I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 138 - 113: Breaking with Tradition Again?

Lu’s Clinic.

Lu Jiu found it a bit strange that several doctors and nurses from hospitals had recently come to him for treatment.

They all acted very warmly, as if they had known him for a long time.

These people did have some minor ailments, but adjusting them wasn’t complicated, although a complete cure was quite difficult.

Because almost all of them had occupational diseases, especially the nurses, their cold constitutions left Lu Jiu feeling quite helpless.

Lu Jiu understood the hospital environment—even if you’re very healthy, after spending seven or eight years there, your body would accumulate a lot of cold and dampness.

Why?

Because aside from a few months of moderate weather, the air conditioning in hospitals almost never stops, and whenever there’s an operation, the temperature in the operating room is extremely low.

After all, it’s a sealed environment, and every patient brings in a lot of bacteria, so a constant temperature environment is artificially created to inhibit bacterial growth.

This temperature is usually set relatively low because, according to Western medicine theories, bacteria proliferate more slowly in cooler conditions.

However, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, nurses who enter these places regularly and work night shifts infrequently see the sun and spend all day in a cold space. If their constitutions weren’t cold, it could only be attributed to exceptionally strong body constitutions.

If Lu Jiu were to advise them, he could only suggest they change careers, but is that possible?

Obviously, that’s unrealistic. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

So Lu Jiu never mentioned it and just advised them to be more mindful of their diet, to eat less cold foods, and to be more active in their spare time.

And these visits from doctors of large hospitals brought a surge in popularity to Lu Jiu’s clinic.

Originally, Lu Jiu’s skills were impressive, and once some patients were cured, they wouldn’t return soon, and there weren’t many who would refer acquaintances to him. He was seeing a slight decrease in patients and was thinking he could take a breather and perhaps take a vacation.

But after these doctors came, somehow their visits ended up on the local video platform, giving Lu Jiu an "official endorsement." Many people who had watched Lu Jiu’s viral videos but remained skeptical finally had no more doubts.

When even doctors from big hospitals come to see Lu Jiu, isn’t the choice clear?

This group who initiated it all were boasting about it within their departments, completely unaware.

"Hey, that Lu Jiu is pretty good! I’d been feeling dizzy and nauseous for a month, and even after several cervical traction sessions, the effects were just average. But after he stuck a few needles in me, I felt different right away! Today, no problems at all."

"He really is amazing! I always felt cold before my period, especially in autumn and winter, and my hands and feet were cold as ice. But after he gave me acupuncture twice recently, my hands and feet warmed up immediately, and yesterday I had no menstrual pain at all."

"I’m with you! That Dr. Lu even taught me how to do moxibustion on myself. He said that once I learned it, I could adjust my period at home and wouldn’t need to go to him."

"He taught that? Then who would go to him? What’s the point?"

"Who knows? Maybe some people just aren’t interested in money. I noticed his fees are low, and with the recent spike in Chinese medicine prices, I feel he’s losing money on prescriptions."

"He’s so skilled at such a young age. If he charged more, he could definitely own a house and car in Jianghan and have a considerable savings. I swear, if I were ten years younger, I’d absolutely chase after him."

"Save your breath. From what I see, the only one worthy of him might be Dr. Lin from our hospital’s neurology department. Although she’s a bit older at twenty-eight, she’s beautiful and has a great figure. Forget men, even I like her."

"Hehe, Sister Li, thinking of matchmaking?"

"Of course! Playing matchmaker is what I’ve always done. Being a nurse is just my side job. Out of more than a dozen successful matchmakings here at the hospital, I’ve been responsible for seventy percent. I’m the queen of matchmakers."

"Hahaha."

"Hey, what are you all chatting about, laughing so happily?"

"Director Feng."

"Hello, Director Feng."

"Director Feng, we’re talking about that Chinese doctor named Lu Jiu."

"Lu Jiu?"

Feng Yuan knew this name, and he had heard it more than once.

A few days ago, he met Wang Kun and noticed the cyst on his nose was gone, so he asked about it, and Wang Kun briefly mentioned Lu Jiu.

"Director Feng, don’t you have arthritis? Why not go see this Lu Jiu? We’ve all visited him recently, and it’s really effective."

"Yes, Director Feng, although your condition can be controlled with medication, we all know that the side effects of long-term medication accumulate. Who knows what other conditions you might get down the road, but if a traditional Chinese doctor can treat it without medicine, that’s for the best."

"Exactly, but Director Feng, it’s really hard to get an appointment with him. You might have to get up super early."

"..."

The crowd coaxed Feng Yuan into having a bit of interest.

He had been struggling with rheumatoid arthritis for years. With current medical methods, they could only relieve his symptoms and prevent joint deformity or even disability.

Complete cure seems almost impossible.

Feng Yuan didn’t believe they claimed Lu Jiu could cure it. If such a disease could be conquered by a young Chinese medicine doctor, it would cause a national sensation.

But there seemed to be no harm in just giving it a try.
