Liu Zhaofei and his fellow villagers went to the village and waited on the only way to the town. After a while, they saw an ox cart coming. His blind old woman was lying on the cart, moaning in pain.
Her mother has a very strong endurance, she can endure any normal pain, but in a situation like this, the pain is unbearable.
Liu Zhaofei felt very distressed, "Mom, I'm here. Let's see the doctor right away. We'll be fine in a while."
Liu Quan'er was driving to Yuan'antang, and Liu Zhaofei remembered what Chen Zhongqian had just said, "Wait a minute, let's go to a different hospital for treatment today."
"Why is this? I have been seeing Yuan Antang for two years. Don't the doctors there understand the condition?" Liu Quan'er said in confusion.
Liu Zhaofei shook his head, "After two years of treatment, there is actually no improvement, right? Maybe another doctor can do better. I heard that Dr. Li in Renji Hall has excellent medical skills, so I will go and try it today."
"That's done, let's go to Renji Hall."
Soon we arrived at Renji Hall, where there were many patients. Liu Zhaofei got out of the car and asked, "Can Dr. Li have a consultation today?"
The young apprentice originally wanted to say that there is no Dr. Li in Renji Hall, but something suddenly occurred to him and he hurriedly said, "Yes, do you want to see Dr. Li for treatment?"
"Well, I was introduced by a friend."
Lin Yuxi was sitting in the lobby. She hadn't seen little Du Shi yet. When she heard the little apprentice said that she was looking for Dr. Li, she immediately knew that he was looking for her.
Not many people know that there is Dr. Li in Renji Hall, and even fewer come to see him.
She went out and took a look, wasn't this Chen Zhongqian's classmate, his name was... yes, Liu Zhaofei, Chen Zhongqian even gave him the bed to sleep on.
Liu Zhaofei also saw Lin Joy and was very confused as to why she was here. Before he could ask, Lin Joy had already spoken, "Is this your mother? What's wrong with her?"
He hurriedly said, "I just feel pain in many places on my body. The pain is unbearable and it is red and swollen."
Lin Xixi looked at the old woman on the bullock cart and asked someone to help her in.
Liu Quan'er parked the bullock cart beside him and said with some worry, "Who is that person? Why is she asking about her aunt's illness? Their Renji Hall won't let women see the doctor, right? I don't think it's possible, otherwise...
It’s better to go to Yuanantang.”
"It's okay, I know her." Liu Zhaofei asked Liu Quan'er to go about his own business and borrow his bullock cart to go back after he had finished his treatment.
He quickly entered the Renji Hall. Behind the screen, Lin Yuxi was checking Zhang's red and swollen joints. This time, the pain was in her right knee and ankle, which was so painful that she couldn't straighten her right leg.
Lin Yuxi asked Liu Zhaofei a few more questions, and initially determined that Zhang suffered from gout, which had recurring attacks and tophi had appeared in several places.
"It's difficult to cure your mother's disease, but it can be relieved quickly by finding the right method. You should also pay attention to your diet. I will tell you about this later. For now, relieve the pain." Lin Yuxi said very calmly.
Liu Zhaofei nodded, "Are you Doctor Li?"
Lin Joy said hurriedly, "How could it be? I am Dr. Li's apprentice. I have to ask Dr. Li for instructions on how to use the medicine. If you trust me, I will leave my aunt behind. You can just go back to class."
Liu Zhaofei hurriedly said, "I want to stay with my mother here."
Realizing that it was easy for people to misunderstand, he added, "It's not that I don't trust you, but I feel that my mother is in too much pain and I have to stay with her. I believe in you."
Lin Xixi asked someone to find a ward for Zhang. When she went to get her backpack, there were already infusion equipment, as well as pain relief and uric acid-lowering drugs inside.
She entered the ward calmly, without avoiding Liu Zhaofei, and prepared the medicine and infusion in one go.
"Doctor Li said that it is not easy to relieve the pain of her disease. She will have to continue infusion today and will not be able to go back until later."
"Infusion?"
Lin Yuxi pointed to the needle on the back of Zhang's hand, "This is extracted from medicinal materials. It is a very pure medicine. It goes directly into the blood vessels and has better pain relief effect. This treatment method can only be carried out here, so it should be done later."
It won’t be long before we can go back.”
Although Zhang is still in pain, Liu Zhaofei felt that this method was very useful after hearing it, and he came to the right place.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, as long as it makes my mother less painful." His eyes were red, and he resisted the tears from falling. He felt the pain of his mother.
Lin Yuxi said, "This disease is called gout. If you don't pay attention to your diet, you will have frequent attacks. You should eat a light diet on weekdays. You can't eat peanuts, soybeans or anything else. The same goes for walnuts. And more importantly, you can't take supplements."
Soup."
Liu Zhaofei's eyes widened, "Can't you drink the stewed bone soup?"
"No, you can't drink it without adding any medicinal materials. Drinking it will cause an attack."
He quickly said, "My mother drinks bone soup every once in a while. The previous doctor said that this is a disease of the bones. Drinking more bone soup is good for the bones, so my mother drinks it often."
The main reason was that the bones were not expensive, and he thought it would be beneficial to drink more, so he made an agreement with the pig butcher in the neighboring village to deliver bones every few days.
Lin Yuxi guessed that this was the case, "Doctor Li has to treat this here anyway. You can also choose to listen to other doctors. Maybe what he says makes more sense."
She also explained some other precautions. Liu Zhaofei was extremely surprised. Many of them were contrary to his usual habits. No wonder the disease would recur and become more and more serious.
After Lin Xixi said that, she went out and asked Liu Zhaofei to accompany Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang said, "Son, why do you come here to get treatment? This medicine sounds very expensive. How can we have so much money?"
Liu Zhaofei comforted her, "Mom, if the medicine is not right for the patient, what's the use of taking more? Yuanantang has been treating you for so long, but your disease is getting worse and worse. Maybe you have found the right doctor this time? We have to give it a try.
."
"Don't worry about money. I can make it. I've found a job copying books, and I can earn a lot. The academy also has bonuses. As long as I study hard, I can get money from studying."
Mrs. Zhang could no longer see her eyes. She reached out and touched her son's face. She felt extremely distressed. Her son had lost weight.
"You worked too hard."
Liu Zhaofei shook his head, "It's not hard. It's hard work for my mother to raise me for so many years. Now that my son has grown up, he should serve his mother."
As Mrs. Zhang was talking, she actually started crying, "Son, you are twenty years old, and your wife doesn't even know where she is. It's all because of my mother that I'm dragging you down."
"How can this happen? Mom, don't think too much about it. When your son succeeds in the examination, he will be able to take good care of your mother and start a family. Didn't your mother say that your son is good-looking? How can he not get a wife?
There’s no rush now.”
Lin Xixi was about to go in and take a look, but she heard the conversation between mother and son at the door and was too embarrassed to go in and interrupt.
But he couldn't help but sigh, Liu Zhaofei was in such a bad situation that it was really hard to find a wife.
It's very difficult for a blind old woman, whose family is poor, who is a scholar, but who doesn't know where her future lies.
