Chapter 246: Familial Diseases

Doctor Gao didn't expect Zhou Shu to find out about this, and while approving, he hesitated.

Since he had accepted Zhou Shu as an apprentice, he decided to teach him with all his money. Whether it is the prescription you prescribe or the symptoms of the patient, you should not hide anything. But this time the patient is a little special, and it is very likely to involve family secrets, between saying it and not saying it, it really makes him embarrassed.

Zhou Shu looked at his expression and knew that he had guessed correctly. Seeing that he was silent, he only thought that Zhou Run's symptoms were different, and it was difficult to say it in front of Xiao Zheng, so he didn't continue to ask.

I only wrote down the medicinal materials one by one, and planned to look at the "Qianjin Fang" afterwards to see what kind of symptoms this prescription corresponded to, and study it carefully.

Doctor Gao and Zhou Shu talked about the prescription and the symptoms, Xiao Zheng gags, although he could answer the conversation, he finally felt bored, and he couldn't sit still for a long time, so he went to find Longjing, Houkui and others to play.

As soon as he left, Zhou Shu couldn't wait to ask, "Imperial Doctor Gao, in addition to fetal poisoning, does my fourth brother have any other symptoms?" ”

Zhou Shu has the talent to study medicine, and he is diligent and studious, and his progress in this period can be described as a thousand miles a day. If you continue like this, you will be able to become an excellent doctor in a few years. Doctor Gao even has some illnesses that he doesn't talk about, and he can diagnose them sooner or later.

After a little hesitation, I decided to tell him.

"When the young master was born, I examined his body and felt that his hands and feet were more rounded and prominent than those of other babies. Newborn babies have the softest bones, so it's hard to judge rashly, and I would have preferred that he was born with the same bone shape.

Today coincides with the onset of fetal toxicity, and I will check on him again. It was found that the joints of his hands and feet were round like beans, and the joints of other parts were also swollen......"

Zhou Shu was taken aback, "Could it be gout?" The fourth brother is only two or three months old, how can he get such a severe joint disease? ”

"So let me ask you, is gout just a joint disease?" Mrs. Gao did not answer the rhetorical question.

Zhou Shu shook his head, "Gout is divided into primary and secondary, secondary origin, often a complication of other diseases, or it may be caused by drugs; The primary is a congenital symptom and is classified as arthrosis. Not due to other medical conditions. Generally inherited between family relatives ......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but change his face, "Doctor Gao, could it be ...... Fourth brother, is this a family disease? ”

Doctor Gao was noncommittal, "Your interpretation of the type of gout is not bad. However, the key to gout is the word 'pain'. Tingling in the joints at the onset of symptoms. It is accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fatigue, fever, chills, headache, palpitations, and nausea, and redness, swelling, and heat in and around the affected joints.

Although the little young master's bone joints were swollen, there was no red fever. Second, there is no pain, and third, there is no vomiting, so it is inferred that it is not a disease of gout. ”

Zhou Shu became more and more surprised, so he simply stopped grinding the medicine and concentrated on seeking advice, "What kind of illness is the fourth brother suffering from?" ”

"The appearance of this disease is very similar to gout, and it is easy to misdiagnose. I have been practicing medicine for many years, but this is the first time I have encountered it, and there is no detailed record in the medical book, and the name of the disease is unknown. Imperial Physician Gao's face was serious, "I also suspect that this is a family disease, but after I came to the palace, I have successively examined the prince, the third young master, the prince of the world, and the two children of the prince of the world, and I have not found any of them with the same symptoms."

Not to mention, in order to guide you in your medical studies, I have almost touched all your bones, and I have not found anything abnormal. ”

Zhou Shu's heart moved, "You mean that the fourth brother's illness originated from the maternal family?" ”

"Not necessarily." Doctor Gao shook his head, "Family inheritance is extremely complicated, some fathers pass from son to son, and children to grandchildren; Some mothers pass from mother to daughter, and women pass from daughter to daughter; Some fathers pass on to daughters, and the daughters carry the Tibetan family from generation to generation; There is a mother to a son, and the son carries the Tibetan family from generation to granddaughter.

There are hidden symptoms, there are obvious symptoms, and there are semi-hidden and semi-obvious diseases. It may turn from visible to hidden, hidden and hidden, and finally stop after several generations; It is also possible to turn from hidden to visible, and the symptoms suddenly appear after how many generations of latent symptoms......

One mother, the third young master's bones and joints are very healthy. The fourth young master's illness does not mean that it is passed on by the princess.

That's why I asked the prince and princess to drop blood into the medicine in the name of medicine introduction, so that it is convenient to judge whether it is a family hereditary disease through the method of blood and gas induction. ”

It was the first time that Zhou Shu had heard that this method could be used to determine a family hereditary disease, and hurriedly asked, "How to judge this?" ”

"There are clouds in medical books, and all diseases originate from bone and blood. Although this statement is biased, it applies to blood and bone diseases. If one of the princes and princesses has a cause and uses blood and qi to trigger it, within a few days, the little young master will react.

Either the symptoms tend to worsen, or new symptoms appear, and the specific reaction can only be seen at that time. ”

A question was solved, and a new question appeared, "In that case, why don't you let your father and mother each drip blood into the medicine, and deduce in one fell swoop whether this disease originated from your father or your mother?" Why do you have to let them drip blood at the same time? ”

"The method of blood gas induction is accompanied by risks, and if the blood of one parent is used as medicine, if it happens that this party is the person who carries the disease, it is very likely to seriously aggravate the disease, and it will be out of control, and even life-threatening. Only by harmonizing the blood of the two sexes can it be controlled within the limits of safety and treatment.

After determining that the disease is hereditary, the family history of both parents can be investigated, and there will be traces to follow, and then a treatment method will be sought. ”

"What if you have been carrying a hidden disease for many years, and there is no trace to follow before?"

Imperial Physician Gao glanced at him, "Then we can only figure out how to treat it." ”

Zhou Shu was still puzzled, "Then why don't you directly explain the reason to your father and mother, and you have to use the medicine as an excuse?" ”

"Hereditary diseases are often fatal, and they are family secrets that are difficult to disclose. I rashly told me that if the prince and the princess concealed something under their concerns, wouldn't it delay the young master's illness? After confirming the symptoms, it is necessary to have a specific target to attract their attention. ”

In fact, Mrs. Gao did not directly explain, there is a deeper reason.

When he was diagnosing the pulse of King Ji'an, he accidentally learned that a few years ago, King Ji'an was not very off his horse when he was hunting, and he injured his waist and kidneys. It seems to have been cured, but it has left sequelae.

Based on his years of medical experience, it is difficult for King Ji'an to have children.

Based on the current symptoms, it is speculated that eight ~ nine times out of ten Zhou Run is a family genetic disease.

He is not interested in the ugly things hidden in the princely family, but if the disease does come from the father's family, in order to cure the disease and save people, it is necessary to find the child's biological father. Therefore, he deliberately exaggerated Zhou Run's illness and the effectiveness of the medicine, and induced King Ji'an and Fang's to drip blood into the medicine at the same time.

On the one hand, it was used to confirm whether King Ji'an was Zhou Run's biological father, and on the other hand, it also allowed the Fang family to be mentally prepared and make appropriate responses in time.

This deep reason is not easy to tell Zhou Shu, so he can only hide it.

How did he know that Zhou Shu was just an insider, and he was deeply troubled by the matter of dripping blood into medicine at this time......
