Chapter 779: Chapter 362: The Cause of Hypertension Found, Foolish Mommy in Tears_3

Some kids are diagnosed with osteoporosis, thinking that taking a lot of calcium supplements will cure it and even make their children grow taller. These parents don’t realize that just taking calcium isn’t particularly effective.

They should also undergo other supportive treatments under a doctor’s guidance.

For example, exercising, getting sun exposure, eating foods rich in protein and trace elements, and so on.

"What is this English-labeled medicine for? Is it to boost the child’s blood?"

Li Jingsheng took out a box of medicine.

It wasn’t a product without quality assurance; it had a manufacturer.

The packaging was in English, but it was actually produced domestically. It might be for export, or some pharmaceutical companies play to the notion that foreign products are better by putting on foreign packaging.

They then proudly claim it’s medicine for export.

This raises the credibility and grade of the medicine.

"Yes, this was specifically recommended online by a parenting expert for me to buy for my child. Because when my son was two years old during a checkup, the doctor said he had a bit of anemia and suggested we could appropriately get some blood-boosting medicine for him. At the time, I was worried the hospital’s medicine wasn’t good enough, so I consulted online experts and bought this imported medicine."

She seemed to realize that it was indeed this medicine that caused her child to develop high blood pressure.

So she looked a bit anxious.

"Do you know what the main ingredient of this medicine is?"

She shook her head.

"Ordinary blood-boosting medicine, you just take it orally. Does this medicine require intravenous injection for your child?"

Li Jingsheng asked her again.

"Yes! I always pay to have a clinic nurse help give my son this injection."

"Its main ingredient is recombinant human erythropoietin, colloquially known as Epo. You actually believed the nonsense of a parenting expert and used it for your child. What a mistake!"

Li Jingsheng got so angry he couldn’t help but scold her.

At this moment, the child’s father brought in the attending doctor.

The consent form for the abdominal puncture should have been signed already.

Hearing Li Jingsheng scolding his wife, he quickly walked over to her side.

"The so-called blood-boosting medicine you gave your child is Epo. Do you know what it’s used for? It’s primarily for anemia due to renal insufficiency, including dialysis and non-dialysis patients. Moreover, some surgical patients need it for red blood cell mobilization during the perioperative period. You actually used this medicine on such a young, healthy child; it was very foolish.

Didn’t you ask a doctor before using the medicine?

I ask you, if something happens to the child because of this medicine, who will you turn to?

Now, I can’t be sure that Chen Huan’s high blood pressure is definitely related to this medicine, but I can clearly tell you that a side effect of this medicine is the potential to cause high blood pressure."

He had to speak cautiously, hence his uncertainty.

The high blood pressure in this three-year-old child was likely caused by this medicine.

"I told you not to trust online experts, but you wouldn’t listen. Now there’s a problem with the medicine they recommended, you go find them. Dr. Li would never deceive us, if he says this medicine isn’t for children, then it’s definitely not. Damn it, my son was fine, and that damn expert treated my son like a patient with renal insufficiency. Bastard..."

Li Jingsheng didn’t say anything more; he had said all that needed to be said.

The rest of the issue could only be resolved by the family themselves.

This child truly suffered greatly.

Not only did the parents spend a lot of money needlessly, but they also ended up ruining the child’s health, which is truly tragic.

Everyone pays for their knowledge in life.

It’s just that the price they paid this time was a bit too high.

Fortunately, they ran into Dr. Li Jingsheng, who was willing to involve himself and help them; otherwise, the child would probably be ruined.

Even getting through this ordeal might not be certain.

A perforated acute appendicitis can really be fatal.

By then, the family would probably be left mourning, lamenting how unfortunate they are to suddenly lose their healthy son.

Li Jingsheng shook his head and quickened his pace toward Director Xiao’s office.

He was truly made to cry by this naive mother.

And the child’s father was precisely a man without an opinion.

From some of the father’s behaviors, it seemed his educational level was likely not as high as his wife’s, which is why he obeyed her so much.

This incident was a very good lesson for them.

Not to say that online experts are always unreliable.

Many real doctors use their spare time for public education and even offer online consultations, which is trustworthy.

But in the market, alongside good money, there’s always bad money.

Be careful to keep your eyes open and don’t be fooled by false experts.

He knocked on Director Xiao’s office door, and she was inside.

She was frowning while reviewing the patient’s examination materials.

As a department director, being especially young, her clinical skills are not bad, but she is by no means top-notch. She needs a lot of learning to quickly improve her skills and truly lead the gastroenterology department to become stronger.

"Director Xiao, are you busy!"

"Oh, Dr. Li is here! Please have a seat! Dr. Li solved a difficult problem for our department as soon as you arrived! You are the lucky star of our gastroenterology department, there’s nothing better I can offer you, so please enjoy some tea!"

She got up and personally made a cup of tea for Li Jingsheng.

Her face was full of smiles.

"These are the examination materials of that elderly cadre, the cause of diarrhea is still unknown. Additionally, there’s another patient, please also have a look. Consider it a temporary conscription! I’m going to perform the abdominal puncture on that child. If I haven’t returned by the time it’s done, just hand your diagnosis to the little nurse at the front desk. I was going to have my student accompany you for the diagnosis, but I feared you might argue with Dr. Ou."

Xiao Linlin explained and then walked out directly.

She really didn’t treat Li Jingsheng as an outsider at all.

From her words, it seems she has a young female doctor under her. If she left the female student alone with Li Jingsheng in the office, it might really invite gossip.

"Do I seem like someone who can’t resist temptation?"

Li Jingsheng muttered, beginning to seriously review the patient’s data.
