Don’t fight when you’re sick! Two high school senior girls admitted to hospital in critical condition

Sanxiang Metropolis Daily·New Hunan Client, February 24th (all media reporter Li Qi correspondent Deng Jun Sun Chenghuan Gao Lin intern Xiao Yulu) Two high school girls were afraid of delaying their review, so they fought hard due to illness, and both He was admitted to Changsha Central Hospital (Changsha Central Hospital affiliated to South China University). Today, experts from Changsha Central Hospital reminded that if you have a physical condition, you must seek medical treatment in time, and a healthy body can win.

Four months ago, Wang Li (pseudonym), an 18-year-old senior high school girl, often felt weak, and the skin on her lower extremities would appear bruised from time to time. Because of the tight study schedule, Wang Li didn’t care. Two months ago, Wang Li’s lower extremity bruised skin turned into large ecchymosis, and her dizziness and fatigue also worsened, so she went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor found that Wang Li’s platelets were significantly reduced, and suggested that she be admitted to the hospital for observation. However, considering the stress of her studies, Wang Li was not hospitalized. She only asked the doctor to prescribe platelet-raising medicine for her to go home for treatment. After that, Wang Li’s symptoms were not relieved. Instead, she developed symptoms such as headache, vomiting, and transient slurred speech. Aware of the serious condition of the child’s body, Wang Li’s family brought her to the Department of Hematology of Changsha Central Hospital for treatment.

After examination, it was found that Wang Li’s platelets had dropped to 14*109/L (the normal value was 100-300*109/L), and there was a high risk of bleeding. Based on other examinations, the doctor considered Wang Li as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). “The onset of TTP is acute and the condition is dangerous. If it is not treated, the mortality rate is as high as 90%.” The condition was urgent, and the hematologist decided to immediately perform plasma exchange treatment on Wang Li. After treatment, the condition is basically stable.

Coincidentally, Xiao Ran (pseudonym), also a senior in high school, felt tightness in her chest when she woke up in the morning, and occasionally felt a tingling sensation. She thought it was a “stomach pain”. Teachers and parents did not ask teachers for help until the pain intensified in the afternoon and difficulty in breathing. He was urgently sent to the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Changsha Central Hospital for treatment, and a right pneumothorax was found by CT examination. The doctor immediately gave symptomatic treatment such as oxygen inhalation and a closed chest drainage tube for drainage. After the tube was placed, a large amount of gas was discharged from the chest drainage tube. Only then did Xiao Ran feel that the difficulty in breathing improved.

Chen Fancai, deputy chief physician of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, explained that Xiao Ran’s “stomach pain” was actually caused by the rupture of the “bullous” to form a pneumothorax. If not treated in time, it could cause breathing difficulties and endanger life.

Chen Fancai especially reminded the majority of family members and students that they should seek medical attention in time if they have chest tightness, chest pain, dyspnea and other discomforts. Surgical treatment, currently through thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery, can be discharged in about 3-4 days after surgery, without delaying too much study time, and if the treatment is delayed for fear of delaying study, it will bring great hidden dangers to health. Not worth the loss.
