Chapter 276 Wang Ruoxi

Acute cholecystitis is caused by tumors, stones, etc. blocking the gallbladder duct, causing bile retention in the gallbladder, secondary bacterial infection and acute inflammation.

Lu Chen immediately contacted his roommate who was working the night shift in the emergency department, and then sent Wang Zihao to the emergency department.

Arrived at the emergency department.

Lu Chen took Wang Zihao to take an abdominal CT scan, and less than ten minutes later, acute cholecystitis was confirmed.

After the doctor on duty in the emergency department applied analgesics and antispasmodics to Wang Zihao, his pain was relieved a lot.

At this time, their other roommate was Xing Yu, a graduate student in the Department of Nephrology, who was rotating in the emergency department this month.

"Old Wang, you bastard, I asked you to find a regular breakfast, you see, now you know it hurts!"

Xing Yu stood beside the bed in the emergency observation room and scolded with a smile.

When not eating, the gallbladder is filled with bile, and the gallbladder mucosa absorbs water to make the bile thicker. At this time, cholesterol/lecithin bubbles are easily formed, and the viscosity of bile also increases, finally forming bile sludge and gallstones.

"Hey, I've had pain before, but not this painful! Who knew it would hurt so much!" Wang Zihao was lying on the bed, and he shuddered when he thought of the pain before.

"Zihao, I just looked at your abdominal CT. The gallbladder is full of high-density shadows, and there are a lot of stones. You may need surgery as soon as possible." Lu Chen said.

Wang Zihao nodded.

Acute cholecystitis is a common and frequently occurring disease, 2 to 3 times more common in women than in men, especially in middle-aged and obese people. After treatment, symptoms improve after more than 12 to 24 hours, and symptoms subside in 3 to 7 days, with a total mortality rate of 3% to 5%.

As a surgical graduate student, Wang Zihao also knows that the best way to treat gallstone-type cholecystitis is to cut the gallbladder directly!

"I'll go to the general surgery department for hospitalization later." Wang Zihao said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, thank you for tonight! It's almost one or two o'clock, and you're still bothering me to come to the emergency room."

"We're all in the same dormitory, what's there to thank you for? Get well soon." Lu Chen said.

Xing Yu gave a few instructions, told Wang Zihao not to eat or drink for a while, and then left.

Just then, a girl walked into the emergency observation room in a hurry.

She had a melon-seed face, a small nose, light makeup on her face, and a very pretty face and tall figure.

The most eye-catching thing was that her two long legs were exposed to the air, which was particularly dazzling.

As soon as she entered the room, she walked directly towards Wang Zihao.

Seeing this, Lu Chen thought the person was Wang Zihao's girlfriend, and quickly made way.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zihao said, "Sister...you, you're here..."

Lu Chen was stunned. This beautiful girl turned out to be Wang Zihao's sister.

The woman frowned and muttered, "What's wrong? I have a stomachache in the middle of the night?"

"Sister, I have cholecystitis caused by gallstones..." Wang Zihao seemed to be very afraid of his sister and whispered, "This disease often occurs at night."

Acute cholecystitis usually occurs more often at night.

The reason is that when we stand or sit, the bottom of the gallbladder faces down, and the stones will sink to the bottom. When sleeping at night, the patient lies on his back or on his left side, and the bottom of the gallbladder will face up.

Due to gravity, the stones can easily roll to the neck of the gallbladder and get stuck, preventing bile from being discharged and affecting the contraction of the gallbladder, which will cause bursts of pain.

Another reason is that if you eat a high-fat meal at night, the bile duct system itself will be inflamed or stones will cause the bile duct to be blocked, but in order to digest the high-fat food entering the body, the gallbladder needs to increase contraction and excrete more bile, and the bile duct is blocked, resulting in night pain that makes the patient unable to sleep all night.

"You still have the nerve to say that, a doctor, you still ruin yourself like this?!" The woman frowned.

Although the woman was not very polite, Lu Chen could see that her eyes were full of worry.

"Sister, I may have to go to the general surgery department for hospitalization later, and I need family members to accompany me. I may need surgery later, so don't let my parents know for the time being." Wang Zihao said.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." The woman said slowly, and then looked at Lu Chen on the side, "This is..."

Wang Zihao hurriedly said: "Sister, this is my roommate, his name is Lu Chen."

"Lu Chen, this is my sister, my sister Wang Ruoxi."

Lu Chen nodded to Wang Ruoxi, "Hello."

Wang Ruoxi also nodded in response and smiled, "Thank you, classmate Lu, now I'm here, I'll take care of my brother. You go back and rest, thank you."

"Okay, Zihao, I'll go back first." Seeing that Wang Zihao was almost healed, Lu Chen explained some precautions, then said hello to Xing Yu and went back to the dormitory.

After Lu Chen left, Wang Ruoxi stayed with Wang Zihao in the emergency observation room.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I made you have to take a day off from work tomorrow..." Wang Zihao said.

"Hey, you should take good care of yourself. You got yourself cholecystitis." Wang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "You are the best. Find a girlfriend to take good care of you, so that you don't have to be alone and even skip breakfast!"

Wang Zihao scratched his head, "It's not that easy to find a girlfriend? Besides, we don't have much time, and we don't have time to talk even if we find one. Let's talk about it later."

Wang Ruoxi thought about it, that's true, then thought: "But your roommate is good. It's so late at night and he sent you to the emergency room."

Wang Zihao smiled and said, "Of course, Lu Chen and I are good friends. It was him who led our school team to win the championship of the National Skills Competition."

"Oh? It's him?" Wang Ruoxi said in surprise.

She knew her brother's level very well. Among his peers, he was at most above average.

He was able to represent the school team and win the first place in the skills competition?

Their whole family didn't believe the news.

It wasn't until they saw the relevant news on the Internet and saw the trophy Wang Zihao brought back that they believed the news that Wang Zihao won the championship.

It must be said that the other people in the school team are really amazing. They can actually lead their brother.

"Sister, UU reading books wｗｗ.uｕkanshu.net You don't know that Lu Chen recently entered the third round of the provincial electrocardiogram competition!" Wang Zihao said, "This is the top ten in the province!"

This surprised Wang Ruoxi even more.

She was also a clinical medicine student before. Although she failed to become a doctor for various reasons, she is now engaged in a medical-related profession.

She knew very well the importance of a young graduate student entering the third round in such a large competition.

Her brother's roommate was really extraordinary!

...

The protagonist Lu Chen had returned to the dormitory at this time.

It was already past two in the morning.

He had to take advantage of the time to sleep a little longer, as he had to go to work tomorrow morning.
