Mr. Ballen: 本期节目讲述了一位55岁男子Tony的故事,他因酒精戒断症状而住院,随后从地下室楼梯摔下,导致严重受伤。康复期间,他经历了一系列令人费解的幻觉,包括看到不存在的人和烟雾。这些症状最初被误诊为安必恩的副作用,以及尿路感染,最终被确诊为血清素综合征,这是一种由多种药物相互作用引起的罕见疾病。 Tony的经历突显了药物相互作用的潜在危险,以及准确诊断的重要性。尽管他经历了严重的并发症,包括肾衰竭、心脏骤停和昏迷,但他最终康复,这证明了及时的医疗干预和准确的诊断至关重要。 Tony: 我经历了一段非常艰难的时期。戒酒后,我从楼梯上摔了下来,导致了严重的伤害。在康复期间,我开始看到一些不存在的人和东西,这让我非常害怕和困惑。医生们起初无法解释我的症状,经过多次检查和治疗后,他们最终诊断出我患有血清素综合征。这是一种由多种药物相互作用引起的罕见疾病。我很庆幸最终得到了正确的诊断和治疗,并最终康复。 Gina: 我弟弟Tony长期酗酒,戒酒后病情恶化,从楼梯摔下后,情况危急。他经历了幻觉,医生们最初无法解释他的症状。我非常担心他的健康状况,并一直陪伴在他身边。最终,医生们诊断出他患有血清素综合征,这是一种由多种药物相互作用引起的罕见疾病。我很感激医生们最终找到了病因,并及时采取了治疗措施,使他得以康复。 Matilda Rogers: 我是Tony在疗养院的护理人员。在Tony住院期间,我注意到他的行为变得异常,他开始出现幻觉,看到过去的朋友和家人。起初,我认为这可能是由于睡眠药物或压力引起的,但他的病情逐渐恶化,最终被送回急诊室。我尽力提供帮助和安慰,并及时向医生报告了他的病情变化。 Dr. Mary Shaughnessy: 我是急诊室的医生。Tony第一次来急诊室时,他的症状非常复杂,包括幻觉、心率加快和血压升高。我们最初怀疑是安必恩的副作用,以及尿路感染。但经过进一步检查,发现他的尿路感染正在好转,而精神状态却持续恶化。这促使我们进行更深入的检查,最终确诊为血清素综合征。 Dr. Lucinda Bragg: 我是Tony的主治医生。在Tony的病情反复后,我仔细研究了他的病史和用药情况,发现他可能患有血清素综合征。这种疾病是由多种药物相互作用引起的,会导致幻觉、心率加快和血压升高以及其他症状。在神经科医生的确认下,我们及时调整了他的用药方案,最终帮助他康复。
