1970s: After Being Kicked Out of the House, I Turned Around and Married a Military Officer

She didn'...

Chapter 257: Keep Your Mouth Shut (2/2)

There are not many patients of this type, and the patients who come later can be cured with plasters and acupuncture.

I just sent away an old lady with cold legs and gave her two plasters for free. If she wants more, she has to ask her son to find a way. Anyway, Song Yun can't just give away plasters casually. She can't afford to give to so many people. Two plasters is the limit.

"Doctor Song, come and take a look." Qin Meng called out.

Song Yun walked over. The patient was a young woman in her early teens. She was skinny and looked a little scary. She was lying on the table with no energy at all, her eyes were dull and she was breathing hard.

"Doctor Song, this patient has no fever, and his blood pressure isn't high, it's even a little low, but his heart rate is very fast. What's going on?"

When Song Yun saw the patient open his mouth, the middle-aged woman who was taking care of him quickly took out a kettle and fed the patient water. She was very skilled and seemed to be very familiar with the job.

"What did you give her to drink?" Song Yun asked.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "It's sugar water. She always says she wants to eat sweet things, so I make her sugar water. I don't know where the sugar water went. She eats a lot, but she's getting thinner and thinner."

Song Yun took the young woman's pulse and found that just as Qin Meng had said, her heartbeat was very fast and her breathing was short, almost like someone who was dying.

"I suspect it's diabetes," said Song Yun.

The middle-aged woman was stunned. "What disease? What disease is sugar?"

"Diabetes is also known as thirst in traditional Chinese medicine. Don't drink sugary drinks anymore. Only drink plain water, plenty of it." Song Yun took Qin Meng's pen and paper and wrote a prescription. As she wrote, she said, "Her condition is very dangerous. Take her to the military hospital immediately and have the doctor give her an IV drip. I'll write down the name of the medicine. Only use the medicine I wrote. Don't use anything else, especially glucose. Absolutely not."

Song Yun quickly wrote down the IV drips she needed for hospitalization, then wrote down a prescription for a blood sugar-lowering medicine. "I'll give you a blood sugar-lowering medicine. Drink it twice a day, in the morning and at night. You have to drink it every day for the rest of your life."

The middle-aged woman asked, "You still want to drink it even if you're old?"

Song Yun wrote the prescription and handed it to her. "There's currently no cure for this disease. You can only rely on self-control of your diet and medication to help regulate your condition. If you can't control your mouth and eat too much, the consequences will be very serious."

Song Yun took another piece of paper and wrote down the things she needed to pay attention to in her daily diet. She should not eat too much, and should eat no more than 70% full. She should not eat sweets, and should only taste fruits. When she is sick, she must inform the doctor of her condition to prevent the doctor from misjudging the medication and causing serious consequences.

After writing, he handed the paper to the middle-aged woman and said, "Take her to the hospital quickly. Her condition is very serious and we can't delay any longer."

The middle-aged woman looked at the three pieces of paper in her hand and frowned. "I came here because I heard you were running a free clinic. Why do I need to be hospitalized now?"

Qin Meng knew what the woman was thinking when she heard this, and she spoke directly to her, "We are doctors, not gods. Can we cure diseases with just one look? Can a disease like your daughter's be cured with just our eyes and mouth? Can it be cured without medicine?"

The middle-aged woman muttered, "What kind of free clinic is this? I might as well go directly to the hospital."

The family of soldiers standing in line behind the middle-aged woman couldn't help but retort, "Then why don't you just go to the hospital? What are you wasting time on? You don't even see others waiting to see you. Really? Don't you see how bad the person is? Do you think they can cure him just by taking his pulse? If you want to go somewhere else, go somewhere else."

"That's right, don't think we don't know. You're not even a military dependent. We gave you free medical care, and you're not satisfied. You're even trying to rely on Dr. Song to treat your daughter for free, right? What are you dreaming of? Get it straight: free medical treatment only provides free medical care, not free treatment. Do you really want Dr. Song to pay for the medication himself?"

These words really touched Song Yun's heart. She looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Captain Yan Feng's lover, Sister Xu. Sister Xu winked at her.
