The video about “Second Uncle” has been widely circulated on the Internet in the past two days. Many people feel that they have been cured. I watched it at least 3 times, and even asked my graduate students to go there. Check it out and recommend it to everyone. The second uncle, who is excellent in studies and is known as a gifted boy, suffered four consecutive injections in the buttocks due to a barefoot doctor in junior high school, and his left leg was disabled. But even though the left leg was disabled, the second uncle still played the “bad card” positively and optimistically; many people said that the barefoot doctor must have misdiagnosed, causing the second uncle to be disabled. What is the reason for the second uncle to play four Is the needle disabled? Dr. He also reviewed a lot of literature with doubts; he found the most likely cause: “gluteal muscle contracture”.
Gluteal muscle contracture is a disease caused by fibrotic contracture of buttock muscles and fascia caused by a variety of congenital or acquired causes, characterized by abnormal hip morphology and hip joint mobility dysfunction. characteristic clinical conditions. The typical symptom of the disease is that the patient walks with an outward splay, commonly known as “frog feet” or “row legs”. So as described by Master Up: Uncle Second did not want to go back to school, so he sat on the patio and watched the sky for a year, “like a big frog”.
Actually, in the 1990s, the incidence of gluteal muscle contracture in our country was still quite high, of course, the disease was mild or severe (like the second uncle was less serious); at the beginning , it is found that many children have gluteal muscle contracture after injection of penicillin, which is considered to be a complication after injection of penicillin; but after investigating the reason, it is found that the real culprit is “benzyl alcohol”, which is used to dissolve penicillin. It relieves the local pain caused by penicillin injection, but it also produces strong stimulation to the muscles, which can easily lead to muscle contractures. The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University once reported an 18-year prospective cohort study. In 1995, Ashan Village in Xingping City began to give intervention measures to prohibit the use of benzyl alcohol to dissolve penicillin; 18 years later, the incidence of gluteal muscle contracture in 3-18 year olds in 2013 was 0.49% (2/410); The incidence of gluteal muscle contracture in the group (using benzyl alcohol to dissolve penicillin) was 13.08% (109/833). There are many clinical or animal studies that have reported similar results. So, after this, benzyl alcohol is no longer used to dissolve penicillin.
Therefore, the second uncle’s leg was lame after the injection, and the most likely reason was the injection of penicillin containing “benzyl alcohol”. Therefore, this cannot be said to be misdiagnosed and mistreated, and it is not to blame. The barefoot doctor at that time; it can be regarded as a little “innocence” for this doctor.
At the end of the writing, I still admire “Second Uncle” very much and feel healed; just as Lord Up said, “Having healthy limbs, having gone to college, and being born in an era full of opportunities, I should live a fuller life than my second uncle.”
