Chapter 221 Late night emergency, non-urgent patients
“We touched it for a long time at the time, and it felt a little weird.”
“Then search online.”
“After a search, I almost fainted from fright.”
“Everything is said on the Internet.”
“Some say it’s a tumor, others say it’s an infectious disease.”
“The scariest thing is that people say it’s cancer, and it’s terminal cancer.”
“I didn’t dare to be slow, so I dialed 120 and went directly to a local hospital.”
Zhou Mo: “…”
Zhang Mei: “…”
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
Touched something, 120?
I don’t know if the doctors and nurses with the 120 car will complain.
However, this attitude of the patient is worthy of recognition.
When you feel something wrong with your body, you must go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible.
This will not delay your illness.
Like Zhang Mei’s previous patients, they were all busy with work, even ignoring their own health.
This kind of person just doesn’t understand.
The body is the most important capital. If the body is not good, no amount of money will be spent.
The patient girl sighed slightly and continued talking.
“I was in the hospital that night, and the doctor was very cautious when they saw the lump on my body.”
Zhou Mo also knew it in his heart.
The doctors at that hospital were also right to be cautious.
Painful lumps on the body are often caused by trauma, such as knocking or accidentally falling.
These are all fine.
And this kind of painless lump is the most horrible, and most of it is not a good thing.
Like lymphoma.
Lymphoma is a painless lump that develops on the body.
In addition to lymph node metastases from some malignant tumors of lymphoma, painless lumps may also form.
For experienced physicians, the thought of this is instinctive.
So the doctors in that hospital, no matter how much they pay attention, are understandable.
Zhang Mei suddenly paused and asked.
“Wait…then why are you going to the emergency department now?”
Patient girl: “Ah? I suspect a tumor on my body?”
Zhang Mei shook her head: “I’m in the emergency room. I can’t see the tumor. To see the tumor, you have to go to the oncology department.”
Zhou Mo nodded slightly in the back. He just wanted to say this. This patient has no fever and no abdominal pain. Everything is in perfect condition. If you just look at the tumor, the emergency room is useless at all.
The patient girl herself was stunned for a moment.
“I… wait, I have a fever!”
“Ah… let me see…”
Ear thermometer test.
37.5 degrees
Do have a fever.
The patient girl added: “I was over 39 degrees half an hour ago, and it was only after taking antipyretics.”
Zhang Mei shook her head: “But I can only give you antipyretics here…other treatments, we can’t help you.”
This is not a very urgent disease. There is no way to ask the doctor on duty in the oncology department to come down, and the oncologist will complain.
Zhou Mo said to Zhang Mei at this time: “Teacher, there are no other patients yet. I want to hear about this disease…”
He hadn’t seriously touched the tumor yet.
No matter what kind of disease, Zhou Mo is very interested and wants to get in touch.
Anyway, there are no patients on the night shift now, so Zhou Mo might as well listen to this case and gain experience.
When Teacher Zhang Mei heard it, she was right.
“Go on…”
At this time, the patient heard the emergency doctor say that they could not do it, and regretted coming to the hospital emergency.
However, out of her admiration and trust in the doctor, she decided to speak out about her condition.
The patient girl paused and continued to speak.
“The doctor at that hospital arranged a series of tests for me the next day.”
“The first is a chest CT, and an abdominal CT.”
Zhou Mo nodded slightly.
The doctor arranged for a chest CT, and should be worried that the patient may have lymphoma.
A CT scan can tell if the patient has lymphoma.
As for abdominal CT,
It is also very necessary.
Because lymphoma is a systemic disease!
It is not possible to grow only in the chest, and lymph nodes may develop in every part of the body.
In addition to the chest, the abdomen is the most likely place to develop lymph nodes.
Therefore, chest and abdomen CT is very necessary.
Zhou Mo secretly guessed in his heart.
The doctor on duty in this hospital should be an experienced doctor.
The patient girl continued: “At that time, the CT results really found the problem.”
“In addition to the lymph nodes under the armpit, there are also swollen lymph nodes under the chest cavity. It is indeed suspected to be a tumor…”
Hearing this, Zhou Mo suddenly asked: “Where is the abdominal cavity, is there any abdominal cavity?”
Patient girl: “The doctor told me that there were some abnormalities in the abdominal cavity. For example, some intestinal mucosa was thickened a lot, and there was the possibility of lymphoma invasion.”
After a pause, the patient added.
“However, the doctor told me that there was a possibility of lymphoma at the time, but it is still uncertain, and further examinations are needed.”
“It made me nervous at the time, so I asked how to do further examinations.”
“The doctor told me to do a pathological examination at the time.”
“The pathological examination is to cut the lymph node under the armpit and then take it for testing.”
“I hesitated.”
Yes, hesitated.
It’s surgery after all.
The patient girl discussed it with her boyfriend and left the hospital that day, planning to hesitate for a day, and at the same time ask her family for help. The family was hesitant when they heard about the surgery.
Then, the patient girl ran to another hospital to see the oncology department.
The oncologist took a look and said that fever (bacteria, virus) caused lymph node swelling, it is also possible, don’t worry.
After the fever subsides, check the situation.
Tumors, after the fever subsides, will naturally not change.
If the swelling is simply due to a bacterial virus, it will basically return to normal after the fever subsides.
hear this,
Rejoice for the female patient!
It doesn’t require surgery at all!
The doctor in the first hospital was simply playing the piano and blackening her surgery money.
then,
She waited for the fever to subside.
After 2 days, the fever subsided.
Sure enough, the lymph nodes in the armpit were smaller.
Zhou Mo: “…”
Zhang Mei: “…”
Zhou Mo asked strangely, “Then why did you come to the hospital again today?”
An ugly smile was forced out of the patient’s girl’s face, and after a moment of hesitation, she said.
“After a few days, my fever returned, and I took a lot of medicines for colds and fevers, but there was no effect, and I could only temporarily reduce the fever.”
Uh…
Fever medicines do only temporarily reduce fever.
There is no cure for fever.
“In the past few days, not only did my forehead get hot, but I also had headaches.”
“It’s like someone stuffed me into a big clock and kept ringing it from the outside.”
“The brain is buzzing.”
The female patient and her boyfriend are scared now.
Headaches are no small thing.
So hurry to the hospital.
Because it was already late at night, and the doctors in the outpatient clinic had already left work, leaving only the emergency room.
…
Zhou Mo: “Did you bring the film you made before?”
At this time, Zhou Mo had already developed a strong interest in this disease.
“Bring it, bring it.”
The patient took out the CT result report taken earlier and handed it to Zhou Mo.
