In Beijing, for more than a month, with the elderly to run 3 top three hospitals, 15 times to see a doctor, 2 times to operate, for an ordinary office worker, what kind of experience is this?
God knows, what have I been through over the past month? To use one word to describe it: exhausted.
The first hospital I went to was Beijing Tongren Hospital. I heard that there is the best ophthalmology in the country, and the eyes are naturally preferred here.
Before the Spring Festival, the online registration just hung up to the number of a deputy chief physician, and the subsequent medical treatment and surgery were all the same doctor.
When I arrived at the hospital, I measured my vision after triage, and the cataract of the elderly was already very serious, and the vision of the left eye was only 0.09, and the vision of the right eye was slightly better.
The doctor looked at the eye with the instrument and said that the left eye was already in the late cataract stage, and if he did not do it, he would be in danger of blindness.
Although the right eye has slightly better vision than the left eye, it also needs to be done. But you can only do one eye surgery at a time, of course, you have to do the most serious one first.
Unfortunately, it just so happens that the old man's social security rushed to pay the fee in those days, paid the fee on the same day, and the tax could not arrive within a week.
So the doctor suggested that we return the number, postpone going to the hospital for a week, and then make an appointment for her number.
A week later, when I went to the hospital, the doctor prescribed a bunch of preoperative examinations, and several of the same-day examinations were done on the same day. Blood and urine are drawn on an empty stomach and can only be done the next morning on an empty stomach.
After all these were done, I went to get the report sheet, and what I didn't expect was that the doctor told us according to the test report that the patient had diabetes and the blood sugar was not qualified and could not be operated on.
The news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
I didn't expect the old man to get this disease, neither the genetic genes of this disease, nor do they love to eat sweets, and they can't accept such a reality for a while.
Originally wanted to make an appointment for cataract surgery early, do it early and go back to my hometown, how can I not think, in the middle of another annoying diabetes.
I have heard about the experience of people around me before, and I learned that it is an incurable disease, and I can only rely on taking medicine or insulin, and there will be many complications in serious cases.
Sincerely afraid, but there is no way, only to listen to the doctor.
Fortunately, the doctor said that you can also make an appointment for surgery first, and adjust your blood sugar in the middle of the time. The doctor pointed to the fasting blood glucose report sheet and said that the blood glucose value could only be done if the blood glucose value was below 9.
Due to the Spring Festival holiday, the doctor is on vacation and can only make an appointment for surgery after three weeks.
In any case, the time of the cataract surgery was determined. The most urgent thing is to hurry up and see diabetes and adjust the blood sugar first.
On the same day, I made an appointment with the Endocrinology Department of Sino-Japanese Hospital in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, I rushed to the Sino-Japanese Hospital, and the doctor prescribed a bunch of examination lists. Because of the need to draw blood on an empty stomach, I had to go to the hospital the next morning to collect blood and leave urine. Some reports cannot be issued on the same day, and can only be revisited in a few days.
This was delayed until the last week before the festival, and then went to the Sino-Japanese Hospital, where the doctor informed that the situation required hospitalization.
As soon as I heard about the hospitalization, it frightened us, and I begged the doctor to think of other ways to take medicine and adjust it, but there was an appointment for surgery at Tongren Hospital.
Later, the doctor prescribed medicine, made an appointment for an empty stomach blood glucose check on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, and told me to come back in a week.
At the doctor's suggestion, I bought a blood glucose meter to monitor at home.
After a week, I went to the hospital, which was the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, the first day of work in the hospital. The young female doctor didn't look up at us the whole time, as if we owed her a hundred million.
Although we told him that his fasting blood sugar was normal, she saw that we did not come up with the results of the pre-meal and postprandial blood glucose monitoring four times a day, and said impatiently, going back to monitoring for another week.
Looking at the doctor's unpleasant face, I dared to ask more, the blood glucose after the meal was measured twice or high, how to do this? She said that the medicine before the meal should be added to one more tablet.
It was hard to give a key piece of information, and I had to go back and do it. Fortunately, there are still more than two weeks before the time of surgery, and it is too late.
A week later, I came to The Sino-Japanese Hospital again, and I felt more confident, because my monitoring at home was basically normal and stable.
Moreover, because of the illness, the old man also made up his mind and recently quit smoking for decades. This also has great benefits for the control of diabetes.
The last time I got the doctor's affirmation, advice and related answers very smoothly.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of cataract surgery, I took the fasting blood glucose test report in my hand and deliberately went to Tongren Hospital again to confirm whether it was possible to operate.
At this point, the experience of medical treatment in the wilderness of soldiers and horses has finally come to an end for the time being.
We arrived at the hospital at less than seven o'clock with the nucleic acid report sheet made the day before the operation, but the hospital had not yet opened, and the queue outside the door was already lined up. Take advantage of this queue time, complete the scan code streaming, and take a screenshot, leaving it for the hospital for backup.
Entering the hospital, I lined up separately with the elderly, first registered, then went through the hospitalization procedures, then registered again for surgery, and then waited for the call, and the nurse led me to the sixth floor to do preoperative preparations.
Because the number is already arranged, there is no need to worry, just wait for the arrangement to call the number.
The patient measures blood pressure, measures the body temperature, measures the body temperature of the family, shows the nucleic acid test, the itinerary card and other information, and the patient enters the examination room to measure vision and eye drops.
After a series of procedures, the nurse led a wave of patients to the operating room, and the family stayed in the family waiting area on this floor.
In about an hour, the nurse brought the patient back. Stay for 5 to 10 minutes, you can go home without any problems, wait for the next day to change the medicine, go through the discharge settlement procedures, and review again a week later.
The whole process of cataract surgery is basically like this. If there is nothing wrong with the patient's body, everything will go smoothly.
The biggest advantage of Tongren Hospital in addition to the first-class skills is that it can perform cataract day surgery, and you can leave on the same day of surgery, and I heard that the cost of surgery is also lower than that of many hospitals.
The review after a week of surgery is actually very simple, measure the vision and intraocular pressure, and then observe the recovery of the eyes through the instrument, the basic problems are not big. Just stick to the postoperative eye drops.
The recovery of vision varies.
Some of the eyes have myopia before, some have problems with the fundus of the eyes before, and some have maculas in the eyes, etc., so that the recovery of such a situation will be a little worse, but the overall vision effect will be better than before the operation, and it will slowly recover with time.
My old man's vision has returned to 1.0, which is basically the best effect in that wave of surgery.
The vision ranges from 0.09 to 1.0, which makes us not expect that the old man is even more amazed.
The world suddenly became clear and bright, and the haze of diabetes before slowly dissipated a lot.
In this case, we also made an appointment for surgery on the other eye, which was just done today.
Until today, my heart, which has always been tense, has only relaxed a little.
The process of seeing a doctor is the most testing time for people's hearts, during which there are many complex bad emotions. With the smooth progress of medical treatment, the mood is slowly improving.
I believe that all the haze will eventually pass!
I hope that in the days to come, my family will be safe and healthy!
