There was vomit on the floor that the nurse had not cleaned up in time. She was busy cleaning the young patient's mouth to prevent aspiration of vomit, which could lead to secondary pneumonia.
The emergency pediatrician rushed to the resuscitation room and began to deal with the symptoms.
Zheng Ren did not wear a white coat. Like a bystander, he came to the vomit and squatted down to take a closer look.
The vomit smelled like feces, as well as a faint smell of sulfur dioxide and alkane gas.
"It's feces. Could it really be intestinal obstruction? That's impossible. Chief Zhou should be able to tell if it was intestinal obstruction. "Su Yun also squatted down and carefully examined the vomit.
"Cotton swabs," Zheng Ren said.
Su Yun glared at him, stood up, and went to the treatment room that was open to take two sterile gloves and a bag of cotton swabs.
If the head nurse of the emergency department was here, she would definitely scold him again.
One or two cotton swabs were enough, but he actually took a bag. It was a waste, a classic waste. However, Su Yun never cared about waste. It was not his style to be calculative.
Zheng Ren put on sterile gloves and first dipped a cotton swab in the vomit to take a closer look. It looked and smelled like feces, which was strange to look at.
Su Yun simply put on sterile gloves and dipped a finger in the vomit. He held it in front of Zheng Ren and said mischievously, "Boss, take a closer look."
Zheng Ren frowned. "It's disgusting. Stay away from me."
"When I was in school, I joked with my dorm leader by dipping my finger in salt and putting it in my mouth."
"Did you put the other finger?"
"Are you sure?"
"This little trick … The young patient's vomit doesn't look right. I'll go take a look at him." Zheng Ren said as he stood up, took off his gloves, and threw them into the treatment room's trash can. Then, he strode to the resuscitation room.
A young and delicate woman less than thirty years old was holding a child with red eyes. She gently patted the child in her arms, seemingly coaxing him to sleep.
"Doctor, is everything okay?" the child's mother asked.
"There's a problem. It's considered intestinal obstruction." Zhou Litao frowned and said, "Take the child to do an X-ray first."
After saying that, he arranged for the emergency pediatrician to follow them for a checkup. He was afraid that a similar situation would occur during the checkup. If it was not handled properly and caused aspiration, it would be very troublesome.
Very soon, the pediatrician of the emergency department left with the child and the child's mother in a hurry with the first aid kit.
"Chief Zhou, what patient?" Su Yun asked.
"Half a year ago, he came for a consultation for the first time. There was an injury on his arm. He said that he accidentally scratched the child. I gave him two stitches and went back after the treatment, "Zhou Litao said.
"So careless?" Zheng Ren frowned and muttered to himself.
"Who knows? The child's mother looks like a careful person, and she cares a lot about her child. I just don't know why she's always injured or sick." Zhou Litao sighed. "I'm used to it."
"How many times has it been?" Zheng Ren asked with a frown as he looked in the direction where the child had left.
"After one external injury, the rest are diarrhea and vomiting. I told her to take the child to the pediatric hospital for a thorough examination. However, she has been hospitalized and the examination has been done, but no problems were found. "
"This time is still considered good. Last … One night three months ago, when I was still the chief resident, the child vomited so much that he was almost suffocating. After resuscitation, he was sent to the pediatric hospital for treatment."
"Did you find anything?" Su Yun asked.
"No, he improved the next day. I heard that he was discharged from the hospital on the fourth day," Zhou Litao said. "No one has a special way to treat congenital gastrointestinal dysfunction. I've taken all the medicine I should take, and I've done all the necessary tests. "
Zheng Ren's brows furrowed even tighter. He narrowed his eyes with some doubt in his eyes.
"Boss, what are you thinking?" Su Yun asked behind him.
"Let's look at the results of the examination. I don't know if there's any intestinal obstruction," Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.
Su Yun seemed to hear something strange. He asked doubtfully, "Boss, do you think there's no intestinal obstruction?"
"Didn't you just say that you want to see the results of the examination? Didn't you hear me? "Zheng Ren said.
"Tsk, from your tone, it doesn't seem like you're looking forward to the results of the examination. Do you have your own judgment?" Su Yun said disdainfully.
"Yes, I don't think the possibility of intestinal obstruction is high," Zheng Ren said.
As he spoke, his tone became erratic.
Zhou Litao was a little puzzled. This time, the young patient's condition was very serious. He had determined that it was acute gastroenteritis accompanied by acute intestinal obstruction. He had already instructed the emergency pediatrician to send him directly to the Department of Pediatrics if there was intestinal obstruction.
The technical strength of the Department of Pediatrics in 912 could not be said to be too strong, but it was not weak either. It was not a problem to deal with a child's intestinal obstruction that was more than 20 months old.
But how did Boss Zheng determine the condition? Why did he say that it did not look like intestinal obstruction?!
Zhou Litao was full of doubts.
"Chief Zhou, come to the office and tell me about the patient's situation." Zheng Ren was also thinking about something, and his voice was a little erratic.
The nurses were still dealing with the battlefield, cleaning up the trash, and sweeping the floor. If a place like the Emergency Department was not cleaned often, it would probably be full of blood and vomit. It would be impossible to look at it.
Once it was summer, there would be blood in the corridor. Swarms of flies would swarm over and could not be chased away.
"The first time the child came, he was 13 months old. He had minor injuries and was discharged after suturing. The second time he came, he was 13 and a half months old with influenza and pneumonia. The third time … "
Zhou Litao was indeed capable and experienced, or perhaps he had a deep impression of this patient. He did not need to look at the information to dictate the medical records of the small patient over the past six months.
At first, his condition was still relatively complicated. There were injuries and influenza, but later, the main illness was focused on the digestive system.
Vomiting, diarrhea, and so on were mainly acute gastroenteritis.
The last time he came to the Emergency Department was half a month ago. It was also acute gastroenteritis. The condition was relatively light. After a few days of infusion and symptomatic treatment, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
After saying that, Zhou Litao sighed. "The child's mother looks really pitiful. I think she's been tormented for the past six months."
"Raising a child means you have to bear the consequences. You can't treat it yourself at home, right?" Su Yun said. "This is still considered good. Knowing that the child is sick, she carried him to the hospital. I don't think she's bored. She treats the child well. "
Zheng Ren crossed his arms and pondered. He did not comment on Su Yun and Zhou Litao's words.
Su Yun saw Zheng Ren's heavy expression and was slightly stunned. He felt that something was wrong and began to think about the whole thing.
The atmosphere in the consultation room instantly became strange.
Zhou Litao looked at Zheng Ren and Su Yun in confusion. It was obvious that there should be no possibility of a misdiagnosis. What were Boss Zheng and Brother Yun thinking about?
