72, chapter seventy-two
Lu Ze is not a nosy person, but he noticed the stubborn look of the little boy during the consultation in the morning. He also had such a period when he was a child, erecting sharp thorns to everyone around him and never get close to anyone.
At that time, he was still young and did not know how to hide his nature. He did not know that the intuition and indifference in his nature would hurt people, and failed to take good care of his mother's emotions. He also had many conflicts with the Xu family.
The end of his parents' marriage was probably related to the fact that he was not a likable child. When his father was busy, he would stay away from home for a long time, and there was only them, mother and son, at home. But he had a personality that did not like to be close to others, so his mother was naturally sad.
There is no need to mention the past, but we cannot ignore the current situation.
The old lady's voice sounded a little strange, and she obviously felt uncomfortable in her throat.
There are not many symptoms in the early stage of rheumatic heart disease, and even mild inflammation in the early stage of infection, such as tonsillitis and pharyngeal inflammation, which are similar to colds and coughs, and are easily overlooked.
Since rheumatoid heart disease is an autoimmune disease, it is often related to personal constitution, even if the same bacteria are infected, the carrier may not necessarily evolve into wind and heart disease.
Although this child is usually taken care of by a nanny, his food, clothing, housing and transportation look good, and the food he usually comes into contact with should be considered relatively good.
At first, Lu suspected that the stepmother or nanny might be carrying bacteria, but when they looked at their complexion, they didn't look infected. Now, seeing the old lady who held the child and scolded him as soon as she came up, Lu felt that the suspect could be added to her.
Lu Ze walked to the ward and knocked on the door. He walked into the ward with the young stepmother's puzzled gaze and introduced himself to the old lady: "Hello, I am a doctor from the provincial hospital."
Even though Lu Ze omitted the word "internship", the old lady still looked at Lu Ze with suspicion, feeling that the doctor was too young.
The old lady said: "Your dean and our old man are also familiar with each other. Why do you send a young boy to see my grandson? This ward alone costs a lot of money. Is this how the provincial hospital charges money?"
The stepmother had to defend her provincial hospital: "The experts came to the consultation just now, and this young doctor may have something to explain."
The old lady cursed, "No matter what, it's not OK to send a young doctor here." Because her voice was a little high, her voice became even more hoarse, which attracted the attention of other doctors. They stopped and turned to the little boy's ward.
Seeing a group of doctors standing outside who were very experienced, the old lady was a little satisfied and turned to Lu Ze to see what he had to say.
Lu Ze did not care about the old lady's attitude, but was very satisfied with her straightforward personality. It was so good that she showed her disgust and dislike on her face, saving others the effort of guessing. He said calmly: "Have you ever picked up your grandson to live at home in the past six months?"
The old lady was stunned by this question.
She and her old man have three sons and two daughters, and they all have a promising prospect. They all bought a house by themselves. They were used to living in the old man and did not live with any of them. They only lived in the old man. She planted the garden as a vegetable field. The old man loves fishing and went out with a fishing rod every day. His life was very comfortable. Occasionally, she would also ask her children to send their children to live there for a few days to add some anger to the old man.
The old lady said, "Of course there are, they all come back during the New Year. I took Xiao Zhuo back a few times before the New Year." As she said that, she glanced at the little boy's stepmother and cursed, "What? She only cares about her two biological children all day long. I, the old woman, thinks that my grandson loves his grandson and takes them back, can't I take them back?"
Lu Ze shook his head and said, "Of course your love for your grandson is good."
The old lady then shut up.
Lu Ze asked patiently: "Please recall if you and your grandson had a sore throat? You can think about it whether it is caused by a cold or a cough."
The old lady's heart was thrilled and asked Lu Ze with a slutty look on her face: "What do you mean? Is my grandson still infected me? I just went for a physical examination with the old man a few years ago. I was in good health and had no heart problems!"
Lu Ze didn't mind the old lady's attitude and said in a calm tone: "Everyone has a different physical constitution. Some people will get over the cold, and some may lose their lives. We have also asked him about his diet and daily life and wanted to ask about the cause of the disease. This is just a routine question. Don't be too nervous. However, if you hide it from it, it may delay diagnosis and treatment, and it will also affect future prevention."
Once this disease is found, it will be necessary to prevent reinfection for life, because every time this type of streptococci is infected, it will cause the heart valve to be attacked and aggravate the heart damage.
It was related to the grandson. The old lady couldn't be tough and told me that one time the grandfather and grandson got sick together. Their family lived far away from the hospital and didn't want to find any family doctor. Usually, she picked and bought some medicines for preparation. She would pick and take some colds, fevers, headaches and coughs by herself. If she didn't do that, she would always get rid of the disease.
They all felt a sore throat that time. She felt that she might have caught a cold, so she found the medicine to coax her grandson to take it and took it with her.
When the old lady was a rural person when she was a child, she was suffering from minor illnesses and pains. Even if her husband and son became rich, she still lived a frugal life. She was basically self-sufficient in vegetables and fruits. She even brought her own weight when buying meat. She would take one or a half taels to lose. She would work hard to bring back her shop and scold the store for being so bloody.
For their generation, such minor illnesses are usually overwhelmed, and often they don’t even need to take medicine.
Seeing that my grandson was not particularly uncomfortable, and after taking medicine, he had sex everywhere, the old lady felt that it was okay, so she didn't care anymore. She never mentioned it to her son and daughter-in-law. After a few days, she let her daughter-in-law take her grandson home.
The old lady always claimed to love this poor grandson the most, thinking that the grandson, the stepmother, was a poor relative in his mother's family, and was from a small family, and was not worthy of her son. Look, she originally thought she was married to take care of her grandson, but she gave birth to two of them, which looked like a restless person.
When it comes to poor relatives, the old lady has too many. She knows their ideas very well. This woman must only want to have a son and separate the property, and she doesn't want to treat the children left by her cousin well.
With this view, the old lady didn't like this daughter-in-law, and felt that the daughter-in-law was sick because she was not taking good care of him.
Now when Lu Ze asked this, the old lady was really panicked: "It's just a small cold, and she didn't even have a snot. She just got better after taking some medicine. I have lived for so many years and raised five children. I have seen such minor illnesses as colds and coughs. I have always been through this and I have never had any problems!"
Lu Ze said: "Don't be anxious. I see that your voice is not right. I want to know if you have a sore throat now?"
The old lady nodded hesitantly.
Lu Ze's attitude was too peaceful and his eyes were too calm. Even though he was old, the old lady began to trust him involuntarily.
Lu Ze asked the old lady to sit upright and opened her mouth to show him his throat.
Soon, Lu saw obvious symptoms of pharyngeal inflammation at the old lady's throat. After asking, the old lady also had arthritis, which is a problem with the elderly. She is quite special. She will also have a sore throat when she gets sick.
There are many causes of inflammation, including bacteria and viruses, and there are countless pathogens, but the elderly only think that they are all old problems. When the pain is painful, they will think of ways to relieve the pain and will not think about it elsewhere.
Lu Ze had basically made a judgment in his mind and gave a careful suggestion: "How about you go for a checkup to see if your pharyngeal inflammation is a bacterial infection or a viral infection."
If the old lady is really streptococcal infection, the cause of the disease can be determined.
The old lady looked ugly, but she really cared for her grandson. Thinking of Lu Ze's statement that a secondary infection would aggravate her grandson's condition, she decided to have a checkup. Her throat was indeed uncomfortable. Regardless of whether her sore throat had anything to do with her grandson's illness, it would be better if she checked it.
The old lady still couldn't trust Lu Ze completely, so she grabbed the director of the cardiology department and asked for a question before the nanny accompanied her to do the examination. She had already believed Lu Ze's judgment in her heart, but she couldn't bear to apologize to her daughter-in-law, so she could only give her some trust and let her stay and look at her grandson.
The little boy's stepmother thanked Lu Ze: "Thank you, the doctor."
If Lu Ze hadn't come in and asked the old lady to go for a check-up, she wouldn't know how long she would have been scolded.
Although her family was poor, she worked hard to get into college and found a good job. Unexpectedly, her cousin was gone from ill. Her cousin, who was ten years older than her, proposed to marry her.
The family felt that the marriage was very good. After passing this village, there was no such store. She kept trying to seize the opportunity. Although she wanted to be a stepmother, the bride price was the money she would never make in her life. She would have endless blessings in the future. What should I hesitate about? The family ran to the unit to help her resign and asked her to prepare for marriage with peace of mind. She fought and finally got married.
Being a stepmother is really hard.
Her husband is very busy, but he also has the traditional concept of having more children and blessings. After marriage, she didn't think about contraception, and soon she got pregnant. She was inevitably negligent when taking care of her stepchild while pregnant. Her mother-in-law scolded her. Her tone of teaching her stepchild is also regarded as being harsh on her stepchild. Over time, she could only endure giving in and she really had no energy to reverse the character of this stepchild.
She couldn't tell these things to her family who felt she had found a rich son-in-law for her, nor could she tell her friends who were increasingly distant.
Everyone just thinks she has taken a big advantage.
She could only thank Lu Ze for his unintentional kindness.
Lu Ze nodded, wanted to turn around and leave, but stopped again when he met the little boy's dark eyes.
Lu Ze looked up and said to the little boy's stepmother, "Can I talk to him alone?"
The little boy's eyes became a little alert.
The little boy's stepmother was also a little hesitant.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Lu Ze, but that her stepson has had a bad temper since she was a child and she is afraid that the child’s temper will affect her condition.
Heart disease sounds too far from an ordinary person like her. She never thought that this disease would appear next to her.
No matter what causes it, heart disease should be quite taboo to be emotionally excited.
Lu Ze looked at the little boy and walked to the bedside to ask him: "I want to talk to you alone, are you willing?"
The little boy was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Ze to talk to him in this tone. He felt that Lu Ze regarded him as an equal person to talk to, rather than thinking that he was still young and treated him as a child.
The little boy said with a tense face: "Just talk."
The author has something to say:
Xiao Lu: Actually, I am a general practitioner, including psychology.
Patient: So, Dr. Xiao Lu, I have some emotional problems and want to consult...
Xiao Lu:?

Who would have thought that when I lay down in bed at 9 o'clock last night, I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning!
