Yang Lin looked at the haggard face of his brother Yang Bo on the hospital bed, and his heart was full of remorse and self-blame.
Just two days ago, they were eating hot pot together, talking and laughing.
Who would have thought that just one dinner would make Yang Bo, who was only 45 years old, pass away forever.
The doctor's words still echoed in his ears: "The patient's condition progressed very rapidly, from onset to death in less than 2 hours, and belonged to the ultra-severe type of acute severe pancreatitis.
The direct cause of this pancreatitis is a high-fat diet, and the high triglyceride level in the patient's body leads to pancreatic juice rich in fat degradation products, which has a serious toxic effect on pancreatic cells.
At the same time, you mentioned that the patient has a history of long-term heavy alcohol consumption, which may have caused chronic damage to the pancreas, planting the seeds of the lesion. "
Looking at the crowd coming and going outside the ward, Yang Lin's thoughts gradually drifted away.
He remembered the bits and pieces of his childhood with his brother, and remembered that his father had asked him to take good care of his family when he died young.
Now, not only did he fail to protect his brother, but he watched his brother die due to those bad habits, and he felt guilty in his heart.
Yang Lin secretly vowed that he must learn the painful lesson of this time, live well, and do his best to help more people stay away from the threat of pancreatitis.
He decided to re-examine life through the lens of medicine and pass on this awareness to his students and everyone around him.
After returning to school, Yang Lin immediately set about preparing a lively health education lesson.
In class, he told the students about his brother's misfortune, and combined with medical knowledge, he explained the causes, clinical manifestations and preventive measures of pancreatitis in simple terms.
"The pancreas is one of the important digestive organs of the human body, secreting pancreatic juice to participate in the digestion and absorption of food.
Once the pancreas is inflamed, it can affect the digestive function at least and be life-threatening at worst. Yang Lin said as he listed the common triggers of pancreatitis on the board, "Unreasonable eating habits are the culprit."
Long-term heavy drinking can damage the pancreas and make it in a state of hyperactivity, while overeating and overeating may lead to pancreatic juice stasis and cause acute attacks.
In addition, certain medications, infections, trauma, biliary tract diseases, hyperlipidemia, etc., may be triggers. "
Speaking of this, Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh and look gloomy, "My brother is acute severe pancreatitis caused by a high-fat diet and alcoholism.
His condition progressed extremely rapidly, from abdominal pain and vomiting to cardiac arrest in less than 2 hours.
Doctors say this is because a large amount of toxic substances enter the bloodstream, triggering a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that ultimately leads to multiple organ failure. "
The classroom was silent, and the students were shocked by what the teacher said.
After a long time, a student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Yang, you said that acute pancreatitis is so rapid, so how can we prevent it?
Yang Lin smiled gently and said, "I understand your concern.
Admittedly, acute pancreatitis is menacing and gives us very little time to react. But we're not completely passive.
In daily life, we should avoid overeating, never get tired of eating, and eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods.
Drink in moderation, but never binge. If you have persistent abdominal pain, vomiting and other symptoms, you must be alert to the possibility of pancreatitis and seek medical attention in time. As long as we are vigilant and intervene in time, we can stop the further development of the disease. "
After class, many students gathered around Yang Lin and asked him about healthy eating.
Seeing the children listening carefully, a warm current surged in Yang Lin's heart. He strengthened his determination to promote health knowledge and prevent pancreatic diseases.
He wants to use his personal experience to influence more people and save more families from the pain of losing their loved ones.
