When checking for equipment failure, the pressure cooker exploded, 95% of his body was overheated and 75% of his body was severely burned. Later, he suffered from epilepsy and lost his memory. A man in his forties suddenly turned into an "old man" with injuries all over his body. Child". Fortunately, his wife never left him and took good care of him. Now, he can take care of himself in a simple way, and he and his wife can also teach other patients.

In front of his wife, he is like a child

Yesterday, the reporter saw a patient with extensive burns from the face down in the ward of Suzhou Ruisheng Rehabilitation Hospital. Wearing a pressure garment and a hospital gown, he sat upright at the table and wrote like a child. Next to him stood a woman in her early forties. The patient held the pen with his unrecognizable left hand and struggled to copy and write on the paper. Every time he finished a word, he would raise his head and look at the woman next to him. The woman would say: "Oh, that's good! Husband, you are great!" Hearing his wife say this, he seemed to be greatly inspired and continued writing with confidence.

It is difficult for many people to imagine that this is a patient who suffered severe burns to 75% of his body and later lost all his memory due to an epileptic seizure; and the woman beside him is his wife, and now I have taken good care of him for 3 years and 7 months.

There are too many difficulties in this step

The pressure cooker exploded and severely burned him

The patient’s name is Chang Yonglin was born in 1968; his wife's name is Shi Liping, who is four years younger than him. Both of them are from Wuxi. Before the accident, Chang Yonglin had electric welding skills and ran a small shop with his wife.

On March 23, 2011, Chang Yonglin helped a company in Wuxi inspect a faulty pressure cooker. He didn't expect that there was still gas in the pot. As soon as he got close to the pressure cooker, a large fireball erupted from it and enveloped him instantly. He was thrown straight against the wall and bounced back to the ground. When people outside saw the fire in the equipment room, they immediately came to put out the fire. Immediately, Chang Yonglin was sent to the hospital.

After Chang Yonglin’s accident, Shi Liping only saw him four days later. At that time, Chang Yonglin was lying in the intensive care unit, his whole body bandaged tightly, like a "mummy". After that, Chang Yonglin stayed in the intensive care unit for a full 75 days. During that time, Chang Yonglin's body temperature could not be measured, he was not breathing, and his heartbeat was only beating slightly. The hospital issued critical illness notices many times.

She helped her husband turn over every hour

Chang Yonglin was moved out of the intensive care unit and admitted to the general ward. Due to the large burn area on his body, Shi Liping had to help him turn over every hour. In addition, itching of the skin at the burn site is the most painful. Chang Yonglin often sits up after lying down for two minutes, and feels tired and lies down again within two minutes of sitting. During that time, Shi Liping never rested regularly.

Shi Liping told reporters: "At that time, he could not live without people 24 hours a day. He had to be helped by others to eat, drink, poop and sleep. He lived in darkness every day."

Because Chang Yonglin's feet were not The injury was not too serious and he could still move. He thought he was not seriously injured and had to get out of bed when he regained consciousness. Finally one day, Shi Liping couldn't resist him and she and the nurse helped him get out of bed. As a result, Chang Yonglin felt dizzy and weak as soon as he got out of bed. Shi Liping, who was petite and thin, supported him and walked forward.

Sudden epilepsy, cognitive and memory loss

After staying in Wuxi Third Hospital for 17 months, Chang Yonglin was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. Unexpectedly, just 20 days later, Chang Yonglin suffered another epileptic seizure and was admitted to Wuxi Third Hospital for rescue. After eight months in a coma, Chang Yonglin woke up, but lost his memory and knew nothing. Shi Liping told him: "Your name is Chang Yonglin, and I am your wife." I thought Chang Yonglin would remember it, but unexpectedly, Chang Yonglin didn't even know what his wife was. When feeding him once, Chang Yonglin said: "My wife is not good to me, saying that I have changed my color." Shi Liping couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and quickly coaxed him: "Okay, your wife is not good, but we have to eat first , to make yourself full."

Shi Liping also told reporters that she once took Chang Yonglin to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Chang Yonglin was attracted by a duck because of him. She no longer had any memory of "duck", so she pointed at the duck and asked, "What is this?" Shi Liping explained to him: "This is a duck." After saying that, she took Chang Yonglin and squatted in front of the cage to observe the duck. Squat for a long time.

The recovery progress is so rapid that even the doctors were surprised

Long Qingyan, deputy director of the Bone and Joint Rehabilitation Department of Ruisheng Rehabilitation Hospital, said: "Chang Yonglin's burnt area exceeds 90%. It’s a very serious burn.” However, all the doctors and nurses in the hospital gave unanimous comments: “Chang Yonglin’s recovery is progressing very quickly, which is unexpected in many aspects.”

Before the rehabilitation training, Chang Yonglin's hands were as stiff as wood, and he could not move his fingers or wrists. His life was completely dependent on the care of others. He can now raise his arms to face level and feed himself. "It is precisely because of his wife's persistence and careful care that Chang Yonglin was able to recover so well." Long Qingyan said.
