Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 171 - 170: Right Now, She’s the Only One Who Can Cure This Illness
This illness can only be treated by her currently.
Due to Granny Qin’s situation before, she has already studied the relevant courses in the space.
So now she doesn’t need to enter the space to study again; she can directly prescribe medication.
Now, binding the system also facilitates real-time monitoring of Aunt Liu’s physical condition.
"Aunt Liu, I’ll prescribe you medication now. Take this medicine home and boil it twice a day. After three days, there will be noticeable effects."
"This medicine can be taken for 7 days. After 7 days, come back, and I’ll prescribe you more. Take it for another 7 days, then it will be fine."
With that, Gu Jia Ning quickly wrote down the prescription and immediately tore it off and gave it to her.
"Aunt Liu, just follow this prescription, go to the window next door to get the medicine."
Aunt Liu took the prescription in a daze, "Take medicine twice? Can it be cured in half a month?"
"Yes."
"Aunt Liu, do you have any other questions?"
"No, none."
Watching Aunt Liu’s departing figure, Gu Jia Ning thought that Aunt Liu probably didn’t know she had tuberculosis.
It’s just as well if she doesn’t know. It’s more important to cure her first.
If I told her...
People of this era believe that tuberculosis can’t be cured, and if Aunt Liu loses hope in treatment, what would happen?
Aunt Liu held the prescription in her hand, pondering over something, and suddenly started coughing again.
Coughing heavily, she had to take out a handkerchief to cover her mouth.
Soon after finishing, she saw there was blood in the phlegm on the handkerchief.
Passers-by who saw this scene quietly commented, "Already coughing up blood, it must be tuberculosis."
After speaking, that person, fearing contagion, hurriedly moved away.
Aunt Liu heard it, but she didn’t pay much attention.
She knew she had tuberculosis.
She found out two years ago.
Initially, she and her son Xiwang thought it was just a common cough, but it never improved and kept getting worse.
At that time, even though she didn’t have much formal education, Aunt Liu suspected something based on life experience.
Sure enough, later, when Xiwang stubbornly took her for a check-up at a big hospital, they found out she had tuberculosis.
It was incurable; she just had to endure it, for as long as she could.
She still remembers when the diagnosis was confirmed, her son Xiwang’s eyes turned red instantaneously.
Aunt Liu was also very upset.
Because she couldn’t bear to leave her son.
Her husband died early, and her family couldn’t offer much help, while her in-laws were even more harsh.
Aunt Liu was almost solely dependent on her son.
Two years ago, her son was only 18, unmarried. He had lost his father, and if he lost his mother too, who would stand up for him when he’s in trouble?
That’s why Aunt Liu held on bitterly till now.
Half a year ago, without knowing what Xiwang did, he convinced his cousin in the Northwest Military Region to bring them here, hoping for treatment.
Unfortunately, while they got here, his cousin, despite being a doctor for many years, couldn’t treat tuberculosis.
However, this cousin was kind to Xiwang.
Upon learning that Xiwang was unwilling to leave and wished to stay in the Northwest Military Region Hospital to find a treatment method, the cousin arranged a job for Xiwang.
Now he works in the military hospital’s canteen.
Aunt Liu thought it was alright.
Except...
Her son always hoped to become a doctor. Earlier this year, there was a training course at the military hospital, a great opportunity, but her son didn’t qualify to participate.
But now...
As a mother, she feels she found an opportunity for her son.
As long as Xiwang can become a doctor, even if it meant her dying immediately, she would be willing.
She knows her own illness.
Surviving till now is already the limit.
As for what Doctor Gu just said...
Aunt Liu thought, maybe the doctor was too young to discern her condition, or maybe Doctor Gu noticed but didn’t want to worry her, hence saying it could be cured.
Aunt Liu laughed, a bitter smile on her lips, thinking how could it possibly be cured?
Holding the prescription, Aunt Liu knew the medicine would be useless. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
But...
She still had to take it, as instructed.
With this in mind, Aunt Liu handed the prescription to the person at the window, quickly getting a few packets of medicine before heading home.
The so-called home was arranged by Xiwang’s cousin for them.
It was a small, single-room house in the family housing, very small. After moving in, they had to partition the room to live in it.
Being non-military relatives, getting to stay in the Northwest Military Region, having a place to live, was already very good.
Both the housing and the job for Xiwang made Aunt Liu very grateful to Xiwang’s cousin.
Soon, soon, Xiwang’s dream of becoming a doctor would be fulfilled.
While simmering the medicine, Aunt Liu picked up the needle and cloth beside her, thinking to make more clothes for her son while she still had time, as there would be no one left to do it for him otherwise.
At the thought, Aunt Liu couldn’t help but shed tears.
At noon, Liu Xiwang came back.
He was carrying food from the canteen, with some meat in it.
This was the convenience of working in the canteen.
Once back, he smelled the medicine and, seeing the decoction on the stove, his eyes filled with joy.
He hastily rushed inside, "Mom, did you see the doctor?"
Setting down the needlework, Aunt Liu looked up, her eyes filled with tenderness on seeing her son.
"Yes, your cousin said Doctor Gu in the Traditional Medicine Department has excellent skills and talent. Maybe he can cure Mom’s illness."
"An introduction from Cousin?" Liu Xiwang initially frowned.
But quickly, hearing the mention of Doctor Gu from the Traditional Medicine Department, he immediately understood.
"Doctor Gu, oh Doctor Gu is good, I’ve heard about her, she is talented and has excellent medical skills. So, Mom, what did Doctor Gu say?"
While working in the canteen, Liu Xiwang had been inquiring about skilled doctors to treat his mother.
Recently, he heard a lot about the doctor Gu Jia Ning from the Traditional Medicine Department.
Everyone said, though she is young, her medical skills are indeed good.
Especially in fertility treatments, she has real skills.
Back then, Liu Xiwang was wondering if this Doctor Gu might treat tuberculosis.
But no matter what, he wanted to try.
So he planned to find some time to persuade his mom to try treatment with Doctor Gu.
He was afraid his mom might not agree.
After all, tuberculosis is a nearly incurable disease.
His mom, having lived to this point, was already stretching the limits.
Thus, she felt hopeless and reluctant to see doctors.
But Liu Xiwang, as her son, had to do something.
