Chapter 74 Esophagoscopy for Leeches
After the wife of the middle-aged man signed the informed consent form for anesthesia, the endoscopic extraction officially began.

The anesthetist administers emergency general anesthesia under the patient's tracheal intubation.

This is the most effective and safe anesthesia option.

Zhou Chen followed to the endoscopy center.

The doctor first uses the soft mirror to enter the patient's esophagus and slowly descend.

All the doctors and nurses present held their breath, and the atmosphere became very tense.

After the leech was clamped by the pincers, it curled up suddenly and then broke free.

Tried two more times, but the pliers could not be clamped firmly.

Endoscopists had to use traditional esophagoscopes.

The patient's esophagus is accessed using an esophagoscope.

The bright red mucous membrane of the esophagus is displayed extremely clearly on the big screen.

When some timid nurses saw the leech that was "sucking" in the esophagus of the human body, they couldn't help but feel dizzy, and a layer of goose bumps appeared all over their bodies.

They averted their eyes and dared not look directly.

As the esophagoscope was pushed in, the brown leech was still "deeply plowing" forward on the patient's esophageal mucosa.

Seeing that there is only a small tail left.

To avoid yet another defeat, the leeches escape.

Zhou Chen suddenly suggested: "Let me do it."

The endoscopist didn't look up or respond.

Zhou Chen stepped forward and took the esophagoscope from his hand.

Time was running out, Zhou Chen had quick eyesight and quick hands, quickly locked on the tail of the leech, and followed up with the foreign body forceps.

With one sharp movement, it was clamped tightly, leaving it unable to escape.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding doctors and nurses couldn't help but cheer up with excitement.

"Clamped, clamped!"

Zhou Chen was extremely calm.

His hands did not tremble in the slightest, and he began to pull and pull back carefully.

The pulling force should be grasped precisely enough.

If the force is too great, it is easy to cause the hand to drop, or the body of the leech will be pulled off, and it will be a waste of time.

The distance from the patient's esophagus to the mouth is only more than 20 centimeters.

But for such a short distance, it took Zhou Chen more than 20 minutes to drag the whole leech out.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Removed esophageal foreign body for a patient, received +666 likes”

Dr. Zhang Jian, who was standing aside, couldn't help but secretly exclaimed.

Is this... a regular trainee who just graduated?
The first time I saw Zhou Chen, he was able to skillfully use endoscopic hematoma evacuation.

The second time, the old man had acute carbon monoxide poisoning, and Zhou Chen was able to give an accurate treatment plan.

This time, Zhou Chen was able to remove the leeches from the esophagus of the middle-aged patient as skillfully as a chef removing a cow.

Moreover, his technique was not inferior to that of the endoscopist present with many years of clinical experience.

It's really Liu Bei who threw the child, anything will do.

Zhou Chen loosened the tweezers, and put the wriggling leech in the white medical tray.

According to the usual practice, the medical staff will first take pictures of the foreign objects or tumors taken out of the patient, and then present them to the patient's family members.

The nurse looked down at the limp leeches wriggling in the tray, and couldn't help but be in a daze, trembling all over, looking terribly frightened.

Seeing that the female nurse was about to faint, Zhou Chen hurriedly took the end plate over again.

"Forget it, let me show it to my family."

After going out, the middle-aged patient's wife hurriedly got up and walked forward.

She didn't seem too surprised when she saw the leech taken out of her husband's esophagus in the tray.

"I said, how did this leech get into his esophagus?" Zhou Chen was extremely puzzled.

"Hey, my husband doesn't have rheumatoid arthritis. He went to a Chinese medicine clinic and asked the doctor that leeches can treat rheumatoid arthritis, so he went to the field to catch one. He ate it last night and this morning. sick."

The woman sighed heavily.

After hearing her explanation, Zhou Chen couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

How in the world are there still such ridiculous things happening?
What a bullshit.

"Who told you that eating raw leeches can cure diseases? Leeches have always been ground into powder and used as medicine..." Zhou Chen said.

"The Chinese medicine doctor in the clinic didn't explain it clearly, and we blamed us for not asking clearly." The woman said.

"Medical clinic? Which Chinese medicine clinic?" Zhou Chen asked casually.

"Baojitang Chinese Medicine Center."

It was Zhou Chen's first place to work after graduation.

It is estimated that Liu Hanwen and his son did the absurd thing again.

Zhou Chen shook his head and sighed lightly.

"Is my husband all right now?" the woman asked.

"It's okay, but don't be so reckless in the future. If you don't understand anything, be sure to ask. Taking medicine is no joke." Zhou Chen warned.

The woman leaned her head and glanced at the center of the endoscope.

The middle-aged male patient came out and smiled at her.

Only then did the woman ease her expression, her hanging heart finally sank, and she reprimanded her.

"See if you can still laugh?"

When Zhou Chen returned to the emergency department, it was already dusk.

Zhang Jian then walked in.

He looked at Zhou Chen with a strange look.

"I said you can do it, kid, how many skills do I not know?"

Zhou Chen smiled embarrassedly.

"what happened?"

"Do you know that when you were using an esophagoscope to remove foreign objects just now, the endoscopist next to you was dumbfounded."

"Oh, just use an endoscope, isn't it difficult?" Zhou Chen said with a slightly raised mouth.

In fact, he felt dark for a while.

After going out, they took off their white coats in front of the locker.

At the same time, Zhang Jian also exhorted:
"What happened last night is a lesson. When you are on the night shift with me in the future, you must not say that you are free."

"Blame me, blame me, there will never be a next time!"

Zhou Chen stood at attention, saluted him with his chest straight, and apologized.

Zhang Jian was so amused by his serious appearance that he laughed knowingly.

"You……"

The shift is over.

Wearing casual clothes, Zhou Chen walked through the long corridor and left the hospital.

On the stairs, a familiar figure sat there.

This caught Zhou Chen's attention.

Zhou Chen stepped forward to take a look.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao?...Why are you here?"

This is Zhang Mo's daughter Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Previously, Zhang Mo was misdiagnosed as advanced liver cancer by the county central hospital. After sending his daughter Zhang Xiaoxiao to the orphanage, he almost committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen arrived in time and rescued him.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao was probably brought home by Zhang Mo from the orphanage.

"I'm here to buy medicine."

Zhang Xiaoxiao replied in a childish voice.

Zhou Chen was slightly puzzled, and asked:

"What medicine did you buy? Did you buy it for your dad?"

"No, I want to buy it myself."

While speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao showed the cute little dimples on both cheeks.

Zhou Chen reached out and touched her head.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's ignorant and pure appearance is cute.

Zhou Chen asked again: "You want to buy medicine yourself? What's not feeling well? Uncle is a doctor. Let me show you."
