The treatment journey of a woman weighing 24 kg (conclusion)

The patient’s recovery was very smooth after the operation due to adequate preoperative preparations, rigorous intraoperative operations, and attentive care by the medical and nursing staff. On the first day after surgery, the patient was able to move around in bed and had a bowel movement the next day. Because the distal small intestine and large intestine had been left open for more than half a year, the intestinal flora was out of balance, and it was normal to have dilute stools a dozen times a day. The patient was able to walk freely and move around easily in the hospital area. As her condition gradually improved, the patient’s mental state was greatly improved and a rare smile appeared on her gloomy face, and doctors, nurses and family members prayed for her blessing. On the eighth day after surgery, the stitches were removed and she was told that her treatment in the hospital was basically over and that she could be discharged home tomorrow. The patient’s heart was so happy, and the long-lost laughter from the whole family chatting was also infected around her. On the ninth day after the operation, the patient was discharged with many thanks. We left a banner from the family and had a photo with the patient for the first time in our lives. (Postscript): The treatment of a complex and difficult patient reflects the comprehensive strength of a hospital. In the current medical environment, hospitals tend to focus on performance evaluation. Patients like this one, with long hospital stays, high drug costs and uncertain treatment outcomes, have a direct impact on bed-day turnover, drug ratios and cure rates. Sometimes it’s simply because you’re a surgeon, the patient trusts you, and the responsibility is on your shoulders. Thanks again to the collaboration of the relevant departments and especially to the nursing and anesthesia colleagues. The content of this picture is with the consent of the patient. We wish you peace, health and happiness.
