This doctor is not short of money

Chapter 540 Abandoned Hepatitis Children
"He's just amazing."

The young doctor sneered, and said in a low voice, "Just the day before yesterday, he just cured a child with brain hypoplasia, that is, a child with cerebral hypoxia complications."

The two gossipers looked at each other, and their eyes were full of mockery, "He cured when he said he was cured? If he really has the ability, this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine will be his."

The young doctor was very upset. Du Heng was recommended by him to Mei Dong. If Du Heng was not good, it meant that his vision was wrong. How could he bear it.

Still wanting to continue arguing with these two, Mei Dong, who was standing in front, turned his head with a dark face.

Regardless of whether Du Heng is good or not, it is not giving him face as the director, but embarrassing him severely.

"Go out if you don't want to see it, what does it look like on Twitter."

I can hear the conversation of the three of them, so Du Heng, who is only three steps away from me, must also be able to hear clearly.

If he, Meidong, doesn't make a gesture now, it means that they look down on Du Heng as a whole.

Although Du Heng must be a professional person, and he would not kill this child, but this person was completely offended to death.

Mei Dong told the three of them to shut up, turned to look at Du Heng, and when he wanted to say sorry, he met Du Heng's gaze when he looked back.

Mei Dong was a little embarrassed by his lax management and made this joke, just about to speak, "Du..."

But Du Heng spoke first, "Director Mei, do you have needles for traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Yes, yes, there used to be a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in our department. When he left, he left a set of needles, and we didn't throw them away."

"That's good." Du Heng nodded, "Prepare a triangular needle, and then prepare a long filiform needle, disinfect with high-concentration alcohol, and then clean it up."

"I'll do it right away." Mei Dong agreed, and immediately looked at the young doctor behind him, "Did you hear me, hurry up and get ready."

The young doctor was stunned for a moment, "Director, where are the needles you mentioned?"

"The top shelf of the first cabinet in my office, a black wooden box."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Knowing the target, the young doctor didn't sit still and hurried to prepare.

Mei Dong also turned his head to Du Heng, "Dean Du, can this child be saved?"

Du Heng was silent for a while, and then he said, "I don't know what the standard of rescue, Director Mei, is. I can only say that it can be alleviated and recovered as much as possible. As for the extent to which the child can recover, I don't know."

So it can be cured?

Director Mei's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Just restore it to the level of that child in your video."

Du Heng shook his head, "One child has one physique, I can't guarantee that it will be restored to that level."

Du Heng felt a little tired.

It's no joke to return to the level of the child before.

Although the child didn't tell anyone clearly, but judging from the child's performance when he was discharged from the hospital, it was developing in the direction of a normal child.

And to reach that level, it is the effect of the child's own intervention from the moment he was born.

Now this child, this symptom has been going on for four days, and it may be almost meaningless to fully recover.

Physical coordination should be able to be corrected, but in terms of intelligence, I am afraid that it will be slightly behind children of the same age.

When treating the previous child, Du Heng also read a lot of relevant literature on children with cerebral palsy.

Then, according to the initial recovery of the child at that time, he probably made the following classifications:
The first category involves interventional treatment after birth. If the mother’s body develops well, such children have a chance to return to the range of normal children.

The second category, there is no timely intervention after birth, but within one month, there will be slight intellectual impairment.

The third category, receiving treatment within two years of age, plus intensive training the day after tomorrow, the child may have slow intellectual development and slightly uncoordinated limbs.

The fourth category, children over two years old, treatment plus intensive training the day after tomorrow, the extent to which they can recover depends on God's will.

Of course, these are all temporarily made by Du Heng.Because the current case sample is only one case, many things are inferred, and many of them must be inaccurate.

Therefore, when the sample size continues to increase in the follow-up treatment of that child in the later stage, these four items will definitely change to a certain extent, and my own treatment plan will definitely be further improved.

Now Du Heng is not the Du Heng he was a year ago. He can't say a word that is particularly guaranteed.

This is not only to protect oneself, but also to prevent patients and their families from having high expectations, so as to avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Soon, the young doctor who went to get the needles came back.

Du Heng didn't talk nonsense, and still used the previous steps, first pricking the blood with the three-edged needle, and then pricking with the fine needle.

But this time the blood pricking was not to wake up the baby, but to stretch the child's meridians.

Abnormal muscle tone and convulsions for four consecutive days put enormous pressure on the child's meridians, muscles, and blood vessels.

The purpose of pricking blood has changed, but the purpose of pricking has not changed, and Twelve Wells is an essential point.

For the previous child, it took Du Heng about 5 minutes to make the child cry, with sweat on his forehead.

But for this child, it took Du Heng 10 to [-] minutes to make the child cry for the first time, but the tube stuck to the corner of the child's mouth and deep into the throat became an obstacle to prevent the child from crying.

Seeing this, Du Heng immediately stopped acupuncture, and quickly pulled out the feeding tube from the child's mouth carefully.

Following the normal crying of the child, the young doctor standing behind directly clenched his fists and said "yeah".

Just like the situation in the video, this Dean Du can really cure this disease.

And the two women standing at the back, although they also looked shocked, murmured softly, "The child used to cry too, so what's there to be proud of. And the child just cried a little louder, and the fundamental problem has not been solved. "

This time the voice was very quiet, but it was still heard by the young doctor.

But this time, instead of arguing with reason, he turned his head and chuckled, and then went back to watch Du Heng's treatment process.

Mei Dong was also very happy, but he was more calm than the young doctor, "Dr. Du, what should we do next?"

"I need a prescription for medicine."

"Okay, Dean Du will open it, and I will sign it."

Du Heng twitched his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything. After getting a pen and paper, he began to write the prescription.Then, the task of running errands fell on the young doctor again.

With the previous child, Du Heng's first phase of work is over.

But not so with this child.

When the young doctor left with the prescription, Du Heng began to massage the child and relax the muscles of the whole body.

You know, this child has experienced four days of abnormal muscle tone and convulsions, which put the child's muscles and meridians in a state of tension.

With Du Heng's massage, the child slowly stopped crying, and the pink and tender mouth also made a sucking movement.

And the child's sucking action made Mei Dong completely smile.

Then it is to breastfeed the child, followed by medicine.

The doctors here are all Western medicine, and it is the first time for everyone to cooperate. To be honest, Du Heng is not at ease with them.

And for this treatment, Du Heng also has the idea of ​​collecting data, so doing these things is all done by himself.

Mei Dong didn't know Du Heng's thoughts, and he didn't dare to let Du Heng withdraw at this time, so he let Du Heng stay with the child.

Later development was the same as that of the previous child.

But there is still a difference, that is, after the child defecates, what is discharged is not the white jelly substance as before, but a slightly yellow jelly substance in the white.

This made Du Heng look at the slightly yellowish gelatinous substance, slightly dazed.

He has expectations and guesses that the child will have different symptoms and reactions.

But when these predictions really came out, and there was a slight deviation, he was still dazed.

As the director of the neonatal intensive care unit, Mei Dong is very busy.

But today, he was really reluctant to take half a step away.

What Du Heng is doing now is replicating the glory of the old predecessors in their hospital. He doesn't want to miss this historical moment.

At the same time, he also had the idea that Director Sun of the Medical Affairs Department said in his heart. How could such a person be allowed to live in a muddy pond like the city's women and children? The child is reflective and feverish.

He didn't want to deal with other things, he wanted to see Du Heng for treatment, but other doctors didn't let him go, some things had to be decided by him, the director.

So when he was watching with relish, a middle-aged female doctor stood beside him, and interrupted his 'Yaxing', "Director, there is a child that needs you to come and see."

Mei Dong didn't turn his head, looked at the child with straight eyes and asked, "What's the situation, can you all handle it?"

"The jaundiced baby girl who arrived three days ago."

"Oh, I have the impression, what's the situation now?"

"I've been exposed to blue light for three days, and I've used conventional treatments and medicines, but the jaundice persists." The middle-aged female doctor frowned, but her eyes caught Du Heng who was busy.

This person looks a little familiar.

But she didn't care, and continued, "In the morning, we wanted the father of the child to send a sample to the blood center, but the parent of the child refused. I just went to work at noon, and I went to find the father of the child again, but he still disagreed."

Mei Dong was no longer interested in watching, and frowned tightly.

The current father is the family member that he hates the most.

If they don’t cooperate in doing this, and they say it costs money to do that, in the end, if something goes wrong, they will do the most disgusting thing.

"Why doesn't he do it?"

The middle-aged female doctor hesitated, "The child found hepatosplenomegaly and hepatitis."

"hepatitis?"

"En." The female doctor took a careful look at Mei Dong, for fear that Mei Dong would give her a big meal.

Every newborn has jaundice, but some children are mild and pale, and it disappears on its own.But some children will have a relatively high level of jaundice, which must be treated before it can subside.

Infant hepatitis is one of the most troublesome ones. In addition to causing jaundice, it can also damage the liver function of the child and is prone to metabolic disorders. It is a disease with a critical condition and a high fatality rate.

Such a disease occurred, but it was not reported to the director, so the female doctor was a little nervous at this time.

But Mayton understood these doctors.

They have seen and treated infant hepatitis. Although none of them are particularly serious, they are considered experienced, and there must be a reason why they did not report it.

"Go on."

"The conventional medication has been unable to control it, so we suspect that the child has not only hepatitis, but also other diseases, just like asking the child for a blood test.

But the child's father doesn't know where he heard it, saying that even if the infant hepatitis is cured, there will be serious sequelae, which can be regarded as a disability, so the child's father is not too active now, and feels a little like letting the child run its course. "

The middle-aged female doctor was a little helpless, "If the child's mother hadn't strongly demanded treatment, the child might have been taken out of the hospital to die."

Mei Dong's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Their department has long been bearish on the child's life and death.

But it doesn't mean that they are cold-blooded, they just learned to block certain negative feelings and learn to quickly adjust their emotions.

But now hearing that there are such parents, they are still distressed and helpless.

But is the child's father wrong?

The baby's hepatitis has lasted for so many days, and it may have caused damage to the liver function. Even if it is revived, what the baby's father worried about will come true.

People are worried that their children will become disabled, so there is no problem.

If the damage to the liver function is particularly severe, the family members and children will really have to live in pain for the rest of their lives.

But as a father, Mei Dong, as the child's therapist, just let his child wait to die like this, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

"What methods did you use for treatment?" Mei Dong asked in a deep voice.

The female doctor started chattering, and the more she talked, Mei Dong's brows became tighter and her expression became darker.

As far as the treatment methods mentioned by the female doctor are concerned, they are also the treatment methods he thought of.

So if the parents of the children insist on not doing the blood test now, then they have no other better way.

Mei Dong took a deep breath, "Go, take me to see the child." He was going to make the last effort.

Du Heng kept his head down, massaging the child in his hand.

He also abides by the principle that he is an outsider, and does not interrupt or speak.

But he still couldn't bear to hear the choice of the child's parents.

Just when he was hesitating whether to speak, Mei Dong, who had just walked, stopped, "President Du, can you let it go for a while?"

"Of course, the child is now in a stable period, as long as someone takes care of it." Du Heng immediately replied to Mei Dong with a nod.

"Then...do you want Dean Du to come with me to see this child?" Mei Dong issued his most sincere invitation.
