Back to 1999: From operating surgeon to becoming a top doctor

"Rales in both lungs."

"Inflammatory reaction in the lingual and basal segments of the upper lobe of the left lung, purulent effusion in the medial segment of the middle lobe and dorsal segment of the lower lobe of the right lung."

"Have the CT scans of the old man's lungs been released? This time it should be severe pneumonia caused by viral infection."

Xiao Chenguang put the stethoscope on the old man's chest and auscultated it from left to right, and then came to a conclusion.

"Severe pneumonia?"

"Chief Xiao, what do you mean, the old man's sudden breathlessness this time has nothing to do with his previous abdominal aortic aneurysm?"

Secretary Li asked.

From the time the old man fell and became ill to the subsequent recovery from surgery, Secretary Li accompanied him almost the entire time.

He was well aware of the dangers of abdominal aortic aneurysm and possible postoperative complications.

That's why when the old man became seriously ill this time, Secretary Li immediately thought of Xiao Chenguang and asked him to come for consultation.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with the previous abdominal aorta surgery. The main problem this time is pulmonary infection."

"That's good."

Seeing that it had nothing to do with the abdominal aortic aneurysm, Secretary Li felt slightly relieved.

Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang continued: "Although it is just a lung infection, judging from the auscultation results just now, the old man's lung inflammation is very severe."

"That's why I need to use CT films to determine what kind of viral infection it is."

As soon as these words came out, not only Secretary Li, but also everyone else present looked startled.

Even the director of the imaging department may not have the ability to determine what type of lung infection it is through a film.

After all, CT technology was just introduced not long ago, and most hospitals have just started in the past two years.

Doctors in all related professions are still in the exploratory stage.

Why do you think Chief Xiao is saying that his research on CT images has reached the stage of diagnosis?

I just listened to Secretary Li’s introduction. Isn’t Chief Xiao a doctor specializing in surgery?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Secretary Li among the crowd had already reacted.

"Have the results of the film you just made for the elderly come out?"

Although he didn't know medical skills, he could observe people's words and expressions. The confused expressions of others strengthened Secretary Li's idea.

really.

Inviting Xiao Chenguang to come to the provincial capital for consultation is the most correct choice.

"Come on...I'll have someone go to the CT room to get the film immediately!"

As soon as Secretary Li spoke, the people around him who looked like hospital leaders responded quickly.

"Dean Kong, Secretary Li, let me get the film I took the old man to take just now."

In the crowd, Yu Shoucheng spoke again.

He showed a strong interest in what Chief Xiao just said.

Among the current group of people, except Xiao Chenguang, perhaps he is the only one who best understands the value of CT scan reading.

After all, as the director of the respiratory department, looking at lung CT to diagnose conditions is also an ability that must be mastered.

It's just that Chief Xiao can actually tell what type of pneumonia it is through the film.

This ability is too incredible.

Yu Shoucheng worked non-stop and took back the warm films that had just been printed from the CT room to the ward.

It's different from X-rays.

CT images are multi-layered X-rays that show the patient's entire lungs in front of everyone's eyes through cross-sectional slices.

"On the mediastinal window, double pneumonia exudate can be seen, and the large white ground-glass shadow on the lung window is the site of infection."

Xiao Chenguang held up the film and faced the incandescent light on the ceiling, his brows gradually furrowed.

The old man's CT scan was terrible.

It can even be described as "white lungs".

And the virus that can cause symptoms of white lung in a short period of time is not just as simple as infection.

"Chief Xiao?"

There was something wrong with Xiao Chenguang's expression in front of him, and Secretary Li's heart started to feel suspended again.

"It's the flu!"

Through the film, Xiao Chenguang discovered that this was no ordinary viral infection.

Rather, it is a contagious pandemic virus.

"influenza?"

Upon hearing this term, everyone present was stunned.

After all, in 1999, waves of influenza appeared every three to five like those in later generations. In this era, it was rare.

"Did you see this large white shadow? The lungs of the elderly progress rapidly and are contagious to a certain extent."

"Come!"

"Everyone should wear masks. Anyone who has been in contact with the elderly should not go back tonight and stay in the ward for 8 hours."

Considering the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Chenguang issued a ban directly on the spot.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

What's going on?

According to Chief Xiao, this is going to be quarantined!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire ward became tense.

“Call the CDC and ask them to send someone over to do testing.”

"It is not easy for the elderly to transfer to another department now. The equipment they need is transferred here from other departments."

After Xiao Chenguang explained the reason, everyone was shocked.

They know the seriousness of an infection outbreak in a hospital.

I just didn't expect that the elderly man's seemingly lung infection would be so serious.

"Secretary Li, did the old man have a cough that just started yesterday, and he started to feel uncomfortable today?"

"Yes, the old man's disease progressed very quickly, so I was afraid that it would be an abdominal aortic aneurysm like last time."

Facing Xiao Chenguang's inquiry, Secretary Li nodded.

The old man's condition progressed too fast, even faster than the last time he got sick.

Secretary Li always thought it was an aneurysm, but now it seems like it's more serious than last time. !

At this time, people in the corridor outside also heard the news and immediately handed masks to the people in the ward.

Everyone followed Xiao Chenguang's advice and put on masks.

Even Secretary Liang was no exception.

At this time, the instruments and equipment required by Xiao Chenguang were also pushed into the ward.

Xiao Chenguang skillfully turned on the ventilator, and after setting the parameters, he put the special mask on the old man's face.

Then the ventilator started.

A large amount of gas entered the old man's lungs, instantly relieving his symptoms of shortness of breath.

At the same time.

Antiviral ganciclovir was also used for the old man.

With a burst of intense rescue work, the monitor connected to the old man finally stopped alarming.

Seeing that under a series of skilled operations by Xiao Chenguang, the old man's condition gradually began to improve.

Everyone began to ask carefully.

"Chief Xiao, is the flu really that serious?"

"Yes, Chief Xiao, do we have to stay in the ward all the time?"

Seeing that everyone had a look of fear when talking about drugs, Xiao Chenguang knew that what he said just now was a bit serious.

So, he said slowly.

"As long as you take the necessary protective measures, don't be too nervous."

"Isolation is temporary. As you can see, influenza progresses faster than ordinary lung infections and is more serious. To be on the safe side, it will be safer to wait for the CDC to come and finish the disinfection."

Compared with later generations, everyone has gradually become immune to the environment full of viruses and bacteria.

At this moment, everyone standing here is still a susceptible group.

The influenza vaccine has not yet been developed. Only by cutting off the transmission route can people be effectively exempted from the risk of infection.

"Okay, we know."

"Everyone will be in the ward tonight and will not leave."

In the final analysis, most of the people present are people in the medical system, and their understanding of this aspect should be more thorough.

Although the process is difficult.

But everyone has a family. If they bring the virus home and cause their wives and children to be infected, it is what they least want to see.

"Old man, I'll be here, don't worry."

"As long as there are no symptoms of fever, headache, or cough, you can be released from isolation tomorrow."

After asking others to leave the ward, only Xiao Chenguang and Secretary Li chose to stay in the ward to take care of the old man.
