The so-called back carbuncle refers to the name of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.
In traditional Chinese medicine, this is a type of disease called "head and back carbuncle", which often occurs on the back.
In Western medicine, it is called "acute suppurative cellulitis of the back."
When you have this disease, you will feel a burning sensation in your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Abscesses will also appear on the back, and the abscesses are full of pus.
This is the situation with Liu Zhenqing now. His back is covered with pustules of various sizes.
Some had already burst, oozing a mixture of green and yellow pus, while others were red and swollen, like volcanoes about to erupt.
The entire back was so ulcerated that it was no exaggeration to say that there was not a single piece of good flesh left.
Carbuncle on the back is somewhat contagious to a certain extent, but it does not infect others, it only infects oneself.
Once the pus spreads to other parts of the skin, new pustules will appear at that location within a day.
The pain and itchiness are unbearable. It is not right to scratch or not to scratch.
It can drive good people crazy.
So once you get carbuncle on your back, you will lose your mobility and will not be able to work at all.
Since ancient times, back carbuncle has been considered one of the terminal diseases.
The cure rate for this disease is extremely low.
In history, Fan Zeng, a famous official in the late Qin Dynasty, Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Xu Da, a founding hero of the early Ming Dynasty, all died of back carbuncle.
When the carbuncle on the back develops to the entire back and even spreads to the neck and head, even the immortals will be helpless.
However, back carbuncle can be divided into acute and chronic cases. Liu Zhenqing's case is a chronic case, otherwise he would not have lived to this day.
Although back abscesses are difficult to treat, hospitals are not helpless.
Morales had the same doubt, so he asked, "Are you allergic to certain antibiotics?"
Liu Zhenqing didn't expect the other party to know this. He nodded in surprise and said, "Yes, I have been allergic to antibiotics since I was a child. The doctor said that there are only one person with my constitution in ten thousand. That's why the abscess on my back can't be cured. I have been treated many times but there is no improvement."
Mo Laishi nodded. He had basically figured out Liu Zhenqing's condition. He stood up and said with a smile, "Western medicine can't cure diseases, but Chinese medicine can. So, I'll write a prescription and ask your wife to prepare it first."
Then, Morais began to write quickly on the paper.
But when Tian Xiaolan took the prescription, she was stunned.
Liu Zhenqing thought the medicine was too expensive, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaolan, go sell the jade bracelet my mother left behind. It should be enough to buy the medicine."
Tian Xiaolan's eyes were somewhat dull, and she didn't respond to Liu Zhenqing's words. Instead, she looked at Mo Laishi and said, "Doctor Mo, this... is this sure there is no mistake?"
Mo Laishi knew why Tian Xiaolan asked this question, and smiled and said, "There is no mistake, it is just as you see."
Tian Xiaolan lowered her head again and saw clearly what was written on the paper: "A jar of white vinegar, plus peppercorns, star anise, onions, cinnamon, cumin..."
Is this a cure, or are you planning to stew my husband?
But since Dr. Mo was right, Tian Xiaolan no longer questioned it and went downstairs to buy the necessary materials.
Soon, Tian Xiaolan came back.
Following Morales' instructions, first pour the white vinegar into a large pot, then add all the spices and bring to a boil.
Then pour the boiled vinegar soup into a large bucket, and then continue to pour in new white vinegar and continue to boil.
It took four repeated boils before the vat was half full.
"It's almost done. Sit down now. It will take about two hours to soak, and then I'll give you acupuncture." Mo Laishi said to Liu Zhenqing.
Liu Zhenqing did not hesitate and sat in the barrel with the help of Tian Xiaolan.
Faced with Mo Laishi's incredible treatment method, Tian Xiaolan was at a loss for words.
Mo Laishi seemed to see the other party's confusion and took the initiative to explain: The cause of back carbuncle is, to put it simply, internal heat. Long-term internal heat will cause the fire poison to invade the internal organs. When it accumulates to a certain level, it will erupt on the back and manifest as back carbuncle.
"And the treatment method I use now is to fight poison with poison. Peppercorns, star anise, onions, cinnamon, cumin, etc. are seasonings nowadays, but in ancient times, they were definitely medicinal herbs!"
"Moreover, they are all hot herbs."
"This will have the effect of fighting poison with poison, neutralizing the fire poison in your husband's body. White vinegar also has the effect of eliminating the toxicity of the pus in the abscess."
"After your husband finishes his bath, I'll use acupuncture to force out the toxins hidden deep within his internal organs. Your husband's illness will basically be cured."
After listening to Mo Laishi's introduction, the confusion on Tian Xiaolan's face gradually turned into joy.
At this time, Duoduo also came over and asked in a baby voice: "Brother, will my dad get better after taking a bath? Then can I take Duoduo to the park to play?"
Mo Laishi picked up Duoduo and said gently, "Of course you can. Your dad can also take you to play football, basketball, and fly kites with you in the suburbs."
Duoduo giggled happily and clapped his hands: "Yeah, yeah, yeah! Duoduo hasn't gone out to play with Daddy for a long time."
At this time, Tian Xiaolan's face was covered with tears.
"Doctor Mo, thank you so much, I...I..." Tian Xiaolan was so excited that she couldn't even finish her words.
"It's just a small favor. By the way, your husband was the team leader in the factory, right? He should be good at management, right?" Mo Laishi changed the subject.
Liu Zhenqing, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "I can't say I'm good at it. I'm just a small team leader in the factory, responsible for allocating the division of labor, arranging shifts, etc."
"That's enough, wait a minute." After saying that, Mo Laishi took out his cell phone without saying anything and made a call in front of the couple.
"Hey, Uncle Long, I have a friend who used to be a team leader at an ironworks. Do you have a suitable job for him?"
"Okay, that's settled then."
Morais said a few words to the person on the phone and then hung up.
Liu Zhenqing and Tian Xiaolan looked at each other, not understanding what Mo Laishi was doing at all.
"One of my elders' companies owns a steel mill, I think it's called Far East Steel, and they're in need of a plant manager. Since you're quite familiar with the area, I just recommended you."
"If you have no problem with it, you can start working next week with an annual salary of 5 million. We can discuss other benefits when you get there." Mo Laishi said to Liu Zhenqing lightly.
That’s right, the person Mo Laishi just called was Yu Wanlong.
Yu Wanlong naturally agreed to Mo Laishi's request.
Not to mention being the director of a factory, even if Liu Zhenqing were to become the vice president of Wanlong Group, Yu Wanlong wouldn't even frown.
But these words sounded like rolling thunder to Liu Zhenqing and Tian Xiaolan.
Far East Steel?
just?
Factory director?
5 million?
After being stunned for three minutes, Liu Zhenqing turned his head stiffly and said to Tian Xiaolan, "Wife, I feel like the fire poison may be taking a toll on me. Can you help me boil some white vinegar?"
