It all started when a husband was going to work & the wife stayed at home with her three year old daughter Stacty who was playing in the back yard.
Mother:"Stacy, time for lunch".
Stacy:"Coming.
After lunch, she went back outside to play. Stacy went toward a bush. Something bit her & she showed her Mom. She think It was just a mosquito That bit her so she applieied ice on her. The next morning when she tried to wake Stacy up, she was a all sweaty. she felt her forhead & she was buring up.
Mother:"Dave! Call 911. I think Stacy's sick.
I was at the tennis court with Honey at the country club.
Honey:"Now it's my turn to serve".
Honey served the ball & I tried to get it with my tennis racket but I missed.
Honey:"15 love.
Hiro:"Hey, this is not a game. It's just for fun".
Honey:"I know. I was seeing of you were paying attention
All the sudden, my pager went off.
Hiro:"Time out Honey. I need to take this.
I got out my iPhone & called the hospital. I came back to the tennis court.
Hiro:"We need to call it a day. I need to go to the Hospital".
Honey:"We just got here".
Hiro:"I know but I just got page".
I got in my car with my tennnis clothes on. Lucky I had my scrubs in the car. I dropped my wife off home & got the SF Children's Hospital. I went to the staff showers showered & changed onto my scrubs & I got another page saying to come to the ER. I went to the ER & met up with the nurse.
Hiro:"What happen?"
Nurse:"A three year old came in with a high fever & she's sweaty.
Hiro:"Whst room"?
Nurse:"Exam. Room 4"?
Hiro:"Okey.
I grabbed her chart & went into the room. Stacy was on the gurney resting & Mom reading a magizine until I enter the room.
Hiro:"Hello. I'm Dr. Hmada. What seems to be the problem"?
Mother:"I woke her up & she ran a fever & Sweaty.
I walk to the sink to was my hands & put my gloves on & started to exam. her I took her temperture. It was 104.9. I felt around her neck. Listen to her heart & lungs. Took her blood-pressure. She was too sick so I ask Baymax to get a infant catheter kit to get a urine sample & send it to a lab & drew some blood. All the sudden, She can't breathe. I put my scethoscope on to listen.
Hiro:"She's not getting air. We need to put a breathing tube in. Baymax! laryngoscope.
Baymax hand me a laryngoscope & a breathing tube & I insert in in her lungs & started to bag to give her air.
Hiro:"We need to take her to I.C.U & admit her in.
I explain to the Mother what was happening to her daughter.
Hiro:"She may have a baterial infection so I need to keep her here. She's on life support now. We need to do a spinal tap. We put a needle in her back & get some spinal fluids out but first I need your consent.
The Mother sign the consent form. I ordered Baymax to get a spinal tap kit out & prepair it whil I prep the patient for the test. I numb the area, drap the patient & clean the area off with iodine & got some fluids out from her back. It did look cloudy but I send it to the lab & move her slowly on her back.
Hiro:"Baymax, Moniter her whil I talk to the Mother & start up an antibiotic I.V Meds on her.
I went into the consalt room to talk to her.
Hiro:"So I did the spinal tap & she has meningtis. She's going to be sick for awhile. I need to keep her here for awhile. The infection causeed her unable to breathe. It almost blocked her airway. That's why she's on life support. She's on antibiotic I.V Meds. If not inproved, Surgery may required to cut out the infection witch means removing part of her lung".
Mother:"Are there risks"."
Hiro:"She may need oxygen for the rest of her life.
The Mother was crying,
Hiro: "There is a possablely that the infection will clear up so let hope It will. Because of her fever, she'l have to be in isloation.
I herd Baymax over the inercom & I ran in the room.
Baymax:" Her blood-pressure id dropping".
I pulled out a syringe & inject in in her IV.
Hiro:"This will stablize her.
Her Blood-presure started to go back to normal & listen to a shot for her her lungs.
Hiro:"Good work Baymax to let me know. We need to keep her on life support so I need you to catheterize her.
Another nurse came in & hand me the lab results.
Hiro:"Well Blood & urine are Normal. Wait, She has a low blood count. She may need a shot for her immune system".
Baymax:"Catheter producer compleate".
Hiro:"Good now hang the bag on the bed rail below her bladder.
I also open up an NG feeding tube & insert it through her nose into her stomach. I use my stethoscope to listen to make sure I got it in right. Then I hook it a feeding bottle with liquid food inside.
Baymax:"This is a lot of medical stuff going on".
Hiro:"She too sick Baymax. She needs medical care. Keep en eye on her & I need to see other patient's.
I went out of ICU & start seeing other patient's. Is was 5pm & it was time for me to clock out. I picked up Tadashi & Maggie up from the Day-Care area of the Hospital & went home. Honey sent me a tex message that she had to work late so we stopped at a drive-thru some where to pick up dinner on the way home.
