No doctor wants to pick up an HIV-infected patient, especially in surgery, where surgeons have contact with body fluids and blood. It is too easy for occupational exposure and infection by patients.
Generally speaking, ordinary hospitals will recommend that HIV-infected people go to specialized infectious disease hospitals for treatment. Infectious disease hospitals must have better isolation and protection conditions than ordinary hospitals.
"What's the situation? Why were you transferred to our hospital?" the night shift nurse asked the doctor.
Nurses are also exposed to great occupational risks. Drawing blood from patients, etc. are all high-risk operations.
The Ministry of Health stipulates that patients cannot be refused treatment. There must be some special reason why a patient like this was transferred.
Soon, the sound of wheels appeared in the corridor of the department, and the emergency department sent the patient up first.
The patient lying on the lathe was a female patient, only 28 years old, with a body temperature of 39.5 degrees and jaundice.
The family members who came with the patient sent the patient’s medical records of previous treatment at the infectious disease hospital.
The doctors looked through the past medical records and learned that the patient had just undergone laparotomy for common bile duct stones in the infectious disease hospital. After removing the gallstones, a T-tube was left in place for drainage. The postoperative recovery was not very good, so the family members complained a lot about the infectious disease hospital.
Tonight, the patient's condition suddenly became more critical. At the strong request of his family, the infectious disease hospital contacted 120 and sent the patient to the emergency department of the National Association. I didn't contact the National Association before and sent the patient directly to the National Association's emergency department. As for whether the National Association had hospital beds that could admit the patient, the patients and the doctors at the infectious disease hospital couldn't take care of it, so I forced the National Association to admit the patient.
Needless to say, the receiving doctor is disgusted by this transfer without first contacting the receiving hospital. Because after the patient is sent here, the hospital here may not have the ability to treat the patient. It is equivalent to cleaning up the mess of the previous hospital. When something happens to the patient, the hospital and doctor who finally admitted the patient will definitely suffer.
Anyone who is dumped will feel uncomfortable. Song Xuelin took two steps away to calm his a little irritable mind.
I thought that the rescue work in the afternoon was over and the most dangerous patient was sent away. It might be easier tonight, but this patient came.
The two medical students looked at Teacher Song's face and thought that all the talented people in Beijing were not happy. It was obvious that this patient's situation would be very difficult to deal with.
When you admit an HIV-infected person, do you think it's so easy to just take precautions if you're just a patient with an infectious disease?
HIV-infected people have lower immunity than ordinary people, which means that many conditions are more serious than ordinary patients. Serious situations require doctors to perform medical operations that expose them to more occupational risks. Not to mention the risk of infection, the patient may not be cured and die suddenly in the ward.
Song Xuelin's mentality of wanting to explode first and then talk is understandable.
The patient's family secretly observed the doctor's expression and carefully revealed their family's difficulties: "My daughter was infected by someone, and she didn't know she was framed beforehand. After she was infected, she never thought about infecting other people and harming others." .”
Some HIV-infected people think that they are going to die and just want to take revenge on society. They will go out of their way to hide that they are infected and infect other innocent people. From this point of view, this patient did extremely well.
"We will definitely give her good treatment after we take her in," Xie Wanying said to her family members.
Although the doctor's mentality is explosive, he will definitely fulfill his obligations as a doctor.
The family members wiped the corners of their eyes.
