The doctor went for a physical examination and found something growing on the ribs. He was so happy that he cried after diagnosing it as a hemangioma.

After a busy day of two general anesthesias and three spinal anesthesias, it’s finally time to check my phone.

Suddenly, I found out that a fellow anesthesiologist from afar was asking for help. And it seemed very urgent...

Normally, anesthesiologists are well-informed and it is rare for them to ask for help in such a panic. Upon closer inspection, the patient turned out to be a colleague.

There may be a saying in other industries that "competents are enemies", but it is different in the anesthesia industry. Everyone is fighting in the same trench, and there are only tens of thousands of people in the country, so the hearts are still very united. For example, if you hear that an anesthesiologist is sick, everyone will generously help.

Just like that, everyone asked him what disease he had.

When they learned that something had grown on the ribs, everyone was silent. Because anyone with a little experience knows that something growing on bones, especially on ribs, which are generally not prone to serious illnesses, may not be a good thing.

So, people across industries started studying his films.

His CT results showed spindle-shaped expansive changes in the local bone of the left 7th posterior rib with unclear boundaries. The local bone marrow cavity with an area of ​​about 2 by 6 showed ground-glass density, with irregular trabecular structure inside. There was no obvious sclerotic edge or periosteal reaction. The enhanced scan showed no obvious enhancement and no abnormal changes in the surrounding soft tissue.

Such CT results shocked even the anesthesiologists who had seen all kinds of serious diseases in the operating room for a long time. Because this is very rare. Moreover, this "rare" serious disease is so similar to the one that everyone fears.

Suddenly, everyone involved in the discussion fell silent, and no one knew how to comfort this comrade.

As expected of a man who has seen the world and has a big heart, the anesthesiologist said: I have already made an appointment with a well-known expert and am waiting to go for a checkup the next day. I hope nothing is wrong. Although it seems to be an understatement, one can feel from his words that he is already very unconfident.

When the expert saw the film, he frowned and held up five fingers.

At this time, he was close to collapse.

It is conceivable that many patients with serious illnesses must have felt the same way at that time.

Choking with tears, I asked the expert: What does this mean?

Experts say: fifty-fifty.

Although the expert only said "50-50", he heard "benign" as if he had heard it. Because he had seen so many serious surgeries, he also thought that he could not escape.

With five points of hope, he lay on the operating table.

At that moment, he wished so much to be reborn.

Suddenly, he was awakened by the anesthesiologist who slapped him so hard that he almost scolded him: Why are you hitting me?

But reason told him that it was the anesthesiologist who was waking him up.

After he slowly opened his eyes, the anesthesiologist excitedly told him: It's benign! Bone hemangioma!

When he heard the word "benign", two lines of tears flowed down his face, and he thought to himself: I have saved so many people in my daily life, that's it, God should not treat me like this, if he keeps my life, he can save more people.

As the residual anesthetic took effect, he fell into a deep sleep again. This time, he really fell asleep peacefully.

Bone hemangioma can occur at any age, but is more common in adults, with similar incidence rates in men and women. Clinical symptoms are mostly nonspecific and are usually discovered by accident. Some patients may have large tumors and may experience pain or palpable masses. When you discover physical abnormalities, do not overthink or seek medical treatment without authorization, but seek regular treatment as soon as possible.

A special reminder is that you should not lose your mind first. A good mental state can not only help you treat the disease positively, but also, objectively speaking, enable the body's immune function to continue to monitor the disease, thereby preventing the disease from getting worse.
