Chapter 0272: Endocrine Disorders
Others don't know, Ames himself knows very well that he belongs to the kind of acquired obesity, he starts to be obese at the age of three, and even if he controls his food intake, he is still getting more and more obese.
This is exactly what rural people say, some people will not grow meat if they eat dragon meat every day, and some people will become obese even if they drink boiled water.
"Ames, do you want to see a doctor?" At this time, Ye Chen spoke in Chinese. Of course, next to Ames was a young man in his thirties, named Taylor, Ye Chen knew that he was Ames's full-time secretary and translator, although he was an American, he was also fluent in Chinese, which was comparable to Teacher Anne in this regard.
"Doctor Ye, my obese figure makes me very painful, and the most painful thing is that I have to go for liposuction every month!" Ames said to Ye Chen.
When he started elementary school, his arms grew much thicker than the thighs of other normal children, and since he was in high school, because of this obesity, Western medicine could not treat it, and there was no medicine to inhibit his body from gaining weight, the attending doctor had warned his parents, saying that if he continued like that, he would not live to be twenty years old, in that case, Ames was forced to have liposuction surgery since high school.
Ames is now in his thirties, less than forty years old. But, in reality, he has been doing liposuction for almost two decades.
Although liposuction surgery is becoming more and more developed, it will not bring him any pain at the time of the operation. However, the side effects after the surgery made him very painful every time.
In this case, as long as you think about it, after extracting the original fat from your body, it will definitely cause the effect and rejection of the part.
Moreover, Ames's situation is like this every month, and the cycle is like that of a person's normal life, and only Ames himself can understand how painful it is.
Now he is in this situation, it is very difficult to eat, drink, shelter, and even see things. He was so obese that even an important member of the Lang Foxun family had been ridiculed and discriminated against by others since he was three years old. In this regard, it is very similar to the situation brought about by Harris's seizure when it was known to other peers.
"Doctor Ye, do you have a way to cure my illness?" Ames's chubby hands had already tightly grasped Ye Chen's hands, and Ye Chen could see the pleading look very clearly.
Ye Chen knew very well that no matter what the disease was, when he was suffering from illness and being tormented by the disease, it was undoubtedly very painful. Like Ames, even more so, not only in his own pain, but also in his heart, he has to be ridiculed by others to bring about that kind of physical and mental pain.
"President Ames, don't worry, I want to ask you about your situation before I can treat you!" Ye Chen said.
He can't make a guarantee at the beginning, at least to figure out what is the situation with this Ames, when did it start, and what caused him to be so obese?
After all, this disease can also be divided into congenital and acquired.
Let's start with congenital, it's been like that from birth. This may be due to the fact that the disease runs in the family, which is a genetic disorder that runs in families. In addition, if the fetus has not yet been born, and the pregnant woman is stimulated by some aspect or medication, it is also congenital. Acquired conditions, for example, after the baby is born, also due to drugs and other reasons, resulting in obesity syndrome.
"Then you hurry up and show me!" In fact, Ames has come to Shanghai two years ago to take up a post, not to mention that he is so obese, but he is very talented, and Revlon is expanding in the Chinese cosmetics market.
However, in the past two years, except for occasional visits to Western doctors to see what drugs are available for treatment, the rest of the time, I have set aside one or two days a month to have liposuction.
"President Ames, let's sit over there and talk!" Ye Chen said.
In order not to affect the other guests, Ye Chen and Ames went to the corner of the courtyard, there was no place for others, Ye Chen and Ames sat opposite, and even Ye Chen looked over, Ames was afraid that he would break Paul's chair here, he sat on the kind of chair that looked sturdy, or sat directly on the stone chair. Those thin chairs, he didn't dare to approach at all.
"Hehe, I'm like this, in the office, at least a dozen boss chairs have been broken!" Ames said with a wry smile. Although it sounded a little humorous, Ye Chen knew that he must be in pain.
Ames was right, after he came to Shanghai, because he didn't bring his own special chair, in the office, he broke more than a dozen boss chairs, and even broke the sofa, which scared many people in the company.
In fact, it is not that there is a problem with the quality of those chairs, but because the gravity is too great when he sits down, ordinary boss chairs can't bear it at all, and they are directly broken.
"President Ames, now I'm going to ask you some questions, you just have to tell the truth!" Ye Chen said.
Now the secretary Taylor is sitting next to the two, and he is translating for Ye Chen and Ames. Maybe because this involves some personal issues, when Ye Chen was about to see Ames, those people just now walked away, and no one else approached, which was naturally a reason to respect Ames's personal privacy.
"Doctor Ye, do you ask?" Ames said.
"You will tell me about your situation!" Ye Chen said.
"Dr. Yip, since I was three years old, I started to be obese, and I am still obese as an adult, and I usually don't like to exercise. Two years ago, I noticed that the skin on my lower limbs began to darken and roughen, and then expanded to the whole body. Later, he was diagnosed in the hospital with three highs, and the cause was endocrine disorder. So much so, since I was in high school, I had to take time out of my month to have liposuction!"
After Ye Chen nodded, he asked him to roll up the trouser legs of his legs, Ye Chen looked over and found that his legs had really become a little gray and black.
In the case of Ames, a white person, normal white people, the skin is white, even if it is not white, it is the kind that tends to be wheat yellow, not at all like the gray and black it is now. Obviously, this is also a symptom of his obesity syndrome.
In this, Ames has already said a very key point, it is he who talks about his body's endocrine disorder. This is the result of the examination and diagnosis of Western medicine, Ames belongs to endocrine, there is no other way to treat and treat, or even to suppress endocrine disorders at all, can only do liposuction surgery to reduce his obesity.
However, in Ye Chen's opinion, Ames himself's endocrine disorder has a lot to do with his body's spleen, stomach, and kidneys, and if there were no problems with these, Ames should not have that kind of situation.
"Do any relatives in your family have this kind of situation?" Ye Chen asked.
"No, it's not a family hereditary problem!" These questions were asked thousands of times by the doctor when Ames was examined in a big hospital, and Ames knew very well. It's just that when I came here tonight, I didn't bring any of those inspection reports.
Because he came over tonight, he was just invited to attend Vice Consul George's private banquet, and he didn't expect that George Paul would specially invite Ye Chen over. So, in that case, it was impossible for Ames to carry his medical records with him.
"President Ames, what is your current age, height, and weight?" Ye Chen asked again.
"I'm Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, I'm about 1.72 meters tall and weigh one hundred and thirty-five kilograms!" After Ye Chen listened, it was similar to what he had just guessed.
It can be seen that the weight ratio of Westerners, even if it is larger than that of Asians, Ames still belongs to the kind of obese people.
