I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 391 - 163: This Illness Is "Jue": Dangerous in Appearance, Yet Still Curable
"No need, Teacher Jiao, there’s no point in doing this."
"It’s just a little something, nothing valuable. They were sent by the old lady from home. She sent too many, and my child isn’t around to eat them all. I gave some to Elder Huang and the others before." Jiao Shuo explained.
Since Jiao Shuo mentioned Elder Huang and the others, Lu Xuan couldn’t refuse anymore.
Refusing outright would make him seem arrogant?
Are Elder Huang and the others not also highly regarded?
One can only say that Jiao Shuo is really good with social relations.
"Okay, I’ll accept it."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, then said, "Teacher Jiao, I have a patient waiting for me, so I won’t chat with you much now. Let’s talk later."
"Sure, sure, you go ahead and be busy."
"Don’t be so formal, Teacher Jiao. Just call me Lu."
"How could I do that? You’re of the same generation as Elder Huang and the others, I..."
Jiao Shuo was interrupted by Lu Xuan just as he was speaking.
"That’s how it’ll be. Otherwise, Teacher Jiao, I won’t accept your gift." Lu Xuan joked, pretending to be angry.
Jiao Shuo hesitated and said, "Alright, I’ll be bold then."
Lu Xuan didn’t chat much with Jiao Shuo, took the prepared pills, and went to the registration hall. Seeing Zhang Qixia sitting there, he approached and said, "Sister Zhang, I’ll help you up to the second floor. It’s too crowded on the first floor. There aren’t many people in front of my clinic on the second floor. You can have a glass of water, take the medicine, and wait there for a while, and I’ll check on the effects later."
"Alright, alright."
Zhang Qixia repeatedly nodded in agreement, but refused Lu Xuan’s assistance: "But Dr. Lu, you go ahead and be busy. I can walk by myself."
Seeing Zhang Qixia was determined, Lu Xuan didn’t insist, told her the dosage, and directly headed to the second floor.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Lu Xuan sensed something was off; it was chaotic.
This chaos was different from before. Previously, it was just crowded, with everyone talking. Plus, several parents had brought their kids, so the noise was chaotic. But now, the noise wasn’t just loud; there was a sense of panic among the voices.
"What’s going on?"
With confusion, Lu Xuan looked towards the area where people were gathered.
At the entrance of consultation room 215, quite a few people were gathered, murmuring with concern. As Lu Xuan approached, he could hear that someone had had a medical incident and was lying on the ground unconscious.
"Gu Huahua, go, quickly find Lu. Only he is skilled in this situation,"
Lu Xuan was still confused when he heard Huang Beishan’s voice from the crowd. Shortly after, Zhang Jingcai’s urgent voice followed: "Yes, yes, hurry up. If we don’t rescue now, the ambulance may not arrive in time, and he might be lost. Quickly find Lu, we need him for first aid."
"Dr. Zhang, what’s wrong with my dad?"
"I’ve noticed he’s been feeling unwell recently, so I thought of bringing him for a check-up. Unexpectedly, he collapsed soon after sitting down." A young man squatted on the ground, looking anxiously at Zhang Jingcai.
Zhang Jingcai frowned and said, "I don’t know the situation yet. Even if I did, first aid is not my expertise. Lu needs to handle this, but if my judgment is correct, your father has likely experienced Qi collapse, which is very serious. If not treated promptly, it could be life-threatening."
As they spoke, Gu Huahua quickly got up, ready to rush out to the first-floor herbal pharmacy to find Lu Xuan. Before she could run out, she saw Lu Xuan walking over quickly with a serious expression.
"Dr. Lu, you’re just in time. This patient..."
"I heard. Let me have a look first."
Gu Huahua nodded and followed Lu Xuan to the patient.
Seeing Lu Xuan had arrived, Huang Beishan said, "The patient suddenly experienced Qi collapse and became unconscious. Other conditions are unknown for now. Lu, can he be saved?"
"Let me check first."
Lu Xuan said and glanced at the patient lying on the ground. He squatted down, placing his hand on the patient’s pulse.
After a short moment of taking the pulse, Lu Xuan’s expression turned grave.
"How is it?" Zhang Jingcai asked urgently.
Lu Xuan didn’t respond immediately and instead said, "Everyone, please step back. I need to check the patient’s condition more comprehensively." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Hearing this, the initially curious crowd quickly dispersed. A few of the bolder, more curious individuals still instinctively kept an eye on the situation.
Lu Xuan swiftly pulled down the patient’s trousers to check, and his expression changed dramatically.
"This..."
Both Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai, seeing the situation, were taken aback. With years of medical experience, this was their first time encountering such a situation, leaving them momentarily stunned.
Not to mention Gu Huahua, who was completely stunned at the moment.
And some of the surrounding patients were equally shocked.
"Lu, what is this..." Zhang Jingcai recovered and couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Xuan took a breath and said, "The patient suddenly had Qi collapse, fell unconscious, and is unaware of their surroundings. The cheeks are flushed, consciousness is unclear, hands and feet are cold, and the penis has retracted into the foreskin. The pulse is floating and vigorous when taken lightly, but hollow and weak when taken deeply, showing signs of sudden collapse, though fortunately not yet rapid. However, the dorsal artery and kidney pulse are intact. This illness is ’syncope,’ very dangerous, but there is still hope for recovery."
"There is hope?"
"Yes."
Lu Xuan nodded solemnly, turning to Gu Huahua: "Go, quickly get 9 grams of American ginseng from the herbal pharmacy and urgently prepare it for immediate use to stabilize the Primordial Qi."
Gu Huahua, encountering such a situation for the first time, was initially frightened. But Huang Beishan gave her a nudge, and she snapped out of it, quickly agreeing before hurrying towards the ground floor.
"I’ll go pay." The patient’s son said hastily.
"No rush to pay, you should stay here. Your father needs someone to take care of him. Go to that clinic there and get a sheet. The floor is too cold. Let’s move your father onto a sheet first." Huang Beishan quickly stopped the young man trying to follow Gu Huahua and run downstairs.
"Thank you, Elder Huang." The young man said gratefully.
"No need for thanks, just hurry."
The young man quickly nodded and ran towards the empty clinic opposite, soon returning with a brand new white sheet.
