After dinner, everyone went home.
We encountered some things today, and everyone was very happy at first, but later the topic became serious and the conversation became a bit depressing.
It didn't matter to Zheng Ren. He knew exactly what he could and couldn't do.
Diagnosis, treatment, and surgery are, in the end, only part of the equation, useful for some but of limited use to others.
Only do what you can do. Zheng Ren understands this truth as hard as stone. However, this also avoids random thoughts to the greatest extent, especially for doctors, a profession that faces life and death.
After the show, Lin Yuan drove his small Polo home. Along the way, he thought about how Boss Zheng had undergone surgery and was diagnosed as "cured" by oncology, but he had another strange disease. He felt slightly strange.
Go home, go upstairs, and open the door.
"Girl, you're back." Dean Lin's lover stood up from the sofa and asked with a kind face.
"Mom, I'm back." Lin Yuan changed his shoes, a little listless.
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Dean Lin's lover asked nervously.
In fact, she did not want Lin Yuan to study medicine or engage in medical treatment.
Doctors are under a lot of pressure. They have been doing 996 since the beginning, but they still can't earn the money of 996, not to mention. The old couple had some savings in their lives, so it was perfectly fine for Lin Yuan to live his whole life in a muddle-headed way, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with doing so.
Dean Lin's lover was worried about something else happening to Lin Yuan in the hospital.
There have been too many cases of doctors being killed in hospitals in the past few years. Dean Lin's lover feels a little panicked every time he thinks about this.
"Mom, who dares to bully me?" Lin Yuan hugged Dean Lin's lover's arm and meowed twice.
It's just that Miao Miao Miao is obviously out of shape today, and Dean Lin's lover can tell that he is absent-minded as soon as he hears this.
Something must have happened. Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't say anything, she had no choice but to look at her old Lin.
Dean Lin asked gently: "Girl, your medical team had dinner tonight, didn't you go out to play?"
"I met a patient that Boss Zheng had operated on before. He developed symptoms of split personality. We chatted for a while and then dispersed." Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, his ponytail swaying and listless.
"Split personality?" Dean Lin was surprised.
"Yes, I had a combined pancreaticoduodenectomy last year. I asked Professor Dongyang to do the surgery, but it didn't work out. Later, Boss Zheng came on stage and cut out the tumor." Lin Yuan said, "The postoperative review was fine, but He split into two people a few months ago."
"Split into two people?" Dean Lin and his lover were stunned at the same time.
In the mind of Dean Lin's lover, it's like a horror movie, where a person splits in the middle, and then the other half of the body grows out.
Dean Lin knew what his wife was thinking and immediately explained to her what it meant.
"Although this kind of situation doesn't happen often, it still happens." Dean Lin then told Lin Yuan: "A few years ago, there was a patient who had a liver and gallbladder surgery, but the gauze fell into his stomach."
"and after?"
"How is it possible? All kinds of inspections have been done and no problems have been found." Dean Lin said, "It's just..."
"Old Lin, there is cloth in the belly, can you still see it? The clothes don't seem to show up, no one has done the examination to take off all the clothes." Dean Lin's lover asked.
"The medical gauze is not only covered with gauze, but also has a developing strip, which is called developing gauze. Once the X-ray is taken, you can tell whether there is something in the stomach, which is different from when I was young."
"When you were young, so-and-so seemed to have put the hemostatic forceps in the patient's stomach." Dean Lin's lover was nagging.
"Otherwise, we have to check three times and seven times now. If it is a minor surgery, 20 minutes will be wasted just checking the instruments." Dean Lin said.
"It's not a waste of time, this is what should be done."
Dean Lin deliberately gossiped a few words, but looking at his girl's gloomy expression, she didn't know whether it was because she was tired from work or because she was frightened by meeting a patient with a split personality.
The situation she mentioned was indeed serious. Dean Lin had never seen this kind of thing in so many years, dividing himself into two people, each living a different life.
"Girl, what did your boss Zheng say?" Dean Lin asked tentatively.
"He said that surgery can only cure real diseases. He is still unwilling to diagnose mental illnesses. He just said that the patient may be under too much pressure, which leads to a constant escape mentality." Lin Yuandao, "He suggested that the patient Go get some psychological counseling.”
"If you want to do clinical work, you have seen too many life and death incidents, and many people will become indifferent." Dean Lin said: "If you want to be a good doctor, you must first settle yourself."
"I know." Lin Yuan rubbed his head on Dean Lin's arm and said with a smile: "I can do it on my own, I don't need you to provide me with psychological counseling. Besides, I don't even know the patient, so don't worry."
After saying that, Lin Yuan said: "I'm going to use the simulator to practice surgery again, and then I'll wash up and go to bed."
Seeing Lin Yuan waving his ponytail back to the house, Dean Lin's lover whispered: "Old Lin, is the girl okay?"
"Do you still remember the time I drank too much when I was young?" Dean Lin asked.
"The one where a gangster went to extort money, injured the man of the house, and was beaten to death by his children?" Dean Lin's lover still remembers this incident.
Dean Lin nodded.
That happened a long time ago. Two bully-like young people who were running rampant in the village went to make trouble in the house of an honest and responsible person. The man of the house was knocked to the ground, and while they were wreaking havoc, the young boy of twelve or thirteen years old rushed up with a stick.
One gangster ran away, but the other one was beaten with bruises all over his body. There are no serious injuries, such as fractures or other diseases. But it was complicated by acute renal failure, and the patient died not long after arriving at the hospital.
When he was dying, his whole body was swollen. He sat on the bed and whispered to the young Dean Lin to save him.
If he were to be sent directly to dialysis now for acute renal failure, he would get better quickly after ten days and a half of dialysis plus other treatments.
But at that time, there were not many dialysis machines to be found in the entire imperial capital, and they were all packed with people. The hospital where President Lin worked did not have a dialysis machine at all, so he could only watch the patients die helplessly.
Regardless of whether they are good or evil, doctors are not the police and cannot control that much. Before dying, the patient looked pitifully at Dean Lin, and the words he asked him to save his life still seem to be echoing in his ears after so many years.
After that incident, Dean Lin was mentally depressed for a long time.
"That's what it's like to be a doctor. If you practice repeatedly, you will be a qualified doctor if you pass it. If you can't pass it, then you should do something else early."
