physical examination

Text/Peng Shimin

The phone rings...

Hello, hello! Are you Mr. Peng Shimin? I am the Health Management Center of the First People's Hospital of Pingjiang County, and I would like to communicate with you about some physical examinations.

When I received this call, my heart tightened violently, and I couldn't stop jumping! Could it be that something went wrong with the physical examination? I took a deep breath to calm myself as much as possible.

You please say, I'm listening. I replied to her with courtesy.

Your triglycerides are high, fatty liver should be low salt, low fat, low sugar diet, quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat less animal offal, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, usually exercise more, regularly review blood lipids, liver function, liver B ultrasound; your Helicobacter pylori test is positive, it is recommended that you go to see the gastroenterology department, it is best to choose a meal sharing system or public chopsticks...

No other questions, right? I asked her again.

You also have gallbladder polyps and gallstones, which are slightly larger than the results of your physical examination at our health management center in previous years. However, you should not be too nervous, just remember to do regular check-ups, it is recommended to see the hepatobiliary surgery department.

Then, I asked my colleagues, they basically received calls from the health management center, more or less some problems, but overall did not find any serious diseases, which is thankful and happy.

At that time, I thought, if my father is still good, and now the conditions are better, I can take him to a physical examination every year. I still remember the National Day in 2003, I went home on vacation, my mother made a table of dishes, my father sat on the table and said that it was tasteless, moving chopsticks to put the bowl, I asked my father if there was any discomfort in his body, my father said it was okay, it may be too tired, I feel weak. My father had never been to the hospital for a physical examination in his life, and we wanted him to see Langzhong, and he was reluctant to spend money. At my father's insistence, I didn't care too much at the time, and within a month, my brother called and said that my father had found advanced liver cancer. By the time I returned from the army, the hospital had already pronounced a direct sentence on my father's life. On New Year's Day 2004, snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky, and my father's life was like snowflakes, frozen in the cold wind, and he never woke up again.

When people reach middle age, the phenomenon of birth, old age, illness and death like their fathers is seen too much. If it is placed in the age of the fathers, maybe some people will think that this is fate, life and death are fate. At present, people's material living standards have been greatly improved, but the acceleration of the pace of work and life has also led to people's increasing mental pressure. While we strive to pursue material things, we ignore health, and more and more people are in sub-health. In my surroundings, I heard many colleagues and friends saying that a large part of the cause is eating too well, eating out of the disease, to improve self-healing ability, to obtain physical and mental health! In addition to the necessary dietary problems and exercise, there is also a point that you must do the necessary checks on your body often in order to understand your physical condition as soon as possible. Several of my colleagues found out that they had nose cancer, throat cancer and other diseases during the physical examination, and in the past, these diseases are serious diseases, and even can be said to be terminal diseases, because of the early discovery, coupled with the current medical level, they are healthy and alive.

The happiness of life is not limited to the transcendence of eating, wearing, living and walking, but lies in the health of the body, the fullness of life, the quiet beauty of the soul, and the satisfaction of happiness. It is said that childhood is a dream, youth is a song, youth is poetry, prime is an essay, and middle age is a novel. Like me, when people reach middle age, their faces are still full of wrinkles, their hairlines are getting higher and higher, and their physical fitness is not as good as before. Especially my obesity problem, holding a "general" belly, going up and down the stairs are breathless, my wife is nagging every day to lose weight and do more exercise. Nagging a lot, I am very annoyed with her, running through a period of steps, occasionally walking to work, but the persistence of time is not long, smoking is also smoking and quitting, quitting and smoking. Once people reach middle age, there are many things, sometimes people seem bored, career requirements are enterprising, the burden of the family has to be provoked, there are elders on the top, there are children below, and they usually rarely take care of their own bodies. It is not that the unit organized a physical examination, and I did not expect to go to the hospital to check my physical condition.

At present, the unit generally organizes a physical examination once a year, which should be regarded as a kind of welfare for public employees. But there are also people who are afraid to go to the hospital, afraid that if they find out what is good, they will not be able to withstand the blow, so they would rather refuse to know their physical condition than go to the physical examination; some people want to go to the physical examination, see a lot of physical examination items, and do not know how to choose and so on.

In fact, these worries are superfluous, and it is better to check than not to check. In recent years, my friends and colleagues have found some problems in the physical examination, and they have been solved at the first time. If you wait until a small illness becomes a major illness, it will be troublesome to go to the hospital. Spend money not to say, but also toss people. In addition, as for the physical examination, what items to check, the health management center has a full-time staff will give you a choice of packages according to your physical condition.

To be honest, at the beginning, I had these worries. On the first day of going to the health management center for a physical examination, I called my classmates working in the hospital to understand the physical examination procedures and precautions. This is also some homework before the physical examination.

At 8 a.m. the next morning, I arrived at the Health Management Center and got ready to line up.

The health management center is on the 4th floor of the outpatient building of the People's Hospital, and I see that many people have already obtained the physical examination form in their hands and have begun to conduct an orderly physical examination.

After the blood was drawn, a smiling medical examiner greeted me warmly and took me to the ultrasound room. She said: According to the requirements of the fasting physical examination, you first do the liver, gallbladder, spleen and pancreas, and then I will take you to do the Helicobacter pylori examination. After doing both, you can first go to the restaurant next to our medical examination center for breakfast.

She didn't say it was okay, as soon as she said it, I immediately felt hungry in my stomach. Usually get up at 6 o'clock, eat breakfast before 7:30 to go to work, it is now more than 8 o'clock, after doing these two projects is estimated to be almost 9 o'clock. But both of these projects require that you must have an empty stomach, and you have to endure hunger first.

Entering the color ultrasound room, I explained to the doctor that more than ten years ago, I found out that there was gallbladder polyps during the physical examination of the troops, and then the doctor suggested that I have eaten anti-inflammatory choleretic tablets for a period of time, and I want the doctor to help me carefully check the situation of gallbladder polyps.

The female doctor wore a mask and could not see her age, but she was friendly and warm, and the examination was very careful. I heard her assistant say that I seemed to have a stone in my gallbladder, but she tested it many times with the instrument in her hand, and I didn't see any movement in my stone. In order to confirm whether it was a stone, she took me to another ultrasound room, asked another doctor to help me confirm, and finally wrote the results into the medical examination form.

That kind of serious attitude and responsible professionalism, I think it is still worthy of the medical examiner to praise them...

After the Helicobacter pylori test, I was taken by the inspector to the breakfast room they prepared for the medical examiners, although the conditions were somewhat rudimentary, but still hot eggs, buns, porridge, fruits, there were not many varieties, but it was extremely delicious to eat, the stomach was empty, and the meal was particularly delicious. Eggs have the aroma of eggs, steamed bread has the aroma of wheat, porridge has the aroma of rice, the strength of food is the most powerful, as soon as they reach the stomach, they immediately feel that the limbs have a temperature, and the spirit is immediately lifted.

After filling your stomach, the next physical examination is the internal medicine, electrocardiogram, LDCT scan, height, weight, blood pressure and vision. During the period when the "epidemic" was not particularly stable, I felt that the protection work of the health management center was also doing a good job, and the physical examination personnel maintained a distance from each other in addition to scanning the health code, measuring body temperature, and wearing masks, and the hospital disinfection work was also in place to prevent the virus from "invading with the inspection". Such considerations are thoughtful. All those who go to the health management center for physical examination, they are sent to have special medical personnel to do guidance, although there are more people who come to the physical examination, but it is very orderly.

After doing the physical examination, I felt that I was brisk, and when I walked out of the hospital, I did not think about the physical examination again, if I had not received a call from the health management center, I thought that everything would be fine after the physical examination, and then the unit would unify to get a result.

Unexpectedly, the health management center not only called me, but also asked me to go to the health management center, saying that their summary room would personally analyze the situation of early prevention and early treatment in the physical examination for our physical examination personnel. Get the physical examination report, just like a book, binding, up, down, and the opening are pasted with sealing stickers, very serious. The first page after the title page is not the beginning of the test, but the summary of the report. The text is divided into paragraphs, one by one, and where you need to pay attention, you also use a series of bars. In fact, without the doctor's special explanation, you will know the physical state and the situation to pay attention to when you look at it yourself...

Of course, the physical examination report, just look at it yourself, is not enough. The doctor in the summary room gave me a detailed explanation one by one, and repeatedly told me that there are polyps in the gallbladder, as well as stones, and must be checked regularly, and the triglycerides are high, which may be because you sit in the office for a long time and usually exercise less. You usually sit in the office for a long time, you have to move around appropriately, or do or something, usually pay attention to diet, especially to eat less animal offal... The doctor's reminder gave me more insight into my physical condition. Well, looking for a professional doctor to see the interpretation, it is not the same. We can't think that we are in good health, usually no illness and no pain, so we ignore the physical examination. To truly understand our own physical condition, should we believe in science, test and evaluate whether there are lesions in various parts and organs of the body, or whether there is any virus invading and infected. That is, are you sick?

Attaching importance to health and improving the quality of life is for their own health, but also for the health of their families, I think whether it is public or private, it is still necessary to do a physical examination every year. Although our bodies belong to individuals, we do not belong to individuals, there are families, parents, wives and children, friends... If a person's health goes wrong, it is a large piece of what is involved. There is a proverb: prevention is better than cure, so that early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment. Life is only once for us, and health is the best guarantee, only cherish the body, maintain health, and hold life tightly, this is our happy life!
