Chapter 125: 095: Treat others with their methods, reciprocate in kind_4

By now, Dr. Janell’s perception of Viola Thompson had completely changed to one of respect towards a predecessor.
To him, Viola Thompson was indeed a predecessor.
Age wasn’t the issue.
With skill, everything else is insignificant.
Viola Thompson said: “It’s a very rare type of parasitic infection.”
“Parasites?” Dr. Janell was surprised, “But I’ve given him a full-body CT scan and couldn’t find any parasites.”
Knight Tuchman’s symptoms did indeed resemble a parasitic infection.
However, Dr. Janell did three CT scans, all of which found no hints of parasites.
Viola Thompson continued, “The worm is the same color as the blood, hiding under the liver. It’s indeed hard to spot.”
Having said that, Viola Thompson turned to Alabama Tuchman and Cheryl
Forrest, “Do you often feed the child raw pork?”
“Yeah,” Alabama Tuchman nodded, “Actually, my wife objected, saying it’s not sanitary. But in my cultural background, not only children eat raw pork, but they also drink raw pigs blood. And our baby loves it, I thought it was no problem… ”
“That explains it. Raw pork and raw pig’s blood contain a large number of parasites, and people with low immunity can easily contract it.”
Hearing this, Cheryl Forrest started pointing fingers at Alabama Tuchman,
“It’s all your fault! If you had listened to me, none of this would’ve happened!”
She told them over and over again, raw meat shouldn’t be given to children, but no one in the family listened to her.
Instead, they thought she was making a fuss.
What’s wrong with the child eating some raw pork?
Mrs. Tuchman glared at Viola Thompson, “Miss Thompson, you must be mistaken! My grandson’s illness possibly has nothing to do with eating raw pork! We’ve been eating for generations, and none of the kids got sick from it! You’re just making things up because you can’t figure out the cause of the illness!”
She too, was raised on raw pork.
She never even had a headache when she was little.
If the risks were as severe as Viola Thompson stated, wouldn’t she have died a long time ago?
Viola Thompson continued, “Old lady, the climate of every region is different, for which bodily indicators also differ. You and Mr. Tuchman grew up in Ciduk City, where it’s damp and cold, with temperatures in winter dropping to
minus thirty degrees. So, eating raw pork doesn’t only not pose a problem, but it’s also beneficial for health. But here in River City, we have all four seasons with the coldest winter temperature rarely dropping below zero. If the body doesn’t lack a certain trace element, then there’s no need to eat raw pork. If you insist on eating, it can have the opposite effect.”
Like the natives of Maxican who love to eat chili.
Hearing this, Dr. Janell nods, “Miss Thompson is correct. This indeed is the reason. Poultry and meat contain a lot of parasites that are harmful to humans, these should always be cooked thoroughly before consumption.”
Mrs. Tuchman knew the doctors were all smooth talkers, and she didn’t stand a chance against them, so she didn’t say anything further.
But she was very displeased in her mind.
These doctors really meddle unnecessarily.
Cheryl Forrest had always been against feeding the child these, and now she had the chance, she’d never let them get another taste of it!
Cheryl Forrest promptly nodded, “Alright, we will never feed our child with it again. ”
Alabama Tuchman then asked, “Miss Thompson, are you sure it was caused by eating raw meat?”
Upon hearing this, Alabama Tuchman felt extremely guilty.
He’d hurt his precious son with his own hands, someone whom he wished he could have kept protected in his mouth at all times
Viola Thompson continued, “The child can be transferred to the general ward tonight and start eating normally. However, he needs to avoid onion, ginger, garlic, and spicy food. The day after tomorrow, start fasting, and the surgery will proceed at four in the afternoon.”
Cheryl Forrest quickly pulled out a small notebook, “Miss Thompson, can you repeat that for me? I’ll write it down.”
Given that this concerned her only beloved son, Cheryl Forrest had to be meticulous and couldn’t afford any mistakes.
Viola Thompson repeated it once more.
Cheryl Forrest wrote down all the important points and asked, “Miss Thompson, if he’s fasting for too long, wouldn’t our baby be unwell from hunger?”
“It’s okay,” Viola Thompson said.
“He can’t eat at all?” Cheryl Forrest asked again.
Viola Thompson nodded slightly, “He can’t eat anything. If he eats before the surgery, the anaesthesiologist will face the risk of food reflux into the oesophagus during the anesthesia process. In severe cases, it could be
Hearing this, Cheryl Forrest instantly took it seriously and jotted it down in her notebook.
Viola Thompson reiterated, “Madam Tuchman, you mustn’t feed the child before the surgery.”
“Don’t worry Miss Thompson, I’ve written it all down in the notebook..”
