Chapter 923 - 464: Death Rate Doubles After Second Stroke, COO’s Advice

Chapter 923: Chapter 464: Death Rate Doubles After Second Stroke, COO’s Advice

"The morning of the 27th!" Facing the police’s persistent questioning, the child’s mother couldn’t hide anymore and had to answer honestly.

Li Jingsheng listened and looked at Siying.

"Siying, check their medical records at our Sunshine Clinic."

"I’ll check right away."

Siying went into the clinic and checked records, coming out just a few minutes later.

"The medical record of their child at our clinic is on the morning of the 26th, which means they saw us first and then went to the hospital for a check-up the next morning."

When Siying looked at the young couple, her eyes were filled with disdain and hostility.

She was inexperienced, not yet stained by the diverse colors of society.

Sometimes, her hatred for evil would be directly written on her face.

Many medical students who are not deeply immersed in society are similar to her.

"Why didn’t you take the child to the hospital for a check-up on the 26th? Didn’t I tell you to take the child to a large hospital immediately for examination?"

Li Jingsheng questioned the family.

"We didn’t expect that night..."

"Don’t talk nonsense!" The man nudged his wife beside him.

"This has nothing to do with the Sunshine Clinic, yet you came here to make a scene. First, remove the things, and come with us to the police station for further investigation. Dr. Li, if it’s convenient, please come with us as well, to help us understand the facts clearly."

The police saw that there were great issues with the family.

It’s not simply about a son dying and wanting justice.

"No problem."

Li Jingsheng was encountering such a disgusting incident for the first time.

The responsibilities that need to be pursued must be pursued.

And make sure these two apologize publicly to make up for the reputational damage caused to the clinic.

At the police station, after further investigation by the police, the truth of the matter quickly surfaced.

This young couple took their child to the Sunshine Clinic on the morning of the 26th, and later Li Jingsheng said their child’s bleeding in the brain wasn’t caused by a fall but possibly a tumor or an aneurysm inside his head.

The child’s father didn’t believe him at all.

He even told his wife not to bother going to the hospital anymore, that the child would naturally recover after a few days of good rest at home.

When the child returned home from the clinic, he indeed appeared normal in all aspects.

He was just not as active as usual.

Then, around four o’clock in the morning on the 27th, their son suddenly screamed in his sleep and then cried out in pain, saying his head hurt.

Not long after, he became unconscious.

The couple panicked and hurriedly took their child to the hospital for diagnosis.

They should have called 120 and gone to the Second Hospital, since it was the closest. But considering Li Jingsheng was also a doctor at the Second Hospital, the man felt Li Jingsheng was unreliable, so the Second Hospital must be unreliable too.

Additionally, the Second Hospital’s reputation was not as notable, far inferior to the People’s Hospital and Qiaobang Hospital.

The man then took a taxi, holding his son and rushed overnight to the nearest Jiangli City Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

They didn’t know that Li Jingsheng was also a teacher at the Medical University.

Though currently just a teaching assistant, he still had some connection with the Affiliated Hospital.

When they brought the child to the hospital, he was already in a coma, without breathing or a heartbeat.

After emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation, his heartbeat was restored.

Then, through further examination, it was found that a small artery in the child’s brain had ruptured and bled. It was likely an aneurysm rupture bleeding.

Because the blood had pressed onto important areas like the brain stem.

Li Jingsheng speculated that the broken blood vessel was likely the posterior cerebral artery.

This was why he believed the child possibly had a cerebral vascular tumor or tumor.

Under normal circumstances, it’s hard to bleed in the depths of the posterior cerebral artery.

The cerebral blood vessel rupture for this child should be secondary hemorrhage.

Based on his clinical experience, the death risk of cerebral vascular bleeding the first time can be around 20%, but the second time, directly can rise to over 40%.

The third time cerebral hemorrhage can rise to over 70% in mortality and disability rates.

Because he was deeply aware of the danger, he reminded the family, even if he was scolded, that they must take the child to a large hospital for further examination and treatment immediately.

Unfortunately, his benevolent advice was not accepted by the family.

They ignorantly thought he was speaking nonsensical ways, trying to scare them and cheat them out of money.

Ultimately, this resulted in a tragedy.

Patients with a history of stroke must be vigilant about the risk of having a second stroke.

It’s extremely wrong to arbitrarily stop taking statins. Never harbor any reckless thoughts.

Stroke, often referred to as cerebrovascular accident.

Due to cerebral blood vessel rupture, causing intracranial bleeding, or cerebral vascular blockage leading to brain ischemia.

Both can result in the severe consequences of a stroke.

The mortality and disability rates of stroke are horrifyingly high.

The majority of patients rescued after the first stroke develop issues like body hemiplegia.

Some patients believe having already had one stroke means there won’t be a second one.

This disease is not like certain viral infections where getting infected once provides immunity.

On the contrary, a patient who has had a stroke once is more likely to have a second stroke after recovery.

As mentioned above, every additional stroke at least doubles the mortality rate.

In fact, some stubborn patients who refuse advice find it hard to survive until a third stroke. They often die after the second stroke or become completely paralyzed and unable to take care of themselves.

This child, due to a fall, experienced intracranial hemorrhage.

The first community health service center that examined the child, perhaps because the family was uncooperative and hard to communicate with, the doctor was reluctant to explain further and let the family take the child home.

Or was it that the doctor was ignorant and failed to diagnose the enormous risk?

Later, after Li Jingsheng received the case, he determined that the child’s intracranial hemorrhage had another cause. This was originally a good thing.

As long as the family heeded the advice, took the child to a big hospital for examination immediately, and then intervened promptly to prevent secondary bleeding, the subsequent tragedy might have been avoided.

The most detestable thing was that the family didn’t listen to his advice, leading to the child’s death.

On the contrary, they even thought about extorting some money from his clinic.

Because their child spent a lot of money during the emergency rescue at the Affiliated Hospital.

This hole was huge.

The police asked the couple why, when Sunshine Clinic kindly reminded them to get checked and the diagnosis given was correct, they still wanted to extort money from them? Even if seeking compensation, it would be reasonable to look for the Affiliated Hospital.

Their answer was truly out of this world.

Because they felt that Sunshine Clinic had a good business and must have made a lot of money. It’s easier to deal with a small clinic.

Big hospitals have security and strong capabilities, making them harder to handle.

They heard that as long as you make a fuss at a clinic, you can easily get tens of thousands. As long as you don’t extort too much, clinics will generally pay to avoid trouble.

Their answers fully reflected the evil of human nature.

The word "conscience" simply doesn’t exist in their world.

For such people, Li Jingsheng had no sympathy, he would deal with it as necessary.

Returning to the clinic to calm the staff, he then hurried back to the second hospital to continue seeing patients. Not for anything else, but because many of those with bone injuries and diseases came from families who took the time, even traveling hundreds or thousands of miles, specifically for his treatment.

Not treating them would give him a heavy sense of guilt.

...

This medical disturbance incident passed quickly.

Li Jingsheng demanded 100,000 yuan in economic loss compensation from the two troublemaking family members. Of course, this amount was given by a lawyer.

Under normal circumstances, the court doesn’t award exactly the amount claimed, but offers a discount.

It’s estimated that if they get around fifty thousand, it would be considered very good.

The goal of the claim for Li Jingsheng wasn’t the money but to set an example to prevent others from causing trouble at the clinic.

Whether running a clinic or a hospital, the most dreaded thing nowadays is medical disturbances.

There are always some people who, for profit, take risks.

The more popular the medical institution, the higher the frequency of medical disturbance incidents.

Facilities like People’s Hospital and Qiaobang Hospital, their offices and mediation rooms receive an unbelievably high number of visitors daily.

This is already after some purification of the medical atmosphere.

A few years ago, some gangs made a fortune relying on this, moving around the country as a full team, committing acts everywhere.

A corrupted human heart is the greatest sorrow of society.

After this medical disturbance incident, Li Jingsheng’s clinic quickly calmed down.

That day, while Li Jingsheng was having lunch in the clinic’s office, the operation officer Wen Tianqi came over.

"Boss, there’s something I want to bring to your attention."

Wen Tianqi is considered the freest employee at Sunshine Clinic.

Li Jingsheng values his talent very much.

Also aware of his health issues, Jingsheng never puts work pressure on him, giving him as much freedom as possible.

Of course, Wen Tianqi did not disappoint. Under his operation, the online drug sales business has been soaring.

Now the monthly sales are astonishing.

Sunshine Clinic was just an inconspicuous small client, and in less than a year, it directly leaped to become a super customer of Best Medicine, which owes much to Wen Tianqi.

"Tianqi, feel free to speak."

"I don’t know if you’ve noticed, since the last medical disturbance incident, recently, from time to time, someone has been stirring up negative news about Sunshine Clinic and you personally. I feel this is not so simple."

Wen Tianqi said seriously.

As an operation officer, he is extremely sensitive to such public opinion information.

"As long as it doesn’t have a major impact on our clinic, just let it be. People’s mouths are on others, you can’t block them even if you try. The innocent stay innocent, we just need to do our jobs well, that’s enough."

Li Jingsheng knows very well, not to mention such a big clinic.

Even as a person, as long as you deal with others, inevitably, someone will speak ill behind your back.

The more famous, the more controversial.

Sunshine Clinic’s drug sales and treatment services are thriving, and there are plenty of envious and jealous individuals.

But in fear of Li Jingsheng’s status and influence, those jealous ones don’t dare to do much.

"These people deliberately defame Sunshine Clinic and you, this might not be just individual dissatisfaction, but potentially premeditated, organized negative commentary attacks."

Wen Tianqi’s tone was grave and his expression serious.
