Chapter 167 Viral meningitis
In the next few days, Tao Le followed Cao Ying almost every step of the way, learning to receive medical treatment from her.

Doctor Cao is very satisfied with her.This little girl is studious and smart, and she knows everything.

Sometimes she deliberately let go and let Tao Le come to consult and judge. Every time she did it meticulously, without a single mistake, it was very reassuring.

It's a pity that these are the children of other people's families.Dr. Cao sighed in his heart, if his son who failed to live up to expectations could catch up to one-tenth of Dr. Tao's, he wouldn't be the bear he is now.

While she was thinking about it, she received a call asking her to go to the emergency department for a consultation.

"I'll leave it to you first at the outpatient clinic." She explained to Tao Le and left in a hurry.

For Xiao Tao, she has nothing to worry about.

Tao Le logged into his own system, replaced the visiting doctor with himself, and then continued to call the number.

The patient was an eight or nine-year-old girl, who sat there obediently, looking a little sluggish.

Her father stated his condition.As soon as school started, the child's tonsils became inflamed.

Because I didn't have a fever, I didn't go to the hospital. I drank Qingkailing at home for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the child's illness dragged on for more than ten days, and it was always bad intermittently. He had a fever since the day before yesterday, and the fever reached nearly 39 degrees. He had a headache, fainted, and vomited several times.

Hearing this, Tao Le frowned: "I started to have a fever the day before yesterday, why did I come to the hospital today?"

The family members answered very naturally: "Isn't going to the hospital a delay in going to school? And it's normal for a child to have a fever."

"In the final analysis, this child is too delicate."

Tao Le glared at him unhappily: "Just now the outpatient pre-examination, the child's temperature is 39 degrees 5, it must be very uncomfortable, not to mention coquettish."

She asked the child to open her mouth and took a good look at her tonsils.It was very red and swollen, with white spots on it - it was suppurative tonsillitis.

Just don't know if it's bacterial or viral.

What the family members said just now made her a little worried: "Headache, accompanied by vomiting, when did you vomit, and how many times did you vomit?"

"I threw up once last week, the day before yesterday and yesterday"

"Is the vomit in the form of jets?" Tao Le was a little anxious.

"I don't know, who can stare at it." The family members were also a little impatient:

"Doctor, what's wrong with her, please prescribe some antibiotics. We missed half a day of class today by asking for leave, and we have to return to school quickly in the afternoon."

Tao Le opened the golden finger and took a look, and it was as she had judged.

She quickly ordered an EEG and a blood test sheet, and then said, "Don't even think about going back to school, go for an examination right away. If there are no accidents, the child will be hospitalized immediately."

"Hospitalized?" The father's voice suddenly raised his voice: "This is not acceptable! She has a piano exam on weekends, and she has to practice piano in the past few nights!"

Tao Le's voice became even colder: "It's not up to you, the child's problem is serious, go for an examination quickly." She checked the time, it was 10:30.

"No matter when the result comes out, you will come back immediately. I won't eat at noon, so I will wait for you here."

"Doctor, don't scare me. Is it that serious? What kind of disease is it?"

"Most likely it's meningitis."

Tao Le really didn't eat at noon, and sat in the consulting room until one o'clock in the afternoon. Doctor Cao came back, and he never saw the father and daughter again.

"Xiao Tao, what's the matter with you, are you worried?" Dr. Cao saw at a glance that she was worried.

Tao Le recounted the situation of the patient in the morning, and then said: "Although there may be quite a few people who have undergone EEG examinations, the results are produced on the spot, so it's not like they haven't come back yet, right?"

When Dr. Cao heard this, he also became worried.

"Could it be that this family member took the child away without any examination at all?"

"Ah? It can't be, I told him that it might be meningitis and he will be hospitalized?" Tao Le really didn't think of this possibility.

She immediately entered the system to check.

Dr. Cao guessed right, the father didn't even pay the fee for the examination, and just left!
"This is terrible!" Tao Le stood up immediately.

No one knew better than her that the child really had viral meningitis!

Most of her meningitis was induced by suppurative tonsillitis. If it is not treated in time, it will lead to neurological dysfunction, damage to limbs, speech and other functions, and may also form hydrocephalus and brain hernia, endangering her life.

"Don't worry. You'll know all kinds of parents when you stay in the outpatient clinic for a long time." Dr. Cao sighed:
"Children study all day long, and they almost can't do it, but they don't know that once the child's health is gone, everything else is empty."

"Doctor Cao, what should we do in this situation?" Tao Le asked humbly.

"What can we do? Just wait. The child's condition will deteriorate soon, and he will have to come back for medical treatment." Dr. Cao shook his head: "But it will not be so easy to treat at that time."

Indeed, it would be good to save the child's life after the child has some problems such as nervous system damage, and it is inevitable to leave sequelae.

Tao Le thought of the little girl just now, with a down-to-earth look, and couldn't help but feel sad for her.

This kind of parent seems to be very responsible and motivated, but at this time, it may ruin her life.

If just now, I could have spoken more seriously, acted more forcefully, and even accompanied them to the examination, would I have been able to recover something?
Her feeling of self-blame was immediately discovered by Cao Ying.

"Xiao Tao, you don't have to blame yourself. You can't blame me for this." She comforted, "We doctors only have the right to make suggestions, and parents are the guardians."

"I know, but I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart."

Seeing Tao Le like this, Cao Ying couldn't help but think of herself back then.After so many years of diagnosis and treatment, she gradually got used to all kinds of patients and their family members, and learned to do their best without forcing.

Just as he was about to comfort her a few more words, he saw Tao Le jumping up suddenly.

"This child is registered with a medical insurance card." She said quickly: "I'll check it out, there should be contact information on it!"

Seeing Tao Le running out like a gust of wind, Cao Ying smiled from the bottom of her heart.

This girl is serious, responsible, and will not complain when encountering problems, but can find ways to solve them.

In time, she will definitely be a good doctor!No, it should be said that she is already who she is now!

With that in mind, she called the medical insurance department.She is very happy to help Xiao Tao with some convenience!
