My grandmother was discharged from the hospital about three weeks ago。Because of the closure of Shanghai, my grandmother went to the hospital alone for ten days. During this period, she hired a nurse, but according to my grandmother, the experience was quite poor, and she found a very irresponsible person, unlucky. The general condition is that the long-term bronchial problems affect the lung function, and the lung problems lead to swollen feet, commonly known as "old chronic bronchitis". I don't know the specific condition, just listen to the doctor's suggestion to prepare a ventilator at home~
In fact, when my grandmother was in the hospital, I heard that I was going to prepare a ventilator. I didn't take it seriously at the time. I thought that when my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, it would be good to buy one near the hospital. And I didn't expect the price of the ventilator to be ridiculous .
Later, when my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, it was also because of the closure of the city in Shanghai, which complicated the trivial matter of being discharged from the hospital.
I won't go into specifics, but it would be nice if my grandmother went home safely, let alone buying a ventilator.
Later, when I called my grandmother, she happened to tell me that she just asked a neighbor in the village, who also uses a ventilator, and asked for 9,000 yuan for my grandmother. My grandmother thought it was expensive, and after discussing it with her sister, she suggested to buy a cheap one first. I was shocked when I heard the price, because I had no idea about the ventilator at all. I just remembered that I bought a nebulizer for my daughter before. , it's only 300 yuan. Seeing that they are about the same size, why does the ventilator cost 9,000 yuan? After that, I consulted a friend who was using a ventilator because of snoring while sleeping, and the price I got was about 3,000 to 4,000 if I bought it online.
So I chose to place an order with a high configuration. I was worried about the slow delivery due to the closure of Shanghai. I also placed two orders at a time. At that time, I was confident in the logistics in Shanghai, and I usually received it within a week. But who would have guessed that when I placed an order, there must be some new bullshit policy. It was called a silent period, and no express delivery was sent. As a result, I waited for two weeks in vain, and the express delivery was delayed.
During the period, I called the express phone many times. I thought that waiting like this was not the way to go. I simply asked a friend to go to our county to see if there was any medical equipment to sell ventilators. Because my friend has an entry and exit card, he specially dispenses medicine for the villagers to the hospital. There is a pass, hey, don't mention how ridiculous it is now.
My friend was also very helpful and managed to find a store that sells ventilators, but the price was much more expensive than I expected. I listened to the owner of the store for a long time, and it roughly means this: the ventilator only helps the patient to breathe, but it does not increase the oxygen content, so it must be used with an oxygen concentrator for "old and chronic bronchitis" patients. If the disease is not very serious and there is no carbon dioxide storage symptoms, you can use an oxygen concentrator first, and then use a ventilator in a few years when it is serious.
I feel that the shop owner is very sincere, and let me ask clearly before deciding after all, this thing is not cheap. I asked my mother-in-law and my mother on the phone later, and they didn't know either, but I heard from my grandmother that the doctor did say that it is best to use a ventilator and an oxygen concentrator together. In this way, I understand that there is no escape, just buy it directly. The two add up to 13,000, which is equal to the price of a 13-inch MacBook, which is definitely a huge profit. Of course, my grandmother will forcibly reimburse me. I am a little sad. First of all, I didn't know about my grandmother's specific condition and some knowledge of the ventilator, which led to a delay of two weeks, and it sounds like this problem is very serious and troublesome. , I originally thought that since I was hospitalized for ten days and I was discharged from the hospital, it should be a serious problem.
Finally, I would like to thank my reliable friends for helping with the purchase, delivery and teaching.
