"It's your sister Rongyu who has sprained her leg and has trouble walking. I've been coming to her house these two days to help her."
It's just my aunt's sprained leg. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Sun said next: "Rongyu went to see Ruomei to introduce an orthopedic doctor after her leg sprained."
This is the case for ordinary people in small places. Those who don’t understand medicine ask relatives who are studying medicine to recommend doctors for treatment, otherwise they don’t know which doctor is good. Because medical institutions in small places are not like big cities, and most of the doctors are not very good, and ordinary people know it well.
"Ruomei didn't comfort her when she answered the phone. She was wronged and cried and called me to tell me that her ankle was too swollen at that time and she was afraid of big problems." Grandpa Sun sighed.
It’s understandable that my little daughter is anxious because she can’t find a doctor. The poorer the people, the less they can afford serious illness. Once they get sick or injured, they will be very scared.
"What's wrong with Rongyu?" Sun Rongfang asked, also anxious for her sister.
"Then I remembered that you said that there are many orthopedic patients in the district hospital, so the doctor must be very skilled. I took her to the district hospital to take a X-ray, and the doctor said it was not a fracture. After massage and applying medicine, she was much better. But she was sulking about this.
, saying that if Yingying were different, she would not ignore her as a little aunt. I told her not to go to Ruomei easily again." What Grandpa Sun said was to remind his eldest daughter that the old man could detect something unusual about Zhou Ruomei.
Sun Rongfang remembered that she had a big fight with Zhou Ruomei over Xiao Shugang and her daughter, and the two of them have not spoken to each other to this day.
In her opinion, how could her cousin do such a good job as a doctor? She couldn't control what other doctors did, but Zhou Ruomei was her cousin, and she didn't want her cousin to be a doctor so wicked that she, her cousin, would be disgraced.
"Where's Yingying?" Grandpa Sun asked.
Xie Wanying reached out and took her mother's phone to talk to her grandfather.
"Yingying, take care of your body. Studying is important, but your body is your greatest asset."
"Yes, grandpa."
"Don't worry about your aunt's leg, she's much better."
Her aunt trusted her, so Xie Wanying decided to speak out: "Grandpa, take my aunt to the hospital for an MRI. Some hidden injuries cannot be shown on X-rays. My aunt's ankle joint is too swollen and it is impossible to completely
It's okay. My aunt is getting older. If this injury is not treated thoroughly, the sequelae will become more obvious as she gets older. She will often feel pain and it will be difficult to walk."
"But the doctor said she was fine after taking a picture of her bones." Grandpa Sun asked whether his granddaughter had made the situation too serious.
"How many pictures did she take?"
"One piece." Grandpa Sun said.
It's true. Small hospitals in small places know that people don't have money and doctors don't dare to do major examinations. They take a picture to see whether a few big bones are broken. In fact, when an ankle sprains, not only the bones but also the ligaments need to be paid attention to.
.In addition to taking pictures of the bones, the correct X-ray film must be taken to check whether there is any damage to the ligaments. Generally, doctors will not prescribe this film. The reason is that if the patient really wants to take a closer examination, the safest way is to do an MRI.
Find out all the damage that cannot be recovered.
How terrible is ligament injury? Many people have long-term pain after a fracture, and patting the bones cannot reveal anything wrong. In fact, the ligament was not paid attention to in the early stage, and the damage was not detected, and no fixation or repair work was done, resulting in poor later healing and affecting the stability of the ankle joint.
