Why does a 70-year-old man climb a tree and fall?

In order to taste delicious food, some people risked climbing trees and picking them, causing serious consequences. Recently, the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Jiangxian People's Hospital has successively received patients who accidentally fell from a height by picking persimmons from trees, and some of them caused serious injuries or even high paraplegia.

Yang Peng, director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, reminded residents not to climb trees and pick fruits with their bare hands to avoid falling. In case of falling, they should try to avoid moving the injured at will and avoid secondary injuries.

The 70-year-old man fell from the persimmon tree.

High paraplegia may require long-term bed rest.

Recently, a large number of persimmons have been on the market. A 70-year-old man living in Cheng Nan wants to pick persimmons and taste them himself when he has nothing to do. The old man walked alone to a ravine, where many persimmon trees were planted, ranging from 1.5 meters to 2 meters high. The old man climbed up the persimmon tree with his bare hands and wanted to pick some home, but he accidentally fell down from the tree.

He felt pain all over his body, accompanied by numbness and fatigue in his upper limbs, immobility in his lower limbs and difficulty in moving. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. I called for help urgently, but there was no one else around. Later, the family found that the old man was not at home, looked around, and finally found the old man by voice, which was already 12. The family quickly drove the old man to the county hospital.

After examination, the elderly are suffering from cervical spinal cord injury with high paraplegia, and generally need emergency surgery, but the prognosis will not be too good, and may need to stay in bed for a long time.

Coincidentally, Aunt Xie, a 50-year-old Yongqing native, accidentally fell while picking persimmons at home a few days ago, resulting in a compression fracture of the lumbar vertebra 2 and a fracture of the distal end of the left radius. Fortunately, his family was sent to the hospital in time, with minor injuries and can be treated conservatively. After being hospitalized 10 days, Aunt Xie was discharged from the hospital and had to stay in bed 1 0 months before she could walk in the fields.
