Recently, my wife's right knee pain often, do not know when to start, a number of years and increasingly serious, now the right knee joint has been deformed, the lower limb bone head slightly flared out, and sometimes the pain can not sleep, to the pain of 4 degrees. If not treated, let it develop, will affect the other limb foot knee joint. In my "urge", my wife to dispel all the hesitation, so we braved the summer heat to the provincial capital attached to a hospital to seek medical advice.
Do your homework beforehand, make an appointment online. the morning of Tuesday, July 13, orthopedic Dr. Zhang looked after, said, "the right knee bone has been deformed, you can do joint replacement surgery. However, it's good to say, and bad to say, that the surgery is also risky. You if the action can take care of themselves, did not affect your life and living, do not have to do surgery."
To do surgery or not, the patient to decide, the doctor does not make decisions. Before, his wife also once in the hometown of the hospital, the doctor said, "your joints, from the mother's birth to bring the original original, not as a last resort, do not easily change. Foreign artificial parts, not necessarily suitable for you, and there is a limit to the life of artificial joints can be used for up to twenty years." When my wife heard that the life span of artificial joints is only twenty years at most, she has been forcing herself to endure the pain and wait until she is sixty years old to have an operation, which is enough for her whole life, and she doesn't have to replace it for the second time when she is eighty years old. However, many things are often not what they are supposed to be, and it is not destined to be that easy. As long as walking, labor, housework, or more tired, in the evening, the whole day's hard work together to settle accounts. In the dialect of southern Fujian, it is called "throwing and running during the daytime, and making a tiger's roar all night long." During the day, because of the concentration on doing things, I don't know the pain. At night, before going to bed, it is difficult. Sometimes I apply some drops, sometimes I put on some ointment, sometimes I rub peppermint ice, sometimes I take some painkillers, and then I can barely sleep. After passing through, to the next day, often "good scars forget the pain" as if, the last night's pain forgotten. Life is always alternating between day and night, and the wife's day is always in the joint pain and forget the pain between the repeated.
My wife has been suffering from knee pain for a few years now. Traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, fire cupping ...... on taking medication, more than eating a few baskets. Especially Chinese medicine, also changed several doctors. Almost all of the doctors, are used to give the patient prescribed six posters of medicine, more exaggerated is that some doctors a prescription is twelve posters of medicine. It is the decoction jar, also bought several. Doctors did not see less, medicine did not eat less, is not well. Western medicine, also ate several kinds of, is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. In the long run, the five viscera and six bowels will also suffer damage, especially the heart, liver and kidney.
When the knee is sore and painful, think of the time to do surgery. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. People walk on two legs, one left and one right, one front and one back; and our thoughts are always swaying left and right. When swaying from side to side, it is hard to push life forward and limp through the good days.
To the provincial capital attached to a hospital, only to know what is called a sea of people, only to know what is called overcrowding. You hesitated to be hospitalized, the big hospital is not bad for you a patient. You make up your mind to be hospitalized, but there is no bed, to live down, you have to go to the "day clinic" billing. After you have been billed, you have to be examined here and there. During the immunization period, we had to do a nucleic acid test first. Then check urine and stool, blood, electrocardiogram, ultrasound, CT, MRI **** vibration ...... large hospitals, full of patients, can not be rushed, slowly, Tuesday began to do the examination, until Sunday noon to finish. From the perspective of a large hospital, this speed, say fast, say slow is not slow ah. The patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be patient should be subject to the arrangement of doctor. Checks should be gradual, the hospital should be well organized. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money.

In the first attached to the outside of the residence "such as home", lived for three nights. In the boredom of waiting anxiously in the hope, finally in the afternoon on Thursday to handle the procedures, live in the hospital surgical building, 8 area 19th floor, beds × ×. Surgical building, is the highest building in the hospital, *** 26 floors, the majestic and spectacular surgical building is also the hospital's most luxurious building. Life is unfamiliar, no sense of direction. Do not know the ward is facing south and north. The room has three beds and still looks crowded. At night, if each patient comes to a family member to accompany, you have to add another three cribs, the whole ward will seem particularly crowded, watertight. When my wife and I were admitted, since my wife hadn't had the surgery yet, we were crammed into one bed, facing the opposite direction, and we could barely lie flat. Sometimes the escort sleeps deeper, it is inevitable that sometimes the hustle and bustle of more than half of the bed, the patient instead of curled up and dare not turn over. Later, I will find a caregiver rented a small bamboo bed, in the wife's bed next to the floor, does not affect the patient rest.
We just settled down, soon, the medical staff pushed a patient who had just finished surgery, placed in the next bed. After more than two hours, a miracle occurred, the doctor who operated on her came and asked if she was awake, then called her up and asked her to walk on the floor, of course with the help of a four-legged crutch to walk a few steps. Then the doctor showed her how to exercise. The instructions were given with great care and patience. We gathered around with curiosity to learn some useful lessons about care and rehabilitation. It was only then that we saw her up close and personal: she was about 60 years old, well maintained, a veteran beauty, needless to say. She was a very well-maintained woman, not to mention a veteran beauty. She still has her charm, and despite a few hours of surgery, she didn't feel haggard at all. The first thing she did when she woke up was to powder her pretty face and put lipstick on her lips. Her beauty touched us as a couple, and my wife whispered to me, "This big sister is indeed beautiful!" However, the son and daughter-in-law of the elder sister stayed aside, but for this sister's action is anxious, and hastened to stop, "You are here to hospitalization for surgery, but not to travel." Her son beamed and sulked a bit.
With her son and daughter-in-law's exchange, we learned that the next bed patient sister is also a knee osteoarthritis replacement surgery. By the next morning, she was able to walk to the door of the ward on her own with the help of a four-legged cane. Her son didn't want her to walk that much, or she would have been able to walk even farther. When I looked at her, I said "stride forward" and she suddenly burst out laughing. This elder sister also employs caregivers to help her. Nurses are mainly responsible for helping to push patients into the operating room, picking up patients to their beds, pushing patients to take pictures, helping patients to turn over, washing their hair, taking a bath, waiting for them to urinate and defecate, calling nurses and other miscellaneous work. The patient's sister, a native of the provincial capital, likes to say the mantra "I have money." She likes to travel and is said to be the only person in the world who has never been to Africa. She is also a "donkey lover". She also asked you with pride, "Do you know what it means to be a donkey?"
When she said, "I'm rich," her daughter-in-law, who was standing on the sidelines, hastened to add, "It's not really rich, it's her mantra." This patient's elder sister likes square dancing and is very active. From her son's words, he vaguely stated certain reasons for her bad knee. It seems to me that the cause of the disease may not be traveling and square dancing, but it is true that self-care for the body is vital. She was discharged from the hospital this afternoon, the fourth day after her surgery. After she was discharged, in the hospital room, it was just me, my wife and another patient left. The small room was silent, and she was able to take a long, sweet and restful sleep when she returned home. And the ward, too, now seemed rare and quiet, and I hoped that we would sleep well tonight as well.

Another patient in the next room is a middle-aged man of medium build, a young man of about forty. The first time I saw the car, I saw the car, I saw the car, I saw the car. He was also operated on Thursday afternoon. He was able to walk the next day. Before the surgery, his feet were very long and short, but after the surgery, his feet are almost the same length. His chief physician, Dr. Li, came to the ward to see him almost every day, and, every time he came, he told him to walk, and Dr. Li took videos for him and posted them in the public number. Seeing the patient recovering day by day, Dr. Li sees and is happy. Dr. Li said, "Our prestige is in his legs." Every time Dr. Li posts a video, he wants our help in forwarding and liking it. When the patient recovers, the doctor has a full sense of accomplishment. It is enough to see Dr. Li's sense of responsibility, his unfailing concern for his patients, and his full of love. From these details, we see a good doctor-patient relationship, see the doctor-patient relationship of sincerity and purity.
The patient next door, his wife also works in the first attached, is a guide, there is no way to take time off to do escort, he also called the nurse to help. The first thing you need to do is to ask the nurse to help you, and then you can ask her to help you. Why? The best way is for hospitals to package their services. However, this may not be possible at present. If the hospital packages its services, the patient is bound to pay more. As the wool grows on the sheep, the cost of treatment will have to go up. According to the patient's needs, the patient himself decided to hire a caregiver, or better.
The patient next door, recovered quickly. But it's not that fast. Because we still need to culture the bacteria, test the type of bacteria, and then prescribe the right medicine to kill the bacteria in the femoral head. After the trauma is treated and the bacteria are eradicated, the patient can be discharged from the hospital. This patient is also from the provincial capital, not far from the hospital. His mom, his son and daughter all came to visit him. After coming for a while, he was called back.

At noon, we went to eat lunch. When I came back, I found a young woman in the elevator room, inserting business cards into the slits in the four walls of the elevator. I was curious to look at her, and she took the opportunity to promote the "drip chip". We said, "No, no, no." When we got off the elevator, she also got off the elevator, because this elevator only goes to the 19th floor. In the passageway of the elevator, she skillfully slipped business cards into various gaps on the wall. The door to the stairway was also guarded by a nurse, so I don't know how she got in. Soon after we arrived at the hospital room, she went "door-to-door" to sell and distribute business cards. I was standing by the bedside when she came back. I told her that I had just done that. She then said, "Karma."
In the afternoon, another young man came to the hospital room, also distributing business cards for "Water Drops". The people in the ward are talking about it, and they think it has been commercialized. If so many people came to distribute business cards, the profit must be substantial, otherwise, who would have such a big incentive. This young man said, "The patients own the money raised by drip-funding, and their salaries are paid by the insurance company." From a philosophical point of view, "The true picture is never known."
Then there was a lot of talk: drip-funding should be for the very few, especially the very poor. By extension, it is too generalized. In this way, the public's compassion is gradually worn out, drip fundraising will lose its true nature. Some people's family economic level is okay, but also operate the drip chip, to ask for money from the community, really should not be.

At noon on July 20, Tuesday, about 1:20, the operating room bed car came to the door of the ward to pick up the patient. We hurriedly took the CT films with us, and my wife immediately laid down on the bed cart and set off for the operating room. The operating room was on the fifth floor. The family waited in the waiting room hall. There are 50 to 60 seats in rows at the front and back of the hall. When we went there, it was almost full. There were people sitting, standing, and wandering back and forth. There was a great deal of noise and clamor, as if a large classroom was in the midst of a heated discussion during recess. For some reason, the monitors in the lobby of the waiting room were not working. The loudspeaker called the patient's family to go to the "consultation room", and the sound of the loudspeaker was very hoarse. Only the name of the loved one could be heard clearly by the family. For the hospital, perhaps this is enough.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the loudspeaker sounded again, calling out my wife's name, and as a family member, I rushed to the consultation room. A nurse, armed with a full white coat, showed me a 4A sheet of paperwork about anesthesia. I skimmed through it and wrote down "consent to anesthesia". I signed my name and signed for my wife. I don't remember what the paperwork said, except that it said there were risks associated with anesthesia, and by signing it, I was accepting responsibility for the risks. I skimmed through the paperwork for a very short time for fear of delaying the precious time of the surgery. When a patient comes to the hospital, he or she is putting his or her life in the hands of the doctors and nurses. Why do we come from a long way to the provincial capital, is that we trust the provincial hospital more, believe that the medical resources here are more quality.
Anxiously waiting in the hall outside the operating room, from time to time to launch the surgery is good for the patient. Adults are okay, quiet and powerless lying on the trolley, let people push forward and back. Witnessed two children patients, crying out, two hands and two feet up and down struggle against. The family members are beside, dry anxious can not calm him. I know that's when the anesthesia subsides and the pain hits.
The whole hall is crowded with standing family members, and the passage is surrounded by a tight circle. A doctor-like person came out, forced not to lose his temper, snapped, "All go to the seat to sit, can not be crowded in the aisle. Call out your name before you come to pick up." Visible, the patient's family members are anxious, pawing at the toe to hope. The whole hall is noisy, the families waiting outside the operating room, each looking forward to their loved ones safe and smooth, early out of the operating room.
Every time the door to the operating room opened, everyone stretched their necks to look inside. At 4:30 p.m., the door opened again, the nurse shouted his wife's name and asked if the family had come. I hurriedly and quickly ran into the gate. Dr. Zhang said with a joyful heart, "The operation was successful and went well, and the foot was able to straighten out." I clasped Dr. Zhang's hand and thanked him profusely. By the time 6:30 p.m., the nurse pushed his wife to her hospital room, the operation was a complete success.

When my wife was pushed back to her hospital room, I relayed what Dr. Zhang said to my wife, who had just come out of the haze of anesthesia and was moved to tears. We both bathed in the sunshine of Dr. Zhang's kindness again, and the hot current of gratitude swept through our hearts once again. Dr. Zhang's easy-going and kind image is growing in our hearts.

Dr. Zhang still has many, many circles of light on his head, but he still retains a kind and pure heart and always smiles at his patients.
