"Have you heard? The Traditional Chinese dicine Clinic on Garden Street is blocked by patients."
"Blocked? Was there a dical accident?"
"No, it's because there are too many people looking for treatnt there. The patients and their families have all sward there. I heard there were several hundred people on the first day. The place was already quite crowded, and with so many people, it caused a traffic jam. It seems the governnt even sent several police officers to maintain order there every day."
"Wow, that's really exaggerated!"
"I heard about that Chinese dicine practitioner before. They say he's really skilled. Even several directors from our hospital went to see him."
"It's more than just skilled. Haven't you seen the TV program? That Lu Jiu even cured a stroke-induced paralysis."
"What!? Cured paralysis? To what extent?"
"I saw in the video that the person could already move on the bed. Before the treatnt, they couldn't even move a finger."
"No wonder people from other departnts say several of their patients have left. They must be going to see that Lu Jiu."
"Hey, can he treat gynecological diseases?"
"I think Chinese dicine doesn't differentiate by specialization. Why don't you give it a try?"
"I think it's best not to go right now. There are too many people at his clinic these days. You wouldn't even be able to get in line. It's better to wait a while."
"..."
...
Lu's Clinic.
"Lu Jiu, there's soone with stroke-induced paralysis looking for you."
...
"Lu Jiu, another paralysis case for you."
...
"Lu Jiu..."
Every day, hundreds of people co for treatnt, with more than a dozen being stroke-induced paralysis cases.
There are also so serious and complex cases, but aside from these complicated patients, most are minor yet stubborn ailnts, like being overly sensitive to cold and heat, caused by insufficient Righteous Qi, which have been especially nurous recently.
Recently, Lu Jiu has mostly been seeing paralysis patients. On one hand, because these patients specifically seek him out, and on the other hand, because Lu Jiu's effectiveness in treating paralysis is stronger than people like An Xianda.
After all, to achieve an effect on paralysis, using only acupuncture or only Chinese dicine clearly has limitations. If one can use both acupuncture and Chinese dicine, the results are incomparable.
So, whenever a paralysis patient cos, Lu Jiu is the one who takes over, and his place has virtually beco a specialized center for paralysis.
However, the problem is that there are too few beds in the clinic. Many paralysis patients need to undergo a period of maintained needle therapy after acupuncture. If there were enough beds, Lu Jiu could treat several more people, but with only two beds, his pace has to be slower.
"Dr. Lu, can my dad recover like the people on TV?"
Standing beside Lu Jiu, Nie Wenzhang looked at his father anxiously.
Before coming to Lu Jiu, they had already undergone more than a year of treatnt in the hospital.
Unfortunately, during that year, his father did not show any improvent.
"Your father's illness is in the ridians, much less severe than that of the patient. Don't worry, there will be very noticeable results within a week," said Lu Jiu.
Stroke-induced paralysis can be categorized into mild and severe cases, with mild cases involving the ridians and having a shallower location, while severe cases involve the viscera and have a deeper location.
Whether it is mild or severe can be determined by the patient's consciousness.
Simply put, it depends on whether the patient still has independent awareness.
If the patient can't speak but still perceives the external world and understands what family mbers say, it ans the illness is in the ridians and is treatable.
But if they can no longer understand family mbers and seem dented, the illness is in the viscera, which is very serious.
Nie Wenzhang's father, although unable to speak now, clearly still has consciousness in his eyes and reacts to external information. This indicates that his paralysis is still being relatively well-controlled.
Although the illness is not cured, not worsening is a blessing in disguise.
"A week?" Nie Wenzhang was thrilled.
Lu Jiu quickly added, "It's just a noticeable effect, don't think you'll be walking within a week."
Having treated so many paralysis cases lately, Lu Jiu has beco very experienced with this illness, and with his ability to coordinate the Five Viscera to target the disease, he can give patients a fairly precise estimate of recovery ti.
However, while giving patients and their families confidence, Lu Jiu, as always, refrains from making overly optimistic claims.
"If there's progress, I'll be imnsely grateful. I wouldn't dare hope to be walking again in a week. With Dr. Lu's words, I can finally get a good night's sleep. The pressure has been imnse this past year," said Nie Wenzhang, his eyes revealing exhaustion.
As the only child in his family, after getting married, his wife temporarily lost her source of inco to care for their child.
Not wanting to hire a nanny, his mother helped take care of the child. However, after his father's paralysis, the family not only lost an economic pillar but also gained a bottomless pit.
Nie Wenzhang had to earn a living while worrying about dical expenses.
At the age of thirty, he had already accumulated a fair amount of gray hair.
He thought life would continue like this with difficulty, but unexpectedly, while scrolling through his phone, he ca across a local TV program.
Presumably thanks to big data, he saw sothing about Lu Jiu's clinic.
Upon learning that there was a local doctor who could treat paralysis, Nie Wenzhang eagerly pushed his father's wheelchair to the clinic.
Now, hearing from Lu Jiu that results could be seen in a week, Nie Wenzhang finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
"Young man, do you feel like there's hope in life again? Ha ha ha, I'm just like you. My wife has been paralyzed for over a year, but her condition is worse than your father's. She can't even understand my words anymore. This is the fourth day I'm having Dr. Lu treat her. Look, when I wave my hand in front of her, her eyes follow my hand. This was unimaginable before. I'm now just hoping Dr. Lu can get my wife to understand what I say. I'd be satisfied with that. If he could help her stand again, eh, I'd definitely set up a shrine for Dr. Lu," said an older man nearby, chiming in appropriately.
"Hahaha..."
The others in the clinic couldn't help but laugh at these words.
"Uncle Ma, no need for a shrine. I plan to live a long life!" Lu Jiu replied, half-crying, half-laughing.
"Hehe, just kidding," Uncle Ma grinned.
The atmosphere in the clinic was lively, completely devoid of any oppressive feelings.
Especially after seeing Lu Jiu treating paralysis patients with acupuncture and then finding ti to treat other patients with impressive results, people were not only amazed but also developed trendous trust in Lu Jiu.
It felt like as long as Lu Jiu took action, any illness could be cured.
As a result, the fear in their hearts about their own illnesses diminished sowhat.
That's precisely the effect Lu Jiu wanted. As long as the patients weren't afraid, most chronic illnesses could be turned around with his treatnt.
Of course, Lu Jiu alone, even with this effect, would be significantly limited.
However, An Xianda and other older colleagues have recently treated quite a few patients.
Though their acupuncture skills may not be on par with Lu Jiu's, they are just as skilled in prescribing treatnts.
Even if the illness reaches Jueyin, they can still diagnose and treat to so extent.
After all, being students of Huang Fusheng, such a National Master of Chinese dicine, and having delved into Chinese dicine for over twenty years, they possess significant expertise.
This is why the influence of Lu's Clinic continues to expand...
