Today a patient in his 50’s was standing in the doorway, slightly agitated, while I was seeing someone else. It was his turn to be seen, still a stack of imaging tests
The patient was still on a stack of imaging tests, cranial CTMRI ultrasound, labs, and previous medication base prescriptions. I still do not look at all first, let the patient to tell their main discomfort: right upper limb numbness, gradually involving the right fingers, left leg numbness, left face sometimes pain, chest tightness, poor sleep, early awakening and other phenomena. Did you have any problems with previous tests? No. Then I asked if there was any anxiety or anger. Next to my daughter finally couldn’t hold it in, my mother left after this. Gone? What disease? The man’s eyes suddenly red, want to say, and then stammered, and finally swallowed and said that she left with someone else. The youngest daughter was also taken away. Once a happy family, but the man is just a sanitation worker, raised three daughters, the wife has been off work, did not expect the wife eventually abandoned them. It is said that men have tears do not play lightly, this uncle is a bitter hard to say ah, the result of the accumulation of depression into a full-body discomfort. My advice first, receive the current reality. Second, adjust your mind to work well to raise two daughters in college. Third, exercise every day for an hour each morning and evening. Fourth, do not go around to the doctor, spend a lot of money is actually fine. Fifth, a little to improve the anxiety of the drug. I hope he will be better at the next follow-up.
