Zhou Can then specifically taught the patient's mother some directions for persuasion.
It's not difficult to provide a private space for the patient that does not cause anxiety. Just pull the curtain over the bed, and cover the entire bed inside.
Following Zhou Can's guidance, the child's mother went in to try and reason with the child, to enlighten him.
If that doesn't work, then they could only take the child to receive specialized psychological counseling.
In less than half an hour, cries could be heard from inside.
The child's father was already anxiously waiting outside, and now hearing his own son crying inside, he immediately wanted to rush in to see what was going on.
He was stopped by Zhou Can.
"It's actually good for the child to be able to cry. It's worrying if he keeps all the stress buried deep inside, silently enduring everything. Also, when you see the child later, make sure to actively show him that you don't need him to get into any good high school, to stop putting pressure on him. Give him as much care as possible."
For a seventeen-year-old child, crying is the first sign of the psychological defenses being torn apart, the complete release of emotions and pressure.
This crying also means that the child's emotional knots are starting to unravel.
Zhou Can is very busy and can't stay here all the time.
After a few words of caution, he went to attend to his own work.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, he was in his office writing medical records and researching.
That child's father came looking for him.
As soon as he entered, he attempted to kneel on the ground.
Zhou Can hurriedly got up to support him, and other doctors were also looking at all this in astonishment.
"Dr. Zhou, thank you... My child ate more than half a bowl of rice and quite a bit of vegetables at noon, and for the first time in over two years, he called me out loud. Also, after he finished eating, he didn't have diarrhea anymore, it's truly unbelievable. You saved my son, which is like saving our whole family, if my son had died, my family would have been destroyed."
The man's voice choked up several times.
For the vast majority of families, children are their hope, their lifeline.
"Ha ha, that's great! Seeing a patient improve and recover is the most gratifying thing for us doctors. Your child's body is very weak due to long-term malnutrition, you cannot expect him to be fattened up after just one or two meals, it needs to be gradual and slow. Definitely do not immediately feed him rich nourishment with fancy meat and fish, it must be done step by step."
"In addition to the gradual nutritional supplementation, you also need to help him gradually increase his exercise. When he is able to stand up, take him to walk more and breathe more of the fresh air outdoors. When Director Jia comes later, I'll ask for you to see if there's a need to prescribe medicine."
Zhou Can was truly happy to hear this good news.
He had finally succeeded in treating another patient with a difficult and complex illness.
[Pathology Diagnosis Experience Points +1.]
[Congratulations on successfully diagnosing a highly complex case, awarded Pathology Diagnosis Experience Points +100. Awarded Emergency Intelligence Experience Points +100.]
Zhou Can received two big rewards at the same time.
[Congratulations on your Emergency Intelligence medical skill reaching the Intermediate level, current experience value 1/10000, the ability to double your wisdom during patient resuscitation, stay highly calm in mind, and improve diagnostic thought by 100%.]
This special medical skill has successfully advanced to the Intermediate level.
Zhou Can felt very joyful.
The use of a special medical skill differs from common medical skills; it's more like the fine rain moistening things silently.
It silently and quietly enhances Zhou Can's diagnostic ability, helping him to maintain a cool head. It allows him to see through the clouds, not to be confused by some of the manifestations of diseases.
A 100% increase in diagnostic thought is essentially double.
According to his understanding, it should mean that when diagnosing critical patients, the diagnostic ability is doubled.
Whether it is actually the case, Zhou Can would need to try it out on a patient next time to know.
