Qi Zhiqiang's arms, legs, chest and other places where he felt pain were all fine. At most, there was only a slight soft tissue contusion.
A problem of this level does not require hospitalization or medication, and can be recovered by just resting at home for a period of time.
Upon receiving the good news, the Qi family breathed a long sigh of relief, but before they could be happy, the doctor's next words made their hearts tremble.
Qi Zhiqiang has chronic liver disease, and hepatitis B!
It may be difficult for future generations to understand the fear of hepatitis B that people in the 1970s and 1980s had.
Due to factors such as economic conditions, medical conditions, and weak hygiene awareness, hepatitis B began to spread on a large scale in the country since the early 1970s.
The most important route was infection through blood transfusion or injection (there was a lot of sharing of medical equipment at that time), followed by mother-to-child transmission, fecal-oral transmission and other routes.
At that time, due to the lack of medical knowledge, most people did not know that sharing tableware, shaking hands, hugging and other daily work and life behaviors could spread hepatitis B.
Therefore, when most people mention hepatitis B, they tend to make a fuss about it and avoid it.
Just like Wei Shufang, when she heard that her husband had hepatitis B, she suddenly felt like the sky was falling and she kept mumbling to herself.
"what to do?"
"This is how to do ah!"
Qi Zhiqiang's expression also changed drastically, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at his wife and son beside him.
He is very worried that his disease will be passed on to his wife and son.
If his wife and children are really infected with hepatitis B because of him, the consequences will be really disastrous!
Seeing the panic on the faces of the Qi family couple, Li Jie warned loudly: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry too much. Hepatitis B is not difficult to treat as long as it is discovered early."
At this time, Wei Shufang was already upset. After hearing Li Jie's words, she not only had no environment, but became even more anxious.
"You...what do you, a child, know?"
"Shufang." Qi Zhiqiang stopped her quickly, then turned to the doctor and said urgently: "Doctor, please check them to see if they are infected."
The doctor smiled slightly and said slowly: "Comrade, don't worry. In fact, what the child just said is right. Hepatitis B is not difficult to treat, but the treatment cycle is relatively long."
"Also, don't worry too much. Hepatitis B is not as contagious as you think."
As he spoke, the doctor looked at Li Jie with curiosity and asked with a smile.
"Kid, how do you know that hepatitis B is not difficult to treat?"
Li Jie pointed to the bulletin board covered with health promotion information: "I saw it above."
The doctor suddenly realized that the answer was so simple. People in his department could see the bulletin board every day.
It was precisely because he saw it so often that he subconsciously ignored such a thing.
From the beginning to now, Wei Shufang's mind has been confused. She didn't hear clearly what the doctor said. She just grabbed the doctor's white coat and begged with tears in her nose.
"Doctor, doctor, you must cure our Zhiqiang. Please, I beg you."
"This family member, this family member, please calm down." The doctor quickly supported Wei Shufang and spoke faster: "Don't be anxious yet. I just said that hepatitis B is not a terminal disease."
"It can be cured! It can be cured!"
Wei Shufang's eyes lit up, as if she saw hope.
"real?"
"Really, really, and our hospital also cooperates with the teaching and research team of Huashan Hospital in Shanghai. Do you know that Professor Wu Xianghui is a well-known expert in viral hepatitis research in China. The teaching and research team I am talking about was established by Professor Wu."
When people face unknown fields, they are always more willing to trust the judgment of professionals. When it comes to diseases, doctors are undoubtedly professional.
Hearing what the doctor said, Wei Shufang couldn't help but calm down a little. Her idea was simple.
In a hospital as big as Gulou Hospital, doctors would never lie to her.
Seeing that the patient's family members were no longer as excited as before, the doctor just picked up a pen and paper and was about to write a checklist for Wei Shufang and Qi Weimin.
"Comrade, hepatitis B is just a very common infectious disease. It is not as scary as you think. I will give you a list first. You go and get it checked. When the report comes out, we can discuss the treatment plan together."
"well."
In the late 1970s, the hospital was not yet overcrowded, and not long after, the inspection reports of Wei Shufang and Qi Weimin were released.
Fortunately, neither of them was infected with hepatitis B. This test result also reassured Qi Zhiqiang.
After some discussion, the doctor decided to adopt a safer traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. He prescribed a few doses of purple ginseng to try for a period of time. If the effect is not good, he will go to the hospital to change the dressing and switch to domestic D-penicillamine for treatment.
.
Li Jie thinks the treatment plan given by Dr. Gulou is quite reasonable. After all, the current medical conditions are not as good as those of later generations, and many specific drugs for the treatment of hepatitis B have not yet been released.
In addition, he did not intend to interfere with Qi Zhiqiang's liver disease.
If he really helps, there will be more twists and turns out of thin air.
A twelve-year-old child can study well enough to skip a grade and can barely explain it, but a twelve-year-old child knows how to treat diseases and has no previous history of studying medicine, so it is difficult to explain.
The most terrifying thing about hepatitis B is that the infected person does not know it. Once discovered, the disease can still be controlled with the current medical level.
So, this time Li Jie chose to watch.
afternoon.
After the doctor's popular science, the mentality of the three people in the Qi family was no longer as heavy as it was in the morning. After getting some medicine from the pharmacy, Qi Zhiqiang took a hand shot.
"Let's go take Qiqi home."
Li Jie promptly reminded: "Uncle, I have to trouble you to go to the doctor to get a milk ticket later."
"Yes."
Qi Zhiqiang slapped his head. He almost forgot about it, but fortunately 'Yicheng' reminded him.
"Yicheng, you are still thoughtful."
Just when he was about to pat his nephew on the shoulder as usual, he suddenly remembered that he had hepatitis B. Although the doctor said that it was not contagious through daily contact, he still retracted his half-raised arm.
On the other side, when Wei Shufang heard the word "milk ticket", her heart suddenly tightened.
Fresh milk is so expensive. It costs almost 20 cents a bottle, and one bottle is not enough for a day. I will definitely have to buy milk powder.
A bag of milk powder costs two or three yuan. If you save a little for a child, one bag is not enough for a month.
Fresh milk + milk powder, the little one will have to eat at least ten yuan a month.
Where did the Qiao family get so much money?
‘Yicheng’, this kid is too naive!
When the time comes to make ends meet, I will definitely, definitely...
(Milk powder was available in the 1970s, but unlike modern formula milk powder, most of them were milk powder, milk replacer powder mixed with rice flour, high-dry powder, which was expensive and difficult to buy)
