Chapter 372 Triple Treatment, Miracle
"There's nothing wrong with eating sugar or salt, and these are essential nutrients for the body, but you have to be careful to eat in moderation," Mr. Chen replied with a smile.
More than 60% of the heat energy needed by the human body when working, studying, thinking, and maintaining normal survival activities is provided by sugar. Supplementing appropriate sugar is very important for the body.
Sugar not only provides energy for the body's metabolism, but eating some sugar can also relieve stress.
Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of sugar.
The main culprits of the three highs are certainly sugar and salt, but as long as they are not consumed in excess, there will be no problem.
Zhou Can is a doctor himself, so he naturally understands these principles.
This is also the reason why he did not let Su Qianqian abstain from sugar and salt.
If you eat too much sugar, it will form fat, which will make the body fat and cause high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and diabetes.
This is why people are so afraid of sugar.
As long as you understand its pathogenic mechanism, you can look at it correctly.
"Little girl, the main cause of your illness is the deficiency of the three qi. In addition to taking medicine, I will teach you a set of food tonic recipes and a set of gymnastics exercises for fitness training."
As Mr. Chen spoke, he prescribed a prescription for her.
In addition to the prescription, she was also given some nutritional supplements, including black beans and mutton.
"Mr. Chen, can I ask you for advice?"
"you say!"
Mr. Chen’s attitude is very kind.
"Among Chinese medicinal herbs, Rehmannia root and donkey-hide gelatin are both good for nourishing the kidneys, but you didn't prescribe them. Can you teach me the mechanism behind them?"
Zhou Can humbly asked him for advice.
"You must be a doctor, right? As soon as you stood here, I could smell the scent of Western medicine."
Mr. Chen’s words made Zhou Can feel embarrassed.
"Haha, the smell I'm talking about is not the odor, but the unique mechanical smell that comes with practicing Western medicine for a while. Don't be offended. I don't look down on Western medicine. I just think that Western medicine is too rigid in both diagnosis and treatment, which is like using formulas to apply them. It's a bit too mechanical and rigid."
The chain of contempt exists all the time.
Internal medicine despises surgery, and surgery despises internal medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine despises Western medicine, and Western medicine looks down on traditional Chinese medicine.
Everyone despises each other and thinks they are the best.
This is especially obvious with foreigners. Every foreigner has been exaggerated since childhood. In their minds, they believe that they are the best, their country is the best, and everything about them is the best.
What Chinese children are most taught by their parents is low-key and modesty.
The doctrine of the mean and Confucianism have a far-reaching influence on China. Hiding one's shortcomings is what Chinese people love to do the most.
Although he is worth over 100 million yuan and some people praise him for being rich, he shakes his head and says he is just an average person, and even cries poor.
Being low-key is equal to self-protection, and this awareness has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people.
Mr. Chen's contempt for Western medicine is by no means an anomaly. It's just the traditional thinking that's at work.
For thousands of years in China, emperors of every dynasty have regarded themselves as masters of the world.
When the emperors of the Tang, Han, Ming and Qing dynasties encountered foreign invasions, they would often speak in a domineering tone as if they were the masters of the world, saying, "General, I order you to take command of so many troops immediately to wipe out the barbarians or the Japanese pirates."
"Young man, Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is very different from the symptomatic treatment of Western medicine. Donkey-hide gelatin and Rehmannia glutinosa are kidney yin tonifying medicines, and are most commonly used to treat kidney deficiency and yin syndrome. For example, the popular Liuwei Dihuang Pills on the market use Rehmannia glutinosa as the main ingredient. It is more effective in treating night sweats, spermatorrhea, and soreness of the waist and knees."
Mr. Chen patiently explained the mechanism to him.
"So, are kidney-tonifying drugs also divided into two categories: yang drugs and yin drugs?"
Zhou Can is ready to get to the bottom of this .
"Exactly! What we Chinese medicine practitioners focus on is the balance of yin and yang. Yang medicines replenish yang, and yin medicines replenish yin. For a disease like hers, we must first identify which aspects of qi, blood, yin and yang are deficient, and then consider the relationship between the internal organs and choose dietary supplements and Chinese medicines to replenish the body. While taking supplements, we must also pay attention to the patient's spleen and stomach function. If the spleen and stomach are stagnant, we must take this into consideration when prescribing and taking supplements."
After hearing this, Zhou Can felt relieved.
It seems that the pharmacology of Western medicine and that of traditional Chinese medicine have certain similarities.
It’s just that the treatment principles are slightly different.
Traditional Chinese medicine is all about the balance of yin and yang. When yin is excessive, yang should be supplemented, and when yang is excessive, yin should be supported. As long as the balance of yin and yang is maintained in the human body, the person will be healthy.
"Little girl, I will teach you a set of exercises. Remember them carefully and do them several times in the morning and evening. As long as you persevere, I believe you will gain something."
After saying that, Mr. Chen stood up and demonstrated it to her carefully.
Zhou Can cleverly recorded the entire process. In case he forgot, he could let Su Qianqian study the video after returning.
"Okay, after you take the medicine for a course of treatment, go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is effective, come back to me for a second prescription."
Mr. Chen has taken extra care of them and provided them with detailed and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment guidance.
"Okay, thank you!"
After thanking Mr. Chen, the two left with great anticipation.
Zhou Can prescribed the medicine and boiled it for her to take.
In addition, he also specially went to have a drink with Li Lao and talked about Su Qianqian's affairs, asking Li Lao to reduce her workload as much as possible.
Li Lao had no objection to this matter.
Although Jinyu Interactive has trained many new talents, the time is still short, and there is no super popular artist like Su Qianqian. Therefore, it may not be easy for her to reduce her workload immediately.
Zhou Can could understand it. Anyway, he just needed to give advance notice and reduce her business little by little.
Of course, the premise is to respect Su Qianqian’s own wishes.
In the following days, Zhou Can was very concerned about Su Qianqian's treatment. He asked her to take medicine and do the gymnastics exercises that Chen Lao taught her every day. He also found ways to give her some of the nourishing foods that Chen Lao prescribed.
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
She was taking just one course of medication.
It was obvious that her body seemed to have undergone some positive changes. Her face became rosier, her eyes brighter, and even her voice was stronger.
It may also be related to the nourishment of love.
Zhou Can would go to accompany her almost every day in this month, no matter how late he got off work. With the man she loved so much by her side, she was happy every day.
When I encounter annoying things at work, I now have someone to talk to.
Living together and talking on the phone are two completely different concepts.
"Qianqian, come with me to Tuya for a checkup today! You will be taking a course of Chinese medicine instead."
"Um!"
She now listens to Zhou Can's words very much, and everything revolves around Zhou Can.
This is a sign of a woman's deep love for a man.
…
Zhou Can has currently been rotated to the cardiovascular department for regular training. After get off work, he goes to the cardiothoracic surgery department almost every day to learn surgical skills from Director Hu Kan.
In addition, I will go to the pediatric department for consultation every Wednesday without fail.
As his popularity gradually faded, the number of patients he saw did not decrease much. However, at least 80% of the patients he saw were attracted by the large platform of Tuya Hospital.
With him taking Su Qianqian to the examination, she saved herself the trouble of queuing.
While waiting for the test results, Su Qianqian was clearly anxious and nervous. Zhou Can wasn't much better.
He even felt more nervous than taking the regular training recruitment exam and the medical license exam.
I was both looking forward to the test results and afraid of disappointment.
However, judging from her physical condition, even if the test results are not surprising, they should not be too bad.
"Qianqian, don't be nervous. If Chinese medicine doesn't work, we can always switch back to Western medicine."
Zhou Can held her hand and comforted her.
"Haha, you're talking about me! Aren't you nervous too?"
Su Qianqian looks particularly beautiful when she smiles, with her eyebrows and eyes curved like blooming flower buds.
"Why am I nervous?" Zhou Can pretended to be calm.
"You big idiot, next time you tell a lie, remember to wipe the sweat off your palms first!" She smiled happily, but deep in her eyes there was a deep touch of emotion.
There is no woman who doesn't like to be held in the palm of her boyfriend's hand.
The feeling of being cared for made her feel happy, as if she was immersed in a honey pot.
Zhou Can said one thing and meant another, and was exposed in front of her, feeling very embarrassed.
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and just smiled and let it go.
"Um... let me check if the test results are out!" Zhou Can took her ID card and walked to the automatic inquiry machine in front.
After swiping your ID card, you can directly check the inspection results.
Fortunately, the test results came out not long ago.
Click print and it will print automatically soon.
"Wow, it's finally out! Help me see if the result is good or bad?" Su Qianqian also came over.
Zhou Can checked key data such as renal function creatinine value and urea nitrogen.
"Oh, I didn't expect that taking Chinese medicine had no effect at all. The creatinine level increased significantly. It seems that there is no hope for your illness!" Zhou Can's face fell, looking extremely depressed.
Su Qianqian was struck by lightning when she heard this, and she stood there in a daze without saying a word.
"This is my fate! God has been very kind to me to have you by my side." Su Qianqian's tone was full of bitterness.
"Haha, I thought you were going to cry! Don't worry, I was just kidding. Comrade Su Qianqian, I'm going to tell you a piece of good news. After a month of TCM treatment, your indicators have not only not dropped, but have slightly rebounded. In particular, the most important creatinine value has stopped rising and dropped by 31 points."
Zhou Can told her the great news.
"Ah...you big liar, big bad guy! How dare you lie to me!"
After hearing this, she was so angry that she threw herself into Zhou Can's arms and punched him with her fists.
"Haha, how about it, are you happy? This result really surprised even me. Director Jian is really capable. I have to thank him very much."
These days, Zhou Can has been under tremendous pressure as he has seen his girlfriend's condition continue to progress and worsen.
After Su Qianqian switched to traditional Chinese medicine treatment, she never expected the effect to be so significant.
When Zhou Can was most desperate, she felt that even if she could slow down the progression of her disease, it would be great news.
I never expected that after taking a course of Chinese medicine, the progression of the disease not only stopped, but also began to develop in a positive direction.
This was something he dared not even think about.
"Wasn't it Mr. Chen who treated me? Why did you think of thanking Director Jian first?"
She asked.
"If Director Jian hadn't suggested that we switch to traditional Chinese medicine, we might still be using Western medicine now! Mr. Chen should be thanked, but Director Jian should be thanked even more."
Zhou Can explained.
"Seeing that your condition has improved, my heart suddenly became much brighter and brighter. The stone that has been weighing on my heart for more than a month has been lifted."
He had already regarded Su Qianqian as the other half of his life, and her health was something that concerned him deeply.
I really can’t imagine what would happen if her condition continued to deteriorate and she needed a kidney transplant.
"Haha, me too! This is one of the happiest times I've been since I was diagnosed with chronic renal failure."
The sadness between Su Qianqian's brows also disappeared.
Seeing hope in despair is like a ray of light suddenly falling in endless darkness.
Bringing people endless hope and light.
"One of the few times? Is there anything more joyful than this?"
Zhou Can held her in his arms, looked at her and asked.
"Of course I did! That night was the first time you protected me, I fell in love with you, you helped me to cancel my contract with the rogue company, and you helped me reach the pinnacle of my career... It was you who brought me to experience the miracles of life again and again, and to feel the endless surprises of life."
She emotionally cited many beautiful past events.
All of this joy was brought to her by Zhou Can.
"Since it's effective, let's continue with Chinese medicine. Today is only Tuesday, and we have to wait three days until Saturday. I'll call Mr. Chen first to see if I can visit him in advance."
Zhou Can knew nothing about Chinese medicine. He was worried that if he stopped taking the medicine for a few days, the creatinine level that had been lowered with great difficulty would rise again.
In fact, creatinine levels that are too high or too low are not good.
For adult males under 60 years old, the normal creatinine value should be between 57-97umol/L. For adult females under 60 years old, the creatinine value is considered normal if it is kept between 41-73umol/L.
If the creatinine value is high, it is mostly acute or acute glomerulonephritis. If it develops to the late stage of renal failure, the creatinine value is greater than 445umol/L.
This is also the reason why Zhou Can felt extremely anxious and worried when he saw his girlfriend's test results and her creatinine level continued to rise.
Some people think that a low creatinine value is a good thing.
That's not really the case.
If the level is too low, there is usually glomerular hyperfiltration. During a routine urine test, urine protein may appear and even occult blood may be positive.
So neither too high nor too low is good.
Too much is as bad as too little.
"Honey, I'm going to go back to work now! See you in the evening!"
Her face is now full of joy, and all the gloom has disappeared.
"Are you inviting me to spend the night at your place?"
Zhou Can teased her.
"You're going to die! Saying this in public!" She glared at Zhou Can in shame and anger, then turned around and left quickly.
Wei Fang was waiting for her not far away, so she didn't have to worry about her safety.
Zhou Can watched her disappear, chuckled, and took out his cell phone to call Mr. Chen.
He wanted to tell Mr. Chen the good news.
"Who is this?"
A strong and old voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. We came to you to treat our chronic renal failure a month ago. You also taught my girlfriend a set of exercise gymnastics. Do you still remember it?" Zhou Can quickly introduced himself.
"Oh, I remember now! You are Director Jian's friend. How is your girlfriend now after taking the medicine for a month? Is she getting better?"
Mr. Chen sees more than a hundred patients every Saturday, and it is not easy for him to remember Zhou Can accurately.
"Thank you for the prescription. It's very effective. I called to tell you the good news as soon as possible. I just went to the hospital for a checkup. My condition has not worsened. My creatinine level has even magically dropped. It's incredible."
Zhou Can was still extremely surprised when talking about this.
