Chapter 359: It can be cured, but it will take hardship
The doctor on duty agreed and gave his seat to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue walked to Ye Xiaoman's bedside, and the people around her watched nervously.
Ye Xiaoman was also nervous and whispered timidly, "Sister Yue..."
Chu Yue reminded, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoman. It might be a little painful next, just bear with it."
Ye Xiaoman nodded immediately, "I'm not afraid of pain. I know Sister Yue won't hurt me."
Chu Yue glanced at him and saw that he was a well-behaved child.
She started from Ye Xiaoman's toes, then her calves, and finally her knees...
"Does it hurt here?...How about here?...Does it hurt here?..." Chu Yue pressed the nerves and acupoints on Ye Xiaoman's legs hard and tapped his knees. Ye Xiaoman had normal pain perception and knee jerk reflex.
It seems that Ye Xiaoman's leg nervous system is intact.
Chu Yue said again, "Xiao Man, turn around and lie down."
"Okay, Sister Yue."
Ye Xiaoman was very used to using the strength of his hands. He didn't need help from others. He could turn around by himself and then lie down on the hospital bed. He was so thin and small.
Chu Yue started from Ye Xiaoman's waist and touched down inch by inch.
The palms of his hands were no longer touching the acupuncture points and nerves, but also his bones. Ye Xiaoman had feeling in his legs and could use strength. The muscles in his legs were atrophied, but not seriously, and looked more like malnutrition.
Since there is nothing wrong with the legs, there must be something wrong with the connection between the leg bones and the body.
Chu Yue continued to feel the bones, especially the area around Ye Xiaoman's buttocks and thighs. The bones in that area are called hip bones.
She frowned.
Ye Zhaodi frowned at Chu Yue, her heart in her throat. If even Chu Yue said there was no way, then there really was no way, and Ye Xiaoman would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
After a while.
Chu Yue withdrew her hand, raised her head, and said with a frown, "Xiao Man's legs can be cured. There is hope that he can stand up, but it will take some pain."
Before Ye Zhaodi could express her message, the doctor on duty became excited.
"Can it be cured? How can you be sure it can be cured? His leg is obviously damaged, how can it be cured? I know you are a doctor, but you say such things to patients, leaving them hopeful and disappointed. This is irresponsible!"
The doctor on duty did not have bad intentions. He just lacked the ability to diagnose the condition, so he did not believe that Chu Yue, who was younger than him and a woman, could come to a conclusion that was completely opposite to his.
As the doctor on duty became emotional, the atmosphere in the ward became tense. Ye Zhaodi and Ye Xiaoman were caught in the middle. They looked at Chu Yue, then at the doctor on duty, and were so nervous that they didn't know what to say.
Chu Yue reminded, "Doctor, the patient is still here."
The doctor on duty quickly calmed down. He thought it was inappropriate to say these things in front of the patient, and it was also inappropriate to have a disagreement with Chu Yue, so he said, "Come out, we'll talk outside."
Chu Yue and the doctor on duty walked out of the ward.
Ye Xiaoman turned back, took Ye Zhaodi's hand, and asked softly, "Sister, can I really stand up?"
"Sister Ayue said it's okay, then it must be okay. I believe her." Ye Zhaodi's red and watery eyes were full of firm trust in Chu Yue.
Ye Xiaoman nodded and said, "I believe in Sister Yue, too. Sister, I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can stand up, I'm willing to do anything."
In the corridor outside the ward.
The doctor on duty stared at Chu Yue and said in a serious tone, "Doctor Chu, you said that child's leg can be cured. Why can't you tell me why he couldn't stand up since he was a child? What's wrong with him?"
Chu Yue said, "It's developmental dysplasia of the hip, also known as DDH, a condition that occurs in infants."
"This disease is more likely to occur in first-born children, and the incidence rate is much higher in girls than boys. This is usually caused by insufficient amniotic fluid in the mother, which affects the development of the fetus, or a family with a genetic gene for this disease. Ye Xiaoman is her second child, a boy, but she has this disease, which can be said to be a rare case."
There is also the possibility that Ye Zhaodi's mother was so shocked by the news of her husband's death that she gave birth prematurely.
"Generally, the golden age for treating hip dysplasia is four to five months, during which minor repairs can be performed. After eighteen months, complex rehabilitation can begin, such as surgery or wearing stabilizers. These are common treatments. If all goes well, recovery can be achieved before the age of four or five."
Chu Yue spoke calmly and eloquently, using a tone similar to that of someone reciting a medical research report. This included the name of the disease, the population at high risk, the cause of the disease, and treatment methods.
The doctor on duty was stunned and dumbfounded.
Chu Yue also said, "Doctor, if you don't believe what I say, you can find the latest medical information. I promise that every word I say will be exactly the same."
When the doctor on duty heard this, he inexplicably felt a sense of oppression emanating from Chu Yue and swallowed hard.
He said nervously, "If what you said is true, the golden period for treatment is between eighteen months and four or five years old. Now the child is eight years old, and he can still be treated?"
"Yes." Chu Yue remained firm, "It means I have to endure hardships."
She said, "Xiaoman's bones have basically taken shape. Now it will take time to correct the wrong bones. He needs to wear braces for a long time and persist in rehabilitation training. As long as he can get through this, he will not only be able to stand up, but also walk. Although he can't run like other children, a normal life will no longer be a problem."
After hearing what Chu Yue said, the doctor on duty began to waver and gradually believed what Chu Yue said.
"Then... why did you..."
"Doctor, Xiaoman's braces need to be customized by the hospital, as well as the follow-up rehabilitation training. I'm sorry to trouble you." Chu Yue softened her voice and said politely.
This is also the reason why she said so much to the doctor on duty.
Moreover, she could tell that the doctor on duty was not only a good doctor who cared about his patients, but also someone who would listen to advice.
After he returned and investigated the information, he found out that he had such a rare case. If he could really cure Ye Xiaoman and make him walk normally, this would be a living medical paper, which would help him get a higher professional title and he would no longer have to work like a slave in the emergency department.
So Chu Yue left Ye Xiaoman to the doctor on duty, feeling quite relieved.
Not long after, Chu Yue walked into the ward again.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ye Zhaodi standing there with a nervous and guilty expression.
Chu Yue smiled and asked her, "Did you hear everything?"
Ye Zhaodi nodded embarrassedly.
Chu Yue said, "Now that you've heard it, cheer up and get well soon and be discharged from the hospital. Zhaodi, you're a very good girl. The blessings for you and your brother are yet to come."
