The public account that Chengdu people are following

focus on

Frugality is a traditional virtue, but not all thrifty behaviors are worth promoting. Some people hurt their health in order to save a little money, which is putting the cart before the horse and not worth the loss.

Recently, the WeChat official account of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine introduced a case in which a patient suffered a serious infection and kidney failure due to "excessive frugality". He lamented, "I didn't expect that my habit of frugality would cause me to spend so much money on medical treatment!"

Severe infection, kidney failure,

A kitchen habit ruined him!

At the end of June this year, the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine received a 70-year-old Mr. Zhong (pseudonym). Mr. Zhong was lying on the transfer bed, panting and sweating. His limbs were thin and weak, but his belly was bulging.

Gao Yuan, chief physician of the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, combined the examination results and preliminarily diagnosed it as "abdominal compartment syndrome". During the laparotomy, it was found that Mr. Zhong's abdominal cavity was severely infected - not only was there a large amount of light yellow turbid fluid, but there were also multiple intestinal edema and inflammation, gas and fluid accumulation, causing intestinal obstruction. After the doctor's treatment, Mr. Zhong escaped from the "gates of hell", but his kidney function was severely damaged and he would need hemodialysis treatment for the rest of his life.
