Chapter 183 A Different World (Acridine for a Monthly Pass~)
The full name of "diabetes" is "diabetes mellitus", which is composed of the Greek word "diabetes" and the Latin word "mellitus". The first application of this term in the non-magical world can be traced back to 250 BC.
However, because diabetes is a chronic disease, and the leading cause of death usually comes from complications, it was not until the early 20th century that people gradually began to face the dangers of diabetes, and a variety of diabetes treatment methods emerged - but most of them
Basically of no use.
What really made a big improvement in the treatment of diabetes was that in 1982, shortly after Elena's body was born, biosynthetic human insulin that could be mass-produced appeared.
However, it is obvious that this kind of medicine and medical theory from the non-magical world has not been introduced to the magical world on a large scale simultaneously.
If Elena remembers correctly, even twenty years after medical knowledge became popularized, the prevalence of diabetes once reached one-tenth, and as the age level increases, the number of people over 65 years old increases.
The prevalence rate is increasing gradually.
If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising that Gellert Grindelwald is already one hundred and eight years old and lacks daily medical care and basic medical knowledge. He suffers from diabetes.
"Okay, I don't know what you are talking about, but it sounds interesting." Grindelwald pressed his belly and recited the curse silently, while looking at the anxious white-haired dumpling in front of him with interest, his mouth curved.
Turned.
"Interesting?! This is acute diabetic ketoacidosis! Do you understand the importance of the situation? If you are not careful, you may die!" Elena, who finally spent a long time explaining in words, waved her hand.
He said angrily and loudly.
Diabetic ketoacidosis, referred to as DKA, is an acute complication of diabetes and one of the most fatal complications of diabetes.
Because there is not enough insulin in the body of diabetic patients to use glucose, once blood sugar rises significantly, uric acid excretion will increase. At this time, the body begins to use adipose tissue to generate energy, and the ketone bodies produced by fat decomposition cannot be used well.
If used, it will accumulate in the blood and cause ketoacidosis.
Since she didn't know that Grindelwald had diabetes before, Elena's three meals a day were mainly proportioned according to her own body intake needs, that is, they are rich in high sugar, high calcium and high calorie development food.
Children's meals.
There is no doubt that Elena, the little butterfly, once again blew up a new hurricane - according to the plot of the original work, Grindelwald should have lived peacefully until the end of the seventh part, until he was asked about the whereabouts of the Elder Wand.
Voldemort was killed with the Avada Kedavra Curse. If such a serious illness had occurred before, the old man imprisoned alone in the castle would have died long ago.
"To be precise, if I were a Muggle, I might die. But now, I just have a slight stomachache."
Grindelwald shook his finger and corrected calmly.
"Did you listen to me carefully?"
After hearing the old wizard's words, Elena, who had been explaining for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She is still talking about Muggles and stomachaches! Does this old guy have Alzheimer's? How come he doesn't even know the most basic new knowledge points?
I can't control it anymore.
etc!
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through Elena's mind. She glanced at Grindelwald, who didn't seem too nervous, and asked softly, "You mean, there is actually a magic spell that can cure [stomach ache], right?"
Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable experiences for all human beings.
As a metabolic disease prevalent in the world with such a wide coverage, there is no reason for people living in the magical world to be immune. Magic is just a supernatural ability, not a spiritual energy that cuts off hair and cleanses marrow - at least from the current point of view, even if it is
Wizards also get colds, coughs, and diarrhea due to irregular diet.
The "technology tree" of civilization gradually developed based on various magic spells obviously cannot be thought of in the same way as the technology tree in the non-magical world. Whether it is common sense or the way to solve problems, as a semi-closed-loop world with a long history
, wizards must have a unique system for understanding the world - a magical perspective.
Just like unlocking spells, most of the magic spells are actually black box magic with first effect and later cause. There is no need to study the principles hidden under the flow of magic tracks. Instead, what needs to be considered is the display form of the output results (magic effects).
And the input factors that may be involved (magic, gestures, pronunciation...).
The magic spell of the black box principle can exert its greatest effect in daily life, and it must first be in the medical field that is full of difficult mysteries and is closely related to everyone.
You must know that the body is an indispensable link for most human beings to perceive the world. As the first need to sustain an individual, how to heal oneself and extend life is definitely countless times more important than destruction and convenience of life. In theory, even if you don’t know the accuracy
The pathology, whether it is appendicitis or gastroenteritis, may all be solved using the same magic spell.
In a sense, this "unreasonable" medical system in the magical world has completely embarked on a completely different path from the non-magical world. The presented phenomenon is used as the standard for summary treatment, and the treatment results are used as the criterion.
Classification of branches of enchantment.
Although in the long run, it is difficult to say which one is better, but judging from the current results, the average life span of the population in the magical world is obviously much higher than that in the non-magical world - in various unreasonable magical worlds
Under the protection of medicine and magic spells, most people can be saved by force unless they die instantly.
"Of course, little one, magic is much more mysterious than you think. As far as I know, there are at least three or four simple spells that can solve this little problem in an instant."
Grindelwald grinned. I have to say that it was rare to see Elena, who had always been strong and willful, showing such an anxious and cute look. As a memory of the last day before separation, it really couldn't be better.
"Um...wait, so..."
Elena glanced unkindly at the first-generation Dark Lord who asked questions from time to time and seemed to be listening attentively. She glanced at the old man's hand that was still covering his lower abdomen and emitted a soft white light. She took a deep breath and said, "From the beginning
From the beginning, you were deliberately watching my jokes, even pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy?"
"That's not entirely true. On the one hand, I'm really curious about how non-magical people view this matter."
Grindelwald shook his head, followed Elena's gaze, lowered his head and glanced at the healing magic that was still going on, and continued, "On the other hand, although I know that there are three or four magic spells that can solve my current problem.
, but they all require the use of a wand to cast spells. But fortunately, now we just need to wait for Albus to arrive."
Although Elena was holding a wand in her hand at this time, Grindelwald had no intention of borrowing it - Grindelwald knew very well that the two of them could maintain this harmonious relationship at present.
Breaking this tacit understanding with a minor illness seemed to him a little too unworthy.
"What if Dumbledore never comes?" Elena frowned.
She didn't know why, but she had been feeling a little uneasy since she saw the confusing text message from Dumbledore in the morning.
"Then, when I can no longer maintain the Ur runes, perhaps, as you said, I may fall into a coma and die - if the Muggle knowledge you learned from who knows where is correct."
Grindelwald smiled slightly, his eyes and tone were particularly calm, as if he was discussing with Elena what to eat for lunch today casually.
"Actually, I can..."
Hearing Grindelwald's words, Elena tightened the wand in her hand, pursed her lips, swallowed back the words, lowered her eyes and looked to the side, and followed the old wizard's words and asked, "So, what else can you do?
How long will it last?”
"At least I can hold on until evening."
Noticing the girl's little movements, Grindelwald smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, starting from the summer of Godric's Hollow in 1899, Albus and I have known each other for ninety-two years.
Yes, although we had differences and collisions during this process, he is definitely not a person who breaks his word."
"Since I wrote in the note that I will come later today, I will definitely not break my promise."
As soon as he finished speaking, a weak magic wave came from the letter spread out on the side of the table.
The two stopped talking and subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.
I saw the ink on the letter paper slowly twisting, and the word [today (today)] slowly lengthened, gradually changing to look like [tomorrow (tomorrow)].
"..."⊙?⊙!
"..."(ー`′ー)
