Live broadcast: I am an upright Chinese medicine practitioner, and all my patients died online

After Qin Jiang's explanation, Liu Yan suddenly had a new perspective on the doctors in the clinic.

"I used to think that those doctors were just like our current doctors, but now it seems that they are different."

Qin Jiang nodded.

“Although our doctors are now sitting in the clinic, the people who come to see the doctor are not necessarily from nearby.”

"The most important thing is that our method of treating patients has also changed. We now use Western medicine, which treats the symptoms instead of the person. So no matter where you are from, as long as you come to me for a check-up, I will know what's wrong with you after looking at your symptoms and prescribe medicine accordingly."

"Plus, there are so many workers now, and the population is so mobile, so it's really hard for doctors to get a comprehensive understanding of a patient based on their lifestyle and other things."

After listening to this, Liu Yan nodded, but her mood was a little complicated.

She always felt that the old way of seeing a doctor was more humane, as if the doctor was the most important person in the area.

But it’s different now. Doctors have become completely professional and everyone thinks it’s just a job.

Liu Yan didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

Just as Liu Yan was thinking this, a couple walked in with a child.

The child's legs seemed unable to walk, and his face showed a very painful expression.

The middle-aged woman brought her child to the triage desk and sat down. She then cried to Qin Jiang, "Doctor Qin, please help my son Erlang. His legs are always cramping. We don't know what's wrong with him. We feel so sorry for him."

Qin Jiang pointed to the card reader on the table and said, "You swipe the card first, and then I'll take a closer look at it for him."

The man pulled out three ID cards from his wallet and swiped them through the card reader.

Soon the information of the three people appeared on the computer.

The man's name is Yang Dong, and he is the owner of a nearby auto repair shop. The woman's name is Shi Ying, and she is a waitress at a nearby restaurant.

The boy in front of them, grimacing in pain, was their second son, Yang Xiaoer.

Yang Xiaoer looked quite thin, as if he was just bones underneath his skin. Qin Jiang's first impression was that this child was probably malnourished.

After reading the information about the family of three, Qin Jiang said, "Tell me in detail what happened to him."

Quartz nudged Yang Dong with her elbow, signaling him to speak.

Yang Dong organized his words and then said, "We found out something was wrong with this kid about two months ago. At first he just had a leg cramp, and we didn't take it seriously, thinking he must have had a lot of fun outside, so he got a leg cramp when he came back."

"As a result, his leg cramps became more and more frequent. At first, he had cramps once a week, then once a day, and now he has cramps several times a day."

"This child is really scared by the cramps now. He doesn't even dare to walk now, for fear of another cramp."

Qin Jiang said calmly: "Generally speaking, cramps have nothing to do with walking. Generally, cramps are related to excessive exercise or high-intensity exercise." "If walking can cause cramps, then your child is probably doomed."

When they heard Qin Jiang say this, the couple were stunned and opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Seeing the two of them like this, Qin Jiang said, "I am just making a metaphor, don't take it seriously. No one is so easily ruined. Your child should be growing up now, right? Can he get enough nutrition?"

The reason why Qin Jiang asked this was that he saw that Yang Xiaoer seemed to be thinner than the average person and looked like a bamboo pole.

Shi Ying quickly said, "We definitely try to keep him up with nutrition. We feed him milk and eggs every day, and he is not picky about food, so there should be no problem with nutrition."

"It's just that this child is like this. No matter how much he eats, he just doesn't gain weight. It worries me to death. It feels to us like he eats so much but doesn't absorb any nutrients at all."

Qin Jiang nodded, and then said: "Then let's draw blood for a check to see if there are any problems with the various physical indicators."

"If it's malnutrition, then it's normal to have cramps. The most important thing is, if the child is really not picky about food as you said, and drinks milk and eats eggs every day, then he can't still be like this. We need to consider whether there are parasites in his body and whether he needs to be dewormed."

After hearing what Qin Jiang said, all the netizens in the live broadcast room started talking about it.

"The word 'parasite' is so familiar. I think I only heard this word when I was a child."

"Yes, we all had deworming when we were young. Have you all taken those sugar pills? I once took a sugar pill and went to the toilet, and a super long and huge parasite came out of my body. It scared me to death."

"Hahaha, it seems that we all have the same experience. I think this is probably because when we were young, we didn't control what we ate as strictly as we do now, so we might accidentally eat parasites. It seems that children nowadays rarely encounter this problem."

"Although there are fewer children nowadays with parasites in their bodies, there are still many cases of heavy metal poisoning."

"Indeed, food safety is a big problem nowadays. It always feels like there is no way to prevent it. Adults are still better because their bodies have a certain ability to detoxify and resist toxins, but children really have no way to deal with it. It feels like they suffer a lot when they get sick."

While netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing the matter, Qin Jiang had already asked Yang Xiaoer to go to the pharmacy for a check-up.

At the same time, Qin Jiang continued to ask: "Besides leg cramps, has your child felt any discomfort recently?"

Shi Ying thought about it carefully, and then said to Qin Jiang: "I don't know if this counts, but recently he has been telling me that he has pain in his body."

Qin Jiang immediately became interested.

"What kind of pain is it?"

Quartz said: "He said it felt like there were tendons in his back pulling and it hurt, as if someone was picking at his tendons with a needle."

"But what he said was too scary. I also thought it was too exaggerated, so I didn't take it seriously. Doctor Qin, is what he said true or false? Will it really be that painful?"

Qin Jiang seemed to have thought of something, nodded and said: "If it is a tendon nodule, then it is indeed possible." (End of this chapter)
