304 is more serious than expected

Sun Sicheng and his group stayed in Qingfeng Inn. It was not because this inn was the best, but because it was closest to the Wang family.

Jixiang washed up briefly, then took the eldest son's business card to the Wang family. However, he came back in less than half an hour, followed by the Wang family's butler.

Sun Sicheng and Ping An had just finished washing up and were drinking tea with refreshed spirits.

"My dear, my master was extremely happy when he heard that you were coming. He just happened to have a guest at home and couldn't come to pick you up in person. My master asked me to ask you if you can stay at the mansion. There are guest rooms in the mansion."

Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "We just arrived a while ago, so there is no need for Lord Wang to pick us up. We chose this inn specifically because it is close to Wang's house. We don't need to stay there. I wonder how the old man is doing now? Is there any imperial physician at home?"

Steward Wang said, "My old master had a serious stroke, and it has been two months. Doctor Hu is still in the mansion, and he has been treating the old master. His condition is much better than before, but he still can't move, talk, or eat normally."

Sun Sicheng frowned. He knew about Doctor Hu, who was also an expert in treating stroke. After a month of treatment, the patient was still like this, which showed that the condition was very serious.

"In that case, I will take my apprentice with you to see the patient. After seeing the patient and communicating with Doctor Hu, we can decide on the next step of treatment."

Butler Wang was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, young master."

"Ping An, you take Ruyi and pack the medical box, Wanli will follow, and the rest of you will rest at the inn. He Jin, you stay at the inn."

He Jin nodded quickly. There were more than twenty people, including many older children. At least one of him and Wan Li should stay.

Sun Sicheng didn't tell Xiao Ping'an what he was thinking. He thought he could figure out many things as he went along. Perhaps he could go back in ten days or half a month, so there would be no need for Master Wang to remind him.

When we arrived at Wang's house, we happened to see the eldest master of the family seeing off a guest.

Master Wang saw them off and then hurriedly welcomed Sun Sicheng and his companions in with a smile.

"My dear young master, I am really sorry for making you travel all the way."

"Master Wang, you called me Sicheng. This is what I should do. Please take us directly to the old master's yard."

The Wang family's house is a large mansion with four courtyards, each of which has several courtyards. The old man lives in the second courtyard.

Doctor Hu was checking the old man's pulse. When he saw Sun Sicheng coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Sicheng, you're finally here. You're much better than me at treating stroke."

"Uncle Hu, you can't say that. My father always gives you a thumbs up for your medical skills at home." Sun Sicheng looked at the old man on the kang.

The old man was very thin, with almost no weight visible under the thin quilt. His face was pale, and his mouth and nose were a little crooked, but he was okay.

Sun Sicheng and Ping An bowed to the old man.

The old man on the kang looked at them blankly. One could barely see the corners of his mouth move slightly, but he could not utter a word.

Doctor Hu said, "Sicheng, the old man's mouth and nose were severely crooked at first, but now it's better, but he still can't eat. He can only be fed a small amount of liquid food. He is very thin. I am very worried, but I don't have a good solution, so I thought of you.

There is another thing that I am at a loss for. I found a lump in the old man's abdomen. It is quite large. When I asked Mr. Wang, he said that his father did not tell him at first. It has grown faster in the past two years. He has been taking medicine to dissolve the lump, but it has not worked at all. "

Wang Zhihan frowned, "Sicheng, my father said that this lump has been growing for several years. At first, he felt a little hard, but it was not obvious and it didn't hurt, so he thought it was nothing. But in the past year or so, it suddenly grew faster. We felt something was wrong and have been treating it at the city's medical clinic, but it didn't work. Could this stroke be related to this?"

Sun Sicheng shook his head: "It's not that relevant, but it can't be said that there is no relationship at all. If the old man has trouble sleeping because of this, then there is a little connection."

He went forward to take the old man's pulse and found that his illness was more serious than he had imagined. He was over seventy years old and frail. He might die at any time.

He checked the lump in his abdomen again and found that there was indeed a large bulge in his stomach. It was no exaggeration to say that it was as big as a small rice bowl.

"Ping An, come and take a look."

Ping An had already noticed it. He didn't say anything and just started checking it for a while.

"Master, this is probably an abdominal tumor. I checked carefully and couldn't feel any similar lumps anywhere else. There is no other way but to remove it surgically.

But the old man’s body is not strong enough to handle it now.”

Sun Sicheng said in a dilemma: "The old man's stroke is very serious. He won't recover in a short time, and he can't eat normally. If the mass grows too fast, it may also compress his stomach and intestines."

Doctor Hu looked at Ping An and said, "Sicheng, this is your disciple Ping An? Was he the one who first came up with the idea of ​​alcohol?"

"Yes, Ping An, this is Doctor Hu, he has a very good relationship with my father."

Ping An hurriedly bowed and said, "Ping An greets Grandpa Hu."

"Okay, okay, it's true that heroes emerge young."

Sun Sicheng said proudly, "Lord Wang, Uncle Hu, Ping An is very talented in surgical excision, even better than me. But the old man is focusing on treating the stroke first, so the tumor excision can only be put on the back burner."

"I am now unemployed at home, so you should just call me Master Wang."

Master Wang looked at Ping An and said, "My dear, Ping An, when I was bathing my father these days, I accidentally found a small hard lump on his lower body. It's very small, about the size of a soybean. Is it serious?"

Ping An frowned and said, "Sir, this lump is probably a glandular cyst. If it is benign, it is fine, but it must be removed, otherwise..."

He didn't say much.

It is difficult to say about the lump here. If it is benign, it will be fine after removal. But if it is malignant prostate cancer, the situation will be difficult to say.

But there was no such thing as cancer in ancient times, only the term malignant tumor.

It was obvious that Doctor Hu and Master Wang had also thought of this, and both of them looked unhappy.

Master Wang said, "Sicheng, can you and Ping'an live in my house? Doctor Hu also lives here, and the guards can move in too. It might be a bit crowded with more people."

Sun Sicheng thought for a while, then shook his head: "Just prepare a room for Ping An and me to rest, and give our medical assistant a small room. The inn I live in is not far from here, and I have brought quite a few people with me. In fact, I also have a house here, but it's a little far from yours, one to the east and the other to the south."

Mr. Wang certainly knew that Baicaotang was on South Street. Because it was far from his home, he hired a doctor from Huichuntang for the initial treatment.

"Sicheng, my father's illness is not a one-day thing. If possible, it would be best if he could come to live at home. He is old and had a severe stroke. Now he has a mass in his abdomen and a glandular cyst. I am worried."

"Lord Wang, let's do this. I will go back and make some arrangements today. I will take most of the people back to my house, and only bring four people here."
