I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 169 - 79: Dr. Lu, Stay in Our Obstetrics Department

Moreover, even if it were brought in, you cannot record videos. This is a serious violation of discipline and regulations.

At that time, it's not as simple as losing your job; in severe cases, you might even have to bear criminal responsibility.

After completing the operation on the Hegu Acupoint of both hands, Lu Xuan did not remove the acupuncture needle.

Acupuncture is not just about inserting needles a couple of times and it's done; the needles must remain for at least half an hour before they can be removed. Otherwise, solely relying on the technique of reinforcing and reducing would not achieve significant effects.

Lu Xuan walked to the feet of the expectant mother, found the Sanyinjiao located slightly above the left ankle, and once again used the acupuncture technique of reinforcing. He then moved to the right side to repeat the procedure. After all four acupoints were left with needles, Lu Xuan glanced at the expectant mother, "The needles need to remain for at least half an hour, try not to move if you can."

Although the woman was about to give birth, she was only in her twenties and had married young. At this time, she was twenty-six or twenty-seven, not much older than Lu Xuan. Seeing Lu Xuan standing at her feet and looking at her current position, she couldn't help but blush and nodded.

No matter how tough a girl is, there are times when she gets shy.

Seeing that the patient understood, Lu Xuan did not linger any longer. He went to the side and said to Song Xiaoyun and others, "Acupuncture can sometimes have miraculous effects on symptoms like obstructed labor, but I cannot guarantee it. We'll have to see the situation after removing the needles."

Half an hour…

To be honest, if it weren't for Wu Liguo's complete confidence in Lu Xuan, she would indeed feel uneasy. Who knows what might happen in half an hour? If something really goes wrong, her career as an obstetrician-gynecologist's department head would basically be over. It would be a serious medical accident.

For a moment, Song Xiaoyun almost wanted to step up and suggest using forceps-assisted delivery.

But considering the stubborn nature of the young girl, she thought better of it.

However, even so, Song Xiaoyun instructed several medical staff in the delivery room, "Closely monitor the condition of the expectant mother's body, and immediately report any emergencies."

After saying that, she turned to Lu Xuan, "Dr. Lu, I have to trouble you this time."

"However, I have a doubt."

"Please go ahead, Director Song."

Song Xiaoyun glanced at the needles still in the young girl's hands and feet, pondering as she said, "I actually don't understand traditional Chinese medicine, and there's no one around me who studies it, so I'm completely clueless. I'm just curious, you could say even puzzled, how can a few needles help this young girl achieve natural labor in a situation of weak uterine contractions, without using forceps?"

"This cannot be guaranteed, I believe Director Song understands that," Lu Xuan replied.

Song Xiaoyun nodded. For any illness, even a minor cold, no doctor dares to say the word 'certain.' That's the way to block one's path completely.

It's not about making vague statements to shirk responsibility, but because the human body is an amazing circulatory system. Whatever problems arise within, neither traditional nor modern medicine can completely understand them. There are always some oversights or undetectable places.

Because of this, treating illnesses cannot be guaranteed.

Lu Xuan's words made sense to her.

However, Song Xiaoyun could hear Lu Xuan's confidence, even if he phrased it cautiously.

"However, acupuncture indeed has its advantages in clinical treatment of acute conditions. It is effective for more than 300 diseases, among which acupuncture treatment for over 100 results in quite good outcomes.

Its treatment range spans various departments, particularly with some significant advantages for acute infectious diseases and febrile conditions."

Pausing here, Lu Xuan exemplified, "For instance, bacterial dysentery, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, scarlet fever, encephalitis B, influenza, epidemic mumps, high fever convulsions, etc., acupuncture has a certain effect.

Furthermore, numerous clinical experiments indicate that acupuncture can enhance various immune functions of the body, illustrating that acupuncture has a broad range for treating acute infectious diseases.

Acupuncture also has certain efficacies on disorders caused by physical and chemical, biological factors, nutritional and anaphylactic diseases, for example, leukopenia caused by radiotherapy in Western medicine, various poisoning and allergic reactions, even multiple neuritis due to nutritional deficiency, gout, acute rheumatic arthritis, etc., all can be well-treated with acupuncture…

Moreover, for some nervous system diseases, acupuncture also has remarkable effects, such as coma, aphasia, acute convulsions, cerebrovascular disease, erythromelalgia, and so on."

"I can vouch for this, acupuncture is very effective for stroke-related comas and even hemiplegia," said Wu Liguo, who had been silent until this point.

He had witnessed it with his own eyes, watching the entire process onsite, thus he had a substantial say in the matter.

Although Song Xiaoyun might not entirely trust what Lu Xuan said, considering she didn't know Lu Xuan well and was clueless about traditional Chinese medicine, Wu Liguo's words forced Song Xiaoyun to face one fact seriously.

Lu Xuan had been invited by Ye Xiang to perform a Flying Knife, and there was a reason for it.

If he had no capabilities, Ye Xiang, as the director of the neurology department, would not randomly invite such a young person to treat the patients under his care.

Frankly speaking, although it is true that Lu Xuan is treating the patients, if something goes wrong, the primary responsibility would fall on Ye Xiang, rather than Lu Xuan.
