The story of how his pancreas exploded and he almost died many times while drinking and playing video games every day” #1
Drunken game player” Tarochin believed that the happiest life is the one in which he is drunk, lives as long as possible in a drunken state, and eventually dies. However, one day, he was suddenly told by a doctor that he was going to die for real. What happened to him? The following is an excerpt from “The Story of How My Pancreas Exploded and I Almost Died Many Times While Drinking Alcohol and Playing Video Games Every Day”, a story about the harmful effects of severe acute pancreatitis.
Further transfer to the hospital and ICU
Severe acute pancreatitis is a disease that affects not only the pancreas but also many other parts of the body. In my case, my kidneys were ruined first. When the kidneys fail, you can’t pee, and when you can’t pee, your body accumulates water, which causes waste products to accumulate in the blood …… and the combo is set, and soon you have a water balloon person whose whole body is swollen and puffy. That was me at the time. Since I cannot clean my blood by myself, I need artificial dialysis. Dialysis is a treatment that uses a machine to filter the blood instead of the kidneys, a procedure that takes several hours and, depending on the disease, is known to kill a person if it is not performed several times a week. Some people may think, “I’m going to be in bed all day anyway, so what does it matter if I do dialysis for a few hours or not?” Some people may think, “Well, I sleep all day anyway. However, it seems that just getting blood in and out of the body takes a lot of energy, and even though I was bedridden, I was very exhausted on the day I had dialysis. In addition, he needs a large infusion of fluids to nourish himself, but since he cannot pee, water accumulates around his lungs, and when that happens, he cannot breathe on his own, so he also needs a ventilator. If he can’t breathe on his own, he needs a ventilator. The basic treatment for acute pancreatitis is to fast to allow the pancreas to rest and then wait for the patient to recover on his/her own while supplying nutrition through intravenous fluids. However, if the disease is too severe, other parts of the body will deteriorate before the patient can recover on his/her own. Then, in the worst case scenario, you die. That was me at the time. I would be in trouble if I died, so I had to be managed systemically in an ICU with a ventilator and dialysis equipment. Well, I might still die, but that was the situation. So in the afternoon of the third day after my hospitalization, the flurry of hospital transfer procedures began. For the third time in two days, I was put in an ambulance. In the ambulance, my wife called my partner, Ivone, with whom I have been working for many years as a radio distributor. When I asked my wife about it later, she said, “I felt like I was going to cry if I talked, so I thought it would be better to have a good friend talk to me. I was exhausted, but we were able to have some conversation, and I laughed a little at the surrealism of the situation, wondering why I was talking to an old man and not my wife right before entering the ICU. I laughed a little at the surrealism of the situation. I unlocked the phone and handed it to my wife on the spot, as I was not allowed to bring my phone into the ICU. Since I had almost no power left to use the phone immediately after my hospitalization, I had no choice but to ask my wife to make necessary calls on my behalf. From this point on, I would be cut off from outside information for several months. At that time, I was completely groggy from the unbroken hell of pain and suffering, and I felt like “whatever will make me feel better. In that sense, I was quite grateful to be transferred to a large hospital.
