Chapter 586 Battery corrosion damages esophagus(1/2)

The child, Aziz, was lying on the hospital bed crying all the time. His big eyes were flashing with tears, and he refused to eat anything. He was squirming around in the nanny's arms.

Even if the young parents next to me use all kinds of martial arts to comfort him, it doesn't matter. At first glance, he looks like a naughty child.

At first, the doctors thought so too, thinking that this must be a spoiled child.

As a result, the chief's wife's words caught the attention of the doctors:

"Aziz, what's wrong with you? What do you want? Tell your mother, ah, stop crying. You were very good before, why are you so bad today?"

As a woman, Xu Hongmei was more attentive. After hearing what the chief's wife said, she asked:

"Excuse me, do children usually have this kind of temper?"

"No, no, no, my prince is usually polite and obedient. Maybe he is sick today?"

A personal nanny next to him quickly stood up and clarified for his little master.

But this clarification made Xu Hongmei’s eyes fall on the children, and she said to the colleagues next to her in Hangzhou local dialect:

"This little tooth is crying abnormally. Let me check first."

Being both doctors, everyone obviously saw the problem, so they nodded one by one. After colluding with the chief and his wife, Xu Hongmei began a full body examination.

Dr. Xu first measured the temperature, which was normal. He then carefully checked the throat and found that it was red, without herpes, and there were no obvious abnormalities during cardiopulmonary auscultation, so he initially gave a diagnosis of "acute upper respiratory tract infection."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a cold, a minor problem.

Dr. Xu said seriously to the young parents:

"It may be that you came to the hospital yesterday for cross-infection. It may be due to fever and throat inflammation that makes you unable to drink milk. It seems that the problem is not serious at the moment. It's okay!"

Director He Xinglong next to him was getting more and more wrong as he listened. A child would cry like this for a simple cold?:

"Old Xu, I don't think something is right. This child doesn't seem to have a cold. Could it be that there is something wrong with the coins in his gastrointestinal tract?"

Is it causing intestinal obstruction? Is it stuck at the pylorus? Is it scratching the gastrointestinal mucosa?

When doctors treat difficult and complicated diseases, they often make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

Director Xu was also a little unsure: "I don't rule out this possibility. How about we take another film for the children?"

The chief couple were dissatisfied with the doctors taking X-rays of their children continuously for 24 hours. After all, the radiation was high and might affect the boy's future fertility, so they tried their best not to take them.

But I have no choice but to find a chance to travel to other countries to see a doctor.

The X-ray results came out quickly, and everyone was shocked.

There is actually a "coin" in the child's esophagus.

The doctors looked at me and I looked at you. They all became unconfident. They quickly found the X-ray film from last night and found that there was clearly only one coin in the film from last night.

So where did the coins in the esophagus come from? This is everyone's question.

Director He was surprised: "Hey, what's going on? Does this unlucky kid eat one coin every day?"

"Is this really true? A large group of people are supervising a child, and they even let him eat another coin?"

"There is no custom of eating coins in Baotou country, right?"

The doctors were all talking about it, but they were not very nervous. If a child eats coins by himself, it has nothing to do with the doctor, right?

Cao Biao, the director of the Children's Hospital, rushed over as the leader of the medical unit. After learning about the child's current condition, he was immediately confused and began to complain to his subordinates:

"I said, what's going on with you guys? You are all veteran experts. How can you diagnose one coin when there are two coins? Isn't this a slap in the face of our country and the face of our Chinese medical community? How can this be related to

Family members’ explanation?”

Dean Cao didn't understand the situation, so it was normal for him to complain a few words.

As luck would have it, Chief Abdullah had a female secretary who happened to be passing by, and she happened to understand Chinese, so she took this sentence seriously.

So he immediately covered his mouth in fear and quickly reported the news to his master.

Director He was the first doctor last night. He felt extremely wronged by the director's accusation. He quickly took out the X-ray film from last night and said excitedly:

"Noisy, this is last night's film. Look, is there only one coin on it? Dean Cao, you have to be responsible for what you say. My little arms and legs can't handle this kind of important diplomatic matter."

Dean Cao grabbed the film and started studying it with a group of experts behind him.

Comparing the two films, these leadership experts were also surprised:

"Yes, I really wronged Lao He. I really only had one coin last night..."

On the other side, the female secretary hurriedly came to the ward and whispered a few words to the chief and his wife.

As expected, even ordinary parents cannot accept this kind of "misdiagnosis", let alone the noble chief of a big dog family.

But at any rate, this couple was of good quality and they didn’t make a fuss. Instead, they lowered their heads and discussed:

"Your Majesty, I think the medical level here in China is not good. Before my son has any serious problems, why don't we return to China first, or go to the United States to have a look."

Chief Abdullah held his son in his arms, and his heart broke when he saw his crying son in his arms. Although he wanted to run away now, he had more issues to think about.

If he rushes to another country to see a doctor because of his son's condition just after he comes for a visit, this is a very unfriendly behavior. It is clearly not giving the host face, so what good impression can he leave on others?

Then even if his trip was in vain, he still offended people.

So even though he was anxious, he decided to endure it, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"My dear, we can't just leave like this, otherwise we will cause a dispute. Even if the Chinese doctor has misdiagnosed, I think two coins... I don't think it is a big problem."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the chief’s wife heard this, tears fell down but she was helpless.

She knew that although her family was extremely rich, the country was too small and the geographical location was awkward. Surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, she had no right to speak, so she had no choice but to endure even if she suffered a little grievance.

Yes, the young chief’s wife thought she had been wronged and treated unfairly:

"But dear, I think the doctors in Xihu City are not good enough. How about asking them to send better doctors to look at the patients?"

"Yes, that's it, I'll go negotiate with you right away.

"

After receiving the "complaint", the relevant departments immediately assigned the Shanghai Children's Hospital next door to send the strongest medical team to Haidong as quickly as possible.

This incident made Fan T, who arrived later, and President Li of Haidong Medical University feel extremely aggrieved.

A small coin, the Provincial Children's Hospital still can't handle it?

Actually lost the trust of foreign guests?

You actually need support from neighboring provinces and cities?

If you say this, won’t the whole country laugh out loud?

The huge reputation brought by Chen Qilan and Lijuan to the Haidong Provincial Health System suddenly disappeared, which was intolerable to the leaders of the health system.

After the superiors learned about this, they called Leader Xu and severely criticized him.

Leader Xu was so angry that he scolded Chief Fan and Principal Li bloody.

Then, when Chief Fan and Principal Li came back, they scolded Director Cao of the Children's Hospital bloody.

Dean Cao felt that his lungs were going to explode, and he scolded Dr. Xu, Dr. He, Dr. Wang, and Dr. Liu in the treatment team until he was so bloody.

Several doctors were so angry that they were so unjustly accused when they clearly had no "misdiagnosis", so they cursed at the hospital's telegraph poles.

In short, on this day, Haidong Health System felt like the sky was falling.

After experts from Shanghai City rushed to Haidong Children's Hospital, they immediately retrieved all medical records and examination reports and determined that it was a foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Yang, the deputy director of the Shanghai Children's Hospital who led the team, had the same idea as everyone else. They were just coins. Just pull them out. These foreigners made a fuss.

Then, in order to leave an authoritative impression to the foreign guests, experts from Shanghai and Shanghai also brought a set of imported children's gastroscopy.

When gastroscopy was mentioned, Chief Fan T and Principal Li's eyes lit up, because there is an ancestor figure in the endoscopy industry in Haidong Province, Chen Qi, the vice president of WEO.

If Chen Qi is allowed to take action and use a gastroscope to remove the foreign body, wouldn't that be able to bring some success to the health system of Haidong Province?

"Hey, Lao Yang, wait a minute. We will do the gastroscopy ourselves. Chen Qi is a professor at our Haidong Medical University. He is also a director of WGO and the vice president of the Weo Endoscopy Society. He can do this with his eyes closed.

"

Professor Yang was not happy when he heard this:

"Old Li, don't come here. Our experts from Shanghai are taking over now. Besides, we are also good at removing foreign bodies through gastroscopy. Why should we give this credit to Haidong Province?"

Seeing the complacent experts from outside the province, Principal Li was so angry that he was so angry, but he had no choice but to say that the Provincial Children's Hospital under him was not good enough. He was looked down upon by the experts from outside the province.

I have to scold Dean Cao severely and remove him from his post!

Just when everyone thought the matter would be solved so easily, an accident occurred.

After the gastroscopy, the doctors were horrified to find that what was stuck in the esophagus was not a coin at all, but a button battery, similar in size and shape to a coin.

And the situation is no longer optimistic. It is estimated that the quality of the batteries in the 1980s was not up to par. The electrolyte inside may have leaked out, and the tissue around the esophagus where the battery is located has begun to swell, erode, and stick together.

It is very difficult to remove the battery directly.

This sudden situation made Abdullah and his wife extremely nervous. After consulting the doctor accompanying the tour about the dangers of batteries, the young couple almost cried.

Even Mr. Fan T and Principal Li, who were complaining like Mrs. Xianglin just now, did not dare to say anything.

Batteries generally consist of an anode (positive electrode), a cathode (negative electrode) and their electrolyte, and the human gastrointestinal tract is filled with mucous membranes.
