Chapter 387 - 387 Stroke
387 Stroke
“This is because he doesn’t have enough blood in his brain. He can be treated, but it takes a lot of time and effort. Moreover, even if he’s cured, the illness will come back in a year or two.”
“The patient has cerebral palsy caused by a stroke. It’s difficult to treat. If it’s in the beginning stage, he might still have a chance. Now, it’s too late. Sigh… I’m helpless!”
“Western medicine doesn’t have a good solution for stroke. Perhaps Chinese medicine can help…”
“I also think Chinese medicine can work…”
Previously, these self-proclaimed famous doctors were looking down on Chinese medicine. Now, they decided to push the hot potato to Gao Huiren and Qin Xi.
“Master Gao, I’m sorry. We’re not familiar with Chinese medicine. As you know, Western medicine is divided into different subjects. I’m just an orthopedic surgeon and am not suitable for treating strokes. Do you have any good ideas?”
Gao Huiren didn’t mind taking the hot potato. This was because he had been learning the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique from Liu Dequan recently and was lacking a chance to showcase it. He subconsciously looked at Qin Xi, who nodded at him with encouragement in her eyes.
With Qin Xi’s encouragement, Gao Huiren immediately began to treat the patient. He took out the silver needles and took a deep breath. He held his breath and focused as he pierced the needles into the acupoints of the patient.
As time pa.s.sed, the old man’s grandchildren were nervous and worried. They clenched their fists and looked at the silver needles in Gao Huiren’s hand without blinking, afraid that if Gao Huiren’s hand trembled, their grandfather would be finished.
No one present knew what Gao Huiren’s acupuncture technique was. They just felt that it was very powerful. Moreover, during the acupuncture process, Huang Bo did show some reaction.
After the acupuncture was done, he took Huang Bo’s pulse. He felt that Huang Bo’s pulse was indeed getting stabler. A smile finally appeared on his face.
“Doctor, how’s my grandfather?” Huang Bo’s grandson, Huang Yongliang, asked anxiously.
Gao Huiren put away the silver needles and revealed a kind and comforting smile for the first time. “Don’t worry, I can treat your grandfather’s illness. However, I still need to perform another session of acupuncture. This is the first one. Tomorrow, go to Ji Ding Hall on x.x.x Street and I’ll perform the second acupuncture on him. By the third acupuncture, your grandfather will be good to go.”
“Really? Doctor, is what you said true? Can my grandfather really recover from the stroke?” Huang Bo’s grandchildren were so excited that they were incoherent with tears in their eyes.
Gao Huiren knew how they felt. He nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry, your grandfather will be fine. Remember to come and find me tomorrow.”
Seeing that Gao Huiren could even treat a stroke, the people below the stage could no longer remain calm.
It had to be noted that the chances of a stroke being cured were low under normal circ.u.mstances, especially a stroke in the head. In this era, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to completely cure it. But now, Master Gao actually did it in a matter of a few minutes.
This was too shocking.
Initially, He Xu wanted to ask something, but after being stared at by Qu Manzhang, he gave up on it. The third patient came up.
This was a patient with severe bronchial asthma, a woman in her thirties. The woman’s voice gave off an uncomfortable feeling, as if she had a phlegm stuck in her throat.
Qin Xi could tell at a glance that if this patient could not be treated today, she would die within three days. Judging from the fact that she was out of breath constantly and that her phlegm was already stuck to her throat, she would be at the jaws of death in less than three days.
