I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 123 - 100: Diabetes, Can You Cure It?

Returning home.

Lu Jiu hadn’t yet recovered from the conversation with the old man.

He walked to the bed, looking at the dim crescent moon and the countless stars in the sky.

His thoughts seemed to drift in the air, standing against the wind.

This world does not have inventions and creations...

In other words, human existing science relies on the natural laws of the world itself. If these laws were to change, then the current science would become meaningless. If explained this way, the scientific creations humans possess now could indeed be considered gifts from Heaven.

But in this way, wouldn’t it completely devalue the efforts of humans to nothing?

In Lu Jiu’s worldview, humans are undoubtedly the most important existence in this world. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But in the old man’s eyes, human capabilities seem negligible, almost insignificant compared to the heavens.

Such a view was naturally difficult for Lu Jiu to accept.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a scientist, just an ordinary practitioner of traditional medicine. Otherwise, why struggle? Might as well give up.

Retracting his thoughts, Lu Jiu practiced the Longevity Skill once, then washed up and rested.

Today’s experience had thoroughly exhausted him.

Especially his brain, which seemingly killed millions of brain cells.

...

The next morning, at six o’clock, Lu Jiu naturally awoke.

After resting for a night, Lu Jiu was fully revived.

Yesterday’s learning was already left behind.

Professionals should do professional work, his duty is to treat patients and relieve their suffering, other things should be left for others to explore.

Anyway, traditional Chinese medicine merely needs to study the ancestors’ knowledge; innovation essentially has nothing to do with him.

During school, he read many papers on both Chinese and Western medicine.

The most direct feeling was that Chinese medical papers have always been explaining the ancestors’ knowledge, while Western medical papers innovate daily.

Some practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine may not write more than a few papers in their lifetime because a lot of things have already been clearly stated by the ancestors. On the other hand, some Western medicine practitioners can produce over a hundred papers in a couple of years, with career advancement as quick as a rocket.

No choice, in the hospital system, one has to have papers to be evaluated for a position.

So, often for some rare diseases, there will be a lot of papers, as everyone is eager to get a share.

For example, heat stroke.

The term might be unfamiliar, but if referred to as severe heatstroke, it might be more familiar.

Why a new name for the same condition?

Who knows!

...

Lu’s Clinic.

A table, a chair, a person, a needle.

Lu Jiu’s three-pronged therapeutic method yielded remarkable results, attracting more people to his clinic.

Some people, knowing how good Lu Jiu’s diagnoses were, would come even if not sick, treating it like a checkup.

After all, getting a full body checkup at a hospital costs at least one to two thousand yuan.

At Lu Jiu’s, it costs fifty, and if there’s a condition, treatment might only cost a few dozen yuan more. Who couldn’t afford that!

It was precisely because of these people that Lu Jiu’s income steadily increased.

Because even just for a consultation, his diagnosis fee was fifty.

For people without major health issues, it usually took only a minute or two to finish.

Over the past few days, Lu Jiu roughly calculated that on the busiest day, he saw at least fifty or sixty people, most of whom had no major issues, and there were only three to five with complicated conditions.

Totaling fees, he earned over two thousand in a single day.

At this rate, his monthly gross could be fifty to sixty thousand, and annually he could earn a net profit of two hundred thousand easily.

This was because Lu Jiu did not charge high prices for medicine. If he priced them like hospitals, earning a million a year would be no problem.

Traditional Chinese medicine, a small clinic earning a million a year, would surely make others envious.

People say, fear not a brother enduring hardship, but fear a brother driving a Land Rover.

If relatives and friends feel this way, let alone colleagues.

Clinics, medical centers, these places have calculable profits, Lu Jiu already snatched a lot of business from other clinics, if your income is low, everyone can bear it as no one earns much. But if I fail to earn while you earn a full cup, can I tolerate it?

This is why after Li Daoqing’s clinic folded, Zhang Yuanming never worried about Lu Jiu’s clinic being busy.

For personal gain, you’re the same breed, but if you do good, even though my moral level isn’t so high, I wouldn’t go after such people.

As for Guan Wei on the same street, he cared even less, not disliking Lu Jiu from the start. After Li Daoqing’s clinic was gone, his clinic thrived, and during Lu Jiu’s rise, he was the most amicable, resulting in many people flocking to his clinic.

Now, throughout Garden Street, Lu Jiu has the most patients, with Guan Wei and Zhang Yuanming on par.

Everyone earns well, so they get along harmoniously.

Of course, the most unfortunate was still Li Daoqing.

Running a clinic for half a lifetime, gone just like that, anyone would feel bad.

But, aside from himself, who would care?

"Dr. Lu, it’s really hard to meet you now, haha."

In Lu’s Clinic, Wang Li laughed while looking at Lu Jiu.

He didn’t expect that just a week or two absence meant needing a queue number to see Lu Jiu, and a day’s wait at that.

"I’m always here, just so many people to see, nothing I can do." Lu Jiu responded with a wry smile.

"I understand, Dr. Lu, recently my back’s been hurting badly again, just like before, please treat me." Wang Li said as he adeptly moved to the small bed.

Lu Jiu nodded, suddenly glancing at the clock on the wall.

Eh?

It’s past three.

This is just in time for the Weizhong Acupoint opening.

Perhaps it’s time to try the Meridian Flow Acupoint Opening Technique.

Thinking this, Lu Jiu immediately took the needle, and walked to the small bed, rolling Wang Li’s trousers up to the thigh, then directly inserted a needle into his Weizhong Acupoint.

Then he began using the Mountain Burning Fire technique.

With both Yang Replenishing and Acupoint Opening, the qi of the Weizhong Acupoint was undoubtedly abundant to the utmost. Stimulating it at this time must surely be the best for unclogging the Bladder Meridian.

As Lu Jiu continued twisting, Wang Li suddenly felt a force rushing from his leg to his lower back. Not particularly strong, but noticeably different from before.

After more than ten minutes, that force grew stronger, like a warm current pushing at his lower back.

"Dr. Lu, it feels like there’s a hot water bottle on my back, warm, and it also feels like someone’s pressing on my waist..." Wang Li described his sensations.

Lu Jiu replied with a smile, "Try lifting your neck a bit, see if your waist can pull up your upper body now."

Hearing this, Wang Li carefully leaned his neck back, the muscles in his back instantly tightened, two major muscles on his back bulged as well, eh? Wang Li clearly felt that his waist didn’t hurt during this action and was stronger than after any previous therapy.

"This..."

Lu Jiu said with a smile, "It’s fine, you just try it, I’ll keep the needle for observation, and will remove it when the time is right. Just lie down for now."

Taking advantage of the Weizhong Acupoint opening time, Lu Jiu utilized it well.

"Dr. Lu, why does it feel so different this time, did you change the therapy method?" Wang Li asked.

"Same acupuncture and technique, but different timing results in different efficacy. It’s difficult to explain in a few words, you just need to know if it feels comfortable, leave the rest to me." Lu Jiu replied with a smile.

"Alright." Wang Li said with a smile.

Although Lu Jiu didn’t explain too much, those words eased Wang Li’s mind.

Especially after the cold sensation in the lower back was replaced by the warm current, Wang Li felt a whole revolutionary change in his overall condition.

As if coming back to life.

"Excuse me, are you Lu Jiu, Dr. Lu?"

Just as Lu Jiu was about to see the next patient, a woman suddenly appeared at the door.

She looked to be in her forties, judging from her dress and makeup, likely someone working in an office.

"What do you need?" Lu Jiu asked.

The woman immediately said, "Diabetes, can you treat it?"
