Chapter 324 Let’s talk about the key points first
Yu Zhiming drove out of Huashan Hospital and headed towards Ning'an Hospital as fast as possible.
For people in their eighties, it is better to believe that some sudden worries are real.
If negligence really occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Yu Zhiming also knew that Gu Qingning's first closest relative was his brother Gu Qingran, and his second closest relative was not his parents, but his grandparents.
Gu Qingning said that she spent a lot of her childhood and adolescence with her grandparents...
Although Yu Zhiming hurried to get to the hospital, it was the rush hour and he couldn't go any faster. It took him nearly one hour and forty minutes to get to Ning'an Hospital.
After arriving at Ning'an Hospital, he followed Gu Qingning who came to greet him and walked quickly into a two-story cream-colored stand-alone building near the shore of Ning'an Lake.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Zhiming is here to see you." As soon as he entered the door, Gu Qingning started yelling.
Following the cheerful shout, a thin, handsome old man with meticulously combed white hair, wearing reading glasses and a ruddy complexion, slowly walked out of the study and came to the living room.
Gu Qingning ran over, took the old man's arm, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, look, look, isn't Zhiming even more handsome than in the photo?"
Facing the old man's scrutiny, Yu Zhiming quickly stood up straight, adjusted his clothes, and bowed gently, saying, "Hello, old man, I'm Yu Zhiming."
The old man took off his glasses, looked at Yu Zhiming again, nodded slightly and said, "He is indeed a handsome man."
"Hey, little guy, you came all the way to see me, but how come you came empty-handed?"
this……
Yu Zhiming grinned to himself and explained, "I came directly from Huashan Hospital. I was in a hurry and forgot to prepare anything."
He thought of the purpose of coming here, and then said: "Well, my body exploration skills have been quite successful."
"If you don't mind, I'd like to examine you. Just consider it a gift."
It was a bit taboo for the doctor to rush to examine an old man. Gu Qingning didn't want her grandfather to misunderstand that Yu Zhiming didn't understand the ways of the world, so she quickly explained.
"Grandpa, I saw you coming out of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, coughing a little and looking a little tired, so I got a little worried."
"So, I called Zhiming privately and asked him to rush over."
After a pause, Gu Qingning continued, "Grandpa, you may not know that today is the grand opening day of Zhiming's twin sister's restaurant."
"He was going to celebrate and help."
"It opens tomorrow!" Yu Zhiming muttered to himself.
Grandpa Gu patted the back of Gu Qingning's hand, which was holding his arm, and smiled gently.
"You little girl, I haven't said anything yet, but you've already said so much."
"I know you like this guy, but you can't show it too much."
"Grandpa..." Gu Qingning shook the old man's arm shyly.
The old man laughed and looked at Yu Zhiming.
"Little guy, I have no problem hiding my illness and avoiding medical treatment. I also know that you have great abilities."
"Come to think of it, after coming out of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber this time, I did feel a little uncomfortable in my lungs, with a dull pain."
"This body is a little tired, and my legs feel heavy."
"Thank you for your hard work once..."
Next, the old man followed Yu Zhiming's arrangements, went to the master bedroom on the first floor, and lay down on the bed.
Yu Zhiming began to examine the old man's body, starting with his lungs.
As soon as he started, he discovered the problem.
Hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment has many benefits.
Its main function is to promote aerobic metabolism of cells, increase oxygen content, improve metabolism, and improve circulation.
It can also promote the excretion of harmful gases, reduce edema, reduce exudation, inhibit the growth and reproduction of anaerobic bacteria, promote wound healing, enhance the efficacy of tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, prevent and treat its complications, promote nerve sheath repair, regulate immunity, etc.
For the elderly, due to their unique physiological conditions, as they age, their body functions deteriorate, their vasomotor function decreases, their blood viscosity increases, and many tissue cells will suffer from hypoxia and ischemia.
Regular or irregular hyperbaric oxygen therapy can correct hypoxia and ischemia in stages.
This can directly compensate for the insufficient oxygen supply caused by the decline in physiological functions of the elderly, improve the normal functions of various organs in the body, prevent various geriatric diseases caused by lack of oxygen, delay the aging process, and so on.
However, due to the fragility of the elderly's bodies, special attention should be paid to some of the side effects of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
The normal air pressure in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is generally two atmospheres, which is twice that of the outside world.
During the process of receiving hyperbaric oxygen, the body's aerobic metabolism is vigorous, the oxidation process in the body is accelerated, and oxygen consumption increases.
In addition, in a high-pressure environment, gas density and respiratory resistance increase, and the amplitude of respiratory movements increases, which will increase the patient's cardiopulmonary burden and may cause respiratory muscle fatigue.
It may also cause decompression sickness.
As the environmental pressure drops rapidly, bubbles form in the body and blood, blocking blood vessels or compressing tissues, causing damage to the body.
Yu Zhiming discovered that many of the old man's alveoli had suffered barotrauma.
Importantly, he also discovered two pulmonary embolisms caused by air bubbles in small arteries.
This made Yu Zhiming feel uneasy, and he quickly began to examine the old man's brain.
Fortunately, after a careful examination, no signs of air embolism were found in the old man's brain.
Next, Yu Zhiming conducted a full-body examination of the old man's body step by step.
But the test results are really not good.
Yu Zhiming also found two air emboli in the small veins of the old man's left calf.
More seriously, there is suspected colon cancer.
The most serious thing is that although the old man’s heart is well maintained, he has no cardiovascular disease that requires attention.
However, Yu Zhiming felt that his heart seemed to be unable to hold on.
After finishing the physical examination, Yu Zhiming withdrew his hands, straightened up, and was thinking about how to speak tactfully when the voice of the old man sounded in his ears.
"Little guy, your face is full of the discovery that I, an old man, will soon die."
"If you find anything, just tell me."
The old man said generously, "I have been through many ups and downs for decades. I can handle any kind of bad news."
"I'm eighty-five years old. Even if I die tonight, I'll have lived enough."
Yu Zhiming did not respond directly, but touched his face and looked at Gu Qingning beside him.
"Lime, is it so obvious on my face?"
Gu Qingning nodded heavily, her face full of worry as she said, "It's really obvious. I can tell at a glance that you have some serious bad news."
"Zhiming, is grandpa's condition really not good?"
She added nervously, "Um, do you want me to notify my family to come over?"
These words made the old man sitting on the bed want to stand up and knock the two little guys on the head.
Do you know how to avoid taboos and respect the elderly? I'm still full of energy now, it's not like I'm going to die soon.
Yu Zhiming nodded seriously and said, "As for the old man's health, we need to inform his family!"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst."
"Also, the old man needs to go to the treatment room and receive treatment to eliminate the gas embolism."
"At the same time, have the hospital set up a monitoring room. We need to monitor the old man's heart 24 hours a day..."
On Pujiang South Road, there is a seemingly ordinary small restaurant.
In the elegantly decorated lobby, Gu Qingran was having dinner with his goddess Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying swallowed a small piece of mutton and said happily, "It really tastes unusual, and it lingers on my lips and teeth."
"Brother Gu, I know this shop. It's very famous and it's hard to reserve a spot."
"How did you get here so easily?"
Gu Qingran smiled lightly and said, "Zhu Ying, you must know that my job requires me to eat and drink with guests frequently."
"And the places to eat and drink can't be bad. People who come here so often are considered regulars."
Zhu Ying's eyes lit up as she asked, "Brother Gu, so what about those famous restaurants in Binhai?"
Gu Qingran said with a hint of pride, "I can't say I've been to all of them, but I've definitely been to most of them, more than once."
"From now on, I'll take you to eat them all."
Zhu Ying's face lit up with joy, but then she shook her head and said, "I wouldn't dare be so extravagant. I know those restaurants are not only well-known, but also very expensive."
"Our combined salaries aren't enough to eat like this. Well, it's still okay to eat out once a month."
Gu Qingran laughed heartily and said proudly, "We don't have to eat at one restaurant a month, we can eat at one restaurant every two or three days."
"Don't worry, it's my treat."
He suddenly realized something and added, "I can reimburse a lot of the entertainment expenses."
Zhu Ying smiled lightly and advised, "Brother Gu, it's better not to take advantage of this company if you can."
"No one is stupid. The company also has its own accounts. When the value created by one person is not equal to the cost, it is hard to say."
Gu Qingran smiled and nodded, "Zhu Ying, you are right. I will pay more attention in the future..."
Just then, his cell phone rang.
I took out my phone and saw that it was Gu Qingning calling.
"It's my sister calling."
Gu Qingran explained to Zhu Ying and answered the phone.
"Qing Ning, I'm having dinner with Zhu Ying..."
Gu Qingran had just given half of his suggestion when he was interrupted: "Brother, hurry back to Ning'an Hospital."
"Zhiming gave Grandpa a physical examination. His condition is very bad and he could be in danger at any time."
"Brother, please come back soon..."
These words really shocked Gu Qingran.
He took a few quick breaths, forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Qing Ning, don't worry for now."
"Please repeat to me what Zhiming said."
As he spoke, Gu Qingran made a gesture to the waiter in the lobby to check out.
Gu Qingning's voice continued to come from the phone.
"Zhiming said that Grandpa had a pulmonary embolism caused by an air embolism and a leg vein thrombosis."
"Zhiming said it was a minor problem and he could easily get rid of it."
"The important thing is that grandpa has suspected intestinal cancer."
"The most deadly thing is..."
Hearing this, Gu Qingran also wanted to knock his sister on the head. Let’s get to the point first, okay?
"What is fatal?" Gu Qingran urged!
"Brother, it's a heart problem!" Gu Qingning's voice on the phone unconsciously became tearful.
"Zhiming said that grandpa's heart may not be able to hold on and may stop beating at any time."
"Brother, I'm scared, come back soon."
Hearing this, Gu Qingran stood up.
He knew Yu Zhiming's abilities very well. If he said cardiac arrest was a possibility, he would definitely not be wrong.
Looking at Zhu Ying, who stood up with a worried look on her face, Gu Qingran said quickly, "My grandfather has found something wrong with his health. His life is in danger. I need to go back immediately."
"My grandfather has always been most worried about my personal problems. Zhu Ying, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"
Zhu Ying was completely stunned.
"Brother Gu, this... this is too sudden, isn't it? We haven't known each other for that long."
Gu Qingran took Zhu Ying's hand and strode out.
"Zhu Ying, I'll tell you something on the way."
"You're on your way, think about it carefully..."
