It was already late at night, and she pushed her mother to the hospital for emergency treatment. Unexpectedly, the hospital's emergency room was still overcrowded. There were people suffering from cerebral infarction, people rolling on the ground with stomachache, and children suffering from convulsions and convulsions due to high fever. Parents
While shouting for help, every patient looked more worried than Shu Ma's symptoms. Shu Ma kept coughing and coughing, her high fever never went down, and she occasionally breathed heavily. Shu Tinglan was thin-skinned, especially in this environment.
Under this situation, every patient was anxious. She could not jump in line, so she could only wait anxiously next to her, checking from time to time when it would be their turn.
After waiting for about an hour, Shu's mother's cough became more serious, almost never stopping, as if her trachea was spasming, and then her face turned red, and she opened her mouth to take a big breath in between coughs.
Shu Tinglan was so shocked that she rushed straight into the doctor's office without caring about her face or the anxiety and anger of other patients.
: "Doctor, my mother can't breathe. Could you please take a look at her?"
Her expression and voice were panicked. She ignored the glares of other patients and pushed her mother's wheelchair in front of the doctor. Shu's mother was still gasping for air, her face was redder than before, as if she was suffocating.
After the doctor saw it, he quickly stood up and walked towards Shu's mother, asking about the symptoms as he walked.
"How long?"
"I started coughing yesterday, and I have a high fever tonight that won't go away." Shu Tinglan answered hurriedly.
The doctor listened with the stethoscope for less than a few seconds, and his face suddenly changed.
"Send to the emergency room, quickly."
Then two nurses came up and pushed the wheelchair from Shu Tinglan's hands. The doctor dropped his stethoscope and ran all the way to the emergency room.
There was a clang in Shu Tinglan's head, as if a huge boulder had fallen on her. Her brain went blank and her legs were weak and she could not walk. A nurse came over and gave her two pieces of paper to sign.
One is a surgical sheet for incising the trachea and injecting oxygen;
One is a critical illness notice.
In critical condition?
how so?
"Hurry up and sign. The patient needs surgery immediately, otherwise his life will be in danger at any time." The nurse urged.
Shu Tinglan's brain was buzzing, and the four big words "critical illness notice" were like a curse. Her hands were shaking so much that she reluctantly signed her name and followed the nurse all the way to the operating room.
"Family members are not allowed in." The nurse stopped him coldly and closed the door.
She leaned against the door outside the operating room. Her whole body was exhausted, and she slapped herself hard. It hurt. It was not a dream, it was not a dream. Why did her mother suddenly want to rescue her? Yesterday, she was talking and laughing with her in the car.
.
In the list she just signed, she only vaguely remembered a few words: influenza, pneumonia, and acute epiglottitis.
Flu, pneumonia, she knew what it was, but what was acute epiglottitis?
She checked online and found out that it is an acute disease of the throat. The onset is sudden and the condition develops rapidly. It will cause respiratory obstruction in a short period of time, making the patient want to drown. He will hold his breath and eventually suffocate. If not treated in time, he will suffocate at any time.
