Chapter 205
The old man turned to look at Zhang Dong and nodded:
"Yes, I came to see Dr. Lin for a follow-up consultation! I had pain in my waist and legs, and Dr. Lin said I had osteoporosis and prescribed medicine for me to take for a month before coming back for a follow-up consultation."
"That's it!" Zhang Dong smiled.
"Old man, come in with me!"
With that said, he took out his key and opened the clinic door.
Seeing Zhang Dongneng open the clinic door, the old man looked at him in surprise.
"Are you Dr. Lin's assistant? I remember that the nurse on Dr. Lin's side is another woman!"
"Haha! Old man, you are wrong! Dr. Lin is now going to the provincial capital for further study, and I will take her place in the clinic for a while. So I am here to help you treat your osteoporosis!" Zhang Dong said with a smile.
The old man suddenly realized: "So that's it! What's your last name, this doctor?"
Zhang Dongzheng wanted to say not to call himself a doctor, but he was actually not a doctor.
But then I thought again, if he really said that, the old man might not take him seriously, and might even turn around and leave.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dong smiled and introduced himself: "Old man, my surname is Zhang!"
"Oh, Doctor Zhang. Then my illness depends entirely on you!
The medicine Dr. Lin prescribed to me was very effective. After taking it, my waist and legs no longer hurt so much!
It used to hurt every day, but now it hurts every two or three days." The old man said with a smile.
Zhang Dong nodded and asked the patient to sit at the consultation table.
After the two parties took their seats, Zhang Dong looked serious and asked about the old man.
"Old man, what medicine did Dr. Lin prescribe for you before?"
Hearing this, the old man quickly took out a few bottles from his pocket.
Zhang Dong took it over and looked at it. He found a bottle of calcium carbonate capsules, a bottle of calcitriol soft capsules, and a bottle of vitamin d3.
These medicines are indeed well prescribed, and they are all targeted at osteoporosis.
Moreover, Lin Xueyan also carefully prepared vitamin d3, which is an auxiliary medicine that helps the body absorb calcium.
If you lack vitamin d3, you will not be able to absorb it no matter how much calcium you take.
Zhang Dong raised his eyes and looked at the old man.
This old man's body and bones are not bad, but he seems a little lacking in energy and his face is a little pale, much paler than the elderly of the same age.
"Old man, can you let me feel your pulse?" Zhang Dong asked with a smile.
The old man stretched out his left hand very cooperatively, and after Zhang Dong felt his pulse, he understood the root cause.
It turns out that although this old man supplemented with exogenous vitamin D3, he had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
Therefore, it is still impossible to guarantee the synthesis of vitamin d3.
This also results in the poor effectiveness of these drugs.
If he basks in the sun frequently, the old man may take medication for a month and the pain may extend to once a week.
"Old man, let me ask, do you usually not like to bask in the sun?" Zhang Dong asked.
Hearing this, the old man chuckled and said: "It's not that I don't like it! It's just that my son runs a small workshop, and I have to help in the workshop every day. It's dark there, and I'm busy from morning to night, so I don't have time to come out and bask in the sun.
.”
Zhang Dong suddenly understood.
No wonder the old man's condition is still so serious.
If young people don’t bask in the sun, their health will be affected, let alone an old man of his age!
If the elderly do not bask in the sun regularly, their life expectancy will be shortened by at least seven to eight years!
This is not something I say casually. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and health care, the sun is the best source of replenishing yang energy.
Young people have strong firepower and may not need to bask in the sun.
But the elderly and frail people must always bask in the sun, otherwise they will suffer from all kinds of diseases if their yang energy is insufficient!
"Old man, listen to me. If you want to help your son's workshop for a few more years, and you don't want to be bedridden and have to be taken care of in the future, you must come out to bask in the sun for an hour every day!" Zhang Dong said solemnly.
road.
"Dr. Zhang, what do you mean?" The old man sounded a little panicked.
Obviously, he also heard the seriousness in Zhang Dong's words.
Zhang Dong had a warm smile on his face and said with relief: "Don't worry, uncle, my meaning is very simple.
If you bask in the sun for one hour every day, you can live ten or eight years longer, and then you can help your son for a few more years. And your osteoporosis will be cured faster!"
Hearing this, the old man looked at Zhang Dong intently for several seconds, and finally smiled bitterly.
"Thank you Dr. Zhang. I also feel that if you don't bask in the sun for a long time, your body and bones will really deteriorate a lot. But I never thought before that if you don't bask in the sun, your life will be shortened by several years!"
Zhang Dong shrugged: "Follow the doctor's advice, I will get you a set of these medicines later. In addition, I will get you some tortoise shells. You go back and mix them with the powdered egg shells, add some sugar and mix well.
Eat a little at a time, once in the morning and once in the evening!”
"With turtle shells and more exposure to the sun, I can guarantee that your pain attacks will become once a week in three days! Slowly, the attacks will gradually extend, until in the end you will no longer have pain in your waist and legs!
"
Hearing this, the old man nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang, thank you, Doctor Zhang! If you hadn't reminded me, I might not have known how much pain I would have suffered in the future!"
The old man knows his son and daughter-in-law very well.
Now he is strong and strong and can still help in the workshop, so his son and daughter-in-law treat him quite well.
But if he becomes ill in bed, his son and daughter-in-law will definitely not be able to count on him.
If Zhang Dong hadn't reminded him, if he was really sick and couldn't get out of bed in the future, his life in his later years would definitely be very miserable.
Zhang Dong is well aware of the old man's concerns.
But society is like this now, and he can't change it for the time being.
After getting the medicine for the old man, Zhang Dong specially gave him a 10% discount.
It’s not easy for an old man. If you spend too much money on medicine, your daughter-in-law will definitely complain about it when you go back.
In fact, many times, it is not the old man's son who is unfilial, but the daughter-in-law who forces the son to be unfilial.
There are more men than women these days, and it is so difficult to find a wife that many men have developed tracheitis.
After seeing the old man off, Zhang Dong made himself a cup of tea, and then called his sister Zhang Zhaodi to tell her that the clinic had opened and that he needed to see a doctor.
Zhang Dong had mentioned this matter to Zhang Zhaodi a few days ago.
Although Zhang Zhaodi didn't know the relationship between Zhang Dong and Lin Xueyan, she still thought it was a good thing.
Zhang Dong's medical skills are superb and he will have no problem being in charge of the clinic.
What's more, there is only one clinic in Xishan Village. If it closes, it will be inconvenient for people in Xishan Village to see a doctor in the future.
The news of the clinic's reopening spread quickly, and even Zhang Linna came to visit.
After entering the door, when she saw Zhang Dong, who was wearing a white coat that didn't fit him, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, her beautiful eyes full of smiles.
"Brother Dongzi, Sister Xueyan's clothes really don't fit you when you wear them! How can a doctor's white coat be used as a tights?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dong shook his head helplessly: "There is no way! I also forgot to buy a white coat in advance. After Sister Xueyan learned about the reopening of the clinic, she sent me a message, asking me to wear a white coat, and said that
He is a serious doctor."
