Chapter 302 Skin Cancer Specific Drug
After leaving Chen Peiqiong's house, Xia Xiaoman rushed to Li Yu'e without stopping.
When Li Yu'e heard about skin cancer, her face suddenly changed. "Xiao Man, do you know what the early symptoms of skin cancer are?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "I'm not sure. I heard it will cause spots."
She has not paid attention to this kind of news. If she knew that ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer, she would definitely try her best to protect herself from the sun and ultraviolet rays.
Seeing that she was unreliable, Li Yu'e hurriedly asked someone to call Luo Menglin over.
Luo Menglin is a medical student and has learned this kind of knowledge before. "Early stage skin cancer often manifests as skin erythema, ulcers, local lumps and basal cell tumors..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zheyu showed his arm, "Mengmeng, help me see if this red spot is skin cancer."
Luo Menglin grabbed his arm and examined it carefully. "When did you develop this red spot?"
Xiao Zheyu said, "I don't remember. I've had it since I was a child."
Hearing this, Luo Menglin shook his arm away in disgust. "That should be your birthmark. If it was skin cancer, you would have been dead by now."
After that, she added some scientific knowledge: "The erythema of skin cancer usually grows on areas that are exposed to the sun for a long time, mostly on the face, neck and arms. There will be mild scaling and scabs. If the erythema is smooth and flat, it is most likely just a erythema."
"What I've said is all theoretical knowledge. If you want to confirm whether you have skin cancer, I suggest you go to a medical center for a check-up."
Li Yu'e was a little confused when she heard this. "The medical station is short of doctors and medicines. We went there without any treatment, but only to check if we have skin cancer. Those doctors probably won't help us check, right?"
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman suddenly thought of someone she hadn't contacted for a long time, Zhao Anqi.
"I'll go to the medical station tomorrow. It would be great if I could get a dermatologist. If not, everyone should pay attention to whether they have early symptoms of cancer!"
Li Yu'e nodded and said, "I'll go find some old friends I made in the past and see if they have any solutions."
…
The next morning, Xia Xiaoman finished her farm work, settled Maodan, and went to the military medical station. After asking around for a while, she finally found Zhao Anqi.
Zhao Anqi was a little surprised to see Xia Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, you're still alive! That's great! I didn't see your name on the list of survivors before, and I thought something happened to you."
In troubled times, it is very normal to say "You are still alive" to someone you haven't seen for a long time. Xia Xiaoman has become accustomed to it.
"Sister Anqi, I hope I didn't disturb your work by coming here?"
Zhao Anqi shook her head. "No, I was transferred to a clerical position. I'm not as busy as before."
"Transferred to do clerical work? Isn't the medical station short of nurses? Why were you transferred away?" Xia Xiaoman looked at her puzzled.
Zhao Anqi explained: "It is because of the shortage of nurses that I was transferred to train new nurses so that more nurses can take up their posts."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "So you've been promoted?"
"It doesn't matter whether you get promoted or not, we are all working for the country." Zhao Anqi changed the subject and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Xiaoman lowered her voice, "There is something I want to trouble you with. Sister Anqi, do you know any dermatologists?"
"What's wrong? Do you have a skin disease? What are the symptoms? Let me take a look for you." As she said that, Zhao Anqi stood up and wanted to go forward to help check Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "It's not a skin disease. No, it can be considered a skin disease. A friend of mine fainted yesterday and was sent to a medical station. The doctor there said she had skin cancer."
"The doctor at the medical center said there is no medicine to treat skin cancer. My friend didn't seek treatment after hearing that and went home to wait for death. So I came to ask you if there is any way to treat it."
Zhao Anqi was silent for a moment after hearing this. "There is indeed no medicine to treat skin cancer. Not to mention the medical station, there is none in our military region. But..."
She remembered something, stood up and walked to the door and looked around. Seeing no one, she closed the door and whispered, "I heard that the capital is researching a special medicine to treat skin cancer. You should ask your friend to take good care of her body. When the special medicine comes out, she may still be saved."
"Special medicine? Isn't cancer very difficult to cure? In the later stages, surgery may even be required? Can it be cured by just special medicine?"
Zhao Anqi explained: "Ordinary medicines will definitely not work, so the capital needs to develop special medicines."
Xia Xiaoman wanted to ask if the capital had predicted that many people would get skin cancer in the future, so they developed a special medicine for skin cancer. But she didn't ask in the end.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell my friend."
After that, she looked at Zhao Anqi and said, "Sister Anqi, can you help me see if I have skin cancer?"
Zhao Anqi waved her hands repeatedly. "I can't see. If you want to know if you have skin cancer, I can introduce someone to you. Hu Ying lives in the 7th row on the right side of the entrance to the garrison. She is a lady in her forties."
"She comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and has been learning Chinese medicine since she was a child. She can treat most diseases, including skin diseases. You can go see her."
Xia Xiaoman was stunned when she heard this, "If she is so powerful, why doesn't the medical station invite her to see a doctor?"
Zhao Anqi sighed, "She doesn't want to cooperate with Western medicine. I heard that when she was young, she was deceived by a boyfriend who studied Western medicine. He almost took away the medical books inherited from her family. Since then, she has disliked Western medicine."
Both ordinary and military medical stations have Western doctors. Hu Ying is stubborn and refuses to stay with Western doctors, but she insists on saving lives and opens a small clinic.
They didn't waste their skills, they couldn't just force people to go to the medical station. But the people at the medical station were also very cunning, and when they encountered some difficult and complicated cases or were too busy, they would push the patients to Hu Ying.
After Xia Xiaoman found out Hu Ying's address, she thanked Zhao Anqi and went directly to Hu Ying's clinic.
When she arrived at the clinic, she saw more than a dozen people queuing outside the clinic, so she lined up behind them. After waiting for more than an hour, it was her turn.
Xia Xiaoman sat on a stool and, following Hu Ying's instructions, stretched out her left hand and placed it on a piece of cotton cloth.
While feeling the patient's pulse, Hu Ying asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Doctor, please help me check if I have skin cancer."
Hu Ying glanced at her and said, "Switch to your right hand."
Xia Xiaoman put her right hand on it obediently. After a while, Hu Ying asked her to stick out her tongue and then pulled her eyelids.
"I don't have skin cancer, but my liver fire is a bit strong. I've been eating less spicy food and drinking more water recently."
