"Rather than relying solely on medications, it is advisable to leverage the baby’s immune system and the antibodies present in breast milk to combat the common cold. If the baby can get through it, their immune system will become stronger than before. After undergoing such strengthening several times, by the time the baby is weaned at the age of one, they will be well-adapted to the complex environment of this world."
"Your husband is an adult, but the rule that the immune system gets stronger with each trial remains unchanged."
Zhou Can told the family.
Not all families may accept or understand these theories.
But as a doctor, it is a kind and meaningful act to disseminate some basic medical knowledge to the family members.
The health consciousness among the common people of China is strengthening, and this is the result of joint efforts by doctors.
Bit by bit knowledge today, a little more tomorrow, gradually, the common people are acquiring more medical knowledge. They then knowledge with their family and friends.
In this way, public health awareness is enhanced.
In the past, not many common people would exercise regularly, but look at today, there’s almost a nationwide fitness trend.
The number of participants and those who persist in exercising are increasing.
Currently, the misuse of antibiotics has also been somewhat controlled.
People with some medical knowledge no longer rush to small clinics for IV drips and infusions when they fall sick, as they have understood the adverse effects of antibiotic misuse.
These are all positive signs.
Zhou Can checked on patient in bed 73, then turned his gaze to the family.
"I recommend that you also undergo a Salmonella infection screening. It won’t cost much and the process isn’t very painful. Otherwise, in case there is an issue, it could lead to significant losses."
"It’s nothing! I’m still fine! Besides, even if my husband was infected with Salmonella, you just gave him fluids, right? There was no need for medication. I’m healthy, if I do get infected, I can fight it off too."
The family member was reluctant to spend the money.
She politely refused Zhou Can’s suggestion.
Zhou Can did not insist further.
Pushing further might make the family think he was after the commission for the tests.
In reality, he was just an intern, with no commission. He only received a basic monthly salary.
He even suspected that the hospital’s three-year intern program was just to save on staffing costs.
Zhou Can returned to his office; Director Shang did not come personally. Instead, he had the nurse call him and asked him to rush to the Digestive Internal Medicine’s special expert consultation room 1 if he wasn’t busy.
Director Shang’s clinic room in Digestive Internal Medicine being the special expert consultation room 1 shows that he is one of the most skilled and high-ranking attending physicians in Digestive Internal Medicine.
Zhou Can notified the doctor in charge of the ward and hurried to the outpatient clinic.
The doctor in charge of the ward is nominally a chief-level physician, but it’s more common for resident doctors to actually perform this role.
The head resident is a highly adaptable person. Upon hearing that Director Shang called Zhou Can to assist in the clinic, apart from feeling envious, he looked at Zhou Can with increased respect.
He wholeheartedly agreed and told Zhou Can to go learn without worries.
This intangible status made Zhou Can feel quite pleased.
During his entire year as an intern, he was bossed around and reprimanded by the head resident as if he were a servant.
Now, the head resident, at that level, was very polite to him.
