"Here, this is for you!" Qiao Xinruo suddenly pulled out a small potted plant from behind her back, placed it on the table, and instructed Su Yueya, "Sister, you must take good care of it. I can come to your office to check on it anytime!"
"Okay!" Su Yueya looked at the small potted green ivy and thought that she should move it to a different place.
Finally, it was decided to place it next to the sink.
Pothos plants are best placed near water; if not, they can be placed near a sink, which is a similar idea.
My life as a doctor has officially begun!
The military hospital, from its name and its geographical location, is very distinctive.
Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it mainly serves military personnel and their families. Of course, many patients also come here by word of mouth.
After Su Yueya officially began treating patients, patients started registering with her.
"Number One!"
An aunt led a young woman into the clinic. Upon seeing Su Yueya for the first time, the aunt hesitated.
"Auntie, why don't we see another doctor? This doctor is so young, can he cure me?" The young woman's name was Ju Rong. She had some gynecological discomfort but had been too embarrassed to see a doctor.
She only asked Aunt Hong from her hometown to come and see what was going on when she came to visit.
"How could you say that!" Aunt Hong was clearly much more astute than Ju Rong. She first smiled apologetically at Su Yueya, then quickly apologized, "Dr. Su, I'm sorry, Ju Rong didn't mean it that way. We won't change doctors, we'll stay here!"
“Ju Rong,” Aunt Hong lowered her voice and frowned, “Don’t talk nonsense. Whether a doctor is good or not doesn’t depend on age. This is a military hospital. Anyone who can work here can’t be a quack.”
The internship program at the military hospital is right there; if you can get in, it means your medical skills are definitely up to par.
Su Yueya wasn't angry. It's normal for people to have doubts. As long as she does her job well and dispels their suspicions, that's all that matters.
What's the use of getting angry? Even if you're right, it doesn't matter how loud you shout.
"Why don't you sit down first?" Su Yueya suggested.
Ju Rong then sat down with Aunt Hong.
"Are you here for the medical treatment?" Su Yueya looked Ju Rong up and down, first asking, "Where do you feel unwell?"
Ju Rong stammered and talked for a long time, but didn't get to the point.
Su Yueya guessed that it must be related to gynecology, otherwise Ju Rong wouldn't be so embarrassed to talk about it.
"Oh dear!" Aunt Hong exclaimed anxiously. She hadn't expected that Ju Rong, at such a young age, would be more traditional than herself. "Let me explain! Dr. Su, it's like this, my eldest niece feels uncomfortable down there, it's always very itchy. Before, washing with hot water would make her feel a little better, but now, even if she washes with hot water, it only helps for a few minutes, and she still feels uncomfortable!"
"Auntie!" Ju Rong was embarrassed again and didn't dare to look Su Yueya in the eye.
That's why she had been holding back, not daring to go to the doctor alone, and even when she felt uncomfortable during intercourse, she endured it without saying a word to her husband.
"You don't need to be embarrassed. Everyone gets sick sometimes. Many women have gynecological problems. It doesn't mean anything," Su Yueya said softly, trying to calm the patient down.
“Alright, let’s go inside. I’ll check on you first.” With that, Su Yueya stood up and put on gloves.
"What? I want to show you too?" Ju Rong looked surprised.
"Then... how am I supposed to know what's wrong with you if I don't look?" Su Yueya explained patiently.
"Then...then do I have to take my pants off?" Ju Rong was extremely awkward. She had never done this in front of anyone other than her husband before, and she felt very embarrassed.
“Yes, how can I see if you don’t take it off?” Su Yueya didn’t show any impatience, she just didn’t want to upset the patient anymore. “Don’t worry, in a doctor’s eyes, you are just a patient, and it’s just a sick organ. You don’t need to feel burdened.”
That's what they say, but it's only because Su Yueya is a doctor that she can face this kind of thing calmly.
For the average person, even if they know this in their heart, it's a different story when it actually happens and they face it.
It's just human nature.
Therefore, the doctor's attitude is especially important in such situations.
If Su Yueya showed even the slightest impatience or spoke with a harsh or disdainful tone at this moment, it would cause secondary psychological harm to the patient.
"Stop dawdling! Now that you're at the hospital, listen to the doctor and hurry up!" Aunt Hong urged Ju Rong.
The patient himself, perhaps tormented by the illness for too long, gritted his teeth and persevered even though he was reluctant to let go.
Lie down on the examination bed, take off your pants, and get examined.
Throughout the entire process, Su Yueya moved very gently and spoke softly to Ju Rong.
"You have inflammation, you need medication."
Su Yueya put the scraped secretions into a test tube and handed it to Aunt Hong, then asked her to take it to the laboratory first.
"The laboratory is on the far right of the first floor. Go out through that exit and you'll see it," Su Yueya said.
"Okay!"
After the test results came out and were delivered, Su Yueya continued to explain to Ju Rong.
"This disease is not difficult to treat, but your husband must be treated with you, and you cannot have sex during the treatment period, otherwise you will not be cured."
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you, some for external application and some for oral administration."
"Remember, when cleaning in the future, always use warm water, not hot water, especially boiling water, absolutely not."
"Why?" Ju Rong didn't understand. She felt that hot water, especially scalding water, made her feel particularly comfortable after washing, and it made her less itchy.
"The reason you feel no itching for a short time after washing with hot water is because the surface of your skin is numb from the heat. If the water is too hot, it can easily cause low-temperature burns. Moreover, stimulating the surrounding skin in this way will only backfire and worsen your inflammation," Su Yueya explained.
"But I'm not burned, I'm just itchy..." Ju Rong still didn't understand.
Su Yueya: "..."
Even if she explains, the patient may not really understand.
Su Yueya simply gave up on explaining and told Ju Rong to just listen to her and know what to do.
"In short, for topical ointments, apply twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, after washing with water; for oral medication, take one pill three times a day, one pill each in the morning, noon and evening. Also, abstain from sexual activity recently and eat a light diet. Can you do that?"
Before Ju Rong could speak, Su Yueya said forcefully, "If you want to be cured, you must do this."
"Okay, I understand." Ju Rong nodded.
Compared to Su Yueya's soft and gentle manner at the beginning, Ju Rong listened to Su Yueya's somewhat assertive words more.
This left Su Yueya somewhat helpless, realizing this.
