The elderly are too stubborn. In the face of the fierce COVID-19 epidemic, they still insist on not taking the vaccine . In December, domestic epidemic control was suddenly relaxed. I can't help but sigh: No matter how good the medical treatment is, it can only cure diseases but not save lives!
didn’t update many headlines this week because my mother was hospitalized due to the new coronavirus. I was in a meeting at work on Tuesday morning when I suddenly received a call from my mother, but the call on the other end of the phone was from a doctor at Kaifeng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. It turned out that my mother called the 120 emergency hotline because of fever and chest tightness and requested hospitalization at Kaifeng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
The doctor felt that the condition was very serious and asked our family members to rush to the hospital immediately. So the child's father drove and we rushed to Kaifeng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital at noon. At noon that day, my mother was still in good condition. She also ate a Pizza Hut pizza and a piece of chicken wings at noon. I was also thinking about the infection in the lungs, which can be cured and treated in the hospital - we all underestimated the seriousness of the new crown disease!
So I was a little careless! At 10 a.m. the next day, I had to rush to my unit in Zhengzhou to attend the year-end meeting in the afternoon. After that, I rushed back to the hospital in Kaifeng, , in the evening. After the doctor saw me, he immediately asked me to go to the doctor's office and said that someone must be left in the hospital to accompany me at night, because the condition of the new coronavirus changes rapidly, and many elderly people cannot breathe and die suddenly.
When I returned to the ward, although my mother kept urging me to go back to rest, I did not go back. I stayed with my mother at night.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, I saw my mother sitting up. She groaned in discomfort. I quickly slapped the doctor's office door and called the doctor out of his sleep. The doctor, who looked unhappy, measured the blood oxygen saturation and found it was only 75. He quickly asked the nurse to inject catechin, perform nebulization, and use a mask to inhale oxygen. Slowly, my mother's blood oxygen saturation rose to 83. The doctor still called me to the office and asked us to transfer to another hospital immediately. He said: "There is no ventilator in the hospital now, and there is no medicine. No matter what we do, we must be transferred to a hospital with rescue conditions immediately. In this situation, the old man may pass at any time."
I said: "Isn't it better with the injection?"
The doctor still insisted on transferring to another hospital, and said: "If we go back in the afternoon What about deterioration? Transferring to ICU in our hospital means inhaling oxygen, but there is no ventilator or medicine. By the way, Ball C is going to lose. The medicines of and Pfizer are more effective and can be used. "
I said: "Okay, no matter how expensive it is, just give it to me! "
The doctor said: "We don't have these two medicines here, you have to buy them yourself! "
"? Why is there no medicine? ” I blurted out.
"Where can I buy it? Do you have the phone number of the medical representative?" I asked hurriedly.
"No, there is no phone number! You should contact us about the transfer first. The ventilator is more important than anything else!"
I didn't dare to delay. I started calling my classmates one by one at around 6 o'clock in the morning. All the classmates who worked in the hospital said: "There are no beds and no ventilators! If I want to live in Huaihe Hospital ht The ICU in ml2 must have the signature of the director, and there is no ventilator, so you have to wait in line! Because now the ICU is filled with the parents of the hospital's medical staff and relatives of the leaders, and one person has to leave before one can enter the ICU! "
I had no choice but to call again, and finally at 12:10 noon, I was transferred to a hospital with ventilators in Zhengzhou. When I came to Zhengzhou, I called the private 120 emergency ambulance number and spent 2,100 yuan to transport me to Zhengzhou. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the cuu ward in Zhengzhou, I heard the doctor say that the blood oxygen saturation dropped to 50! The doctors and nurses immediately cut open the clothes, invasively intubated and put him on a ventilator. It took 5 minutes for the blood oxygen saturation to rise to 90! So thrilling!
After waiting for a while, the doctor gave me the "Notification of Critical Illness " and told me about the condition. There was also a notice of rescue measures for me to sign. He told me: "In your mother's situation, the blood oxygen saturation is only 50. If it is not high, After being put on a ventilator, the person fell into coma in the afternoon and passed away in the evening! After being put on the ventilator, the blood oxygen saturation rose to 90, but the mortality rate of the new coronavirus is still 44%. You must be prepared!"
I hurriedly expressed that I understand and try my best to save him.
I didn’t understand at the time, so I marked ✓ on whether to perform compressions and whether to give electric shocks. Later, the child’s father told me that compression would fracture ’s ribs and ’s, and the skin of the heart would be burned black before and after the electric shock rescue. I was so scared that I quickly downloaded it on Baidu, and it was indeed like this!
Later, the doctor came out to explain the condition to us. I mentioned that compression would fracture the ribs? The doctor said yes, basically 70% of patients will have rib fractures after the first round of compressions - because they have to compress 5 centimeters, otherwise the heart will not beat! The electric shock is a high-voltage electricity that causes the heart to pace. The current is relatively large and will burn the skin! I was so scared that I hurriedly asked the doctor not to perform these two treatments if my condition really worsened! ——I estimate that the person will not be well after being rescued!
I thought silently in my heart: I'm sorry, mom, you originally told us that we would go to New Zealand for euthanasia in the future and not perform traumatic rescue. But the situation is urgent and the children are not allowed to make a choice at all! ——While I was waiting in line to pay, the invasive ventilator was installed, and if I didn’t rescue it, how could I be a child?
Although I later learned from Baidu that an invasive ventilator requires removing a piece of throat bone, which is an operation! However, the condition of COVID-19 progresses too fast, and the blood oxygen saturation drops too fast. There is no room for hesitation. It is too late to inform the family during the rescue, but I support rescue in crisis situations - after all, there is still a 56% chance of survival! The wound will eventually heal!
When the doctor was rescuing me, I called my sister in the United States about my condition. It turned out that what my mother lied to me about "getting a shot of vaccine" was all false, and she was just trying to deal with me when I was in a hurry! My mother told my sister that she hadn’t received a single shot of vaccine!
Alas, after hearing this, I was so angry that I had nothing to say! The vaccines provided free of charge by the state are still not being administered. I once asked my mother why she was not vaccinated, but she hesitated and refused to take them anyway! Later I found out that none of my mother’s friends had been vaccinated! It may be out of various worries - in fact, it is all about scaring yourself and not compromising with science!
The virus of the new coronavirus is very powerful, especially for the elderly - the initial symptoms are not serious within 5 days of the onset. For example, my mother hardly coughs, has no phlegm, and has no high fever, but her lungs have turned white. The key is that anti-inflammation is useless at this time, because the blood oxygen saturation drops straight down, and the person will fall into coma all of a sudden!
Alas, stubborn and conservative ideas kill people! My mother suffered so much for nothing, and she felt distressed and helpless!
The doctor meant to try resuscitation for 3 days...
Alas, tonight my son came up to me and asked: "Mom, do you have anything to say to me?"
I said: "Yes! People, no matter how old they are, must believe in science. The country has free vaccines. The country has been protecting the elderly for three years, and it really can't be blocked. We can no longer block and control, and the society will be unstable if we continue to block and control! In addition, people must live and learn until they are old, and they must have some young friends, because if they are surrounded by people who are as old as themselves and are very conservative in thinking and say they will not get vaccinated, the conservative group power will also make them lose their correct judgment! "
Therefore, I advise the elderly to get vaccinated! Because I know a 94-year-old man who only received 2 injections of the vaccine. He also had a fever after being released this time, but he recovered after just anti-inflammation. He would not be like my mother, whose blood oxygen saturation plummeted, who had to take out the laryngeal bone tube, intubate, and have nasal feeding and suffer!
The country has protected us for three years. It is really not easy, but we have done a good enough job! I feel that the country gave me the opportunity to extend my mother’s life for three years. In order to popularize vaccines, the country rewarded eggs and masks last year, so just do your best and follow fate! Even if some diseases are cured, the person's life is gone. There is nothing we can do. It is really the knowledge that determines everything!
Therefore, I advise those who have elderly people at home to get vaccinated as soon as possible without delay. If it is too late to get vaccinated, take Azivudine . Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, do your best, and obey fate!
alas
