing's voice came from the phone.
At this time, she seemed to be crying.
"What's wrong, Uncle Lin? Speak slowly!"
He felt something was wrong.
At the same time, everyone's heart was lifted.
Then she said:
"He had a tooth pulled this morning because of a toothache, but now it doesn't seem to be getting better! He also took painkillers, but they didn't help much, and he's still groaning! I don't know what to do! I can only come to you, because you are a doctor! Can you tell me what to do next?"
She looked very helpless.
Anyone would feel extremely helpless if they were in this situation.
Wei Ping wondered how this could happen.
But the first thing I thought of was calling 120.
But the 120 ambulance going back and forth is also a waste of time.
So, if possible, he wanted to go and see it for himself.
"Can you let him tell me what's going on with him now?"
So let’s first understand the condition.
"Okay, okay, I'll give the phone to my dad! Wait a minute!"
After a while, Wei Ping heard Lin Jingjing's voice.
"Okay, Weiping, go ahead and ask."
"Hey, Uncle Lin, tell me what's going on!? I'm going to diagnose it now."
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, and his words were a little unclear.
"It hurts, it hurts so much, it feels like it's burning. I feel like the right side of my face is about to be torn apart. It hurts so much, and I'm crying! Ouch..."
You can feel that he is really in pain.
Wei Ping immediately thought about what disease would cause this situation.
He quickly made a preliminary judgment.
First, rule out toothache! Toothache doesn’t work like that.
Judging from his symptoms, trigeminal neuralgia is the most likely cause.
Trigeminal neuralgia is known as the worst pain in the world. Compared to it, the pain of kidney stones is nothing.
The pain often occurs suddenly without any warning, and is like a knife cutting, electric shock, or tearing pain. It quickly radiates to the entire affected nerve area, and can radiate to the occipital region and shoulders, and is sometimes accompanied by tears and runny nose.
According to statistics, adults and the elderly are the main groups affected by the disease, with the age of onset ranging from 28 to 89 years old, of which 70% to 80% are over 40 years old, and the peak age is 48 to 59 years old. Women are more likely to suffer from trigeminal neuralgia than men.
This disease can easily be misdiagnosed as a toothache.
Many people have had all their teeth extracted but still see no relief from the pain.
Some people even felt so painful that they wanted to jump off a building to end their lives.
It is hard to imagine how the patient endures such pain.
There are three general treatment principles for this disease: drug treatment, cutting off sensory nerves or using craniotomy and microvascular decompression.
Each of the three methods has its pros and cons, and only by observing the situation on site can we determine how to deal with it.
"Okay, I got it. I'll come find you now. You stay at home, I'll be there soon!"
Wei Ping said this.
"Weiping, you have to come quickly! Seeing dad like this, it hurts me so much!"
Lin Jingjing felt very helpless at this time because she had never encountered such a situation before.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll prescribe some medicine and come over. Don't worry, everything will be fine!" Wei Ping comforted.
"Okay, hurry up, I'm hanging up!"
After Wei Ping hung up the phone.
The scene became very quiet.
We were just discussing what to eat, but now because Wei Ping has something going on at home, no one knows what to say.
"What's wrong? Is anyone at home sick?" Yang Ke asked with concern.
"My uncle seems to be suffering from trigeminal neuralgia. I have to go back and check it out!" Wei Ping said while still thinking about how to deal with it.
What medicine should be prescribed? Should painkillers be prescribed together?
"Doesn't this disease require surgery? I think we should let him come to the hospital and let Director Tong take a look!" Yang Ke suggested.
"No, I'd better go take a look!"
But Wei Ping refused.
He knew that the cause of this disease was nerve pain caused by blood vessels pressing on the nerves.
So, if the blood vessels are separated from the nerves, the pain will be relieved.
The fastest way is surgery.
But I can control the blood vessels and nerves and separate them.
So, he was the fastest to go.
It’s more useful than calling 120.
And if you really send him to the hospital, he will have to do a CT scan and a full set of examinations. After all this, he will almost faint from the pain.
"But if you go and come back later, I'm afraid you'll miss the opportunity."
"I'll go back and treat him! Relieve his pain first. If it doesn't work, come back to the hospital." Wei Ping said.
"I think we should let the neurosurgeon take a look."
"Even if I pick him up now, Director Tong will be off work, right? I'll go back and take a look and give him some medicine first."
Wei Ping said again.
Now, except for the doctors in the emergency room and inpatient department, all the doctors in other departments have gone off work.
Do you want Director Tong to come back?
Obviously impossible.
And they also rely on instruments, many of which are not turned on at night. When you come to the hospital, there is a 99% chance that they will give you some painkillers, ask you to go home and take them, and come back tomorrow.
That will be a long process.
And if you really need surgery, you will probably have to wait in line for several days.
He didn't want Uncle Lin to go through so much trouble.
Yang Ke didn't ask too many questions.
He then inserted his medical insurance card, received a prescription for some trigeminal nerve treatment medication, and quickly went to the medication window to get the medicine.
When he finished packing his things and wanted to go out.
"Let me drive you there!" Yang Ke said proactively.
Wei Ping thought about it and didn't make a decision immediately.
Because he didn't dare to trouble others.
It's just his personality.
And it would be bad if people saw it and misunderstood it.
"It's rush hour now. You may not be able to get a taxi or bus if you go out!" Yang Ke said again.
She was quite generous and had no distracting thoughts.
"Yes, Dr. Wei, Yang Ke is right! If we can't get a car now, it will delay things." Pan Liyun said.
After listening to what the two said, Wei Ping felt that it made sense.
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
"We are a team, aren't we? I haven't treated you to a meal yet, I must make it up to you later!" Yang Ke said generously.
"Of course! Let's find a time to get together later." Wei Ping would never break his promise. If he said he would treat them to a meal, he would definitely do it.
"Then let's go!"
Wei Ping agreed.
Afterwards, the two arrived at the hospital parking lot, and Yang Ke walked to a red sports car and got in.
Wei Ping was stunned. This woman's family must be really rich.
This sports car is worth at least one million.
It's shocking how well the commuter bus drives.
But he didn't think too much and got in the car directly.
Saving lives is more important.
The car started and drove towards Lin Jingjing's home.
