I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 278

The decoration of Elena and Ava's house has been completed. Zhou Qiao went to see it and found it to be really good, but it still needs ventilation to disperse formaldehyde.

Although she is very happy to have a new home, Ava is still reluctant to leave the clinic. After all, she has lived in a clinic since she was a child and will have to move out in a few months. It will not be easy to accept it for a while.

Elena joked: "Either you stay in the clinic and forget it, I will live in the new house!"

"That won't work, I'm coming too!" Ava quit.Then, the little bit of "reluctance" disappeared.Nostalgic is nostalgic, but after all, life always moves forward.

Zhou Qiao told them that they must learn to "let go" and "let go" of things they don't need or use.

Elena and Ava looked at him resentfully: "You won't abandon us in the future, right?"

Zhou Qiao quickly promised: "Nothing. You will always be my little baby!"

The first people he favored after he came back were the twin girls. That night, the two girls begged for mercy again and again. In fact, Zhou Qiao's strength increased again, and they couldn't resist it together.

During the battle, they were defeated one after another, and it was a complete mess.

At noon the next day, he sneaked out and met Stephanie in the car.Because Stephanie has not been diagnosed and treated for so long, the second personality of the slutty witch can no longer be suppressed.

Stephanie's main personality: "Hey, now Joe is back, what will you do? Let you come out to make trouble, let you come out to make trouble!"

Then, after the second personality was released, he was kept submissive by Zhou Qiao, and it was estimated that he would fall into a deep sleep for a few months.

In the evening, I secretly went to Murphy's new house.

Without Zhou Qiao's nourishment, Murphy's temperament became a little cold again, but after Zhou Qiao came back, her body temperature soared and remained at 40°C as soon as he touched her.

It cannot be raised any higher, otherwise the body will be unable to bear it. 40°C is just right, and the gene transcription and expression in Murphy's body begin to change, which can effectively alleviate autism.As time passes, one day the genes that cause autism will disappear completely.

Zhou Qiao estimates that this time is not too far away, at most five or six years, maybe three or four years.

In addition, the body's fever within a short period of time has many other benefits, such as inhibiting the growth of pathogens, stimulating the immune system, improving the body's antioxidant capacity, accelerating recovery, etc.

Murphy's body temperature cannot be maintained for too long, so Zhou Qiao needs to work quickly. If it takes more than an hour, Murphy will become seriously dehydrated.

Fortunately, they are all doctors and know how to replenish water and electrolytes.

When drinking water, you cannot take in a large amount of fresh water in a short period of time, otherwise you will suffer from "water intoxication".For example, after exercising, someone sweats profusely, drinks two to three liters or more within a few minutes, and becomes "water intoxicated."

Water intoxication, also known as dilutional hyponatremia, refers to when the total amount of water taken in by the body greatly exceeds the amount of water excreted, resulting in water retention in the body, causing a decrease in plasma osmotic pressure and an increase in circulating blood volume.It can be divided into two categories: acute water intoxication and chronic water intoxication.

In mild cases, it can be corrected by stopping water intake and removing excess water from the body. In severe cases, it can lead to permanent damage to the nervous system or death.

Therefore, it is important to drink water, especially when you have diarrhea. You have to drink light salt water, sip it in small sips, drink a little after a while, and drink a little after a while.

If prescribed by a doctor, it is usually oral rehydration salt, whose main ingredients are sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate or sodium bicarbonate, and glucose.

If the condition is too serious and you need infusion, you can call compound electrolyte injection or replenish electrolytes through vein. The commonly used ones are 0.9% sodium chloride injection, 10% potassium chloride injection, 25% magnesium sulfate injection, and 10% glucose. Calcium acid injection, etc.

Since Murphy and Zhou Qiao often suffer from mild dehydration after joining together, oral rehydration solution is always available at home, and the improved version tastes pretty good.

If Zhou Qiao wants to drink, Murphy will feed him orally.

As soon as Park Xiuzhu saw Zhou Qiao come back, Elena, Ava, Murphy and Stephanie all glowed one after another. She had been there, how could she not know the reason?I touched my dry skin and felt envious.

"It's a pity, I can only envy you." Park Xiuzhu sighed softly.

Rachel came over to report her work to Zhou Qiao. After the report, she couldn't help but twist her hips and said, "Boss, you have great medical skills. Can you help me see a doctor?"

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Qiao asked.

Seeing a doctor is certainly not a problem.Zhou Qiao provides free medical consultation to clinic employees, which is always a benefit of the clinic.So when everyone has a minor problem, they will come to Zhou Qiao.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to my boss.

Rachel shrugged and said sheepishly: "Aren't you using your free time these days to catch up on dramas? The kind of overbearing president and the like are good-looking, but after sitting for a long time and lacking exercise, my butt suddenly hurts."

"What kind of pain is it? Where is it specifically?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"It's right here, it's right here." Aunt Rachel stuck her butt over and said, "When it hurts, I really can't bear it. Even taking painkillers doesn't help. It's like someone is cutting my flesh with a knife!" Zhou Qiao said I pinched and pressed, checked her carefully, and then told her: "You have a problem with your piriformis muscle."

"Piriformis muscle?" Rachel suddenly realized that although she was a physician, she also knew where the piriformis muscle was.

The piriformis muscle is a muscle deep in the buttocks. It originates from the front of the sacrum and ends at the greater trochanter of the femur. Because its shape is similar to a pear, it is called "piriformis muscle".

Zhou Qiao explained to her: "Our usual hip rotation, lower limb external rotation and other movements require the action of the piriformis muscle. Various lesions of the piriformis muscle itself compress the sciatic nerve, etc., which is called piriformis syndrome. Symptoms are usually more common in middle-aged and older women, and they tend to occur on the right side.”

"For example, if you suddenly stand up after sitting for a long time, you will feel soreness in your buttocks, and you may even be unable to stand, and you need to take it easy; or if you have obvious symptoms such as back pain, butt pain, leg pain, etc., you will be treated according to the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and stay in bed for several months, but you will not be able to do anything. It has no effect. In these cases, it may be piriformis syndrome."

"So Rachel, you should exercise more and don't be addicted to your mobile phone." Zhou Qiao warned.

However, the charm of mobile phones is really great, and most people can’t resist it.Not even for adults, let alone children.Therefore, Park Soo-joo rarely lets Park Yoon-ah look at her mobile phone, and even if she does, it can only be limited to a few days a month.And it doesn’t take more than an hour at a time.

As for prevention and treatment, there are too many methods and postures.

Fortunately, Rachel's symptoms were not very serious. After all, she had only been watching the show for less than two months. So Zhou Qiao thought about it, called everyone from the clinic, and held a small meeting to talk about Rachel's symptoms. Symptoms for everyone to pay attention to.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Qiao plans to teach everyone a set of fitness gymnastics, with a total of 18 training postures. Once you are familiar with these [-] postures, you can do them three to five times a day. Not only can you prevent and treat piriformis syndrome, but you can also It can also strengthen the body, prolong life, manage body shape, and beautify the face.

As soon as they heard that it could prolong life or beautify their skin, everyone got excited and started learning it very carefully.

The older ones, like Rachel, Vivica, and Jennard, are more interested in prolonging life; while the younger ones, like Park Soo-joo, Kim Hee-jin, and Zhou Qiao, are more interested in beauty and beauty. .

This set of aerobics was redeemed by Zhou Qiao from the system. It is quite superb, with almost no unnecessary movements.It is also a way of giving back to everyone, thanking everyone for their hard work and dedication to the clinic.

Of course, Zhou Qiao will not treat everyone badly with benefits such as half-year bonus and year-end bonus.

In addition, for Rachel's condition, Zhou Qiao also suggested that ice and hot compresses could be used alternately to relieve the condition.Hot compresses can increase blood supply and speed up healing; ice compresses can relieve inflammation in the piriformis muscle and reduce pain.

By relieving inflammation of the piriformis muscle, it reduces irritation to the sciatic nerve and prevents nerve pain from radiating down the leg.

As for medication, just take some painkillers.Anyway, in American homes, there isn’t much else. Painkillers come in large packages of one thousand tablets.Well, Americans are also very good at stocking up on medicines when needed.

But no matter what, it is always beneficial to have more medicine at home.Even if it expires, throw it away.

Zhou Qiao runs his own clinic, so there is no need to say much about preparing medicine.Maybe the most commonly used thing at home is birth control pills?
Except for Luo Ya, the girls are still young and don't want children.Zhou Qiao himself was not actually prepared.

For piriformis syndrome, in fact, the best method is acupuncture and massage in traditional Chinese medicine, which will have quite good curative effects.

In some diseases, traditional Chinese medicine has advantages.

For example, there are basically no good solutions for piriformis syndrome in European and American countries.

Take medicine?There are three types of drugs: anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics. If it is too severe, some local anesthetics (lidocaine, procaine, etc.) or steroid drugs (dexamethasone, etc.) are used, which almost all have side effects.

Operation?Some serious cases can indeed be surgically explored to check whether there are any changes in the muscles, whether there are scars and adhesions, and to relieve the compression of the nerves.

However, the operation process is very harmful to the human body, and complications such as blood vessel and nerve damage, wound infection, and fat liquefaction may occur.

However, surgical treatment is not a one-time solution. It may recur after surgery and may require another surgery to reduce scar adhesion and release nerves.

Moreover, for such a small problem, it’s not a big deal to get stabbed all the time, right?Not cost-effective, right?

So Rachel's first choice was to take painkillers. When the painkillers didn't work, she could only rely on Zhou Qiao's fitness method.

The principle of this kind of physical technique is also the method of holding hands in traditional Chinese medicine.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, piriformis syndrome is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, as well as the accumulation of cold and temperature, and belongs to the category of "muscle paralysis".

The use of acupuncture, combined with massage and cupping according to different symptoms, can directly stimulate the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve, and play an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, menstrual relaxation and antispasmodic role.

Dredge the meridians, harmonize Qi and blood, and relieve pain.

Many theories of traditional Chinese medicine have their practicality and have been tested in practice, and are by no means mysterious.
