Chapter 264 A Man's Dignity
When Jiang Ning arrived at the hospital, the medical staff told her to go directly to the examination room.
When Jiang Ning arrived at the consultation room, both Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü were there.
Lying on the small bed in the examination room was a child. The child's lips were pale, and he had fallen unconscious with his eyes closed. His hands, which were resting on his sides, twitched occasionally.
Jiang Ning came to the bedside and sighed at the child's breathing, which was irregular.
Symptoms of respiratory failure, and it is acute.
The child's mother was crying her eyes out.
The doctor who received this child today was Dr. Liu.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning arrive, Dr. Liu immediately said, "This child's illness is wind-heat in the lungs. The child has been coughing, coughing up phlegm, and experiencing fever and sweating for three months. These past two days, the child coughed up blood and fell into a coma, which is why the parents brought the child to the hospital."
Dr. Liu's diagnosis was correct. If the child had been brought to the hospital for treatment earlier when symptoms appeared, the condition would not have become so serious.
Many people think that some illnesses will get better if left untreated, so they don't see a doctor or take any medicine.
This delay caused a common ailment to become serious.
The child's immune system was too weak, and the delay not only caused him to cough up blood and fall into a coma, but also led to respiratory failure. Fortunately, the hospital had always kept the "life-saving pills" made by Jiang Ning.
When Dr. Liu saw that the child was experiencing respiratory failure, he immediately administered pills to temporarily save the child's life.
If the child's mother had arrived even a moment later, or if Dr. Liu hadn't given him the life-saving pill, the child might have...
After listening to Dr. Liu's words, Jiang Ning quickly took the silver needles. Acute respiratory failure requires acupuncture therapy.
After taking out the silver needles, Jiang Ning asked Dr. Liu to bring over the cupping jars.
Jiang Ning took silver needles and used them to perform acupuncture on the child's Fengmen, Dazhui and other acupoints, and then applied cupping after removing the needles.
After the acupuncture needles were applied to the acupoints, the child's convulsions subsided.
After the cupping was done, the child woke up.
In response to the child's symptoms, Jiang Ning wrote three prescriptions and asked the child's mother to get the medicine.
One formula replenishes qi and blood, another clears heat and resolves phlegm, and yet another invigorates blood and removes blood stasis.
Dr. Liu is quite skilled in acupuncture now; the key is this prescription.
Any prescription written by Dr. Jiang is practically priceless to Dr. Liu and his team.
The child's mother thanked Jiang Ning repeatedly, and then followed Dr. Liu, who had taken the prescription, to get the medicine.
As Jiang Ning was packing up to leave after the treatment, she suddenly heard voices outside.
The man's voice was rather loud, "Dr. Jiang is at the hospital, and I made an appointment in advance. Why won't you let me bring my wife to see the doctor?"
A medical staff member's voice came through, "Your appointment is for tomorrow, and there are other patients ahead of you in line. Please respect the patients ahead of you, okay?"
The man said, "I don't care about the time. Since Dr. Jiang is at the hospital, what's wrong with having her examine my wife now?"
The conversation was right at the door, making it hard for Jiang Ning to ignore.
She opened the door to the consultation room with a gentle smile on her face. "Come in."
The man was immediately pleased when Jiang Ning let him in.
As I entered the examination room, I even gave the medical staff a push.
The medical staff member stumbled slightly from the push, but seeing that Dr. Jiang had let the patient into the examination room, the staff member didn't say anything more, greeted Jiang Ning, and was about to leave.
As she was about to leave, Jiang Ning suddenly called out to her.
Let her follow you into the consultation room to organize the documents inside.
The other party did not refuse and followed him into the consultation room to organize the documents.
Jiang Ning first took a stack of pharmacology data, then briefly explained how to organize it before looking at the patient who had already sat down.
The person who came to see the doctor was not the man who was yelling and shouting, but his wife.
Jiang Ning's gaze fell on the young woman who looked to be around thirty years old. Before she could speak, the woman said her name somewhat awkwardly, "Doctor, I... my name is Tan Mei."
Jiang Ning nodded and said gently, "Let me see your registration slip."
Before Tan Mei could hand over the registration slip, the man beside her said impatiently, "What are you looking at? My wife has been with me for three years and still can't have a son. Doctor, please examine my wife and see what's wrong with her!"
Tan Mei knew her husband was an impatient person, and she felt guilty towards her husband's family for not being able to conceive, so she rarely showed any temper in front of him.
Tan Mei handed the registration slip to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning glanced at it, then looked up at the couple in front of her.
Tan Mei had a rosy complexion and appeared perfectly normal.
In contrast, her husband's eyes looked somewhat dull, his eyes were puffy, and he had a large dark circle under his eyes.
His mood seemed a bit off; he had only been sitting for a short while when he became restless, fidgeting with his hands and shaking his legs.
This is a sign of kidney deficiency.
Jiang Ning questioned Tan Mei for a while, and then asked her to put her hand on the table so she could take her pulse.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation.
After asking a few questions, Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
The man had been watching the doctor examine his wife closely. As soon as Jiang Ning finished taking her pulse, he immediately asked, "Doctor, how is it? What's wrong with my wife's health? Is she able to get pregnant or give birth? If she can't, won't our family line end?"
He spoke bluntly, showing that he didn't care about his wife's health at all, and only cared about whether she could give birth.
Jiang Ning confirmed that Tan Mei's body was fine. She looked up at the man and pointed to the cloth bag used for taking pulses. "Put your hand on this."
"What are you doing? You want to examine me again? Or is it that I can't have children?"
The man muttered to himself, but obediently placed his hand on the pulse-taking cloth bag; he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
Jiang Ning had already examined his facial features. When taking his pulse, she asked him to stick out his tongue.
The man sticks out his tongue, which has a white coating and cracks.
Jiang Ning lowered her eyes, and this made the man nervous.
No... could it be that there's something wrong with him?
That's impossible. Whether or not a woman can have children is her own business. What does it have to do with him?
Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "How often do you two usually share a room?"
Hearing her ask such a direct question made the woman blush deeply, and the man's expression also became somewhat unnatural.
Finally, it was Tan Mei who answered, "Almost every day."
"But how long can sex last once a day?" Jiang Ning asked again, "And how often?"
She hadn't expected the doctor to ask these questions, and she couldn't help but scrutinize Jiang Ning's expression.
The other person looks so young, how come they aren't embarrassed at all when talking about having sex?
Tan Mei was shy, but the man's expression immediately changed.
After all, this is a matter of his male dignity!
Seeing that the other party did not intend to answer, Jiang Ning said, "If you want to know whether your family can have children, then answer my question seriously."
The man's expression still seemed somewhat reluctant to speak.
In the end, it was Tan Mei who answered.
"Just...go in...and that's it, about three or four times a day."
After saying that, she buried her head.
"Pfft—" Suddenly, someone next to me laughed.
The couple, including Jiang Ning, all turned their heads to look over.
The medical staff were facing away from them, heads down, seemingly very focused on organizing the data.
The couple thought they were hallucinating, but Jiang Ning's angle allowed her to see the medical staff's profiles.
The muscles on his face were twitching, as if he was trying his best to suppress a laugh.
Jiang Ning didn't expose them, and turned to look at the couple again.
This time, her question was directed at the man. She asked, "Do you usually experience symptoms such as lower back and knee pain, abnormal urination, or nocturia?"
Upon hearing these questions, the man's expression changed.
He matched all the symptoms the doctor described.
But he hesitated to nod.
Tan Mei blurted out, "Doctor, you're amazing! You diagnosed my husband's problem just by taking his pulse. He often experiences lower back and knee pain, and he frequently gets up at night, sometimes four or five times. Could this be some kind of illness?"
She had been worried that her husband was sick and had suggested that he go to the hospital for a check-up, but he had always refused.
