I Can See Health

   Chapter 500 Immortal Life

  Lu Chen and the nurse safely pushed the bed into the operating room, and their task was successfully completed.

   It's just that Lu Chen's night shift journey officially started when he returned to the CCU ward.

  …

   "Junior brother, the patient is here, and it's your turn to accept again."

   As soon as he returned to the CCU ward, Liu Han said to Lu Chen.

  Lu Chen was also about to take a break. Hearing this, he had no choice but to take a stethoscope and prepare to go to the doctor.

   "Junior Brother, do you want me to help you?" Liu Han smiled, "You just pushed the patient to the operating room, are you tired?"

   "No, thank you, Senior Sister." Lu Chen refused with a smile, "You have all accepted the patient, so don't bother you anymore."

   "Well, if you want to help, just call me."

"it is good."

  Lu Chen came to the gate of CCU.

   An old man in his seventies was lying on the bed. He was thin, with deep wrinkles crawling on his forehead, and his feet were slightly bent on the bed.

   The slightly painful look on his face shows that the old man's current state is not very good.

   "The patient had chest pain for a month, which worsened for a day." Huang Hanlin had already asked about his medical history, "Since there was a history of acute myocardial infarction and two stents were placed, this time, angina pectoris was considered, and the possibility of another myocardial infarction was not ruled out."

  Lu Chen checked the patient's body while recording the patient's past medical history information.

   The patient suffered from acute myocardial infarction three years ago. Due to the timely delivery to the hospital, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital soon.

   However, Lu Chen noticed a very strange point. After the patient was placed on a stent for myocardial infarction three years ago, he stopped all medicines one month after he was discharged from the hospital.

  Patients with coronary heart disease, especially patients with myocardial infarction who have been placed with stents, need to take antiplatelet, lipid-lowering, and ventricular remodeling drugs for life.

   includes aspirin, clopidogrel, or ticagrelor, etc.

   However, Lu Chen opened the medicine bag that the patient's family was holding. In addition to the three or seven tablets, there were Danshen tablets.

   "Hey, it's really a big trouble to stop the medicine without permission." Huang Hanlin shook his head slightly.

"Doctor, I can't control my dad at home at all." The patient's family is the daughter of the old man, and she looked helpless, "The doctor in the hospital explained many times before that the drug must not be stopped. After discharge, the drug must be taken for life. He told him countless times that he should take medicine, and he took it for a month, then stopped, no matter what, he just didn't take it!"

   At this time, the old man was lying on the bed, still looking like he didn't care.

   Stopping the drug without authorization is extremely unfavorable for the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction stents. On the other hand, it also shows that such patients have poor compliance and are extremely difficult to manage.

  In the hospital, it is not scary to be in a critical condition, but the most scary thing is poor compliance. It is difficult for such patients to communicate and treat.

   "Let's go ahead first, and we'll talk about it after the examination." Huang Hanlin could only admit the patient to the hospital first. "The family members are waiting outside. If there is any problem, I will communicate with you in time."

  …

  Lu Chen pushed the hospital bed into the CCU.

   Just now Huang Hanlin simply asked about his medical history, but now Lu Chen needs to ask more carefully.

   "Master, is your chest pain the same as the last time you had a myocardial infarction?" Lu Chen said, "For example, the severity of the chest pain, and the duration of the chest pain, is there any difference?"

   Asking about the degree and nature of chest pain is mainly to preliminarily determine whether the patient has the possibility of another myocardial infarction.

   If the symptoms of chest pain are similar or worse, there is a high chance of another myocardial infarction.

  If the chest pain is less severe than before, it may just be an angina attack, and it has not reached the level of myocardial infarction.

"This, it's different!" The old man thought about it and shook his head slightly, "The myocardial infarction three years ago was a heart-wrenching pain, I felt like I was about to die, but this time it's okay, I am I feel a little pain. If it wasn't for my daughter who insisted that I come to the hospital, I would not have come."

  Three years ago, the then 67-year-old grandpa was hospitalized for sudden acute inferior myocardial infarction.

   At that time, he was sent to Jinghua Second Hospital for treatment. Emergency coronary angiography found that the middle and distal segments of the right coronary artery were blocked. After balloon expansion, two drug stents were placed, while the rest of the arteries in the heart still had 30-50% stenosis.

   "Master, you should have taken aspirin before, right?" Lu Chen wondered.

   "I have eaten." The old man sat up, and it seemed that after a short rest and medication, his chest pain had been relieved for the most part.

   "Then why don't you eat it now?"

   "That medicine, I won't take it for a month." The old man said nonchalantly, "What aspirin, it's all Western medicine, and Western medicine can't be taken for a long time!"

   "The side effects are very serious. There is an old lady in the yard of our community who also has a heart attack. After taking these medicines for a long time, they all end up with massive stomach bleeding!"

   "Doctor, you said you can still take Western medicine?"

   Lu Chen was quite helpless when he heard this.

   Antiplatelet drugs do have side effects, the most common of which is bleeding, such as stomach bleeding and gum bleeding.

   However, the pros far outweigh the cons!

   Not taking medicine because of side effects is tantamount to giving up food because of the throat.

  Looking at the health value of 62(-) on the old man's head, Lu Chen wanted to continue his advice, but he didn't listen at all, and didn't even give Lu Chen a chance to speak, he just said it himself.

"Doctor, let me tell you, some old friends around me are sitting and chatting, and they all feel that it is best not to take western medicine for coronary heart disease, because the side effects are too great, and the medicine is easy to accumulate toxicity. I have a comrade in arms who recommended a lot of energy The secret to curing coronary heart disease. I'm taking these medicines now!"

  Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.

  My dear, such stubborn little old men still get together!

   Maybe it's because of the hard-to-find bosom friend, the old man who didn't want to take medicine, thought they were too right.

   From then on, he simply took Panax notoginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza, etc., still a pack of cigarettes a day, and lived a comfortable life without taking drugs...

   Maybe this is what the old man thought, the life of a fairy?

  Lu Chen sighed in his heart, what can we do?

   The family members can't persuade him, how can he, a little doctor, persuade him?

  …

   Back to the doctor's office.

  Liu Han saw Lu Chen's helpless expression and asked, "Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

  Lu Chen briefly explained the matter of the old man.

"Hey, there are too many patients like this." Liu Han said, "When I was young, I was stubborn, but when I get old, I think I can do it. In fact, I should say something, this is still not serious enough. The last time I had a heart attack, I didn't let it He's afraid. If he realizes the seriousness of his condition, he'll probably be finished."

  Lu Chen doesn't think so.

  The old man said it himself, the last time I had a heart attack, I had a sense of near-death.

Lu Chen didn't know what   's sense of near-death was like, but it was definitely a feeling of despair.

   In this way, the old man cannot be allowed to take medicine, let alone other situations.
