Chapter 584 Battery Corrosion Injures the Esophagus

The little boy Aziz was crying all the time lying on the hospital bed, his big flickering eyes were filled with tears, and he refused to eat anything, writhing in the nanny's arms.

Even if the young parents next to him show eighteen kinds of martial arts to comfort them, at first glance, they seem like a brat.

The doctors thought so too at first, thinking this must be a spoiled child.

As a result, a sentence from the chief's wife caught the attention of the doctors:

"Aziz, what's the matter with you? What do you want to tell your mother, oh, don't cry, you were very good before, why are you so bad today?"

As a woman, Xu Hongmei was more careful, and when she heard what the chief's wife said, she asked:

"May I ask if the child's temper is also like this?"

"No, no, my prince is usually polite and obedient, maybe he is sick and uncomfortable today?"

A personal nanny next to him quickly stood up to clarify for his little master.

But this clarification made Xu Hongmei's eyes fall on the children, and she said to the colleagues next to her in Hangzhou local dialect:

"This little boy is crying abnormally, let me check first."

The same doctor, everyone obviously saw the problem, so they nodded one by one. After colluding with the chief and his wife, Xu Hongmei started a full-body examination.

Dr. Xu took his temperature first, and it was normal. I checked my throat carefully and found that it was red, there was no herpes, and there was no obvious abnormality in cardiopulmonary auscultation, so I gave a preliminary diagnosis of "acute upper respiratory tract infection".

Everyone is relieved, it's a cold, a small problem.

Dr. Xu said seriously to the young parents:

"It may be that you came to the hospital yesterday for cross-infection. It may be that you can't drink milk caused by fever and throat inflammation. It seems that the problem is not serious at present, it's okay!"

Director He Xinglong next to him was getting more and more wrong the more he listened, a common cold, would a child cry like this? :

"Old Xu, I don't think it's right. This child doesn't seem to have a cold. Could it be that there is something wrong with the coins in his stomach?"

Did it cause intestinal obstruction? Is it stuck at the pylorus? Did it scratch the gastrointestinal mucosa?

When doctors treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases, they often make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

Director Xu was also a little uncertain: "We can't rule out this possibility, why don't we take another picture of the kid?"

The chief and his wife were dissatisfied with the fact that the doctor took X-rays of their child continuously within 24 hours. After all, this thing has a lot of radiation and may affect the boy's future fertility, so try not to take X-rays if possible.

But there is nothing to do under the eaves, and what I think about is still looking for opportunities to go to other countries to see a doctor.

The X-ray results came out quickly, and everyone was taken aback.

There is actually a "coin" in the child's esophagus.

The doctors looked at me and I looked at you, all of them became unconfident. They quickly found out the X-ray film from last night, and found that there was clearly only one coin in the film last night.

Where did the coin in the esophagus come from? This is everyone's question.

Director He was surprised: "Hey, what's going on? Does this unlucky kid eat a coin every day?"

"This parent is really serious. A large group of people control a child and let him eat another coin?"

"Wouldn't there be a custom of eating coins in Baotou country?"

The doctors were all talking about it, but they weren't very nervous. The child ate coins by himself, so it didn't matter to the doctor, did it?

Cao Biao, the director of the Children's Hospital, hurried over as the leader of the medical unit. After knowing the child's current condition, he was stunned and began to complain to his subordinates:

"I said what happened to you guys? You are all old experts. How did you diagnose one coin after two coins? Isn't this a slap in the face of our country, our Huaguo medical circle? How is this related? Family members explain?"

Director Cao didn't understand the situation, so it was normal to complain a few words.

Coincidentally, a female secretary of Chief Abdullah happened to pass by, and this female secretary happened to understand Chinese, so she understood this sentence.

So he immediately covered his mouth in horror, and quickly reported to his master.

Director He was the first doctor last night, and he felt very wronged by the dean's accusation, so he quickly took out the X-ray film from last night and said excitedly:

"Nao Nao Nao, this is the film from last night. Look, is there only one coin on it? Dean Cao, you have to be responsible for what you say. I can't afford such a big diplomatic matter."

Dean Cao pulled through the film and began to study it with a group of experts behind him.

Comparing the two films, these leadership experts are also surprised:

"That's right, I really wronged Lao He. There was really only one coin last night..."

On the other side, the female secretary hurried to the ward and whispered a few words to the chief and his wife.

As expected, this kind of "misdiagnosis" would not be accepted by ordinary parents, not to mention the dignified dog chief.

But at any rate, the quality of this couple is good, they didn't make a scene, but bowed their heads and discussed:

"Your Majesty, I don't think the level of medical treatment here in Hua is good. Before my son has any serious problems, why don't we go back to China first, or go to the United States to have a look."

Chief Abdullah was holding his son, and seeing the crying son in his arms was heartbroken. Although he wanted to run away now, he needed to think about more issues.

If he rushed to other countries to see a doctor because of his son's illness when he first came to visit, it would be a very unfriendly behavior. It is obviously not to give face to the host, how can he leave a good impression on others?

Then even if his trip was in vain, he still offended someone.

So even if he was impatient, he decided to endure it, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Honey, we can't just walk away like this, otherwise it will cause disputes. Even if Hua Guo's doctor has misdiagnosed, I think two coins... I don't think it's a big problem."

When the chief's wife heard it, tears fell down, but she was helpless.

She knew that although her family was very rich, but the country was too small and the geographical location was awkward, surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards, she had no right to speak, so even if she suffered a little grievance, she could only endure it.

Yes, the young chief's wife thought she had been wronged and treated unfairly:

"But my dear, I think the level of doctors in West Lake City is not good. How about asking them to send better doctors to see patients?"

"Yes, let's do that, I'll negotiate right away..."

Relevant departments received the "complaint" and immediately assigned the Shanghai Children's Hospital next door to send the strongest medical team to Haidong as quickly as possible.

This matter made Fan T, who arrived later, and President Li of Haidong Medical University feel extremely aggrieved.

A small coin, the Provincial Children's Hospital still can't handle it?

He even lost the trust of the foreign guests?

They actually need the support from the neighboring provinces and cities?

If you say this, it won't make the people of the whole country laugh out loud?

The huge prestige brought by Chen Qilan and Lijuan in the health system of Haidong Province suddenly disappeared, which made the leaders of the health system intolerable.

After the higher-ups learned about this, they made a call to Leader Xu and severely criticized him.

Leader Xu was furious, and scolded Chief Fan T and President Li bloody.

Then, when Chief Fan T and Principal Li came back, they scolded Director Cao of the Children's Hospital to the point of blood.

Director Cao felt that his lungs were going to explode, and he scolded Dr. Xu, Dr. He, Dr. Wang, and Dr. Liu in the treatment team.

Several doctors were so angry that they jumped their feet. They knew why they were wronged so much that they hadn't "misdiagnosed".

In short, on this day, the Haidong health system felt like the sky was falling.

After the experts in Shanghai rushed to Haidong Provincial Children's Hospital, they immediately retrieved all the medical records and inspection reports and confirmed that it was a foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Yang, the deputy director of the Shanghai Children's Hospital who led the team, had the same idea as everyone else. It's just a coin, just pull it out, and these foreigners made a fuss.

Then, in order to leave an authoritative impression on foreign guests, Shanghai experts also brought a set of imported children's gastroscopy.

When gastroscopy was mentioned, Fan Tchang and Principal Li's eyes lit up, because there is an ancestor figure in the endoscopy field in Haidong Province, who is also the vice president of WEO, Chen Qi.

If Chen Qi is allowed to take out the foreign body with a gastroscope, wouldn't that be able to win the game for the health system of Haidong Province?

"Hey, Lao Yang, wait a minute, we will do gastroscopy ourselves, Chen Qi is a professor at our Haidong Medical University, he is also a director of WGO, the vice president of WEO Endoscopy Society, he can do this with his eyes closed. "

Professor Yang was not happy when he heard it:

"Old Li, don't come here. Our Shanghai experts are taking over now. Besides, it's just a gastroscope to pick up a foreign object. We are also experts in this. Why do you want to give the credit to Haidong Province?"

Seeing the self-satisfied experts from outside the province, Principal Li's nose turned crooked, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him that the provincial children's hospital under him was not good enough, and was immediately looked down upon by experts from outside the province.

In the end, I have to scold Dean Cao severely and dismiss him from his post!

Just when everyone thought the matter would be solved so easily, an accident happened.

The gastroscope poked like this, and then the doctors were horrified to find that what was stuck in the esophagus was not a coin at all, but a button battery, which was similar in size and shape to a coin.

And the situation is no longer optimistic. It is estimated that the quality of the battery in the 1980s is not good enough. It is estimated that the electrolyte inside has leaked out, and the tissue around the esophagus where the battery is located has begun to swell and rot, and stick together.

It is very difficult to take out the battery directly.

This unexpected situation immediately made Abdullah and his wife very nervous. After consulting the doctor accompanying the mission about the danger of the battery, the young couple almost cried.

Even Mr. Fan T and Mr. Li, who were complaining just like Mrs. Xianglin, didn't dare to say anything.

A battery is generally composed of an anode (positive pole), a cathode (negative pole) and its electrolyte, while the human gastrointestinal tract is filled with mucous membranes.

When the button battery is swallowed into the stomach and comes into contact with the mucous membrane of the digestive system, the battery and the mucous membrane form a conductive circuit, and the battery will automatically discharge and ooze highly corrosive liquid, which burns the digestive tract.

Studies have shown that the general battery is swallowed for 2 hours, there will be leakage.

Especially for children, because the esophagus is relatively narrow, it is difficult to take it out after swallowing. If it is not taken out in time, it will rupture and a large amount of chemical substances will leak, and the child will face the problem of esophageal perforation.

Once the esophagus is perforated, it may lead to tracheoesophageal fistula and even fatal hemorrhage.

In addition, once the battery is broken, it will release a certain amount of metal ions.

For example, alkaline batteries and mercury batteries will cover a small amount of mercury on the zinc electrode to prevent the chemical reaction between zinc and the components in the electrolyte, and the mercury content will be very high.

These metal ions will stimulate the human body and enter the liver or brain along with the blood circulation, thereby causing great damage to the brain, nerves, and vision, and seriously endangering hematopoiesis, liver and kidney functions.

Therefore, the condition of the child with golden branches and jade leaves is really critical.

This time, let alone the doctors of Haidong Provincial Children's Hospital, even the Shanghai experts were confused, and they didn't know what to do.

Principal Li reacted very quickly, with the miraculous Chen Qi here, what if he has a solution?

At that time, the Shanghai and Shanghai experts could not figure it out, but the doctors in Haidong Province could figure it out. Then all the bad influences before could be eliminated and the work made up for.

"Mr. Chief, I suggest that a well-known doctor in our country have a look. Maybe he has a way."

Professor Yang was a little strange: "Who is there? There is such a great god in Haidong Province?"

"Chen Qi, Doctor Chen Qi, you all know about it, right?"

As soon as Chen Qi was mentioned, the experts in Shanghai did not refute it. It is really that this young master's record is so brilliant that he can almost be on an equal footing with the legendary Professor Wu Mengchao in Shanghai.

As a result, when the chief's wife heard that her son had swallowed the battery, it might have leaked, and she suddenly became furious.

"Mr. Chief, your son is in danger, why are you still hesitating? If you don't take your son abroad for treatment, I will take him there!"

Chief Abdullah also let out a long sigh, feeling extremely dissatisfied.

Such a serious condition, why wasn't it checked out last night? As a result, the timing was delayed, leading to a suspected leak of the battery.

Sheikh Abdullah received higher education in Europe and America, learned physics, and knew the danger of battery leakage, so he gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Let's go to the nearest Japan, right away."

The staff of Baotou country immediately acted urgently, applied for flight routes and entry, and prepared to go to Japan for medical treatment.

Haidong’s side couldn’t stop it either. They felt that they were “in the wrong,” and who made Haidong Provincial Children’s Hospital “misdiagnose” it.

Only Principal Li kept muttering:

"Really, Chen Qi, Dr. Chen must have a solution, you give us a chance, let's let Dr. Chen come and take a look."

But no one paid attention to the poor Mrs. Xianglin, oh no, it was the little old man.

Three hours later, the special plane took off directly from Xihu City and headed for Japan.

The big dog left, but left behind a lot of chicken feathers. I don't know how many people will be unlucky.

Chen Qi didn't know anything at this time, and was still worrying about the lack of money for his building.
