Chapter 778: Home-based Clinical Visits
After passing through the courtyard, they entered the living room.
There was actually nothing in the entire room. Jiang Tingxu and the other two were speechless.
At this moment, the middle-aged man pushed open the left door and entered.
“Dad, a free clinic doctor is here.”
“Ahem, ahem ahem ahem ahem.”
A series of violent coughs sounded in the room.
Lao Bao and Lao Liu rushed in. One was responsible for supporting the old man while the other patted the old man’s back and gave him a rough check-up.
When the old man finally recovered, Jiang Tingxu approached him with a stethoscope.
“Sir, don’t be nervous. Relax. Let me listen to your heart and lungs.”
This old man was the first patient on the list of home-based clinical visits. He had been paralyzed in bed for more than ten years.
Even though they were wearing masks, the room reeked.
However, since they were professional doctors, these things were the most basic things that they had to overcome.
Lao Bao and Lao Liu supported the old man on both sides. The old man’s son also helped to untie the old man’s clothes.
“Doctors, you guys may proceed.”
“Thank you.”
During the listening period, everyone was quiet and didn’t make a sound. However, Jiang Tingxu’s expression became more and more serious.
She listened for about two minutes before stopping.
“Does he usually cough a lot?” He asked.
The old man’s son nodded.
“Yes, especially at night, when the coughing is even worse. He has been taking medicine for the past two years, but they don’t work.”
“What kind of medicine?”
“I can’t remember the names. Wait, I’ll show you the medicine box.”
“Okay.”
Although the old man’s son was limping, his walking speed was quite fast. He went to the room next door and came back with a small cardboard box.
“Doctor, the medicines that my father takes are all here.”
Lao Liu reached out to take it, and Jiang Tingxu began to check them one by one.
“Feining granules, Ambroxol oral liquid, ten gentian flowers, aminophylline, suodylline, Guilong kechuanning, cetirizine, and amoxicillin?”
At the end, Jiang Tingxu, Lao Bao, and Lao Liu looked at each other.
Lao Liu called over the old man’s son.
“Sir, ahem, although these medicines are used to treat coughs, their effects are different.
For example, feining granules, Ambroxol oral liquid, and ten gentian flowers are used to dispel phlegm.
As for aminophylline, suchuanling, Guilong kechuanning, these are used to relieve asthma and cough.
There was also cetirizine and amoxicillin. The former was used to fight allergies, while the latter was used to fight bacteria.
“Anti-bacterial drugs can’t be taken casually.”
Obviously, the old man’s son didn’t understand these things at all.
“Huh? These are all the drugs that have been prescribed by the clinic. Every time my father coughs, the doctor will prescribe these drugs. Because he goes to the clinic often, the doctor will prescribe a few different kinds of drugs.
“Doctor, are these medicines not working?”
Lao Liu sighed.
“Sir, it’s not that they aren’t working. It’s that they aren’t right at all!
“Has your father gone to the hospital for a specific check-up?”
The old man’s son shook his head.
“He hasn’t been there. Ever since my father became paralyzed, he hasn’t even gone out of the front door of the house. At most, he would bask in the sun in the courtyard.”
Huh?
Lao Liu frowned.
“Sir, are you the only ones at home with the old man? Where are the others?”
When he said this, the old man’s son’s expression became a lot more desolate.
“My mom died less than a year after my dad became paralyzed. Three years ago, I had an accident at the construction site. My wife also left, and I have a daughter who was taken away by my wife. We haven’t contacted each other in all these years, and I don’t know where they are now!”
