Xi'an netizen @Sunflower 00000 sent a request for help online, saying that her father had a sudden attack on angina at noon on January 2.
He then asked the hospital for help, but was rejected by the hospital because he was from a medium-risk area. In the hours that followed, she traveled back and forth to various hospitals, but invariably refused to be treated.
Finally, 8 hours after his father had an angina attack, he was admitted to Xi'an High-tech International Medical Center for surgery.
At this time, all rescue was in vain, and his father died in the early morning of the next day.
On January 6, with the efforts of many days and the support of many netizens, this matter rushed to the hot search. Subsequently, a number of authoritative media such as Beijing Youth Daily and Phoenix Network confirmed the authenticity of this matter.
It is true that as the place with the densest population and the largest floating population, it is indeed necessary for strict prevention and control of hospitals. After all, there have been many incidents of nosocomial infections before, and the lessons are vivid.
But any epidemic prevention and control is to save people, and life is in the first place.
Whether it was the 8-month-old pregnant woman who miscarried, the family of 6 diagnosed, or the father who died innocently of angina, they should not have endured all this. When looking at a patient's life on the line, the hospital must put the patient's life first. There are no conditions to create conditions, such as the precedent of many confirmed patients undergoing surgery in isolation operating rooms.
Instead of watching the sick suffer alive for fear of infection and spread. There is no point in blaming any hospital or doctor here, they are always at the forefront in the face of the epidemic, they are the hardest. And the deep problem, I will not talk about it here...
"Life is really a creation of people, I rarely call my father my father in my life." It is generally said directly, have you eaten? Why? Buy you some tea and buy you a dress.
That night, I shouted out loud to my father over and over again. ”
"But no if, on the winter night of January 3, a month after my dad's 61st birthday, I lost my dad forever."
Words cry blood!
Whenever I saw these words, as a bystander, I felt a grief that was difficult to hide from the deepest part of my heart, let alone as the daughter of the person concerned.
Speaking of this, I also woke up and did so much science popularization, I seem to rarely talk about angina.
These diseases are easily confused with angina
Not all chest pain is angina, but because of the lack of understanding of the disease, this also leads to the first reaction of many people after chest pain is angina.
Aortic dissection
The disease is equally dangerous, but the prognosis is poor. At the onset of the disease, it often presents with sudden and rapid tear-like pain in the chest, accompanied by pallor and sweating. It is important to note that people with a history of hypertension are more likely to develop this disease.
Pulmonary hypertension
Such patients generally have chronic pulmonary heart disease and pulmonary artery embolism, etc., and nitroglycerin can be used to improve ischemia and pain if the disease occurs.
Biliary colic
The disease is usually manifested by persistent pain in the right upper quadrant, as well as paroxysmal exacerbations and vomiting. Because biliary colic can also be relieved with nitroglycerin, patients can easily be misdiagnosed as angina if not carefully examined.
Esophageal-induced disease
Because it is adjacent to the heart, the stomach discomfort and pain caused by such diseases are very similar to angina.
Therefore, to discern whether it is angina, we must pay attention to some of the typical symptoms.
pain
Patients experience pain in the chest at the onset of the disease, and the pain is very large, accompanied by a feeling of contraction and pressure, like a pinprick. And this pain is persistent, not a jumping pain at all.
location
The location of pain may be different for each patient, some may be chest, some may be on the side of the small thumb of the left shoulder and left upper limb, or it may be the pharynx and upper abdomen.
But the same patient's pain position is fixed, and it doesn't hurt here and there.
Time
The duration of angina is fixed, usually 3-5 minutes. If it lasts for a long time, or even a whole day, it is not angina, it is likely to be a heart attack.
In addition, patients with angina pectoris may also have pallor, cold hands and feet, and a decrease in blood pressure at the onset of the disease.
How to use the "miracle medicine" quick-acting heart-saving pills and nitroglycerin?
Quick-acting heart-saving pills and nitroglycerin as first aid drugs for angina pectoris are common medicines in many people's homes, but do you know how to use them?
Quick-acting heart-saving pills:
This medication must be used when there are aura symptoms such as chest tightness and left shoulder aches, rather than waiting until typical pain symptoms have occurred, to maximize the effect.
It should be noted that this drug can only be used as an emergency drug and cannot treat the disease fundamentally.
nitroglycerin:
This is a common medicine for all coronary heart patients, and it can indeed save lives at critical moments. However, it should be noted that nitroglycerin can only relieve angina, and other heart diseases are not suitable for this drug.
When taking nitroglycerin, it is best to take it while sitting, which is better than standing or lying down. It should be noted that if there is no relief after taking it 3 times, stop taking the medicine quickly and call the 120 emergency number.
In this epidemic in Xi'an, we have indeed seen many deficiencies and drawbacks, but the good news today is that the overall epidemic situation has been controlled and alleviated, and we still have to thank those hard-working anti-epidemic workers.
Finally, may the mother who lost her child, the daughter who lost her father, mourn!
