Start From Emergency Doctor

Chapter 120

Zhou Yuan took Chu Chu to Wu Lihua’s ward.

Wu Lihua was lying on the bed in a daze. When she heard someone walk in, she slowly looked over and noticed that it was Zhou Yuan, her eyes lit up.

“Doctor Zhou, you are here!” Wu Lihua wanted to stand up.

Zhou Yuan quickly went up to help Wu Lihua and said, “How is your closest body?”

Wu Lihua froze for a moment, as if she hadn’t heard Zhou Yuan-‘s words.

“This little girl is…” Wu Lihua looked at Chu Chu and thought.

Zhou Yuan was taken aback.

Memory decline… This is one of the clinical manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease!

Alzheimer’s disease, also commonly known as Alzheimer’s disease. This is a neurological disease that is difficult to detect, and it is generally regarded as a bad memory when people are old.

However, memory decline, or more appropriately, the memory decline of Alzheimer’s patients is actually a memory disorder. In addition, it also includes symptoms such as aphasia, apraxia, and impairment of visual spatial skills.

Wu Lihua herself had undergone surgery for cerebral infarction, her head was damaged, coupled with her age, it is not uncommon to get Alzheimer’s disease.

“Grandma Wu, let me do an inspection for you,” Zhou Yuan said.

He plans to test Wu Lihua’s cognitive level with a common simple mental scale.

This scale is relatively simple and the test time is short. It is currently the most common scale for clinical testing of Alzheimer’s disease intelligence impairment. The results need to be judged according to the measurer’s education level. For illiteracy, the score is less than 17 points However, the university degree needs to be less than 23 points to judge the existence of cognitive function.

Wu Lihua’s education is at the elementary school level, and the result should be greater than 20 points.

“Okay!” Wu Lihua said confidently without any precautions.

Zhou Yuan turned on his phone, downloaded a simple mental state scale on the Internet, and asked while recording: “What year is it now?”

“What month is it now?”

“what is the date today?”

Wu Lihua answered these simple questions correctly, but hesitated.

“Now I say the names of the three things. After I finish speaking, repeat the three things I have said in order.” Zhou Yuan said.

Wu Lihua nodded, “Okay.”

Zhou Yuan: “Watermelon, sun, grass…”

After being silent for a while, Zhou Yuan said, “Repeat it.”

Wu Lihua: “Watermelon…grass…”

She hesitated and couldn’t remember what the middle one was, so she said casually: “Match?”

Zhou Yuan nodded and proceeded to the next test.

Finally, the results came out.

Wu Lihua’s score is 20 points, which is the same as the lowest score, but it also means that she has suffered from mild dementia.

This is the first stage of Alzheimer’s disease.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At this stage, patients will have problems such as memory decline, forgetting recent events, and decreased judgment. Moreover, patients cannot analyze, think, judge, etc., to deal with complex problems.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly left the ward and asked Zhang Ling to contact the patient’s family.

After hearing that it was Alzheimer’s disease, the youngest daughter ran over in the afternoon.

“How come, my mother keeps forgetting things, and I am also lost, why suddenly I have Alzheimer’s?”

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: “This disease is a common disease among the elderly. I did some basic tests and the results showed that she was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.”

“I don’t have time to take care of her on weekdays, and I have to take care of her children. How can I have time to care about her…what can I do!”

Zhou Yuan sighed and said, “I’m afraid you will have to take time out even if you don’t have time. In the future, your mother’s thinking will become more and more youthful, becoming more and more naive, and finally even the basic daily life becomes The problem, someone must take care of her.”

“I… how should I take care of it?”

“Like she took care of you when she was a child, she will take care of your mother every step of the way.”

The little daughter suddenly turned pale and said: “I have to talk to my eldest brother and them…”

After a while, the other three people came, all with ugly faces, and no one was willing to speak first, for fear that they would be responsible in the end.

“Brother, you say something.” The little girl couldn’t help but said.

The elder son was stunned for a moment: “How do I know what to do!”

Everyone fell silent again.

At this time, the third son suddenly spoke and said, “Why don’t we send my mother to a nursing home, and we will pay the money together, so that saves trouble, and there is no need to think about who is unfair to anyone!”

Zhou Yuan on the side was stunned.

“This idea can be…” After a long time, the eldest brother spoke.

“I also agree, but the money cannot be divided equally. I usually take care of my mother. Why do I have to pay the same amount of money as you?” the little daughter said.

·········Ask for flowers···········

“The third brother has the best economic conditions and a good job, and he came up with this idea. He pays more.” The second daughter said.

The third son blushed with anger: Sure enough, the one who raised it first would definitely suffer!

“In this way, I am the eldest son. I and the eldest son will be the third, and the eldest and the eldest will be the second. Either this way, or the equal distribution.” The eldest son thought for a while and said.

“I agree.”

“Row.”

The third son can only nod his head.

Zhou Yuan sighed and walked up and said, “Your mother is still in the early stage, and there is still two or three years to cherish. There is no need to send it to a nursing home…”

“Don’t you send it to a nursing home?” The little daughter said impatiently.

Zhou Yuan was silent.

…….. … …….

“Go see mom?” the older brother asked.

“What else are you looking at? It’s said that Alzheimer’s is already happening. Can you remember it is still two different things!” said the second daughter.

“Forget it, I still have some work. There is an important meeting today…” The third son sorted out his suit and glanced at his watch.

“That’s OK, it just happens that my wife is sick today, I have to take care of her.”

With that, the eldest son also hurriedly left the hospital.

The last little daughter who was left took a look at Zhou Yuan and said, “We will pay for the hospitalization fee. Remember to let the nurse take care of my mother. If something goes wrong, I will ask you to settle the account!”

With that, he also left the hospital with his bag.

Chu Chu on the side was puzzled and said, “Uncles and aunts are so busy, they don’t have time to accompany Grandma Wu.”

Zhou Yuan touched Chuchu’s head and said, “Let’s go, let’s accompany Grandma Wu.”

The two walked to the ward, Zhou Yuan noticed that Wu Lihua seemed to have gotten out of bed, and asked, “You just went out?”

Wu Lihua hesitated for a while, nodded and said: “I’m out…I heard that my son and daughter are here, so I want to see…”

With that said, Wu Lihua put the four bananas in her hand back on the table.

At this time, Wu Lihua was very clear-headed and could not see that she had Alzheimer’s disease at all.

“Child, thank you for taking care of these days…” Wu Lihua said suddenly.

Zhou Yuan smiled: “This is what it should be.”

After speaking, Zhou Yuan saw Wu Lihua take out a piece of stuff from the quilt, and then looked at Zhou Yuan: “Child, I have something I want to give you.”
