Recently, my wife's right knee joint often hurts. I don't know when it started. This is accumulated over the years, and it is getting more and more serious. Now the right knee joint has been deformed, and the bones of the lower limbs are slightly outward. Sometimes it hurts so much that I can't sleep, reaching the degree of pain of 4 degrees. If left untreated, it will definitely affect the knee joint of the other limb and foot. Under my "encouragement", my wife gave up all hesitation, so we braved the scorching sun to go to the First Affiliated Hospital of the provincial capital for medical treatment.
Do your homework in advance and make an appointment online. 13 On the morning of Tuesday, July 2, 2003, Dr. Zhang, an orthopedic surgeon, took a look and said, "The bone of the right knee has been deformed, and joint replacement can be done. However, well said, not well said, surgery is also risky. If you can take care of yourself without affecting your daily life, you don't need to have surgery. "
Whether to have an operation or not, the patient decides for himself, and the doctor doesn't make a decision. My wife has been to the hospital in my hometown before. The doctor said, "Your joint is the original joint brought out of the womb. Don't replace it easily unless you have to. " Foreign artificial ornaments may not be suitable for you, and there is a life limit. Artificial joints can last for 20 years. "As soon as my wife heard that the life span of artificial joints is only 20 years at most, she has been holding back the pain. If she can bear it, she will have to wait until she is 60 to have the operation. This life is enough, and you don't have to change it for the second time at the age of 80. However, many things often backfire, and destiny takes a hand's life is not so easy. As long as you walk, work, do housework, or get tired, at night, you will settle all the hard work together. In Minnan dialect, it is called "throwing away during the day, fighting tigers during the day." "During the day, I don't know the pain, because I concentrate on my work. I feel sick before going to bed at night. Sometimes I put some medicine, sometimes I put some ointment, sometimes I put some mint ice, and sometimes I take some painkillers, so I can barely sleep. After muddle through, the next day, I often "forget the pain after healing the scar", and I forgot the pain last night. Life is always alternating day and night, and the wife's life is always alternating between joint pain and forgetting pain.
My wife's knee has been hurting for years. Chinese medicine has been treated with physical therapy, acupuncture, massage and cupping ... when it comes to taking medicine, I have eaten more than a few baskets. Chinese medicine, in particular, has also changed several doctors. Almost all doctors are used to prescribing six tablets for patients, and even more exaggerated is that some doctors prescribe twelve tablets at a time. I bought several jars for decocting medicine. Doctors don't see less and take less medicine, but they don't get better. I have taken several kinds of western medicines, but they all treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. In the long run, internal organs will also be damaged, especially the heart, liver and kidneys.
When my knee is sore, I think I'd better take the time to have an operation. A little better, I think, just stick to it. People walk on two legs, one left and one right, one tandem; Our thoughts always swing from side to side. When swinging from side to side, I struggled to push my life forward and limped to live a good life.
I didn't know what a sea of people was until I got to the affiliated hospital of the provincial capital, and I didn't know what overcrowding was. You hesitate to be hospitalized. There is no shortage of patients in big hospitals. You are determined to be hospitalized, but there is no bed. If you want to stay, you must check out at the day clinic first. After making out the bill, you have to check this and that. When epidemic prevention, we should first do nucleic acid testing. Then check urine and stool, blood test, electrocardiogram, ultrasound, CT, MRI ... In a big hospital, the patient is full and anxious, take your time. You start the exam on Tuesday and finish it at noon on Sunday. Looking at the problem from the perspective of a big hospital, this speed is fast and slow. The patient should be calm and obey the doctor's arrangement. The inspection should be gradual and the hospital should be orderly. If you are in a hurry, you must come safely.

I stayed at home outside the First Affiliated Hospital for three nights. Looking forward to being bored and anxious, I finally went through the formalities on Thursday afternoon and lived in the surgical building of the hospital, building 8 19, with a bed of ××. The surgical building is the tallest building in the hospital, with 26 floors. The majestic surgical building is also the most luxurious building in the hospital. A stranger, with no sense of direction. I don't know whether the ward faces south or north. The room has three beds, and it still looks crowded. At night, if each patient is accompanied by a family member, three beds will be needed, and the whole ward will be particularly crowded. When my wife and I moved in, because my wife had not had surgery, we were huddled in a hospital bed, facing the opposite direction and barely lying flat. Sometimes the accompanying person sleeps soundly, and it is inevitable that sometimes the patient will occupy more than half of the bed, but the patient will curl up and dare not turn over. Later, I rented a small bamboo bed from the nurse and made a floor beside my wife's bed, which did not affect the patient's rest.
We just settled down, and soon, the medical staff brought a patient who had just finished surgery and put him in the hospital bed next door. After more than two hours, a miracle appeared. The doctor who operated on her came and asked her if she was awake. Then she woke up and let her walk on the ground, with the help of a four-legged cane, of course. Then, the doctor taught her how to exercise. I explained it carefully and patiently. We gathered around curiously, hoping to learn some useful experiences in nursing and rehabilitation. At this time, we observed closely that this elder sister is about 60 years old and well maintained. Needless to say, she is a high-class beauty. Today, this charm still exists. Although the operation lasted for several hours, there was no haggard. The first thing I do when I wake up is to put makeup on that beautiful face and then put lipstick on my lips. Her beauty touched my husband and wife, and my wife whispered to me, "What a beautiful sister!" " However, the son and daughter-in-law of the elder sister who stayed aside were anxious about the elder sister's behavior and quickly stopped saying, "You are here for surgery, not for tourism. "Her son pursed his lips a little unhappily.
In the communication with her son and daughter-in-law, we learned that the sister of the patient in the next bed also had knee replacement surgery. The next morning, with the help of four-legged crutches, my sister was able to walk to the door of the ward by herself. Her son doesn't want her to go that far, otherwise she can go further. When I saw her going forward, I casually said "striding forward" and she burst out laughing. Sister also hired a nurse to help. Nursing workers are mainly responsible for helping push patients into the operating room, taking patients to the hospital bed, taking pictures of patients, helping patients turn over, washing their hair, taking a bath, carrying urine and calling nurses. The elder sister of the patient, the provincial capital, likes to say "I have money." She likes traveling. It is said that only Africa in the world has never been there. There is also a "donkey friend". She also proudly asks you, "Do you know what a donkey friend is?"
When she said "I have money", the daughter-in-law who stood by quickly added: "It's not really rich, it's her mantra." The patient's sister likes to dance square dance and is very active. From her son's words, some reasons for her poor knee were vaguely stated. In my opinion, the cause is not necessarily tourism and square dance, but it is very important for self-maintenance of the body, but it is true. This afternoon, four days after the operation, she was discharged from the hospital. After she left the hospital, there were only me, my wife and another patient in the ward. The small room suddenly quieted down, and when she got home, she could have a nice long sleep. In the ward, it is rare to be quiet now. I hope we can sleep better tonight.

Another patient in the next room is a middle-aged man of medium build, a young man of about forty years old. It is said that last year, due to a car accident, the femoral head of the left leg was comminuted and treated conservatively. I didn't expect bacteria to breed in the steel nail, and the femoral head was inflamed and necrotic. I suffered twice when I came to the operation this time. He also had surgery on Thursday afternoon. You can walk on the ground the next day. The long and short feet were very serious before the operation, and the feet were almost the same length after the operation. His chief physician, Dr. Li, came to see him in the ward almost every day and was told to walk every time. Dr. Li took a video for him and sent it to the official WeChat account. Dr. Li is very happy to see the patient recovering day by day. Dr. Li said, "Our prestige lies in his legs." Every time Dr. Li sends a video, he wants us to help forward it. He likes it. The patient recovered and the doctor felt a great sense of accomplishment. It embodies Dr. Li's sense of responsibility and meticulous care for patients, and also embodies Dr. Li's full love. From these details, we see a good doctor-patient relationship, a sincere and pure doctor-patient relationship.
The patient next door, his wife is also a temporary worker and a doctor, so she can't take time off to accompany him. He also asked the nurse for help. Ask the nurse for help. Some people say yes, others say no, why? The best way is to package the hospital services. However, this may not be possible at present. When hospitals package services, patients have to pay more. If wool grows on sheep, the cost of treatment will go up. According to the patient's needs, it is better for the patient to decide whether to invite a nurse.
The patient next door recovered quickly. But I haven't been discharged so soon. Because it is necessary to cultivate bacteria, detect the types of bacteria, and then prescribe the right medicine to kill the bacteria in the femoral head. After the trauma is handled and the bacteria are cured, you can leave the hospital. This patient is also from the provincial capital, not far from the hospital. His mother, son and daughter all came to visit him. After coming for a while, he shouted back.

At noon, we go to have lunch. When I came back, I found a young woman in the elevator room with a business card in a gap in the elevator wall. Looking at her curiously, she took the opportunity to sell it as a drop of water. We repeatedly said "no, no". We got off the elevator and she got off, because this elevator only goes to the 19th floor. In the passage of the elevator, she skillfully stuffed her business card into every crack in the wall. The door of the stairs is also guarded by a nurse, and I don't know how she got in. Soon after we arrived in the ward, she went door to door to sell and distribute business cards. I stood by the bed and she came to sell it again. I said I just sold it. She immediately said, "Fate."
In the afternoon, another young man came to the ward and also handed out the business card of "Didi Yang". People in the ward then talked about it and thought that Didi financing had been commercialized. There are so many people who divide business cards, it must be considerable. Otherwise, who has such great motivation? The young man said, "The money raised by Didi belongs to the patients, and their wages are paid by the insurance company." From a philosophical point of view, "truth will never be known."
Then, everyone said a word, and I said it in one sentence: Didi travel should be very few, especially those who are extremely poor. By extension, it's crazy. In this way, the sympathy of the public is gradually exhausted, and Didi Travel will lose its true colors. It is really wrong for some people to raise money from the society even though their family economic level is not bad.

At noon on July 20th, Tuesday, around 1 20, the sickbed truck in the operating room came to the door of the ward to pick up the patient. We quickly took the CT film, and my wife immediately got into bed and set off for the operating room. The operating room is on the fifth floor. Family members are waiting in the waiting room lobby. There are fifty or sixty seats in the front and back rows of the hall. It was almost all packed when we went. Besides sitting and standing, there are people wandering back and forth. It's noisy and noisy, just like a heated discussion in the big classroom during recess. For some reason, the display screen in the waiting room hall is broken. Call the patient's family to the "consultation room" with a megaphone, and the voice of the megaphone is hoarse. Only the names of relatives can be heard clearly by family members. For the hospital, maybe this is enough.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the horn rang again, calling his wife's name. As a family member, I rushed to the discussion room. A nurse in a white coat showed me a piece of 4A paper about anesthesia. I'll just browse, write down the words "agree to anesthesia" and sign your name, as well as your wife's name. I don't remember what Teacher Zhang wrote, except that anesthesia is risky. Signing it means I'm willing to take my own risks. My browsing time is very short, just for fear of delaying the precious time of the operation. When patients came to the hospital, they gave their lives to doctors and nurses. We came all the way to the provincial capital because we trust the hospitals in the provincial capital more and believe that the medical resources here are better.
Waiting anxiously in the lobby outside the operating room, pushing out postoperative patients from time to time. Adults are fine, lying on the cart quietly and feebly, being pushed around. I witnessed two children crying and fighting, struggling up and down with their hands and feet. With relatives around, worry can't comfort him. I know it's the pain when the anesthetic wears off.
The whole hall was crowded with families standing, and the passage was tightly surrounded. A doctor-looking man came out, trying not to get angry, and said sharply, "Go back to your seat and don't squeeze into the passage." Call the name to answer it. "I can see that the family members of the patients are very anxious and stand on tiptoe, looking forward to it. The noise of the whole hall is one after another, and all the family members waiting outside the operating room are expecting their loved ones to be safe and smooth, and to launch the operating room as soon as possible.
Every time the door of the operating room opens, everyone cranes their necks to look inside. At half past four in the afternoon, the door opened again. The nurse called his wife's name and asked if the family members had come. I hurried into the gate. Dr. Zhang said with joy: the operation was very successful and smooth, and the foot can be straightened. "I hold Zhang's hand, bother to thank Zhang. By 6: 30 pm, the nurse pushed his wife into the ward and the operation was a complete success.

My wife was pushed back to the ward and I relayed what Dr. Zhang said to her. The wife who just woke up from the hazy consciousness of anesthetic was moved to tears. The husband and wife are bathed in the kind sunshine of Dr. Zhang, and the heat flow of gratitude is rippling in our hearts. Dr. zhang is approachable and amiable, and his image in our hearts is getting higher and higher.

Dr. Zhang still has many apertures in his head, but he still retains kindness and simple love and always smiles at patients.
