"I will prescribe you some more medicine, and you will go down to pay the fee and get the medicine, so you don't have to run upstairs again. Recently, in the outpatient clinic of the Department of Anesthesia Surgery and Pain Management of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University, the attending physician Zhou Hao was communicating with the deaf-mute elderly Grandpa Li (pseudonym) in text. 81-year-old Grandpa Li is an old patient in the department, and some time ago he felt uncomfortable with several joints in his body, so he went straight to CUHKMC and found a doctor he trusted, hoping to help relieve the pain......
Zhou Hao's attending physician patiently asked
It turned out that Grandpa Li had pain in the shoulder, waist, and knee joints for several months, and recently felt that his shoulder was a little restricted, so he remembered to go to the hospital to have a look. For the treatment of pain, Grandpa Li's first thought was the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management of CUHKMC, because Grandpa Li had treated pain in other parts a few years ago, and the effect was not bad. This time, it was Zhou Hao's attending physician who received him, and Grandpa Li communicated with the doctor through the sign language interpretation software on the tablet. Zhou Hao's attending physician understood the patient's condition and gave him a physical examination. It was suggested that he check the lumbar spine MRI examination, and with the help of outpatient nurses and radiologic technicians, Grandpa Li successfully completed the examination. According to the relevant examinations, Grandpa Li was diagnosed with frozen shoulder, knee arthritis, lumbar disc herniation, and myofasciitis.
"Old man, it's too troublesome to use sign language translation software, let's communicate with text!" So, Zhou Hao's attending physician and Grandpa Li started a "paper conversation". "I saw the film on the computer, and your biggest problem is around the shoulder, so we treat frozen shoulder first, and then knee and low back pain depending on your condition. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Hao's attending physician did myofascial attachment point injection, needle release and other treatments for Grandpa Li's shoulder circumference.
The treatment is over, but their "paper conversation" is not over. "Old man, you can take a bath tomorrow!" Zhou Hao's attending physician patiently explained the precautions one by one. Seeing that the old man was seeking medical treatment alone, thinking that he would not run back and forth, Zhou Hao's attending physician specially instructed: "I will prescribe you some more medicine, you go down to pay the fee and get the medicine, and you don't have to run upstairs again." You go back and use the medicine, if it doesn't hurt, you don't use it. ”
Before leaving the consultation room, Grandpa Li wrote five simple and simple words on the paper, "Thank you, goodbye!" After eliminating the pain, Grandpa Li also showed a long-lost smile.
"The old man smiled at me very happily after writing it, and I was a little moved at once, and I felt that everything I did was worth it. Zhou Hao's attending physician said frankly.
