Seeing that everyone around held Lu Jiu in high esteem.
Xie Yuguang also kindled a glimr of hope.
After waiting for more than an hour, as the sky was getting light, Lu Jiu rode over on a small electric scooter and, amidst the calls of the crowd, imdiately opened the door of the dical clinic.
Soon, after Lu Jiu finished his preparations, today's consultations began.
Over the past couple of months, Lu Jiu had gradually gotten used to the busy routine of seeing patients.
Honestly, with more people, the work indeed beca quite tiring.
The main reason was that the illnesses of the patients were all sorts of strange, which was ntally exhausting just to diagnose, let alone Lu Jiu was seeing patients all day long.
If it weren't for An Xianda and others who ca to help, alleviating a lot of pressure for him, he wouldn't have dared to advance the consultation ti by another hour.
"Co on."
Lu Jiu looked at the brother at the front of the line and smiled gently.
The brother imdiately stepped forward, "Dr. Lu, have you had breakfast yet?"
"I have," Lu Jiu replied with a smile, "where are you feeling unwell?"
He Liwei smiled bitterly, "I'm not really sure, it's just an inexplicably feverish discomfort."
Lu Jiu said, "Alright, then extend your hand."
He Liwei stretched out his hand.
Lu Jiu imdiately took his pulse.
After a few seconds, Lu Jiu fixed his eyes on He Liwei, "Open your mouth, stick out your tongue."
Ah~~
He Liwei stuck out his tongue.
His tongue was covered in white streaks, resembling the stripes on a white tiger.
"Do you feel thirsty?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Very thirsty, I drink two big jugs of water a day and it's still not enough," He Liwei replied.
"Do you feel especially hot every day, with your hands and feet always sweating from heat?" Lu Jiu inquired.
"Yes, yes, it feels like being roasted by fire," He Liwei said.
"Does your throat hurt?" Lu Jiu asked.
"It does," He Liwei affird.
"Do you experience night sweats, where you wake up to find yourself all sticky, but once awake, you stop sweating?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Exactly, Dr. Lu, what illness do I have?" He Liwei felt that every word Lu Jiu said was particularly accurate.
Lu Jiu looked at He Liwei strangely, "In this month, have you been to any unregulated places? Or been in contact with won working in unregulated industries?"
Um...
He Liwei's expression froze.
What does this an?
Could it be...
An image of that woman flashed through He Liwei's mind.
His pupils contracted suddenly, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
The next mont, he gritted his teeth and said softly, "Dr. Lu, could I have... AIDS?"
Seeing his frightened expression, Lu Jiu didn't mock him, "Following Western dical standards, it is indeed AIDS. Has your body developed rashes? Have you been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit lately? Do your joints ache inexplicably?"
Lu Jiu's words completely quashed any last bit of unrealistic hope in He Liwei.
He fearfully grabbed Lu Jiu's hand, "Dr. Lu, what do I do? I... it was just that one ti, damn it, that woman deserves to die! I obviously used protection... Dr. Lu, you must help , I don't want to die."
He actually went!
Seeing He Liwei displaying all the signs of heat syndro, Lu Jiu had already confird that he had AIDS. He just didn't have the leisure to ask every patient about their Five Viscera.
Thus, Lu Jiu could only speculate about how He Liwei contracted this disease.
After all, for this disease, in the absence of blood transfusion, a man could be infected only in two ways.
Either he got it from a woman or a man.
"Don't worry, you won't die from AIDS, no need to be nervous," Lu Jiu said.
Regarding the act of soliciting prostitutes, Lu Jiu, not being a legal worker, was naturally unable to judge him.
And for such behavior, even the law wouldn't sentence him to death.
Thus, Lu Jiu could only morally condemn him; the illness still needed to be treated.
"Not die?" He Liwei looked at Lu Jiu in confusion, "But hasn't it been said that AIDS is a terminal illness, with no cure at all?"
Lu Jiu smiled, "Traditional Chinese dicine can still treat it. I'll first prescribe you a dose of White Tiger Decoction; once you've taken it, if the heat syndro dissipates and you no longer have sudden fevers, the illness will naturally be half-cured."
"Rest assured, even late-stage AIDS has treatnt possibilities, let alone your early symptoms. There's no need to panic, but you must pay more attention to sexual matters in the future. Excessive indulgence is very harmful to the body; kidney deficiency is more concerning than AIDS."
"Additionally, I strongly disapprove of this behavior of yours. This is your first ti, so I'll treat you, but if there is a next ti and you get this illness again, don't co looking for , understand?"
He Liwei nodded repeatedly, "I promise, I guarantee there won't be a next ti."
Although Lu Jiu said that AIDS is not fatal, as soone who had been long indoctrinated, He Liwei's fear of AIDS still lingered, sothing Lu Jiu couldn't dispel with just a few words.
However, that might also be for the best, after this experience, He Liwei probably wouldn't dare to fool around recklessly again.
Lu Jiu then grabbed a portion of White Tiger Decoction from the dicine cabinet. After giving it to He Liwei, he imdiately scanned the code to pay and left with the Chinese dicine.
It was evident he wanted to take the dicine quickly, fearing that delaying it would worsen his condition.
anwhile, An Xianda and others also arrived at the clinic to help Lu Jiu.
With their assistance, the consultation speed increased a bit.
"Next one." Zuo Quan started calling the numbers.
Xie Yuguang then pushed his father into the clinic.
"Excuse , I'm looking for Dr. Lu."
Zuo Quan asked, "What illness? I can handle minor conditions just the sa."
Xie Yuguang said, "My father, late-stage liver cancer."
Zuo Quan imdiately extended his hand, "Please."
At that mont, Lu Jiu had just finished attending to the current patient.
Seeing another late-stage liver cancer patient, Lu Jiu wasn't particularly surprised.
"From the hospital?" Lu Jiu inquired.
Xie Yuguang nodded, "Yes."
Lu Jiu didn't bother asking about surgery and radiotherapy, knowing it would be pointless.
Just as he was about to take the pulse, Lu Jiu scrutinized the elderly man in the wheelchair.
Strange, why did his complexion look so off?
Lu Jiu noticed that the old man's face was lackluster, and his breathing was particularly peculiar, like he was only exhaling not inhaling.
Could it be...
"Put your hand up, I'll take your pulse first." Lu Jiu had a particularly bad feeling.
Xie Yuguang imdiately lifted his father's hand onto the table.
Lu Jiu imdiately checked the pulse at the inch, gate, and cubit positions.
"No, the stomach has no qi left, and food just doesn't go down. Without food, how am I supposed to tabolize? You want qi and blood, I do too, but who's going to take care of the stomach?" Spleen Earth said.
"I feel there's less and less blood, it can't sustain my normal functioning. This cold, damp evil energy has already made it unbearable, and there are no nutrients to supply us, it's over." Liver Wood said.
"There's also less qi, and it's very weak; I can't ventilate and descend properly," Fei Jin said.
"Don't ntion qi and blood, my essence reserve is gone. Like this, there's no point in living," Hydronephrosis said.
"Heart Fire, you say sothing, what do we do now!?" Spleen Earth said.
"I'm tired, let it all end," Heart Fire said.
...
This...
Lu Jiu felt the faint pulse and observed the dialogue among the Five Viscera.
He couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Gastric Qi already exhausted, Hydronephrosis completely depleted, this is a sign of impending death!
