Chapter 532: Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor
Cai Quanwu saw the Xu family members looking like they had survived a disaster, and muttered to himself, it’s too early for you to be happy.
If Xu Damao's condition cannot be cured, he will be doomed to be extinct, just like Yi Zhonghai.
This kind of thing may not matter in future generations.
But in this era, in the eyes of some people, it is worse than having a terminal illness.
As for adopting children, even biological ones are not necessarily reliable, so how can you count on adopted ones?
The practice of driving adopted children out when their adoptive parents get old has existed since ancient times and is nothing new.
How disheartening it is to raise a child from childhood and give everything to him/her, only to be kicked out.
Yi Zhonghai probably has seen too many cases, so he has been unwilling to adopt a child.
Of course, this is certainly not the case for all.
However, the stakes are too high, and people like Yi Zhonghai are generally unwilling to take a chance.
If you win the bet, that's great, but if you lose the bet, it's even worse than being killed.
"Old Xu, don't be too happy too soon. Didn't you listen to what the doctor said? If you don't get proper treatment, Damao might not have any descendants."
"You don't want to be like Damao and Yi Zhonghai, do you?"
Cai Quanwu mercilessly poured a bucket of cold water on the Xu family.
This bucket of cold water completely woke up the Xu family, and all they could think about was Cai Quanwu’s words: Just like Yi Zhonghai.
Yes.
Although it is not a terminal illness that can take one's life, it is not much better than not being able to have offspring.
When he got a terminal illness, he immediately found a girl from the countryside to marry. There was still hope of having offspring, which the old couple could raise and not be extinct.
This will not only prevent you from having children, but will also result in your being without an offspring.
The Xu family cannot be wiped out in their hands.
"Doctor, can my son's condition be cured?" Thinking that the Xu family would be extinct in his hands, Xu Fugui hurriedly asked the doctor.
After Xu Fugui finished asking, Xu Fugui's wife and Xu Damao both looked at the doctor expectantly.
The doctor looked at the expectant faces in front of him, considered for a moment, and then began to explain:
"This question is rather complicated, and I can't guarantee it for you."
"All I can say is that if you get treatment, you have a chance. If you don't get treatment, the chance is definitely slim."
"The specific situation depends on the treatment effect."
Doctors will never give a positive answer when it comes to curing illnesses and saving lives.
Because there are too many uncertainties.
What if the patient doesn’t cooperate and the treatment is not effective?
When the Xu family heard the doctor say there was a chance of treatment, it seemed like they had grasped a life-saving straw.
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Xu Fugui quickly said:
"Doctor, we will treat him, no matter how much it costs."
"Since you want treatment, go and make an appointment first." When the doctor heard Xu Fugui say he wanted to be treated, he reminded them to make an appointment.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xu Fugui said, turned around and left to register.
"Young man, stretch out your hand, and I'll feel your pulse again."
After Xu Fugui left, the doctor thought about taking Xu Damao's pulse again.
"Okay." Xu Damao responded and extended his hand again.
This time the doctor took my pulse more carefully and took longer than last time.
After taking the pulse, Xu Damao was given more examinations.
For example, he carefully examined Xu Damao's dejected little brother.
Just after the examination, Xu Fugui came in with the registration form.
The doctor took the registration form and immediately started writing on the diagnosis.
After a while, the doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to Xu Fugui:
"I'll pay the money and get the medicine later. When you finish the medicine, come back for a follow-up visit to see how it works."
"Okay, thank you doctor." Xu Fugui took the prescription and thanked him.
"By the way, young man, do you smoke and drink?" The doctor nodded at Xu Fugui, looked at Xu Damao and asked.
Xu Damao didn't know what the doctor meant, so he answered honestly, "I smoke and drink."
"This won't work. Go back and quit smoking and drinking. Otherwise, the treatment effect will definitely not be that good," the doctor suggested.
Xu Damao didn't expect that he would have to quit smoking and drinking, and was a little hesitant.
When Xu Fugui saw Xu Damao like this, he slapped him on the head and scolded him, "Do you still want to be good?"
"Da Mao, your father is right. You can't make mistakes. Treating the disease is a big deal." Xu Fugui's wife also tried to persuade Xu Damao.
"I understand." After being slapped in the face, Xu Damao knew he had to agree, so he agreed obediently.
He didn't want to be beaten. In his parents' minds, compared with Juehou, it was not a big deal as long as he was not beaten to death.
In this situation, if he dares to confront him, there will be only one result: he will be beaten to death.
I was reluctant to fight before because I didn’t know it would lead to extinction of the family.
"Doctor, don't worry, I will supervise my child to quit smoking and drinking when I go back." After slapping Xu Damao, Xu Fugui turned around and smiled and assured the doctor.
After Xu Fugui made his assurance, the doctor nodded and continued:
"After you go back, eat less spicy food, have a regular daily routine, go to bed early and get up early, and don't overwork."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Xu Fugui nodded quickly in agreement.
"Okay then, go get the medicine."
When the doctor saw that Xu Fugui agreed to everything he was told, he asked him to go get the medicine.
Cai Quanwu listened to the doctor's explanation and interrupted:
"Doctor, for this kind of thing, many people would try folk remedies. Is there any problem with that?"
It is said that folk remedies can cure serious diseases, but sometimes these remedies can also harm people.
Cai Quanwuke knew that people nowadays tend to be superstitious about folk remedies, so he asked this question on purpose.
In the TV series, Lou Xiao'e said that Xu Damao's mother asked her to take a secret prescription.
But it was useless. I took it for several years and there was no effect at all.
I guess Yi Zhonghai and his wife also ate a lot.
For this type of infertility, Cai Quanwu still thinks it is better to treat it in a regular hospital.
Hearing this, the doctor looked up at Cai Quanwu and said with a smile, "This comrade knows a lot."
Cai Quanwu looked at the doctor and explained with a smile: "There used to be a manager in our hospital who had been married for many years but had not gotten pregnant. He had tried many folk remedies."
As soon as Xu Fugui and the others heard what Cai Quanwu said, they knew who he was talking about.
They also knew that Yi Zhonghai took a lot of medicine.
The courtyard is so small that almost every household can smell the odor when the medicine is being boiled.
"Oh, does it work?" the doctor asked with interest after hearing Cai Quanwu's explanation.
Cai Quanwu shook his head.
When the doctor saw Cai Quanwu shaking his head, he understood. He turned to look at Xu Fugui's family and said in a serious tone:
"If you are sick, you still have to go to a regular hospital for treatment."
"Don't try folk remedies like that lightly, so as not to aggravate the condition and make treatment more difficult."
"We doctors see this kind of thing a lot in the hospital."
"Many diseases that could have been cured have become incurable because people believed in folk remedies and missed the best time for treatment."
The doctor said this in a serious tone, then smiled and joked: "If folk remedies work, why do we need doctors? Hospitals would have closed down long ago."
After the doctor finished speaking, Xu Fugui's wife's face changed.
If the doctor hadn't said that, she would have really planned to get some folk remedies for Xu Damao.
After all, she has the resources.
When I was serving those concubines in the past, some of them wanted to gain status through their sons, so they often found some folk remedies to eat in private.
However, after hearing what the doctor said, I temporarily gave up the idea.
I'm thinking of waiting to see the effect of the treatment.
If the treatment is not effective, then I won’t be able to take care of so many things.
