Liu Shimei’s gloves were made of cloth, so they were naturally not comparable to modern rubber gloves. She was still trying to figure out a way to create rubber gloves. She wanted to find some rubber to experiment on.
After all, that still needed time, so she temporarily let Mo’er sew something that was not that good. The outside was made of smooth silk material, and the inside was made of oilpaper that was waterproof.
After taking the anti-virus medicine, putting on a mask and gloves, she walked forward to check the old man’s face for pus.
She checked a few of them and asked, “When did you start having these symptoms?”
Feeling the silky cloth sliding across his face, the old man stared at Liu Shimei’s face and replied, “A few days ago.”
Liu Shimei frowned. “If you had it a few days ago, why did you only come today? If you had come earlier and taken the medicine in time, it wouldn’t have been so serious.”
“I’m poor, I don’t have money to see a doctor!” The old man replied confidently.
Liu Shimei paused and looked at him strangely. “So you have money today?”
“No money!” The old man snorted coldly. “But I’m going to die soon. Can this thing of mine infect others? As long as I’m here, you guys must think of a way to treat me. Otherwise, I’ll hug a few people and not let go!”
Liu Shimei,
Shocking!
There was actually such a scoundrel!
However, this logic was really strong!
“What’s wrong? Are you scared? Do you want to be like them and not be willing to treat me?” The old man could not see her mouth and nose under the mask, but seeing the surprise in her eyes, he instinctively thought that she was afraid.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shimei’s eyes revealed a trace of a smile. She shook her head and said, “In your situation, you might not be able to infect others. Besides, even if you infect someone else, I’m not worried that you’ll infect me.”
In modern times, there were many allergic and infectious diseases. These things were not that scary in Western medicine.
If she was effectively isolated, she would not be infected. Moreover, she had the formula of Western medicine in her mind, so it was not difficult to treat herself.
“This is called jaundice. It might be sensitive to contact. Normally speaking, it should be more likely for children to contract it. I’m very curious how you got yourself covered in these sores.”
Liu Shimei explained the illness while saying, “At first, when there were spots on your body, it was itchy. Did you scratch it? If you didn’t wash your hands after scratching, the germs would be stuck under your nails and scratched elsewhere. It’s a vicious cycle, covering more and more skin.”
The old man did not say anything and just stared into her eyes.
After Liu Shimei finished examining him, she took off her gloves and said, “I’ll prescribe you some medicine, both oral and external. But the main point is still yourself. You have to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables to relieve your bowels. Second, try to keep your body clean and dry to prevent secondary infection. Third, if it is necessary to scratch it again, don’t scald it with hot water or use soap. Lastly, don’t eat spicy food.”
After listening to her list of medical advice, the old man thought for a moment before asking, “Can you guarantee that it will be fine? When will it be cured?”
Liu Shimei burst out laughing. “If a doctor guarantees your recovery, don’t believe that doctor! After all, whether or not you can get better is not up to me, but up to you! If I try my best to treat you, but you don’t listen to my instructions and instead worsen your illness, can you blame me?”
The old man’s eyes widened as he nodded.
Liu Shimei did not know why he nodded and was about to get the blank prescription.
However, when she reached the door, she paused and turned around to ask, “Old man, I’m just a doctor’s apprentice.. Do you mind letting me prescribe medicine for you?”
