Arriving at the ward, Zhao Yuan examined the girl.
Meningioma is a very troublesome disease. Any doctor wants to clean it up at once, but it is particularly troublesome to actually deal with it.
This thing is like a weed that grows again in the spring breeze.
The next counterattack will be more ferocious than the last one.
The previous operations had caused huge trauma to the girl's body, but her mood was still stable. She was probably used to it because she was often hospitalized.
After Zhao Yuan finished the physical examination, he did not leave directly, but called the girl's grandmother outside.
"You have been giving me this and that all the time recently. I appreciate it. Please don't continue to give me gifts in the future. First, I know that your family situation is not very good. Your child's illness has caused a huge financial burden. Money can Use it wisely; secondly, the hospital has clear regulations not to accept anything from the patient's family members. I accepted it because I was afraid you would think too much about it. I converted the things into money and charged them to the hospitalization card. .”
Grandma looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise and asked uneasily, "Director Zhao, did it cause trouble to you? Was it punished by the dean? Or was it reported by other colleagues? The things I gave were not valuable, so it shouldn't be that troublesome. . How about I explain it to you?"
Zhao Yuan waved his hand, "You are worrying too much. The matter is not as serious as you think. Don't worry when the child is sent to us, I will do my best to cure her. In addition, I have a problem, and it has always been you Guard the child, where are the parents of the child?"
There was a trace of helplessness on the corner of the grandmother's mouth, "Young people have to go to work, otherwise where will the money come from to treat their children?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "The operation will be scheduled for tomorrow. If your parents are here, try to let them come. Any operation has risks. Making money is important, and companionship is equally important."
Grandma said, "I'll call them later."
The next morning.
Zhao Yuan went to the ward and met the girl's parents.
Zhao Yuan arranged for Zhang Qinmo to perform a preoperative examination on the girl, and then called her parents and grandmother to the office.
"Now for the pre-operative conversation, let me tell you about the patient's surgical plan. I have had several surgeries before, and the results were actually good.
However, children's brain tumors are more cunning, hiding deeper and infiltrating into brain tissue. It takes 5-10 years for benign meningiomas to relapse, while tumors that grow locally and infiltrate can relapse within one year.
The site that appeared this time was not the site of the previous two surgeries, so another approach was needed. In addition, there will be temporary difficulty in moving two fingers after the operation. "
Zhao Yuan patiently explained the details of the operation to the three of them.
Having had previous experience, they quickly understood what Zhao Yuan meant.
"If you have no objection, then sign it."
"Doctor, I want to ask a question. Is the child's illness related to his living habits?" the girl's mother suddenly asked.
Zhao Yuan frowned, "The occurrence of any disease is related to living habits, but diseases like meningioma are more related to the child's own condition."
The girl's mother frowned, "I want to ask more directly, the child is brought to the elderly. Is it because the elderly have problems with their hygiene and living habits, so..."
Zhao Yuan glanced at grandma on the right.
Grandma lowered her head and said nothing. It was obvious that she was trying her best to endure the grievances in her heart.
Zhao Yuan did not respond directly, "The top priority is to complete the operation!"
We often encounter various problems at work, including family conflicts.
The relationship between husband and wife breaks down, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is incompatible.
It is difficult for an upright official to stop household affairs.
Doctors are not judges and should not interfere too much.
When the operation began, Zhao Yuan was the surgeon and Qin Yi served as the first assistant.
Qin Yi knew about this operation, and there was a high probability that Zhao Yuan would not give him a chance.
In the face of recurring meningiomas, more thorough removal is required to reduce the probability of recurrence.
The fact that the patient's grandmother would send Zhao Yuan bits and pieces of things every day spread widely in the department. Although the doctor tried his best to ensure that he did not empathize with the patient, humans are not ruthless.
The child's grandmother's seemingly inconspicuous gesture actually impressed the doctor.
Otherwise, according to Zhao Yuan's surgical schedule, the little girl's surgery would have to be scheduled for at least two months later.
According to Qin Yi's judgment, staged resection is actually better for this operation, but Zhao Yuan planned to perform a one-time resection because it would not make the time span longer and therefore require higher technical requirements.
Hand stability is very important when operating instruments within a few centimeters or even millimeters.
To "move" in a space measured in millimeters, the equipment can't get much thicker.
Operating within a distance of about 2 millimeters requires doctors to be very familiar with the anatomy of the brain, such as the shape of blood vessels and nerves, so that they can accurately separate the tumor boundaries.
In addition, there is a key word in neurosurgery, which is "balance"!
It is necessary not only to remove the tumor as much as possible, but also to protect the patient's neurological function to the maximum extent. If the adhesion between the tumor and blood vessels is particularly severe, the tumor may not be completely removable in order to protect nerve function. However, the more tumor remains, the higher the recurrence rate.
If you want the tumor to be cleared more perfectly, you have to fight for time.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan performed this operation very carefully and took a very long time. It lasted from morning to evening and was finally over.
Qin Yi felt that Zhao Yuan's level seemed to have improved again.
When Zhao Yuan walked out of the operating room, the girl's family members immediately greeted him.
"The surgery was well done and the cleaning was very clean."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhao." The girl's mother's eyes were red.
Zhao Yuan glanced at the child's grandmother in the corner, and whispered to the child's mother, "Come to my office."
The girl's mother was a little strange, thinking that Zhao Yuan wanted to talk to her about the child's later recovery.
After entering the house, Zhao Yuan filled her with a glass of water in a paper cup, and then took out a piece of paper from the drawer.
The paper records what the child's grandmother gave Zhao Yuan while he was hospitalized.
The girl's mother looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise, "Director Zhao, what does this mean?"
Zhao Yuan said softly, "Here are the things your mother-in-law has given me recently."
The girl's mother didn't know why Zhao Yuan mentioned this matter, and said in an uneasy tone, "This matter was her own idea, and we don't know."
Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said softly, "I am not blaming her, but I want to tell you through this incident. Although you and the child's grandmother have conflicts, she is sincere to the child. She has been with the child for several days while he was in the hospital waiting for the operation. Be there for the kids. She does her best to try and help the kids."
The girl's mother nodded slightly, "I understand what you mean."
Zhao Yuan said seriously, "Let me answer your question now. The recurrence of meningioma in your child has nothing to do with your living habits. I hope you can take good care of your child. If the family has a good atmosphere, it will help the child recover."
I didn't answer her at that time because I didn't want to intensify the conflict.
Knowing Zhao Yuan's good intentions, the girl's mother stood up and bowed to Zhao Yuan sincerely, "Thank you. I will pay attention to it."
Watch the girl's mother leave.
Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the surgeon must avoid "empathy," he cannot always turn a blind eye to what is happening around him.
Sometimes when I encounter someone, I will always intervene.
He didn't know whether this was right or wrong.
But, at least I feel free from guilt!
