When they returned to school, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, but Lin Zhiyuan and they had not come back yet, so Li Dong took this opportunity to take out the "Yanhuang Three Needles" to study, and was surprised to find that many of the meridians and acupuncture points mentioned in it were not recorded in the existing medical books, in other words, they were unknown to modern Chinese medicine.

And it is precisely these meridians and acupuncture points that make the "chasing life" effective with a needle, with this magical technique, Li Dong is looking forward to the internship even more, and at the same time, the patients in the attached hospital feel a chill for no reason.

The next morning, Li Dong and his roommates went to the affiliated hospital to report, which is near the medical university, and it didn't take much time to walk.

Li Dong was assigned to the Department of Internal Medicine, along with the classmates of this class and other classes, both men and women, a total of 18 people in Li Dong, after registration, Director Xu of the Department of Internal Medicine arranged one or two of them to follow different doctors for internship.

The doctor who took Li Dong was called Shi Yunxia, in his forties, not only the deputy chief physician, but also said that his medical skills were also very good, and many patients and their families would ask him to be their attending doctor through various relationships, and Li Dong called him Teacher Shi.

After the group was divided, the doctors were about to go to the ward, and Li Dong followed Shiyunxia to ward 02, where there were four patients, one of whom was an old man in his sixties who was a patient of Shiyunxia, and a young man was taking care of him at this time.

Seeing Shi Yunxia coming, the young man got up to greet him first, and then shouted while shaking the old man who was resting, "Dad, Doctor Shi is here." ”

The old man opened his eyes, saw Shi Yunxia and said, "Doctor Shi, you are here." It seemed a little difficult to hold up his upper body, and his son hurriedly walked over to help him up.

During this period, Li Dong glanced at the old man's illness card hanging at the end of the bed, the old man's surname was Liu, and the disease was type 2 diabetes, which was originally called adult-onset diabetes, which mostly occurred after the age of 40, and the main causes were obesity, too little physical activity and stress, of which stress included tension, fatigue, mental stimulation, trauma, surgery, childbirth, and other major diseases.

Due to the above triggers, the patient's insulin secretion ability and the body's sensitivity to insulin are reduced, and the blood sugar rises to lead to diabetes, and the long-term existence of hyperglycemia will cause chronic damage and dysfunction of various tissues, especially the eyes, kidneys, hearts, blood vessels, and nerves.

Shi Yunxia looked at the nurse's examination and inquiry records this morning, and asked the old man about his physical condition from yesterday to now, the old man said that he was always weak, his head was also dizzy, and he even had a nightmare, dreaming that he had gone to the ghost gate for a while, his expression was extremely nervous, and his breathing became obviously short.

In the end, the old man surnamed Liu still grabbed Shi Yunxia's hand tightly and asked as if pleading: "Doctor Shi, please tell me truthfully, is my illness hopeless, am I going to die?" ”

Shi Yunxia patted the back of the old man's hand and said with relief: "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be nervous, didn't your examination record show that your blood sugar index is not bad this morning?" ”

"But I always feel sick." The old man surnamed Liu is still nervous and anxious, and his state is very unfavorable to treatment.

Regarding the worry of the old man surnamed Liu, Shi Yunxia patiently explained: "Fatigue and dizziness are the inevitable symptoms of diabetes, that is because the blood sugar has not been completely controlled, and your dream is an illusion caused by physical discomfort while sleeping, as long as you let go of your mood, cooperate with my treatment, and control your blood sugar, these symptoms will slowly disappear, you have to be patient." ”

"Doctor Shi, is that really the case, you wouldn't say that to comfort me, would you?" It can be seen that the old man surnamed Liu is still very pessimistic in his heart.

In Shi Yunxia was stunned for a moment, Li Dong suddenly answered: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Shi is not hiding anything from you, nervousness is one of the causes of diabetes, if your nerves are in a state of high tension for a long time, the body will also react accordingly, which will affect the normal operation of the endocrine system, not to mention that you are sick, even normal people will get sick, so you must let go of your mood, don't always think about this disease, and find a way to shift your attention to other places." ”

The old man surnamed Liu was stunned, then looked at his attending doctor, Shi Yunxia nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, what Dr. Xiao Li said is right. ”

The old man surnamed Liu asked again, "Doctor Shi, then how can I divert my attention?" Because this is very difficult for me now, as long as my body is a little unwell, my mind will automatically shift to this body, and I can't get rid of it at all. ”

Shi Yunxia said to Li Dong: "Xiao Li, let's talk about it." ”

"Teacher Shi, are you testing me?" Li Dong asked with a smile.

Shi Yunxia nodded with a smile and said, "Sort of." ”

"Okay." Then, Li Dong said to the old man surnamed Liu: "Mr. Liu, in fact, the method is very simple, first of all, you have to establish a belief, that is, this diabetes is not a terminal disease, as long as you cooperate with the doctor's treatment, you can still live well, don't so many diabetic patients in the world also live well?" And I think there are some diabetics around you who live like normal people, right? ”

"Well, Dr. Li, it's not difficult to establish this belief, so what's next?"

"The second is that you don't have to worry too much about some small discomforts in the body, because it is a reaction that blood sugar is not fully controlled, you just need to repeatedly say in your heart 'This is a normal reaction, go with the flow, go with the flow', besides, aren't you being treated, the medication is symptomatic, the body will only get better and better, you are still alive and well, don't worry about anything else."

The old man surnamed Liu seemed to suddenly realize and said: "Yes, aren't I still alive now, and I am receiving treatment, how can it be that the more he is treated, the more he is treated, the more he is treated, I have to believe in science and think optimistically." ”

"Mr. Liu, if you can think like this, it means that you almost want to open it, then the next thing is to divert your attention."

The old man surnamed Liu propped himself up and bowed his hand to Li Dong and said, "Doctor Li, please give me advice." ”

Li Dong waved his hand, and then asked, "Mr. Liu, can you read and write?" ”

The old man surnamed Liu was stunned for a moment and said okay, Li Dong turned his head and said to his son: "Then you can buy some joke books for your father to read, if he is tired of reading, you family members can also read to him, laughing often can not only relieve tension and relieve stress, but also promote blood circulation and enhance metabolic ability, which is of great benefit to your father's illness." ”
