Children who go to middle school have to do homework every night and surf the Internet to relax, often feeling that the child is not sleeping enough and worrying that she will not grow up. I remember the process of worrying about growing up too fast and developing ahead of schedule when I was a child, and going to the hospital to seek medical treatment five times.
When the child reached the third grade, he suddenly grew rapidly, and he didn't feel much at first, and when he came back to play with a few friends during the summer vacation, he felt almost half a head taller than them. The grandparents, uncles and aunts in the community boasted that this child had grown so tall when they saw it, and he must be a tall man in the future. Every time I hear these words, my heart is happy, because my father is relatively short, so I have always been worried about height, and this time I have grown quite tall.
When I returned to my hometown after the New Year, I heard a lot about the development of children, mainly today's children often eat junk food such as fried chicken, I heard that the child's little cousin has begun to develop in the second grade, and I am faintly worried, is our child growing and developing too fast? Mainly if the development is early, it may not grow in the later stage, and the height is still relatively low.
In this way, after a few months of anxiety, their own children, they didn't feel much when they looked at it every day, but the neighbors in the community saw the children, or said that the children grew up fast, of course, they all meant praise. The family will measure her height and make a mark on the wall after a while, and we carefully summarized the marks we had made before, and found that she had grown a full 12 centimeters in the past year, and she had grown to 147 centimeters when she was less than ten years old, which seemed to be a little fast.
I really didn't worry about it and decided to go to the hospital to see, but the number of the children's hospital is too difficult to hang, the ordinary number of 10 yuan expert number has 20 yuan and 30 yuan, 20 yuan is the deputy director and 30 yuan is the main director, thinking that since you want to see it, then hang an expert number, but after repeatedly looking at it for a long time and two weeks, the main director number is gone, so hang up a deputy director number and think about it first!
I don't know if most of them are appointment numbers, or because the children's hospital is really large, and there are not many people but they have waited for a long time. Finally at four o'clock, the deputy director is an old lady of about fifty or sixty years old, her face looks a little fierce, there is no smile at all, we said that we were worried that the child would grow too fast, she directly began to brush the list, to test blood and do skull MRI.
The list came out and saw that there were more than 2,000 yuan, and I thought to myself that I don't know how to spend so much money, should we simply test it first? So I consulted with the doctor, and the doctor said that the examination was these items. I told the doctor, I heard that there is a bone age measurement, can we measure the bone age first? The doctor said yes, so he gave us a list, we hurriedly ran to measure the bone age, and then got the result time was almost at the end of work, ran back to the consultation room, fortunately, the doctor is still there no patient is very quiet, thinking that then I will consult well!
From the bone age point of view, it is indeed about nine months in advance, but the doctor said that if you want to intervene, you still have to test the bunch she just said, I asked her what level she looks like in this bone age film, does it need intervention, and what may be the cause? The doctor said that I don't know if I have to do other tests to be clear, and it can grow to 155 centimeters even if it is normal. After listening to it, my heart was a little angry, why don't you know why you have to let us do the inspection of more than 2,000 yuan? Besides, growing to 155 centimeters is not comforting to us at all. We checked the bone age film, and there was no effect that could not give us any advice, I said let's go back and think about it again.
On the way home, I was very angry, so I thought that if I didn't see this hospital, we would go to another hospital. After returning home, I looked up a lot of information on the Internet, checked the hospital doctor, and finally saw that there is a doctor in the General Hospital who is very good from the information, this doctor is a doctoral supervisor, who has gone to the United States to study children's medicine is relatively well-known in the whole of Tianjin, right? So we decided to hang up her number, and within two weeks it was gone, and we set an alarm to hang the third week and grabbed it early in the morning.
In the third week, we arrived at the general hospital early in the morning, and although we had tried our best to leave early, by the time we arrived, the small hall outside the corridor was already full of people. I used to think that there might not be many people who look at the development of children, but now I know that there are many people when I get to the hospital. The doctor called several numbers each time to the corridor and waited to enter the consultation room in turn, and the others who were not called were waiting in the small hall outside. I used to think that all girls with developmental problems might be girls, but I didn't expect that boys came to see them a lot. Because the waiting time is particularly long, there are children who chat with others outside and observe the children waiting, and come to a conclusion that I don't know if it is correct, that is, the children who come here to see are generally too fast for girls, and boys are generally slow and short.
Finally it was our turn, and the little doctor in charge of guiding us called us in and hurriedly closed the door, this small consultation room was in stark contrast to the consultation room of the children's hospital, which was empty and bright, and there was only the deputy director in the huge consultation room. The main hospital may be relatively old, this consultation room is not very large, and there are at least four or five people in it, all of whom look young, probably doctoral students brought by the director. One person is responsible for guiding us in, and then one person is responsible for measuring the height and weight, and after the measurement, a small note will be given on which the height and weight of the child is written, as well as the height of the parents. There was a slippery table on the opposite side of the scale, where the director and two students were lined up, one student was responsible for collecting the information brought by the patient, including the examination films, medical record books and the small strips just now, and one student was responsible for entering it on the computer, and then the director himself saw the doctor.
Judging from the information, this director should probably be fifty or sixty, but she looks young and has a hearty voice, and her face is full of enthusiastic smiles. She first asked why we came to see it? We said that it was because we were worried that the child would grow too fast, and she laughed when she heard it and said that it was not good to be tall? We expressed our concern to him and explained that it had grown by more than a dozen centimeters in the past year. So she said let's take a bone age first, and I specifically asked her if she needed to do other tests, and she said no. I told her again, we had a bone age test at the children's hospital before, can it be used? She said of course it could, so we showed the film to the director, and the director said after reading it that she didn't think there was a big problem, and children now generally develop too fast, and nine months earlier is not a big problem. If we're really worried, we can come back and see it again in three months or six months. In this way, our first visit to the General Hospital only cost a registration fee and went home before noon.
After another half a year, we came to the General Hospital again, briefly inquired and opened a list and measured a bone age, the results came out quickly, got the results, we went back to the director to see, and compared with various data half a year ago, found that the bone age was 11 months earlier, and the child's height has also grown six centimeters, has reached 153 centimeters, the director said that the child grows to 155 centimeters is no problem, Nu effort can probably grow to one meter six, this height can also be, bone age development is not particularly fast, this time only two months ahead.
Looking at his father's frown and did not speak, the director smiled again: What are you worried about when your daughter is so tall, you just steal the fun! We are an endocrinology department, and as a result, we are basically worried about developmental problems, but most of them are actually fine. Now children generally have better nutrition, plus some foods that may not be paid attention to eating contain hormones, so they develop too fast. She also gave us advice, eat less junk food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and ensure adequate sleep. The director said that if we really wanted to intervene, we would have to do a full set of tests and then move on to the next step, but her advice was to leave it alone and just observe. Indeed, objectively speaking, because of the low genetic height, the child can grow to one meter six, because at this time she is already taller than her grandmother. And so we left the hospital satisfied.
At this time, the child's little cousin is also developing too fast and is already intervening. Because their family not only has paternal genetic factors, but also their mother is relatively short, so they are more worried. Because they were in the south, they went to a large hospital in Shanghai for examination. Listening to them, the process of choosing an intervention is complicated, first the examination is carried out and the child needs to sleep for a while for a period of time to do a challenge test, and then every 28 days for injections, which takes about 1 to 2 years. This not only costs expensive, but also requires a lot of time and the procedure is relatively cumbersome, and it is frightening to listen to it. Since the doctors have made us relax, let's listen to the doctors. After that, he no longer went to check-ups, but took the child's diet seriously and arranged her routine reasonably.
A few years passed, and she really grew to one meter six. But it doesn't seem to be very long, but at a young age, others always say that there is hope. Whether it will grow again is not clear, but although the height of one meter six is a little bit different than our psychological expectations, what we have to do now is to strengthen her nutrition, it is best to grow taller, if not, one meter six we can also accept.
By going to two different hospitals and meeting two different doctors, I deeply felt the difference in the world. An indiscriminate inspection that costs more than 2,000 yuan is done, and a simple examination is done, asking what is going on, only the cold does not know. And the other one not only tries to make you spend less money, but also enlightens people with words.
In fact, to put it bluntly, doctors should not only look at medical skills, but also medical ethics. If a patient can get a serious reply, have a more positive psychological identity, the treatment effect is much better! On the contrary, if the doctor's attitude is blunt and unwilling to explain anything, it may also cause the patient to have a negative psychology, and suspicion is not conducive to the condition.
