“Can we buy something from the supermarket first?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
He drove to a supermarket nearby .
“Since you know medicine, what do you think your uncle’s wife should eat now?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“She’s still in the hospital now, and she just had an operation . She should eat food that’s easy to digest, like pureed food . Then she can start to eat a bit of meat . I don’t think you need to buy any health supplements for her now, just go and visit her,” said Wang Yao .
“How about gelatin?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
She pointed at a well-packed gelatin .
“She can’t eat it now, she has to wait until she’s out of the hospital and resting at home,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, I’ll leave it for now,” said Zhang Xiuying .
Wang Yao’s uncle looked worried when Wang Yao and Zhang Xiuying arrived at the hospital .
“What’s going on?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“We took the baby to have a hearing test . She didn’t pass,” said Wang Yao’s uncle .
“Didn’t pass?” Zhang Xiuying frowned .
Wang Yao came to see the baby lying in the bassinet . The baby looked much cuter now . She was in deep sleep . A newborn baby normally spent most of her time sleeping .
Human beings would sleep less and less as they got older .
Wang Yao had a close look at the baby .
Actually, babies were different from adults in many aspects, because some of their organs and body functions hadn’t fully developed . It took time for those organs and body functions to develop . At this stage, Wang Yao wasn’t sure if the baby would be normal and healthy in the future .
“She should be fine,” said Wang Yao softly . He gently covered the baby with blanket .
“Sorry, what did you say?” asked Wang Yao’s uncle .
“I said she should be fine . Aren’t the doctors going to review her hearing in a month? Let’s see how she is then,” said Wang Yao .
“You’re right, there is nothing else we can do,” said his uncle .
“Yao, can you take a look at your uncle’s wife?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
He took a good look at his uncle’s wife .
“She’s recovering well . The only thing is that she still has blood in her uterus,” said Wang Yao .
“Is there a lot?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“The nurses have pressed my belly several times,” said Zhang Xiuying’s sister-in-law .
“You have to speak to the doctor about it . The lingered blood will affect the contraction and recovery of uterus . It could become blood clots if it isn’t cleared,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Zhang Xiuying’s sister-in-law .
As a member of the younger generation of the family, Wang Yao didn’t stay long in his uncle’s wife’s room . He had to go to a different building in the hospital to visit Li Maoshuang’s uncle .
“Hey, is that young man your nephew?” asked the patient in the same room with Zhang Xiuying’s sister-in-law . She overheard Wang Yao’s conversation with Zhang Xiuying and her sister-in-law .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao’s uncle .
“He knows medicine?” asked the patient .
“Yes, he’s a doctor,” said Wang Yao’s uncle .
“Does he work in this hospital?” asked the patient .
“No, he has his own clinic,” said Wang Yao’s uncle .
“Oh, I see . My baby also didn’t pass her first hearing test . Can he take a look?” asked the patient .
“I can ask for you,” said Wang Yao’s uncle .
“Great, thank you,” said the patient .
Wang Yao soon arrived at Li Maoshuang’s uncle’s room after he had entered the building .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” greeted Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin as soon as he saw Wang Yao .
“Hello, how is your dad?” asked Wang Yao .
“He’s been doing well the last few days,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
Hmmm?
Wang Yao suddenly noticed that one more patient had been admitted to the hospital . There were three beds in the room, but only one bed was occupied . Now two beds were occupied . Wang Yao had a glance at the new patient, who was in his 70’s . The patient was very skinny . His face was sallow . His eyes were darkened . He looked at the ceiling like a zombie . His children sat in the chairs next to the bed . They all looked sad .
They took a glance at Wang Yao as Wang Yao walked into the room, then continued to look at the patient lying on the bed .
“Please take a seat,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
All of the family members stood up when Wang Yao came into the room .
“I’m fine . Let me take a look at your dad,” said Wang Yao softly .
He had a good look at Li Maoshuang’s uncle . The old man’s condition was stable and improving .
The decoction he brewed for the old man and the formula he gave to Li Maoshuang worked better than he had expected . His decoction effectively stopped the expansion of tumors and killed part of cancer cells . The alternative version of Regather Soup also consolidated the old man’s corporeity . It fixed the fragile and damaged body tissues, which helped to maintain body function .
“Good,” said Wang Yao . “Continue to take the decoctions . ”
“Okay,” said Li Maoshuang’s cousins .
Wang Yao gave them more of the decoctions he had brewed .
“Thank you . ” Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin took over the decoction with both hands . After he had witnessed the amazing effect of the decoction, he knew how precious it was .
The room was not big and was very quiet . Therefore, the conversation between Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin and Wang Yao was overheard by the family members of the new patient .
“Is he a doctor? What decoction?” murmured one of the family members .
They looked at the young man who seemed to come to review the patient staying in the same room .
Is he one of the doctors here? How come we’ve never seen him? wondered the family members of the new patient .
“I think that’s all for today,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao transferred some Qi into Li Maoshuang’s uncle’s body before he left, and hoped it would make the old man feel better .
“Okay, thank you,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
Li Maoshuang’s cousins walked Wang Yao to the door .
“Wait a second, Dr . Wang . ” Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin stopped Wang Yao .
“Yes?” asked Wang Yao .
“Are you available at lunch time?” asked Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
“No need to invite me for lunch . ” Wang Yao immediately knew what Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin tried to say .
“Just a simple lunch . We just want to thank you,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
“You really don’t need to . Maoshuang is my friend,” said Wang Yao .
“We really want to…” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
Om! Wang Yao’s phone vibrated . It vibrated several times while Wang Yao was in the room . He set his phone on silent before entering the room .
“Sorry, I have to answer this call,” said Wang Yao .
“Hello? Uncle…What? No, I’m still here in the hospital . I came to see my friend’s uncle…Okay…I’ll come now,” said Wang Yao . “Sorry, I have to go now . ”
“Okay, and lunch…” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
Wang Yao shook his hand with a smile .
He went back to the Maternity Ward after leaving the Oncology Ward .
“What’s going on?” asked Wang Yao as soon as he saw his uncle .
“Well, the baby of the woman staying next door also failed the hearing test in the morning . She heard what you said to me . Can you take a look at her baby?” said Wang Yao’s uncle .
“Where is the baby now?” asked Wang Yao .
“Next door,” said his uncle .
“I can take a look, but they might not take my words seriously,” said Wang Yao ask he walked into the room next door .
“Dr . Wang!?” As soon as Wang Yao entered the room, a middle-aged woman greeted him warmly .
“Yes, you are?” asked Wang Yao .
Looking at this woman who gave Wang Yao a warm welcome, Wang Yao couldn’t recall if he had met her before .
“I’ve seen you before, in Renhe Clinic,” said the woman .
“Oh, hello . ” Wang Yao did work in Pan Mei’s clinic for a while, and he had good reputation there .
“Are you better?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes . I was fine 20 days after I had taken the herbs you prescribed . I no longer have headache . I was going to say thank you to you, but never bumped into you again in the clinic,” said the middle-aged woman . “Are you here to visit a patient?”
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“Dr . Wang, thank you for coming here . Can you take a look at my baby?” asked a man in his 30’s .
His child didn’t pass the hearing test in the morning . Everyone in the family was worried .
“I can take a look at your baby, but I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to see anything abnormal,” said Wang Yao .
The baby was only born less than one week ago . Some of his organs hadn’t fully developed .
He had a good look at the baby lying in the bassinet .
“Well, I don’t have a definitive answer at this stage . I think he’s fine, but you have to wait for a month until he is reviewed,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, thank you,” said the father . ,
“Hey, Dr . Wang, are you also a pediatrician?” asked the middle-aged woman .
“No, I just know a tiny bit of pediatrics,” said Wang Yao .
“Can you take a look at my grandson?” asked the middle-aged woman .
“Mom, Xiaobei’s hearing hasn’t been tested yet,” said the middle-aged woman’ daughter lying on the bed .
“Never mind, just take a look,” said the middle-aged woman .
Wang Yao couldn’t turn down the over-friendly middle-aged woman, so he had a look at her grandson .
“I think he should be fine,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
Honestly, he was not 100 percent sure .
After he had seen the two babies, he went back to his uncle’s wife’s room to say goodbye to her and his uncle . Then he left the hospital, with a plan to return to the hospital in the afternoon . His mother continued to stay in the hospital . His uncle’s wife was going to be discharged from the hospital that afternoon .
“Don’t forget to come back in the afternoon,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“I won’t . Call me if you need me,” said Wang Yao .
“Hey, is that young man a doctor?” The family members in the room next door were all talking about Wang Yao .
