Chapter 373: When Parents Are Still Alive, Don’t Travel Far Away

Once the value of gratitude is gone, you can earn it again, but the ability to write papers is the ability that all doctors dream of!

Lu Chen is now filled with the desire to write.

His project design and preliminary preparations have been completed.

What we need to do now is to conduct specific experiments!

Lu Chen knew the limitations of his experiment. The sample size was too small and he could only publish one SCI paper of good quality.

If you want to truly write a paper that has great influence and even changes clinical guidelines, various resources such as manpower, material resources, and money are indispensable.

Moreover, to conduct multi-center clinical experimental research, the cooperation of other hospitals is required.

With Lu Chen's current strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to do this!

"Now there is no need to think about changing clinical guidelines. First, set a small goal for yourself, use a small sample size, and publish an article with a 5-point SCI!"

Set a small goal for yourself first!

Lu Chen had a plan in mind and immediately started taking action.

He contacted Ke Yue and her roommate.

The three of them officially started the first step of the experiment, screening patients for clinical trials!

Lu Chen estimated some of the resources he currently had, as well as some of the resources promised by instructor Li Yao.

In addition, Wang Ruoxi had promised to give him a discount on medicine.

Even so, he could only withstand experimental samples from forty patients at most.

If the number of experimental patients increases, Lu Chen's resources will be unable to bear it.

"This is good, as we can produce a paper in the shortest possible time!"

Lu Chen calculated in his mind that from the beginning to the end of the experiment, the entire process would only take six months.

In six months, an SCI paper was produced.

In the field of clinical research, the speed is already quite fast.

Of course, this also excludes those who plagiarize papers and falsify data.

Currently, Lu Chen is focusing on both clinical practice and scientific research.

Only in this way can we enrich ourselves to the greatest extent.

…

In the afternoon, Lu Chen came to the endocrinology area.

He looked at the patient with acute pancreatitis.

After applying relevant measures to treat acute pancreatitis, his health value has become 56 (+)!

The minus sign has turned into a plus sign.

Because it was only mild acute pancreatitis, the patient's vitality also increased slightly.

The patient no longer complained about abdominal distension, and everything was moving in a good direction.

"Lu Chen, I heard that you diagnosed a patient with acute pancreatitis this morning?" Min Ling walked into the office.

Lu Chen scratched the back of his head, smiled, and said, "Teacher Min, I'm just lucky."

"This is not something that can be discovered by luck. I saw that CT picture. Most people can't find problems with the pancreas." Min Ling said with a smile. She really likes Lu Chen as a student and has never encountered it so far. There are no students like Lu Chen who have solid basic clinical knowledge and proficient clinical skills.

Director Cui of Gu Xinyue's team also received news in the afternoon that a patient in his care bed was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis.

He made a special trip back to the department.

"Oh, I have to take care of so many patients, and the quality of patient management has also deteriorated a lot!" Director Cui smiled helplessly.

Endocrinology has a high patient turnover rate.

Every day, more than a dozen patients are discharged from the hospital and more than a dozen are newly admitted.

In this high-intensity work environment, mistakes are inevitable.

…

Although he is very busy clinically, Lu Chen enjoys his working time in the department.

The process of diagnosing patients is actually a process of detective exploring the case and peeling off the cocoons to explore the case.

Finally diagnosing the disease and relieving the patient's pain is a sense of accomplishment that cannot be given by other professions.

In fact, Lu Chen's ideal is very simple, just to be a good doctor.

Now, he is on this road, working hard to move forward.

"Lu Chen, bed 21 always says that her stomach is uncomfortable. You should go and have a look." The nurse on duty walked into the office and said.

"Okay, I'll be here soon." Lu Chen nodded.

Because of what he had learned from this patient this morning, Lu Chen did not dare to relax.

…

Lu Chen came to the bedside.

The patient in bed 21 is a 76-year-old male patient.

Previous medical history of diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease.

This time, because my blood sugar was not well controlled at home, I was hospitalized to have my blood sugar adjusted.

"Uncle, do you feel sick in your stomach?" Lu Chen smiled and picked up the patient's insulin injection dosage card.

The patient is currently using a treatment plan of three short and one long treatment.

That is, use short-acting insulin before three meals and long-acting insulin before going to bed.

"Yeah, it's been a while." The uncle lay on the bed and nodded slightly.

Beside the hospital bed, an old woman was looking after him, but the old man's children were not seen.

"Uncle, let me check you first."

Lu Chen asked the uncle to lie flat on the bed, and lifted up the uncle's clothes to expose the skin on his abdomen.

Just unbutton the patient's clothes.

Lu Chen saw that there seemed to be two lumps on both sides of the uncle's abdomen and around the belly button, and there was pigmentation.

Lu Chen put on gloves and gently pressed the lump.

"Uncle, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." The uncle shook his head.

Lu Chen took another careful look and said with a smile, "Master, it's nothing. You don't have to worry."

In Lu Chen's eyes, the uncle's health value was 65, and after the value, there was a blank space.

This also means that the trend of the old man's life value change is zero, and there is no serious disease or progression of the disease.

"Little doctor...I, is my lump okay?" The old man still asked with some concern. He was afraid that it was some tumor.

If he had a tumor, he would not want to treat it at his age.

"No problem." Lu Chen restored the old man's clothes and said loudly, "You may have to change the place to inject insulin in the future. Don't always inject the two points around the belly button."

When Lu Chen saw the two lumps around the old man's belly button, his first reaction was that it was insulin-mediated fat hyperplasia.

He also understood why the old man's blood sugar fluctuated so much recently!

To put it bluntly, UU reading www.uｕkanshu.net is an insulin needle, which is injected in one place for a long time.

The skin in this range will be repeatedly traumatized, and insulin will metabolize fat, leading to fat hyperplasia.

After fat hyperplasia, the absorption of insulin in this part is affected, which is not conducive to the stability of blood sugar.

"Uncle, you can change to inject insulin on your arm." Lu Chen said.

The old man smiled helplessly: "Alas, I know I have to change the place, but it's not easy to do it on my arm. My wife's eyesight is not good, so she can't give me the injection, and both children are not at home. I have no choice but to give it around my belly button. I have been giving it here for more than ten years."

No wonder the two lumps around the old man's belly button have grown so big!

The boss's eyesight is not good, and the children are not at home, so the old man can only inject insulin into his belly.

Lu Chen sighed slightly in his heart. It is still very reasonable to stay at home while your parents are still alive.
