I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 303 - 269: The Lung Tumor Has Shrunk
"Is this our hospital?"
Huang Fusheng looked at the crowded lobby, incredulously turning to Shen Congwei.
He remembered the hospital had only been open for a little over two months, so how did it suddenly attract so many patients to come for treatment?
As they walked around, they noticed that every clinic room in every department was full. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Especially the Medicinal Diet department, it was so crowded that Huang Fusheng wondered if this was a hospital or a restaurant on the street.
Over a dozen tables were almost completely filled, and there were even people standing by to eat.
Such a bustling scene truly gave Huang Fusheng and Shen Congwei a small surprise.
"It seems Lu Jiu is quite flexible in his thinking. I didn't expect the Medicinal Diet department to become so popular in such a short time," Shen Congwei laughed.
When he first saw the new regulations, he was indeed impressed.
They were all familiar with medicinal diets, but hospitals had never ventured into this field.
It was basically left entirely to the health industry.
Yet, due to the high professionalism of medicinal diets, the ones made by the health industry actually had no therapeutic value.
If a hospital, especially a TCM hospital, incorporated this field into their services, it would truly be an unbeatable existence.
Diagnostic dietary therapy could be fully integrated, not only reassuring patients but also providing them with one-stop service.
No matter from which perspective, this was a very bold attempt.
Now, with the success of this experiment, the two of them were naturally quite happy.
"Old Shen, looks like we bet on the right horse!" Huang Fusheng grinned.
"Indeed, at this rate, Lu Jiu TCM Hospital might soon surpass Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine," said Shen Congwei.
"Isn't that a given? My students are all here, and the doctors from your hospital are all here too. If such a lineup can't outdo a city-level TCM hospital, we might as well not have set up this pilot hospital. It's just that neither of us expected it to be this fast!" said Huang Fusheng.
From the day the hospital started to be built, he was never worried about a lack of patients, only that this model might not sustain itself.
But with some of Lu Jiu's special profit-making methods, this concern no longer existed.
Especially now, seeing such a booming scene, Huang Fusheng felt that the pilot hospital model seemed to have already taken shape.
"Let's go find Lu Jiu for a chat," Shen Congwei smiled.
The two then left the Medicinal Diet department and went to the Department of Complex Diseases.
At this moment, the clinic room was fairly crowded, with a patient sitting in front of Lu Jiu, who was holding two X-rays and a diagnostic report.
The two chose not to disturb Lu Jiu but slowly approached to watch him at work.
"This X-ray was taken last week?" Lu Jiu asked.
Shi Zixiong laughed, "Yes, recently I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up with my wife when I happened to run into the doctor who treated my mom back then. He chatted with me for a bit and, after learning that my mom is doing well now, was eager to see her."
"Because he knows her condition best, back then, he thought there was basically no hope for treatment, so after hearing from me about her good recovery, he kept wanting me to bring her for a check-up."
"I also really wanted to know how she's doing, so I couldn't resist and took her for a check-up. After the X-ray came out, the doctor, no, their entire department was dumbfounded, especially when they took out the old X-ray for comparison. They found that the lung tumor not only hadn't gotten bigger but had actually shrunk a bit. Although the shrinkage wasn't very noticeable, the fact that the cancer cells hadn't worsened was beyond their expectations."
"Based on their previous assessment, my mom was unlikely to survive three months. But it's been over half a year now, not only is she alive, but her condition is improving. They wanted her to stay, hoping for more observation, but I refused. I still want her to continue treatment with Dr. Lu."
Lu Jiu was also seeing an X-ray with a shrinking tumor for the first time, and indeed, seeing it makes quite an impact.
From the system prompt, Lu Jiu could see that Rao He's lung mass recovery degree had reached 2.32%.
This level is certainly far from enough, but from the images, you could indeed see signs of the tumor's edges shrinking.
No wonder the hospital Shi Zixiong mentioned wanted to keep his mom for observation, as the situation of a tumor reducing is something any hospital would find of great research value.
If she were really kept in the hospital and the long-term treatment was disrupted, disturbing the lifestyle rhythm she had developed, it would surely impact recovery.
Luckily, Shi Zixiong was calm enough and didn't waver.
However, when others heard Shi Zixiong's words, they were a bit surprised.
Many people who come here know Lu Jiu very well.
They are well aware he can treat cancer.
But unfortunately, they have never seen it; they only often hear others mention it.
Now, seeing someone come with an X-ray and clearly state that under Lu Jiu's treatment, the tumor shrank.
This made them all the more convinced.
After all, the X-rays weren't from this hospital, and judging by Shi Zixiong's accent, he was clearly from the north.
If an out-of-towner comes all the way to see Lu Jiu for lung cancer treatment, and it's cured, then there is certainly more hope for their illnesses.
Huang Fusheng and the others were also particularly shocked, especially Huang Fusheng, who had a thorough understanding of lung cancer and knew how difficult it was to treat in its late stages.
Just ensuring a patient could live with cancer, preventing further deterioration, was already challenging. Reducing cancer cells and shrinking the tumor was tremendously difficult; even Huang Fusheng wasn't confident about it.
But now, Lu Jiu actually managed it.
This made Huang Fusheng even more curious about the X-rays in Lu Jiu's hands.
"In the future, this type of check-up can be done once a year. Doing it too frequently is not very meaningful," Lu Jiu said.
Even though he could intervene in the cold and dampness through the Five Viscera, the process was clearly quite long, possibly only recovering a few percentage points in a year.
This level of improvement, shown in images, wouldn't be particularly noticeable.
Currently, doing too many check-ups for Rao He wasn't very meaningful.
At most, it would just improve the mood.
Therefore, Lu Jiu didn't oppose Shi Zixiong taking his mom for a check-up, but frequent checks weren't necessary.
"Hmm, Dr. Lu, by the way, the medicine you gave us last time is almost finished. Should I get some more?" asked Shi Zixiong.
Lu Jiu nodded, "Your mother's Spleen and Stomach should have mostly recovered. When all the medicine is finished, I'll change her prescription, but for these days, she should continue with Acupuncture."
"Okay." Having said that, Shi Zixiong glanced at Rao He, "Mom, lie down."
Rao He nodded and then walked to the small bed.
Lu Jiu then took out the finest needle, preparing to perform Acupuncture treatment for Rao He.
At this moment, he also noticed Huang Fusheng and Shen Congwei had entered his clinic room.
"Teacher, Principal," Lu Jiu greeted them with a smile.
Shen Congwei laughed, "We should have been seeing patients too, but with things being so busy, we couldn't manage. How's it going, busy?"
"Not too bad, it's much easier than when I was in the clinic," Lu Jiu laughed.
"Kid, go ahead and treat the patient, I'll take a look at the X-rays..." Huang Fusheng went straight over and picked up the two X-rays from Lu Jiu's desk.
Shen Congwei also leaned in at this point.
Sure enough, when the two X-rays were overlaid, the imaging around the tumor showed a distinct change.
The new X-ray was indeed slightly smaller than the previous one. Although visually, the size change was minimal, smaller was still smaller, and that's a fact.
Good gracious!
Unknowingly, Lu Jiu's medical skill had reached this level.
Now, even they didn't dare to underestimate Lu Jiu!
At just over twenty years old, with this level of proficiency, they couldn't imagine what further growth would bring.
