57 God's Medicine (Wu Qingchen Jiachang)
"Why is this person staring at us so closely!" Wu Xiaoqing was very uncomfortable with this prince's eyes, especially since this person's hand kept pressing his sword.
"He is the son of the king, the prince of the kingdom of Elis," the search and rescue team told Wu Xiaoqing, "We are liars and heretics in his eyes." β
"So he's waiting at the door to kill us, right?"
"That's just one of the reasons," the search and rescue team said, "and he wants us to put his father to death." β
"No descendants," Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the prince, "If the king really burps, I'll be the first to kill him." β
When the four of them walked into the king's bedroom, the first thing Wu Xiaoqing saw was not the king, but eight heavily armed guards. There were four of them on each side of the side, each with his hand on the hilt of his sword, like the prince at the door. Look at the king himself, who is lying on the bed at this moment, skinny and humanoid skeleton.
Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the king, stepped forward, and the voice of the search and rescue team asked for him, "May I ask Your Majesty, did you eat anything yesterday?" β
The king shook his head, according to the protocol of starvation therapy, he now dared to eat a meal every two days, and this meal was to be eaten in four times, and each time he dared to eat something the size of an egg. Other than that, drink plenty of water.
"Allow me, Your Majesty, not to hurt." Then Wu Xiaoqing picked up the blood collection pen.
He skillfully followed what he had learned in the hospital, twisted the blood pen, found the disposable blood collection device from the medical kit he had brought, put it in, closed it again, and looked at the king again.
The king nodded, and Wu Xiaoqing aimed at one of the king's fingers and pressed it gently.
The king frowned slightly, and Wu Xiaoqing hurriedly pressed the wound for him with a cotton wool. After doing this, he carefully put the blood needle into the blood glucose meter and put the test strip according to the regulations...... After waiting for about ten minutes, Wu Xiaoqing saw the result.
"It's basically confirmed," the search and rescue team told Wu Xiaoqing, "type 2 diabetes, and then do a glucose tolerance test." β
"What does your god say?" The king stared at Wu Xiaoqing's face and couldn't help but look forward to it, because the expression he saw from Wu Xiaoqing's face was a kind of relieved relief, as if he saw the expected answer from the artifact in his hand to communicate with God.
"God hasn't answered yet," the search and rescue team said, "God needs more blood." β
Wu Xiaoqing asked someone to bring over a cup, take a bowl of water, and then take out a small packet of prepared glucose from his pocket and put it in the water cup.
In order to reassure the king, Wu Xiaoqing first took a sip of his own water cup and ate a little glucose powder. Then he handed the cup to the king: "Drink slowly, Your Majesty." β
The king glanced at Wu Xiaoqing suspiciously, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, so he took a small sip of water lightly and frowned: "This is sugar water!" "For patients with sweet uria, sugar is poison!
The surrounding guards all drew their swords in a hurry, but the king raised his hand to stop them, he was waiting for Wu Xiaoqing to explain.
"It's sugar water, your majesty," the search and rescue party told the king, "and if our god doesn't know how sugar gets into your blood, how can he heal you?" This is the most important part of the ritual of communion with our gods, just a little sugar, Your Majesty, there is no danger. β
Before drinking water, the king told all the guards: "If I die, kill every single one of them!" Then he started drinking water.
At this time, Wu Xiaoqing began to admire the search and rescue team, and insisted on interpreting the very scientific treatment plan in a god-like language. If they tell the king that they are doing a glucose tolerance test for him, this test is to help the king make a targeted treatment plan...... I'm afraid that before they finish speaking, they don't know how many holes they have been stabbed by these eight swords.
After drinking, you have to wait, according to the usual process, half an hour, an hour, two hours, three blood collections before the final diagnosis.
"Two hours later? Will your God drive away sickness for me? The king asked Wu Xiaoqing.
"No," Wu Xiaoqing shook his head, and the search and rescue team replied, "but let us bring you a miracle medicine that can help you control your condition." β
"Controlling the condition?" The king was not satisfied with this answer, "And then starve to death in bed!" β
"Of course not, Your Majesty," said the search and rescue team, "that control means that you can eat and drink normally after taking your medicine." β
The king was excited and immediately sat up from the bed: "Normal diet?!" β
"Yes, Your Majesty," said the search and rescue team, "if there are no accidents, you can ask your chef to prepare your dinner for you, and now you can have him prepare your recipe, and of course as your doctor, I would advise you to eat less bread but more meat." β
The king was almost incredulous: "You can eat meat as much as you want?!" "Damn meat, the thought of meat made the king begin to drool at the thought of it. How long has it been, how long has it been since I've eaten a normal meal!
All the healers' advice to the king was to eat less meat and more vegetarianism. Although medicine was not developed in this era, it did not prevent many people from observing that a vegetarian diet has certain benefits for diabetes. It's not that the vegetarian diet itself has any therapeutic effect on diabetes, but because many vegetables have a low amount of starch and sugar, and naturally have a relatively small impact on blood sugar, so all along, the king feels like his own horse, and what he can eat every day is all kinds of grass.
And the doctor in front of him dared to say in front of him that he could let himself eat meat?
"Yes," the search and rescue team ascertained the king's thoughts, "God tells me that your body is too weak now and needs to eat more meat." β
Two hours later, the search and rescue team had an accurate grasp of the king's condition.
Type 2 diabetes, fortunately, is not serious β and because it is not severe, you can live for three years. If it is type 1, with the level of treatment in this era, it may kill you in one seizure. The king himself was in good health, and he was also strong-willed, and he was very strict with his diet plan. The search and rescue team looked at all the king's dietary records, and in the past three years, the king basically lived by eating vegetable roots, tree bark and other cellulose. This king takes his life very seriously, and will resolutely cancel many foods as long as there are uncomfortable symptoms after eating.
So this king is very lucky, basically there are not too many complications, you know, even in modern times, even with various medical treatments, diabetics will often end up difficult to maintain because of various complications.
"If you're feeling hungry, you can eat now," the search and rescue team told Wang Guodao, and then Wu Xiaoqing took out an insulin from the cooler and told the king, "In the name of the land god, you will be safe." β
β¦β¦
The waiter was called in, and when he came out again, the prince was surprised to find that there were no guards behind him, let alone four corpses.
As the waiter hurried past the prince, he whispered, and in a barely audible voice, to the prince: "The king wants to ask for a cook." β
"Chef?!" The prince's eyes widened in surprise, "Those four guys dare to let their father eat?!" β
But the attendant had already walked away quickly, and no one answered his question, and the prince wandered restlessly at the door, but did not rush into the hall again.
Soon, the prince's mother and the king's wife also heard the news, and rushed to the door of the dormitory with several princes and princesses, all of whom were like the prince, and felt extremely unacceptable to the king's unreasonable decision: "The king wants to eat!? Oh my God, those heretics must have blinded your father, and as the heir to the king, you must prevent this catastrophe from happening! β
The prince hugged his head with his hands in pain: "But mother, you know that once my father has made a decision, no one can change his will. β
"Then we can't watch your father murdered to death!"
While the king's family was arguing about how to advise the king, the chamberlain had already led the cook over. Then everyone rushed up and surrounded the two men, and asked them if they were complicit in the murder of the king sent by the quacks.
The door to the dormitory was opened, and the king's roar came from within: "Let me the damned cook, or I'll send you all to the incisor one by one!" β
Then the captain of the guard also came out, and with two guards, he bowed respectfully to everyone, and then drew his sword and said, "Sorry everyone, I need to obey the king's orders. β
No one dared to stand in front of these three swords anymore, for all had seen the strictness with which the king's guards carried out their orders. As long as the swords of these soldiers are unsheathed, no matter what the circumstances, one of them will fall in front of or behind the sword. On the battlefield, as soon as the king's guards drew their swords, all the hesitant soldiers would fight to the deathβfor they knew that there was only one way to retreat.
When the cook went in, she soon came out again, and as the king had commanded, she told everyone in a loud voice the king's recipe: "The king wants to eat freshly slaughtered suckling pig, fresh olives, a swan soup, and egg custard." β
The princesses screamed as if they had heard the bad news that the king had been killed, instead of a recipe.
