I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 266 - 233: Infighting Among the Five Viscera

Looking at Lu Jiu and the others' determined attitude.

Xie Yuguang understood.

There was really no saving his dad.

But...

Xie Yuguang bit his lip tightly, his eyes swelling with tears.

He had thought that the condition of the lady in the next bed was improving, so his dad could too.

However, now, the hope was shattered once more, and Xie Yuguang couldn't hold it together anymore.

An Xianda saw this forty-something-year-old man crying directly in front of everyone, and couldn't help but sigh.

He had seen too many scenes like this.

You can't say he's become numb; it's just that he's no longer as emotional as in his younger days.

After becoming a doctor, you have to gradually get used to the separation of life and death.

Looking at Xie Yuguang, Lu Jiu felt helpless.

He also really wanted to save him, but at this point, it was no longer a question of whether or not he could be saved.

A moment later, Xie Yuguang gathered his emotions, and without saying a word, pushed his dad out of the clinic.

Some waiting patients saw Xie Yuguang's expression and began to talk among themselves.

"What's wrong with that young man?"

"Seems like his dad got cancer."

"Didn't Dr. Lu treat some cancer cases a few days ago?"

"Not all can be treated; I heard from the doctor inside that his dad's condition is terminal and has been dragged on for too long."

"What a pity, you really can't wait with these illnesses."

"Actually, sometimes there's no choice; like when I had a headache and went to the hospital for a check-up, they couldn't figure out what was wrong, or my aunt, who had something in her breast, the hospital said it was too small for surgery, and she needed regular check-ups. I've wondered, why can't it be solved when it's small? They always wait for it to grow bigger for surgery, but when it's small, you can't operate, and there's no other way to get rid of it, the answer is, there isn't."

"Exactly, I really hate those regular check-ups; they're just depressing, and after each check-up, it feels like I'm getting sicker with no help from the hospital at all, making it hard for me to sleep or eat."

"So, there are some illnesses we don't want to drag out on our own, but nobody can solve them!"

"..."

...

The clinic returned to normal operations.

Patients continued to enter the clinic one by one.

Police on the street were coordinating traffic as best as they could, especially at school time between seven and eight o'clock, with a lot of vehicles on the road.

Inside the clinic, after writing a prescription for a patient, Lu Jiu called for the next one.

The patient looked not young, but his face seemed exceptionally red.

For some reason, Lu Jiu could immediately tell that this patient was very excited.

"How should I address you?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Haha, I'm from the same family as Dr. Lu; my name is Lu Hong," said Lu Hong.

"You look quite energetic; how old are you this year?" Lu Jiu said.

"Old already, seventy-six this year," Lu Hong said.

"Seventy-six? You really don't look it," Lu Jiu said.

From his demeanor, Lu Hong didn't look like someone in his seventies at all.

"What seems to be the problem?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Just some high blood pressure for over a year; although medication has helped relieve it, sometimes my heart still races for no reason, and my chest suddenly feels exceptionally painful. Recently, about three days ago, I suddenly couldn't see anything. Just as a friend recommended, I came here to see if Dr. Lu could help me out," Lu Hong chuckled.

Suddenly couldn't see anything?

"Please extend your hand, let me check your pulse first," Lu Jiu said.

Just from observation, Lu Jiu couldn't see the exact problem.

He felt Lu Hong's situation was quite unusual; a seventy-six-year-old with high blood pressure and such a spirit was strange!

After feeling the pulse, the voices of the Five Viscera rang out.

"Suppress it, Spleen Earth, Kidney Essence is too abundant, all the blood is stuck here, hurry up!" Liver Wood said.

"Already suppressing it, but it's too strong, I can't hold it!" Spleen Earth said.

"Even if you can't hold it, you have to, and you, Fei Jin, stop helping it," Liver Wood said.

"It doesn't need my help at all," Fei Jin said.

"Can you guys handle this or not? A little thing like this and you can't bear it? Seriously, a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled, please don't drag me down," Hydronephrosis said.

"Hey! What are you saying, who's old, weak, sick, and disabled? Just because you're strong doesn't mean we can't deal with you," Liver Wood said.

"Why are you yelling at me? I've given you so much blood to help nourish you, and now you're turning on me?" Hydronephrosis said.

"I don't need that much from you! And if you continue like this, Heart Fire won't be able to take it," Liver Wood said.

"What does it being unable to take it have to do with me?" Hydronephrosis said.

"You..." Liver Wood said.

"Argue, argue, argue, everyone be quiet!" Heart Fire said.

"Stop trying to give orders here; you can't even manage the little bit of Kidney Essence I gave, yet you still have the nerve to command us," Hydronephrosis said.

"Hah, what do you mean by that?" Heart Fire said.

"Nothing, just that you're not as good as my brothers," Hydronephrosis said.

"Whatever, we can all die anyway, keep messing around, I'll just watch!" Heart Fire said.

"Fine, my little essence vault is quite full anyway!" Hydronephrosis said.

?

What's the situation here?

It was the first time Lu Jiu had heard of such internal discord among the Five Viscera!

Previously, when patients were sick, the Five Viscera would gripe but were essentially reliant on each other.

But this old man's Five Viscera actually had begun to show hostility.

Especially this Hydronephrosis.

It was particularly unusual.

Lu Jiu could also feel from the pulse that this Hydronephrosis was abnormally strong.

Compared to the other Five Viscera, it was completely an oddity.

Because it was too strong, when transforming essence and blood, the amount of blood delivered to the liver was massive.

Although this could nurture the liver, the old man's liver function was no longer what it used to be, and the excess blood couldn't be stored, inevitably causing a blockage.

In other words, the enormous amount of blood passing through the liver not only didn't reach the heart but, because of its volume, got blocked there, with the liver unable to manage such an excess, preventing the heart from getting the blood transferred from the liver.

In fact, this is the principle of kidney counteracting the heart.

Water counteracts fire, the most important aspect being that when water becomes too strong, it generates too much wood.

Wood is like a tree; for it to grow well, the trunk must be adequately nourished, but if all nutrients go to the branches, the trunk will lose some, and naturally, the tree won't grow tall and strong.

Therefore, trees need to be pruned regularly to ensure the trunk is well-nourished.

It's the same in the human body; the reason for soothing the liver is precisely for this.

Right now, the Kidney Essence is too strong, causing an excessive blood volume around the liver, blocking the passages.

But, for a seventy-something-year-old, where does such a strong kidney come from?

Judging by the conversation among the Five Viscera, it was clear the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were all quite averse to this kidney.

Could it be... an organ transplant!?
