Alcohol dies in life
"After drinking wine for so many years, my liver is probably already a wine bag, right? Hahaha..."On the hospital bed, Grandpa Wang raised his trembling hands and gestured to a big wine bottle while joking.
His dark face was crawling with the ravines of time, but there was a trace of indifference in his eyes. In his opinion, how can a man look like a man if he doesn't drink? This "theory that drinking alcohol is harmful" is nothing but alarmist. When the test sheet was placed in front of him, Lao Wang's smile froze...
62-year-old Uncle Wang is an authentic Shandong man. Thirty years ago, he started running a tavern in the village. Baijiu has become an indispensable "old friend" in his life.
At first, Uncle Wang was just having fun on the spot, drinking and chatting with three or five friends. But unconsciously, the amount of alcohol is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the point of half a catty of liquor every day. Family and friends advised him to drink less, but he always prevaricated with a sentence of "it's okay". In his opinion, he is in good health, and he has drunk wine for most of his life, isn't he safe and sound?
Until two months ago, Uncle Wang began to feel tired and weak, and lost his appetite. At first, he just thought he was old and in poor health. But gradually, he found a dull pain in his lower abdomen, and he also felt nausea and vomiting from time to time. The family was not at ease, so they dragged him to the hospital.
In this way, Uncle Wang became my patient. Facing the tired old man on the hospital bed, I had mixed feelings in my heart. The results of the examination showed that Uncle Wang had developed early stage of liver cirrhosis and his liver function was severely impaired. If you don't treat it in time, I'm afraid it will ...... I sighed and handed the test sheet to the old man.
"Uncle, your liver is damaged, and alcohol is the culprit." I said earnestly. Uncle Wang's eyes widened and he looked at me in disbelief. "Doctor, I'll just drink a little wine every day, it can't be so serious, right? Besides, how is drinking alcohol harmful? "
Looking at the old man's puzzled gaze, I realized that it was time to give him a lively "health education lesson".
"Uncle, after alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly metabolized in the liver. Long-term heavy alcohol consumption will cause liver cells to be damaged, necrosis, and then fibrosis, sclerosis, and eventually evolve into cirrhosis. "As I spoke, I drew diagrams on paper, trying to make obscure medical knowledge easy to understand.
"In addition, alcohol can aggravate the fat accumulation in the liver and induce fatty liver. Once the liver function declines, the body's detoxification ability is weakened, and various toxins accumulate in the body, harming the whole body. Therefore, the damage of alcohol to the liver is by no means child's play. "
Uncle Wang listened in a daze, his gaze wandering between me and the test sheet. After a long time, he sighed dejectedly: "Doctor, am I... Hopeless? "
"Definitely, uncle! Although the disease is serious, it is by no means incurable. I took the old man's calloused hands and spoke firmly. As long as you stick to treatment, quit alcohol, and regulate your life, your liver still has hope for recovery. "
In the following days, I formulated a detailed treatment plan for Uncle Wang. In addition to medication, I pay more attention to the transformation of lifestyle habits. Under my careful guidance, Uncle Wang began to learn to eat reasonably and exercise moderately. Wine, an "old friend", was also ruthlessly abandoned by him.
Gradually, Uncle Wang's face became ruddy, and his eyes became bright. Liver function indicators are improving day by day, and the signs of liver recovery are becoming more and more obvious. Looking at the changes in the elderly, I feel sincerely gratified. This is not only a victory for medicine, but also a victory for the will to live.
"Doctor, you picked up my life." One day, Uncle Wang said to me gratefully. The corners of his eyes moistened, and his tone was full of joy for the new life. "In the past, I knew how to control myself, where to care about what is not physical. Now that I think about it, it's really confusing. It's okay, it's okay..."
Looking at the old man's kind face, a warm current welled up in my heart. Yes, isn't the meaning of life to constantly awaken and grow?
Uncle Wang's story has given me too many insights. As healers, we should not only heal the sick, but also "heal people". Only by awakening the inner consciousness of patients and lighting up the wisdom of life can the flower of health bloom undefeated.
As the years passed, Uncle Wang's figure gradually faded out of my sight. But every time I think of this lovely old man, that meaningful smile always comes to my mind. It was a reborn soul, thanksgiving for life; It is a long-standing heart and an expectation for the future.
Wine may have brought him a fleeting moment of pleasure. But only by saying goodbye to alcohol and embracing health can the flower of life bloom with the most beautiful brilliance. This is the precious wealth left to us by Uncle Wang.
I hope that everyone can be like Uncle Wang, bravely face the problems of life, use wisdom and determination, change a way of living, and live a different wonderful life. Because we only have one life, one brilliant bloom.
