Chapter 561 Doctor's Question
"But Grandpa Dong has recovered so quickly in just a short period of time, and all key indicators are almost perfect. I really can't figure out the reason. It's really hard to explain medically."
Her eyes were full of inquiry, as if she wanted to find the answer from the faces of Secretary Dong and Grandma Dong. It was also as if she was trapped in her own maze of medical knowledge, eager to find the key to solve the mystery.
After hearing what Dr. Liu said, Grandma Dong was stunned at first, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then her lips moved slightly, and she was about to say something.
Grandpa Dong, who had been listening quietly beside him, seemed to have expected this. He suddenly turned his eyes and spoke first with a gentle smile on his face. He said:
"Doctor Liu, this may really have a lot to do with my mood. During this period, my two precious grandsons came to see me specially. They stayed by my side, kept me happy, and told me about the latest news outside."
"I was so happy. I looked forward to spending more time with them every day. When I was in a good mood, my illness seemed to be alleviated a lot."
As Grandpa Dong spoke, his eyes revealed deep love and relief, as if he was recalling a warm scene, and his entire body was immersed in the joy brought by family happiness.
Grandma Dong nodded slightly and agreed:
"Yes, the old man is right. Ever since these two young men came, his whole spirit and energy have changed. He is happy every day."
After listening to their explanation, Dr. Liu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully:
"Mood does play a role in recovery that cannot be underestimated, but in cases like Grandpa Dong's, it is rare for mood to play such a big role."
"But no matter what, this is a good thing. I will continue to pay close attention to Grandpa Dong's physical condition to see if there is anything else that needs attention."
After saying that, she looked at Grandpa Dong unconsciously again, her eyes still full of doubts, but with more emotion for the miracle of life.
In the ward, the light was softly shining in every corner. Doctor Liu stood there quietly, his brows still slightly furrowed, his eyes full of traces of thought.
She had carefully completed various examinations for Secretary Dong, from routine physical sign measurements to deep detection with the help of professional instruments, and had not missed any link, but she could not find the reason why Secretary Dong's body recovered so quickly.
This was a rare situation in her many years of medical experience. For a moment, she felt a little frustrated, but more curious about this strange phenomenon.
After a moment of silence, Doctor Liu raised his head and looked at Secretary Dong and Grandma Dong. He forced a smile on his face and said, following what Grandpa Dong had just said about his mood:
"Yes, you are right, Grandpa Dong. The impact of mood on this disease cannot be underestimated."
"From a medical perspective, when people are in a good mood, various functions in the body will be positively stimulated, hormone secretion will tend to be balanced, and the vitality of the immune system will be enhanced, which has the potential to help recovery from illness."
"No matter what the reason is for Grandpa Dong's current good recovery, as long as Grandpa Dong is healthy, that is the result we all hope for the most."
At this point, Dr. Liu's expression suddenly became serious. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes revealing concern and warning:
"However, Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong, this disease has a biggest nemesis, which is recurrence. Once it recurs, the severity of the disease will be far beyond imagination and will be much more difficult to deal with than this time."
"So in the following days, daily care and maintenance are crucial. Even some seemingly insignificant details may become key factors affecting the condition."
As she spoke, she took out a small notebook from the pocket of her white coat and quickly wrote something down, muttering to herself:
"For example, you must eat a light diet and try to avoid foods high in oil, fat, and salt, such as pickled vegetables and fried foods. You should eat less of these."
"You also need to have a regular work and rest schedule, go to bed early and get up early, and get enough sleep. Staying up late is a big taboo. Also, you must not relax your emotional control and not be too sad or happy."
"You must always stay calm. I will write all of this down in detail in your medical records. When you are discharged from the hospital, you must read it carefully and strictly follow the instructions."
Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong nodded repeatedly, and Grandma Dong interrupted from time to time: "Doctor Liu, don't worry, we will definitely remember it."
Doctor Liu closed his notebook, put his pen back in his pocket, and looked around the ward again to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Then he said:
"If there's nothing else, I'll go get busy. There are a lot of patients in the hospital right now, and there are a lot of things I need to deal with. If Grandpa Dong feels uncomfortable or has any questions later, just call me anytime."
After saying that, she neatly packed up the medicine box beside her, carefully wrapped up the stethoscope and put it in, and then sorted the used cotton swabs, syringes and other medical waste into special bags.
After everything was packed up, she nodded to Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong again, and left the ward with steady steps.
As the door closed gently, the ward fell into a brief silence. Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong looked at each other, their eyes showing both the importance they attached to Dr. Liu's advice and a little worry about the future.
As Dr. Liu's steady and slightly hurried footsteps gradually dissipated at the end of the corridor, the air in the ward seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's attention was drawn away from the discussion of the patient's condition.
Grandma Dong stood beside the bed, staring at the tightly closed ward door until the thin ray of light coming through the crack in the door completely disappeared. Only then did she suddenly come to her senses and turn anxiously to Secretary Dong.
At this moment, Grandma Dong's face was full of confusion and unwillingness, and the slightly wrinkled wrinkles on her forehead seemed to tell of her inner struggle.
She leaned forward, clasped her hands unconsciously in front of her, raised her voice a little, and asked anxiously:
"Old man, why can't I understand this? Doctor Liu was here just now, concentrating on studying how your body recovered so quickly. Why didn't we just tell her that you took the medicine that Jianguo brought?"
"Look, Dr. Liu is a professional. If he knew this key information, he would definitely be able to follow this clue and arrange your subsequent treatment plan properly. Wouldn't we feel more at ease? Why are we hiding it?"
