The experience of gastroscopy varies from person to person, and the same goes for colonoscopy.
During the operation of the colonoscopy, the doctor needs to continuously inflate it, and the intestines will bulge and swell!
Some patients will feel - Xiangyun~, but some patients will feel particularly uncomfortable!
Moreover, the intestines of some patients are long and winding, like Jiuquhua Street. Some patients who have undergone surgery still have intestinal adhesions. Therefore, when passing through the more curved sections, the operating doctor needs to pull the endoscope. This can cause abdominal pain.
Therefore, some people enjoy having gastrointestinal endoscopy, while others suffer from it. Then, painless gastroenteroscopy under general anesthesia came into being!
…
As the gastroscopy deepened, Zhou Qiao slowly explored. Suddenly, an abnormal small image flashed across the computer screen, and he caught it with his sharp eyes!
Return and focus!
After careful inspection, it was finally discovered that there was a small bulge in the mucous membrane of Grandpa Murphy's gastric antrum.
Although small, he still couldn't escape Zhou Qiao's eyes!
Zhou Qiao was shocked, Murphy's iceberg-like expression suddenly trembled, and his pupils shrank slightly!
unusual!
Such bulges on the gastric mucosa are absolutely abnormal!
"Let's do pathology, then do a serum marker, and then do an MRI." Zhou Qiao said after pondering for a moment.
"Well, it's up to you." Murphy nodded, her expression even colder, and she had a bad feeling.
MRI can identify lymph node invasion and distant metastasis, and plays a decisive role in determining the depth of tumor invasion and formulating treatment plans.
…
After finally doing a gastroenteroscopy, of course it couldn't end like this. Zhou Qiao continued to explore carefully. After the gastroscopy, he performed a colonoscopy. What if there were lesions in other places?
This is no joke.
Digestive system tumors such as gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and intestinal cancer have high morbidity and mortality rates. In the early stages, there are no special symptoms and they are very difficult to detect!
The only way to detect it early is through gastrointestinal endoscopy!
Other methods, such as CT, magnetic resonance, etc., cannot be replaced.
The earlier it is detected, the higher the 5-year survival rate and the better the prognosis.
Some patients are very resistant to gastrointestinal endoscopy, because it is difficult to accept ordinary gastrointestinal endoscopy, and general anesthesia is afraid of affecting their intelligence!
In fact, a single short session (0.5-4 hours) of general anesthesia does not increase the risk of neurologic pathology.
Moreover, the painless gastrointestinal endoscopy uses short-acting anesthetic drugs, which are metabolized quickly and wake up quickly, so there is no need to worry about this.
Except, of course, for infants and young children.
Research shows that infants and young children under 3 years old are in the period of nervous system development. When they receive anesthesia for more than 3 hours or repeated multiple times, it may cause potential harm to the nervous system. In other cases, anesthesia can cause damage to the nervous system. Can be ignored.
While Zhou Qiao was exploring, he was teaching the students. To their relief, except for the small area they just discovered, there were no other abnormalities in the rest of the area.
That's great! The inspection is over!
About 3 minutes later, Grandpa Murphy woke up, looking confused.
who I am? Where am I?
I feel stupid!
In fact, he just woke up and has not yet come to his senses. It is not that he has become stupid due to general anesthesia.
Soon, in just ten seconds or so, Grandpa Murphy remembered it with a look of astonishment on his face!
"It turns out I was just doing a check-up!"
"I feel so dizzy and want to sleep...Murphy, is grandpa okay?"
Even though Murphy was wearing a hat and a mask, Grandpa Murphy recognized his precious granddaughter at a glance.
"You're okay, we have found the lesion, but don't worry, because it was discovered early, the problem should not be serious." Murphy comforted his grandfather.
Then, her grandpa wanted to get out of bed!
Murphy quickly stopped him: "Lie down and don't get up. Slow down a little."
If you get out of bed at this time, you still have to fall down?
However, Grandpa Murphy refused to cooperate and insisted on struggling to get up. Murphy had no choice but to say: "I will help you get up and sit quietly for a minute or two first."
At Murphy's strong request, with a straight face and glare at him, Grandpa Murphy sat down obediently.
After resting for a while, Murphy helped his grandfather to change clothes. This was because he was afraid that if he fell and injured himself just after waking up from anesthesia, it would be bad.
The old man can't fall.
Back at the Iris Clinic, Grandpa Murphy was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. However, Murphy did not advise him to eat immediately, or even let him drink water.
"Grandpa, please be patient and wait for 2 hours before drinking a few sips of mineral water. If you don't feel nauseated and vomiting after drinking the water, I will take you to eat delicious food, okay?"
After some hard work, Grandpa Murphy agreed.
Of course, delicious foods should not be greasy or difficult-to-digest foods, but should be mainly light and liquid. And don't eat too much.
After observing for about half an hour, there was nothing abnormal about Grandpa Murphy, so Murphy took Grandpa and Grandma home.
Although it was not time to get off work, my grandfather was sick, so Zhou Qiao was naturally humane and accommodating.
Murphy got her driver's license three years ago when she was 16. Her grandfather's classic car looked dilapidated, but the driving experience was actually quite good.
While in the car, Grandma Murphy couldn't help but call her daughter in Los Angeles.
Murphy's mother was also very worried and asked her grandmother to turn on the speakerphone so she could talk to Murphy.
"Murphy, tell mom the truth, is your grandpa's condition okay?"
Murphy thought for a moment and said, "The test results haven't come out yet. Can I tell you when I get the report?"
Murphy's mother was silent for a while and said, "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, I hurriedly went to the vice president to ask for leave.
Because she knows Murphy very well.
Murphy has suffered from autism since she was a child. Many times, even her mother is indifferent. Unexpectedly, this time she spoke to her in a comforting tone for the first time, which scared Murphy's mother on the spot. !
Murphy's mother knew immediately that her father's illness was by no means a minor illness!
She was a little lucky that Murphy went to San Francisco.
"Although Murphy has a withdrawn personality, he is definitely a genius in medicine. He obtained a doctorate in medicine at the age of 19. With such an excellent doctor of medicine following him, daddy, he should be fine, right?"
Murphy's mother comforted herself along the way, feeling as if a cat was scratching her head and beating a drum!
…
Soon, when they arrived at the leader's office, Murphy's mother walked in anxiously because she was very busy at work recently and didn't know whether the leader would approve the leave.
Although this leader is named Vice President (VP), his actual authority is that of department head. Within the company, there are dozens more with the same title.
There is no way, American companies, no matter how big or small, have a proliferation of VPs, which is quite normal. Theoretically, there can be countless, and many companies even crown veteran employees who have worked hard and made great achievements as VPs.
After being translated as "vice president", it has a beautiful illusion that "one person is inferior to ten thousand people".
Before the proliferation of VP titles, C-titles were popular. In other words, there are various chiefs, CEOs, CFOs, CBOs, CDOs... there are twenty or thirty types, and their qualifications are very high.
