076 Incurable disease

If Li Banxia had not made a mistake in diagnosis, the young master of the Zhang family would have suffered from tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis was an incurable disease in ancient times, and there was no cure at all. Even if the medication is accurate and effective, it can only control his condition and allow the patient to live for a longer period of time.

Even in modern times, tuberculosis kills as many as 3 million people every year, making it the single infectious disease that causes the highest number of deaths.

What puzzled Li Banxia was that Young Master Zhang was young, his family was rich, and his living habits were considered healthy, so why did he suffer from tuberculosis?

As far as Li Banxia knows, tuberculosis is what is commonly known as tuberculosis in modern times. Tuberculosis is more likely to be complicated by diabetes, silicosis, tumors, organ transplantation, long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids. Living in poverty, poor living conditions, and malnutrition are the reasons for the high incidence of tuberculosis in economically disadvantaged societies.

And this Young Master Zhang, she just checked his pulse, and she didn't see any other abnormalities in his body, so the above symptoms should not exist. As for the poor living conditions and malnutrition in the future, it is even more impossible to talk about it.

Unless he had a severe wind chill and was not cured in time, coupled with excessive drinking, it deteriorated his body and formed more and more severe tuberculosis. There is another element, this person does not care for his body, or it may be said that he is practicing his body.

Master Zhang stepped forward and eagerly wanted to know his son's true condition, "Doctor Li, what disease does my son have?" ”

Li Banxia was a little embarrassed, but now that he had to tell them the truth. They fully cooperated with the treatment, and Young Master Zhang would be able to suffer less, but if they continued to keep them in the dark, I was afraid that things would be more serious.

"Master Zhang, I want to know what symptoms Ling Lang had when he became ill before I came." Li Banxia is accustomed to making a diagnosis only after everything is clear, so that the diagnosis can be made more certainly. Even though the pulse was already clearly showing his illness.

"My son is coughing up blood, hemoptysis doesn't stop~~ We asked him where the pain was. He didn't say anything, just shook his head and said that he was okay and that he would just sleep for a while. But looking at him like that, how can he call it okay! Look at it, I'm so sick now, this stupid kid, how can I toss my body like this outside~~"

Master Zhang was so anxious that he patted his legs and paced back and forth, and then ran to the bedside to see how his son was doing, and his concern was beyond words.

"What are the other symptoms besides hemoptysis?"

Master Zhang lowered his head and thought. I didn't come up with a reason for a long time. Still a lady, sitting on the edge of the bed while holding her son's hand, she cried and said, "There must still be a chest, I see that my son was covered with a straight chest when he became ill." He didn't say it, but I can tell he must have been in pain—"

Li Banxia listened to the narration of Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, and his face became even more solemn.

"Little Doctor Li-" Master Zhang looked at him, ready to bear his son's illness.

"Master Zhang, madam. Ling Lang's illness is...... It's tuberculosis. ”

"Ahh

"Doctor Li, what are you talking about, you say my son is ......?" Madame couldn't bear to say the last two words, her eyes stared at her son lying on the bed, and tears kept falling.

Li Banxia also nodded a little heavily. "Ling Lang's illness is indeed tuberculosis, and it is tuberculosis...... Advanced. Li Banxia never felt that being a doctor would be so cruel, when she spit out the last two words. I clearly felt the helplessness of being a doctor.

Tuberculosis can be divided into six categories according to the extent of lung lesions in patients.

Mild tuberculosis, moderate tuberculosis, moderate cavitary tuberculosis. These three phases, while a little tricky, are not all hopeless. As long as it is diagnosed early, and before it has spread or comorbidities have developed. Usually people can be cured with more than six months of correct and effective medication. and can return to normal people's lives.

As for severe pulmonary tuberculosis, severe cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous hydropleurises, it is a very difficult disease, and it can even be said that there is nothing to be done.

When tuberculosis is severe, it is easy to cause other complications, such as chest pain, shock, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, suffocation.

Judging from what Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang said, as well as Young Master Zhang's pulse, Young Master Zhang's tuberculosis has reached an advanced stage.

In other words, it can be said that there is no medicine stone, and you can only take one step at a time.

Li Banxia is not a god, and her medical skills are not particularly clever, she just works harder and harder than others, and she is also a little more interested in medical skills. She is also powerless for certain conditions.

I don't know how long it took for Master Zhang to recover from his grief and find his voice. "Dr. Li, is there any cure for my son's illness?"

“……”

"Doctor Li, can you help me think of a way......

"Master Zhang, I can only help Young Master Zhang get two stitches now to revive him. After that, I will dispense medicine to suppress Young Master Zhang's condition, and then look for a good way to treat the disease along the way. However, the lord and the lady also know that the late stage of tuberculosis can be said to be ...... There is no doctor in the medicine stone, and I can't say if I'm sure of it. ”

"Little Doctor Li, I know what you say, but please do your best." Master Zhang arched his hand to Li Banxia, and his voice instantly aged for ten years, without the majesty that Li Banxia heard outside the door.

Li Banxia nodded, it seems that this is the only way to do it at present.

"By the way, Master Zhang, does Ling Lang like to drink?" In general, in the absence of other causes, it is likely that this disease is caused by alcoholism. When she had just entered, she saw a jar of wine hanging outside the door, and few people had put it there.

Unless the owner of the house is a big drinker.

"Before my son left home, he liked to drink some wine, not cow drink, but taste. It's a shame to say that we don't know the specific situation all these years. ”

Li Banxia nodded silently, turned around and took his medicine box, and took out a few silver needles with shiny needles from it.

Pierced on several acupuncture points on Young Master Zhang's body, Young Master Zhang's chest eased in one breath, his body was a lot more comfortable, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Young Master Zhang fell into a coma, but he was just a general lethargy, which was caused by fatigue and was not in any danger. It was Li Banxia who stood aside and asked Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang about his illness.

At this time, seeing that he was sleeping for a longer time, he had some symptoms of shortness of breath, and I guessed that it might be that a mouthful of phlegm accumulated in his chest in his sleep, which was very dangerous. Then he took out the silver needle on the spot, made him wake up, and used the power of the silver needle to restore the smoothness of his chest.

"cough cough cough ~~ cough ~~" As soon as he woke up, Young Master Zhang lay on the bed again and coughed dryly.

Maybe he didn't want to spread the disease to others, and whenever he coughed, he always covered his mouth and nose with the corners of his clothes, and even when he spoke, he kept his voice down.

Li Banxia looked at his movements and behaved gently, like a well-educated person, not like a drunkard who drank cows.

"Ming'er, how are you, are you feeling better?" Master Zhang thought that his son didn't know that he was so sick, and in order to relax him, he planned to hide his illness from him for the time being. It was only said that he accidentally caught a cold and suffered from a severe wind chill.

"Ming'er, you're scared to death, you kid, why don't you pay more attention to your body~~" Mrs. Zhang wanted to hug her son and cry, but was stopped by Master Zhang. Glaring at her, Madame nodded tearfully.

No one wants to see such a thing happen. But at present, it is still Ming'er's illness that matters. Master Zhang made up his mind that even if he invited a famous doctor from all over the country, he would also cure his son's illness.

There are so many famous doctors in the world, he doesn't believe that even tuberculosis can't be cured, he has to have faith and have faith in his son. The old man repeatedly persuaded himself like this, but the bad premonition that rose in his heart made his heart skip a beat, and he was uneasy, but he was helpless.

"Dad, mother, don't worry, the child is much better-" Young Master Zhang lay on the bed and smiled warmly at the two of them. Even if his body is suffering from such a big illness, he can still show a peaceful smile, Li Banxia has met many patients, but no one can be like him.

He takes things like illness and pain so lightly, or maybe it's because he doesn't care at all.

"This is ......" Young Master Zhang noticed Li Banxia standing at the foot of the bed, so he asked his father.

"Ming'er, this is Dr. Xiao Li, she was the one who woke you up just now~~"

Young Master Zhang nodded at Li Banxia and puffed up a sickly smile: "Doctor Li, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Young Master Zhang is polite, this is my business." Li Banxia gave him a faint smile back.

Young Master Zhang, named Zhang Cianming, is the youngest son of Master Zhang, and he is also the most loved by Master Zhang and his wife.

"Dad, mother, the child has some things that I want to consult Dr. Li alone, can I ask my father and mother to go back and rest first, the child's illness makes your second elder worry about it." Young Master Zhang suddenly made this request, which surprised the three people in the room.

But Master Zhang thought that his son was concerned about his condition, and he was afraid that the two elders would worry about him. So when Li Banxia accompanied them out, he said something, and went back to the house with a sad face.

When Li Banxia returned to the house, Young Master Zhang had already sat up from the bed with his own support. He got up and lay down on the table, still holding a jug of wine in his hand. While coughing, he poured wine into his throat.

"Young Master Zhang, how can you drink at this time?" Li Banxia stepped forward and wanted to snatch the wine jug from his hand, but before he could reach over, he quietly clamped it with his middle finger and index finger.

"Little Doctor Li-" Young Master Zhang called her, "If you cure my disease, you must make me give up drinking, I see that you still don't need to treat this disease, go back now-"

After speaking, he tilted his head and took another big sip of wine.
