Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

  Chapter 668 There is a problem with the lungs

  A middle-aged man brought a little girl to see the doctor around four o'clock.

  The little girl was wearing a black cotton jacket, glasses, a scarf on her face, and gloves on her hands. She did not take it off when she entered the room.

  It’s cold outside and a few degrees below zero, but there is heating in the room. Most people will take them off when they enter the room, otherwise it will be hot.

  But it’s no surprise that Dr. Xiao has never seen anyone in the hospital.

  "Where is it uncomfortable?" Dr. Xiao asked.

  "My daughter always coughs during this time. It has been a few months, and it's not good after taking medicine..." the girl's father said.

  As if to confirm his words, the little girl coughed violently before the voice was heard, and her face turned red from coughing.

   "How many months?" Dr. Xiao wrinkled his head slightly.

   "Three or four months, I can't remember." The girl's father said.

  "Did you have a bad cold before? Is there any sputum?" Dr. Xiao continued to ask.

   "No." The girl shook her head.

  "Have you ever taken a film?" Dr. Xiao asked again.

   "No." The girl's father replied, "I don't think she is seriously ill. Just buy some cough medicine and eat it. Recently, she has a bad cough."

  Doctor Xiao picked up the stethoscope and walked to the girl, "Open the cotton coat."

  The girl blushed, and she unbuttoned her coat. Dr. Xiao put the stethoscope on her chest, "exhale, inhale..."

  The girl takes a deep breath and exhales.

  Doctor Xiao frowned, "Come again, breathe in, cough again..."

  "Come and listen!" Dr. Xiao said to Guo Xiang and An Zehan beside him.

  The two nodded, Dr. Xiao is going to teach on-site? Really a qualified teacher.

  An Zehan and Guo Xiang also went up and listened with their stethoscopes. The little girl flushed when seeing such a handsome guy An Zehan approaching, and she was short of breath, and even panted.

   "This sound is wrong." An Zehan said.

  Guo Xiang also nodded, "It's not normal, there are wet crackles."

  "Could it be pneumonia?" An Zehan said.

   "Open your mouth, let me take a look." Dr. Xiao said, picking up a small flashlight.

  The girl opened her mouth.

"talk'."

   "Ah--" The girl exhaled.

  The throat does not seem to be inflamed, is there a problem with the lungs?

   "Take a film." Dr. Xiao said.

   "Is it pneumonia?" The girl's father is a little nervous. The child is now in the third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination. What if the pneumonia is hospitalized and delays studying?

   "I can't confirm it yet. Take a picture and see it." Dr. Xiao said, taking a pen to open the order, "Let the doctor get the results faster, and I'll say it was me."

  The girl's father nodded, took the bill and took the child down to pay the fee and went to the X-ray room to film.

  "It should be pneumonia, right?" An Zehan looked at Dr. Xiao. Several of the people who came to see the doctor today had colds and fevers, and one of them had pneumonia. They have been admitted to the hospital.

  Doctor Xiao did not speak, his expression was a bit serious.

  About an hour later, it was about to get off work, and the girl's father hurried over with the girl.

  Doctor Xiao picked up the X-ray film and clamped it on the light box, and all three of them leaned forward to look at it.

  I was shocked at this look, it was much more serious than pneumonia, and the lungs were partially fibrillated.

The lung is an important respiratory organ of the human body. People who have bought pig lungs in the market may have seen it. The lungs are a little pink and very elastic. The air in the alveoli can only be completed by gas exchange.

   But if pulmonary fibrosis occurs, it is the secretion of collagen between the lung interstitium, which fills in those pores and forms a block, which hinders the exchange of gas and causes difficulty in breathing.

  After pulmonary fibrosis, the lungs gradually harden, and eventually they cannot breathe and may suffocate and die.

  However, generally speaking, patients with pulmonary fibrosis first have a history of smoking, and second, they may be in a dusty environment for a long time. For example, those patients with pneumoconiosis who have pulmonary fibrosis are mostly coal miners.

  But this little girl is obviously unlikely, and why is the lung fibrosis at such a young age?

   "Doctor, what's the matter?" The girl's father was a little anxious, "Isn't it really pneumonia?"

  "This is much more serious than pneumonia." An Zehan couldn't help but said.

   "What?" The girl's father was shocked, and the girl coughed up again after being so frightened, she was breathing fast, and her face blushed.

   "Don't be afraid, take your time, come, take a deep breath..." Guo Xiang hurriedly instructed the girl, but she was still uncomfortable, as if out of breath.

  Guo Xiang was a little distressed, and said softly, "Don’t worry, take your time..."

  "Hospitalize first!" Dr. Xiao said.

  "Doctor, what is the disease of my daughter?" The girl's father was anxious.

   "Your daughter's lungs are already fibrotic and it is very serious. If it is not cured..." Dr. Xiao could not go on.

  "What is fibrosis?" The girl's father didn't understand, and the girl also looked at Dr. Xiao.

  Dr. Xiao did not know how to explain, he saw a rubber band on the table and said: "Look, human lungs are originally like this, elastic..."

  Doctor Xiao stretched the rubber band while talking, "But her lungs are now like hard rubber bands, like branches. They can’t contract, but they haven’t been completely fibrotic, otherwise they can’t breathe."

   "This, this..." The girl's father was shocked, "Then can my daughter be saved? Can it be cured?"

  Dr. Xiao hesitated for a moment, and said, “We will use medicine to make her feel better, and it can alleviate the symptoms, but it is impossible to completely cure it unless a lung transplant is performed.”

  Basically, this disease can't be cured, and they all die from respiratory and circulatory disorders.

   "What?" The girl's father turned pale, and the girl's breathing became even more rapid, and her lungs seemed to be coughed out.

  "How could this happen? Why did you get this disease?" The girl shook her head like a father, still she couldn't believe it, thinking that pneumonia would delay the college entrance examination. Now he would rather be pneumonia, at least pneumonia can be cured.

  But now this disease, the doctor means it can’t be cured obviously?

   "We will try our best, and there are medicines available, and we will try to prolong her life..." Dr. Xiao's voice became lower and lower, and he was also helpless. The doctor is not a god, and not all diseases can be cured.

   "Then, Dad, we are dead." The girl's face was gray and defeated. If she spends so much money on it, it's better to die.

   "But if you are cured, you can live a few more years..." Guo Xiang couldn't help but say.

  The girl smiled bitterly, "Is it still going to die in the end?"

  "You can't think like that." An Zehan said, "We are all dying. We can't live well because we will die. You still have hope. Maybe after a few years, medical technology can be cured..."

  Guo Xiang did not speak. This disease is difficult even in later life. Some medicines may be more advanced, but they still cannot cure the cause. Lung transplantation is the most effective, but how difficult is it to find the source of the lung?

  "Dad..." The girl cried.

  "Treatment, no matter how much money is spent, I must be cured. I can't just watch my daughter suffer..." The girl's father's eyes were also red.

  The girl couldn't cry, tears slipped into the scarf, getting wet.

  Her father wiped her tears distressedly, pulled down the scarf, and rubbed his daughter's face with his palm.

   "Your face..." Guo Xiang was surprised. The skin on the girl's face was cracked badly, piece by piece like an old lady.

  "Hurry up and take the gloves off and let me have a look." Guo Xiang exclaimed.

  The girl is not sure, so she took off her gloves, her hands were red and swollen, her hair was whitish and purple, her thick leather hair shaft was hard, and it was cracked badly, like frostbite.

   "This..." Guo Xiang was shocked.
