Endocrine diseases in the human body are mainly divided into three major categories.
Thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands.
No matter which endocrine gland has issues, the body will exhibit severe symptoms.
Li Jingsheng advised them, but if the family didn’t listen, there was nothing he could do.
He continued to treat other patients without mentioning it further.
About an hour later, the mother who brought her child returned.
This time, her eyes were red, with visible traces of tears she hadn’t fully wiped away.
Upon entering, she headed straight for Li Jingsheng.
"Hey, hey, miss, are you looking for our doctor for something?"
Li Li sensed something was wrong, worried that the family might bring weapons to attack the doctor.
She was doing well in the massage therapy clinic, all thanks to Li Jingsheng’s support, so she wouldn’t allow anyone to harm Li Jingsheng.
Otherwise, it would be like ruining her livelihood.
After all, Li Jingsheng only worked three days a week, while she worked five days a week.
The other two days she took turns working as a nurse in other areas of the department.
She could feel that the doctors in the department were now noticeably more polite to her.
When chatting privately, other nurses often envied her.
Even some acquaintances and friends who wanted to see Li Jingsheng but hadn’t secured an appointment would find her and ask her to help.
As long as Li Jingsheng wasn’t particularly busy, she would ask him to add an appointment, which he usually agreed to.
Just this one thing made her feel that being this clinic’s nurse was a wonderful job.
No matter the gender, everyone likes having a bit of power.
The humility of those who asked for favors, along with some benefits they offered, made her truly feel an unprecedented sense of status.
Therefore, anyone wanting to harm Li Jingsheng would first have to get through her.
Otherwise, if Li Jingsheng ended up in the hospital like Dr. Xu, her good days would be over.
"Dr. Li, after listening to your advice, I secretly took my son to the pediatrics department for a check-up. The results are out, and my son’s insulin secretion is indeed problematic. The pediatrician also said that my son now drinks several cups of water or milk at a time and eats more than an adult, which are all signs of diabetes. Fortunately, it was detected early, and with hospitalization and treatment, it should still be curable.
I just completed the hospitalization procedures for my son and came over specifically to thank you.
If it weren’t for you, my son would be suffering from diabetes at such a young age, and I can’t imagine what his life would be like in the future.
The doctor said his obesity has also affected his reproductive development.
The child’s grandmother doesn’t know the situation yet; otherwise, she would certainly blame herself. In hindsight, I should never have listened to the old generation’s child-rearing experiences; I was the one who harmed my son!"
As she spoke, tears once again streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.
The elderly always like to use their past experiences to raise grandchildren and always think their ways are correct.
If you dare to question them, they would immediately respond with,
"I raised you this way when you were little!"
What can the son or daughter say to that?
When it comes to daughters-in-law, those with a bit of emotional intelligence generally won’t directly question their mother-in-law or father-in-law’s methods. Otherwise, it would likely trigger a family war.
One of the most common things Li Jingsheng had seen was the elderly chewing food to feed the children.
This is not just disgusting; it also significantly increases the risk of transmitting bacteria to the child.
Some bacteria may not be problematic in the elderly, but children’s immune systems are weaker, and just a bite could cause illness.
Also, the human mouth is not clean and harbors numerous bacteria.
Because the oral environment is moist, food residue stuck between the teeth is challenging to completely clean out.
The older one gets, the larger the gaps between the teeth become.
This is a natural degradation process.
Imagine the elderly’s mouths, filled with rotting food mixed with saliva and fed to children — how terrifying is that?
Additionally, elders particularly like to kiss the baby’s chubby little cheeks, and even their mouths.
This is equally frightening.
Especially for infants still in swaddling clothes, who just arrived in this unfamiliar world and are struggling to adapt to the environment.
A kiss could sometimes be a deadly kiss.
Similar tragedies and medical cases have occurred multiple times.
After hearing the child’s mother’s account, Li Jingsheng felt quite relieved. Being able to detect the illness early is a good thing.
That little boy was indeed fortunate within misfortune.
Under normal circumstances, being too thin or too fat isn’t a good thing for children.
Some children might not be fat but rather robustly built.
For example, helping with physical tasks at home every day or engaging in sports training can build a strong body. There’s no problem with that.
If they are clearly overweight, whether it’s a boy or girl, they need to control their weight.
Some even require hospital treatment and intervention.
