I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 286 - 252: Girls’ Obsession with Beauty

Before long, Li Lanyu received the prescription Lan Mei had given her.

The three of them successfully collected their medication from the pharmacy.

At the same time, the three of them arrived at the department for difficult and complicated diseases that Lan Mei mentioned.

But before they could enter, they saw that there were already seven or eight people gathered inside the consultation room.

"Wow! He stood up, he actually stood up!"

"Amazing, he came in a wheelchair, and after just a couple of needles, he can stand up?"

"Dr. Lu is truly miraculous!"

"..."

What a lively scene.

Qiao Ling and the other two couldn't help but squeeze in.

In front of Lu Jiu, there was a teen boy, slowly walking back and forth.

A few needles were still inserted in his left arm.

"Dr. Lu, thank you, really, thank you so much." The middle-aged man kept bowing to Lu Jiu, looking like he was the boy's father.

Lu Jiu waved his hand, "No worries, it's a minor issue, but you must be careful in the future. Your son's left leg had part of the bone removed and is now fitted with a prosthesis. His right leg will definitely have pain in the same area later on, remember to come for acupuncture then."

"At the moment, I can only relieve the pain so it doesn't get to the point where he can't walk. Anything more than that, I can't help."

Actually, this child was experiencing pathological conduction.

Many people have had similar experiences.

For example, if you twist your left leg while playing soccer, and after three or five days it still hasn't healed, all of a sudden, your right leg starts to hurt in the same spot.

Many people recall if they might have injured their right leg too, but in reality, this is caused by internal factors, not external ones.

Because the body's meridians are interconnected, after an injury, the stasis of blood and qi leads to corresponding feedback on the same meridian on the other side.

In the Spring Festival Gala skit about selling crutches, there's a classic line about virus transfer, and the lame leg can move to the other one, which, to some extent, is not just hype.

The method Lu Jiu used to treat this child was very straightforward.

In the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor", there's a phrase in the chapter on Yin-Yang Theory of Correspondence, "The skilled use needles to draw yin from yang, and yang from yin, treating the right with the left, and the left with the right."

At the same time, there is also a theory in traditional Chinese medicine called treating the upper for lower diseases and the lower for upper diseases.

This means when the child's left leg used a prosthesis and issues appeared in the right leg, Lu Jiu could use the method of treating the right from the left and the upper from the lower, directly targeting the acupoints on the left arm.

At the same time, the Miao Needle in the Official Needle Twenty-Six Stabs is a technique specifically for this type of disease.

The present Lu Jiu is already quite skilled, so naturally, treating this disease produces immediate results!

This is why the others in the consultation room were astonished, almost like promoting an act.

No way around it!

When you see a child pushed in a wheelchair, unable to walk, and a doctor inserts a couple of needles into his hand, and then the child can walk.

If it were you, you'd be surprised too.

Maybe you wouldn't exclaim like these uncles and aunts, but you would definitely take out your phone and record a video.

Because, according to common understanding, this phenomenon cannot be explained.

Who treats leg pain by treating the hand?

But this thought process of treating diseases runs throughout all theories of traditional Chinese medicine.

It highlights a guerrilla tactic, avoiding a direct confrontation with the pathogenic factors! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Got it, got it," the middle-aged man said.

He didn't expect his child to run and jump again, just being able to walk normally would be great.

"Alright, off you go, next one," Lu Jiu said.

The father and son slowly left, and the next patient quickly sat in front of Lu Jiu.

Qiao Ling and the other two stood at the door, watching this father and son leave with an empty wheelchair.

They couldn't help but start to murmur.

"Came in a wheelchair, treated a bit, and can walk home?" Li Lanyu muttered to herself.

"Exaggerated, right?" Qiao Ling said.

"I already thought Dr. Lu was amazing, especially after watching the TV program, but I didn't expect he'd become this incredible, no wonder he became the chief of the hospital!" Xue Yiyi said.

"You don't know, before the New Year when I went to see Dr. Lu, his clinic was always packed, and after the TV program aired, traffic would directly get congested around there, mark my words. Although this hospital doesn't have as many visitors as the others right now, it won't be long before it becomes the biggest hospital in Jianghan," Qiao Ling said.

"There's no doubt about it," Xue Yiyi said.

Although it's unlikely for a hospital to gain so much influence from just one person, the other doctors here aren't pushovers either.

The gynecology director who just examined Li Lanyu was also quite competent.

If every doctor at this hospital maintains this level, and with Lu Jiu's reputation, it's almost foreseeable that this place will become the top hospital in Jianghan.

It's just a matter of time!

...

Time ticked away, and the three of them were already sitting on stools inside the consultation room.

It had been over an hour, yet the patient ahead of Li Lanyu hadn't finished yet.

Of course, although the wait was long, it wasn't dull.

Even while treating patients, Lu Jiu would intermittently teach them certain things.

Though they might not consistently follow through after listening, it didn't hinder their eagerness to learn.

Finally, after an hour and a half of waiting, the patient ahead of Li Lanyu finished their consultation.

And she heard Lu Jiu call out.

"Next one."

Li Lanyu quickly stepped forward.

Lu Jiu smiled and glanced at Qiao Ling and Xue Yiyi.

He recognized them, considering them loyal patrons.

"Dr. Lu," Qiao Ling and Xue Yiyi immediately greeted Lu Jiu.

"You two seem to have lost quite a bit of weight, and your skin looks much better," Lu Jiu smiled.

Hearing this, Qiao Ling and Xue Yiyi felt delighted.

No woman would resist being complimented on her skin or her figure.

Especially when the praise comes from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!

That's a genuine compliment!

"Really?" Qiao Ling couldn't help but touch her face.

Since she recovered her complexion, she rarely wore makeup, gradually forming a habit of not wearing makeup to work, at most applying some lipstick, trimming her brows, and adding some eyeshadow when she went out during holidays.

"Keep it up, dietary habits are crucial, as long as your spleen and stomach are good, skincare isn't necessary," Lu Jiu said, suddenly having a thought, "Though, your friend here might need some attention, I'll see if I can remove the butterfly rash first."

Lupus patients often have a butterfly-shaped rash on their face, appearing dark red, with especially rough skin.

For girls, this naturally impacts their appearance.

However, skin issues are virtually no problem for traditional Chinese medicine.

Indeed, upon hearing Lu Jiu could remove the rashes on her face, Li Lanyu's eyes lit up with a strong shimmer.

It was an indescribable excitement!

"Doctor, you, you... can really help me remove them?"
