   Chapter 280 Wang Ruoxi

  The onset of acute cholecystitis is due to the obstruction of the cystic duct by tumors, stones, etc., resulting in the retention of bile in the gallbladder and secondary bacterial infection, which causes acute inflammation.

  Lu Chen immediately contacted his roommate who was working the night shift in the emergency department, and then sent Wang Zihao to the emergency department.

   Came to the emergency department.

  Lu Chen took Wang Zihao to take an abdominal CT scan. Less than ten minutes later, he was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis.

   After the doctor on duty in the emergency department applied painkillers and antispasmodics to Wang Zihao, his pain was relieved a lot.

   At this time, their other roommate was Xing Yu, a graduate student in the nephrology department, who was rotating in the emergency department this month.

   "Pharaoh, you bastard, I'll let you eat breakfast on a regular basis, look, you know it hurts now!"

  Xing Yu stood beside the bed in the emergency room and scolded with a smile.

When    is not eating, the gallbladder is full of bile, and the gallbladder mucosa absorbs water to thicken the bile. At this time, cholesterol/lecithin bullae are easily formed, and the viscosity of the bile also increases, finally forming bile sludge and gallstones.

   "Hey, I've had pain before, but it wasn't so painful! Who knew it would be so **** painful!" Wang Zihao lay on the bed and shuddered at the thought of the previous pain.

   "Zihao, I just saw your abdominal CT. There are high-density shadows in the gallbladder. There are a lot of stones. You may need surgery as soon as possible." Lu Chen said.

   Wang Zihao nodded.

Acute cholecystitis is a common and frequently-occurring disease. Females are 2 to 3 times more common than males, especially in middle-aged and obese people. The symptoms improve after more than 12 to 24 hours of treatment, and the symptoms subside within 3 to 7 days. The total mortality rate is 3%. ~5%.

  As a graduate student in surgery, Wang Zihao also understands that the best way for gallstone-type cholecystitis is to cut the gallbladder directly!

   "I'll go directly to the general surgery department later." Wang Zihao said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, thank you tonight! It's almost one or two o'clock, please take me to the emergency room."

   "It's all in the same bedroom, what's there to thank, hurry up and get well." Lu Chen said.

   Xing Yu ordered a few words, and after asking Wang Zihao to temporarily fast from food and water, he left.

   At this moment, a flamboyant girl walked into the emergency observation room.

   She has a melon-seeded face, a small Qiong nose, and light makeup on her face. She looks extremely delicate and tall.

   The most conspicuous thing is that her two long legs are exposed to the air and are particularly dazzling.

   As soon as she entered the room, she walked directly towards Wang Zihao.

   When Lu Chen saw this, he thought that the person who came was Wang Zihao's girlfriend, so he quickly stepped aside.

   Unexpectedly, Wang Zihao said: "Sister...you, you are here..."

  Lu Chen was taken aback, this beautiful girl was actually Wang Zihao's sister.

   I saw the woman frowning and muttering: "What's the matter, stomach pain in the middle of the night?"

   "Sister, this is cholecystitis caused by gallstones..." Wang Zihao seemed to be afraid of his elder sister, and whispered, "This disease happens more often at night."

  Acute cholecystitis usually occurs more at night.

  The reason is that when we stand or sit with the bottom of the gallbladder facing down, the stone sinks at the bottom. When sleeping at night, the patient lies on his back or on the left side, and the bottom of the gallbladder is turned upward.

   Stones can easily roll to the neck of the gallbladder and get stuck due to gravity, so that the bile cannot be discharged and affect the contraction of the gallbladder, which will cause bursts of pain.

Another reason is that if you eat high-fat food at night, the biliary system itself will be inflamed or stones will cause the bile duct to be blocked. However, in order to digest the high-fat food that enters the body, the gallbladder needs to increase contraction and excrete more bile, and the bile duct is blocked, resulting in nighttime. The pain keeps the patient awake at night.

   "You still have the face to say, a doctor, and you spoil yourself like this?!" The woman frowned.

  Although the woman was not polite, Lu Chen could see that her eyes were full of worry.

   "Sister, I may go to hospital in general surgery later, I have to be accompanied by family members, and I may have to operate on you later, so don't let my parents know about it for the time being." Wang Zihao said.

   "Don't worry, I'm not stupid." The woman said slowly, then looked at Lu Chen who was beside her, "This is..."

   Wang Zihao said quickly: "Sister, this is my roommate, his name is Lu Chen."

   "Lu Chen, this is my sister, my sister Wang Ruoxi."

  Lu Chen nodded to Wang Ruoxi, "Hello."

  Wang Ruoxi also nodded in response and smiled, "Thank you, classmate Lu, now that I'm here, I'll just take care of my brother. Go back and rest, thank you."

   "Okay, Zihao, I'll go back first." Seeing that Wang Zihao was more than half healed, Lu Chen explained some precautions, then said hello to Xing Yu, and went back to the dormitory.

   After Lu Chen left, Wang Ruoxi stayed with Wang Zihao in the emergency room.

   "Sister, I'm sorry, but you have to take a day off from work tomorrow..." Wang Zihao said.

"Hey, tell me, you still have to take good care of yourself at ordinary times, and even make yourself into cholecystitis." Wang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "You'd better, find a girlfriend to take good care of you, so as not to be alone , don't even eat breakfast!"

   Wang Zihao scratched his head, "How can a girlfriend be so easy to find? Besides, we usually don't have time, and we don't have time to talk about it. Let's talk about it."

  Wang Ruoxi thought about it for a while, but that's true, and then thought: "But your roommate is not bad, even in the middle of the night, you were sent to the emergency room."

   Wang Zihao smiled and said, "That's for sure. Lu Chen and I are good buddies. He was the one who led our school team to win the championship of the National Skills Competition together."

   "Oh? That's him?" Wang Ruoxi said in surprise.

   She knew very well that her younger brother's level was above average among her peers.

   He was able to represent the school team and won the first place in the skill competition?

   Their whole family did not believe the news.

  It was not until they saw the relevant news on the Internet and the trophy brought back by Wang Zihao that they believed the news of Wang Zihao winning the championship.

   I have to say that the rest of the school team are really good, and they can actually bring their younger brother.

   "Sister, didn't you know that Lu Chen recently entered the third round of the provincial ECG competition!" Wang Zihao said, "This is the top ten in the province!"

   This time, Wang Ruoxi was even more surprised.

   She was also a clinical medical student before. Although she failed to become a doctor for various reasons, she is now engaged in medicine-related occupations.

   She is well aware of the weight of a young graduate student entering the third round in such a large competition.

  My brother's roommate is really not easy!

  …

   At this time, the protagonist Lu Chen has returned to the bedroom.

   It's past two in the morning now.

   He has to hurry up and get some sleep, and he has to go to work tomorrow morning.
