What Dr. Xie meant was that Dr. Yue judged that it was most likely a cerebral infarction.
Because Dr. Liu didn't notice it before, it would be risky to inform the family at this time that it would be risky to send the patient for CT. This is something Dr. Yue needs to consider.
Medical disputes are no joke.
The risk is that early cerebral infarction within a few hours can hardly be detected by CT.
Emergency departments are accustomed to sending patients with brain diseases for CT first. The purpose is not to check for cerebral infarction, but to rule out cerebral hemorrhage.
It goes without saying that cerebral hemorrhage is much more fatal than cerebral infarction.
The correct approach is to suggest sending the patient for an MRI.
Now here’s another question, MRI is more expensive than CT, especially in this day and age. It is not easy to get family members to agree to send such an old man for a CT scan, and it may be difficult for the family members to agree to the suggestion of an MRI.
If the results of the CT examination cannot be obtained, how will I explain it to my family at that time? The family's money does not come from strong winds.
After a period of time, you can wait until the cerebral infarction lesions become more obvious and then do a CT scan. If you put it this way, Dr. Liu and Dr. Li made a mistake by hesitating and not immediately sending the patient for a CT scan. Do you think he hit the right path?
Should we continue to delay the inspection?
Is there any significance in detecting cerebral infarction within 12 hours?
When it comes to cerebral infarction, treatment is similar to that of myocardial infarction. Interventional surgery can also be performed in cases of cerebral infarction in the past. Of course, thrombolytic treatment can be performed following the example of myocardial infarction.
The thrombolysis period has a very obvious time limit.
For cerebral infarction, the window period for thrombolysis is within a few hours, so early examination is definitely meaningful.
If the patient becomes paralyzed due to cerebral infarction, the burden on his family will be even heavier.
Dr. Liu worked hard to communicate with the family members and explain these issues.
The key to medical treatment is early detection and early treatment to maximize economic benefits. Not all laymen may be able to understand the profound meaning of what doctors often say, because it is an academic summary derived from countless clinical cases and clinical research.
After communicating for a while, it turned out that as Dr. Xie and Dr. Yue were worried, it was really difficult for the family to spend thousands of dollars and make up their mind to do an MRI on the patient.
Sometimes medical things can be so outrageous. Perhaps the treatment fee is not as expensive as the examination fee.
"Send the patient for CT scan and call Dr. Lu Yu to tell him the actual situation." Dr. Xie Wanying said.
This is the first time tonight that Chief Hospital Officer Xie of the Department of Surgery has given his professional advice on this case.
Monitor Yue and classmate Li listened, and their minds were suddenly surprised: Is the examination room going to be transferred to classmate Lu?
Dr. Song, who was standing at the door, could not help but touch his chin with his hand: He should have learned from Commissioner Xie earlier. When he was in hospital, he would not be so boring that everyone would "complain" against him.
Dr. Lu Yu, who was in the CT room, finally finished examining Leader Fu's prospective mother-in-law and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ring ring ring, the phone rings.
The monitor called?
"What's the matter, monitor?" Everyone really loved monitor Yue and continued to call him monitor after graduation.
Monitor Yue suddenly behaved like a big girl: "Let me tell you first that this patient is like this. There is no other way but -"
Lu Yu listened to the squad leader's description with wide eyes.
After Class Leader Yue finished speaking, he looked at the ceiling. It’s no wonder that his attitude towards Student Lu was not the same as towards Student Li. Student Li is too poor in knowledge and needs to be dealt with. Student Lu is pitiful because he has to do the most difficult college entrance examination math questions in history.
For this reason, monitor Yue comforted classmate Li: "It's okay, we will follow and take a look."
Lu Yu told the squad leader who might not be aware of it: "Squad leader, you may not have listened to Yongzhe's report. I have a bunch of leaders here."
Thank you for your support, good night, dear friends~
