BXBX NOVEL Chapter 323 - 323 Did You Eat Before the General Anesthesia-Surgery?
Boss Mei immediately remembered what happened since it just happened yesterday, coupled with Chen Yu’s clear guidance.
About a month ago, Boss Mei began feeling faint pain in his stomach.
Under his wife’s suggestion, he underwent a complete body checkup at the hospital.
The results of the examination showed that there was a problem with his appendix. It was a common chronic appendicitis.
“I’m a carefree person. I didn’t think much of it at that time.”
“If my wife didn’t feel that something was wrong and dragged me to the hospital for a check-up, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
“The doctor said that although appendicitis is a common condition, if it’s not treated properly, it can be life-threatening.”
“It’ll be really troublesome once it ruptures.”
“The doctor gave me local anesthesia, but I’m super afraid of pain.”
“After a few days of consideration, 1 told the doctor yesterday to perform the surgery under general anesthesia.”
“Since it’s confirmed that I’m going to undergo general anesthesia, the doctor told me that 1 can’t eat or drink for six to eight hours before the surgery.”
The case was solved!
The viewers in the livestream had already learned how to answer the questions sent in their comments.
It was not that there were no cases of patients dying during appendectomy, but the probability of death was extremely low.
When they heard the word general anesthesia, many viewers believed that Boss Mei definitely did not follow the doctor’s advice.
He definitely ate or drank before the surgery.
Some medical students and working doctors sent comments to explain the situation.
A few hours before the general anesthesia surgery, the patient had to follow the doctor’s advice strictly.
You must not eat or drink, or your life will be in danger.
If the surgery was carried out with food residue or water in the stomach, there might be a risk of aspiration.
During general anesthesia, a person cannot control their body’s reaction.
Once there was food reversal, it would cause aspiration pneumonia, followed by nausea and vomiting.
If excrement blocked the windpipe, the patient’s life would be in danger.
When Chen Yu said that he almost lost his life, he should be referring to the problem in that aspect.
“No, no, no. I didn’t eat or drink anything before the surgery.”
“I’m not stupid. How could I disobey the doctor’s orders?”
Boss Mei shook his head repeatedly when he read the chat.
“Dear patient,” Chen Yu asked abruptly, “is durian delicious?”
“Delicious.”
“The most delicious fruit in the world is durian,” said Boss Mei without hesitation.
“Once, 1 ate more than ten pounds of durian meat alone. I didn’t feel bloated at all, nor did 1 feel sick of it.”
“That time was really enjoyable.”
Speaking of this, Boss Mei sighed.
“I don’t know why my wife doesn’t like to eat durians, the king of fruits.”
“She can’t even stand smelling it.”
“After I got married, I only dared to eat them outside. I never dared to bring this thing home.”
“Every time 1 eat durian outside, I have to take a shower to wash off the smell on my body and brush my teeth many times.”
“My wife will only let me in if I promise that I don’t smell like durian at all.”
The viewers burst into laughter for being a henpecked husband.
“Did you have a good meal this morning?” Chen Yu asked with a smile.
“It was satisfying.”
Boss Mei nodded with a smile.
“Doctor: Did you eat before the surgery? Patient: I didn’t eat anything, but 1 ate some fruits.”
“My dad is very stubborn. The doctor didn’t let him eat or drink anything before the surgery. My dad drank a few mouthfuls of wine, got on the operating table, and went straight to the ICU.”
“Different family, same stubborn old father.”
“Your father’s understanding has opened the door to a new world for me. It turns out that not eating or drinking doesn’t mean that I can’t drink alcohol. LMAO.”
“My teacher once gave us a lesson. He said that there were more than ten cases of aspiration due to eating before general anesthesia. It would take at most a year to cure them.”
“I drank a bottle of fruit juice before the surgery, and it delayed the surgery for a few days. It was so painful that I wanted to die.”
“Most doctors thought their patients could understand them if they said that they couldn’t eat or drink, but many people don’t. They think that not eating or drinking doesn’t mean that they can’t drink alcohol or eat fruits.”
Many viewers with similar experiences immediately realized that Boss Mei had made an obvious cognitive error.
Perhaps, in his opinion, durian was a fruit and not taboo before surgery.
“Ah…”
Boss Mei opened his mouth in shock.
“So fruits can’t be eaten either.”
“What do you think?”
Chen Yu held his forehead and sighed.
The viewers laughed when they saw this.
It turned out that Chen Yu also had times when he felt helpless.
After recollecting, other than the last time, the idol-wannabe trainee who had just started singing and dancing, this was the second time Chen Yu revealed such an expression.
“Dr. Chen, don’t be like this. I really didn’t know that the doctor said that you can’t eat or drink, and that includes fruits.”
“I promise I won’t do it again.”
“You must be angry because of me. How about this? I’ll give you another five carnival gifts.”
Boss Mei kept his word and rewarded him with another five carnival gifts.
“Everyone, don’t laugh at me. I’m not a well-educated person.”
“I grew up in a poor family and went to work at a construction site at the age of seventeen.”
“I’ve been a carpenter for 20 years. It wasn’t until three years ago that I realized financial freedom.”
“Back then, 1 wanted to eat something but couldn’t bear to buy it. Durian is one of them.”
“When I saw a big durian in the fridge at home, I couldn’t care less about anything else.”
“Since my wife wasn’t at home, I quickly feasted on it.”
“The doctor said that I can’t eat food. I don’t think durian counts as food, so I didn’t take it seriously.”
“Who knew that eating it before the surgery might kill me?”
When the chat heard that Boss Mei was not born rich and had worked as a carpenter for over 20 years, many viewers felt that he was bragging.
After working as a carpenter for over 20 years, how could he achieve wealth and freedom?
Did he really think that no carpenters were watching the livestream?
“Tsk!”
Meng Dahai, a psychological treatment room staff member who was watching Chen Yu’s livestream, clicked his tongue disdainfully.
Before meeting Chen Yu, the dignified direct descendant of the Luban technique was so poor that he was about to sell his blood.
The fact that someone dared say that being a carpenter could bring about wealth and freedom—even ghosts wouldn’t be fooled like this.
“This patient has indeed achieved financial freedom,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “His personal assets are roughly over loo million yuan.”
“But it has nothing to do with his job.”
“Three years ago, his house was relocated. Together with the land compensation, he received a total of 120 million yuan.”
Comments flooded in.
So it was this kind of financial freedom…
Countless lemon emojis flooded the screen.
“Dr. Chen is right. My wealth and freedom are indeed obtained through demolition.”
Boss Mei managed to humble brag one last time before he prepared to leave.
The surgery was postponed to tomorrow, so he had to rest early today.
He also emptied his stomach and did not dare to eat anymore.
“Don’t you want to know why your wife wants to kill you?”
