Chapter 2579 【2579】Thieves and Ghosts

On the second night, I was invited to dinner by Teacher Tan for the second time.

It was agreed on the phone that Mr. Tan would pick her up by car after get off work and asked her to wait at the gate of Seoul.

The next day was the first day of work in the Second Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, so I was a little busy.

The process of going to work in the department is basically the same. There is a morning meeting to hand over the shift and then go to the ward for rounds.

During the morning meeting, the older Director Lu asked about yesterday's PICU. Seoul is different from Guoxie. There are not a few female surgeons, but there is no pediatric cardiac surgery. Director Lu was very interested in the female student, Brother Immortal: "What's your name? I only heard your teacher once said that you remembered the pacemaker? Have you ever had a pacemaker installation operation?"

"Never." Xie Wanying answered honestly. I have never been to a cardiology department, and I have very little contact with interventional surgery. I just came to the Department of Cardiac Surgery and just started learning, so I haven't had a chance to learn many new things yet.

"Let your teacher Cao take you." Director Lu said gently to her and Cao Zhao, "This operation is not difficult."

After hearing what the old director said, several students guessed again what the most difficult operation in pediatric cardiac surgery was. This question is difficult to answer, and the common diseases here can be seen immediately in the rounds of the department.

Today's ward rounds were held in the department, and the team of doctors went from the first bed to the last one. Director Lu took the lead and looked like a general.

The characteristic of pediatrics is that some children you see in the ward look quite serious, but the problem is that they cannot be arranged to live in the PICU. The reason is simple, there are many more serious children than this. It shows that the child's condition develops rapidly and easily deteriorates. In some adult departments, you can see patients who simply come to the inpatient department for recuperation and physical examination, but you can't see them in pediatric departments. One of the main characteristics of hospitalized heart patients is hypoxia, which is the same as adults and children. Many patients have to wear nasal catheters to inhale oxygen.

The picture of the pediatrician wearing a stethoscope to see the child is full of childishness, as if he is seeing a little flower or a lively dog ​​or cat.

For example, Director Lu, standing in front of the child and bending over, like the grandfather of KFC, holding the child's little hand while coaxing him to listen to the beating of the child's heart. The child looked at Director Lu, and his two eyeballs were as big as glass balls, full of childlike innocence. The eyes are the windows to the soul, which shows that the child's state of mind is as pure as boiled water. Seeing such a child sick, who would not feel distressed.

This is what a young child looks like to be seen by a doctor, about three years old.

Older children are like Zhu Xing. They can be persuaded by doctors at the beginning, but it is difficult to fool them after a long time. Really, children over the age of three are thieves and ghosts. There is scientific basis for the special division of children under three years of age as infants and toddlers. The developmental characteristics of children during this period are very unusual, which can be said to be very important. When a child is born, the brain development is only 25% of that of an adult, and then it reaches 80% to 90% of that of an adult before the age of three. Now we can understand why children over the age of three are not easy to be fooled when they go to kindergarten.

Since Seoul has relaxed the admission age, you can even see teenagers aged 16 or 17 here preparing for congenital heart surgery. Isn't it said that the sooner congenital heart surgery is done, the better? Usually that's right. It’s just that for some diseases, its early symptoms may not be obvious, and it is not easy for parents and children to realize that they are sick, and they are delayed in not being able to seek medical treatment in time.
