58 Taking the Medicine
The first step to rescuing patients with hypothermia was to get them to leave the low-temperature environment.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly took off her winter clothes. “Ergou! Go to the kitchen and build a brazier! Hurry! Boil a few more buckets of hot water!”
Su Ergou: “The pot...”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Go borrow it from the neighbors. Be polite!”
“Alright.”
Su Ergou turned around and walked out.
The cold wind and snow seemed to press down on Su Ergou’s face mercilessly.
Su Ergou did not close his mouth and took a deep breath of snow.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
“Tui tui tui!”
He spat out the snow in his mouth in disdain and knocked on the door next door.
The person who opened the door was the woman who had just spoken to them.
The woman had just been sweeping and was holding a broom with snow hanging on it.
“What’s wrong now?” the woman asked.
She probably didn’t like Aunt Fu. After knowing that the siblings were here to look for her, she didn’t have a good attitude toward them.
Su Ergou remembered his sister’s advice and said politely, “Madam, do you have many pots at home? I want to borrow one from you.”
When Su Ergou was a bully, he was fierce. When he was obedient, he was actually quite a pleasing young man. Coupled with his gentle tone, he was... quite likable.
The woman coughed lightly and said indifferently, “Why are you borrowing the pot?”
Su Ergou said truthfully, “Aunt Fu next door fainted and the pot at home was burned through. I want to use the pot to boil some hot water for her.”
“She fainted?” The woman was shocked. “Isn’t her body quite strong?”
Su Ergou scratched his head. “Maybe it was too slippery in the snow and she accidentally fell. Then, she fainted from the cold.”
The woman frowned and turned around to enter the house to get a big pot for Su Ergou. Then, she looked at Su Ergou deeply, as if she was wondering if that bad-tempered old woman would actually have someone help her.
Hadn’t she scolded him enough?
To be honest, if it weren’t for Physician Fu, who would be willing to bother with that old woman?
“Who are you to her?” the woman asked.
“We’re here to buy peanuts from her,” Su Ergou said.
The woman said nothing more.
Su Ergou took the pot to the kitchen and quickly boiled hot water.
In the house, Su Xiaoxiao took off the granny’s snow-soaked clothes and reattached the splint on her leg.
Su Xiaoxiao was already very careful throughout the entire process, but she could still feel that Aunt Fu’s breathing was getting stranger.
She took Aunt Fu’s pulse and opened her eyes. “Could it be...”
Su Xiaoxiao had a guess.
She retrieved the first aid kit from the small basket.
She was going to perform a follow-up on Young Master Xiang today, so she brought her first aid kit with her before leaving.
The first aid kit contained a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor.
Aunt Fu’s left arm was slightly bruised. She tied the sleeve of the blood pressure gauge to Aunt Fu’s right arm and stuffed the stethoscope’s receiver in. As she pumped and pressed, she observed the blood pressure gauge’s data.
As expected, Aunt Fu’s blood pressure was very high.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know about Aunt Fu’s medical history, so she wasn’t sure if it was a one-time increase in blood pressure caused by frostbite or if her blood pressure had always been high.
Either way, she had to reduce the patient’s pressure immediately.
She could take this opportunity to see if she could enter the pharmacy.
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was still where she was.
“No way. Someone’s going to die. Can it work?”
High blood pressure and frostbite shock were very dangerous! It was much more dangerous than Young Master Xiang’s condition the previous time!
Su Xiaoxiao tried many times to no avail. Just as she was about to give up, her vision flashed and she entered the pharmacy.
She was standing in front of the medicine cabinet in the Cardiology Department.
Su Xiaoxiao was confused.
“Are you on a 2G network? Your reaction is so slow.”
Although she was complaining, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t forget to take medicine, such as blood pressure medicine, diuretics, potassium chloride...
“And Father Su’s medicine!”
It was rare for her to come in. She had to-
Just as the thought flashed through her mind, her vision blurred.
She was out.
Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened.
Last time, she had at least taken a bottle of bone-strengthening medicine. This time, she couldn’t even retrieve that.
“How tightly guarded.”
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips.
Actually, she did not completely understand what was going on. After all, she had only entered three times. If she wanted to figure out the pattern, she would probably have to try a few more times.
“Let’s treat Aunt Fu first.”
In the kitchen, Ergou raised the brazier and the hot water was ready.
Su Xiaoxiao used a water bag to fill a few hot water bags to warm Aunt Fu’s body. Aunt Fu finally regained a trace of consciousness.
She opened her eyes stiffly and saw Su Xiaoxiao busying herself in the room.
“It’s... you...”
She was freezing, and her tongue was no longer sharp.
Su Xiaoxiao greeted, “It’s me, Aunt Fu.”
Aunt Fu couldn’t move, but Su Xiaoxiao could tell that she had rolled her eyes at her.
Since she could still roll her eyes, it seemed she wouldn’t die.
Su Xiaoxiao helped her up slightly and placed a pillow behind her back. She carried a glass of water and a cup of medicine. “Since you’re awake, take the medicine.”
Aunt Fu continued to stubbornly and slowly roll her eyes!
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the medicine into her mouth and fed her a few spoonfuls of warm water.
In her situation, taking blood pressure medicine alone was not enough. She had to keep up with the diuretics and potassium chloride.
Having taken strange medicine, Aunt Fu continued to roll her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You can speak now, right? If you can’t, you can nod and blink. I need to know your medical history so that I can treat you more accurately later.”
Aunt Fu retorted, “My son is a physician. Do I need you to treat me?”
Besides, what medical skills could a little girl know? Forget it!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The first question is, do you often feel dizzy? Sometimes, your chest will be stuffy and your limbs will be numb?”
Aunt Fu was stunned, and her disdainful expression froze.
“Looks like it.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and continued, “Are the above symptoms more common in the morning and evening?”
Aunt Fu was even more surprised.
“Looks like it again.” Su Xiaoxiao understood that she had guessed correctly again.
If Aunt Fu’s condition was not controlled, it was easy to trigger cardiovascular disease, such as angina, and so on. In serious cases, it might even cause a cerebral infarction and a heart attack.
Her fall might have been caused by her high blood pressure and dizziness. Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao and Ergou came to buy peanuts. Otherwise, Aunt Fu would have died of illness or frozen to death.
“Look at you. It’s not like there’s no one living next door. Can’t you scream if you fall? You’d rather faint from the cold than shout for help. What a stubborn temper!”
Su Xiaoxiao cherished her life, especially after dying once. She could understand how precious life was.
What was more important than life?
“Have you thought about Physician Fu’s feelings? If he came back from consultation and realized that his mother was gone, he wouldn’t even be able to see you for the last time! How can he face himself for the rest of his life? Can he forgive himself when he thinks that his consultation indirectly caused your accident? Can he continue to save the dying and heal the injured? Can he still hold the silver needles in his hand?”
