Patient: description of disease (onset time, main symptoms, hospital, etc.): October 30 CT imaging for lumbar disc herniation, manifested in the lumbar region to the left lower extremity radiating pain. In the past, taking painkillers worked, but now the effect of the medicine is getting worse and worse. The pain is unbearable. In Jinchang Hospital, we have done traction and local sealing for more than ten times, and in 100 hospitals, we have done a small knife treatment, and we have been taking painkillers. The efficacy of the treatment is not significant, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The pain is aggravated by cold weather. Is surgery the only option for me? Is surgery the only option for me? Is it possible that there is something else wrong with me? Zhou Xiaozhong: your condition can not be simple to determine, please come to the hospital outpatient registration check it, my clinic stop time details see my personal website home page. Patient: Thank you! I have booked an MRI appointment at your hospital, and will contact you after I have the MRI results on January 2nd. My idea, if my symptoms are suitable for minimally invasive surgery, I hope to do it nearby, so that the pain of the New Year can not be peaceful ah! Can I make an appointment with you on Thursday, January 6? Zhou Xiaozhong: Yes, you can come on January 6 at about 10:30 a.m. If you can’t get an appointment, you can talk to the nurses at the orthopedic outpatient triage desk and let them come in to help you make up an additional number. Patient: Thank you very much! Patient: In addition, I read your article, there is an introduction called plasma radiofrequency ablation of the nucleus pulposus. Am I no longer suitable for treatment? Zhou Xiaozhong: You 17th morning before 8:00 to it, do not eat how things in the morning, so that you can draw blood checks. Try to operate on the 19th. You can be discharged about a week after the operation, get up about 1-2 weeks after the operation, and it takes 2-3 months to go to work. You’re not a good candidate for plasma ablation, but you can try it, it’s just more expensive and may not work as well as you think, but the hospital stay is short and less invasive. I’ll talk to you when I get there. Patient: Hello Dr. Zhou, I’m coming to see the clinic on Thursday, and you gave me a plan for MED, because I may be a few days late because of the holiday and escort issues. I have to wait for my wife to come over, and I have to arrange my vacation. The plan is to go to the inpatient unit around the 15th for a bed appointment. If possible it would be best to have the surgery before the 20th so I can walk in the New Year. About how long do I need to be off work? Work is not physical labor. Everything please! Patient: Hello Director Zhou, I would like to ask if I should come directly to the inpatient department to see you on the morning of the 17th? Do I still need to make a bed appointment? Please! Patient: my phone 1386205*** Wang ** Patient: I’d better go to the inpatient department first appointment on Sunday. The hospitalization certificate you issued to me on the 6th will work, right? Zhou Xiaozhong: 8:00 or so take the hospitalization bill directly to the first floor of the ward building to do procedures. If you don’t have an inpatient certificate, find a general outpatient doctor to write one or find me on Thursday. Patient: Hello Dr. Zhou, I’m sorry, but I can’t come to the hospital until tomorrow morning, the 18th. Please arrange a time for me to come in tomorrow morning, the 18th. Thank you! Patient: And the most concerned thing, you are the main knife, right? So my friends have advised me to look for the best doctor in the best hospital for this surgery. Zhou Xiaozhong: live in our hospital, the operation is certainly I do, but I’m certainly not the best doctor, our hospital is not the best hospital, but also please consider carefully, I suggest that you also look for other doctors to see. If it’s not a question of disease, please don’t ask more questions online, ask at the clinic. Patient: Thank you for your tireless answer. I came on time on the 17th to check in for hospitalization. Patient: Hello, Director Zhou! I had surgery on the afternoon of the 20th and was discharged on the 24th. So far, I feel good, the wound has been basically healed, the previous symptoms have basically disappeared, generally speaking, very satisfied, but also eliminated all the previous concerns. I would like to sincerely thank you for your art, which has changed my life. Yesterday, I took off the bandage and took a shower. Currently, I feel only a little bit of weakness in my lower back and left lower limb, which should be normal. In addition, there is a little bit of swelling near the wound, but there is no pressure and pain and no color abnormality; there are also many matters about the current stage and later rehabilitation exercise methods, I would like to come to see your clinic tomorrow, Monday afternoon. Zhou Xiaozhong: First of all, thank you for your trust in me and thank you letter, as a doctor, this is the happiest thing in the year before me. I can come over tomorrow afternoon to guide your rehabilitation training.
