Chapter 227 The Patient Who Courted Death: Blood Sugar 20+ - Appetizer - Ketoacidosis!

"Brother Zhang! Over here!!"

A private room in a restaurant.

At that moment, Lan Ziwei waved to Zhang Lingchuan.

Because of their status as public figures, they can only eat in enclosed spaces.

If Lan Ziwei wanted to eat barbecue skewers or something, she would have to be fully armed if she went out to buy them herself.

It's actually quite inconvenient.

However, since we're eating this meal and earning this penny, we must also face the aftereffects it brings.

"Sister Ziwei, Sister Lu, you are too kind. You are so busy, yet you still thought of treating me to a meal."

After Zhang Lingchuan arrived, he spoke to the two of them.

“Brother Zhang, for a big shot like you, Sister Lu and I need to keep in touch more often. We can’t let our relationship fade, or we won’t even know when the King of Hell sneaks over.”

Lan Ziwei appeared quite lively on the show.

However, Zhang Lingchuan discovered in private that the other party was a real character, with a very likable personality.

Despite being a popular young actress, she has no airs whatsoever.

"That's right, that's right. If it weren't for you, Brother Zhang, I might not have discovered it until I had otitis media. I would have regretted it if my hearing had been damaged. So I can't let Ziwei cling to my leg alone. I have to hold on to her tightly too."

Zhou Lu said this in a joking manner.

"Um... Sister Lulu, it's one thing for Sister Ziwei to make a fuss, but you're joining in too. If your ear pain persists for a while, you'll probably go to the hospital anyway. How could you possibly let your otitis media get to such a serious stage?"

Generally speaking, celebrities pay a lot of attention to their health.

If symptoms appear and gradually become uncontrollable, I will definitely go to the hospital immediately.

"It's hard to say... My schedule is really packed with performances lately. I might think it's just a minor symptom and let it get worse before I go to the hospital. Zhang Ge, come to my concert sometime!"

Zhou Lu smiled and extended an invitation to Zhang Lingchuan.

"Sister Lulu...what about me? You can invite Brother Zhang, right?"

As soon as Zhou Lu finished speaking, Lan Ziwei looked pitiful.

"..."

Zhou Lu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Overall, the meal was quite enjoyable.

We didn't part ways until 9 p.m.

After we finished eating, we went out for a walk.

As for whether we encountered anyone who needed emergency care, that was definitely not the case.

After all, it would be terrible to encounter this every day.

It's 9:30 p.m.

Zhang Lingchuan returned to his dormitory.

Prince Beller is not here today.

The dormitory returned to its usual quietness, but he felt fine, since he was already used to it.

Song Wanqing sent a message that evening.

The day before, Saturday morning, arrived.

Song Wanqing's chopped chili fish head stopped at the school gate.

Yes.

The other party has a very full schedule.

Today was another day of providing free medical consultations in rural areas.

From today until the end of September, Zhang Lingchuan will be either going to rural areas for free clinics, seeing patients at animal clinics, or traveling back and forth to the provincial hospital.

I've been working at the hospital these days.

Of course, he also learned about Aunt Zhu, who was fearless and had been in the ICU for almost ten days.

September 30th.

Grandma Zhu's trachea was successfully removed, her vital signs stabilized, and she finally regained some consciousness.

The husband and daughter wept tears of joy at the bedside.

Previously, whether they asked the doctor or their cousin, they had heard that the severe allergic reaction to the contrast agent and the long period of coma could lead to a vegetative state.

A person in a vegetative state is someone who is basically unable to wake up.

Unless a miracle happens at some point.

But generally speaking, the chances of a vegetative state patient like Aunt Zhu, who is over sixty years old, waking up are actually very slim.

"I, I am..."

When Aunt Zhu opened her eyes, she saw her husband and daughter, and her expression immediately became somewhat confused.

She only remembered that she was going to have a coronary angiography, and the moment the medicine was injected into her body, she inexplicably felt numbness on her scalp, discomfort all over her body, and her heart was racing. Most importantly, she couldn't breathe and felt like she was suffocating.

The final scene then shows a group of doctors surrounding him.

She then lost consciousness.

But wait until you open your eyes again.

She was surprised to see her husband and daughter.

The husband was in tears, and his daughter's eyes also reddened.

How is this going?

"Mom! You're finally awake! Do you know how many days you've been unconscious?!"

Zhu Wenya held her mother's hand and began to speak.

"Oh! Do you know you were unconscious for ten days? It was like walking through the gates of hell!"

Grandpa Cao, who already had some gray hair, has had all his hair turn completely white in just ten days.

Furthermore, the person's face bore an indescribable look of haggardness.

It's clear that although Aunt Zhu is usually domineering and arrogant, her status at home seems to be as heavy as her weight.

"Ah... ten days? I... I was unconscious for ten days?"

Aunt Zhu, who had just regained consciousness, looked utterly shocked.

But she is completely unable to move now.

Otherwise, she would at least want to check her phone to see if her husband and daughter were lying to her.

"Mom, take a look."

But her daughter, Zhu Wenya, immediately brought out her phone.

Then the time was displayed.

At 9:30 on December 8.

"Um... well, have my results come back yet? Is it coronary heart disease?"

Seeing the time on her phone, Zhu Panxiang finally believed that she had been in a coma for ten days.

Because she had a coronary angiography on September 20th.

I wonder what the outcome is now.

"What! What do you want the results for? Are you planning to go find that Dr. Ogawa and give him another dressing down?"

"Uncle Cao asked in an annoyed tone!"

"The Cao Kingdom is divided!"

Upon hearing Grandpa Cao say this, Zhu Panxiang stared at him in utter disbelief and uttered three words!

This is naturally the name of her husband, Grandpa Cao.

"Mom, don't blame Dad for being angry. You didn't have to be in a coma for so long. It was all because you wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on having a heart angiography, which caused an allergic reaction. If it weren't for Dr. Xiaochuan's rescue, you would be dead now."

At the same time, a slightly overweight middle-aged man walked over with some fruit.

This is Cao Guofen and Zhu Panxiang's son, Cao Zhuyong.

The couple has a son and a daughter.

The eldest son takes the father's surname, while the younger daughter takes the mother's surname.

As a son, I naturally know my mother's temper.

But it should be as it is.

"Him? I'm dead?"

Zhu Panxiang frowned.

This was clearly something she couldn't understand.

Then her family told her everything that had happened.

……

Half an hour later.

"So you've been wasting your time. Intercostal neuralgia is not the same as angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease. You didn't listen to the doctor and are now making a mess of things."

Old Cao dared to speak loudly now.

I never dared to speak loudly before.

The main point is that he is in the right in this matter.

"This……"

Zhu Panxiang had mixed feelings.

She felt as if her face was being slapped repeatedly.

Because she had previously made some outrageous remarks, saying that others might thank her, a heartless doctor, but there was absolutely no way she, Zhu Panxiang, would.

But now her life was saved by the other party.

"Anyway, when Mom is discharged from the hospital, we'll send her a banner to express our gratitude. Mom, you shouldn't have any objections, right? You can't be so attached to something that you can't let go of it, can you?"

Zhu Wenya and Cao Zhuyong both looked at Zhu Panxiang.

What could Zhu Panxiang say?

Again.

This ordeal was indeed one that I recognized as such.

Dr. Ogawa not only helped her once, but also helped her a second time when she was being scolded.

She really wanted to slap herself.

How can you be so narrow-minded?

Sigh, this is also due to my own habits over the years. If it weren't for him, I might have died at the age of sixty.

He nodded.

Once she recovers, she will present Dr. Xiaochuan with a banner of appreciation.

He'll apologize in person then, and slap himself twice in the face.

She thought so.

But Zhang Lingchuan was unaware of this at the moment.

He didn't even know that Aunt Zhu had woken up.

These two days.

He worked as a construction worker at the hospital, either accompanying his teacher's wife or Dr. Fang Yuan on ward rounds.

Yes. The teacher's wife said that all the necessary hospital procedures must be followed.

I definitely need to learn how to do ward rounds.

Although he is currently just an intern.

So that morning, Zhang Lingchuan arrived at the hospital very early.

If there are ward rounds, they start in the morning, usually between 8:30 and 9:00.

"Ogawa's here."

At 8:30, Zhang Lingchuan put on his white coat and went to make rounds with Dr. Fang Yuan, Yin Xiaoxiao, and others.

Fang Yuan greeted Zhang Lingchuan with a smile.

"Fortunately I'm not late."

Zhang Lingchuan smiled.

After all, to ensure that we can arrive on time for the 8:30 pm ward rounds, we have to leave before 8:00 am.

"No rush, no rush. We don't have many beds to manage anyway. Let's go to that old lady's bed from yesterday first."

Fang Yuan then began to speak.

They admitted an elderly woman to their emergency department a few days ago; she had a stroke.

Because there were no beds available in the neurology ward, I am temporarily staying in the emergency room.

Current examinations have revealed that the other party has hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

None of these three ailments were treated with medication regularly.

There is almost no doubt that he didn't follow the doctor's advice, so it's likely that all three of his cerebral infarction problems are related to this.

Now the neurology department has prescribed various medications and requires patients to take them on time, while also instructing them to control their diet.

Fang Yuan's responsibility was to check on the patients in the wards and keep records.

The head of neurology was originally supposed to go.

But yesterday, this old lady made his blood pressure rise.

Let the emergency room go get checked first today.

"This old lady is really something. She was told to control her starch intake and avoid sweets, but on the second day after being admitted to the hospital, her blood sugar was over 20. When asked, she said she ate a steamed bun and a mantou... Then yesterday, during rounds, her blood sugar was over 20 again. When asked what happened, she pouted and said she drank some porridge. Who gets over 20 from drinking just a little porridge? Then she said she drank three big bowls... I don't know what this old lady will do today..."

Yin Xiaoxiao was speechless.

When the old lady mentioned yesterday that she had drunk some porridge, her colleagues in the emergency department and neurology department all looked puzzled.

Do you think we're stupid?!
Drinking some porridge can raise your blood sugar to over 20.

Upon further questioning, the old lady admitted that she had drunk three large bowls of porridge.

The head of the department was about to flip the table in anger.

Finally, after suppressing her temper, she emphasized again, "No, you don't want to eat that much starch!"

The doctor's blood pressure is a bit high today.

But I'm not coming.

They went to the emergency department to record it.

Yin Xiaoxiao was curious about how much blood sugar the old lady had today.

"Dr. Ogawa, you'll see all sorts of patients during ward rounds in the emergency room. That's all we do, so you'll get used to it after a while."

Fang Yuan then spoke to Zhang Lingchuan.

He's speaking from the bottom of his heart now.

Because some people always ignore what doctors say.

They even felt it was nothing.

"We're used to it now. Let's go see that old Mrs. Zhou first."

As they spoke, the group walked toward the bed of the elderly Mrs. Zhou who had suffered a stroke.

"Doctor, you've arrived! I'm not feeling well today..."

Grandma Zhou was lying in bed.

"Grandma Zhou, don't worry. Let us check your blood sugar. You shouldn't have eaten anything unusual today. You've been controlling your starch intake, right?"

Fang Yuan then patiently began to ask questions.

"Hmm, I didn't eat enough today."

Grandma Zhou nodded.

"I definitely didn't eat enough; my blood sugar is no longer in the 20s today..."

At that moment, Zhang Lingchuan and Yin Xiaoxiao's expressions twitched slightly.

"Right! But why do I feel tired today, a little nauseous, have a dry mouth, and even a headache? My heart is also beating fast..."

"This is what Grandma Zhou said, clutching her chest."

The other party's family members were also watching with wide, curious eyes.

"Grandma Zhou...it's because you have ketoacidosis..."

Zhang Lingchuan said helplessly.

It seems that it was a wise move for the head of the department not to come.

This patient is infuriating.

"Ketoacidosis? Grandma Zhou! What did you eat this morning?!"

It's been four days since they arrived.

Fang Yuan has been in charge of things since the first day he joined.

He was truly powerless to roar at this elderly woman who had suffered a stroke.

"I didn't eat much... I was hungry and couldn't resist, so I ate four steamed buns and a meat bun... How did I get food poisoning?"

The old lady Zhou slapped her thigh with a pitiful look and said.

"Yesterday you had three big bowls of porridge, and today you have four steamed buns and a meat bun! Grandma Zhou, oh my goodness, what are you trying to do..."

Yin Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead.

I originally thought that a blood sugar level of 20+ was the limit.

Who would have thought that ketoacidosis was the old lady's normal condition?

It's really outrageous.

"Ugh……"

After a long pause, Fang Yuan sighed.

He was inexplicably a little envious of the deputy director in the department who didn't come.

It is indeed high blood pressure.

"Doctor... my mom has a big appetite, how could she suddenly get poisoned!"

The other party's daughter had a very wise look in her eyes.

They don't look like people in their thirties or forties.

At this moment, Yin Xiaoxiao explained the principle to the other party and then summoned her inner energy as well.

"Absolutely amazing."

Yin Xiaoxiao shrugged as she walked.

"There are always some patients who won't listen to advice. What can you do? They're just like my cousin, right, Dr. Ogawa?"

Fang Yuan's expression was also helpless.

At the same time, they looked in Zhang Lingchuan's direction.

"They're really evenly matched."

As for Zhang Lingchuan, it's impossible for you not to be speechless.

It's like you patiently tell her what to do, but she just lets it go in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring it.

"I heard that my aunt has woken up now, and they are planning to send you a banner of appreciation, Dr. Xiaochuan."

Fang Yuan looked at Zhang Lingchuan with a half-joking expression.

"It has to be Dr. Ogawa. He received so many banners during his internship. I haven't received a single one yet. I'm so envious!"

Yin Xiaoxiao was happy but also filled with envy.

As a medical worker, receiving a banner from a patient is, in her view, a great affirmation of her work.

"How about we let you stand in the center this time, Xiaoxiao?"

Zhang Lingchuan asked with a slight smile.

"If I could be as skilled in CPR as you, Dr. Ogawa, I'd definitely be number one!"

Yin Xiaoxiao clenched her little fist.

Chatting and chatting.

They soon arrived at ward 1102 in section C.

But then they discovered that the patient in this ward had vanished!

"What's going on? Have you seen Li Youcai? Did he go to the bathroom?"

Fang Yuan was completely bewildered.

That can't be right. They said they would check on patients between 8:30 and 9:00, but they're nowhere to be seen.

"Maybe so. After all, we agreed yesterday that we would get the discharge certificate after the ward rounds this morning. He was very eager to be discharged yesterday and definitely wouldn't delay this time."

Yin Xiaoxiao nodded.

This is a patient in the cardiac surgery emergency department.

I came in with mitral stenosis, and after the valve replacement surgery, everything recovered well. I had a check-up yesterday, and everything was normal. I told them yesterday that I would be discharged today.

This patient had a history of bleeding from a gastric ulcer and had abstained from alcohol for nearly a month due to surgery.

Yesterday, as soon as he heard that he could be discharged from the hospital, his eyes lit up and he asked Zhang Lingchuan and the others, "Can I drink alcohol now?"

Then the three of them, along with their colleagues in the cardiac surgery department, spent a long time trying to persuade them.

For example, you definitely can't drink alcohol.

Even before leaving get off work yesterday, Fang Yuan went to see him again, almost earnestly advising him to go home and rest more before being discharged early tomorrow morning. He said not to rush things, since he had bled before and had major surgery, so he should be careful.

The patient responded with "uh-huh, okay, okay, I'll definitely follow the doctor's instructions," and so on.

I checked this morning and found out.

shocked.

Where are they?!
"I don't know. He seemed to have received a phone call around midnight last night and ran out. He didn't come back all night."

A fellow patient next to me said something.

"Huh? He hasn't been back all night!!"

The three-person ward round team was shocked!!

"Beep beep-"

at the same time.

At the entrance of the emergency medicine department, a speeding ambulance screeched to a halt.
