Chapter 407: Tackling the issue
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Specialist Chang’s brows furrowed. He was a little displeased but this situation had been caused by them and they weren’t able to resolve it at the mont, so he could only let this Chinese doctor resolve it. However, he didn’t have faith in the Chinese doctor.
Wang Li Li’s mother was very anxious at that mont. “Director Zhang, will she be okay?”
Director Zhang nodded. “This is Director Zhao Ming Qing from Shanghai’s First Chinese dical Academy. His dical abilities are superb. He’s at the pinnacle of the Chinese dicine world and he’s well-known in the nation’s Chinese dical scene.”
When the reporters heard this, they etched it into their mories. So of the reporters even started thinking of headlines to write.
‘The best of Chinese and Western dicine go head to head.’
ETC!
Madam Wang looked at Zhao Ming Qing, “Master Zhao, I’ll leave my daughter to you.”
Zhao Ming Qing nodded. “I need four n. Co here and hold her limbs down. Don’t let her move.
Very soon, four muscular n appeared and held down Wang Li Li’s limbs, pressing them down onto the bed so that she wouldn’t move. With Zhao Ming Qing’s dical ability, there was no need to remove her clothing. He had a firm understanding of the location of each acupuncture point.
He pressed onto Wang Li Li’s abdon through her clothing with one hand, then, he picked up a silver needle and aid it at the acupuncture point. According to his teacher’s instruction, he placed the needle into her body with great accuracy.
Specialist Chang didn’t quite believe in the effectiveness of acupuncture. In his eyes, things like acupuncture points in Chinese dicine were simply unproven by science. Although there were now nurous theses that verified the existence of acupuncture points, there was no concrete evidence. Hence, he scoffed at such thods of treatnt.
When Zhao Ming Qing pierced the needle into her skin, everyone held their breaths in as if waiting for a miracle to happen.
Zhao Ming Qing’s expression was stern. He didn’t dare to be careless. He knew the locations of these three acupuncture points but he didn’t know the relationship between them. However, he trusted his teacher and he knew his teacher was trying to teach him sothing.
The second needle went in. Wang Li Li evidently cald down. She was no longer in so much pain. This made everyone cry out in shock.
“Hey, it looks like it really was effective.”
“Yeah, just now, Wang Li Li was squirming in pain but now it seems like she’s no longer hurting.”
“How mystical. This is the first ti I’ve seen Chinese dicine’s acupuncture. I didn’t use to believe in it.”
Zhao Ming Qing began to put in the third needle. Wang Li Li, who had still been struggling a little, suddenly stopped completely. Her expression was calm once again as if the pain had disappeared.
After observing her for a mont, Zhao Ming Qing kept the unused needles.
“Director Zhao, why did those three seemingly normal needles make the patient’s pain go away? What kind of secret is hidden behind all this?”
Zhao Ming Qing had already received instructions from Lin fan. He said, “The patient consud porridge just now. Porridge is a great food that provides nutrients for people in weak states. However, this patient is suffering from severe anorexia and her stomach region has already atrophied long ago. With the stimulation of the porridge, the stomach becos like a balloon, leaking gas and contracting profusely. If this isn’t alleviated in ti, it might even cost her life.”
“Oh...” The reporters nodded. Suddenly, a reporter recalled sothing. “Master Lin talked about this issue just now too but Specialist Chang didn’t listen.”
“Yeah, Master Lin said that consuming porridge would be a problem. I never thought that it would really be true. Could it be that Master Lin knows Chinese dicine too?”
At that mont, Director Zhang looked at Master Lin, wondering how Master Lin had known this.
Specialist Chang’s expression was getting a little ugly. Especially after causing a problem in front of so many reporters and then having it resolved by a Chinese doctor, it made him very displeased.
At that mont, he explained himself, “Everyone, this kind of situation happens once in a while. We, the specialist group, wanted to see just how resistant the patient is towards food. We didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen. We have also obtained so accurate data and we’ve developed the early stages of our plan to treat her. Although the stomach contraction was resolved by this Director Zhao, we would’ve been able to tackle it quickly as well by checking her, finding the cause and administering the relevant dicine. Hence, it’s not that our Western dicine cannot solve the problem. Don’t you agree, Director Zhang?”
The reporters aid their caras at Director Zhang. Director Zhang had been put in a tough spot. He was basically being forced to agree. If he didn’t, he would be degrading Western dicine. Moreover, he didn’t know how the reporters would report what he said. He smiled and said, “What Specialist Chang said is true. Chinese and Western dicine should be used together. They each have their pros and cons. Therefore, there is nothing to compare. The patient’s condition has been stabilized. Next up, the specialist group will be discussing the next step in the treatnt. I believe it will have a positive outco.”
Lin Fan stood amongst the crowd and didn’t say anything. He wasn’t here this ti to scold anyone. He was really just here to look at the situation. It was only after seeing the situation that he could understand it.
Also, he understood that sufferers of severe anorexia had rather weak stomachs. Hence, when prescribing dicine, this had to be taken into account.
At that mont, Zhao Ming Qing saw his teacher’s eyes and then he nodded. Lin Fan was telling him to leave this place for the mont. He had sothing to tell him.
As of now, the patient’s condition had stabilized and there wouldn’t be any more news for the reporters to report. What happened before, to them, were already very big news topics.
Outside the hospital.
Zhao Ming Qing stood respectfully by Lin Fan’s side. Lin Fan asked casually, “Do you know what categories anorexia is divided into?”
Zhao Ming Qing nodded. “Teacher, according to my knowledge, there are three types of anorexia. The first is stagnation. Due to not consuming food for a long period of ti, one loses his or her appetite.”
“The second type is asthenia of the spleen. Due to the spleen being in a bad state, the asthenia occurs, causing symptoms of chest pain and vomiting.”
“The third type is a deficiency of Yin in the spleen and stomach. Due to consuming large amounts of spicy and hot foods, the Yin is affected, causing dry mouth and throat and imnse thirst. It will also cause one to slim down and beco jittery.”
“This has been a terrifying disease in recent years. It has many causes, such as extre dieting as well as psychological pressure and stress. It is a kind of psychological illness. Back in our ti, it was an inconceivable illness.” Zhao Ming Qing sighed.
Lin Fan smiled and said, “Of course. In the past, we didn’t even have enough to eat, how could we even think about dieting? But according to studies, severe cases of anorexia are mostly caused by extre dieting. As for those cases caused by stress, they mostly recover after receiving early treatnt.”
Zhao Ming Qing nodded. “Teacher, do we need to research about anorexia?”
Lin Fan replied, “Do you have any effective thods to treat anorexia?”
Zhao Ming Qing shook his head. “No, I can only prescribe dicine to support the patient and slowly nurse the patient. As for that patient that we saw just now, I’ve never seen soone in her condition. It is already much too severe.”
Lin Fan smiled. “Alright, you’ve been my disciple for a while now. This ti, with anorexia as the topic, we’ll begin our research to tackle it.”
Zhao Ming Qing was startled. He was stunned for a mont, then he asked, “Teacher, are you going to do research to tackle anorexia?”
When he said this, he was in disbelief.
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ming Qing and said, “What? Could it be that you think it’s not possible?”
Zhao Ming Qing imdiately shook his head and replied, “No, I believe Teacher will definitely have a solution.”
“Alright, let’s go to your academy. We’ll borrow your research room to conduct our research. During this ti, I’ll need you to accompany and put in so hard work,” said Lin Fan with a smile. He had an idea of the dications that should be used to treat anorexia but this wasn’t the ti to show off. Moreover, since Zhao Ming Qing had already beco his disciple, he decided to give it a try using Chinese dicine.
If he solved this problem imdiately just like that, it would be aningless and it wouldn’t be of any use to Zhao Ming Qing too.
