Li Zheng did not answer Wang Jiancheng immediately. Instead, he stared at the bone for more than ten seconds and fiddled with it several times with pliers.
"This is not an ordinary bone, it's a chicken bone!" Li Zheng said in a deep voice.
"What?"
"Chicken bones?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
If it were bones that grew out of my own body, I would be acceptable, but chicken bones are simply ridiculous.
"Li Zheng, are you seeing things? How could a chicken bone get into the appendix?" Wang Jiancheng didn't believe it at all.
Others have the same question.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "You're not mistaken. This should be the bone at the tip of the chicken. You can take a look."
Li Zheng handed the bones to Wang Jiancheng.
Wang Jiancheng looked at it over and over again, and could not help but nod and said, "You know what, it's really sharp!"
Although he didn't really like eating chicken tips, he could still recognize the bones.
Guo Weiqiang and Yang Chuan also looked at the bones again and again.
"It's really a piece of chicken bone!" After seeing it with his own eyes, Guo Weiqiang had to accept the reality.
"What is going on?" Zhang Lei asked.
Li Zheng said, "It must be that the old man accidentally swallowed a bone while eating chicken not long ago. The bone was difficult to digest and went down the gastrointestinal tract to the appendix and went straight into the stomach."
Everyone nodded.
This is the only possibility. It is impossible that the bone pierced directly into the abdomen.
"This chicken bone is very sharp, why didn't it pierce the gastrointestinal tract?" Zhang Lei asked.
Guo Weiqiang looked at Zhang Lei with disdain and said, "You don't know this, right? Our gastrointestinal tract has its own protective mechanism. When a sharp object irritates the stomach or intestinal wall, the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract will automatically contract and actively avoid the sharp object."
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "That makes sense. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for such a long bone to pass through the winding intestines and reach the appendix!"
"There are really all kinds of strange patients!" Zhu Haiping exclaimed.
"Let's go and ask the family again." Li Zheng said.
Guo Weiqiang took the chicken bones and put them into the curved plate.
The group came to the outside of the operating room again.
Seeing these doctors coming out again, the family members thought something had happened to the patient and gathered around nervously again.
"Did the old man eat chicken not long ago?" Wang Jiancheng asked.
The family members were a little confused.
A middle-aged male family member thought for a moment and said, "A week ago, I shot a pheasant in the mountains and stewed it for my father. Is there any problem?"
Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "There's a chicken bone stuck in your father's appendix."
“What? Chicken bones?”
All the family members were stunned.
Including the families of other patients, everyone had an incredible expression on their faces.
When they saw the chicken bones in the curved plate, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"It's really chicken bones!" an old lady shouted.
"This old man is so careless that he doesn't even spit out the chicken bones!"
"It's also possible that this little pheasant is so delicious that the old man couldn't bear to spit it out."
Everyone was talking at once, and everyone found it very novel and funny.
Wang Jiancheng explained to the patient's family why the chicken bone ended up in the appendix, and stressed that the old man was lucky that the chicken bone did not perforate his gastrointestinal tract.
When the family heard this, they were also thankful.
They were just complaining about why the male family member was hunting pheasants to eat, but when they heard that the old man had been on the verge of death these days, they were all frightened.
After treating this patient, it was already noon.
After Li Zheng finished his meal, he took a rest in the department at noon.
afternoon.
Li Zheng called together the doctors and nurses in the department to discuss the purchase of equipment from the county in the office.
Everyone sat around in the office.
Chen Dayong spoke first, saying, "I think our ambulance is too old. It's a second-hand one, and it's been in use for over ten years. It could fall apart at any time. We need to get a new one."
Li Zheng nodded and said, "It's not about replacing a new one, but buying an additional one!"
Chen Dayong laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I meant!"
Zhu Haiping quickly wrote it down.
"An ambulance."
Director Tang Jingqiu continued, "Our county hospital has many patients suffering from food poisoning and pesticide poisoning, and they often need gastric lavage. Our gastric lavage machine has been used for many years, and we need to purchase a new one."
"Haiping, write this down, three gastric lavage machines!" Li Zheng said.
"ah?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Director Tang did not mention the quantity, but everyone assumed it was one. Director Tang must have been thinking of this number as well. Why did Li Zheng mention three?
"We will definitely not approve three machines. Will the leaders think that we are asking for too much and don't understand reason? Besides, our emergency department doesn't need three machines at once." Director Tang said worriedly.
Chen Dayong shook his head and chuckled, "You guys don't understand this, do you? With Brother Zheng here, the county leaders will definitely support us. The key is that if we ask for three, the county will definitely give us a discount. They might not agree to buy the ambulance right away, but they'll have to get at least two gastric lavage machines!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Li Zheng still has an idea.
"Monitors, three!" Li Zheng said again.
With the operation of the gastric lavage machine, no one raised any objections.
"Brother Zheng, I thought of a device, I wonder if it can be included in the list." Zhu Haiping said in a low voice.
