Popeye? The one who likes to eat canned spinach? Sun Lien was startled by the status bar in front of him. What the hell is this Popeye sign? After eating spinach, will the muscles become huge squares? Or, is it?
After being provoked, will you be anxious to find spinach everywhere?
Sun Lien is like most ordinary people. He only watched a few episodes of Popeye cartoons when he was a child. If the sailor named Bupai hadn't changed so much after eating spinach, he might have forgotten this.
What exactly does this weird and weird guy look like?
As for the "Popeye Sign", it must have never been taught in medical school. Otherwise, Sun Lien wouldn't have to wonder what the other person's problem is. Look at the other person's painful expression, and the right arm and shoulder that were pressed hard.
, Sun Lien estimated that this was probably a symptom of some kind of special muscle or bone injury.
No, I'm too curious. Before Sun Lien realized that he was curious, he turned around and re-entered the rescue hall, and asked the nurse at the medical guidance desk, "Is there a wheelchair?"
When Sun Lien found a wheelchair, Wu Ge happened to finish registering at the toll window. Although the pain was severe, his vital signs were still stable, so the nurses at the medical guidance desk classified him into three types of patients for registration.
You can only do it yourself. However, compared to the more stable Category 4 patients, his schedule will be advanced much earlier.
"Sit down." Sun Lien pushed the wheelchair and smiled at Wu Ge. Then he pointed to the work permit hanging on his chest, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor."
"Doctor?" Wu Ge glanced at Sun Lien and said with some confusion, "Doctors now even have to do volunteer work?"
Sun Lien smiled and asked him to sit in the wheelchair. He never mentioned his curiosity and instead advised, "Your shoulder is injured, right? It may involve your shoulder when you walk, so it will be better to sit in a wheelchair."
Wu Ge sat down suspiciously. It was not that he suspected that Sun Lien might be some kind of medical fraud, but would the doctor be so enthusiastic? He began to worry about himself. Could it be that he had a very rare and serious disease? It was not the case online.
There is a joke that when the doctor comes over and shows special interest in me and asks about the process in detail... Is he not far away from death?
As soon as I entered the hospital and registered, a doctor came to me. It must not be because of the disease, right? Didn't they even do a check-up?
Wu Ge continued to be confused and couldn't think of a logical explanation at all. He got into the wheelchair in a daze and was slowly pushed into the second clinic by Sun Lien, who was calling the number.
"Dr. Sun, aren't you off work?" The doctor on duty in the emergency department today is deputy chief physician Lin Tianshun. As a student of Zheng Guoyou, his attitude towards Sun Lien was gentle and polite. He saw Sun Lien pushing a
The man walked in, and Lin Tianshun quickly greeted Sun Lien. Although his face was polite, Lin Tianshun was a little embarrassed in his heart. Usually when they encountered patients who were in trouble, they would transfer them to Sun Lien's ninth clinic.
.Now Sun Lien has sent someone here in a wheelchair... He's not looking for trouble, is he?
Of course, Sun Lien was not looking for trouble. In fact, he was here to watch the fun. After briefly explaining his situation, Wu Ge carefully took off his coat, revealing the short-sleeved T-shirt underneath, as well as the fact that he had been covered
Covered right arm.
"This is Popeye syndrome." After seeing Wu Ge's right arm, Lin Tianshun pointed at Sun Li'en and introduced, "It is said that the name of this syndrome was given by an American doctor. Isn't it very appropriate?"
Wu Ge's biceps on his right arm are as high as a puff pastry after eating spinach, which looks very unusual. Compared with the normal left arm, the diameter of the biceps on his right arm is about the size of the left arm.
It is about 1.5 to 2 times the size of the arm. It is completely unlike what a normal person should look like. His arm is lowered vertically, and there should be no signs of contraction or expansion of the biceps.
"The person who originally named this symptom must have loved watching TV." Sun Lien spread his hands. This phenomenon was indeed very novel. He even took two photos of Wu Ge's arms with his mobile phone after asking for his permission.
"Popeye syndrome is a very clear abnormality of the body surface." Lin Tianshun continued to introduce, and then said to Wu Ge, "I will hold your right hand. Please raise your right hand as much as possible and try to resist my impact on your arm.
strength."
Wu Ge grinned and complied. Lin Tianshun didn't use much force. In the process, Wu Geben raised his arms and became stronger.
"Well, it is indeed Popeye Syndrome." Lin Tianshun put down Wu Ge's hand, "This is a manifestation of the rupture of the biceps tendon. Because it lost its fixation, the very elastic muscles curled up, so it caused
This phenomenon has occurred." He looked at Wu Ge and said, "Treatment requires surgery. The ruptured tendons can be sutured back together."
As soon as he heard that surgery was needed, Wu Ge's face suddenly changed color. He hesitated for a long time before continuing to ask, "Does it have to be surgery?"
"Yes." Lin Tianshun nodded, "Tendons are like rubber bands. After an ordinary rubber band breaks, it is difficult to put it back together. Through surgery, we can reconnect the tendons.
But whether the tendon can grow well and to what extent it can grow depends on your personal constitution." It is the habit of every doctor to say ugly things in front of you.
Sun Lien suddenly interrupted, "I just saw that you were not only covering your arms, but also covering your shoulders. Is your shoulder injured too?"
"It hurts anyway..." Wu Ge sighed. "I'm trying to lose weight recently. I heard from my friends that swimming is very effective, so I applied for a card for a constant-temperature swimming pool. Unexpectedly, I've only been swimming for a few months.
Just make your shoulders look like this..."
Lin Tianshun looked at Wu Ge's somewhat fat figure and asked casually, "Isn't it difficult to lose weight by swimming?"
"It's quite difficult." Wu Ge replied with a sad face, "I lost fifty pounds in five months."
"Awesome." Dr. Lin couldn't help but praise, then coughed twice and continued to ask, "Did the shoulder pain occur before or after the arm became like this?"
"Before," Wu Ge answered honestly, "I thought it was a muscle strain or something like that at first. Even after applying a lot of plasters, it didn't get better. Today, when I was doing exercise with equipment, my arm suddenly became weak.
Then there was a strange sound...and that's what happened after that."
"There may be a rotator cuff tear." Dr. Lin sighed, "The long head of the biceps tendon exists in the rotator cuff space and the intertubercular groove. If the long head tendon is severed, the rotator cuff may also be damaged.
There will be serious injuries. I will admit you to the orthopedic department first, and let the inpatient department arrange an MRI on you tomorrow to check your condition."
"Is it possible without surgery?" Wu Ge asked a question that many patients would ask, "I'm very busy at work..."
"That's definitely not possible." Lin Tianshun said seriously, "If the tendon rupture is not repaired quickly, the ruptured tendon may become fat and retract. If it is dragged back, the tendon may not be long enough. Otherwise, your arm will be damaged for the rest of your life.
It's useless, or the doctor will forcefully stretch the tendon to connect it for you, and then your arm will have to be curled up all the time."
Sun Lien looked at Wu Ge who was sweating profusely and patted his healthy left shoulder with some sympathy. "Losing weight is of course a good thing, but you have to do what you can."
