Not every time you get sick, you need infusion. The principle of medication advocated by the World Health Organization is [no injection if you can take it orally, no intravenous injection if you can inject it intramuscularly].

Teach you how to dial 120 correctly

Emergency phone 120, Many people know this number. Dial 120 is the easiest and quickest way to call for help to the emergency center. The emergency department of the hospital is open 24 hours a day, After receiving the assignment from the 120 center, it is necessary to drive, even if it is a fake case reported by boring drunks.

How to be a [good] patient?

I wonder if everyone will be very nervous when seeing a doctor. I was so nervous that I didn’t know what to say to the doctor about what. I turned into a doctor’s question and I answered. Sometimes I forget to tell the doctor about some special circumstances. Inquiry is an essential link when seeing a doctor. Only by asking can doctors have a general understanding of the patient’s situation, and then cooperate with examination and other means to make diagnosis and prescribe drugs. Because doctors receive too many patients every day, they may not be able to inquire about their condition in detail. At this time, patients can take the initiative to inform them. It is very helpful to Read More …

The common medical mistakes in those movies

1. Non-key characters in the movie all die too fast. If you are shot in the trunk, stabbed in the stomach and wiped out your neck, you will not be able to move immediately. If this is the case, many people in reality do not need to be rescued. In fact? Death from trauma is a rather tangled process. The only injuries that can really make people stiff immediately are those that hurt the brain or spinal cord, such as head shots, beheadings and spinal cord amputations (hanging, twisting the neck). As for neck wiping, the trachea and carotid artery are seriously injured. Even if one cannot breathe, one will not die immediately. Otherwise, how can we hold our breath? Read More …

Never sprinkle salt on the wound.

Today, I saw a piece of news on a popular microblog: A mother sprinkled salt on the wound of her one-year-old daughter who had just been scalded by boiling water because she heard that saline can diminish inflammation. As a result, the doctor gave her a notice of critical illness. According to netizens’ comments, when I was a child, my mother sprinkled salt, vinegar, soy sauce, flour, garlic and sesame oil on my scalds. It sounds like garlic mashed white meat instead of treating scalds. There are also people who apply toothpaste and soap, which are all unreliable methods for scalding. Why can’t salt be sprinkled? People will say that hospitals often use saline to clean wounds? But the hospital Read More …
