Chapter 79 Professional
The next morning, there was a bottle of dark purple "drink" on Dongdong's bedside table. Su Tong told him to drink it half an hour before meals.
The nurse poured the "drink" into the cup with a straw specially prepared for Dongdong with a skeptical attitude and handed it to him as usual.
Dongdong opened his big empty eyes, took the cup mechanically, and put it into his mouth without even looking at it as usual.
I have tried to use this cup to hold sugar water, milk, and malted milk, but as soon as Dong tastes something, he throws away the cup along with it.
Even if it was water, I couldn't drink much, but at least I didn't refuse it.
Dongdong drank the dark purple "drink" through the straw. There was still no extra expression on his face, but the water level in the cup was dropping.
There is a scale on the cup. Usually Dongdong can drink a maximum of 50 ml of water in the morning. But today the nurse was surprised to see that the scale was lower than usual and he drank 85 ml.
The nurse looked back at the faces outside the glass door and nodded excitedly.
Peng Hui almost cried again outside the door, "It works! It really works! He drank it!"
Su Tong also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could take the medicine on his own initiative. Otherwise, it would be bad if he had to use force.
She patted Peng Hui's hand and said, "Comrade Peng, don't get too excited. It's not good for your health! You should drink up all the "drinks" that Dongdong didn't finish! Don't waste them!"
Peng Hui was stunned, but Liu Shiwen next to her looked at his wife and burst out laughing.
But when Peng Hui drank this special "drink", she found that although it looked rich in color, its taste was very light, sweet with a hint of sourness, and you couldn't tell the difference unless you tasted it carefully.
From what Peng Hui could tell, she could only roughly distinguish the taste of licorice and hawthorn. Compared with other Chinese medicines, drinking this was just like drinking water.
When asked about Su Tong, she just smiled faintly and said:
"Because most of the herbs added are food ingredients, this recipe cleverly neutralizes several flavors. I also diluted the formula, so the taste is naturally lighter. Since Dongdong can drink this, let him drink it as water!"
Peng Hui nodded repeatedly. She originally just wanted Su Tong to give it a try, but she didn't expect that this girl was really capable.
I thought I must praise her and encourage her to be more dedicated...
Before he could finish his thought, Su Tong continued casually:
"I didn't come up with this recipe. It's an old recipe that was originally used to treat loss of appetite and weak spleen and stomach. It just happens to be the right recipe for Dongdong. Our ancestors were very wise!"
After saying that, he went out to prepare the acupuncture supplies.
Peng Hui was choked on the words she had prepared. She stared at Su Tong's back, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Liu Shiwen looked at his wife, blinking blankly, and smiled, patted her hands, and said:
"Forget it. Fake courtesy is useless to this girl. We should be more sincere, remember her kindness, and cooperate with her more."
Peng Hui let out a breath, nodded, and looked at her husband with eager eyes.
"Shi Wen, she's really special! I think she might really be able to cure Dong Dong!"
Su Tong knew that the Liu family had specially invited a professor from the capital to treat Dongdong, and he was currently Dongdong's attending physician.
She wanted to give Dongdong acupuncture, so naturally she had to communicate with him first.
Professor Wen has been here for more than ten days. He has developed a treatment method for Dongdong's condition. Dongdong can now eat some porridge, which is a good improvement.
The Liu family also discussed Su Tong's coming with Professor Wen. When Professor Wen heard that Su Tong not only understood Chinese medicine but was also the one who rescued Dongdong, he readily agreed to let her come and try.
At half past eight, Su Tong met Professor Wen on time.
Professor Wen looked to be in his fifties, well-dressed, with a calm look in his eyes. He did not look down on Su Tong at all because of her identity, but instead carefully discussed Dongdong's condition with Su Tong.
He also agreed with Su Tong's idea of giving Dongdong acupuncture, saying that it did not conflict with his treatment plan. On the contrary, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine could promote each other.
It's just that when Professor Wen mentioned Dongdong's mental condition, he made a suggestion to Su Tong...
The reason why Dongdong was stimulated was because he was kidnapped by criminals. Su Tong was also present at the time and was the one who saved him. If she had provided psychological counseling to Dongdong, the effect might have been different.
Su Tong said: "When I saw Dongdong, he was already in a deep coma. He had no impression of me, nor my face, so it might not have affected Dongdong's imagination."
"And we haven't assessed Dongdong's psychological condition yet. Letting him relive the negative feelings brought about by the traumatic situation, we don't know if he can handle it. If he can't handle it, the consequences will be more serious."
Professor Wen did not respond, but looked at Su Tong in surprise. After a while, he asked:
"How do you know the technical term for PTSD?"
Su Tong paused and recalled in his mind that the research on post-traumatic stress disorder originated in the 1970s, but it was not until 1984 that it was officially included in the medical system as a disease.
It was indeed a little early for her to bring it up now, but fortunately she didn't say too much.
Su Tong cleared his throat and said, "I... read it in a book. I really like reading and I learned a lot by myself."
Professor Wen didn't quite believe Su Tong's words, as the term post-traumatic stress disorder has only emerged in the past two years.
You may occasionally see it in foreign medical journals, but research in this field in China is almost blank!
It is even more impossible to say that there are related books appearing!
Unless this rural girl can read foreign magazines in their original language, that would be even more impossible.
Dongdong's situation is relatively typical, but there is no precedent for this type of treatment in the country, so he can only try to combine drug treatment and psychotherapy at the same time.
But the results were minimal.
It was not until this moment that Professor Wen suddenly realized that his discussion of the illness with the girl in front of him had been extremely smooth, and even their treatment concepts were extremely consistent!
She even has more insight than the students he teaches!
——His students do not understand the knowledge in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
——His students have even less knowledge about post-traumatic stress disorder.
——Even he has only studied the basics and is trying to apply the psychological knowledge he has learned to related treatments...
But this girl could easily tell the pros and cons of this treatment.
