Love That Extends Life

Chapter 158: Respect the Elderly and Others’ Elders

"This..." Doctor Chen Wenhao was stunned again. In fact, he knew many of the hospital's systems very well. If he were a patient, sometimes he would not want to go to the hospital for treatment. However, some hospitals are commercialized for profit, which is something a doctor cannot control. Doctors can only protect themselves. Take high blood pressure as an example. Almost all hospitals say that patients must take medicine for life. If it is for the elderly in their seventies or eighties, it is acceptable. However, for middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, long-term medication will cause the side effects of antihypertensive drugs to be fatal. In fact, every doctor knows that the reason why the human body has pathological changes is that the balance of yin and yang in the human body has been broken. If the balance of yin and yang is not restored as a whole, a single treatment cannot completely cure the disease.

Dr. Chen Wenhao could not debate the issues of modern medicine with Wu Yanzi, and the first thing he thought of was Qin Jianye's condition.

"Little health nurse, I will arrange for the doctor to do a cervical MRI for the old leader to see if there is any lesion in the cervical spine!" Doctor Chen Wenhao said as he opened the door and went out.

After Dr. Chen Wenhao walked out of the ward, Qin Jianye, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes and looked at Wu Yanzi.

"Young doctor, the headache you just mentioned is caused by cervical spondylosis. Can you be more specific? By the way, do you have any treatment method?" Qin Jianye asked.

"Uncle, have you felt any soreness or numbness in the back of your neck recently?" Wu Yanzi asked with a smile.

Qin Jianye thought for a moment and said slowly, "Yes! I did have this feeling, but it came and went for about a month. I thought it was due to a stiff neck from sleeping, so I didn't say anything."

"Uncle, that's right. The cervical vertebrae are divided into 7 sections, and each lesion of the cervical vertebrae will have corresponding symptoms. There is a problem with your second cervical vertebra. According to the symptoms, it should be a herniated disc of the cervical vertebra, which compresses the spinal nerves and causes occipital neuralgia. Of course, high blood pressure cervical spondylosis and myofasciitis of the neck can also cause tension headaches. But when I massaged the old man, I ruled out these two possibilities, because this kind of tension headache has a diffuse range and is often a full headache. According to my exploration, the old man's headache is mainly in the occipital area, and then radiates to both sides of the forehead. When I pressed the acupuncture points on the old man's head, I could distinguish the area of ​​tenderness reaction, which is the distribution area of ​​the occipital nerve. For the old man's cervical spondylosis, general medication has little effect, but the condition will recur. Surgical treatment is very risky, so I think the best treatment is acupuncture plus Chinese medicine, which will completely cure the condition."

"Okay, little doctor, I understand what I'm doing." Qin Jianye said, waving his hand.

At this time, Qin Jianye suddenly remembered something. He smiled and said, "By the way, little doctor, I have two questions for you. You can answer them or not. These are just questions out of my personal curiosity."

"Okay, old man, tell me about it." Wu Yanzi nodded in agreement.

"Young doctor, when you started to treat me, I saw your eyes were wet. Have you been wronged? Also, I'm afraid that discussing my condition with Dr. Chen will affect your future work. Have you thought about the consequences?" Qin Jianye asked the two curious questions in his mind, and he was waiting for Wu Yanzi's answer.

"Uncle, for the first question, I didn't feel wronged. Because when I saw how you were sick, I thought of my grandmother in the countryside, so I felt a little touched. Maybe it's better to respect the elderly as well as the elderly of others! Well, for the second question, in my opinion, there is no distinction between doctors and patients. Doctors are kind-hearted, and kindness means charity and open-mindedness! But where do doctors come from? Doctors exist because of patients. If a doctor has no patients in his heart and only thinks about his own gains and losses, then where is his kindness? Haha... As for the consequences, it doesn't matter. I am..." When Wu Yanzi said this, she shook her head helplessly. As for her bitterness and pain, there was no need to say it.

Just as the ward had become quiet, the door was suddenly pushed open and Dr. Chen Wenhao and Dr. Ma Jingren walked in together.

Doctor Chen Wenhao immediately smiled and said, "Old leader, I have discussed it with Chief Physician Ma, and we think we should do an MRI of the cervical spine. After all, the diagnosis of CT equipment is not very accurate."

"Okay!" Qin Jianye agreed readily.

At this time, Doctor Chen Wenhao glanced at Wu Yanzi who was standing beside him, and said coldly: "Little health worker, there is nothing for you to do here, go back!"

"I understand, Dr. Chen." Wu Yanzi nodded, then waved at Qin Jianye and Qin Yixuan before turning around and leaving.

After Wu Yanzi left, Qin Jianye's face turned cold.

"Let's go! Let's go do an MRI." Qin Jianye said.

Patients can easily feel the kindness of doctors. As Wu Yanzi said, patients cannot feel the kindness of doctors who care about gains and losses.

The results of the MRI came out quickly. According to the MRI imaging, Qin Jianye did have a herniated disc in the second cervical vertebra, which was consistent with Wu Yanzi's diagnosis and analysis.

Qin Jianye's headache was caused by cervical spondylosis. After the results of the MRI examination came out, Dr. Chen Wenhao immediately changed his statement. He believed that the equipment caused his diagnosis.

After Qin Jianye returned to the ward, Dr. Chen Wenhao followed him to the ward. He wanted to propose a treatment plan for Qin Jianye.

"Expert Qin, the MRI results just now showed that my father's headache is caused by cervical spondylosis. I wonder how to treat it?" Qin Yixuan took the initiative to ask Doctor Chen Wenhao.

Doctor Chen Wenhao pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Deputy Director Qin, there are currently two treatment options for the old leader's cervical spine problem. The first is conservative drug treatment, which is to control the cervical spine problem as much as possible, while avoiding cervical spine fatigue, otherwise it will easily relapse. The second is surgical treatment, which has the best effect. I recommend surgical treatment, which is the only way to eliminate the cause of the disease."

"Oh, that's right." Qin Yixuan nodded. She was thinking about the two treatment options. "By the way, Expert Qin, are there any risks in surgical treatment?"

"Deputy Director Qin, there is no surgery without risks. However, with the development of modern medical technology, the risks of surgeries such as those on the cervical and lumbar spine are almost negligible." Doctor Chen Wenhao replied with a smile.

After listening to Dr. Chen Wenhao's words, Qin Yixuan knew that the risks of surgical treatment were still there, but the risks were smaller.

"Okay, Expert Chen. As for the treatment plan, I need to consult my father and my family, and then we can come up with a unified opinion to determine the treatment plan."

"Okay then! By the way, Deputy Director Qin, the old leader still needs to take his blood pressure medication on time. Blood pressure and blood vessel problems cannot be ignored."

After giving Dr. Chen Wenhao and Qin Yixuan a few words of advice, he left the ward.
