Chapter 145 Treating Headaches
"As you know, my old friend is here today for the purpose of my visit. I've already told you before, so you just need to do your best and don't need to worry about anything else."
He's already been to several major hospitals, but the treatments haven't helped much. Now I can only trouble you to go and take a look."
Hearing what Grandpa Ge said, it was clear that although he asked her to treat Grandpa Fang, he did not want to add unnecessary burdens to her.
Although Grandpa Fang wouldn't blame Feng Qingqing if the treatment wasn't ideal, it was better to explain some things in advance.
Feng Qingqing nodded, indicating that she understood.
Then she looked at Grandpa Fang, who had been sitting still the whole time.
At this moment, Old Master Fang's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his face was faintly pale.
Although he initially gives off a serious impression, the way he looks at Feng Qingqing now reveals a hearty laugh:
"Don't feel pressured, young doctor. This is an old ailment of mine. I've seen many doctors, but nothing has worked. Today, I'm just here to relax with Lao Ge. Don't worry about anything else."
Feng Qingqing smiled slightly, said nothing more, and stepped forward.
First, we asked Mr. Fang about his discomfort. From his description, we learned that what had been bothering him for a long time and was becoming increasingly unbearable was his migraine.
It is understood that this migraine was caused by a mission he was on when he was young, which required him to lie face down for a long time. It happened to be raining heavily at the time, and after being soaked in the rain all day, his migraine started to flare up from time to time.
Especially in recent years, compared to when I was younger, my resistance may have decreased, resulting in more frequent and longer attacks.
This caused Old Master Fang a great deal of suffering. If it weren't for his strong will, most people wouldn't have been able to endure it.
Then Feng Qingqing asked Old Master Fang to extend his hand to feel his pulse and ponder. After gazing intently for a long time, he put his hand down, thinking to himself: Old Master Fang's illness is indeed troublesome.
The disease affects the head, which is arguably the most complex part of the body, so it's understandable that the condition hasn't shown significant progress to this day.
After a long pause, Feng Qingqing finally spoke slowly:
"Sir, your migraines started in your adolescence and worsened in your middle age. That rainstorm when you were young was merely a trigger..."
She frowned, and after a long pause, continued:
"Your condition seems to be worsening lately. If it's not treated soon, it could very well lead to extremely serious brain diseases such as cerebral infarction, and then..."
She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone present understood what she meant.
Upon hearing her say this, Fang Guangjin's expression changed drastically. He first looked at his old man, and seeing that the old man did not seem surprised, he became even more flustered.
Although he knew his father often suffered from severe headaches, he hadn't realized they were this serious, even potentially leading to a stroke. What could he do? Thinking this, he quickly called out to his father:
"dad..."
Old Master Fang rolled his eyes at his unreliable son before speaking in a rather irritable tone:
"What are you yelling for? The person is still here!"
After scolding his son, he finally looked at Feng Qingqing with a gentle expression:
"You young doctor, you're quite old, but your medical skills are indeed as Old Ge said, quite good."
Then, with a sigh, he continued:
"It's true what you said, it's gotten worse lately, and this old man is almost at his breaking point."
It's a bit sad to talk about this. If you can live, who would want to die?
But sometimes fate is beyond our control. That's why I came without hesitation after hearing what my old friend said. Even if I can't be cured, it's not bad to take it as a final farewell.
Fang Guangjin couldn't hold back any longer and quickly pressed Feng Qingqing for answers:
"Dr. Feng, I wonder if the old man's illness has improved?"
As someone who has accompanied his father to hospitals of all sizes, he knows some of the symptoms and treatments for migraines. Migraines are generally incurable, only relieved, hence his question.
Hearing his question, Feng Qingqing wasn't surprised, but her migraine... she pondered for a while before frowning and speaking:
"As you all know, migraines are extremely difficult to treat. Currently, they can only be relieved, not cured. The old man's condition is already very serious, and it will not be easy to relieve it, but I am willing to give it a try."
Upon hearing her say this, Fang Guangjin immediately showed his gratitude.
Grandpa Fang laughed heartily:
"Don't listen to this kid, young lady. I won't make things difficult for you. If I can cure you, I will; if I can't, I won't force you."
Upon hearing what Grandpa Fang said, Feng Qingqing shook her head slightly, smiled, and said nothing more.
She wouldn't act unless she was absolutely certain, even if they forced her to, but if it was worth a try, she was willing to give it a shot for these veterans who had contributed to the country.
At this moment, Feng Qingqing looked at the first-aid kit she carried with her and sighed slightly.
The thought that the doctor she was about to treat with acupuncture didn't even have the necessary tools was somewhat disheartening.
She turned her head slightly to look at Sister-in-law Ge beside her, and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Sister-in-law Ge, could you please take some of your sewing needles out?"
Although Sister-in-law Ge was a little confused, she quickly went inside to get it.
Feng Qingqing then turned to look at the Fang family father and son:
"Today, I'll give the old man a few acupuncture treatments so he can feel comfortable for a few days."
Feng Qingqing knew that although the old man looked perfectly fine sitting there, no different from anyone else, he was constantly suffering from headaches, though they were usually not severe and he could control them.
The feeling of being unable to control the disease only occurs during severe episodes, but at this stage, the duration of severe episodes for the old man should be getting shorter and shorter.
Apart from Sister-in-law Ge, everyone else present was also puzzled by Feng Qingqing's question, but those with rich experience quickly understood.
At the same time, I sighed inwardly: She knows acupuncture at such a young age, but she doesn't even have any silver needles.
Ignoring everyone's confusion, Feng Qingqing turned to Old Master Fang and spoke hesitantly:
"Sir, my acupuncture skills are quite good. Would you be willing to give it a try?"
Feng Qingqing had thought the old man might consider it for a moment, but to her surprise, he didn't hesitate for even half a second and immediately replied:
"Of course, then I'll have to trouble you, young doctor."
Since they agreed, after Sister-in-law Ge took out the sewing needles, Feng Qingqing picked out a few, disinfected them briefly, then had Grandpa Fang lie down on Grandpa Ge's bed, and asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Grandpa Fang's son, Fang Guangjin, in the room.
At this moment, Fang Guangjin's opinion of the girl changed greatly. However, when he thought about how the girl had taken Sister-in-law Ge's sewing needle and poked his father's head, although the old man agreed, he was still worried. He clenched his hands tightly, looked tense, and stared at Feng Qingqing without blinking.
