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

Chapter 593 News about Lou Xiao'e

After Xu Damao was discharged from the hospital, he started to have some ideas.

He had undergone a craniotomy. Although the operation was successful, the boy was left with psychological trauma and always felt that he was dying.

How could he do heavy work in this state?

As soon as Xu Damao started working in the fitter workshop, he thought about asking for leave again. He explained the situation to the workshop director, and this guy wanted to take another month's leave.

At that time, few people knew about craniotomy. Even the director of the fitter workshop did not know about it. Could Xu Damao recover after the craniotomy? His body would definitely be damaged.

After thinking it over, the workshop director finally agreed to his request for leave.

Xu Damao has another month of vacation.

He did nothing else during this month but thought every day about how he could get his leader to help him transfer his job.

Xu Damao didn't want to work in the machinist's workshop anymore. He wanted to go back to the Propaganda Department to work as a film projectionist.

just.

Someone has already taken his place.

Xu Damao can't go back.

He consulted several leaders including Director Yang, and even said that he had undergone a craniotomy and was already a disabled person, and that his health was not good enough for him to do heavy work.

At this time, the little things between him and Li Huaide were no longer a secret even in the steel mill.

The leaders hated both him and Li Huaide, so how could they allow him to go back to the Propaganda Department as a projectionist?

No matter who Xu Damao gave gifts to, no one helped him no matter how he argued.

In the end, this guy had no choice but to go back to the locksmith workshop obediently.

If you can't do heavy work, you can do odd jobs, such as handing tools to other workers.

The work is not hard, but it is impossible to get a salary increase.

Craniotomy is an extremely complex brain surgery used to treat a variety of diseases and trauma. Although almost all side effects of craniotomy depend on the patient's condition and the type of surgery, surgical sequelae are inevitable.

Headache is the most common side effect and usually develops within a few days to weeks after surgery but may persist for months or longer after surgery.

Before the holiday was over, Xu Damao started to have a slight headache.

In that era, this condition occurred in almost all patients undergoing craniotomy.

Xu Damao only had a slight headache, he was still very lucky.

Since the surgery involves the brain, memory function may also be affected after the surgery.

Some patients may experience problems such as short-term or long-term memory impairment.

Other neurological functions may also be affected, such as problems with concentration, thinking, and comprehension.

Some patients may experience movement and sensory problems such as limb weakness, convulsions, and paralysis.

Apart from headaches, Xu Damao did not suffer any other sequelae.

When he talked about this with his mother, Zhou, she advised him to go to Jingcheng University Hospital to find Professor Liu to find out what was going on.

Did Li Ping'an not perform the operation successfully at all, which led to the side effects?

Since he had nothing to do at home, Xu Damao actually went to Beijing University with his mother to find Professor Liu.

On the road.

Zhou told Xu Damao that Professor Liu was an authority on neurosurgery and that his skills in neurosurgery were much better than Li Ping'an's.

If Li Ping'an really didn't perform his surgery well, Professor Liu would definitely be able to see it.

Zhou instigated her son and said that if there were any problems with Li Ping'an's surgery, they would go to the Sixth Hospital to cause trouble, and then ask Li Ping'an to compensate them!

The Xu family will not let the Sixth Hospital get away with it!

Xu Damao agreed.

but.

Although he longs for compensation, Xu Damao still hopes that his body will be fine and get better slowly.

The mother and son went to the Sixth Hospital to find Professor Liu.

Professor Liu was shocked after Xu Damao told him about his situation.

He didn't think that Xu Damao's side effects after the operation were caused by Li Ping'an, but was shocked that Xu Damao had so few side effects.

In addition to some side effects, there are complications in most cases.

Even during surgery, complications can occur, such as heavy bleeding, which can cause the patient to lose consciousness, and permanent sequelae are common.

Xu Damao just had a slight headache.

Professor Liu believes that the operation performed by Li Pingan was very successful.

Professor Liu knew clearly what Xu Damao's condition was like before the operation.

At that time, Xu Damao had lost consciousness and was in a coma.

He thought that this guy could not be saved, but he didn't expect that Li Ping'an's operation was successful and Xu Damao actually saved his life.

Professor Liu agreed with Li Ping'an so much that he didn't even prescribe any medicine for Xu Damao, but told him to go see Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an is the chief surgeon. He should be very familiar with Xu Damao's condition and should be able to give a more appropriate treatment plan.

The Xu family mother and son were stunned.

Only then did they realize how successful Li Ping'an's operation was.

After leaving Jingcheng University Hospital, Xu Damao asked his mother to go home and went directly to the Sixth Hospital to find Li Pingan.

After listening to Xu Damao's narration, Li Ping'an had already guessed the cause of the disease.

In later generations, craniotomy was not uncommon, and the side effects and complications of this surgery had been studied quite thoroughly.

Headache after craniotomy may be a normal physiological phenomenon or it may be caused by edema of the patient's brain cells.

It may be normal for patients to experience headaches after craniotomy. This is because the patient's intracranial pressure increases after surgery, which can cause headaches. At the same time, the patient's brain may also experience pain due to the surgery. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and can be relieved by taking oral painkillers such as ibuprofen.

After craniotomy, the patient's brain tissue will be damaged and brain cell edema will occur, which will compress the patient's normal intracranial structure, causing a sense of pressure and causing headaches.

Patients will experience headaches after craniotomy.

In this case, intravenous drip can be used under the guidance of a doctor to administer appropriate antibiotics.

Cerebral edema is an increase in brain volume due to an increase in water content in the brain.

Patients may experience symptoms such as headache, increased vomiting, restlessness, drowsiness, and coma.

Cerebral edema can damage the function and structure of the patient's brain tissue.

If cerebral edema is not treated promptly, it will cause serious damage to the brain and even lead to brain death in severe cases.

It can be seen that cerebral edema is very harmful to the human body.

After a brief inquiry and considering all of Xu Damao's symptoms, Li Ping'an believed that Xu Damao had mild cerebral edema and prescribed him intravenous penicillin.

Streptomycin is generally only used for intramuscular injection and is harmful to the kidneys and nerves.

So Li Ping'an did not let him use streptomycin, but prescribed a Chinese medicine prescription instead.

The prescription uses Magnolia officinalis, Atractylodes macrocephala, papaya, costusroot, cardamom, dried tangerine peel, white Poria, Poria cocos, Alisma orientalis, Akebia trifoliata, and Vaccaria segetalis.

Take the above Chinese medicine decoction, one dose per day.

This recipe has the effect of warming and tonifying the spleen yang, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.

It is mainly used to treat cerebral edema caused by spleen yang deficiency.

This is not a classic prescription, but Li Ping'an of later generations saw an old doctor using this prescription when he was rotating in the department of neurosurgery, and the effect was quite good.

About a week later, Xu Damao's headache symptoms improved. If he didn't try to feel it, he wouldn't really feel the headache.

Li Ping'an changed his prescription.

The prescription uses Alisma orientalis, Poria cocos, red Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, cinnamon bark, ginseng, Bupleurum chinense, Ophiopogon japonicus, Chinese yam, Astragalus membranaceus, and Stephania tetrandra.

Take the above Chinese medicine decoction, one dose per day.

This recipe has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.

It is mainly used to treat cerebral edema caused by spleen deficiency.

After another ten days or so, Xu Damao's headache symptoms disappeared.

but.

This guy might have become a frightened bird. Even though he no longer had any symptoms, he still wanted Li Pingan to prescribe some Chinese medicine for him so that he could take it regularly.

Li Ping'an prescribed Shengshu Rehmannia Decoction for him.

Shengshu Rehmannia Decoction is made with raw Rehmannia root, cooked Rehmannia root and raw licorice as the main ingredients.

The prescription uses 10g of raw rehmannia root, 10g of cooked rehmannia root, 10g of raw licorice, 20g of raw white peony root, 20g of seaweed, 20g of Aconitum, 20g of Rubus oleifera root, 20g of Gastrodia elata seed, 20g of Safflower seed, 20g of Corn silk, 30g of raw Cyperus rotundus, 30g of Parsley, 30g of Glechoma longituba, and 2g of Panax notoginseng powder (taken with water).

This prescription can not only be used for decoction but also can be used as a medicinal food.

During the recovery process after craniotomy, the patient's body needs adequate nutrition and proper conditioning to promote wound healing and physical recovery.

The main ingredient of Rehmannia glutinosa decoction, Rehmannia glutinosa, has the effects of nourishing blood and yin, replenishing essence and filling marrow. It is helpful for patients with physical weakness and lack of qi and blood after surgery.

Chinese medicines such as Chuanxiong, Danshen, and Panax notoginseng are often used to improve microcirculation, promote blood circulation, and relieve brain tissue edema.

Li Ping'an added Chuanxiong and Danshen to the original prescription. After giving the prescription to Xu Damao, this guy did not get the medicine from the Sixth Hospital, but went to the infirmary of the Zha Steel Factory to get the medicine. He thought that if he had this prescription and the medicine prescribed by the infirmary, he would have a legitimate reason to ask for leave.

Xu Damao was jumping up and down but still hadn't resumed his job as a projectionist.

After the holiday, I continued to work at the steel factory.

Although he had no physical discomfort, he was still very unconfident and was timid when working. He never passed the fitter grade examination and could only get the minimum wage, which was worse than Liu Yue.

The Sixth Hospital has performed a craniotomy and the technology is considered mature.

Li Ping'an reported to his superiors that he wanted to set up a department of neurosurgery.

The superiors agreed, and not only provided the Sixth Hospital with all the surgical instruments needed for neurosurgery, but also sent three doctors over.

One of them, a doctor named Tian Qiong, is the chief surgeon in the Department of Neurosurgery at Union Hospital.

After this person was transferred here, Li Pingan discussed with the old dean and appointed him as the director of neurosurgery.

Li Pingan is not included.

Although the Sixth Hospital has established a neurosurgery department, there are only three people who can perform related operations.

even so.

These three people are very free, and they may not come across a miracle surgery even in a year or two.

In addition to studying relevant theories, Tian Qiong and other two sometimes also go to the surgery department to perform operations.

In this way, the surgical tasks are shared and the pressure is much relieved.

Li Pingan has more time to devote to hospital management and laboratory.

After the difficult period was over, both food ration quotas and other tickets increased a lot.

even.

Eggs were supplied to the people again.

Every household can get some fresh egg tickets every month, and can use them to buy a small amount of eggs.

People in special industries such as doctors can get more fresh egg tickets every month.

A lot of things happened during difficult times.

Xu Damao ended up with his family destroyed.

Yi Zhonghai's family was even downsized and relocated to the countryside.

The Jia family became orphans and widows.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui decided that it would be better to let the Li family live in the courtyard house.

If there were a doctor in the courtyard, he could take care of them.
