Chapter 792: Chapter 370: The Nutritionist’s Support, A Lifetime for One Thing
"Not treating the disease first, but strengthening nutrition first—your treatment approach is quite unique!"
Lian Tao’s eyes brightened slightly, yet his expression was still full of concern.
The patient’s intestines have become so weak due to the disease.
Not thinking of solving the disease first, but strengthening nutrition inside and outside the intestines—isn’t this like fattening cattle and sheep to fight against tigers and wolves?
According to the cruel survival laws of nature, there is no other option but to die faster.
Can Li Jingsheng’s proposed plan really work?
That’s still a question.
Because Lian Tao, having practiced medicine for so many years, never thought of treating the disease this way.
The most mainstream diagnostic thinking is to find the cause of the disease and then eliminate it.
No matter how complex the cause, he’s encountered it before and has many ways to solve them.
For example, divide and conquer.
Or use more than two treatment methods simultaneously, taking a dual approach.
But he never thought of strengthening the nutrition of a patient in a state of illness to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.
This is actually just a habit of thinking.
In fields like oncology and leukemia, examples of strengthening nutrition before treatment are numerous.
It’s just that this patient’s situation is special, as it is a digestive disease, and few doctors would think of such a quirky treatment approach.
"To save such critically ill patients, perhaps one must take a radical approach."
Li Jingsheng’s words carried a trace of almost obsessive confidence.
More like a masterful figure in martial arts dramas, one who is both villainous and righteous.
Acting contrary to common sense.
Not just Lian Tao—even the disease might not expect the doctor to play his cards this way.
"Why not use aggressive medication for severe cases?"
Lian Tao retorted.
"Aggressive medication for severe cases also needs to take circumstances into account. The patient’s intestines and body are so weakened. No matter how strong the medication is, the body can’t absorb it, and it’s just like punching into thin air."
This kind of bickering between the two happens quite often.
That’s how friends are, most of the time.
Not daring to joke around doesn’t make them friends, but guests, elders, bosses, or strangers.
"Your treatment approach is ultimately a bit unconventional. I’ve never tried it for such patients. Lives are at stake, so I’ll call a nutritionist for advice."
After saying this, Lian Tao actually pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Mu Yin, what’s up?"
After dialling, Lian Tao asked with a smile.
Judging by the tone, he seemed very familiar with this nutritionist.
"I’m cooking, making two pots of nourishing soup. Would you like to come over and try some?"
"Ah haha, I’ll try your cooking some other time when there’s a chance. I have a critically ill patient here..." Lian Tao laughed it off and declined, then briefly explained the patient’s situation.
"I’ve invited a friend for a consultation; he thinks we should first strengthen nutritional support inside and outside the intestines. Do you think it’s feasible? The patient’s current situation is dire, and I don’t have much time left. I’m mainly worried that spending time on strengthening nutrition would delay precious treatment opportunities. The patient is already developing multiple complications, and it feels like medication can’t suppress them."
The female nutritionist on the other end of the line remained silent.
Clearly, she was pondering.
Lian Tao was patient in his waiting.
Li Jingsheng, on the other hand, was carefully reviewing the patient’s records once more.
Strengthening nutritional support inside and outside the intestines isn’t as simple as just administering a nutritional injection; it requires a multi-angle approach.
"Lian Tao, with this patient’s condition, I think it’s feasible. Based on your description earlier, if we just follow the usual methods, there’s a high probability the patient would die from complications. Moreover, survival time is unlikely to exceed a month. According to your friend’s method, while it seems a bit offbeat, it’s actually the most likely way to save this life."
The female nutritionist considered for a good three or four minutes before providing an answer.
"I didn’t expect you to support his treatment plan. Seems my thoughts are outdated. My friend might not be very skilled in nutrition-based treatments. Could you help with the consultation and offer some suggestions on nutritional enhancement?"
It’s not just a day or two that Lian Tao has been dealing with Li Jingsheng.
He naturally knows what Li Jingsheng is skilled at and what he isn’t.
In reality, professional nutritionists are not classified as doctors but as nurses.
"How could I not agree to your invitation! Send me the patient’s information. I’ll review it later and provide nutritional advice."
"Haha, thanks! I’ll package and send it to your email right away."
"Bye!"
The other party hung up the phone first.
Lian Tao opened his computer and operated quickly, while chatting leisurely with Li Jingsheng.
"Brother Tao, she invited you over for soup, why didn’t you go?"
Li Jingsheng had never heard Lian Tao mention a wife, guessing he might be single.
For such an outstanding man like him, even past forty, he’s still very sought after.
There would be many young and pretty women willing to be his partner.
"Look at me, I’m so busy, how could I manage to go? And besides, when a young lady asks a man to go over late at night, I’m indeed a bit afraid I wouldn’t be able to leave after having the soup."
He’s not a naive young man, but a mature middle-aged man.
"Such a good thing, many men would dream of, yet you seem hesitant. Would you really suffer as a man?"
"Go on, go on, you little brat know nothing! Just approaching any woman you see—that’s the behavior of a lustful beast. The woman I wish to share a bed with must be someone I love."
