Chapter 15 You have diabetes!



The Xiangyang Community Senior Dance Team won the second place in last year's Shenzhen Senior Dance Competition.

Not only are there uniform dance team costumes and props, but there is also a small minibus that can accommodate 19 people donated by the dance team leader's wife as a means of transportation for the dance team to travel to competitions.

The fish maw, poria and hen soup we had yesterday afternoon was so fragrant and delicious that many people couldn't sit still just by smelling the aroma.

As soon as the delicious and slightly sweet chicken soup goes down your throat...

Oops! Eight or nine people in the elderly dance team were wiped out.

They were really...thinking about the chicken soup when they went home to eat, thinking about it when they were dancing in the square, and even thinking about the taste of the chicken soup when they were sleeping and dreaming!

Even many people who didn't care much about food in the past started to salivate.

So a group of old men and women who had drunk the chicken soup and smelled the fragrance, with big dark circles under their eyes, dragged their spouses, had breakfast, and eagerly took the minibus to the Sixth Hospital Clinic. If the Sixth Hospital Clinic had not started working at 8 o'clock, a group of people really wanted to dig Su Tang out of bed in the middle of the night.

Register, go upstairs, and sit in the waiting area.

The old men and women who come to the Sixth Hospital for physical examinations and medical treatment every year are very familiar with this operation.

A dozen or so silver-haired old men and women were sitting in the same area in the waiting area, talking to each other in low voices. They looked quite conspicuous.

Director Wang and Deputy Director Luo of the Department of Geriatrics, who came to work in a hurry, looked at each other and greeted each other with false courtesy.

But I also immediately saw the familiar figures with white hair in the waiting area.

Many of the senior citizen dance team members are old patients of Director Wang and Deputy Director Luo, who come here for medical consultation every year.

Nowadays, hospitals all emphasize service with a smile, especially for patients who have been coming here for treatment for several years in a row. Director Wang and Deputy Director Luo habitually go up to greet them.

When Deputy Director Luo saw Master Jiang, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey, Master, are you and your wife here for a medical consultation or a follow-up checkup today?"

As patients of the geriatric department of the Sixth Hospital, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang come to the Sixth Hospital three or four times almost every year. Over the past four or five years, Deputy Director Luo has become very familiar with Mr. Jiang.

"Today is considered a follow-up check-up... right?" Mr. Jiang smiled, a little hesitant.

In fact, he didn't know whether prescribing medicated food was considered a medical consultation or a follow-up examination...

However, Deputy Director Luo did not notice this hesitation at all, and said with a cheerful smile: "Okay, please sit here for a while, and I will take a closer look at you when we get back to the clinic."

Mr. Jiang was stunned: "Ah...?"

Something seems wrong?

Mr. Jiang blinked, and after about thirty or forty seconds, he finally digested what Deputy Director Luo had said.

Mr. Jiang wanted to explain: "Ah... No, I'm not..." I'm going to see you for medical treatment today...

But before he could finish his words, Deputy Director Luo, who thought he had already greeted him, smiled and waved his hand, and hurried to the clinic.

Mr. Jiang: “…………”

On the other side, there are several other people in the elderly dance team who receive similar treatment to Grandpa Jiang. These are the old men and women who have been seeing Director Wang for many years.

However, Director Wang was just thinking in his heart that the old patient came to see him again.

He just said hello politely, nodded with a smile, put his hands behind his back and walked towards his own independent clinic with the intern.

Mr. Jiang: “…………”

He always felt that there was something wrong with Director Wang's expression, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Mr. Jiang scratched his head and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway."

Now Xiao Su’s medicinal diet is still important.

Old Master Jiang licked his slightly dry lips. He and his wife had already decided before coming to the Sixth Hospital that they had to prepare a prescription early and go to the market to buy vegetables.

I don’t know what kind of medicinal recipe Xiao Su will prescribe for him, pork ribs or chicken and duck?

The fish is good too...

I heard that carp tastes sweet, can nourish the spleen and stomach, and relieve cough and reduce gas.

Mandarin fish tastes sweet and can replenish blood and qi, strengthen the spleen, moisten the lungs and nourish the stomach...

Old Master Jiang smacked his lips, as if he could still taste the delicious aroma of the pepper, poria and old hen soup he had last night. It would have been even better if it was chicken soup.

If Xiao Su prescribed this medicinal diet recipe later, he would go back and drink two more bowls.

Mr. Jiang sighed in his heart and felt a little regretful. He stared closely at the big screen rolling on the wall.

If Su Tang had not made it clear yesterday that this medicinal diet was different from other ones and therefore had to be prescribed according to each person's physical condition, he would have wanted to sit directly in the clinic and order what he wanted to eat.

"Ding Dong, please ask patient ST01 to go to clinic room 351."

As the big screen on the wall rolled to Su Tang's name, the outpatient broadcast in the waiting area sounded immediately. Old Mrs. Zhou, holding the No. 01 card with Su Tang's initials, immediately patted the non-existent dust on her clothes, and walked towards the No. 351 clinic with her husband, smiling.

Only Mr. Jiang and others were left looking on with envy, hoping that it would be their turn soon.

…………

Su Tang called the number.

The door of the clinic was pushed open, and an old man and woman with gray hair came in immediately. They were the Grandma Zhou and her husband who were sitting at the door of Su's clinic and chatting with Fang Guihua yesterday.

The old lady had her hair permed into fashionable little waves and was wearing a loose, casual, breathable linen summer outfit. She looked at Su Tang with a smile.

The old man stood behind the old lady with a cane, also looking at this familiar young person in the community with a smile.

"The chicken soup last night was really delicious. Xiao Su, just show me and your Grandpa Zhou the recipe for the fish maw and poria soup. Anyway, it's for conditioning the middle-aged and elderly, and I think this one is pretty good." Old Mrs. Zhou was a straightforward person. As soon as she sat down, she immediately said familiarly, "The weather has been hot these days, and your Grandpa Zhou has a poor appetite. After drinking the chicken soup yesterday, he ate half a bowl of rice when he got home. He was so happy."

After all, these patients were attracted by the medicinal food. Unlike ordinary patients who came to the hospital to introduce their own conditions, Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou were attracted by the delicious medicinal food. Their first reaction was to tell them what kind of medicinal food they wanted to eat.

Instead of coming to the hospital as usual and telling about your physical condition.

"Although the fish maw, tuckahoe and hen soup tastes delicious, I have many other medicinal recipes to stimulate the appetite."

Su Tang winked at the old lady cheerfully, "Since we are here, why don't you let me take Grandpa Zhou's pulse first? Grandpa Zhou is number 2, which means he is right behind you."

"Okay."

It was neither a blood test nor an X-ray. When Mrs. Zhou heard that there was a better appetite-stimulating recipe, she happily made way for her seat.

Old Master Zhou looked energetic, smiling cheerfully with his eyes narrowed into two thin slits. Su Tang carefully checked his pulse and asked if he had been feeling unwell recently.

As the saying goes, "Observe, smell, ask and feel", whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine.

Even with the rapid development of modern technology, various auxiliary diagnostic and treatment methods have emerged one after another, but the four diagnoses are still the most important basic guidelines for all doctors to determine the cause of the disease when seeing a patient.

"I can eat, sleep, and occasionally dance square dance. I'm fine on weekdays. There's nothing wrong with me. It's just that my stomach is not very good as I get older. I don't like to eat much in the summer. Also, some of my teeth are loose. When you prescribe medicine and diet for me, you have to give me a recipe that will soften the teeth." Old Man Zhou smiled, with one hand on the table and the other hand leaning on a crutch. He didn't look like he was coming to the hospital for a medical checkup at all, but rather like he was coming to the zoo to see monkeys.

Seeing that Master Zhou had been looking at her with a slightly cloudy look since she entered the room, Su Tang sighed inwardly, and then carefully checked her pulse and said in a serious tone: "Master, you can't do this. You say you are good in every way, but aren't you just trying to fool me?"

"Your tongue is tender red with a thin white coating, and your pulse is weak and rapid. Look at your complexion and the serious dark circles under your eyes. It is obvious that your Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, your heart yin is deficient, and your Qi is stagnant. You are only 68 years old and you are already using a cane. Your legs must not be in good condition. According to the manifestations of Qi stagnation, you must have back pain, weak legs, and frequent urination at night."

Su Tang chattered, pointing at the two thermoses in Grandma Zhou's hands: "It only takes about half an hour to get from our community to the Sixth Hospital. Ordinary people don't bring thermoses when they come to the hospital. Look at Grandma Zhou's two thermoses. She has drunk most of the dark blue one. And look at the sweat stains on your neck..."

"We have central air conditioning in our hospital, and now the subway and buses also have air conditioning. The bus stop is 20 meters away from the entrance of the Sixth Hospital. In addition, although it is hot during the day, it is still relatively cool at 7 or 8 o'clock. How can an ordinary person sweat so much along the way? Even the collar of your clothes is wet with sweat..."

Su Tang frowned slightly, and her fair and tender face became serious. She said firmly, "So I think you not only have back pain, weak legs, and frequent urination at night, but also coronary heart disease and diabetes, right?"

"Even then, you still told me that I can eat anything. Aren't you just trying to fool me? You shouldn't have drunk the chicken soup yesterday!"

Su Tang's voice is as soft and cotton candy as cotton candy, but she always has a stern face and a serious expression like a stinky stone.

Patients with diabetes and coronary heart disease should not only not eat high-sugar foods, but also high-cholesterol and high-fat foods. They should also try their best to avoid spicy, hot and irritating foods, and high-salt foods.

For example, the fish maw, poria and hen soup we had yesterday contained not only starchy foods like yam, but also high-sugar foods like candied dates, which are not suitable for Mr. Zhou's situation at all.

"Well……"

Old Master Zhou froze for a moment. He didn't expect that Doctor Su could diagnose so much without him saying anything.

Ma Jun, who was sitting there bored and without any patients, was almost dumbfounded, while Pan Yuhao was also full of surprise and was a little absent-minded during the consultation.

Coronary heart disease and diabetes? !

Can that be easily seen from the pulse signs? !

How did my new colleague figure out that the person had coronary heart disease and diabetes in just a few minutes?

Diabetes is fine, but coronary heart disease... that is a disease that can usually only be seen when it breaks out!

Ma Jun stood up and walked to Su Tang's desk, trying to seize the learning opportunity cleverly like a trainee.

The patient who was being examined by Pan Yuhao also reacted. He tugged at Pan Yuhao's arm and said with a wry smile, "Doctor, you two are from the same office anyway. How about letting the female doctor take a look at me?"

Pan Yuhao, who was just watching the show: "????"

Can there still be a little basic trust between doctors and patients?
