On Monday morning, Dr. Liu, who had a morning meeting on anesthesia, hurried to the oncology department.
Department of Medical Oncology, a few days ago admitted a patient with advanced tumors. The patient is very young, but bone metastases have occurred. In particular, the metastasis of the cervical spine made her feel pain.
Here, we must explain that different tumors progress differently; tumors that grow in different locations are also different in life-threatening ways. There are many tumors, in fact, will not take the life of patients in a short period of time, most of the patients are mentally unable to bear.
The spirit here is unbearable, on the one hand, it is the fear of death, and on the other hand, there is also the factor of pain and torture. Coupled with the unpleasant taste and gastrointestinal reactions caused by a large number of drugs, people will soon fail.
Therefore, regulating mental state and controlling pain are important components of anti-tumor.
The day before, Dr. Liu had heard that the patient had taken about a dozen painkillers.
Apparently, these pills were not the ones she actually needed. This is likely to be dominated by anxiety factors.
Rushing to the department of oncology, Dr. Liu hoped to help her with his own analgesic techniques. After all, the most specialized pain control departments are anesthesiology and pain departments.
However, after seeing the patient, the patient said that it was no longer painful. Moreover, he firmly rejected the continuous brachial blocking program recommended by Dr. Liu.
According to her, wearing a pump around her neck is inconvenient.
In fact, after Dr. Liu heard her say this, he immediately wanted to refute: It's all come to this time, what else do you want to make life more convenient? Shouldn't the question of how not to be sinned first?
In the end, Dr. Liu did not say so. He felt that the patient's spirit at this time was abnormal, and she was also pitiful. Such a fragile person could not hurt her anymore.
Despite her refusal, Dr. Liu tried to gain her approval by explaining that the analgesic procedure was "so simple."
Dr. Liu explained that he used ultrasound guidance to bury a small tube near the brachial plexus nerve. Through a pain relief pump, the drug is pumped continuously.
Even, in order to relieve her concerns, Dr. Liu also deliberately emphasized that as long as the pump is installed in the pocket, it is completely possible to walk around. (Although Dr Lau knew she could no longer walk on her own.)
Speaking of the end, Dr. Liu said almost excitedly: I have no commission, I don't believe you can go to the Xingfeng Office and ask.
Despite this, she chose to continue taking the oral medication.
With endless regrets, Dr. Liu returned to the anesthesiology department to continue his other work. That day, he kept looking at his phone, hoping that the internal medicine department would call and hope that she would change her mind.
