"Lu Xuan, I’ve already called you godfather, if you don’t teach , I’ll have to fight you."
As Lu Xuan entered the Traditional Chinese dicine clinic, he could still faintly hear Ji Xiuwen’s shaless whispering.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Xuan sat down in the clinic.
He vaguely rembered that back in school, the two of them had joked that if one day soone wanted to learn their true skills, even calling them godfather would be acceptable. He didn’t expect Ji Xiuwen would really do it.
Though it was just a joke among friends, to so extent, it showed Ji Xiuwen’s eagerness to gain clinical experience.
If he didn’t really want to learn, even as a joke, Ji Xiuwen wouldn’t actually call him that.
"What happened outside?"
Su Kenan asked curiously.
There had been quite a commotion from the testing departnt earlier, but since she went to get dicine for a patient, and due to her mobility issues, she didn’t like getting into such things and didn’t stop to check it out.
However, faintly hearing many people praising Lu Xuan, she couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Xuan gave her a surprised look, considering Su Kenan’s character, it’s unlikely she would ask, no matter how curious.
Has the sun risen in the west today?
Lu Xuan instinctively turned back for a look; it rose in the east, which was perfectly normal!
"Nothing major, just a small child fell from the blood draw table, causing a concussion and coma. I perford acupuncture on the philtrum, and now she’s fine," Lu Xuan recounted calmly.
A gleam flashed in Su Kenan’s eyes, cured a concussion and coma with just acupuncture?
Although she hadn’t had much contact with acupuncture, she knew it was easy to learn but difficult to master.
In general, people can self-study at ho, and as long as they don’t poke patients and only practice on themselves, it’s not hard to learn from the simplest points that don’t harm the body.
But to use acupuncture to treat complex cases or ergencies is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
She had thought Lu Xuan was only skilled in internal dicine and orthopedics, but didn’t expect he could do acupuncture as well.
It’s well-known that such comprehensive Traditional Chinese dicine doctors are quite rare nowadays.
Most of them only specialize in one area.
Either they excel in internal dicine, which involves pulse diagnosis and prescription writing, or in orthopedic or acupuncture treatnts like cupping; not many are versatile.
In ancient tis, however, doctors were proficient in both internal dicine and orthopedics, as well as treatnts like acupuncture and cupping.
It’s conceivable how much Lu Xuan’s nearly omnipotent skills shocked her.
"It’s not as casual as he says. In such situations, even a TCM doctor proficient in acupuncture wouldn’t dare needle recklessly."
Just then, Ji Xiuwen walked in from the doorway, laughing, "This guy is skilled, yes, but also gutsy, daring to needle a two-year-old child with ease. If it were , I definitely wouldn’t dare."
After speaking, he gave Lu Xuan a aningful look, reminding him that he had promised and shouldn’t forget their agreent.
Lu Xuan rolled his eyes and turned to Su Kenan, "Kenan, continue calling the numbers."
Su Kenan earnestly executed Lu Xuan’s orders.
Ji Xiuwen wasn’t bothered, as he was determined to stick with Lu Xuan.
He had to master acupuncture.
Not to ntion, being skilled in acupuncture would make him valuable anywhere.
Even if he doesn’t work within the system or at a hospital, opening his clinic would be no problem.
While Ji Xiuwen pondered these things, the patient called was a very polite person who knocked before entering after Lu Xuan gestured.
"Dr. Lu."
Chen Yunyun greeted Lu Xuan politely before sitting down.
Lu Xuan glanced at her, already assessing her condition, but still politely inquired, "Ms. Chen, what seems to be the problem?"
"Dr. Lu, I’ve had vitiligo for many years. I’ve visited many hospitals, taken lots of dication, and applied many treatnts. I’ve spent a substantial amount, but my vitiligo hasn’t improved and is getting worse."
Chen Yunyun removed her sun-protective clothing, revealing white blotches on her arms.
Her skin lesions showed as local depignted patches, milky white, varying in size from 1-2 cm to a dozen centiters. The edges of the patches had clear boundaries, so with increased pignt, and so patches showed remnants of normal skin islands. Hair in the patches could also turn completely white, and mucosal areas might be affected.
Such a condition typically starts as one or a few hypopignted patches, with pignt not fully disappearing, thus indistinguishable from normal skin. It can also begin as pinpoint hypopignted spots, with lesions gradually enlarging and fully losing pignt, rging with normal skin noticeably.
The progression of skin lesions alternates between active and stable phases. So patients experience evident seasonality, with so having lesions confined to specific areas for extended periods, while others quickly spread over the entire body.
Chen Yunyun’s case wasn’t as severe, with spots mainly on her face and limbs, not affecting her whole body.
However, given the current rate of progression, it seems only a matter of ti before it spreads extensively.
For a woman, this can be a truly frightening scenario.
"I can cover the spots on my limbs with clothing, but those on my face; I really don’t know what to do. Whenever I go out, I get strange looks from people."
