Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478: Chapter 226: Iron Deficiency Anemia, Dr. Gao’s Confidence (2)

Li Jingsheng was determined to ensure the girl ate normally.

He even brought up some current situations abroad.

"Oh, I see! Uncle, you really know a lot! Then I’ll try to eat more fruits and vegetables in the future! But they taste a lot worse than snacks, kind of hard to eat."

It seemed the girl was beginning to understand a bit.

Li Jingsheng felt quite relieved.

"Snacks contain many additives, chemical agents, and flavorings that are harmful to the human body. They deceive our taste and smell senses, which is why you find them tasty. I believe you’re a smart child. Once you experience the joy of eating more fruits and vegetables and exercising, you’ll come to like them. Snacks aren’t completely forbidden, but they should be eaten in moderation and not as a meal."

During the conversation, Li Jingsheng kept observing the girl’s complexion.

At this moment, he saw a hint of redness and felt a slight sense of relief.

Fortunately, she only looked unnervingly thin, but her condition was better than expected.

Being young is good, with excellent tolerance, self-repair ability, and adaptability in the body.

The older you get, the less you can withstand the strain.

Eating some inflammatory foods or catching a cold can make you sick.

If any elderly lived like this girl, mainly eating snacks and not exercising, doing whatever feels comfortable, they would probably have made the hospital home or moved straight into a cemetery by now.

"Alright, let’s talk about your condition! Typically, you feel palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a lack of energy, right?"

"Yes!"

She nodded.

After the earlier conversation, perhaps sensing Li Jingsheng’s goodwill, she seemed more cooperative.

"When you squat for a while and then stand up, do you feel like stars are swirling around, dizzy, and can’t stand still without support, right?"

"Yes!"

"Your condition, actually, isn’t a major issue, it’s anemia, specifically iron-deficiency anemia. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to take at home. But I must tell you, medication can only help you quickly get rid of these discomforts. To cure it, you need to put in the effort. The method is simple: eat meals regularly every day, eat less junk food, and exercise for at least half an hour a day. It’s best to exercise after getting up in the morning."

After diagnosing the girl, Li Jingsheng had already made a confirmed diagnosis.

Her skin and mucous membranes were pale, nails were flat and lusterless, coupled with her blood pressure measurement results, excessively thin physique, all these symptoms combined indicated typical iron-deficiency anemia.

From start to finish, Li Jingsheng never asked the girl about her menstrual situation.

Because asking such young children can make them feel very embarrassed. The subsequent inquiry would become unsmooth, possibly leading to resistance.

Therefore, doctors shouldn’t be dogmatic.

At least in the clinic, the main purpose is to make money by helping patients recover.
