The onset of acute cholecystitis is due to tumors, stones, etc. blocking the cystic duct, causing bile retention in the gallbladder, and secondary bacterial infection causing acute inflammation.

Lu Chen immediately contacted his roommate who was working the night shift in the emergency department, and then sent Wang Zihao to the emergency department.

Came to the emergency department.

Lu Chen took Wang Zihao for an abdominal CT scan, and less than ten minutes later, he was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis.

After the doctor on duty in the emergency department administered painkillers and antispasmodics to Wang Zihao, his pain was relieved a lot.

Their other roommate at this time is Xing Yu, a graduate student in nephrology who is rotating in the emergency department this month.

"Old Wang, you bastard, I asked you to have breakfast regularly. Look, now you know it hurts!"

Xing Yu stood beside the bed in the emergency room and cursed with a smile.

When not eating, the gallbladder is filled with bile, and the gallbladder mucosa absorbs water to thicken the bile. At this time, cholesterol/lecithin bubbles are easily formed, and the viscosity of the bile also increases, eventually forming gall sludge and gallstones.

"Hey, it's hurt before, but it doesn't hurt like this! Who knew it hurt so damn much!" Wang Zihao lay on the bed, shuddering when he thought of the pain before.

"Zihao, I just took a CT scan of your abdomen. There are high-density shadows in the gallbladder and there are a lot of stones. You may need surgery as soon as possible." Lu Chen said.

Wang Zihao nodded.

Acute cholecystitis is a common and frequently-occurring disease, 2 to 3 times more common in women than men, especially in middle-aged and obese people. Symptoms improve after more than 12 to 24 hours of treatment, and subside in 3 to 7 days. The total mortality rate is 3%. ~5%.

As a surgical graduate student, Wang Zihao also knew very well that for cholelithiasis-type cholecystitis, the best way is to cut the gallbladder directly!

"I will go directly to the general surgery department later." Wang Zihao said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, thank you for tonight! It's almost one or two o'clock, please send me to the emergency room."

"We're all in the same dormitory. What's there to thank you for? Get well soon." Lu Chen said.

Xing Yu gave a few instructions and asked Wang Zihao to fast and drink for the time being, and then left.

At this moment, a hot-tempered girl walked into the emergency observation room.

She has an oval face, a small nose, and light makeup on her face. She has an extremely delicate appearance and a tall figure.

The most conspicuous thing is that her two long legs are exposed to the air and are particularly dazzling.

As soon as she entered the room, she walked directly towards Wang Zihao.

When Lu Chen saw this, he thought the person coming was Wang Zihao's girlfriend and quickly moved aside.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zihao said: "Sister... you, you are here..."

Lu Chen was stunned. This beautiful girl was actually Wang Zihao's sister.

The woman frowned and muttered, "What's going on? Your stomach hurts in the middle of the night?"

"Sister, I have cholecystitis caused by gallbladder stones..." Wang Zihao seemed to be afraid of his sister, and whispered, "This disease occurs more often at night."

Acute cholecystitis usually occurs more frequently at night.

The reason is that when we stand or sit with the gallbladder bottom facing down, the stones will sink to the bottom. When sleeping at night, if the patient lies on his back or left side, the gallbladder base will face upward.

Due to gravity, stones can easily roll to the neck of the gallbladder and get stuck, preventing bile from being discharged and affecting the contraction of the gallbladder, causing bursts of pain.

Another reason is that after a heavy meal of high-fat food at night, inflammation of the biliary system itself or stones may cause obstruction of the biliary tract. However, in order to digest the high-fat food entering the body, the gallbladder needs to increase contraction and excrete more bile, and the biliary tract is blocked, resulting in nighttime The pain keeps the patient awake at night.

"You still have the nerve to say that you, a doctor, have ruined yourself like this?!" The woman frowned.

Although the woman was not very polite, Lu Chen could tell that her eyes were full of worry.

"Sister, I may go to the general surgery hospital later, and I need to be accompanied by my family members. I may have to operate on you later, so don't let your parents know for the time being." Wang Zihao said.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." The woman said slowly, then looked at Lu Chen aside, "This is..."

Wang Zihao said quickly: "Sister, this is my roommate, his name is Lu Chen."

"Lu Chen, this is my sister, my dear sister Wang Ruoxi."

Lu Chen nodded towards Wang Ruoxi, "Hello."

Wang Ruoxi nodded in response and smiled, "Thank you, classmate Lu. Now that I'm here, I'll just take care of my brother. You can go back and rest. Thank you."

"Okay, Zihao, I'll go back first." Seeing that Zihao was mostly recovered, Lu Chen explained some precautions, then said hello to Xing Yu and returned to the dormitory.

After Lu Chen left, Wang Ruoxi accompanied Wang Zihao to the emergency observation room.

"Sister, I'm sorry for causing you to have to take leave from work tomorrow..." Wang Zihao said.

"Hey, let's talk about you. You still have to take good care of yourself, but you even end up with cholecystitis." Wang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "It's best for you to find a girlfriend to take good care of you so that you don't have to be alone. , not even eating breakfast!”

Wang Zihao scratched his head, "Why is it so easy to find a girlfriend? Besides, we don't have much time at ordinary times, and we don't have time to talk if we find one. Let's talk about it later."

Wang Ruoxi thought for a moment, and that was true. Then she thought: "But you are a good roommate. I even sent you to the emergency room in the middle of the night."

Wang Zihao smiled and said, "That's for sure. Lu Chen and I are good buddies. It was he who led our school team to win the national skills competition together."

"Oh? Is that him?" Wang Ruoxi said in surprise.

She knew very well that her younger brother's level was at best above average among his peers.

He was actually able to represent the school team and win first place in the skills competition?

Their whole family didn't believe the news.

It wasn't until they saw relevant news on the Internet and the trophy that Wang Zihao brought back that they believed the news that Wang Zihao had won the championship.

I have to say that the other members of the school team are really good, and they can actually lead their own younger brother.

"Sister, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, you don't know, Lu Chen recently entered the third round of the provincial competition of the electrocardiogram competition!" Wang Zihao said, "This is the top ten in the province!"

This time, Wang Ruoxi was even more surprised.

She was also a clinical medical student before. Although she failed to become a doctor due to various reasons, she is now engaged in a medical-related career.

She is well aware of the weight of a young graduate student reaching the third round in such a large competition.

This roommate of my younger brother is really not an ordinary person!

…

At this time, the protagonist Lu Chen has returned to the dormitory.

It's already past two in the morning.

He had to hurry up and get some sleep, he had to go to work tomorrow morning.
