Siheyuan: Rebirth in a prosperous era, great doctors are sincere

Li Pingan went to the X-ray examination room with the patient, and the results came out soon. Round or irregular small shadows appeared in the area of ​​the chest and lungs. They gradually increased from few to large, and the density gradually increased, and then gathered to form large shadows. The changes were symmetrical on both sides.

In fact, this is a type of alveolar proteinosis and diffuse nodular fibrosis in both lungs.

Pneumoconiosis, also known as pneumoconiosis, is a disease caused by long-term inhalation of inorganic mineral dust and characterized by diffuse nodular or grid-like fibrosis of lung tissue.

The cause is often attributed to occupational or environmental factors such as silica dust, asbestos dust, or carbon black dust.

Pneumoconiosis is divided into many types, such as silicosis, coal workers' pneumoconiosis, graphite pneumoconiosis, asbestosis, etc.

The pathogenic factors are related to factors such as dust particle size, dust concentration, and contact time.

Pneumoconiosis is one of the common and major occupational diseases.

Some symptoms of the disease, such as cough and asthma, can be treated, but it cannot be completely cured because once the disease occurs, it is irreversible. Only active treatment can control the development of the disease and improve the quality of life.

After seeing the X-ray, Li Pingan looked at the patient repeatedly and asked, "What do you do? Do you work in a mining area?"

The patient suddenly changed color.

He has been following Li Ping'an since he arrived at the clinic, and no one has told him about his situation.

Li Ping'an just took his pulse and found out that he was a worker in the mining area. It seemed that he knew that his illness was related to his long-term mining in the mining area. He should have found the cause of his illness.

The patient seemed to see the hope of being cured, and also saw the hope of survival of his co-workers who had the same disease, so he finally told his situation without hesitation.

The patient's name is Resu Lihan, a miner working in the No. 3 mine in Keketuohai, northwest China.

They discovered a lot of rare metals in Mine No. 3. This time they came to report to their superiors and brought a large number of ore specimens for detailed inspection.

Through further understanding of Resulihan's work, Li Ping'an basically concluded that he should have silicosis.

Silicosis is caused by long-term inhalation of free silica dust.

This disease cannot be cured because large-scale nodular changes have occurred in the lungs, and the human body's alveoli cannot be regenerated through drugs, so it cannot be completely treated. It can only relieve symptoms such as coughing and asthma.

If you want a complete cure, you can only have a lung transplant.

obviously.

In this era, lung transplantation is not possible. Even if a suitable lung source can be found, even if the transplant is successful, the rejection problem is not easy to solve, and the patient still will not survive long.

Li Pingan took the patient back to the outpatient room.

Not only is Mu Yuan still there, but the physician, Wu Ze and others have also not left.

Having found the cause of his illness, Resulihan thought Li Ping'an might be able to cure his disease, and he was a little excited.

Li Ping'an felt a little heavy.

So what if he diagnosed the patient's specific condition?

Generally, pneumoconiosis has no symptoms, but Resulihan's symptoms were quite obvious, which showed that his disease was very serious and had reached the point where it was incurable and could only be treated conservatively.

Mu Yuan saw the contradictory behavior of the two people and asked hurriedly: "Director Li, what is going on? Has the root cause of his disease been found? How to treat it?"

Li Ping'an sighed, told the patient's X-ray examination results, and said: "The lungs have undergone irreversible changes, and only symptomatic treatment can be carried out. It is probably impossible to completely cure the disease."

He did not continue. This was enough. Mu Yuan should know how to treat him.

Resuli Khan turned pale.

What kind of X-ray examination did Director Li take on himself? The cause of the disease was indeed found, but even if it was found, his disease could not be cured?

"Is my disease really incurable?" Resulihan asked anxiously, "How long can we live?"

Even if it is silicosis, if you stay away from the mining area before symptoms are discovered, your life span will be basically the same as that of normal people, and your life span will not be affected.

But it’s hard to say for someone like Resulihan who has already developed corresponding symptoms.

Weak lungs make it easy to be infected with various bacteria, viruses, etc. If you are already infected, even if you control it, your life expectancy will only be five to ten years, not more than ten years.

If the lungs are not infected, life span will also be affected and greatly shortened.

of course.

These are data for later generations.

In this day and age, life expectancy with silicosis is even shorter.

Fortunately.

During the X-ray examination, only the typical features of pneumoconiosis were seen, and no damage caused by the invasion of other pathogens was found.

"It's hard to say. If you stay away from the mining area now, you may survive for five to ten years, or you may survive for ten or even twenty years!" Li Pingan said thoughtfully.

The range of his prediction was a bit wide, but Li Pingan was really not sure.

Resulihan was silent.

Keep him away from the mining area?

How can it be?

He has worked in the mining area for many years and is basically inseparable from the mining area.

If he actively cooperates with treatment, it will be enough for him to live for more than ten or twenty years.

He was now approaching forty, and it would be enough if he could live another twenty years or even fifteen years.

"If I receive treatment, can I live for fifteen years?" Resulihan asked hurriedly.

"Symptomatic treatment!" Li Ping'an did not answer his words, but said to Mu Yuan: "Prescribe him some more penicillin and oxytetracycline tablets!"

Just about to leave.

He turned around and asked: "Your medical expenses..."

"Medical expenses can be reimbursed!" Resulihan said hurriedly: "We are waiting for the mineral test results at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and will stay in the capital for a few days before leaving. During this time, I can go to your hospital to cooperate with the treatment. The superior will help reimburse the fee!”

After Li Pingan finished speaking, he left and returned to the surgeon's office.

After Ran Qian left, she also left her independent office to Li Ping'an, but he didn't go there often. Most of the time, he still worked in the big office. The small office was used as a storage room. At first, Xiao Lu and others just put some lunch boxes there. , and soon Zeng Jia, Jiang Daqiao and others also put their things there. In the end, even Wu Ze and Wang Chunyan also put their belongings there.

Xiaolu and others prepared a patient for surgery, while Li Pingan and others went for surgery.

After the operation, he thought of the silicosis patient again. Unfortunately, there was still no better treatment.

Wu Ze's prescription was very effective in treating coughs, asthma, dyspnea, and lung lesions caused by abnormal factors. Mu Yuan asked Wu Ze to help prescribe the prescription, and also prescribed some penicillin and oxytetracycline.

Even Li Pingan himself said that Resulihan's disease could not be completely cured. Wang Chunyan was slightly excited. Li Pingan finally admitted that he had an incurable disease.

but.

This time she did not dare to make an easy suggestion and lure the patient to the third hospital to seek treatment from her father-in-law.
