The patient was stunned for a moment and then said, “Pregnant? What are you talking about? I’m not pregnant.”
“Not pregnant?” The girl with glasses was stunned momentarily, obviously not believing it.
The woman seemed to be in her early thirties, with a slightly plump figure but not fat. However, her belly was bulging as if she was about to give birth. Anyone who saw her would think she was about to give birth. How could she not be pregnant?
The woman pulled the crying child into his arms, covered his chest, and said:
“I’m not pregnant; I just have a big belly, and I’m short of breath. I gasp when I move. It’s too hot today. I was exposed to the sun, and somehow, I closed my eyes and fainted.”
As soon as these words came out, a trace of a red cloud flashed across the face of the woman with glasses. Just now, she swore that the woman was pregnant, but now she was slapped in the face in public. She was not pregnant at all. But this did not make sense. For a normal person, having a belly as big as if she were about to give birth would not be normal, no matter how you looked at it.
“You haven’t been to the doctor?”
“I have.” The woman said weakly, “I have had many tests, but they couldn’t find any problems.”
The girl with glasses frowned again: “Then change to another hospital! Your stomach is very abnormal!”
The crowd nodded and looked at Sophia in confusion. How did this girl say that the woman was not pregnant? Did she feel the patient’s pulse? If so, this girl’s medical skills must be extraordinary. After all, even an old doctor might not be able to do this.
Sophia didn’t care what others thought. He lifted the patient’s wrist, placed it gently on his wrist, and took the patient’s pulse again.
She closed her eyes. The noise around her had nothing to do with her anymore. The only thing in her mind was the woman’s pulse and everything it told her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was completely sure.
Sophia spoke in a gentle voice: “Besides chest tightness and shortness of breath, do you have cold limbs and pain in your chest?”
When the woman heard this, she nodded with difficulty: “Yes.”
“Do you still have difficulty breathing and get easily frightened in daily life?”
The woman was more and more surprised: “Yes, how did you know?”
What Sophia said was all right. During this period, she had been feeling fear and had difficulty breathing. She also had pains in her chest. Even worse was that her belly was getting bigger every day. The neighbors asked her how many months pregnant she was. But when she went to the hospital for a check-up, they found that she was not pregnant at all. To be on the safe side, she went to several hospitals, but the results were all the same.
This is strange. She is clearly not pregnant and not sick, but her belly is getting bigger day by day, like a balloon.
The woman didn’t have any serious illness to begin with, and after cooling down a little, she gradually calmed down and was able to sit up with difficulty.
” Are you a doctor? What you said is correct. Do you know what disease I have? Why is my belly getting bigger and bigger?”
Sophia didn’t answer, but just spread out his hands and said to Beatrice: “Do you have paper and pen?”
“Yes, yes!” Beatrice handed it over hurriedly.
Sophia picked up the pen and said as he wrote: “To put it simply, you have phlegm in your body, which prevents the air in your body from flowing and causes the air to sink. Therefore, your belly is getting bigger and bigger.”
The woman was stunned. “Are you saying that I am like this just because I have phlegm in my body?”
“To put it more professionally, this disease is called atmospheric collapse with phlegm and blood stasis. It cannot be cured in a short time.” After saying that, Sophia handed the note to the patient: “Your pulse is thin, slippery, and weak, and your breathing is failing. If you don’t take it seriously, your life will be in danger. I have written the prescription. You should take three doses in a row and then call me at the top.”
The woman was about to take it with tears of gratitude, but the woman with glasses suddenly said:
“Ridiculous! You can’t listen to her. I see she is also a student. Does she have the right to prescribe medicine? What if there is a problem after taking the medicine? Besides, can She cure a problem that Professional Doctors can’t cure?”
Sophia had just arrived and didn’t want to cause any trouble, so he just glanced at her and said calmly:
“Traditional and Modern medicine are complementary, not contradictory. In my case, Traditional medicine can cure problems that modern medicine cannot!”
After saying that, she turned and left.
“So domineering!” Beatrice looked like a fangirl. She secretly took a photo of the prescription and sent it to the class group.
“Teachers, top students! Can you please see if this prescription can be used? The patient’s belly is as big as if she was giving birth; how could it be just because of phlegm blocking the air?”
Soon, a phone call came.
“Professor?”
The professor was very excited: “Student Beatrice, where is the person who prescribed the medicine? I want to discuss with him why he used this prescription. His prescription skills are so high, he should be at the level of traditional medicine, right? Is it Mr. Charles or an expert from another state?”
These words made Beatrice and a group of classmates stand there in a daze. They stared at Sophia departing back and couldn’t recover for a long time.
The driver returned to the car and turned around to say, “Boss Scott, a lady fainted, but she’s fine now.”
“Yeah.” Scott Livinus’s face was calm. He closed his eyes and said nothing more.
The car passed through the streets of the city center, bypassed the lush garden, and finally stopped in front of the villa.
The Scott family’s villa has a long history and has been renovated many times. Otherwise, in this era, it would not be easy to own a villa covering thousands of square meters in the city center, even if you have money.
Livinus, dressed in a black suit, got out of the car.
“Livinus, are you back?” Uncle Williams came over and asked.
Uncle Williams watched him grow up, and Livinus said respectfully, “Uncle Williams, where is Dad?”
