"Oh my God, Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?"
Dr. Li waved his hand and walked into Xiao Zhang's living room with a helpless and eager look. Xiao Zhang, a 27-year-old postman, has just been diagnosed with liver cancer.
This sunny and lively young man, faced with his illness, chose a surprising way to cope: continued to smoke, drink, resolutely did not take medicine, and did not go to the hospital for treatment. His family was helpless and had to turn to his long-time family doctor, Dr. Lee.
Dr. Lee is an experienced and well-informed doctor who is particularly adept at dealing with such difficult mental and physical issues. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Zhang lying on the sofa, still holding cigarettes and wine in his hands, and his eyes revealed an indescribable resoluteness.
"I just want to be comfortable, Dr. Lee, I know what you're trying to say, but I don't want to listen to that headache-inducing medical advice. Xiao Zhang took a sip of wine, looking slightly stubborn.
Dr. Li sat down and did not preach directly, but chatted with Xiao Zhang first. He asked about Zhang's work, life, and interesting things he encountered as a postman. The two chatted like this for a while, and the atmosphere slowly became relaxed.
"You know, Xiao Zhang, in fact, the liver is a very important organ in our body, not only to help us break down alcohol, but also to detoxify, make protein, store energy, and so on. Dr. Lee slowly began to introduce the topic, his tone calm and caring.
"Oh, is it?" Xiao Zhang, although still a little resistant, was still attracted some attention by Dr. Li's words. "That's right, even if the liver is already damaged, its ability to repair itself is quite strong with a reasonable diet and lifestyle adjustments. Dietary modification and reduction of alcohol intake can significantly improve liver function tests. ”
"Moreover, if liver cancer patients can receive early treatment, the five-year survival rate can reach more than 30%. Moreover, after receiving psychological intervention, liver cancer patients not only improved their emotional state, but also prolonged their survival. ”
Xiao Zhang listened, and his brows gradually loosened a little. He knows that Dr. Li is not the kind of doctor who only talks about his medical skills, and he is always able to come up with concrete data to support his opinion.
"So, even if I'm in this situation, there's still hope?" asked Xiao Zhang, with a hint of inquiry in his voice. "Of course, there will always be hope, as long as we are willing to act. Dr. Lee replied, his eyes full of encouragement.
After chatting for a long time, Zhang finally agreed to try to follow Dr. Lee's advice, adjust his lifestyle, and reconsider his treatment plan. As he was leaving, Xiao Zhang suddenly asked, "Doctor Li, can you elaborate on the specific methods you just said to improve liver function?"
"Of course, Zhang. In fact, there are many ways to improve liver function, such as moderate exercise, healthy eating habits, including eating more antioxidant-rich foods and less fried and processed foods. As for specific eating and lifestyle habits, I can help you develop a detailed plan. Dr. Lee's answers are professional, down-to-earth, and full of human touch.
