Chapter 284
At this time, a dispute was going on in the emergency department.
"What's wrong with your emergency department? You are a big store that bullies customers, or you are irresponsible and don't want to see a doctor."
"I took my child to see a doctor from a long distance by taxi, and you told me that the pediatrician was off work and the emergency doctor was not able to see a pediatrician, so you asked me to go to the central hospital."
"Now the child is crying so urgently, you asked me to take a taxi to Xicheng, 20 kilometers away, to see a doctor. Let's not talk about whether I can get a taxi. Let's talk about the time wasted on the road. If something happens to the child, who will be responsible?"
The man stood in the emergency hall, furious, and standing next to him was a mother and daughter.
The girl looked only three years old, lying in her mother's arms and crying non-stop.
The shrill crying sound resounded throughout the emergency department.
The mother was less than 30 years old, her face was tired and her expression was nervous. Seeing the child crying heartbreakingly, she felt helpless.
The nurse standing opposite them and being scolded had no choice but to apologize.
The child came with stomachache and a slight fever. She called the pediatric department, but was told that the ward did not provide emergency treatment.
Then she asked the emergency internal and external doctors to come over. When they saw that the child was a minor, they all said they were powerless.
Whether it was medication or treatment methods, children were very different from adults. Most importantly, there were many drugs that could not be used indiscriminately, so they could only ask the family to go to a hospital with an emergency pediatric department.
In the entire Yingcheng, the only pediatric hospital with conditions for emergency treatment at night was the Central Hospital, which was 20 kilometers away.
At this moment, the child was crying and obviously couldn't catch his breath, and his little lips were a little cyanotic. Seeing this, the family members made a big fuss in the emergency department, and the sound of scolding spread far away to express their dissatisfaction.
But no matter how dissatisfied they were, the child's illness still had to be treated. After venting their emotions, the family members still considered taking the child to the Central Hospital for treatment.
Just when the nurse was relieved, Xiao Chenguang walked in from the emergency door.
"What's the child like? Let me take a look."
While Xiao Chenguang was speaking, his eyes were already looking at the crying little girl.
The girl had a stomachache, and her forehead and palms were all sweaty, as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Seeing someone approaching, the girl instinctively showed fear, and her crying became louder than before.
"Who are you?"
Seeing a stranger approaching, the man instinctively protected the mother and daughter, and looked at Xiao Chenguang with vigilant eyes.
"This is Director Xiao of our department."
They didn't know Xiao Chenguang, but how could the emergency nurse not know him? She hurried forward to explain.
Seeing this, the family members' vigilance was replaced by a burst of complaints. When they heard that it was the director, they were ready to complain about the emergency department's behavior of not caring about patients.
"Let's take a look at the child first. We will treat the disease if there is one, and we will talk about other things later."
Xiao Chenguang knew some of the historical problems left over from the hospital. As for why pediatricians don't see emergency patients at night, it's mainly because there are too few people.
The outpatient clinic and wards are almost open all year round. Some time ago, due to overwork, one of them fell ill, and the entire pediatric ward was almost paralyzed, not to mention the emergency treatment.
Of course, if they encounter a very urgent child, such as a high fever convulsion, they will still take care of it, but they don’t see the child with stomachache like this one.
As for why they don’t recruit people, it is highly likely that they can’t recruit people. The Oilfield Hospital does not have the right to recruit people independently and can only rely on allocation.
But most of the doctors assigned to the oilfield will choose the Central Hospital in Xicheng. Over time, Dongcheng Shengli Hospital has suffered serious talent loss and a serious gap in disciplines.
There is also such a reason why the general surgery department was forced to split before.
As for some people saying that a hospital like this should be closed.
But if it is really closed, the placement of thousands of employees in the hospital is a problem, and the difficulty of seeing a doctor in Dongcheng District is another problem.
Xiao Chenguang shook his head and put aside this fleeting question. After all, this is what the leaders of the management bureau and the dean should consider. Now he just wants to cure the child’s illness first.
"Director, then come and see what happened to my child. He was fine during the day, but why did he cry like this at night?"
The family member saw that someone was taking care of the child, so he restrained his emotions and said anxiously.
"It's not convenient to see him in the hall, go to the observation room."
Xiao Chenguang looked at the child, his eyes still solemn. According to his previous experience, if the child was really pushed to the central hospital, the time wasted on the way would easily cause problems.
The mother holding the child was so anxious that she was about to cry. Through her description, Xiao Chenguang roughly understood the child's situation.
Facing the child, Xiao Chenguang was very gentle, speaking softly, and coaxing the child to giggle.
The family members were stunned for a long time when they saw this scene, and even the nurses on the side were full of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Director Xiao was not only handsome and outstanding in ability, but also had a set of skills to coax children.
Is he already married and has children? It shouldn't be, how many nurses would be hurt.
The nurse stood aside and thought about it, and Xiao Chenguang took the opportunity to lift the little girl's shirt.
The white and tender skin is smooth, delicate, elastic and full of collagen.
But what surprised everyone was that there was an obvious bulge in the child's abdomen, and the shape of the intestine could be vaguely seen inside. Although it was only the size of a pea, it really scared everyone.
"What is this? When I came to the hospital just now, there was no bulge in my stomach. Why is it suddenly bulging?"
The mother holding the child suddenly became nervous, and her voice trembled a little.
The man following her had a fierce look in his eyes. The moment he saw the mass, a trace of panic flashed across his expression.
I was even more happy in my heart.
Fortunately, I didn't get angry just now and took my wife and children to the central hospital. Otherwise, the sudden appearance of the mass could not be treated and the condition would definitely be delayed.
"Director Xiao, what is this? Could it be intestinal obstruction? If such a young child has intestinal obstruction, is it possible that he has to go on stage for surgery?"
When the nurse saw the mass in the child's abdomen, she immediately thought of this possibility.
As soon as this statement came out, the family members were all frightened.
The momentum of the curse just now was gone, and now he was at a loss and could only plead with Xiao Chenguang.
"Director Xiao, what exactly is the child's disease? Does he really need to be operated on? The child is just three years old and doesn't understand anything yet. He needs surgery. What will he do next after suffering such a big mistake?"
The family members did not know what intestinal obstruction was, but when they heard that surgery was required and a major incision was required, they suddenly panicked.
"The child is most likely to have intussusception." Xiao Chenguang pointed to the child's abdomen and said calmly: "The bulging belly can be seen in the shape of an intestine, coupled with obvious abdominal pain, these are typical symptoms of intussusception."
"Based on the current position of her abdomen, it can be judged that the ileum was inserted into the colon, causing incarceration."
"My child has diarrhea today. Does he have dark red stool that looks like jam?"
Xiao Chenguang's voice was as calm as water, making the family members' anxious hearts gradually become less nervous.
Facing the inquiry, the man looked confused. He instinctively turned to look at the woman, who nodded in surprise.
"Yes, Director Xiao, the child complained of stomachache this afternoon. I wiped her butt. It was the color you mentioned. I thought she was eating fruit."
"That's right."
Xiao Chenguang nodded. Intussusception is actually a type of acute abdomen. It can be treated by gastrointestinal surgery and general surgery, and it has certain risks.
Children, in particular, are more likely to get sick if they engage in strenuous activities and eat improperly.
"Register now. I will make an order later. You take your child to the radiology department to take a X-ray first. After the diagnosis is confirmed, you can get the medicine from the pharmacy and I will treat the child when you come back."
Xiao Chenguang was as steady as a mountain and spoke in an unhurried manner. He briefly told the family members what intussusception was and let them know what the child's condition was like at this time.
"Does the child still need surgery?"
The man still asked worriedly.
Xiao Chenguang was just about to answer when he suddenly found that the little girl who had just been calmed down suddenly started to cry in pain again.
This time it seemed to be even more serious, and the red little face was full of pain, which made the family members' hearts that were about to fall start to rise again.
"Baby, do you have a stomachache again? Don't be afraid, we have a doctor to see you, it's okay..."
The mother quickly comforted her, and at this moment, the crying that echoed in the observation room suddenly stopped.
"Baby, you are so strong..."
The mother was just about to praise her, but she noticed that the girl's little face turned from red to white, and she started to vomit with a loud sound.
Urgent and anxious shouts instantly sounded in the observation room.
