Chapter 2340 Powerless
A child who had always been diagnosed as having a speech impediment was cured. How could the medical staff not be excited?
The nurse who was taking care of the little baby burst into tears. She picked up the little guy who was holding her lap and kissed him fiercely.
The child was brought to the shelter when he was about four months old. She and several colleagues nursed him until he was nearly two years old.
In addition to taking care of the baby, she and her colleagues also taught the child how to speak. Unfortunately, their efforts for more than a year have not yielded any results. The baby can only cry, but cannot utter a complete sentence. When he opens his mouth, he can only say "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The hoarse sound.
The nurse hugged the child who relied on her and thanked her with tears: "Little girl, thank you! We thought Xiaofu was mute at one time, but you cured his muteness as soon as you took action. Thank you so much!"
Xiaofu is the name given by the medical staff to the abandoned babies. There was an abandoned baby named Xiaoxing before, and there was another abandoned baby named Happiness before that. The three children together are "happiness". The medical staff hope that they will get rid of all diseases and be happy for the rest of their lives. .
"You're welcome, the little guy's vocal cords are fine. His inability to speak is due to the central nervous system of the brain.
There is not enough time today to do acupuncture treatment. I am only temporarily activating his central nervous system. Tomorrow, he will need another formal acupuncture to eliminate the hidden dangers of central nervous system and trigeminal neuralgia. ”
Le Yun added: "He has just received an acupuncture, so his brain should not be overactive or tired. Letting him rest in a relatively quiet environment will be beneficial to his health."
"I'll take Xiaofu back to the ward to rest first." The nurse immediately followed the doctor's orders and carried Xiaofu, who was clinging to her, to the ward to rest.
Some parents were extremely suspicious that a certain little girl's reputation as a national player in Xinglin was a boast. Seeing that she had solved a child's difficult problem, they immediately gave up half of their suspicions and started to look forward to it.
Shen Yishou especially wanted to take the little girl to discuss the connection between the location of the needle she just inserted and neurological diseases, but seeing so many children still waiting for the little girl to see a doctor, he had to suppress his emotions.
The nurse took away a child. Leyun put the lid of the jade box back into her backpack, hung the backpack on her shoulder, and walked between the children in the first and second rows to conduct group consultation.
She wanted to do a group consultation with a single glance. She was afraid of scaring people and being regarded as a monster, so she had to be more detailed and conduct a clinical consultation.
She walked up and down, stopping to check several children who were seriously ill. Those with mild symptoms stopped checking them one by one.
Walking from the beginning to the end, then turning to the aisle between the third and fourth rows, I stopped next to a seven-year-old child and reached out to touch the child's spine.
After a preliminary examination, I asked the attending doctor who followed me: "Doctor, this child has ankylosing spondylitis, syringomyelia, and renal damage. Moreover, one of the vertebrae in his spine has become diseased. He must Surgery is required to remove the diseased vertebrae. The family members need to sign a consent form and choose whether to install a prosthetic bone or directly remove the diseased vertebrae
It takes about a year of recovery time to install the prosthetic bone. During this period, the child's health needs to be carefully taken care of. If the prosthetic bone is damaged by an accidental collision and is not discovered in time, there will be a certain life-threatening risk;
If the diseased vertebra is removed without installing a prosthetic bone, the child's neck will become shorter because a vertebrae is missing in the middle. Care must be taken during the recuperation period. If there is a large movement or other accident, the bone ends must be aligned. The alignment may shift. If it is found after healing that the child wants to correct it, a second surgery will be required. If it is found after healing that the alignment is no longer straight, the child will have a crooked neck, which will have a certain impact on the person's appearance. ”
In a word, surgery has risks, and parents should be cautious in their choice or care.
"There are certain risks in any surgery, and those of us in the industry are aware of it. We will discuss it in detail with the parents of the children later."
The attending doctor deeply understands the risks of surgery. No matter major surgery or minor surgery, every surgery is not 100% safe, but the risk is different and the probability of occurrence varies.
The doctors all understood the risks of surgery, and they were there to communicate with the parents. Le Yun said nothing more and continued to see the patients, and finally examined the children with cerebral infarction and spinal muscular atrophy.
After the examination, he told the truth: "The child with cerebral infarction had a second recurrence of cerebral infarction. Several blood vessels in his brain have aged due to blockage. Even I cannot rejuvenate the aged blood vessels.
His cerebral infarction was caused by mitral valve stenosis, which was caused by underdevelopment of his heart. To prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction, the heart problem must be solved first.
With my current ability, I can probably restore him to 70%, that is, after treatment, he is only 70% as healthy as a normal child, his reaction ability is slower than that of a normal child, and his intelligence is slightly worse. Of course, life He can take care of himself, but he is not as flexible and smart as normal children.
There is also this child with spinal muscular atrophy. This is a genetic disease. The genes cannot be changed. After the child is cured, his motor ability is worse than that of normal healthy children, and his intelligence is also lower, which is about the same as that of normal children. eight points smart.
His parents chose treatment and informed them to draw 200 ml of blood on an empty stomach between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. yesterday morning. Ask the doctor to transfer the blood to me at noon tomorrow, and I will prepare targeted medicine for him.
The best time for blood collection is after five o'clock in the morning and before seven o'clock in the morning. If the hematology department or laboratory doctors are not at work at that time, ask the hospital to arrange for a doctor to work overtime to draw blood, and then put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, and the labeled bottles are in The temperature cannot exceed 24 degrees for more than one hour. "The little girl spoke in great detail. The attending doctor recognized the parents of the child with spinal muscular atrophy. He looked over and found that the mother of the child was staring at the little girl.
He was about to remind the child when the mother of the child asked eagerly: "Doctor, does it have to be blood from both parents? Can it be a day later? We are from S Province, Jiangnan, and the child's father may not be able to arrive in Songhai City in time tonight. .”
"The blood of the parents is necessary. I need to do a test on the blood of the parents of the child, and then I can prepare targeted drugs. If I can't make it tomorrow morning, I can postpone it to the morning of the day after tomorrow.
The blood must be given to me at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest. Only after I get the blood sample and study it can I know that the medicine in my hand is insufficient. If it is insufficient, I can arrange for someone to purchase it in time. The medicine can be prepared in time the day after tomorrow in the evening. After treating the child, at least You have to observe it for a day or two.
I am expected to stay in the No. 1 Hospital for four to five days. My family will rush to Songhai City tomorrow night, and they will have time to draw blood in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. ”
"I've written it down." The eyes of the patient's mother were bright. The drugs to treat spinal muscular atrophy are imported. One injection costs hundreds of thousands, one injection a month, and the average family earns more than one million a year. Simply can't afford it.
Because their family is located in an economic development zone and was demolished thanks to the country's economic development, they have a small amount of assets and can currently afford about three years of treatment.
Whether you can afford the cost is one thing. The important thing is that even if there are targeted therapies, they cannot cure the disease and can only temporarily save the child's life.
The little girl said that it can restore the child to 80% of the health of a normal child!
Eighty percent, that is, except for slightly lower IQ and reaction ability, basically there is not much difference from healthy children. What a wonderful therapeutic effect that is!
The mother of the child almost wanted to call the father immediately and ask him to come over quickly.
The patient's family had no objections, and Le Yun did not explain to her the risks involved in the operation. Parents of children who did not want to give up their children were parents who truly loved their children, and she would do her best to save their children and make their families whole.
There were still several departments to go to for consultation, so she couldn't stay in the neurology department for too long. Le Yun didn't immediately write down a list of treatment orders and went to the next department first.
Shen Yishou and others led the way again. Based on the principle of proximity, the next one was the oncology department.
There are many young patients in the oncology department, and there are all kinds of tumors, most of which are malignant tumors. Malignant tumors are cancers.
Le was in the nursing hall of the inpatient department of the oncology department, treating small patients waiting in line. The patients ranged from infants to teenagers who were about to become adults.
When Li Zhao took his younger brother and the nurse to the neurology department, he learned that Miss Le had been transferred to the oncology department, and then to the oncology department.
They found the oncology department and saw the little girl examining a patient, standing by silently.
Le spent half an hour checking out all the oncology patients, and went to the doctor's office to chat alone.
After the doctor finished talking to the little girl, he invited a parent of a child with lung cancer into the office and closed the door.
Le Yun did not beat around the bush and directly told the parents about a certain child's condition. The child had a respiratory tract tumor and lung cancer. It had reached an advanced stage. The entire lung was damaged. The cancer cells had spread throughout the body. The liver and kidneys were infected by cancer cells. The infection is getting worse quickly.
The child's body is already riddled with holes that cannot be restored by human intervention. Without treatment, he has at most two months to live.
Classmate Le can only relieve his pain and extend his life for two to three months. Extending his life for three months is the maximum period.
If a lung transplant is performed, even if there is a lung source, the chance of successful transplantation is low to close to zero. Moreover, the hospital does not have a matching lung source. The child's parents have been matched before, but the match failed.
The existing artificial lungs are called oxygenators or gas exchangers. They are mostly used for extracorporeal circulation during surgery and need to be used in conjunction with a blood pump. They are actually artificial heart-lung machines, not implants that can permanently replace lung functions. human organs.
The child has already used an artificial lung to help him breathe in the hospital, so it is unrealistic to use an artificial lung machine to replace the lungs.
No matter how powerful Le Xiao's classmate is, the child's body is already damaged, and no matter how good her medicine is, it is of no use. Even if the medicine is used to kill the cancer cells, the child's body will not survive for half a year.
