Chapter 1267: Treatment before Illness
After ten o'clock in the morning, Yin Wenzhu finally woke up. After a series of examinations, it was reassuring to find that there was no brain damage.
Of course, various physical discomforts such as pain, blurred vision, loss of taste, numbness, and heaviness in the legs are inevitable, and it takes at least two or three months to recuperate.
The lunch that Yu Zhiming had today was prepared by Sui Chi.
It is quite unique. The main dishes are large bowls of boneless pork and boneless donkey meat, and the staple food is beef fried noodles.
He ate meat and noodles with big mouthfuls, and had some cold dishes with sesame sauce to relieve the greasiness. Yu Zhiming felt like he had returned to the north and was very satisfied with the meal.
Yu Zhiming asked Sui Chi and learned that today's lunch was prepared by Zhao Fang and her mother.
They said they knew he had a lot of delicious food every day, and since he was from the north and had a big appetite, they just ate something coarse...
Because he didn’t get enough rest at night, Yu Zhiming took an extra half-hour break at noon and started working at 1:30.
The first patient in the afternoon was violinist Xia Jun, who couldn't wait to rush back from other place.
"Doctor Yu, it's been four days. Four whole days without hand tremors. This is the longest time interval since a hand tremor attack."
"That bitch is hurting me."
Yu Zhiming gave Xia Jun another physical examination, but still found nothing suspicious.
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "You hid away from home and your hand tremors didn't reappear. You can't say it was because of your ex-girlfriend."
"You're avoiding your ex, but you're also avoiding other people, leaving your familiar surroundings, and perhaps being in a new environment reduces your psychological anxiety."
Xia Jun frowned and said, "Doctor Yu, are you saying that the hand tremors could also be caused by other people, environmental issues, or psychological anxiety?"
"These reasons can't be ruled out, can they?"
Yu Zhiming asked back, and then warned: "Don't easily conclude that someone is harming you without solid evidence."
"Well, first make sure it's not your ex-girlfriend who's causing you harm. Then go back and think carefully about whether there's someone else or something else causing your hand tremors."
"If you really can't think of anything, just call the police. They'll probably be able to find some problems."
Xia Jun frowned and left Zhizhen Building...
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, a thin and weak little boy of seven or eight years old was brought into the soundproof examination room by his mother.
The main symptoms are occasional colds and fevers, sore throats, and poor digestion. Vomiting and diarrhea occur at least once or twice a month, and as many as three or four times.
The child always gets sick and gets treated, but the disease recurs after a few days, which makes the parents a little frustrated.
I would like to ask Yu Zhiming to check whether the child has any hidden problems that cannot be detected so that they can be eradicated and treated.
Yu Zhiming felt that his parents were making things difficult for him.
Common diseases among children include colds, fever, sore throats, and indigestion.
If parents are negligent and not careful enough in taking care of weak children with insufficient resistance, it is common for them to fall ill every other day.
The thin and yellow-complexioned little boy in front of him fits Yu Zhiming's impression of this type of child.
However, the inspection was still done.
"Lie down on the examination bed."
"Doctor, do I need to take off my clothes?" asked the child's mother.
Yu Zhiming shook his head.
After the child lay down, Yu Zhiming conducted a full body examination of the child starting from the head.
As he expected, after a series of examinations, it was found that the child had no major problems except for weak internal organs.
Just when he was checking the child's thigh, Yu Zhiming found a few fresh plant leaves in his trouser pocket.
At his age when cats and dogs hate him, and as a little boy, Yu Zhiming would not be surprised if he had small snakes and frogs in his pocket, let alone a few fresh leaves.
Yu Zhiming didn't take it seriously and said to the child's mother, "Apart from weak internal organs, the examination didn't reveal any other hidden problems with the child."
"These frequent colds, fevers, vomiting and diarrhea are most likely caused by a weak body and insufficient resistance."
After Yu Zhiming said this, he saw a mixed expression of relief and disappointment on the child's mother's face.
I've probably heard similar things many times.
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment, then said, "Your child needs to take care of his body. Traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in this regard. You can go to Gancaotang and tell them that I asked you to go."
After the child’s mother thanked him, she took the child away.
"Wait a moment……"
Yu Zhiming suddenly called out to the mother and son.
He turned his gaze to the little boy again, softened his tone, and asked, "Can you take out the fresh leaves in your trouser pocket and show them to me?"
The reason why Yu Zhiming asked this question was because he thought that he could not let go of any possible doubts due to negligence.
Having fresh plant leaves in your pocket is barely considered abnormal.
The little boy was a little hesitant and timid, and before he could make a move, his mother quickly searched his pockets for him.
"Doctor, my son has a finicky hand and often pulls the leaves of green plants. His father and I have been telling him off a lot."
Yu Zhiming looked at the seven or eight green leaves in the child's mother's hand, all of which looked a little wilted.
He reached out from the child's mother's hand and took out a leaf that roughly resembled spinach.
"Pothos is slightly poisonous. If you accidentally eat it or come into contact with its juice, it may cause symptoms such as sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea."
As soon as Yu Zhiming finished speaking, the child's mother's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea?"
"Doctor, what do you mean?"
Yu Zhiming noticed that the little boy lowered his head with his chin on his chest, and he knew what was going on.
This child has pica.
He would pluck leaves of green plants to eat from time to time. As a common green plant, green ivy must be plucked and eaten by him frequently.
Pica is an eating disorder that often occurs in children between the ages of five and ten.
The patient has a persistent craving for non-edible items or non-nutritious substances, such as dirt, hair, soap, leaves, etc.
The specific cause and pathogenesis of pica are still unclear, and may be related to trace element deficiency, psychological factors, and family education background.
Yu Zhiming quickly recalled some relevant knowledge about pica in his mind. In addition, he had conducted a physical examination on the little boy and had some guesses about the cause of the child's pica.
Perhaps, it is a factor of family education background?
A chaotic family environment, lack of effective parental supervision, neglect and abuse, emotional deprivation, high-pressure learning environment, etc. may all cause pica in children.
Yu Zhiming just looked at the child's mother scrutinizingly, without interfering in her affairs, and wrote a prescription for them to go for a check-up on the cause of pica.
After verifying the cause of the child's illness, we will provide targeted psychological treatment and treatment of the primary cause...
After six o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming finished his outpatient work for the day, but did not go home after get off work.
He then welcomed Dai Hezhi and his wife, as well as the traditional Chinese medicine masters Qin, Liu, Bai and others.
The itinerary of these people was confirmed last week.
Mr. Qin, Mr. Liu and Mr. Bai are all very busy people, and one move can affect the whole body. Yu Zhiming did not let Zhou Mo notify them to change the schedule because of his special situation.
Yu Zhiming first gave Dai Hezhi's wife a physical examination.
He wanted to confirm whether the possibility of his wife's cancer, caused by an ovarian cyst, had been reduced or eliminated after two weeks of treatment by Elder Qin, Elder Liu, and Elder Bai...
