   Chapter 519 Dutiful Son

   The loud voice of the patient's family alarmed others in the CCU ward.

   The nurse immediately notified Dr. Zhou Bin.

  Lu Chen was still trying to explain to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm talking to you based on the actual situation of the patient." Lu Chen said, "Severe heart failure is a disease with a very high mortality rate. Even if the symptoms can be alleviated this time, the quality of life in the future will definitely be It won't be too high."

  The main symptoms of heart failure are chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

  Once the activity increases and the cardiorespiratory tolerance is insufficient, the patient may walk two steps, change clothes, and feel chest tightness.

   Basically lost the ability to take care of yourself!

   "I won't listen to you, let you lead!"

   The middle-aged man didn't want to continue talking to him when he saw that Lu Chen was young. . .

   Just then, Zhou Bin rushed over.

   "Hello, I'm the patient's attending doctor. You can tell me anything."

   Zhou Bin gave Lu Chen a wink, Lu Chen nodded slightly and backed away.

   "The attending doctor?" The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Bin's badge, "I said it all, I want to find your director, how can you decide?"

   The middle-aged man's arrogance was very arrogant. He stared at Zhou Bin closely and did not give in at all!

   Zhou Bin looked calm and said with a serious face: "In terms of your father's diagnosis and treatment, it is my fault, and I can be responsible. And take a step back, our director is not in the department now, so if you want to see him, I am afraid it will not be easy."

   The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Well, I'll tell you first."

   Next, the middle-aged man told Zhou Bin what he had said to Lu Chen before.

   When Lu Chen saw this, he silently retreated.

  …

   Back to the doctor's office.

   Fatty Cheng immediately greeted him.

   "Lu Chen, what's the matter? I heard it was so noisy in the communication room just now."

   "It's the family member of the patient in the morning." Lu Chen shook his head slightly, "As soon as he said he wanted us to do our best to treat him, he would complain to us if something went wrong."

   aside, Gu Xinyue frowned and said, "No, it's definitely not a matter of a day or two for a patient with such severe heart failure."

  The course of heart failure is long.

   Especially this severe heart failure is likely to develop slowly from the usual mild heart failure.

   definitely didn’t develop to such a serious level in a day or two.

   "Yes, I think so too." Fatty Cheng also nodded and said, "The doctor in the past must have talked to the family about the condition, and he should know the patient's condition."

   "Then why is he still holding such an unrealistic idea?" Gu Xinyuexin frowned.

   Everyone thinks that this family member is very strange and has very unrealistic hopes for the patient's condition, which is indeed a bit unreasonable!

   Not to mention how critically ill the patient is, just at his age, it is already a risk factor!

   Suddenly, Lu Chen smiled.

   "Because this patient's family is also sick!"

"What?"

   Fatty Cheng and Gu Xinyue were stunned for a while, then looked at Lu Chen suspiciously.

   "He...what's wrong?"

  Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly, "Tianbian Filial Piety Syndrome."

   "What kind of syndrome is this?" Fatty Cheng was stunned, "I've heard that there is no dutiful son in front of the bed for a long time. What is the meaning of this dutiful son?"

Lu Chen said sternly: "There is no filial son before the bed for a long time. This kind of human tragedy often makes people feel sad. But the parents are seriously ill, and the children who have been away from home for many years come to the hospital bed to take care of them, it must be a warm heart and harmony. picture?"

   As soon as these words came out, Fatty Cheng and Gu Xinyue looked at each other and both remained silent.

   They recalled the images of what Lu Chen said in their minds.

   Just listen to Lu Chen continue: "The real situation, on the contrary, these children who have returned from afar may be another kind of patient, they suffer from Tianbian Filial Piety Syndrome."

   "Lu Chen, after hearing what you said, I remembered it." Gu Xinyue nodded slightly, "This is not an officially recorded disease, it's just a joke spread among medical staff."

   "Old Gu is right."

   Next, Lu Chen briefly explained the source of the disease.

   California, USA, thirty years ago.

   A seriously ill patient with Alzheimer's was admitted to the hospital. Her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for five years, came to the hospital from afar to take care of her immediately after learning the news.

   After five years, mother and daughter finally reunited after a long absence. When she saw that her formerly healthy mother was so sick that she didn't even recognize her, her daughter suddenly realized that she had missed too much.

   So remorseful, she took a series of remedial measures: in the course of treatment, although other family members had decided to adopt the treatment method that made the patient comfortable.

   She demanded that she do everything possible to maintain the patient's life, revoke the consent form signed by other family members for refusing CPR, and threatened the doctor, demanding that the patient be transferred to the ICU immediately, or sue the hospital.

  …

  In the beginning, this disease was called "California Daughter Syndrome". Later, in order to avoid regional discrimination, doctors in Taiwan Province changed it to "Tianbian Filial Piety Syndrome".

   "Don't say it, I have actually met such a patient's family member in clinical practice!" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Fatty Cheng nodded, "So, this patient's family member is this kind of dutiful son?"

   "I guess 80% yes." Lu Chen said. "Tianbian dutiful sons often show up in the fields of intensive care, palliative care or geriatrics."

   "The common symptom of this disease is that the patient is not with the patient all the year round, and suddenly appears when the patient is receiving treatment (especially severe treatment)."

   "Desperately showing concern for the patient."

   "Critical about the treatment of the medical team, requiring aggressive and inappropriate treatment of the patient."

   "Blame the relatives who take care of the patient on weekdays and complain about their poor care."

   "Hey, this kind of family is too scary!" Fatty Cheng shook his head slightly, "I can't take care of it normally, so I put the blame on the medical staff or relatives."

As soon as Fatty Cheng finished speaking, everyone heard the direction of the doctor-patient communication room, and there was another burst of roars.

   After listening carefully, it was the voice of that "middle-aged man".

  Lu Chen, Gu Xinyue, and Fatty Cheng quickly stood up and ran towards the doctor-patient communication room.

  …

   Doctor-patient communication room.

   Zhou Bin's eyes were red, his mouth was panting heavily, and his chest kept heaving up and down.

  Lu Chen came to the communication room and heard the explanation from the nurse in the communication room. Only then did he realize that the middle-aged man had just scolded Zhou Bin and his words were extremely ugly.

   "Lao Gu, Fatty, you two are watching here. I'll go and call the hospital police department and 110." Lu Chen's face sank, "Someone is making trouble in the CCU ward."

   When the middle-aged man heard this, he felt a little cowardly, and immediately waved his hand hesitantly: "I didn't make trouble, I just said a few words."

   "There is surveillance here." Lu Chen said in a deep voice, "Whether you beat or curse, you can't escape!"
