The man with gout continued to drink despite his family's repeated dissuasion, and regretted it when he was lying on the operating table

A few days ago, an orthopedic surgery shocked everyone in the operating room. The reason was that this surgery was not only a little disgusting, but also shocking enough.

The day before the operation, Dr. Liu, who was in charge of anesthesia, did not think much about it after reading the medical records.

In addition to the abnormally high uric acid level, the only abnormality was liver function, which generally had little impact on a minor surgery like a foot tumor.

The reason why the impact is not significant is that such surgery can be performed with nerve block anesthesia. With the support of modern equipment such as ultrasound, there is almost no need to worry about poor anesthesia effects.

However, when the patient entered the operating room, Dr. Liu's mind could not help but think quickly: What is this thing? What is the orthopedic surgeon going to do?

The reason for this is that it concerns whether the nerve block anesthesia is sufficient to complete the operation. If the orthopedic surgery is too large, the nerve block may not be enough.

After the orthopedic surgeon confirmed that only a small incision was needed, Dr. Liu began to anesthetize the patient.

After anesthesia takes effect, the orthopedic surgery begins.

However, when the blade cut open the "swelling" next to the patient's toe, everyone exclaimed in their hearts: Oh my God, this is scary!

The reason why it caused such a big shock was that a large amount of bean dregs or gypsum-like substance almost gushed out from the knife edge.

Some people couldn't help but say that they had seen tophi, but never such big ones.

The orthopedic surgeon jokingly said: Even so, he still insists on drinking it! How many times have the family members advised him not to drink it?

Dr. Liu quickly signaled to the orthopedic surgeon: The patient is not asleep and can hear you!

Seeing this, the orthopedic surgeon awkwardly took back what he was about to say.

Seeing such patients sometimes makes people hate them: such a big tophi! They didn’t come to the hospital until they couldn’t wear shoes. The key is that they didn’t listen to advice and kept drinking!

Scientific research shows that the occurrence of gout is closely related to drinking!

This is because gout is a disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism, which leads to increased uric acid in the blood. Excessive drinking often affects the excretion of uric acid.

In addition, eating high-purine foods such as seafood, meat, hot pot, etc. while drinking will cause gout attacks.

However, what is even more frustrating is that he allegedly asked Dr. Liu: When can I drink alcohol after being discharged from the hospital?

Doctor Liu suppressed his emotions and said: You can't drink anymore, this disease is related to long-term and heavy drinking!

The patient felt that the doctor was a little cold, so he didn't dare ask any more questions.

When he was leaving the operating room, Dr. Liu told the family: You must find a way to get him to stop drinking. If he keeps drinking like this, no one can save him!

Here I would like to remind everyone: Don’t believe those words like “it’s okay to drink liquor” or “it’s okay to drink less”, those are just words from alcoholics!
