This disease is regarded as one of the most terrifying acute ergencies in ophthalmology, with very limited dical ans to treat it.
By comparing the treatnt plan for myocardial infarction to RAO, the treatnt thods and prognosis for RAO don’t emphasize the golden rescue ti like cataracts and other eye diseases. Similar to heart attack treatnt, it’s crucial to seize the limited rescue window; once the timing is missed, the prognosis is unimaginable, worse than a heart attack.
The reason is that the diater of the retinal arteries is much smaller than the coronary arteries, and humans have not yet broken through material limits to stent such tiny obstructed vessels as in heart attack treatnt. If only relying on thrombolytic drugs for treatnt, the emboli causing RAO may not just be ordinary thrombi but can be fat, tumor, calcification emboli, or drug emboli of various types, which may not respond to thrombolytic dications.
Doctor Hu, being a doctor, knew the severity when the symptoms occurred and imdiately went to ophthalmology for treatnt. The tily rescue preserved so of her vision, preventing imdiate blindness; however, she experienced the rare occurrence of both eyes being affected, with special emboli and general dication effects. The ophthalmologist concluded that even though her case received relatively tily treatnt, due to the persistent presence of emboli, as long as any careless move occurs, her retinal cells will continue to necrotize.
Even being a doctor knowing these matters, she couldn’t save herself; she isn’t far from total blindness.
Doctors are human, possessing the sa seven emotions and six desires as ordinary people. During this period, she didn’t want to reveal her condition too early, but wanted to remain at her work position she held for decades before possibly going blind. However, the hospital wouldn’t allow her to linger with her scalpel.
She pledged not to harm patients, yet the hospital didn’t trust her words. The hospital is actually a most cold-blooded and heartless place, emphasizing science and technology but not human emotions. Du Haiwei, being a saint in these circumstances, showed even less human warmth than Doctor Hu.
Aunt Min’s incident indeed dealt her another major blow. That day, she accidentally dropped a paper, thinking it was blown into the hallway, and opened the door to search. Upon opening the door, perhaps due to the wind, the emboli in her left eyeball shifted again, causing her vision to plumt, leaving only blurred images.
She didn’t witness Aunt Min’s episode, only heard a thud, perplexing her as to what had fallen to the ground. Aunt Min’s cries for help were too faint, surely unheard, making her suspect sothing from the ceiling had dropped. By the ti she managed to return to her departnt using her mory to call a nurse to check the corridor, soone already shouted a patient had fainted and needed rescue.
Soone went to rescue, her current state preventing her from assisting, fumbling back to her office, retrieving ergency dications, pressing and rubbing her eyeball, striving to regain so capability in her vision.
Soon, Xie Wanying and her colleagues confronted her, questioning why she hadn’t saved a life.
She never intended to stand by idly, her heart filled with grief, eventually arguing with Xie Wanying and her peers. Actually, she knew she might no longer be suitable for her position, so when the hospital suggested it today, without objection, she imdiately returned ho.
Are Doctor Hu’s eyes truly about to go blind? Shen Xifei felt like sitting on the ground and crying out loud. How did misfortune find her to this degree, finding employnt only to see no hope before even starting?
