Chapter 128: I am moved by other people's love every day
"Then where are they from?" Su Tang understood the implication of Mrs. Zhou's words and asked subconsciously.
She didn't expect that it had only been three months and even patients from other places would come to her.
Although she had treated Wei Yan and others before, it was more or less a coincidence. Firstly, these people were already desperate, and secondly, most of them were people she had met before and came to recommend themselves.
"Well, my sister and brother-in-law used to live in the Northern Province." Old Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears, stopped sobbing, and hurriedly introduced Su Tang and her sister and brother-in-law to each other.
It turns out that the old man who rushed over from the northern province is named Sun, he is 74 years old this year, and the old lady is also 72 years old.
The other two young people who came with her were Mrs. Zhou's grandsons.
"Police, doctor... I'm really sorry. It was our mistake before. We failed to take good care of the elderly and caused trouble for you." Zhou Dongxu touched his pocket and instinctively wanted to take out two cigarettes to hand them to the police and Su Tang and others who sent them here. However, when he reached into his trouser pocket, he found that both the cigarette box and the cigarettes had been soaked by the heavy rain. He could only throw the things into the trash basket next to him.
"As long as we find the person, everything else is trivial. But your family is too careless... Since we know that the old lady doesn't recognize people and can't remember addresses, you should at least make a small iron plate with the phone number and hang it around her neck, or write the phone number on the back of her clothes. This will also make it easier for us to find her quickly."
The policewoman frowned, but then she remembered what Mrs. Zhou had just introduced. She knew that the man in front of her was not a direct descendant of the Sun family, so she changed the subject and asked, "Where are the other family members of the old couple? Why didn't the parents come to Shenzhen for medical treatment, and the children didn't come with them?"
"I didn't let them come with us. I was busy at home and my two children are in their third year of high school this year...I didn't let that guy and his wife follow us..." Grandpa Sun calmed down now, stood up and explained to the police officer Su Tang and others.
Su Tang nodded, and finally understood the whole thing.
It turned out that Grandpa Sun and his wife used to live in the Northern Province, thousands of kilometers away from Shenzhen.
Because there is a senior high school student who needs to be taken care of at home, and the adults need to go to work, Grandpa Sun thought about bringing his wife to Shenzhen for medical treatment. Anyway, there are relatives living in Shenzhen, so everything will be easy once they arrive in Shenzhen.
Unexpectedly, when the car arrived at the station in the early morning, Mrs. Sun got lost at the station.
The typhoon had not arrived yet. They called the police and searched for a long time, and checked the station surveillance. Only then did they discover that the old lady had somehow followed the crowd of people in the early morning and got on the bus by herself. The bus driver saw that the old lady was old and had a lot of white hair, following the crowd, and there was no difference between her and a normal person. He just thought she was an ordinary old person with a senior citizen card and drove away.
After that, the police helped to search, but the typhoon brought heavy rain and the police had to rescue other disaster victims. They were unable to send more police officers to search for the missing elderly alone, so the family only found Grandma Sun now.
Grandpa Sun looked haggard, and it was obvious that he had been nervous and exhausted during the past ten hours.
"It's okay, Grandpa Sun, please sit down first. I just checked on Grandma Sun, she didn't suffer any injuries, and she just had an injection of insulin. I'll prescribe some calming soup for her first, and she can drink it for two days, and then I'll prescribe some prescriptions for treating diabetes..." Su Tang sat at the treatment table and talked about the old lady's condition with Grandpa Sun and others.
Since the old man had traveled thousands of kilometers by high-speed rail to come to Shenzhen to see her for diabetes treatment, it was natural for her to write a prescription for him.
As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. As a doctor, all she can do is to help patients recover as much as possible.
"However, Grandma Sun's diabetes cannot be cured by just one prescription. We probably have to change the prescription depending on the patient's condition. So for the next half month to a month, it would be best for Grandpa Sun to live in Shenzhen with Grandma to avoid running back and forth." Su Tang suggested as he lowered his head to write the prescription.
"Of course, of course, we know this." Grandpa Sun nodded. He had considered that he and his wife would probably stay in Shenzhen for more than ten or twenty days, so he did not let the children come with them. Not many companies can accept employees taking such a long period of consecutive leave.
Grandpa Sun sighed, his expression was a little depressed, and even his back was a little hunched. He didn't expect that something like this would happen when he brought his wife to Shenzhen.
Several policemen checked the identity information with Grandpa Sun and did a simple registration.
He looked at the depressed Mr. Sun and his sons and others and said a few words of comfort, reminding them to take good care of Mrs. Sun. Then he turned around and rushed into the typhoon again to help other citizens in need.
Su Tang wrote a prescription for diabetes and wanted to talk to Grandpa Sun about Alzheimer's disease.
However, Grandma Sun, who had been sleeping on a folding bed nearby, woke up at this moment.
Old Mrs. Sun looked at the doctors, nurses, and strangers surrounding her, shrank her neck, her face full of fear and tension, and muttered, "Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang? Didn't you say you would take me to see Xiang Xiang? I don't want to stay here... I don't want to stay here..."
A slight movement appeared on the folding bed. Grandpa Sun immediately stopped talking to Su Tang about his wife's condition and hurried to the folding bed next to him. He held Grandma Sun's hands and said softly: "Lixiang, I'm here, I'm here... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
"…………" Su Tang blinked and subconsciously moved her dry throat.
She originally thought it was Grandma Sun's child, but she didn't expect it to be Grandpa Sun's son's name.
The other people around them subconsciously followed the direction of the sound and looked towards Grandpa Sun and his wife, with sighs in their hearts.
"Oh, I didn't expect that today would be another day that I would be moved by other people's love..." The young nurse wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and murmured.
Su Tang sighed, and said, "Who is not?"
This was the case with Ye Shuang and his wife before, and it is also the case with Sun Laoye and his wife now.
But just when everyone thought that Grandma Sun would calm down because of Grandpa Sun's words.
Old Madam Sun's brows were wrinkled and twisted constantly, her black and white eyes were full of doubts. She looked at Grandpa Sun while struggling and muttering, "Liar, liar... You are not Xiang Xiang, you are not... Xiang Xiang is so young, how could he grow up like you? You have a wrinkled face, it's not Xiang Xiang at all, no."
Grandma Sun's foolish struggle wasn't particularly strong, but her words were truly heartbreaking.
Several girls around almost had tears in their eyes, and when they saw Grandpa Sun still holding Grandma Sun's hand and comforting her affectionately, they almost broke down on the spot.
But Grandpa Sun's persuasion, which used to be effective in the past, was particularly ineffective this time. Perhaps because she was too stimulated during the day, Grandma Sun struggled harder and harder, her facial features all wrinkled into a ball, and she shouted, "Let go, let go...don't you think about it..."
Grandma Sun struggled and even wanted to get up, get out of bed and leave the hospital. Two nurses next to her wanted to help Grandpa Sun stop her movements, but they were afraid that the force would be too great and hurt the other party.
It was just that it was late at night, and not to mention wandering around and disturbing other people's rest, there were many places in the emergency department that outsiders were not allowed to enter at will.
For example, it was a very windy day outside and it was raining heavily. Grandma Sun was brought to the hospital from the storm by the police. How could they just let an old lady wander around?
"Let me go, let me go...you bad man, let me go." Old Mrs. Sun was so anxious that she burst into tears and wanted to leave.
"Lixiang, I'm just thinking about it, I'm just thinking about it... Look at me, look at me..." Grandpa Sun was also sad, his eyes were red and tears rolled down.
Everyone present saw this and was moved.
Su Tang frowned and took two steps forward. Although massage and acupressure can cure diseases and relieve pain, they cannot calm an excited person instantly, nor can they calm a sad person.
Fortunately, Grandma Sun is just like a child. I think she can be coaxed to sleep as long as she feels comfortable.
"Grandpa Sun, please move aside, I will come to comfort her..." Su Tang patted Grandpa Sun's arm, asking him to make room. Then she half-knelt down and pinched Grandma Sun's acupuncture points while coaxing her: "Grandma, Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang will be here soon... He is on the way. Let's just wait for him here, okay?"
Su Tang kneaded the Shenmen acupoint on the old lady Sun's wrist to treat palpitations and improve her spirit. At the same time, she kneaded the Sanyinjiao acupoint on the old lady's ankle to calm her mind... Su Tang's fingers kneaded back and forth rhythmically, and her voice was gentle with a unique rhythm, soothing the old lady with both hands.
Maybe it was because Su Tang had left some memories of massaging the old lady's fingers before, or maybe Su Tang's massaging was really very comfortable, old lady Sun hummed and stopped talking, just sat quietly on the folding bed, looking at her curiously with her clear black and white eyes.
Grandpa Sun saw his wife slowly calm down. He sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "Two years ago, she was only forgetful and remembered the people at home... But this year, I didn't expect that she even forgot me."
If this continues... he doesn't know how long his wife can hold on.
Alzheimer's disease is divided into three stages: early, middle and late. At first, it is just a decline in memory. You will quickly forget what you just said and what happened, but other memories will not be a problem. But as the disease progresses, you will gradually get lost, have difficulty expressing yourself, and have personality changes. The grandson looked at his wife, who now has the mentality of a child and whose memory has obviously returned to decades ago, and couldn't help crying.
Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou and their husband also looked sad.
Su Tang looked at Grandma Sun who had calmed down, and stood up: "Grandpa, actually I wanted to tell you just now... In addition to diabetes, I can also try Alzheimer's disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is called deficiency syndrome. Although it cannot be cured, acupuncture can be used to stimulate the acupoints to wake up the brain and open up the mind. In addition, Huangtian Buxin Dan may improve Grandma Sun's condition."
Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou turned around in confusion: "......?"
Xiao Su can actually treat Alzheimer's disease?
"Doctor, is what you said... true?" Grandpa Sun wiped away his tears and asked carefully, "Then to what extent can it be recovered?"
"It's hard to say to what extent it can be treated... the human brain is too complicated." Su Tang frowned and thought for a while: "I can't guarantee anything 100%."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Sun sighed and felt a little disappointed: "Oh, so that's it..."
Doctors from other hospitals have previously said that this disease can be slowly cured, but there has been little improvement.
However, just as Grandpa Sun was feeling lost, he heard the female doctor in a white coat beside him touch her chin, think for a moment and say seriously: "But if everything goes well, there should be no problem taking care of yourself in daily life..."
Su Tang thinks seriously and takes care of herself simply. She doesn't need to remember the date, day of the week, etc. It doesn't matter if she is a little forgetful.
The patient only needs to be able to feed and dress himself and have simple and normal communication with his family. It would be even better if he can remember his current home address and stay with his relatives without getting lost.
As long as I can get rid of the current situation where I don’t know anyone, this disease will be mostly cured!
Grandpa Sun was surprised and his eyes widened: "......?!!"
What did she just say? What did the doctor in front of me just say?
Grandpa Sun even suspected that he was hallucinating!
Wu Man had been sitting in the emergency department lobby, on a chair next to the No. 13 treatment table. With her black and white pupils, she stared at Su Tang and the others quietly. Because it was quiet at night, Wu Man could even vaguely hear the conversation between Su Tang and Grandpa Sun and the others...
If even Alzheimer's disease has a chance of recovery, doesn't her husband have a better chance...?
"Doctor, Doctor Su... are you telling the truth?" Grandpa Sun trembled and excitedly grasped Su Tang's hands and said, "Doctor, you must help us!"
Without any hesitation, Grandpa Sun almost immediately chose to believe Dr. Su recommended by his aunt! He felt that his aunt should not be wrong, and Dr. Su had comforted his wife before!
"In that case... I'll give Grandma Sun acupuncture first to check on her condition." Su Tang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll see if she can be hospitalized... For a condition like Grandma Sun, it's definitely not possible to stay at home for treatment. It's not convenient to go back and forth every morning and evening."
"Okay! Then go to the hospital!" Old Mrs. Zhou, Old Grandpa Sun and others immediately nodded their heads.
I saw that the doctor and the patient made an appointment for hospitalization so quickly.
A large crowd of onlookers, including the two doctors at table 12, subconsciously looked at Su Tang in surprise.
Especially the two attending doctors at treatment table No. 12. Although their expressions did not change much, they could not help but complain crazily in their hearts.
Are there any drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease? Yes! There are even several kinds!
However, drugs that can improve cognitive function, such as cholesterase inhibitors, can do this, but it depends on the individual, and most of them need to be taken for a long time to achieve slight improvements.
For example: The patient would originally forget 50 words a year, but after taking this medicine, she would only forget 30 words a year. However, it is almost impossible for her to recall the 50 words she forgot last year!
Especially when the condition of Grandma Sun is so serious, she wants to recover to the point where she can take care of herself in daily life? Is this a joke?!
The villains in the hearts of the two attending physicians turned green, and they fully suspected that there were duds in the examination team that applied for the Sixth Hospital in the past two years. Because the supervisors were too nearsighted, they accepted this guy who was slacking off and didn't even know he had tried, into the revolutionary team of the Sixth Hospital!
However, just as the two of them were cursing and complaining madly in their hearts, they didn't know what to do or whether they should stop it immediately.
Su Tang had already taken the silver needle and injected it into Grandma Sun!
In order to prevent the old lady from moving around, Su Tang asked two young nurses to stand by and watch, while she coaxed the old lady in a gentle voice and quickly took out the needle!
Refresh your mind, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, replenish qi and relieve stasis...
Every silver needle in Su Tang's hand was accurately inserted into the acupuncture points on the old lady's brain!
During this time, Grandma Sun wanted to reach out and pull out the silver needles on her head, but as more and more silver needles were inserted, streams of cold air flowed along the needle tips into her head.
Mrs. Sun, whose mind was originally a little confused, didn't know what was happening to her, but she suddenly seemed to clear up a little, as if the fog had been cleared away. Her hands involuntarily fell to her legs in an orderly manner.
The onlookers in the emergency room saw that the Alzheimer's patient who was about to remove the needle suddenly stopped...
Grandpa Sun was relieved to see this, although he estimated that this treatment might not be very effective.
After all, my wife's illness was very serious and had lasted for a long time.
But whenever he thought of what his cousin said, that Dr. Su could slowly cure even chronic diseases like diabetes, and that there was no need to take any blood sugar-lowering drugs, Grandpa Sun began to feel vaguely excited and look forward to the treatment results over the next period of time.
Just as Grandpa Sun was fantasizing in his heart whether his wife would recognize him again in the future.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar and cordial voice that I hadn't heard for a long, long time.
"Sun...Xiang? Sun Xiang?" Old Mrs. Sun's confused eyes cleared up for a moment, and she subconsciously saw her husband Sun Xiang, who was standing in the crowd and closest to her.
Old Madam Sun's voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were still a little dull, but her gaze was fixed on Old Man Sun, and she called out again in a low voice: "...Sun, do you want to?"
Grandpa Sun: “……?!!!!”
People around: "?!!!!!!"
Grandpa Sun came forward with tears streaming down his face: "Hey! Lixiang! Did you recognize me? You recognized me!"
"Don't, don't cry..." The old man stretched out his dry fingers and wiped the tears of Grandpa Sun. Grandma Sun had difficulty speaking.
Grandpa Sun nodded: "Okay, okay, I won't cry, I won't cry... No, no, I'm not crying! I'm happy! I'm happy!"
Seeing the interaction between Grandma Sun and Grandpa Sun, even though it was just a few simple words, the two attending doctors at the No. 12 clinic table were dumbfounded! Even the stethoscope that was hearing the patient was accidentally pressed on the patient's face.
The two of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
No! Do you talk about science and reason? ! !
Who the hell can treat such severe Alzheimer's disease with just a few needles and it works? ! !
