The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Can’t Open My Mouth Anymore

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Du over there can’t diagnose for now either, but it shouldn’t be a middle ear infection, the ear canal is very clean."

After a while, Liu Yiqing ran back.

"Just in time to do a CT with the wrist together." Liu Banxia nodded.

"Actually, when I was testing his hearing, I noticed that the outer edge of the ear canal is still very clean. I don’t know what the problem is, I hope it’s not an incurable condition."

"Sigh... the child’s parents are really worried." Liu Yiqing sighed.

"This is real life, you never know when you’ll encounter some hardships." Liu Banxia said.

"You also know the situation of that woman, right? She’s recovering quite well, at least it proves that my skills are quite good."

"It’s just that the pathology results haven’t come out yet, but I think the chances of metastasis are quite high. There will be several more rounds of chemotherapy next, which is also torturous."

"Teacher Liu, why do you think after this event, I don’t really pay attention to them anymore?" Liu Yiqing asked curiously.

"Some things are just like this, no matter how you avoid them, you have to face them bravely. Once you truly face it, it’s actually not a big deal." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"When facing them, as long as you maintain a rational level of calm, I think there’s no problem. You were actually avoiding them before, not wanting to face them, and it’s probably a kind of deep-seated fear of them as well."

Liu Yiqing thought for a moment and nodded, maybe that’s also a reason.

Although she often sympathizes with patients, she really can’t find sympathy for her sister-in-law. At most, she just glances at the ward records every day, and that’s it.

This is really not concern, but to keep informed and avoid being deceived.

Although she is related by blood to her brother, this family bond has long faded away.

"Alright, follow me upstairs to clean the patient’s wound. This time you’re doing it, and I’m supervising." Liu Banxia said.

"Is it the patient with the diabetic foot?" Liu Yiqing asked.

"Yes, it’s just a change of dressing, but it needs to be done more carefully than usual." Liu Banxia said.

Liu Yiqing nodded, indeed this is a task worth participating in.

The care for diabetic foot is much more demanding than regular wound cleaning and dressing changes. It must be done with great care. Also, during the dressing change, try to minimize pressure on the wound, otherwise it takes longer to heal.

Just when they were about to head upstairs, a group of people with anxious expressions entered from the entrance.

The team leader also saw Liu Banxia at this time and quickly approached him, "Director Liu, these are the family members of the patients who have just arrived in Binhai City."

"Okay, go to our service desk and register first, then you will know which ward it is. Everyone, don’t worry, all the patients in our hospital are receiving proper care."

However, even if he said this, the worry was still there without seeing their relatives.

"We also need to manage this, how come there are children here? The hospital environment is so complex, bringing children is too dangerous." Liu Banxia said to this comrade.

"Sigh... we had no choice, there are even more people at the city hospital and the first hospital. We rented two buses locally to bring everyone over." The comrade sighed.

"It’s understandable that they worry about their family’s safety, but some of them have already seen it on video, normally one caregiver is enough."

"They don’t think about how to arrange lodging for so many people coming here. Director Zheng is currently contacting their units to see if they can arrange dormitories, otherwise the cost will be even higher."

"These are all unavoidable issues, but we do have regulations here. Later, we will arrange for someone to explain it to them. Otherwise, the ward getting chaotic would affect other patients." Liu Banxia said.

The comrade nodded, he was also helpless.

If it weren’t for needing to rent local buses, they would have come back a long time ago.

"President Qi, arrange for someone to explain the rules to them later, keep one caregiver around, and clear out the crowd in an hour. There are too many people." Liu Banxia said as he walked to Qi Wentai’s side.

"It’s mainly the children, fortunately, they’re all going to your department, so only one floor is chaotic on your end. I can’t tell if they’re here to take care of the kids or the patients." Qi Wentai also made a complaint.

Despite the complaints, necessary measures still needed to be taken. The nurse called out the patients’ names and then led the family members to the second department’s ward one by one.

It was all a bit chaotic and noisy for almost half an hour, before Liu Banxia and Liu Yiqing finally arrived at the ward of the patient with diabetic foot.

"Director Liu, what’s going on outside? Why is it so chaotic?" the patient’s wife asked curiously.

"Wasn’t there a car accident yesterday? Now those patients’ families have all come over. Don’t worry, we’ll give them an hour to chat, and then we’ll clear the people out." Liu Banxia said.

"We don’t mind, we just thought something happened." the patient’s wife said with a smile.

"What’s wrong? You were doing fine when I checked on you this morning. Why do you seem so down now?" Liu Banxia looked at the patient.

"Sigh, thinking about how I can’t eat anything in the future makes me feel frustrated. Even if I could eat, I wouldn’t dare." The patient said.

"Take it slow. Once you’ve got your blood sugar under control, you can have a taste occasionally." Liu Banxia said.

"Director Liu, do you think it’s okay if I take insulin?" The patient asked.

"Didn’t I already tell you yesterday? Whether it’s insulin or the metformin you’re currently taking, the effect is essentially the same." Liu Banxia said.

"Both are for sugar control, adjusting the dosage according to your diet structure. If your diet structure changes, neither insulin nor metformin will be very effective."

"The advantage of insulin is that it works quickly. You’ve seen on TV that some people inject before meals, but that’s only for blood sugar during that particular time."

"But if you’re only using it for eating, it won’t be good for your health in the long run. Start by adjusting it for a while; once it’s stabilized, you can occasionally have a bite. Just don’t overdo it."

"It’s not just about having diabetes. Even people without diabetes who eat excessively will encounter issues."

"Did you hear that? I advised you, but you didn’t listen." The patient’s wife said.

"They all say that the amount of food you eat in your lifetime is fixed, and the amount of meat too. Eat more pumpkins later on; they say that sugar isn’t really sugar."

"That sounds good; actually, there are many fruits you can eat, like apples with a lower glycemic index." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Diet-wise, eat more whole grains and vegetables. When eating, start with the vegetables and then move on to the main course. You can eat more leafy greens as they’re rich in dietary fiber."

"I want to eat meat." The patient said pitifully.

The patient’s wife looked at him helplessly, "From now on, just watch me eat. When you can watch me eat and not feel tempted, you’ll have truly mastered it."

"Anyway, I’m not going to fuss over you. You decide for yourself. Is it life or cravings? It’s an either-or situation that even I understand."

The patient was quite helpless because there really wasn’t much choice. Survival comes first, otherwise, there’d be no opportunity left.

"Director Liu, will his foot really take that long to heal?" The patient’s wife asked.

"Probably, but we can’t just let you go home." Liu Banxia said.

"He needs comprehensive control now so we can save this foot. If you go home, it definitely won’t be as good as our environment here, and it might even get wet or worse."

"Right now, he’s dealing with diabetic foot issues. Yesterday’s tests didn’t come out well; his peripheral nerves aren’t very responsive to stimuli."

"Be careful about water temperature when washing his feet at home and avoid burns. He should wear loose shoes and socks, protect himself as much as possible, and check his feet every night before bed."

The patient could only nod because he knew his current situation, and this would be his standard of living going forward.

At that moment, the cafeteria staff pushed a trolley over to deliver meals to each room.

"I can only eat coarse grain porridge and a little pickle. And look at her, ordering liver tips." The patient grumbled, like he was tattling.

"What else can I do, huh? I still have to take care of you, right? I have to tempt you, so you’ll remember and overcome it. At night, I ordered spicy chicken too; I’m craving something spicy." The patient’s wife said as she took the meal.

With one sentence, the patient was left speechless.

Liu Banxia and the others in the ward found the couple amusing. Despite the wife’s teasing, it was clear they loved each other.

"Teacher Liu, take a look and see how I’ve managed this."

Just then, Liu Yiqing had finished changing the dressings.

"Yes, it’s good. You’re ready to graduate in debridement procedures and can even consider further training in the proctology department." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Better not, I’m afraid if I go, I won’t come back." Liu Yiqing quickly said.

"You guys should eat too. You can also massage your feet when you’re free; it will help with blood circulation in your feet." Liu Banxia said.

"Thank you, Director Liu. Thank you, Dr. Liu." The patient’s wife said.

Liu Banxia waved his hand and led Liu Yiqing out.

"Oh come on, even if you don’t like it, you should eat heartily. Why aren’t you opening your mouth? You’ve got food everywhere."

"I didn’t do it on purpose; I feel like I can’t open my mouth wide. It’s just up to here, can’t open it any larger."

Listening to the conversation of the couple behind him, Liu Banxia quickly turned around, sweat starting to form on his forehead.
