"And the cost may be a bit expensive. One set costs more than 10,000. Because this device is targeted at only a very small number of people, it cannot be used in large quantities." Zhou Cheng told the truth.

In fact, he could give one as a gift, but if he gave it to all the patients he met, then Zhang Zhengquan's company would not need to continue to operate. This kind of brace is originally aimed at a small number of people, and there is no need to say that the rich people have it.

People who don’t have money don’t need it.

When he was in Shanghai, the old man specially asked Zhou Cheng and Zhang Zhengquan to make a special wheelchair. On the fourth day after the operation, he could attend meetings. He could walk on his own, and he could also sit and walk. It was better than a wheelchair.

Once you get up, it feels much more convenient and normal.

At present, the old man has already removed it, but because it is specially made, it cannot be used by others. It is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars and is just a decoration.

But for the old man, tens of thousands of dollars could buy this brace, which was well worth it.

The middle-aged man frowned tightly when he heard this. He was obviously frightened by the cost. It costs five figures to replace it once a year. This is not a small amount of money.

Annual income and disposable expenses are not the same!

Seeing the middle-aged man's hesitation, Zhou Cheng added, "You can go back and think about it carefully, or you can test it for a year first. If it doesn't work and it doesn't help the child, we won't order it anymore."

"Only a few people know about this brace at present, so even if you ask other doctors, they probably don't know about it and they won't be able to provide you with this resource."

Doctors often can only give one suggestion. Maybe the middle-aged man will ask elsewhere. Zhou Cheng also made it clear in advance that others may not know this.

Finally, the middle-aged man took the contact information given by Zhou Cheng and left.

But after the patient left, Ziyi reminded him: "Dr. Zhou, it is very dangerous to let the patient designate the device manufacturer and pharmacy to buy medicine. If he reports it, there will be a lot of trouble."

"I know." Zhou Cheng nodded.

Nowadays, the medical industry is strictly investigating pharmaceutical rebates, especially those who purchase drugs at designated locations and then receive rebates.

However, Zhang Zhengquan, a bad guy, never gave Zhou Cheng any so-called kickbacks, and he was not afraid of investigation.

Although there may be complaints, as long as you sit upright, you are not afraid of others checking. The positioning of the brace is a high-end product, which is unknown to ordinary people, and Zhou Cheng will not negotiate further.

"But this patient is very special. He has been to many big hospitals, but he has not received better medical services. Maybe he will report it, but I still prefer to believe that he believes that I am well-intentioned, and his heart is also excellent.

."

"Go and call for the next patient to come in." Zhou Cheng made a decision.

In the past, Zhou Cheng would never have done such a thing. At that time, he was still hanging out with others, and if something happened, he would have to be protected by others.

But things are different now. He is an independent practitioner himself and is about to get an intermediate professional title. He can act upright and sit upright, so he doesn't need anyone else to protect him.

This is the confidence and foundation.

Ziyi didn't dare to point fingers at Zhou Cheng, but she still felt that it was very risky, but Zhou Chengdu decided that she could only call in the next patient.

The third outpatient was a woman in her fifties, very fat, mainly suffering from foot pain.

Especially the center of the foot, when standing, the pain is excruciating, but after sitting down, the pain is relieved a lot. She is independent and very good at talking.

"Dr. Zhou, you are an expert. I came here specifically for you. My foot has been hurting for several years and it has never healed."

"Some people said that I need surgery on my feet, and others said that I need more physical therapy. But I have had physical therapy and massage many times. It was effective at the time, but I just couldn't get rid of the root." said the middle-aged woman.

Haha, he seems to be an optimist.

Zhou Cheng came in from the other side and roughly understood what the situation was like, so he said: "Auntie, your foot hurts. Does it hurt a lot when you stand? Does it get better when you sit down?"

"Yes, yes, yes, doctor, you are right." The middle-aged woman took off her shoes, which were hard-soled sandals, then crossed her legs and pointed out the specific location to Zhou Cheng.

, roughly in the center of the sole.

"It's right here. It hurts even if I press it." The middle-aged woman gasped as she pressed.

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng smiled, put on the mask, changed a pair of gloves, and murmured in a low voice that he had seen a common disease. This is plantar fasciitis, a very common disease that occurs frequently.

In middle-aged and elderly people, it is caused by adhesion of the plantar fascia.

However, despite his concerns, Zhou Cheng still carefully performed a physical examination, and then pressed the aunt's chubby feet and found that there was no problem with the bones.

Then he stood up and said, "Have you been injured? Have you taken any pictures?"

It cannot be generalized empirically. Although plantar fasciitis is the most likely possibility, in fact, differential diagnoses such as spontaneous fractures and cubital arthritis must be ruled out.

"I took it but didn't take it. The doctor said it's fine. But it just hurts." The aunt stopped her legs and looked at Zhou Cheng eagerly.

Zhou Cheng also returned to his seat, took her medical record, started to write down the physical examination, and then said: "I will prescribe some medicines for you. If you can follow the prescriptions, the pain will be relieved quickly. However,

You have to keep using it.”

"Okay, okay, you take it. I will remember to take it on time. My wife just gave birth to a grandson. I held her for an entire afternoon the first few times. Oops, my feet were almost useless. I had to lie down for two days before she felt better."

, I hurried over to see the doctor."

"Alas!" The middle-aged woman looked happy and disappointed.

Zhou Chengcheng said: "After you go back, you buy a few pairs of good sports shoes. You tell the shopping guide that they are the kind of shoes that athletes wear specifically for running."

"Second point, don't eat too greasy food after you go back, only eat lean meat."

"Third point, your food intake should be reduced to at least a quarter of the current amount, and eat smaller meals more frequently. For example, if you eat three meals a day now, you should eat four meals. Each meal should not be more.

"

"Fourth point, you can go to the nutrition department to see if they have any diet for you. If you can control your weight and insist on wearing good, soft-soled shoes, your pain will be relieved a lot."

"Then if you continue to insist on foot soaking and physical therapy, it is not impossible to stop the pain."

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth wide: "This is the prescription. I thought there was medicine? I won't take it? Aren't you hungry?"

"You will be hungry, but it will get better after a while. Eat smaller meals more often, less fat meat, and less staple food. Otherwise, if you don't lose weight, this pain will always exist. And in the future, your

There will also be problems with the joints, and major surgery will be necessary at that time." Zhou Cheng said with a smile.

He was not being alarmist. When he saw the aunt's weight when she came in, he roughly guessed what the problem was. In fact, some thin people can also develop this kind of plantar fasciitis.

It is more common in women, and it is more common in young women.

High heels, those with hard soles and stiletto heels that go against the arch of the foot, are simply the natural raw materials for plantar fasciitis. They don’t require any special cooking methods. Just wear them consistently and get the right fit.

Even if the accident does not occur, stress may accumulate to the tibia, and a stress fracture will occur.

"Hey, if you don't eat fat meat, what's the point of eating meat? Let me tell you, Dr. Zhou, I think meat is just the smell of fat meat, and lean meat is all made of firewood, not

How to eat.”

"Then you can eat eggs, just egg whites, or beef. The fat content of fish is a bit high."

With that said, Zhou Chengcheng finished writing: "That's about it. Remember to persevere when you go back. It's more cost-effective for you to spend money on a few pairs of better shoes than to take medicine, and you can also have grandchildren by then. After you lose weight,

, I will feel much more relaxed..."

When it came to having a grandson, the middle-aged woman nodded seriously: "Okay, for the sake of my grandson, I will give it a try, otherwise Sister Wang will say again that if I don't take care of my grandson, my son will not care about me in the future."

With that said, she picked up the medical record and left. She opened it and looked back, "Doctor, do I know your name?"

Zhou Cheng smiled and did not answer. Instead, Ziyi came up and explained: "There are some incomprehensible characters, which are Latin characters or abbreviations. Not all characters are incomprehensible."

"Then I'll be relieved." She turned around and went out. It could be seen that she had a good personality.

It is estimated that if she does not bring her grandson, if she is so optimistic, her son will not be able to ignore her...

After Ziyi brought the next patient in, she asked Zhou Cheng: "What is the diagnosis of the aunt in front? Doctor Zhou, I also occasionally feel pain in my feet."

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng turned to look at her shoes and said, "You don't need to buy flat shoes. You can just wear more nurse shoes and there's no need to lose weight."

"Although wearing high heels can make you look beautiful, it can also hurt your feet, so you need to pay attention to their protection. Our orthopedic joint surgeons never take the stairs in the elevator, just to protect our knees." Zhou Cheng explained carefully.

Ziyi asked in astonishment: "If you don't even climb stairs, isn't that not a good exercise?"

"Fitness, but we orthopedic surgeons have never done anything like squats that damage joints. We prefer swimming, low-speed jogging, and seldom go on the treadmill. And even if we want to lift irons, we will choose single-joint exercises.

I wouldn’t choose multi-joint exercises.”

"Exercise is also very particular. It depends on which muscles you exercise, and then find a more scientific way of exercising. Otherwise."

Before Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he looked at the two new young girls who came in. Based on their dress, he estimated that these two girls were also dancers, or they were doing aerobics or something else at home.

"Hello, where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"I've been feeling uncomfortable behind my knee for several weeks. I've been to other places before and they said they needed surgery. I was a little scared, so I didn't do it. But recently, it's still painful when I squat or stand up.

, it’s extremely painful.”

"Then I happened to see Dr. Zhou's clinic, so I came here." The person who spoke was my sister. She was young, probably about twenty years old. Next to her was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, who was somewhat similar to her.

It should be my sister.

"Both of you, do you have knee pain? Are you dancing Pamela at home?" Zhou Cheng asked tentatively.

According to the literature he learned, girls in cities currently have a high rate of chronic injuries to their knee joints due to various factors such as maintaining their figure and doing aerobics.

As for Pamela, it is a more common type of aerobics...

"Yeah." Both sisters nodded at the same time.

Then my sister reacted and asked: "This is our MRI. A doctor said that we are naturally thicker and need surgery to remove it, and then the pain will be gone."

She was still quite alert and did not say which doctor it was.

However, even if what they said was incomplete, Zhou Cheng also knew that this was a very common meniscus in the field of sports medicine. The disc-shaped meniscus is easy to rupture and is an abnormal meniscus.
