Chapter 364 - 188: A False Alarm, Toyed with by a Germ (Part 2)
Since the cause of the illness has been diagnosed, the treatment will be easier.
Neither colitis nor ulcerative colitis is difficult to treat.
At least with his current level of expertise in prescriptions, he should be able to cure the disease with the right medication.
"Boss, have you found out what my illness is?"
She got up, put her pants back on, arranged her clothes, and then asked somewhat anxiously.
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. It might be colon inflammation, prolonged for a bit, which is why the symptoms are severe. There might be an ulcer in the colon currently. I’ll prescribe some medication for you, cooperate with the treatment, control your diet, and pay attention to resting, and you should recover quickly."
Li Jingsheng comforted her.
"Really! Thank heavens, thank heavens!"
Upon hearing it was just colitis and ulcers, an extremely joyous smile blossomed on her malnourished face.
The worries between her brows vanished completely in an instant.
She had probably been rather tormented these days.
Being a medical student herself, she had some understanding. Naturally, she worried it was something serious, particularly cancer.
Now, learning it’s merely colitis feels like a new lease on life to her.
"I shouldn’t be wrong! Of course, if you suspect my diagnosis is inaccurate, you can go to a larger hospital for further checks to confirm."
Li Jingsheng said to her with a smile.
"No, no, that’s not what I meant. I read reports about Sunshine Clinic in the newspapers and news, and learned Siying was working here, so I thought of leveraging this acquaintance to have you take a look. I don’t have any doubts about your medical expertise."
She promptly waved her hand, explaining to Li Jingsheng.
"Haha, I can tell you trust me, that’s why you came to see me not just once but twice."
Li Jingsheng nods with a smile.
From her expressions, she seemed to be an inexperienced young girl.
High education sometimes doesn’t translate into extensive social experience. Many highly educated youths, in reality, lack much worldly experience, pure as a blank piece of paper.
"I’ll prescribe the medication for you now. During this period, you must cooperate with dietary treatments. Avoid milk or dairy products completely. Opt for foods that are easy to digest, low in fiber, and highly nutritious. After taking the medication I provide, observe the effects. If the effects are poor or you experience severe diarrhea, you might need fasting to assist treatment."
Ulcerative colitis can’t exactly be considered a minor disease.
It’s rather common in clinics.
Her abdominal pain and diarrhea were quite severe, and atropine was actually a good choice for medication.
Unfortunately, it’s no longer allowed to be sold in outpatient clinics.
Probenecid, compound papaverine hydrochloride, and loperamide can all serve as alternatives. However, these medications can’t be used in large amounts, nor for long-term use.
Li Jingsheng prescribed the cheapest option for short-term, small-dose usage.
The aforementioned drugs come with a side effect; they easily cause toxic megacolon.
If his efficacy and pharmacodynamics hadn’t reached the Minor Achievement level, he wouldn’t dare prescribe these medications to her.
Next, he prescribed aminosalicylic acid medications along with two other drugs in combination.
It’s not about the amount of medication, but precision that ensures effectiveness.
"If these medications don’t work well or the rectum and sigmoid colon continue to be severely painful, then I’ll prescribe a suppository. An enema is not recommended as the first choice."
Li Jingsheng took into account the limited conditions of the clinic, along with the tight staffing.
As she’s an unmarried young woman, she might find it hard to accept enema treatments.
Eventually, she paid thirty-seven yuan for some medications and left.
Upon leaving, it was apparent she was feeling very pleased.
The treatment cost was surprisingly affordable and since the cause of her condition was discovered, she was naturally very happy.
Li Jingsheng barely profited from her treatment.
Encountering such patients, he is willing to offer treatment even at a loss.
Ulcerative colitis must be treated promptly.
No ulcer should be neglected.
Repeated ulcers in the digestive tract greatly increase the risk of cancer, as confirmed by WHO.
He checked the attribute panel, and the results were very encouraging.
Doctor level experience +10, Gastroenterology diagnosis proficiency +10, General surgery diagnosis proficiency +1, Drug efficacy and pharmacodynamics proficiency +1, Life value +101.
In the beginning, he would be delighted to earn 10 life points from a good review.
Earning over 100 at once makes him even more ecstatic.
Now, he’s accustomed to it.
Occasionally earning 100 life points may make him pleased but not as surprised as before.
"Boss, my classmate Momo sent a message, do you know what she said?"
Han Siying came over.
"What else? To thank you!"
Li Jingsheng replied with a smile.
"Well...she said, Siying, your boss is a good person!"
Han Siying solemnly relayed her classmate’s text message.
Li Jingsheng grinned after hearing it.
Whether he’s a good person is up for debate, but at least his intentions aren’t malicious.
Hope that girl named Momo recovers soon.
The afternoon remained busy, with patients constantly coming for consultations. Most are residents or tenants from nearby.
With Sunshine Clinic being featured on TV news, Li Jingsheng’s reputation is gradually growing.
Plus, now having the credentials of a formal doctor at the Second Hospital further enhances his authority. Patients have significantly increased trust in him.
The influx of patients to Sunshine Clinic is significant, whereas Quick Recovery Clinic’s Boss Zhao is probably feeling frustrated.
The number of patients in this area is limited, with only a fraction willing to visit clinics for treatments.
