A busy day at Capital Children's Hospital starts early in the morning.
Xie Wanying, who came to the hospital early, walked on the road and said on the phone: "Mr. Zhuang, are you at the door?"
"I was stopped at the door of your department, saying that your medical staff will not let you in because of ward rounds." Mr. Zhuang said.
Quicken your pace and walk to the Second Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Department. Xie Wanying shouted, "Teacher Zhuang."
Mr. Zhuang stood side by side with another gray-haired old woman, and introduced to her: "She is my classmate Mr. Ge, we mentioned it on the phone last night."
It's a coincidence. In the phone conversation last night, I learned that Lin Qiaowei, a 12-bed patient in their group, is the granddaughter of Teacher Ge.
"She was flustered after running at school. We thought she had a cold, and giving her traditional Chinese medicine and ginseng to invigorate Qi didn't help, so she went to the hospital for an examination and found out." Teacher Ge talked about the origin of her child's visit to the hospital.
(I said before that the reason why the girl's disease is not easy to detect.)
"The doctor talked to our family members before the operation." Teacher Ge said, "It's about the operation."
Xie Wanying recalled that this family was quite special, and they showed completely different attitudes over and over again on whether the patient should undergo surgery or not.
For example, this family has connections in the capital, and the Quartet has inquired for a long time and made a special trip to hang up the name of the fairy brother to let the fairy brother take the lead. As a result, during the preoperative conversation, he suddenly changed his mind and said that he needed to continue to think about it, which caused the patient's operation date to be delayed again and again.
The beds in the top three top hospitals should not be wasted like this, which made Dr. Cheng Yuchen, who was in charge of the beds, very anxious.
What are the family members hesitating about
"We heard from Dr. Chen in Guozhi that a seven-year-old child underwent this kind of surgery in his country, and found scoliosis three years later. This news made her parents panic." Jian is a familiar person, Ge The teacher confessed to Xie Wanying the feelings of their family.
What the family members struggled with was the patient's operation method: a small incision on the right side of the thoracotomy. As mentioned before, this surgical method is controversial among doctors.
To sum up, the whole thing is like this: the family members first heard that the small incision on the right side of the thoracotomy is good, and there will be no big scars. Considering that children are not like old people, they will have a hard demand for employment and marriage in the future, so I came to Brother Shenxian for right side incision surgery. During this period, I should have heard other theories, and went to see Dr. Chen from Guozhi to learn about the flaws of this operation, and finally retreated.
12-bed family members This type of patient family members is really common, commonly known as wall grass, what people say is what they say. Like this kind of family members, even if you provide them with comprehensive information, they will still sway there as usual. It's not that they don't have their own opinions, but they can't take any risks. They belong to people who don't take risks since they were young. If one day this matter is really risky to do, it can only be pushed by others, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to do it.
It was Dr. Cheng Yuchen himself who talked to the family members before. Xie Wanying had little contact with the family members of the 12-bed patient. Hearing that the family members showed such a side today, she really wanted to pinch her heart for this young patient.
What is Xie afraid of as a doctor
In the top tertiary pediatric cardiac surgery department, every day, family members take their children's medical records and ask doctors through various channels, whether they can perform surgery, and whether it is worthwhile to continue treatment. The proportion of family members who inquired and finally chose to give up surgical treatment for children can reach a proportion that outsiders can hardly imagine, and more than half of them are normal.
