General Internal Medicine Inpatient Department.

At this moment, the three old men who had suffered a stroke in the corridor of the inpatient department have almost become a sight in the department.

These three people were surrounded by at least two family caregivers. At this moment, each of them had a cerebral thrombosis rehabilitation walker with small wheels under them, just like a toddler, slowly learning to walk again bit by bit.

Among them, Grandpa Cheng's condition was the most serious, but he was the first to receive treatment and is now the most stable of the three. He can walk slowly on his own with only the support of a walker and a little supervision from someone beside him.

Although Wu Zhongwei and Xie Fu were only hemiplegic, they arrived late. In addition, Xie Fu had been paralyzed for many years due to a stroke and had almost no strength in his leg muscles. Therefore, the two of them sat on the walker and tried to move forward with their legs, driving the four wheels of the rehabilitation walker.

It looks a bit like a wheelchair, but it is more powerful and stable than a wheelchair.

"Oh, I never thought that one day I would be able to...get out of bed and walk on my own..." After his symptoms of vital energy depletion were alleviated, Mr. Xie no longer thought about sleeping every day like before.

With the combined treatment of acupuncture, medicine and medicated diet, Mr. Xie's sequelae of subarachnoid hemorrhage have been largely cured. For example, his slurred speech has been greatly alleviated, and he can now have direct conversations with Xie Zhuokai and his mother. There is no need for Mr. Xie to talk for a long time before his mother and Xie Zhuokai can respond. In addition, his affected limb, which had been paralyzed for many years, can now move on its own, even if the amplitude is slightly smaller. Mr. Xie can now complete the most basic simple movements such as lifting his leg and combing his hair by himself.

"Yes, being able to get out of bed and walk is a good thing... The sequelae of a stroke are, it's like this..." Wu Zhongwei spoke haltingly, and his tongue even got a little tied when he got excited.

Like Mr. Xie, Mr. Wu still needs to continue treatment for the sequelae of his stroke, but he is now able to walk on his own with the help of his wife.

This is much better than when I first came to the hospital and had to be pushed in a wheelchair.

"My son was able to find Dr. Su and have his treatment... It's his luck, and it's also our luck..." Father Xie moved his fingers and sat on the rehabilitation walker. He didn't need help from others. When he was tired, he would rest for a while by the corridor of the department. After resting enough, he would move forward two steps.

The three of them recovered at about the same speed, and they were very harmonious.

Father Xie was a little out of breath from walking, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Wait, after I recover from this illness, I will invite you to go fishing. Fishing... I have several villas and yachts on the southern coast. I will invite you to go fishing!"

"Okay, okay! We'll all be together then!" Old Master Cheng smiled.

Three old men in the recovery stage of stroke paralysis sequelae, they stuttered, their speech was unclear, and their movements were much slower than those of ordinary people. But the three of them did not mind at all, and instead felt that it was a kind of fate that they could meet at the same time in the General Internal Medicine Department of the Sixth Hospital.

Although Xie's mother, Mrs. Wu and Cheng Yingxiang were about ten years apart in age, with several three-year generation gaps between them, when they saw their husbands like this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Coming to the Sixth Hospital to see Dr. Su to treat the sequelae of stroke paralysis was the best decision the three families made in the past 10 years!

………………

Little did Su Tang know that the three stroke patients quickly became her friends after they were able to walk around the corridor pushing their boosters.

She is currently in Wang Xiaomei's room, giving her acupuncture treatment.

As the saying goes: bones produce marrow, marrow produces essence, and essence produces blood.

Wang Xiaomei suffered spinal injuries, qi stagnation, blood stasis, and meridian obstruction after a car accident.

Therefore, she must first use acupuncture to stimulate the acupoints, activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge the meridians, and then replenish her essence①.

Use the prepared palace secret recipe - hot blood and fire-penetrating paste, to perform a second stimulation on the acupuncture points that have just been treated.

The hot blood and fire-clearing paste contains many blood-activating and stimulating drugs.

After this period of time, Su Tang could clearly feel that every time he gave Wang Xiaomei acupuncture, her pulse was stronger than the day before, her Qi and blood were more and more sufficient, and even her complexion was much better than before.

The pale face gradually turned rosy. Every day when Wang Yunyun turned her mother over, her mood was a little better than the day before.

"How is Doctor Su? Is my mother in better condition today than the previous two days?" Wang Yunyun looked at Su Tang eagerly. This has almost become Wang Yunyun's mantra when asking Su Tang every day.

Facing this kind of inquiry day after day, Su Tang was not impatient at all. She nodded and smiled and said, "Auntie Wang's condition is indeed much better than before. I estimate that her toes will be able to flex and extend slightly in the next two days. You can cooperate with your mother in the next two days... For example, you can shout slogans 123, sit next to Auntie Wang and encourage her to follow your slogans to practice flexion and extension of her toes."

Wang Xiaomei's high-level paralysis is somewhat different from Mr. Cheng's whole-body paralysis after a stroke.

Although the old man was paralyzed in all four limbs, when Su Tang took over, his toes and fingers could still flex and extend slowly on their own.

However, Wang Xiaomei's diameter was so small that she couldn't even move a small muscle.

Wang Yunyun's eyes lit up and she became even more excited: "Really?! Can my toes move in the next two days?!"

Since the car accident, her mother has been paralyzed from the waist down and her lower body has been unable to move. Her muscle tone is completely zero. Wang Yunyun has always been worried about whether her mother will be able to stand up again in the future.

Although my mother had no feeling in her lower body before, it gradually improved with Dr. Su's treatment. But this does not mean that she can recover to the point of standing up and walking with crutches.

"If I'm correct, it should be these two days..."

Su Tang touched his chin and thought for a moment: "If these two Tianwang aunts haven't shown any slight muscle movement yet, they should have it this week at the latest..."

"Mom, did you hear me?! Hurry, hurry! Let's try it now, let's try it now!" Wang Yunyun was so excited that she wanted to jump up in the room. Fortunately, she knew that this was a hospital, so she could only turn her attention to Wang Xiaomei's legs with excitement.

With hope in her heart, Wang Xiaomei looked at Su Tang and then at her daughter. Feeling encouraged by the gazes of the two people in the room, Wang Xiaomei tried to focus all her attention on her 10 toes, hoping to mobilize both toes.

This feeling is just like the yoga classes in the past, when the teacher asked us to focus our whole body attention on a certain part in order to mobilize its muscles.

once……

Twice...

three times……

Wang Xiaomei concentrated her attention and tried for three to five minutes in a row, but her ten toes remained motionless and her lower body remained lying quietly in the same place, without any sign of muscle movement.

Wang Xiaomei was a little disappointed, but Wang Yunyun was even more disappointed than Wang Xiaomei.

But soon Wang Yunyun cheered up and wanted to encourage her mother.

Dr. Su said that it would take two days to a week of training to be successful.

This is my first failure today, it’s totally normal!

However, just when Wang Yunyun was about to blurt out these words...

Su Tang, who had been standing beside the bed, suddenly spoke at this moment. She stared at Wang Xiaomei's legs and said, "Auntie Wang, try again."

"Hmm?" Wang Xiaomei was still a little confused in her heart, but her body was more obedient than she was.

Just when Su Tang instructed them to try again, Wang Xiaomei subconsciously exerted her strength to lift her legs and flex her toes. This time she put so much strength that a thin layer of sweat even seeped out on her forehead and her face was almost turning red!

My heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of my throat.

Wang Yunyun focused her eyes on her mother's legs, hoping to see a miracle this time.

But more than ten seconds passed...

There was no reaction at all in the mother's leg muscles...

"Mom..."

Wang Yunyun felt lost and worried. She looked at her mother worriedly, then cheered herself up again and tried to comfort her mother.

But Su Tang next to her suddenly bent down, holding a silver needle in her hand, and stabbed it into Wang Xiaomei's calf acupuncture point without hesitation!

While inserting the needle, Su Tang shouted, "Wang Xiaomei! Move your toes harder!"

"ah……?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Wang Xiaomei instinctively flicked her toes.

I saw that the big toes of both feet, which had been motionless the previous two times, were just like that, like that...

In front of Wang Yunyun and Su Tang, he moved forward!

The movement of the two big toes is not large, not even as large as the movement when Wang Yunyun turns Wang Xiaomei over every day to prevent bedsores.

But can the two be the same? !

There is clearly no comparison between the two!

The former is moving the muscles by oneself, while the latter is just like seaweed drifting with the flow. That is the force brought by Wang Yunyun when she turned over.

"Mom! You can move! Your toes can move!" Wang Yunyun's tears flowed down with excitement.

If Su Tang hadn't given Wang Xiaomei a lot of needles and applied ointments on many acupuncture points on her body, Wang Yunyun would have wanted to pounce directly on Wang Xiaomei!

"It's moving, it's really moving!" Wang Xiaomei also felt the toes moving, and the middle-aged woman's eyes instantly turned red.

"Thank you, Dr. Su. Thank you so much. Thank you for encouraging me and helping me with my treatment together with Yunyun. Otherwise, I would never have been able to recover to this extent." Wang Xiaomei's tears flowed down with excitement.

Su Tang patted Wang Yunyun on the shoulder, looked at Wang Xiaomei and said, "Auntie Wang, you don't have to be so polite. This is my responsibility as a doctor."

"Chickens, chicks, hens, hens..."

Just as Su Tang was comforting Wang Xiaomei and Wang Yunyun, the cell phone in her white coat began to hum. When Su Tang turned on the phone and answered it, she heard Du Chengzhang's familiar voice: "Doctor Su, we have already arrived at the Sixth Hospital. Do you think we should go directly to the inpatient department to see you, or wait for you in the general internal medicine clinic?"

Yesterday, Su Tang and Du Chengzhang agreed to see Wei Yan today, but Su Tang hoped that Wei Yan could come to the Sixth Hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.

If appropriate, Wei Yan would even be better off staying in the general internal medicine inpatient department.

In fact, according to the first time Su Tang met Wei Yan, as well as their second close contact in the car, and the pathological data submitted by Du Chengzhang.

Su Tang already had a pretty good understanding of Wei Yan's condition, so there was no problem in going directly to his home to treat him.

But……

Su Tang blinked. Why should she give the other party convenience?

Since you are seeing a doctor for treatment, it is normal to queue up for a physical examination.

Su Tang smiled like a fox: "You guys should come to the inpatient department. I'm on the day shift in the inpatient department today, not in the outpatient clinic."

"After Mr. Wei comes, shall I write him a test order first? After all, it is such a serious disease, everyone still needs to be cautious. There are more patients in the Sixth Hospital, so you may need to wait in a long line." Su Tang pretended to be apologetic.
