I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 318 - 284: Personalized Medicine

"Lu Jiu, this is not something to joke about!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately spoke up, signaling Lu Jiu not to speak carelessly if he wasn’t sure.

He actually acknowledged Lu Jiu’s ability but feared that Lu Jiu might accidentally say something wrong.

Moreover, this Professor Mo in front of them seemed perfectly healthy, not like someone with a health issue.

Besides, as a doctor, wouldn’t he know if he had a problem?

Feng Shaohua and Liu Xing also looked at Lu Jiu at the moment.

They were aware that traditional Chinese medicine has the skill of visual diagnosis, where some seasoned practitioners can tell what ailment a patient has just by looking.

Since Lu Jiu could treat so many difficult and complicated conditions, there was clearly no need to lie in front of everyone.

But they were quite curious; Mo Linxun seemed perfectly fine, so how could there be an issue?

"So, tell me, what’s wrong with me?" Mo Linxun was particularly curious.

He didn’t doubt Lu Jiu’s words; he just wanted to see if Lu Jiu could hit the nail on the head.

Lu Jiu replied, "How old are you this year?"

Mo Linxun answered, "Seventy-four."

Lu Jiu said, "At seventy-four, you look quite good; however, you likely experience dizziness, especially after exertion."

Hiss~~

Mo Linxun looked at Lu Jiu in surprise, "How did you figure that out?"

Got it right?

Liu Xing and the others looked at Lu Jiu in astonishment.

Lu Jiu replied, "Your complexion is somewhat pale, lips are dull, hair lacks luster, you lack strength in your speech, and the whites of your eyes have a yellow tint. Coupled with your advanced age, there’s a common shortfall of kidney essence, suggesting spleen deficiency leading to Qi and blood deficiency. This condition usually doesn’t cause major problems, usually just a foggy head, but after exertion, dizziness is inevitable."

"As it stands, your condition isn’t serious. After all, as one ages, the functions of the five viscera naturally weaken slightly. Minor illnesses are quite normal and there’s no need for major treatment. Practicing Eight Vajra Skills can help resolve the issue. If you don’t believe in the effects of Qi Gong, why not experience it for yourself?"

This...

Identifying symptoms just from facial features, eyes, hair, and the sound of voice.

I have to say, traditional Chinese medicine’s diagnostic phase is truly remarkable.

Mo Linxun actually had examinations done, but the equipment could not detect the head dizziness problem.

The doctors in the same hospital only said it’s likely due to neck vertebrae compressing the nerves due to exertion.

He underwent over a month of neck vertebrae rehabilitation treatment, but the dizziness problem was never resolved.

If not for the fact that resting usually doesn’t feel overly uncomfortable, he would have quit the hospital long ago.

"Qi and blood deficiency... Can this be adjusted without medication?" Mo Linxun asked.

Lu Jiu nodded, "Qi and blood deficiency is essentially spleen deficiency, typically mild spleen Yang deficiency. Since the spleen governs muscle, some exercise should easily facilitate recovery."

Mo Linxun said, "Alright, then I’ll give it a try."

Lu Jiu laughed, "Haha, I’ll set up a week-long class for you, practice for seven days first, and if you feel it’s effective, then continue."

Mo Linxun curiously asked, "A class? Is that the process in your health and rehabilitation department?"

Lu Jiu chuckled, "You can think of it as a gym. Whether it’s the medicinal diet department, beauty and maintenance department, or health and rehabilitation department, all three departments require prescriptions from other department directors or doctors to conduct conditioning, essentially a kind of customized healthcare."

Interesting!

It may seem somewhat unconventional, but overall it appears quite structured!

"Hey, Dean Lu, could you check me out as well? Maybe I could accompany Elder Mo in some exercise." Liu Xing said, smiling at Lu Jiu.

This trip wasn’t officially business-related, so they had some flexibility with their time. Since Mo Linxun wanted to try it out, Liu Xing was happy to accompany him.

After all, being idle is as idle does.

"Professor Liu doesn’t have any significant issues, just slight kidney Yang deficiency, which is common for most people over forty. It’s quite normal, and practicing Eight Vajra Skills could indeed be effective, but it requires consistency. Since you want to join Elder Mo, I’ll set up a week for you too, learn the movements first, and you can practice at home as well." Lu Jiu said.

Liu Xing wasn’t young anymore, and the words "kidney deficiency" didn’t faze him. Indeed, as Lu Jiu mentioned, among his friends, there’s hardly anyone who isn’t deficient. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Especially those older men with younger wives, who return home every day looking worn out, as if there’s a succubus hiding there.

If it were two or three decades ago, they might still be envious, jealous, and resentful.

But around their fifties, all they do is laugh at it now.

"Great, go ahead and set it up for me." Liu Xing laughed.

Seeing this, Gu Jun and the others were somewhat envious too.

Unfortunately, due to work constraints, they couldn’t manage to practice it regularly.

"Hey, Dean Lu, could we also try out your medicinal diet department?" Liu Xing asked while Lu Jiu was preparing the prescription.

"Sure, I’ll notify Director Yuan, no need for prescriptions as you all don’t have any major health issues. You can eat anything, just don’t overeat." Lu Jiu said.

"Thanks, thanks." Liu Xing replied with a smile.

Subsequently, Lu Jiu called Yuan Bin.

Requesting him to prepare seven meal cards.

Since the hospital’s medicinal diet department serves as its cafeteria, hospital medical staff, management, and logistics personnel also enjoy certain privileges.

Free meal cards are one such benefit!

Anyone employed by the hospital, regardless of their position, eats for free at the medicinal diet department.

Of course, this privilege is limited to the individual, and doesn’t extend to family members.

Soon, Lu Jiu completed the prescriptions for Liu Xing and Mo Linxun. Yuan Bin also arrived with the meal cards.

"Hey, Yuan Bin!? What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, one member of Liu Xing’s team exclaimed while looking at Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin also came to a realization, "Zhou Zhu, you guys are..."

Zhou Zhu immediately said, "We came to see Dean Lu. Wow, how did you end up in Jianghan after all these years?"

Though Zhou Zhu practiced Western medicine, he had known Yuan Bin for a long time and both were classmates in high school. Subsequently, Zhou Zhu attended Jinling Medical University, while Yuan Bin chose Jinling University of Chinese Medicine.

Afterward, they walked different paths.

But they remained in touch occasionally. Being doctors means being busy, so not talking for years is not uncommon, but the bond remains intact.

"I came along with the dean. There’s an initiative for traditional Chinese medicine pilot cities. Elder Huang invited our dean to help, and I followed along. What about you?" Yuan Bin said.

Oh!?

Shen Congwei is in Jianghan too?

Liu Xing and the others were quite familiar with the dean of Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

A master in acupuncture, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has invited him to treat foreign heads of state with his renowned skills.

His influence is evident.

For someone like him to come to Jianghan, Huang Fusheng surely deserves the title of National Master of Chinese Medicine, with extensive connections!

"Well, Dean Lu has a paper published in the Huaxia Medical Journal, so Elder Mo and I came over to meet Dean Lu." Zhou Zhu said.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bin looked at Lu Jiu in surprise, "Dean, impressive, quietly having a paper published in the Huaxia Medical Journal?"

He hadn’t managed to get a single paper published in the top domestic medical journal yet.

Of course, if it’s Lu Jiu, he’d undoubtedly respect that.

But his words were tinged with envy and a hint of resentment because, after all, Lu Jiu was only in his twenties.

Excelling in medical skill is one thing, but surpassing him in paper publication too.

It really makes him feel inadequate by comparison.

Lu Jiu smiled to himself, "Lucky, lucky."
