An 82-year-old man is usually in good health and has a good meal. He is envied by the elderly around him and thinks that he has booked a seat for a hundred-year-old long-lived elderly person.
The children and grandchildren are also very filial, and they are all fine, and they are all good at everything. Now that the living standards have improved, I have to take the elderly to have a physical examination.
The physical examination result was shocking. The elderly who are healthy everywhere have multiple diseases: hypertension , plaques in the blood vessels in the neck, thyroid and lungs nodules , cysts in the liver and kidneys, and the most serious and difficult thing is that there is a malignant tumor on the left kidney! What to do if
?
After discussing, the family decided to perform surgery on the elderly.
When the doctor was hospitalized for the patient, he told his family that due to his age, high blood pressure and vascular plaque, the operation is at a high risk and there is a risk of losing both money.
But if the surgery is not done, there is no other good treatment for kidney cancer . It may be too late to think about surgery when the cancer grows up and metastasizes.
The family is still willing to take a try. Although the elderly have no symptoms now, after a while, when the tumor is painful and hematuria symptoms, is it necessary to watch the elderly suffer?
hospitalization surgery!
After being admitted to the hospital, one examination was performed: CT, renal dynamic imaging, electrocardiogram, etc., and finally, the operation was about to be carried out the next day!
The doctor called his family again and signed the last conversation before the operation. This time, the family retreated!
Spend some money, and have the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme support, so your family can still bear it.
If the old man is really unfortunate, he can't break through and lose his people, although his family is in pain, he can understand it. After all, leaving an elderly person in his 80s may not be a relief.
What the family members cannot accept is the third situation mentioned by the doctor: the elderly are old and have high blood pressure, and the kidney function is already damaged. The surgery will inevitably destroy part of the kidney function, and renal failure may occur after the operation. If renal failure, long-term dialysis may be required!
This is difficult for the elderly and their families who rarely come to the hospital in their lifetime. Do you think this is more painful than death?
In the end, the family refused the operation!
This aroused my reflection on the necessity of physical examination: physical examination can indeed detect the underlying diseases in our bodies in advance, which is beneficial for the early detection of diseases, but it will also put people who discover diseases in a contradiction and pain. For some diseases that do not need to be treated for the time being, it means overtreatment; if not treated, it seems like a big stone hanging above the head, making people restless.
Finally, my reflection results: physical examination is still necessary. After all, if a physical examination finds a disease, we still have the right to treat or not to treat; if there is no physical examination and no disease is found, we can only passively accept no treatment! #Telebrity Creation Challenge##Good Doctor Escorts Health##Health Science Competition#
