有一天我們將創造歷史

剛從長庚醫院上完研討會回來,
打開電腦一串未閱讀信件...
裡頭有AJEM的接受函!!

這已經是2010年的第三篇SCI paper了!!
距離Professor Fu的路又邁進一步~~

這一篇論文討論的主題其實過去已經有過相當多的文獻了,
只是從這個論點出發的文章並不多...

我們通常會從X光來判斷骨盆骨折的嚴重與否,
嚴重的骨盆骨折可能會合併內出血...

但不代表不嚴重的就不會出血...
因此如何提早發現那些"看似不嚴重的骨折卻有內出血",
就變的相當重要!!

Peter Fu的研究團隊意外發現血糖可以做為早期預測出血的指標...
(講這句話還真屌~~)

今天我們最早提出這樣的論點,
往後可能會有更多的研究支持我們的看法...
(當然也有可能被推翻)

或許有一天,骨盆骨折的病人都要常規驗血糖,
再根據血糖的數值判斷他出血的可能...

這代表著我們有機會能創造歷史,改變醫療行為!!
外傷急救的標準會因我們而改寫!!

在學醫與行醫的路上,我會繼續努力!!
