Chapter 181 Compassion does not control soldiers. Don't question the content of popular science next time(2/2)
This surgery must be done well, and Dr. Xu’s reputation must not be diminished.
Six years ago, Dr. Xu lost to Director Hu Kan.
Now, Zhou Can is the successor of Dr. Xu, and he must win glory for Dr. Xu.
Zhou Can did not act arbitrarily after debriding the patient, completing the suturing, and then administering the medication.
Although he already had a basic plan in mind, he acted extremely modestly and discussed it with Dr. Duan. This could be regarded as saving some face for Dr. Duan.
Let others have face, and you will definitely win favor and respect.
After a series of treatments, the patient's fever subsided and his symptoms of sepsis subsided rapidly. After only staying in the intensive care unit for one day, his condition improved significantly and his vital signs were stable, so he was eventually transferred back to the general ward.
At this point, the patient finally turned the corner.
Dr. Duan and Dr. Zhao finally ended their days of fear and restlessness.
In the morning, Zhou Can went for ward rounds as usual.
Doctors Duan and Zhao followed closely behind.
"Dr. Zhou, please take some time to check on the patient named Yang Tie first!"
It's hard for a doctor to say this.
After all, he is an attending physician. It is too shameful to ask Guipeisheng to help check the patient's condition.
So I called Dr. Zhao, who was one level lower in rank, to speak.
"OK!"
Zhou Can readily agreed.
The patient has not been discharged from the hospital, and it is not easy for him to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Dr. Duan's level and experience are actually no worse than him. The main reason is that he was too frightened in the past two days and became extremely unconfident.
Zhou Can showed his advanced awareness of crisis prediction, and the debridement surgery was very successful. After Zhou Can's treatment, the patient was out of danger. These results were all added together, constantly overlapping, and finally formed in Dr. Duan's mind.
A deep impression - Zhou Can is very reliable.
As long as Zhou Can helps check things in, he feels at ease and stable.
Zhou Can quickly walked to the 6th bed.
When the man named Yang Tie was transferred from the intensive care unit, the 19 beds had already been occupied by new patients.
It happened that the patient in bed 6 was discharged from the hospital that day and the hospital bed became available, so he was admitted to bed 6.
Almost all beds in the hospital are used on a rotational basis.
The fastest turnover of beds is in the observation room of the emergency department.
Many patients there were transferred on the same day or the next day.
Most cardiothoracic surgery patients undergo major surgeries, and the hospitalization period is generally longer. This also leads to a greater shortage of beds.
On the hospital bed, the patient slept soundly.
After many days of torture, and now after the second operation, his body is improving rapidly, and he naturally needs to make up for some of the sleep he lost.
The patient's parents may have been tortured quite a lot these days.
After seeing their son's condition improving, they went home to sleep with confidence.
The patient's beautiful wife is lying in front of the hospital bed playing with her mobile phone.
This time I seemed to be watching short videos, and finally stopped searching on Baidu for how to treat this disease and whether the doctor’s treatment was appropriate.
"Dr. Zhao, good morning, Dr. Duan!"
When the woman saw Zhou Can, she was still a little embarrassed.
She chose to turn a blind eye and did not say hello to Zhou Can.
"Is the patient's condition okay?"
Zhou Can didn't mind arguing with her as a woman, so he walked to the hospital bed to check the patient's wound healing status.
There is no more redness or swelling, and the wound is normal.
He picked up the patient's ward rounds and looked at it. His body temperature, blood pressure, and urine output were all normal.
The situation is not bad.
It seems that the patient will be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
"His body temperature has stabilized and the infection should have been effectively controlled. We can try to reduce the dosage of antibiotics and immune-modulating drugs."
Zhou Can said to Dr. Duan.
Be it antibiotics or other drugs, they cannot be used for a long time.
When a patient is critically ill, the priority is to save his life, and the dosage of drugs is almost always maximal.
When the condition is under control, the dosage of some drugs should be gradually reduced so that the patient can adapt quickly after discharge.
It can also avoid a series of negative effects caused by overuse of antibiotics.
Of course, some small hospitals are often unwilling to reduce the dosage of medicine in order to pursue curative effect, to give patients good reviews when they are discharged, and for personal performance.
This situation will cause the patient to be fine when discharged from the hospital, but then experience recurrence of the condition or a series of physical dysfunction after returning home.
Many patients often scold doctors for leaving "tricks", which seriously lengthens the recovery period.
Need to go to the hospital repeatedly to get medicine.
Or be hospitalized multiple times.
These are most likely the consequences of overdosing.
Just like weaning a baby, if you wean it off all at once, it will definitely not be able to bear it and it will cry non-stop. If you can slowly add complementary foods a few months in advance and gradually reduce the number of breastfeeding times, the baby will be able to adapt well when weaning comes.
"The doctor's order was given today, and I will lower the dosage of medicine for the patient!" Dr. Duan accepted Zhou Can's advice in full.
"Uh...he is just a trained doctor, equivalent to a trainee level. Can what he said be adopted? Will it be okay if my husband reduces his medication as soon as his condition improves a little? Don't worry, my family's financial conditions are not bad.
It’s not much less than the cost of medicine.”
The beautiful woman said quickly.
Her concerns are not unfounded.
Especially people like her who like to popularize science on their own.
It's okay if the information you look up is correct. If you look up pseudo-popular science knowledge or your personal understanding is wrong, it's easy to form wrong perceptions.
"Although Dr. Zhou is only a doctor with regular training, his level is very high. He made great efforts in your husband's second surgery and postoperative medication. It can be said that your husband's disease can improve quickly. He has very good skills."
Big credit. In addition, I can tell you clearly that from a professional perspective, Dr. Zhou suggested reducing the dosage of medicine. This is responsible for the patient..."
After Dr. Duan explained, the beautiful woman was shocked and ashamed.
She did not expect that her husband's rapid improvement in condition was due to this trained doctor.
Moreover, she had spoken harsh words to Zhou Can many times, and she constantly questioned Zhou Can's professional level. As a result, Zhou Can not only did not care, but repaid kindness with resentment, and always considered the patients.
At this moment, she really felt ashamed and embarrassed.
"So that's it! It's all my fault that I don't understand and like to be suspicious, so I misunderstood Dr. Zhou. I'm sorry."
She apologized to Zhou Can full of guilt.
When he looked at Zhou Can, there was no cold confrontation or hostility in his eyes. Instead, he was filled with gratitude and guilt.
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhou Can waved his hand magnanimously.
"Next time you have questions, remember not to search on Baidu and consult our professional medical staff directly. The content you read on Baidu may be correct, but it may not be applicable. Even if it is just a small cold, there may be more than a hundred ways to treat it.
"Which medicines to prescribe, medication period, dosage, auxiliary treatment options, etc. can only be given by a doctor after diagnosis."
I wasn't planning to say this at first.
This woman's apology was quite sincere, as a doctor has the heart of a parent. In order to prevent her from harming her family or herself next time, it would be better to give her a kind reminder.
"Haha! I saw the shady stories of hospitals often exposed in the news. I was worried about being cheated and worried about encountering low-level novice doctors, so I kept searching online. I won't do it anymore."
She expressed her stance with an embarrassed smile.
After experiencing this incident, she understood that online science popularization was of very little use. On the contrary, it could easily mislead her and make her resist the doctor.
It is indeed very bad to constantly question the doctor’s treatment plan.
"After being discharged from the hospital, remember not to give him various supplements immediately. You must take your time. I see that you have been staying at the hospital bed these days to take good care of your husband. It is very touching and admirable."
Zhou Can praised her a few words before leaving to avoid the embarrassment of social death.
Today, our team has two major surgeries, both performed by Director Xue.
When he was treating this patient named Yang Tie, Director Xue and Director Hu Kan must have been secretly paying attention.
Now that he has proven his strength, it should be much easier for him to get another chance for surgery.
