I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 340 - 149: Could It Be... Lu Xuan, Who Was Previously Sent to the Health Center by Liu Rong?

Chapter 340: Chapter 149: Could It Be... Lu Xuan, Who Was Previously Sent to the Health Center by Liu Rong?

The final type is the Qi inversion syndrome, clinically manifested by severe thoracic obstruction pain, recurring or persisting without relief, accompanied by palpitations and difficulty breathing. Initially, cyanosis of the lips occurs, followed by a sudden change to a pale complexion, profuse cold sweating, extremities reversing, mental fatigue, and in severe cases, confusion and stupor, with a purple tongue, and a deep, thready pulse.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan looked up at Ji Huan’s secretary: "Has Vice Mayor Ji been eating a lot of greasy foods lately? Like fatty meats or other foods rich in fats?"

Ji Huan’s secretary had been anxiously pacing back and forth. Being Ji Huan’s secretary meant that their fates were tied together; if something happened to Ji Huan, his work arrangements would be derailed.

It’s a case of "when the person leaves, the tea cools." If Ji Huan were gone, who would arrange work for him? Perhaps he would even be relegated to the secretary department and never get a chance to be utilized again—then, heaven and earth would not respond to his calls.

One could say that aside from Ji Huan’s family, he was the one most concerned about Ji Huan.

At that moment, when Lu Xuan suddenly inquired about Ji Huan, he was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened, looking at Lu Xuan in surprise: "Dr. Lu, how did you know?"

Jiang Shengliang addressed him directly as "you." He had been listening to what Zhou Qihua and the others were saying and didn’t underestimate Lu Xuan because of his youth. Instead, he became more attentive.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s question, he was immensely surprised and delighted.

Being able to deduce what Vice Mayor Ji had eaten recently was a skill; others hadn’t even inquired about what Ji Huan had eaten up till now.

In that moment, Jiang Shengliang became even more attentive: "Yes, yes, he has eaten, and even yesterday, today at noon, he ate quite a lot. Vice Mayor Ji wasn’t feeling well after he ate, but we didn’t think much of it at the time, and had no idea this would happen in the afternoon."

Jiang Shengliang said, sighing again.

There was a hint of self-blame, thinking that if he had persuaded him, maybe the afternoon’s incident wouldn’t have happened.

Lu Xuan seemed to sense Jiang Shengliang’s self-blame and comforted him: "Secretary Jiang, it actually doesn’t have much to do with what he ate these past few days; fatty meat was merely one of the triggers, not the key. Vice Mayor Ji’s body has long had issues, coupled with advanced age, making an acute heart attack a normal occurrence.

Even if today’s incident hadn’t happened, it would’ve happened in one or two months, so you don’t need to blame yourself, Secretary Jiang."

Jiang Shengliang gave Lu Xuan a grateful look, having already taken note of this young man.

So young, yet possessing not only excellent medical skills but also high people skills. Just after he heaved a sigh, Lu Xuan knew how to offer comfort, which is not a talent a young man in his twenties should have.

After knowing Ji Huan’s situation, Lu Xuan had a rough understanding of Ji Huan’s condition.

At nearly sixty, Ji Huan belongs to the high-age category; with prolonged deficiency of Kidney Yang below and internal injuries from exertion, coupled with eating greasy foods resulting in phlegm, dampness, and blood stasis blocking the chest, the disease classifies as severe true heart pain, with symptoms of Yang collapse presenting. To truly save him, harsh measures may be necessary.

Thinking of potent medicine, the first thing that came to Lu Xuan’s mind was Aconite. This time, it seems that Aconite is needed again, and in large quantities, but this time, using it might not be so easy.

He subconsciously glanced at the group with the corner of his eye, knowing these people, especially Zhang Jiwei and other Western doctors, would definitely prevent him from using such medication.

"Forget it, forget it, let’s use acupuncture to alleviate the pain first, buying this person some more time. We’ll talk about the future later."

Lu Xuan sighed, then took out an acupuncture needle from the needle box.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the acupuncture needle was heavily inserted into the Su Liao point.

The Su Liao point originates from "Suwen: The Qi Palace", also known as the face king, belongs to the Du meridian. It is located in the center of the nasal tip on the face, providing innervation by the external nasal branch of the anterior ethmoidal nerve (a branch of the ophthalmic nerve). It’s mainly used for nasal congestion, epistaxis, nasal discharge, nasal polyps, sinusitis, red nose, convulsions, coma, and newborn asphyxia.

Heavily needling the Su Liao point has functions of clearing heat, opening orifices, returning Yang, and reversing the pathology.

Then, another needle was heavily inserted into the left Zhongchong point.

The Zhongchong point belongs to the Pericardium meridian of the Hand Jueyin channel, located at the center tip of the middle finger’s distal segment on the hand.

The left Zhongchong point is at the tip of the left middle finger.

Needling has the ability to treat febrile diseases, irritability, lack of sweat, heat in the palms.

This is also why, after taking a blood sample from a child’s peripheral end, they might inexplicably have a fever reduction due to the heat-reducing function of bleeding from the peripheral ends, combined with the defervescence effect of heavy needling the Zhongchong point, naturally causing mysterious fever reduction.

However, heavy needling the left Zhongchong point not only offers these effects but also opens orifices to awaken the spirit, clears heart heat, and dredges meridians to relieve pain.

After inserting the acupuncture needle into the left Zhongchong point, Lu Xuan began the technique of lifting, thrusting, and twisting to obtain Qi according to the principle of "deficiency, reinforce it; excess, drain it," using the draining or neutral method for Qi stagnation and blood stasis and chest Yang obstruction type.

While Lu Xuan was performing acupuncture on Ji Huan, Huang Beishan and another had already prepared the medication, intending to have the nurse feed it to Ji Huan, but Jiang Shengliang stopped the nurse: "Let me do it."

The nurse paused for a moment, then Jiang Shengliang took the medication from the nurse’s hand, raised the bed slightly, and helped Ji Huan take the medicine.

After Ji Huan took the medicine, Jiang Shengliang gently lowered the bed again, then nervously stood aside, watching Lu Xuan perform acupuncture on Ji Huan.

Others, at this moment, dared not even breathe heavily, fearing their voices might affect Lu Xuan’s acupuncture treatment results. If that happened, even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t wash them clean. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Zhang Jiwei stared at Lu Xuan’s acupuncture technique, finding it a bit incomprehensible, and feeling some anger due to Lu Xuan’s earlier words. However, he also knew Lu Xuan was not just a young doctor but was regarded by Huang Beishan and others as the future pillar of Yong City’s traditional Chinese medicine and even the future leader of traditional Chinese medicine, not someone he could easily manipulate.

At this moment, Zhang Jiwei had mixed feelings, hoping Lu Xuan wouldn’t succeed, so that his earlier words wouldn’t equal to personally humiliating traditional Chinese medicine.

Yet, the person lying on the hospital bed waiting for rescue was Ji Huan, and if anything went wrong, he would be held accountable.

Amid the crowd, Xie Mingsong, having rushed over from the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, watched Lu Xuan’s back in slight perplexity.

Isn’t this... the Lu Xuan who was previously sent to the Health Center by Liu Rong?

Wasn’t he an intern at our hospital before?

How did he suddenly become so competent?

Xie Mingsong fell into deep confusion.
