Chapter 35035 Severe Gastroptosis
The next day at noon, Shu Jinyue had just arrived home when Zhao Dayong came with his son, saying that he wanted to thank her and also to return the old sheets that he had taken home last night to wash.
Shu Jinyue didn't dare to take credit for it. The thing hadn't been done yet. It was hard to say whether his guess was correct or not. What if it was different from what he thought? Wouldn't that make people happy for nothing?
So, she politely declined the invitation from the Zhao father and son to have their whole family out for a meal, and instead Zhao Wanqiu invited them to her home for a meal.
Because of Liu Huifang's relationship, the meal could not be the same as usual. It happened that the rabbits had not been eaten yet, so Zhao Wanqiu stewed one.
Chop the rabbit meat, stir-fry it with onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns until golden oil comes out, add soup and stew it, then add potatoes, carrots and vermicelli. This is definitely a staple dish, and it fills up a large enamel basin when it comes out of the pot.
It was the same basin used for washing face, and the father and son of the Zhao family were drooling.
"This, this is too much." Zhao Dayong was very embarrassed. "We are here to thank your family, how come we are asking you to spend money?"
"It's okay. You are Huifang's senior brother, not an outsider. Just treat this place as your own home." What Zhao Wanqiu didn't say was that they didn't know what the disease was, and whether Jin Yue could help was another matter. How could they let Zhao Dayong spend money?
After all, she has seen many strange diseases in clinical practice. Some of them have no known causes, but the patient just feels uncomfortable. Others are that there are problems everywhere, but the patient has no conscious symptoms at all.
She always felt that based on her many years of experience in internal medicine, there was a high possibility that Zhao Dayong had colon cancer.
At this time, we can't spend a penny on them.
Thinking about it, she took out a lunch box and picked out a box of rabbit meat with fewer bones and easier to digest. "I'll send it to your sister-in-law later to nourish her body."
When Teacher Shu heard this, he hesitated to speak.
"Why, are you still afraid of getting a cleft lip?" Zhao Wanqiu rolled her eyes at him. "We should talk about science. No one in Chinese or Western medicine has said that pregnant women can't eat rabbit meat. On the contrary, they encourage eating it in moderation. Western medicine calls it protein, which is an essential nutrient for fetal growth and development. Chinese medicine says that rabbit meat is sweet and cool in nature, and has the effect of replenishing the middle and strengthening the Qi."
After receiving the well-reasoned rebuttal, Teacher Shu quickly agreed with a smile, not daring to say another word.
Zhao Dayong's son, Xiao Zhao, was a shy young man. He quickly responded, "My mother also ate it when she was pregnant with me. No, it's okay."
Everyone laughed, and Zhao Wanqiu asked him why his mother didn't come, what she did for a living, how old she was, and how her health was. Zhao Dayong also listened attentively.
He has been driving a car for so many years. In order to earn more money, he often switches shifts with others even when it is his rest time. As a result, when he falls ill, he realizes that the person he owes the most is his wife.
He secretly made up his mind that if the disease could not be cured, he would just save the money, using part for his son's marriage and the other part for his wife's retirement.
Shu Jinyue didn't know that he had even distributed his "inheritance". Since there was meat to eat, her attention was not focused on Zhao Dayong.
The rabbit meat was not too soft, but had just the right amount of bones and tendons, making it chewy and tasty. Everyone chatted while eating, and the meal lasted until almost 1:30. Shu Jinyue almost was late for work in the afternoon.
When it was time to get off work, she went home and did not eat. She just bought two brown sugar cakes to fill her stomach. She thought about asking Dr. Mo for help later. If he hadn't eaten yet, she would treat him to a meal. She heard that the provincial hospital canteen can provide special meals for employees.
At 6:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Dayong and his son and Shu Jinyue met at the gate of the Provincial Hospital on time. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, no, just a moment."
Zhao Dayong was very nervous. His face turned a little red and black, and his lips trembled slightly. It seemed that this examination could determine his life or death.
Xiao Zhao held his arm tightly, his eyes red. From what he said, his father regretted it after returning home in the afternoon. He didn't want to do that examination. He always felt that he could live a few more days without the examination, but it would be a death sentence if he did it. Then he said that if the company knew about it, he would not be able to leave any compensation for them, mother and son. Then he cried and said that he was sorry for his wife, and that she had never had a good day in her life after marrying him... It was the mother and son who comforted him for a long time before he gave up the idea of backing out.
It is normal to feel fear, and Jin Yue doesn't blame him for being "inconsistent" at all.
She patiently comforted him, "Brother Zhao, if you trust me, just listen to me. The disease you have is definitely not colon cancer."
Zhao Dayong could only murmur “eh eh”, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.
The three of them waited for a while in the night breeze, and Mo Shuyi came to pick them up in a white coat. "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. There is a patient in the department who needs to be taken care of."
He used to study surgery in the Soviet Union, and later went to Japan to study endocrinology. Now he works in the cardiovascular department of the provincial hospital. However, because he knows so much, he has a lot of patients coming to him. Not only those with cardiovascular and endocrine problems, but also some bone injuries, respiratory, and digestive patients want to be admitted to their department.
Shu Jinyue didn't know he was so famous at the time. It was only when he talked to Shu Wenyun later that she said that everyone in their district hospital knew about this overseas returnee doctor and that he was simply the golden signboard of the provincial hospital.
And this guy is still single, which makes him a diamond bachelor. I heard that two female nurses even fought over the opportunity to work with him. Zhao Wanqiu's mouth twitched when she heard this. "We nurses haven't seen gay men so often, have we?"
She was so busy with clinical work, and she had never had a good impression of the male doctors in the department. They wrote in an flamboyant style, and she had quarreled with them because she couldn't understand the medical instructions. In her eyes, she wouldn't even want to look at such irresponsible male comrades even if they grew up to be movie stars.
I'm so tired after get off work and just want to go home and rest. Who cares what the male doctor in your department looks like? Anyone who has worked the night shift knows that he smells bad. Who would care?
Now, Shu Jinyue was looking at Mo Shuyi who was leading the way in front of him, and thought to himself that his mother still hadn't seen the "world". Now, there was a handsome and dashing guy working the night shift right in front of him?
Mo Shuyi is tall and has long legs, and he looks like he is walking on a fashion show in his white coat. He is completely different from those bald directors. Coupled with his deep and three-dimensional facial features and the smile that was always on his face, she believed that the rumors that some people fought for him were not exaggerated.
"We agreed last night that we should sit here for a while. My friend will be out soon." Mo Shuyi led them to the door of a clinic. It looked empty as there were no patients.
He had just looked at Zhao Dayong. He couldn't tell anything from his expression and his walking posture was normal. He was not weak. In fact, he also suspected that he did not have colon cancer. Jin Yue sat opposite him and did not introduce Zhao Dayong's condition separately, mainly because he was afraid that the father and son would feel uncomfortable.
"Did Dr. Mo eat?"
"If I said I didn't eat, are you going to treat me?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if Dr. Mo would be willing to honor me."
Mo Shuyi smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. I've already eaten. I'm on duty today. There's only one young doctor and I in the department. I can't walk too far. Let's eat next time."
Shu Jinyue didn't force him. Work was more important. "Okay, then it's settled. Are you free this Sunday?"
Making a dinner appointment without time is just a perfunctory one.
"Okay." The two agreed on the place and time for dinner. The doctor from the imaging department came out and said that there were no patients at the moment, so he let them in.
Everyone stood up except Zhao Dayong, whose legs were trembling, and it seemed that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
In the end, Xiao Zhao and Mo Shuyi helped him in and laid him on the examination bed.
Originally it was planned to do an X-ray examination, but later Mo Shuyi suggested doing an ultrasound first, and if it couldn't be confirmed then do further tests. Jin Yue thought so too, if the change in voice could be seen, then there would be no need to be exposed to radiation.
Doctor Wang looked to be in his forties. He was very kind and polite. He did not start the examination right away. Instead, he asked Zhao Dayong in a gentle voice what symptoms he usually had, how long he had been feeling uncomfortable, whether he had had any examinations in other hospitals, what treatments he had received, etc. Gradually, Zhao Dayong was no longer so nervous.
While he was relaxing, Dr. Wang immediately put the probe on his body, and the first thing he looked at was of course the bulge in his lower abdomen.
As a result, his mouth, which was chatting casually a second ago, immediately opened wide with an "oh" and even frowned, "Huh..."
The relaxed atmosphere immediately became tense. Everyone held their breath and looked at Dr. Wang.
But he did not speak, nor did he have time to speak. His expression was more solemn than anyone else's. He quickly used the probe to probe around several times, looking up and down, left and right.
That little probe seemed to draw a map on the belly.
It took him five or six long minutes to draw the map. During this time, no one dared to breathe heavily, for fear of disrupting his rhythm.
Finally, he shook the probe and exhaled, "You don't have colon cancer. At least it can't be seen on the ultrasound."
Zhao Dayong was like a fish thrown onto the shore, gasping for breath, and it was unclear whether he had survived a disaster or was struggling to survive.
"but--"
Everyone held their breath again, looking at his tightly pursed lips, wondering if it wasn't colon cancer, but cancer in some other part of the body? How different is that from colon cancer?
"I've never seen such a serious case..." Before the doctor finished speaking, Zhao Dayong's breathing suddenly became rapid. The word "serious" made his chest and abdomen contract violently, like a rooster with its neck pinched, gasping and flapping its wings.
Doctor Wang had no choice but to hold back his words and advised Zhao Dayong: "Relax, it's okay, I'll take another look."
Shu Jinyue observed his expression and asked carefully, "Is the protruding part the stomach?"
Doctor Wang looked at her and said, "Yes, the preliminary diagnosis is the stomach, but this location..."
"It's severe gastroptosis, right?" Jin Yue continued to ask.
"You figured it out? Are you also an imaging specialist?" Doctor Wang wasn't really sure, because in all his years of clinical practice he had never seen such severe gastroptosis, it had even drooped into the pelvis!
The stomach should be in the upper left abdomen, but Zhao Dayong's stomach fell into the pelvis. What does this mean? It's like a peach that should have grown on the ground, but it grew in the soil like a potato. With such a big change in height, no matter how experienced he was, he couldn't help but gasp.
And this little girl actually knew that he suspected she was from the same industry as him, and the one with high level of skill and good understanding among them.
"Hey, Lao Wang, you guessed wrong. Our doctor Xiao Shu is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She made this guess by feeling the pulse, but she is not sure, so she wants you to help verify it." Mo Shuyi continued, and then sighed, "I have never seen such... No wonder the patient would have wild thoughts."
To use the language of the common people, the stomach has fallen to the position of the intestines. People who don’t know medicine think it is a problem with the intestines. They never imagined that it is the stomach that should be "high above".
In addition, he had a family history of the disease and his symptoms were mainly in the intestines, so it was no wonder that he thought he had colon cancer.
"Since Xiaoshu has already made a guess after taking my pulse, what makes you still unsure?"
"In traditional Chinese medicine theory, gastroptosis is usually accompanied by sallow complexion, fatigue, loose stools, chest and abdominal distension, nausea and acid reflux, which are manifestations of spleen and stomach qi deficiency. But Brother Zhao has none of these symptoms, so I am not sure."
"Since there are no symptoms of the digestive system, then from what clues do you infer that he has gastroptosis?" Doctor Wang is an old doctor. He does not believe in Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis. No matter how good a Chinese medicine doctor is, he cannot have X-ray vision, let alone the young girl in front of him. Even if she has been learning Chinese medicine since she was born, she has only studied it for 20 years at most, which is not as much as his clinical experience. How is that possible!
"Because Brother Zhao's pulse is strong and weak, like a leather tube without water..." blah blah, she told the results of taking his pulse last night.
But these boring theories sounded like nonsense to the two western doctors.
Well, Shu Jinyue gave up explaining to them, "Anyway, based on that pulse, combined with his symptoms, work experience, and eating habits, I have this guess."
Doctor Wang was confused. In fact, he believed in science more. "Doctor Xiaoshu, are you really sure that you have never studied imaging?"
Shu Jinyue had learned some things, but they were all from following the medical students when he was acting as a ghost. Sometimes, while he was watching them, they would open their phones to play, sometimes they would watch TV, and sometimes they would browse food bloggers. Ghost happened to be interested in these things, so his learning was very fragmented.
After all, mobile phones also have a fatal attraction to ghosts.
"No, she used to be a sent-down youth in the countryside, where she learned some Chinese medicine. Now she works in an epidemic prevention station, and she has no chance to come into contact with imaging-related content." Mo Shuyi explained for her.
Doctor Wang opened his mouth and thought to himself that it must be a strange thing. It seemed that it might be a blind cat catching a dead mouse. After all, maybe she saw it when he was operating just now.
He looked at the handsome Mo Shuyi again. Maybe this was a new way of pursuing her? Mo Shuyi, this colorful peacock, has captured the hearts of all the female comrades in the hospital.
Doctor Wang couldn't help laughing when he thought about those rumors.
As soon as he smiled, the father and son of the Zhao family completely relaxed. They hurriedly asked Shu Jinyue what gastroptosis was.
Jin Yue explained again and added: "Although Brother Zhao's condition is not cancer, the sagging is quite serious and still needs urgent treatment."
"It's drooping all the way to the pelvis. We should arrange surgery as soon as possible to suture the liver-stomach ligament. By the way, Lao Mo, don't you know a surgeon named Yidao? It's a good opportunity to let him do the gastropexy. I'll see if I can go and watch."
Mo Shuyi agreed that since they had found him, he would definitely help.
However, when he heard that he had to undergo surgery, Zhao Dayong's newly ignited hope was shattered again. "Well, let's go home and think about it, okay?"
"Of course you can, but I hope you can come for surgery as soon as possible, because long-term gastroptosis may cause the liver, spleen, and transverse colon to ptosis, and it will also affect your respiratory and circulatory systems."
Zhao Dayong didn't understand all this, but he knew that the disease was not colon cancer, and that was enough.
After bidding farewell to Mo Shuyi, Shu Jinyue brought the Zhao father and son to the gate to take the bus. They were lucky because the bus arrived just as they went out. The two families were going in the same direction and could ride together for seven or eight stops.
"Brother Zhao, I am right, aren't I? Your illness is just an ordinary digestive disease, not what you think."
Zhao Dayong nodded, feeling lucky to have survived a disaster: "Is this disease serious?"
"If it's just a normal case, it's not serious, but if it lasts too long, it's already a severe case and needs immediate treatment."
I don’t know if he is more tolerant or what, but he doesn’t have much stomach discomfort despite such severe prolapse. If Jin Yue hadn’t noticed that his pulse was not right, he might have been misdiagnosed.
But fortunately, even if traditional Chinese medicine makes a misdiagnosis, there are still modern medical examination methods. The Chinese people are so lucky to have two systems to protect their bodies.
"Surgery will cost a lot of money, right?"
Jin Yue said nothing. In this era, gastropexy also requires laparotomy, and his gastroptosis is too severe, so the laparotomy incision should not be small. The high cost is one thing, and the damage to the body's vitality cannot be ignored.
"Doctor Xiao Shu, you can tell from feeling my pulse that I have gastroptosis, so can you also use Chinese herbal medicine to treat me? Is it okay if I don't have surgery? I want to try Chinese medicine first... You know the situation in my family."
The latter part was said quietly, but Xiao Zhao still heard it. He quickly advised: "Dad, don't worry about the money, just do the surgery. It's not important for me to get married or not. The most important thing is that you take care of your health."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not important. It's your responsibility to start a family and continue the family line. Every man has gone through this. Don't talk nonsense."
Shu Jinyue just pretended not to hear. That was his opinion and there was no need to argue with him.
Xiao Zhao lowered his head and said, "If I ask you to use the money for medical treatment to marry me, then I would rather not get married."
"Bullshit!" Zhao Dayong was so angry that he cursed and choked on his saliva. "Why have I worked so hard outside for so many years?"
Shu Jinyue asked him to stop talking about such old stuff. In fact, as a child, she didn't like her parents saying these things. Whenever they wanted to convince their children, they would talk about their own years of suffering and their contributions to the family, as if they had nothing else to say except this.
It can be seen that Zhao Dayong is a typical old-generation Longguo parent.
"Brother Zhao, traditional Chinese medicine is effective for this disease, but your condition is quite serious, so I'm not sure how effective it will be."
"It's okay. I understand. I can accept all the consequences. You said I wouldn't be so unlucky forever, right?" Zhao Dayong rubbed his hands and felt more energetic. "Doctor Xiao Shu, it's too late today. I'll come to see you tomorrow and you can prescribe some medicine for me. Okay?"
"Okay." Shu Jinyue actually wanted to give it a try. The ultrasound examination confirmed her guess. She was now full of confidence and wanted to further verify her treatment ideas.
Yes, she is so easily inflated. After all, she is young and should be confident!
Zhao Wanqiu and Teacher Shu were still waiting at the entrance of the alley. When they saw her get off the car, they immediately came over to her and asked, "How's it going?"
When Jin Yue told the story, the old couple also became happy, "It's good that it's not cancer. Other diseases can be treated slowly. There is always a way."
"There is no other way, but we can live with the disease." Zhao Wanqiu paused, "By the way, Jinyue, tell me what's wrong with that pulse. I remember the last time you treated Huang Mei's mother, Aunt Huang, you knew she had excessive vaginal discharge and uterine prolapse without taking her pulse. Zhao Dayong and her both have visceral prolapse. What's the difference?"
Yes, last time Aunt Huang had prolapse, her face was very yellow, so yellow that Jin Yue had to pay attention to it. But this time, you couldn’t see anything on Brother Zhao’s face, but it was reflected in the pulse. The pulses were different both times, but the pathogenesis was the same... Jin Yue talked a lot, and Zhao Wanqiu listened with great interest.
"That is to say, in Chinese medicine, even if they are different diseases, as long as the mechanism of the disease is the same, the same treatment method can be used, right?"
"Yes, this is called treating different diseases with the same treatment."
"Then I see in the book you found for me there are also different treatments for the same disease, what is that?"
Shu Jinyue thought that it would be hard to explain for a while, "Mom, don't worry, digest these two cases first, and I'll tell you when I encounter the same disease with different treatments in the future."
The main reason was that she was also tired. She had been busy since last night. What Jin Yue wanted to do most now was to lie on the bed and roll around in the soft quilt.
Although her bed is small, it is her warmest harbor.
But when she was lying on the bed, she remembered that she was busy greeting Zhao Dayong and others today and forgot to get milk! However, she and Xu Duan agreed to meet on time at one o'clock every day. If she didn't show up after ten minutes past one, it meant that she had something to do and couldn't leave. He could just leave the milk at Grandma Hu's house.
The more I thought about it, the more I decided to go to Grandma Hu's house tomorrow morning. I don't know if fresh milk can be kept for such a long time. It would be a pity if it went bad.
Thinking about random things, he fell into a daze and vaguely heard the sound of his second brother getting up. Shu Jinyue looked at the sky and asked, "Why are you getting up so early, second brother?"
"Did I disturb you? I'll make some porridge for Wenli."
Shu Jinyue laughed to death. This guy has never cooked since he was a child. Now that he is dating a girl, he actually gets up early to cook porridge? The sour smell of love is really pungent.
"Why are you laughing? If she hadn't been sick these past few days, I wouldn't have stayed up all this time."
"Sister Wenli is sick again, what's going on?" She remembered that the last time they met at Xinhua Bookstore, she had lost several pounds because of a cold.
"She has a cold and a fever. She is a greedy person and doesn't care about what she eats. She wants to eat everything she sees, so she never gets better from the cold."
Shu Jinyue nodded but didn't take it to heart because this was very consistent with Xu Wenli's personality.
"I think it's not easy for her to recover from this cold. She has lost some weight recently. Shu Jinyue, do you think we should add some nourishing ingredients to her porridge?"
"It's best to eat less tonic food when you have a cold. It's not too late to eat more after you've completely recovered."
Shu Wenming uttered "oh" twice, and went to light the stove under the eaves. He washed the rice and the pot with a grunt, and choked several times in the process...
Humph, he has a conscience. He made the loving breakfast himself instead of using the one made by Zhao Wanqiu.
When Shu Jinyue woke up again, Shu Wenming had already cooked a pot of fragrant white rice porridge. Everyone knew that this was for Xu Wenli to recuperate, so they all said they didn't want to eat it and still wanted to eat yesterday's mixed flour steamed bread with pickles.
He packed his things and carried them out, leaving the Shu family laughing secretly.
"I used to think he was stupid, but now I feel relieved."
"Yes, it's good to know how to take care of others. It doesn't matter if life is hard. Wen Li doesn't mind."
Teacher Shu sighed and was a little confused, "Why does Wenli always catch a cold? I went to see her last time and she wasn't as fat as you said. Did she lose weight because of the cold?"
Zhao Wanqiu nodded, "Yes, she has lost some weight. The last time Sister Zhao and I went there, we almost didn't recognize her."
In the past, Xu Wenli was just like an autumn apple. When they saw her that time, her complexion was fine, and they didn’t know whether it was really rosy or she was shy, but she had indeed lost a lot of weight.
"If western medicine doesn't work, why not let the second child bring her here another day and let Jin Yue take a look." Teacher Shu said so, but he was reluctant to say it, for fear that people would think he despised Wen Li's poor health. If the child was suspicious, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly.
"Hey, my second brother is not a fool. He will definitely come to me if he really needs you. Don't worry about it." Shu Jinyue put down his chopsticks, went to brush his teeth, put on his green schoolbag and left.
It was still early when she arrived at the office. She was still doing the usual three things: sweeping the floor, wiping the table, and filling the kettle with water. Liu Jinbu came in and gave her another halfhearted compliment.
"Jin Yue is really hardworking. Lao Zhu and I are relying on you."
"If Brother Liu really wants to thank me, then go and flick the ash next to the trash can."
Liu Jinbu choked up. He and Lao Zhu were heavy smokers. They liked to smoke when they had nothing to do. They would flick the ashes away. Their ashes were all over the desk and under the chair. "Hehe, I'm used to it. I'll be more careful next time."
Shu Jinyue didn't take it seriously. At first, she didn't dare to show her disgust when they were new to each other. Later, she really couldn't stand it anymore and talked to them face to face. They didn't get angry, but actually went to the trash can to smoke. But a few days later, the habit sprouted again.
Now, it's like this, once she says something, they behave themselves for a few days. Sometimes, even if she says something harsh, they don't get angry, but instead coax her with a smile.
Oh, I admire how their wives can resist beating them.
"Come on, come on, everyone is here, try the peanuts braised by my wife." Liu Jinbu took something out of his arms. It was wrapped in two layers of newspaper and filled with steaming peanuts. It smelled really good.
Jin Yue was not polite and tasted two. The peanuts were plump and round, cooked perfectly, and had the aroma of the marinade. It was so delicious that he even sipped the marinade in the peanut shells.
"It's good for a family member to work in a delicatessen. We can't compare with you. My wife complains to me every day about how difficult the patients are and how boring the inspections by superiors are." Zhu Daqiang's wife works in the district hospital, and they were classmates back then.
Liu Jinbu's wife works in a state-owned delicatessen. Sometimes she can take home some of the leftover cooked food that is not selling well. Sometimes, if the marinade is no longer needed, she can take it home and cook something herself, such as peanuts, edamame, potatoes, etc., which are also delicious when cooked.
This is probably the reason why Liu Jinbu is so fat and white, Jin Yue thought unkindly.
But this kind of job is as enviable as working in a meat processing factory. Jin Yue couldn't help but think of Brother Li, whose father-in-law works in the meat processing factory. He wondered how he was doing recently.
Aunt Li has been quiet recently. Her five daughters take turns to serve her with delicious food and drinks at home. Although the uncles and aunts in the compound say that she is not considerate of children, how can they not envy her in their hearts?
Everyone grows old one day and longs to be cared for.
Shu Jinyue was thinking when suddenly Sister Qiao called out at the door: "Jinyue, come and see who's here."
Shu Jinyue didn't know what she was so happy about. She was stunned when she came out of the office - it was Qin Haiyang, whom she hadn't seen for a while.
Since he was discharged from the hospital, Jin Yue had only seen him once, and he came hurriedly to share a few apples with everyone and left without saying a few words.
Today, Qin Haiyang was holding some peanuts in his hand. He was dressed more maturely than before in school. His hair was cut short, and his student look was gone instantly.
"Is it not disturbing you?"
Shu Jinyue shook his head, "Come in and sit for a while." If he stood at the door any longer, Sister Qiao would call her friends to come and watch the fun, and as soon as they left, she would bring up every word Qin Haiyang had said and chew on it again.
Qin Haiyang entered the room and placed the peanuts on the desk shared by the three of them. "My relatives grew these themselves. Brother Zhu and Brother Liu, please have a try."
Zhu Daqiang nodded, and Liu Jinbu smiled slyly, his eyes rolling between the two of them.
"How's your internship? It's quite busy, right?" Jin Yue took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"Yes, I'm very busy. There's a lot of work in my department, and I'm often called up in the middle of the night."
Most of the people in the obstetrics and gynecology department are responsible for delivering children, and childbirth is not something you can do whenever you want. Sometimes the labor occurs in the middle of the night, so the night shift for obstetricians and gynecologists is almost restless.
"On the other hand, there are basically no nighttime emergencies for gynecological patients, and we have only encountered a few special cases so far."
Shu Jinyue poured him a glass of water and said, "Why is it so special? Can you tell me more about it?"
She is really curious, and she is happy to listen if someone can share with her about things she has never experienced.
"Well, one is a case of heavy bleeding from an ectopic pregnancy, one is a corpus luteum rupture, and the other is an ovarian cyst pedicle torsion..."
Even Lao Zhu and Liu Jinbu listened with great interest. They had also learned these terms, but as they were not in clinical practice, they were no longer familiar with them. At this time, it sounded like listening to a story.
Qin Haiyang has a pair of big, bright and expressive eyes. As a woman, Jin Yue envies such big, double eyes. She thinks that the ancients only said "beautiful women are the root of trouble", but in fact, men can also be the root of trouble!
"I have only seen these acute abdomens in textbooks. I was still very nervous when I encountered them in clinical practice. Fortunately, my teacher was very good. He was very decisive and patient, and was willing to teach me everything."
"That's right, but you... ahem." Liu Jinbu almost said, "You are Director Qin's son, who dares not take good care of him?"
After chatting for a few more sentences, Qin Haiyang said he wanted to leave. Shu Jinyue saw him to the door, and he whispered, "I have something to do in a few days and I want to invite my friends to dinner. Can you come as a friend? Don't worry, it's just a few friends having dinner together. There are no outsiders. You have met several roommates."
Shu Jinyue wanted to refuse, but he immediately said, "My parents want me to apply for a government-funded study abroad program. The application process may be completed in a few days. I also want to go abroad and see some advanced technology. I heard that Japan's epidural anesthesia technology is very advanced..."
Since Longguo and Japan established diplomatic relations two years ago, the two countries have sent many students to each other. They have begun to study minimally invasive techniques in obstetrics and gynecology surgery, while Longguo is still in the laparotomy stage. It would be great to go and learn there.
"Okay, congratulations first. When you return after completing your studies, you will surely achieve great things."
Seeing that she looked frank and had no reluctance at all, Qin Haiyang's fire in his heart gradually died down, and he had to tell himself to give up, because she really had no thoughts about him at all.
Well, let’s just treat this as our last dinner together before I go abroad. It will be difficult to meet again in the future. After thinking it over, his mood became sunny again, and he regarded it as putting an end to this period of his youth.
"Give me the address, and I'll definitely go there when the time comes... Oh, by the way, can I bring a friend with me?"
"Of course, you're welcome."
After getting the address, Jin Yue went to the Geological University to find Yao Qingqing after get off work and asked her if she was willing to go with him.
"Of course I'll go. I'm bored all by myself. I'm so glad you came to see me!" To express her happiness, she even took Shu Jinyue to the cafeteria.
Shu Jinyue had already experienced the good quality and low prices in the university cafeteria, and the staff cafeteria was even better. Without spending much money, the two of them got two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, as well as a generous bowl of rice.
"Your cafeteria is really nice. If I worked here, I could eat there forever."
Yao Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't be so sure. You won't like it so much when you really eat it."
When she first came to work, she felt like she had fallen into Fuwowo, but after staying there for a while, she found that there were only a few dishes over and over again, without any change, and in order to suit the taste of the general public, they were all very bland, which she did not like at all.
"I still miss hotpot. The mutton that Brother Xu sliced for us last time was really delicious..."
"Hello, Comrade Yao, is anyone here?" Suddenly, a male voice interrupted her memories.
Shu Jinyue and Yao Qingqing looked up and saw a tall gay man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face, which was in line with the mainstream aesthetic of that era.
Yao Qingqing shook her head, "No one, please sit down."
It is lunchtime now and the cafeteria is packed with people sharing tables, especially since the two of them are colleagues who know each other.
"Let me introduce you. This is my colleague Song Yingwu, who works in the Security Department. This is my good friend Shu Jinyue."
Shu Jinyue nodded to Song Yingwu and greeted him with a smile.
Song Yingwu had a serious look on his face and didn't say much. After sitting opposite them, he just focused on eating and rarely took the initiative to talk to them.
Shu Jinyue tends to like people who don't talk much. After finishing his meal and leaving the cafeteria, he asked Yao Qingqing, "Is this your colleague? Why does he look so serious?"
"He was transferred from the army to our school. He's a nice guy, but he doesn't talk much. In fact, he's very warm-hearted and has helped me several times."
Because of her brother, she has a natural affinity and trust for soldiers. "I actually want to ask him about military matters. I always feel that listening to him is like listening to my brother, but there are differences between men and women, so it's still not easy to approach him alone."
Shu Jinyue comforted her, "It's nothing. If you want to know, you can ask her when you meet her on the street or share a table in the cafeteria. But..."
"But what?"
Shu Jinyue smiled and said, "But if he is married or has a partner, it is not appropriate for you to have too much contact. If you don't know, you can ask your second brother Xu. He must know more."
"No, no, no, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet. I asked Second Brother Xu, but he didn't want to talk about it. He always felt that he was responsible for my brother's sacrifice, so..."
Jin Yue knew that in this situation, every time Yao Qingqing asked, she was hurting his heart.
After leaving school, Shu Jinyue rushed to Huaishu Hutong, and sure enough, he saw him sitting astride a bicycle and smoking, with a half-burned cigarette between his slender fingers, his eyes staring at the ivy sticking out of the courtyard wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey!" Shu Jinyue tiptoed behind him and suddenly shouted.
He smiled and looked back at her messy hair. "What happened yesterday?"
"Well, my eldest sister-in-law's senior brother is willing to see it. Let me tell you, I don't think it's colon cancer. I went to the provincial hospital for a scan last night and it turned out not to be colon cancer. It's just gastroptosis..." blah blah.
Xu Duan listened, put out the cigarette, threw it into the trash can, and took out the bottle of milk from his bag.
"Why are there three bottles?!"
"One bottle yesterday, two bottles today. I thought you didn't have time to ask Grandma Hu for them, so I took them back."
Jin Yue smiled like a fat squirrel that had found its food cache, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? You didn't drink it for free." Children just love to be fussy. She didn't say it but he knew that she must have secretly taken out a small notebook to write down how many bottles of milk she took from him on what day of the month, and she would pay him at the end of the month.
Because it was late, the two of them didn't say much and went to work. Shu Jinyue was holding the three bottles of milk and drank one while walking on the street. Yesterday's bottle was produced yesterday, and she heard that it would be fine to keep for three days, so she thought of taking the remaining two bottles back and drinking them with breakfast.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her hair had improved a lot recently, not as yellow, and her face had gradually become more flesh-colored, especially her cheeks, which were more rosy and no longer as pale as before.
More importantly, her breasts seem to have grown a bit. Although they are still far from being as good as others, there have been some changes, and she is becoming more and more like a girl.
She doesn't have high requirements, just that people won't be able to tell the difference between her chest and back in the future.
***
When I got home in the evening, the Zhao family of three were already waiting at home.
"I told them I could do it myself, but they insisted on coming with me. They didn't trust me and were afraid that I wouldn't cure the disease?" Zhao Dayong grinned. Even though he complained, he couldn't hide the happiness on his face.
Mrs. Zhao is a very simple woman. She doesn't have a job and stays at home taking care of her children. She is illiterate and doesn't like to go out. This time she forced herself to come out and "socialize" for the sake of her husband.
She rubbed her hands and said nervously, "Doctor Xiao Shu, I...I want to thank you. You saved our family. I don't have much to show for it, but I can do some needlework. If your family needs sewing or making clothes for the New Year, just leave it to me. I will definitely do it well for you."
Zhao Dayong's salary is not enough to support his wife and son. He usually helps his neighbors with needlework, sewing soles and insoles, etc. He earns only one or two cents at a time, which is not even enough to buy groceries.
"Okay, then I would like to thank Mrs. Zhao first." Shu Jinyue took the milk back to the house and came over to chat with them. He did the same thing again, and the result was the same.
"If you are willing to receive traditional Chinese medicine treatment, I would like to try a new treatment method for you."
"What is the solution?"
"Traditional decoction combined with acupoint injection." Because Zhao Dayong's gastroptosis is very serious, if he follows Huang Mei's mother's idea and takes Chinese medicine slowly, it will be too slow. Now he is anxious to return to work and make money. If he travels long distances before being cured, all his previous efforts will be wasted. So Jin Yue decided to take a two-pronged approach and "cut the Gordian knot."
"Brother Zhao's illness is actually not complicated. The injection only requires two herbs."
"Astragalus and Cimicifuga are used to replenish qi and lift the sunken qi." Zhao Wanqiu continued. She knew what medicine Jin Yue was going to use and even knew what dosage form she was going to use. "These two herbs need to be extracted into an injection solution and then injected into the acupoints. This way the effect will come very quickly."
The three members of the Zhao family nodded repeatedly, as long as the effect was quick.
"But we don't have the conditions to withdraw the money at home, so we need Jin Yue to ask someone for help. I can only trouble you to wait for two days. I will contact you as soon as I have news."
What is worrying Shu Jinyue is who to look for.
