Chapter 249: Quit drinking, not a drop

"And a few days ago, someone in your compound suddenly fainted. It's called 'respiratory alkali poisoning.' I've seen so many patients in my life, and I've never heard of this condition. But I called the professors at the medical school, and they said it's the academic name. Your quick and accurate resuscitation saved her life. Now, it really is your world, young people."

"I'm... so old... I really can't deny my age anymore... This afternoon, I was just walking a few steps in the village, not breathing heavily, when I suddenly felt a headache, my vision went black, and I fell headfirst. When I realized it, I was already in a ravine."

Doctor Hao repeated all the compliments he had given to Chu Yue in the past. Chu Yue did not dare to respond to these words. After all, it was easy to conceal her identity in front of ordinary people, but it was not so easy to hide the modern medical level in her head in front of a professional old doctor.

Chu Yue was afraid of making more mistakes if she spoke too much, so she simply accepted everything Doctor Hao said as praise.

But Doctor Hao finally mentioned that he fell because of headache and dizziness, which led to the accident.

Chu Yue stopped holding the gauze and frowned.

She looked up and asked Doctor Hao, "Doctor Hao, did your headache symptoms appear recently? Or is it an old problem that has been with you for a long time?"

"It's been about half a year. I'm old and have some migraines, which is normal. Before, it would be fine as long as I took it easy. But this time, it was so unfortunate that it turned out like this." Doctor Hao pointed to his immobilized leg. He was not depressed by the injury. Instead, he was quite open-minded and could even laugh.

Chu Yue, however, kept frowning.

She continued to ask, "When you have a headache, do you have numbness in your limbs?"

"Yes, a little bit. It's probably because I've been sitting for too long and the blood circulation is blocked." Doctor Hao said thoughtfully. As he spoke, he suddenly froze. His hearty smile came to an abrupt end. Instead, he frowned tightly like Chu Yue.

As Doctor Hao and Chu Yue stopped talking, the clinic fell into an eerie silence.

Song Hongmei and Xu Feng were both bewildered and confused.

Xu Feng was impatient and asked directly, "Why are you all silent? What happened? Does Doctor Hao have any other problems besides a broken leg?"

Xu Feng really got this thing right.

Chu Yue said, "These symptoms presented by Doctor Hao are all early signs of a stroke."

Song Hongmei exclaimed, "Stroke? How could it be a stroke out of nowhere?"

Xu Feng cursed in his heart in frustration, what a bad mouth he has!

The group of people most at risk of stroke are the elderly. Stroke is often sudden and temporary, difficult to prevent, and has a huge impact on people.

If it is a minor stroke, it is not so bad. But if it is a major stroke, many patients will lose basic mobility functions and may need someone to take care of them for three meals a day.

Perhaps it was an instinctive rejection. Doctor Hao considered himself a doctor, so he found reasonable excuses for some minor illnesses and pains, and never thought about a stroke.

But with Chu Yue's reminder.

From headaches and dizziness to numbness in the limbs, and then to sudden fainting...

These are all physical signs that may indicate a stroke in the elderly.

As a result, everyone in the clinic turned their attention to Doctor Hao, and they were even more concerned and nervous than when they first learned that he had broken his leg.

Doctor Hao had been to the battlefield and seen many storms, so he quickly recovered from the shock of a possible stroke.

"Hahaha...hahaha...it seems that this time I turned a disaster into a blessing. Although I broke my leg, the stroke was discovered in advance, which is a great thing." Doctor Hao was still optimistic and cheerful, but there was bitterness in his laughter.

Song Hongmei worriedly asked Chu Yue, "Ah Yue, since this stroke can be detected, can it be cured? What kind of medicine can be taken to cure it?"

Stroke is essentially a sudden deterioration of body function. It can be prevented, but it is impossible to cure it.

So, Chu Yue shook her head helplessly.

But she added, "We can now detect it early and effectively prevent it, reducing the possibility of stroke."

Doctor Hao's depressed eyes lit up, and he stared at Chu Yue closely, placing his last hope on her.

Chu Yue had already fixed the plaster and put Doctor Hao's right leg down to let the wet plaster dry.

She wiped her hands, walked to Doctor Hao, and lowered her head to smell.

As expected...

The first prescription Chu Yue prescribed was, "Doctor Hao, you must stop drinking."

The two common causes of stroke are cigarettes and alcohol. Doctor Hao does not have the smell of cigarettes, but he does have the smell of alcohol, which cannot be hidden at all, as if he is a drunkard.

"You also need to eat healthily, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and regulate your blood oxygen, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels. Another important thing is exercise." Chu Yue mentioned the Eight-Section Brocade she had given Mrs. He. She said, "I'll draw another one. After your leg heals, follow this exercise every day, morning and evening, to effectively relieve your symptoms."

"The most important thing is to stop drinking. Not even a drop."

Most of the requests raised by Chu Yue were not difficult. After all, Doctor Hao was in the army, and his daily routine and three meals a day followed the army, which was very normal.

But... quit drinking!

This really cost Doctor Hao his life.

He has no children, and his only comfort in life is a sip of wine.

Asking him not to drink is like stealing his wife.

Doctor Hao looked at Chu Yue's fair and beautiful face and felt a little scared for some reason, just like an ordinary patient would be afraid of a doctor.

He tried to bargain with Chu Yue, "Xiao Chu, I still have two jars of the best daughter's red wine that I haven't drunk yet. I've kept it for more than ten years and I've never wanted to give it away. Now I can't drink it, what a waste."

Chu Yue showed a slightly relaxed expression and asked, "Is that so... Besides the two jars of daughter's red wine, is there anything else?"

Doctor Hao listened to Chu Yue's gentle tone and thought that the young man was kind-hearted and there was room for bargaining.

He continued, "Yes, there's also Shaodaozi, which Captain Gao of the Sixth Company gave me. He said it was brewed by the best brewer in their village. I only had a few sips. ... And Fenjiu... last year's Osmanthus wine... The best is Maotai! Commander He gave me just one bottle. I couldn't bear to open it and smell it, so I kept it hidden under my bed."

Chu Yue nodded, "There are so many, it would be a shame to waste them."

When Doctor Hao heard what Chu Yue said, he was so excited that he almost jumped out of the bed. He had found a like-minded person!

"What a shame to waste it! Once I finish this wine, I will definitely quit drinking!"

Chu Yue nodded. Even Moutai was mentioned. It seemed that they were all here.

Her expression changed, and she looked at Xu Feng and said, "Captain Xu, you heard it too. Two jars of Nv'erhong, two bottles of Shaodaozi, some Fenjiu and Osmanthus wine, and a bottle of Maotai. Go to Doctor Hao's residence and search for all of these. Don't leave anything behind."
