Chapter 127 Too Young to Trust
A patient arrived, and Yun Qiao quickly responded, "Yes. The doctor is home."
She put on a white coat and came out from the inner room. She found that the person who came was an old lady who looked familiar. She should be the family member of an old soldier who had retired from the company.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you a doctor?" The old lady looked Yun Qiao up and down with a suspicious look, her eyes full of distrust.
Yun Qiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am the doctor."
"How can you go to the hospital when you are so young?" The old lady couldn't help but wonder.
The smile on Yun Qiao's face faded. After all, it was normal for young doctors to not be trusted.
Because in traditional thinking, the older a doctor is, the more experience he has in treating patients and the more skilled he is. What can a young person understand?
This is the patient's most basic thinking pattern. This distrust is directed at the entire group of young doctors, not just doubts about her personal medical skills.
So it’s okay to have temporary distrust. Just keep a positive attitude and treat the patient well, and try to gain the patient’s trust as soon as possible.
Yun Qiao was neither anxious nor discouraged. He smiled and said to the old lady, "Whether it's right or not, you'll know if you try it."
"Then let's try it." The old lady said half-believingly.
Yun Qiao asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's not me who's treating the disease. I'm in very good health and have no discomfort anywhere." The old lady said, "It's my daughter-in-law."
"Then why didn't your daughter-in-law come?" Yun Qiao said, "Without her presence, I can't provide remote medical treatment."
"I know, I just came to ask first." The old lady asked: "Young comrade, can you take a pulse?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes."
"Is that woman pregnant? How long has she been pregnant? Is it a boy or a girl? Can you tell that by taking her pulse?"
"Auntie, I can tell if you're pregnant by taking your pulse, but I can't tell the duration of pregnancy or the gender of the baby." Yun Qiao laughed dumbly and explained, "It's easy to tell if you're pregnant by taking your pulse. After pregnancy, your blood flow increases by about 20 milliseconds compared to an average person, so your pulse beats stronger than normal. This is scientifically based. However, it's difficult to tell the duration of pregnancy and the sex of the fetus by pulse. Usually, other methods are used."
The old lady said disappointedly, "If you don't want to be pregnant, then don't be pregnant. Why do you say you can't tell? I heard that there's an old Chinese doctor who can tell the gender of the baby just by taking the pulse."
Yun Qiao smiled awkwardly: "How about you ask someone else?"
It is not ruled out that there are masters of high moral character who can tell the gender of a baby by taking the pulse, but she is definitely not a man.
"If it were back home, we could probably find one. But here, there's not even a clinic in every village. Where can I find someone to ask for advice?" The old woman complained briefly, then couldn't help asking, "Young comrade, you just mentioned another way to tell the gender of a baby. What method is that? My eldest daughter-in-law has already given birth to three daughters, and I want to know if she's having a boy this time."
Yun Qiao said: "The duration of pregnancy is generally calculated by the time when menstruation ends. The sex of the fetus can be determined through B-ultrasound."
"Green... grass? What kind of grass is that?" The old lady looked at him blankly. "Why haven't I heard of it?"
Yun Qiao patiently explained, "Auntie, it's not 'bicao', it's 'B-ultrasound'. The 'B' in 'ABC', and the 'ultrasound' in 'ultrasound'."
"B...Ultrasound? What is that?"
The old lady didn't understand, so she simply stopped listening and asked directly, "Young comrade, just tell me, do you have this thing called B-ultrasound here?"
