I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chapter 86: The Dread of Cancer (2/3)


Ji Xiuwen frowned slightly, seeming somewhat puzzled.

This is completely different from the prescription just given, not even one of the same medicines.

No wonder he doesn't understand.

And Su Kenan, who was registering information on the computer, also subconsciously paused her actions, looking over at Lu Xuan.

Seeing that neither of them understood, Lu Xuan patiently explained, "Heat causes anal closure, deficiency causes anal prolapse. Prolapse of the anus due to coughing generally occurs in children who are often physically weak, with insufficient central energy, descending Qi deficiency, and loose anus. After bowel movements, there is bleeding, caused by damp-heat moving downward in the large intestine.

The reason for using the Hundred Herbs Frost Pill is simple. The frost from the Hundred Herbs in the formula can astringe and stop bleeding; while honey, which is sweet and neutral, nourishes and moistens the lungs. The lung and large intestine are related, the two medicines combined can tonify deficiency and moisten dryness, harmonize the middle, and eliminate stasis, showing remarkable efficacy.

The formula for the Hundred Herbs Frost Pill is simple and easy to take orally, making it suitable for children with resistant anal prolapse or those who experience bleeding."

Having said this, Lu Xuan thought for a moment and added, "Each formula targets different situations. Even in the case of prolapse, there are many kinds of situations. In different cases, the medication used varies. So everything needs to be prescribed according to differentiation. One formula can indeed be applicable to many situations, but not all situations can be treated with the same formula."

"As for other situations, we'll discuss them when we encounter them later."

Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but give Lu Xuan a thumbs up. Although he was still curious about what had happened to Lu Xuan to cause such changes, it did not affect his admiration for his old schoolmate.

Both of them were of the same age, graduated from the same university, with similar grades. Up till now, Ji Xiuwen still struggled with pulse diagnosis and didn't know what to do, let alone prescribing formulas.

However, Old Lu was not only invincible at pulse diagnosis, but also had a thorough understanding of pathology, and knew the properties of the formulas like the back of his hand...

All of these indicate one problem: the gap between the two of them has not only failed to close, but is also widening.

Ji Xiuwen even began to doubt whether Old Lu was really his classmate or if these years had just been a dream.

Otherwise, how could the gap be this terrifying?

Before coming to the Health Center, Ji Xiuwen thought about learning all the skills from the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the Qiu City Street Health Center, to step into a broader world.

But now he realized that he didn't need to learn everything. Even if he just learned ten percent of his old classmate's skills, it would be enough for him to excel in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, maybe even walk around with pride.

However, Ji Xiuwen then pondered another question.

Is the ability Lu Xuan is showing now his full potential?

If so, he thought that with his talent, he could still learn ten percent of his old classmate's skills.

But if not, that would be quite terrifying.

The most crucial thing is that Lu Xuan is still young, in his twenties, who knows how far he will go in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the future, perhaps even becoming a Medical Saint.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuwen was startled by his own thoughts.

Medical Saint, a term he never dared to think of before, suddenly popped into his mind.

And perhaps the one who could achieve this step might be his old classmate.

Back at Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, they always hoped that one day they could become associate chief TCM doctors, as for chief TCM doctors, they didn't even dare to think about it.

Famous doctors, they weren't in their vocabulary.

Medical Saints, they didn't even dare to dream of such a dream.

At this moment, Ji Xiuwen was astonished to discover that his old classmate could truly walk that path.

After all, Lu Xuan is still very young.

Is there any problem in becoming a new generation of Medical Saint in a few decades?

Ji Xiuwen didn't see any problem at all.

In just a few minutes, Ji Xiuwen had thought of many things. By the time he came to his senses, he realized that the child's father had already paid for the medicine, waiting for him to gather it.

"Stop thinking, gather the medicine first."

With Lu Xuan's reminder, Ji Xiuwen came back to his senses, looking at the child's father, "Do you need a decoction service?"

The child's father shook his head, "No need, I have a specialized sand pot for decocting traditional medicine at home, and I live far away, so it's not convenient for me to come back to pick it up. I'd like to take it with me now."

"Alright."

Ji Xiuwen nodded, then picked up the payment receipt and headed to the herbal medicine room.

The child's father thanked Lu Xuan and left the consulting room with the child.

Having looked at the time on the wall, he realized that explaining the pulse diagnosis and prolapse took quite a while. If they didn't speed up, they would have to work overtime at noon again today.

Without waiting for Ji Xiuwen, he directly instructed Su Kenan to call the next patient number.

The medicine could wait to be gathered later, but since the person lived far away, and was the first, there weren't many medicines in the formula. It wouldn't take long, so it was more convenient to gather it directly and let the person take it away.

After Su Kenan called the number, someone soon entered the consulting room.

A man under forty entered, followed by a woman of similar age to him, probably his wife.

Shortly after the man sat down, Ji Xiuwen finished gathering the medicine and returned to the consulting room.

After the man sat down, Lu Xuan asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The man's name was Tong He, aged thirty-nine. When Lu Xuan inquired about his condition, he paused before slowly detailing his situation one by one.

The patient had experienced difficulty swallowing for six months. Because it was quite severe, he went to the hospital for examination. An endoscopy showed a stricture in the upper esophageal segment, approximately 4cm in length. The pathological report indicated squamous cell carcinoma. He underwent surgery in September and received postoperative radiotherapy.
