Chapter 1910 The conclusion is not good either
John G looked at it for a while, shook his head and said: "With your cervical spondylosis, the effect of surgery will not be very good. Because you have peripheral cervical spondylosis, which compresses the nerve roots. Of course, surgery is not impossible.
If you have to have surgery, I mean the effect won’t be very good, but it can solve some of the problems.”
Lao Zhang was originally full of confidence, but now when he suddenly heard what he said, he immediately fell into the ice hole and was cold to the depths of his bones.
"Is there no hope?" Lao Zhang asked desperately.
"It's not hopeless. Your disease is not life-threatening. It is different from high blood pressure and diabetes. Apart from being uncomfortable, it will not kill you."
John G’s understanding is that this cervical spondylosis is not a big deal, just adjust your mentality.
In his opinion, Lao Zhang's disease is not very serious. Severe patients are suffering from dizziness, weakness and pain in their hands and feet every day.
However, from Lao Zhang's point of view, he thinks that this disease is already very serious, and indeed, it is not serious?
Who said anything other than death is just a scratch? It’s just a fart!
Not to mention why I feel so uncomfortable, I just look like this, shrugging my shoulders, twisting my neck, and shaking my head, which has completely destroyed my personality!
It would be fine if he were an ordinary citizen, but he is the leader of a city, so his image is very important.
At this moment, he had thoughts of death.
He would rather not be an official and would rather lose all his wealth. His only hope is to cure his cervical spondylosis.
"Mr. John, please, please think of another way to see if there is any good way. My illness is really worse than death," Lao Zhang pleaded.
"Mr. Zhang, strictly speaking, your disease is not very serious, and of course it is not very mild. It is somewhere between severe and non-severe. This surgery may be able to relieve some of your problems, but I
It is estimated that the effect will be minimal. You should be more patient, twist your neck more often, and overcome this fear, maybe it will be better."
John G’s words are basically bullshit and have no meaning at all to Lao Zhang.
"You know a lot. Is there any more powerful hospital in the world that treats cervical spondylosis?" Lao Zhang didn't believe that he was incurable, and he didn't want to believe it either.
"Well, as far as I know, there is really no better hospital that can treat your cervical spondylosis. As for hospitals with severe cervical spondylosis, there is a hospital in your country, Antai Hospital, which is very good, but they only treat cervical spondylosis.
Patient, as for your cervical spine problem, there may be no good solution."
John G read it to Lao Zhang, and while explaining it to him, he picked up the second person’s test results and looked at them.
The second patient is not simple either. Old Man Li, one of the four big bosses in the city, is still in office and also has a cervical spine problem. They are Zhou Xiaoguang’s patients and he made an appointment.
Old Man Li has been working at his desk all year round, and his cervical spine has long since undergone degenerative changes. His symptoms are typical cervical spondylosis, pain and discomfort in the shoulders and neck, sometimes numbness in the upper arms, especially the thumbs, and pain in the head and pillow.
This cervical spondylosis is a disease but not a disease, but it is very painful.
He is better than the last Lao Zhang, but it is also a torment for him.
Lao Zhang is young, only 50 years old, while Lao Li is close to 60 and will soon abdicate. Generally speaking, Lao Zhang is suffering more.
John G looked at it for a while and said: "Your blood lipids and blood sugar are not well controlled. This is a problem. I hope you can strengthen the control in this area. As for your cervical spondylosis, it is not to the point of requiring surgery. You can do it
Do traction and infrared physiotherapy."
Old Man Li quickly replied, "It's useless. I've done traction more than a dozen times. I've also done massage and acupuncture, but it's all useless. It's getting worse."
"Well, this disease is a degenerative disease. It used to be called bone hyperplasia, but it is actually caused by osteoporosis. Strictly speaking, there is no good treatment for this disease."
John G gave this sentence again. In a word, there is no way to treat it.
The third one is a coal boss with a huge fortune. He married his daughter-in-law last year. It was such a grand event that he invited some of the most famous broadcasters and hosts in the province from the provincial TV station. The cost alone was 2 million, and he also rented the house.
30 Rolls-Royces cost almost 10 million yuan each. We even held a special party and invited many celebrities from all over the country, which cost more than 10 million yuan.
Anyway, the money in this guy’s family is just a number.
His cervical spondylosis caused weakness, pain, numbness, and fatigue in his left lower limb.
John G watched the film for a while and said: "You need surgery. It is a spinal cord type and the spinal canal is relatively narrow."
"Is the operation easy?" the coal boss asked confusedly.
"Cervical spine surgery is not easy. This is not an appendicitis surgery, nor is it a liver and pancreas surgery. This cervical spine is where all the nerves in the body pass through, which is the size of a finger. If you are not careful, the surgery can cause the patient to become paraplegic. Do you think it is easy?
?"
John G will never allow others to say that cervical spondylosis is low-tech. He believes that he belongs to a cutting-edge discipline in the clinical profession.
In the past, surgeons looked down upon internal medicine. When a patient came, they would prescribe the "three nutrients": hormones, antibiotics, and vitamins. Internists looked down upon surgeons even more. They only knew that one size fits all, and their medication was always confusing. Even the combination of antibiotics was unreasonable.
Don't talk about the difference between Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Use high-end antibiotics whenever you can.
Later, with the advancement of science and technology and the development of more and more new technologies, this situation changed, and the boundaries between internal medicine and surgery became blurred.
For example, since cardiovascular medicine has been involved in intervention, it is difficult to say that it is still a pure internal medicine. The same is true for neurology. Puncture, drainage, and vascular intervention are not more like brain surgery?
As the population ages, surgical patients are no longer just for surgical diseases. The patients they face may have severe heart failure or respiratory failure, as well as high blood pressure and diabetes.
In this way, controlling medical diseases has also become a topic faced by surgeons.
However, no matter how you put it, cervical spine surgery is a clinical discipline that has only developed in recent years and is a high-level discipline.
A few decades ago, only a few hospitals around the world dared to perform cervical spine surgery. John G would never allow others to say that cervical spine surgery is easy.
"Let me tell you, even if I help you with your disease, I dare not say that I am 100% sure." John G said harshly. He was already sure, but he spoke in official terms.
Use a common clinical tone when dealing with patients, "There is a risk, there is a big risk. I can only say that I am 80% sure at most."
These words of John G scared the coal boss half to death.
However, he didn’t want to scare the patients away. This guy was rich and might have gone to hospitals such as Hopkins University. Although the hospitals in West Germany were very powerful, their reputations were still far behind.
