Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After careful consideration, Dr. Ma said, "You must take the medicine, but the most important thing is to control your diet and move your legs."

Jia Zhang rolled her triangular eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"For your own health, eat less sugar and greasy food, especially braised pork."

"Also, change your lifestyle habits. Remember to exercise more half an hour after a meal and walk five kilometers slowly every day. Keep doing it until your condition improves."

After hearing what Dr. Ma said, Jia Zhang's anger rose. She couldn't help but wonder if this doctor had a grudge against her. She wanted to live a good life in the past but couldn't, but now her life was better. The first thing the doctor said were the things she liked to eat. She also had the good habit of lying in bed after meals. She had developed this habit since she married Old Jia, and it has been a habit for decades.

The doctor actually wanted her to walk every day, even though she wouldn't even help a fallen broom. It would be fine if she just walked, but she had to walk five kilometers every day? This was completely contrary to Jia Zhang's lifestyle.

Jia Zhang suppressed her anger and continued to ask, "Doctor, what should I do if I'm hungry?"

“Eat less even if you are hungry. Learn to eat less and more often.”

"I understand now. You are just a quack doctor. You speak in a confusing way and say things that people can't understand. What do you mean by eat less and eat more?"

"Uh... just eat less at one meal and eat more often."

"That's what I do. I eat more when I'm hungry. Everyone knows that."

Now Jia Zhang is extremely dissatisfied with this doctor.

"Also, take medicine on time and maintain good sleeping habits."

"Sleeping? That's my favorite thing. Every day I eat and sleep, then sleep and eat."

The young nurse's face turned red from holding it in, and she could only cover her mouth and endure it.

Doctor Ma's face darkened, thinking to himself, "Eat and sleep, eat and sleep, isn't this just a pig? If Jia Zhang didn't have diabetes, I wonder how fat she would be?"

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. It's not good for your health, especially your current health."

"Doctor, you are so bold as to lie. I have lived like this for most of my life, how come it is not good anymore?"

"It's because of your bad living habits that you got diabetes."

"This... Doctor, you didn't lie to me?"

"What are you talking about? As a doctor, my duty is to cure diseases and save lives. How could I possibly lie to you? Besides, what good would it do me to lie to you?"

Dr. Ma became anxious and said, “You can doubt my character, but you can’t doubt my professional ethics.”

"Humph, you can sell medicine by lying to me."

Jia Zhang curled her lips and looked at Doctor Ma with dissatisfaction in her triangular eyes.

"you you you"

Doctor Ma's hands were shaking with anger.

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. Doctor Ma is an expert in our endocrinology department. You can rest assured. Besides, today is just a coincidence. You may not be able to see Doctor Ma at other times."

The word "expert" was still a positive word in the 1960s. If someone was said to be an expert in a certain field, that person would be highly respected by people. After listening to the young nurse, Jia Zhang reluctantly agreed with Doctor Ma and didn't say anything else.

After Doctor Ma prescribed the medicine, the young nurse took Jia Zhang to pay the money and get the medicine. Everything went smoothly during the process and Jia Zhang did not cause any more trouble.

After returning home, she took the medicine as usual, but she had long forgotten what Dr. Ma said.

It can also be said that she doesn't care about the so-called "rich man's disease" at all. She still eats and drinks as before, and still has sugar water every day.

Two months passed like this, and she had taken almost all the medicine, but Jia Zhang became thinner and thinner.

The appetite is getting stronger, the thirst problem is getting more serious, and the urination frequency is becoming more frequent. For Jia Zhang, this is an old symptom.

I have been taking the medicine for two months, and new symptoms have started to appear: occasional numbness in my hands and feet, accompanied by dizziness and headaches. I also have problems with my eyes, and my vision is becoming increasingly blurry.

Jia Zhang was angry. It was obvious that she had been deceived.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Zhang claimed to be an expert and kept saying that he was a people's doctor and that his duty was to save lives and heal the wounded. He spoke so well, but in the end, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still deceived.

And that young nurse, she is so young and has not learnt her lessons well. She never tells the truth. When I see her next time, I will scratch her face.

Can this be tolerated?

You definitely can't stand it?

Not to mention the delay in her illness, Jia Zhang had made a lot of things in the past two months, and Qin Huairu was almost unable to hold on. She changed from white flour steamed buns at the beginning to two-grain flour buns, and later to steamed corn bread.

"Mom, you can't go on like this. Look at how thin you are now."

Qin Huairu was also anxious. What disease did Jia Zhang have? Her appetite was unusually good, but she could not gain weight by eating a lot. Others had three meals a day, but Jia Zhang was hungry all day long. If this continued, who could afford it?

Li Huaide has been dissatisfied recently. Every time after Qin Huairu finished the job with her mouth (she can only use her mouth when she is pregnant), she asked for more and more, which caused Li Huaide's dissatisfaction.

The money he spent in the past two months was enough for Li Huaide to support two more children.

"Huai Ru, it seems that I was deceived by that doctor. No, I'm going to find him. This time, not only must he treat me for free, but he must also compensate me for my losses. Huai Ru, how much compensation do you think I should get?"

"Mom, didn't you say that Doctor Ma is an expert in the hospital? He must be rich, so just ask for one thousand."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jia Zhang went to the Red Star Hospital angrily and found Dr. Ma again.

Looking at the man in front of him who was as thin as a Shiba Inu, Doctor Ma rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This shouldn't be the case. The medicine he prescribed included not only Western medicine but also Chinese medicine.

Western medicine is designed to quickly lower blood sugar levels and return blood sugar indicators to normal; Chinese medicine is a tonic, and treatment focuses on invigorating qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

If I had taken my medicine on time and followed my doctor's orders, I wouldn't be in this situation.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

Doctor Ma also didn't expect that Jia Zhang would scratch him without saying anything, cursing as she scratched him: "Quack, liar, I let you deceive me, today I am ridding the people of harm, I will scratch you to death."

It didn't matter, Dr. Ma had a few more scratches on his face.

"Xiao Zhao, don't just stand there, go and notify the security department."

The young nurse finally came to her senses and ran outside.

Doctor Ma kept turning around in circles in the medical room to avoid Jia Zhang's attacks. Fortunately, Jia Zhang was running low on energy and started to pant after turning around twice.

The commotion was quite loud and the security department, the hospital director, and the heads of various departments were all alarmed.

When the people from the hospital security department arrived, Jia Zhang didn't dare to move. She sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and called for Old Jia and Little Jia.

The director was so angry that his face turned blue. This shrew was spreading feudal superstition in the hospital.

Finally, a security guard couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Jia Zhang in the face, and Jia Zhang finally behaved herself.

She started crying to the dean. If she didn't know the truth, she would have thought that Dr. Ma had raped her.

Jia Zhang spoke intermittently, and the young nurse supplemented her speech, which made the cause of the incident clear.

According to Jia Zhang, Dr. Ma has seriously neglected his duties and is taking human life lightly.

They immediately summoned all the Chinese and Western medicine experts in the hospital to re-diagnose Jia Zhang, and also checked the prescription written by Dr. Ma.

After discussion, it was found that Dr. Ma did not make any mistakes.

The mistake was that Jia Zhang did not follow the doctor's advice and continued to eat and drink a lot, which made her condition worse.

After hearing the results of the investigation, Jia Zhang was immediately displeased. She thought that the people in the hospital were a den of snakes and rats, bullying her as a patient, so she started cursing.

The doctors present cursed their ancestors to the core.

The dean couldn't bear it anymore and called the police immediately.

After the police arrived, they questioned her again and finally decided to detain Jia Zhang for three days as a punishment.

This is also the result of the hospital giving up further investigation in view of Jia Zhang's condition.

Although she was detained for three days, Jia Zhang was sent home the next day.

There was no other way. Jia Zhang was hungry, thirsty, and needed to go to the toilet all the time. She went through this more than ten times a night, which exhausted the guards. Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore and released her early.
