Chapter 615 American rich man dies unexpectedly(1/2)
Ziguang Hospital, Qianzhen City, Guangnan Province.
As one of the first batch of open cities and special economic zones in China, Qianzhen City is already highly prosperous even though it is only 1989.
A large number of foreign and Hong Kong businessmen have poured into Qianzhen, promoting the rapid development of this window city with major changes every year.
As the best hospital in Qianzhen City, Ziguang Hospital also undertakes the treatment of a large number of foreign businessmen and guests. All the equipment of this hospital are the most advanced, and the doctor's technology is also the best in the country.
To describe it this way, the level of doctors in this hospital is not necessarily the best in the country, but the hospital hardware is second to none, and no one dares to say that it is first. The country is really trying to support Qianzhen.
The enthusiastic Huaguo always hopes to dedicate its best things, such as how the enthusiastic Shandong University entertained black students in later generations...
Today, a foreign patient was admitted to the emergency department of Ziguang Hospital, followed by a large group of men and women in suits and ties. Everyone looked nervous.
The old white man lying on the rescue bed is named Chapman Webster. He is the chairman of the American Dake Toy Company and a well-known rich man in the United States.
This time he led a business inspection team to Qianzhen City to discuss continuing to expand the production line.
As one of the first batch of wholly foreign-owned enterprises in Qianzhen City, Dakai Toys has become one of the top ten export-earning enterprises in Qianzhen City, so the relevant departments in Qianzhen attach great importance to it.
Not only did he accompany me throughout the whole process, but he also held banquets every day. I wanted to use this method to get closer to each other and keep his US dollars.
After a few days of business reception, there was a lot of food and fish every day. Before the business was successful, the company's chairman, Chapman Webster, was sent to the hospital.
My stomach hurt and I could not sit still because of the pain. Everyone thought it was due to drinking, so they rushed to the hospital.
When the old white man was sent to Ziguang Hospital, the entire hospital was mobilized, and all relevant internal medicine and surgical experts participated in the consultation.
Bian Hefeng is the director of Ziguang Hospital. After receiving the call, he quickly ran from the office to the emergency department.
When the leaders of the relevant departments saw the dean coming, they quickly pulled him aside and warned:
"Dean Bian, this foreign businessman is very special. If he invests hundreds of millions of dollars, he might just walk away. Previously, we were responsible for the reception, and we did our best."
Bian Hefeng thought to himself: He tried his best to eat and drink, and even drank people to the hospital. What kind of dedication is this?
Of course, he wouldn't say that, he would just nod seriously to show that he was listening.
"Now that Mr. Chapman Webster is seriously ill, you professional doctors need to be responsible for this, so you must do everything you can to treat this foreign businessman at all costs, and ensure that the foreign businessman is satisfied. Do you understand?"
"
Bian Hefeng continued to nod: "Please rest assured, leader, we will ensure good medical protection and not hold back our Qianzhen City!"
But I frowned deeply in my heart. I don’t know what the situation is now and I have to treat it. Who can guarantee this in medicine?
Dean Bian turned to look at the busy doctors and asked:
"What's the situation with foreign businessmen now?"
Li Huacheng, director of the emergency department, quickly replied:
"The patient was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain for 3 hours. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the patient's mid-upper and right abdomen. In addition, the patient had a history of cholecystitis, so we have reason to suspect that this was an acute cholecystitis attack."
Cholecystitis?
Upon hearing this diagnosis, both the doctor and the staff of Dakai Toy Company breathed a sigh of relief, and the leaders' faces became less ugly.
Although Chapman Webster was in excruciating pain, he felt relieved when he heard that it was just an attack of cholecystitis, thinking that he would not die.
Dean Bian also straightened his back and gave instructions:
"Now that we have a suspect, we need to get all the relevant tests done right away so that we can take the medicine as soon as possible."
"Okay Dean!"
In the emergency department, a set of rapid emergency tests were performed, including electrocardiogram, liver and kidney function, blood and urine amylase, and B-ultrasound.
A small case of cholecystitis is not something that can be easily taken away.
Then the examination results surprised everyone secretly, because the B-ultrasound showed that although there were stones in the gallbladder, the gallbladder itself was not enlarged, and indicators such as bilirubin were also normal.
This means that the possibility of cholecystitis is ruled out.
What causes abdominal pain?
At this time, no national guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal pain had been issued, and the concepts of epileptic abdominal pain and myocardial infarction abdominal pain that Chen Qi and others had just experienced had not spread.
Now that he has encountered a difficult and complicated disease, the doctor is ready to further expand the examination.
Therefore, all imaginable examinations such as enhanced CT, complete biochemistry, tumor indicators, gastrointestinal endoscopy, etc. were provided. We did not seek the best, but sought the most expensive.
If there were no PET/CT, genetic testing, MRI, etc. in this era, they would all be available.
Not only did inspections make money, but the profits from drugs in the 1980s and 1990s were also considerable, so all the good, expensive and imported drugs were available.
Any antispasmodic analgesics, imported antibiotics, electrolyte solutions, etc. are all available.
There is no way. Even though Ziguang Hospital has a beautiful building and advanced equipment, it still has so many machines to maintain, so many staff to feed, so many bank loans to repay, and the hospital is also poor.
Americans are not fools.
But first of all, people don’t care about money. Secondly, no matter how much your hospital incurs medical expenses, for Americans, this is only a few cents?
Money can be spent, but you have to help me cure the problem.
The result unexpectedly appeared here.
After admission, that evening, Ziguang Hospital prepared to perform a gastrointestinal endoscopy on the patient.
The first thing to do was a gastroscopy, which was performed by Zuo Yongxin, director of the gastroenterology department.
Zuo Yongxin was one of the first doctors in China to learn gastroenteroscopy. He studied in the United States for a year. After returning to China, he first went to the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University. Later, in order to pursue a higher salary, he decided to come to Qianzhen.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He still has rich clinical experience. In his eyes, a small gastroscopy is as simple as killing a chicken.
If he hadn't been a foreigner and a wealthy American, it would have been impossible for him to take action.
When the confident Director Zuo held the mirror in one hand and the operating lever in the other and started to lower the tube, everything was normal.
As soon as the gastroscopy passed through the pharynx, the old white man began to feel vomiting.
Zuo Yongxin quickly advised in English: "Sir, please hold on, take a deep breath, yes, relax."
The old white man felt uncomfortable all over his body. Cold sweat broke out on his back. The pain in his abdomen had spread to his chest. But now he had a gastroscope in his mouth and could not speak at all.
His face became paler and paler, and he was sweating profusely.
Zuo Yongxin hesitated when he saw the patient like this, but when he thought about it, it was common for patients to have nausea and vomiting during a gastroscopy. In addition, the vagus nerve was excited, and it made sense that he would be sweating profusely and his face would be pale.
At this time, if another doctor had changed, he would have stopped the gastroscopy, but Zuo Yongxinyi was brave and decided to continue the tube.
Now the best rescue window is missed.
The examination continues. The internal structure of the stomach can already be seen on the gastroscope display, and the examination is halfway through.
At the same time, the patient's vomiting reaction not only did not subside, but became more severe.
Chapman Webster's female secretary was full of sorrow and asked anxiously:
"Doctor, is there something wrong with my boss? You see he can't stop vomiting."
Zuo Yongxin gritted his teeth and replied:
"Ask your boss to hold on. I have already examined the duodenal bulb and gastric antrum. Now I am going to turn over the gastric camera to see the fundus of the stomach. Give me another 3 minutes."
The female secretary had no choice but to pray helplessly: "Doctor, please do a quick check-up."
Then, while wiping the boss's vomit, he endured the nausea and continued to comfort him:
"Mr. Chapman Webster, please relax and don't be nervous. This is just a small gastroscopy. I did it before, so it's not a big deal."
Chapman Webster waved his left hand irritably, which was actually a signal to stop the gastroscopy immediately. He was already in unbearable pain.
But neither Dr. Zuo nor the female secretary received this signal, thinking that the patient was struggling casually because he was too uncomfortable during the gastroscopy.
Zuo Yongxin's face was livid at this time, but now that the inspection was at the last step, it was obviously impossible for him to give up the inspection.
If the cause of the abdominal pain could not be found during the examination, he would be spanked as the attending doctor, so he wanted to take care of the whole stomach in one go. It would be uncomfortable for the patient, but it was not his doctor who was uncomfortable anyway.
So Zuo Yongxin slowly turned the stomach camera over and prepared to explore the bottom of the stomach.
At this time, the old white man who was still vomiting on the hospital bed suddenly shouted, stretched out one hand, and grabbed Zuo Yongxin's surgical gown with the other, and his whole body began to twitch.
His face was pale just now, but now it has turned purple-black.
The huge bang bang noise instantly confused everyone in the operating room. Both the doctors and nurses had a bad premonition that today might be a big upset.
"Hurry and hold him down, don't get out of bed!"
Zuo Yongxin hurriedly called the assistants and nurses next to him for help, but the white female secretary had her hands covering her mouth and her eyes were as wide as bells. She was obviously frightened.
Just when everyone was about to hold the patient firmly, the old white man who had been convulsing violently just now softened, became motionless, and lost any consciousness.
"Not good! The patient's heart and breathing have stopped."
Zuo Yongxin is a famous doctor after all. When others are still confused, he can tell at a glance that something is wrong with the patient.
So I immediately pulled out the gastroscope as quickly as possible, regardless of whether the patient's throat would be damaged.
"Hurry up and rescue, inhale oxygen, open intravenous channels, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, get the epinephrine needle quickly, and prepare electrodes for defibrillation. Whoever, don't just sit there in a daze, go to the emergency broadcast immediately, and shake people."
Every department in a top hospital has a loudspeaker, which will call if there is an emergency:
"Dudu, please pay attention to all departments, please pay attention to all departments, the endoscopy room needs emergency support, the endoscopy room needs continuous support, there is a patient with cardiorespiratory arrest who needs emergency treatment, red level."
