Qiao Wanwan was startled and quickly put down her phone. She ran to the bedside and saw that Old Su was convulsing, and the life monitor next to him was beeping.
"Madam, what can we do!" the doctor exclaimed anxiously. "We have absolutely no way to deal with this!"
Qiao Wanwan frowned and decisively said, "Take off his shirt, let me see!"
The doctor quickly did as instructed!
Mr. Su was not fat, and you could see signs of regular exercise on his body.
Qiao Wanwan examined his body and quickly had the doctor hold him down and give him a sedative injection!
Old Su gradually stopped convulsing, and his vital signs returned to normal.
Qiao Wanwan's gaze remained fixed on his chest. Suddenly, she noticed a slight bulge in his skin, and the bulge was moving!
"Madam, look!" Several doctors also saw it.
"It really is a Gu worm!" Qiao Wanwan hurriedly grabbed her phone to record a video.
A short while later, the moving Gu worm disappeared from the abdomen.
Qiao Wanwan sent the video to the "Ghost Hand Doctor" and instructed the doctor, "He doesn't need to wear clothes anymore. Just keep an eye on him and cover him with a blanket."
"yes."
Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa and picked up a medical book to study it.
This is a medical technique related to Gu poison passed down from generation to generation of legendary healers, but by the time it came to her master's generation, no one had actually come into contact with Gu poison, but she happened to encounter it.
Qiao Wanwan has a spirit of challenge; no matter how difficult it is, she will not be discouraged.
Gu poison is very complex, and medical books do not mention contagious Gu poison, so the antidote methods recorded in the books may not be applicable and can only be used as a reference.
Old Master Su is getting on in years, and his physical functions are not as good as those of a young person. The longer the Gu worm stays on his body, the greater the danger becomes, so Qiao Wanwan is under pressure.
The person lying in the hospital bed was none other than her maternal grandfather.
Although she said she came because the hospital needed her, a large part of the reason was because Old Su was her relative.
She didn't want to put pressure on the Huo family, so she only said it was her duty as the "Ghost Hand Divine Doctor".
Qiao Wanwan quickly finished reading the medical texts and summarized the methods used by the ancestors to deal with Gu poison.
She got up to visit Old Su and found that he was perfectly fine.
But Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but wonder, logically speaking, the Gu worms were haunting him, so this shouldn't be normal.
Qiao Wanwan immediately called the doctor, "Prepare the equipment, I need to give Old Su a comprehensive examination."
"No, Madam," the doctor said with difficulty. "Most of the equipment is in the examination room. If Elder Su goes there for examination, the examination room will become an infection zone, and other patients will not be able to have their examinations done."
"What if we transport the equipment over separately?"
"The equipment used for full-body scans is very large and difficult to move."
"Does the hospital have any spare equipment?" Qiao Wanwan asked again. "There can't be only one machine, right?"
"There really is one, but it's a repurposed one from the previous generation. Although it's not as advanced as the equipment in the examination room, it still surpasses other hospitals across the country. Plus, it's small enough to be moved over for use."
"Bring it here immediately."
"Yes, I'll arrange it."
Old Su quickly underwent a comprehensive physical examination.
Through a glass wall, Su Jing finally saw her father and daughter.
The father remained unconscious, while the daughter, fully equipped with protective gear, focused intently on treating him.
Both of them were the people she loved most, but at this moment, they were both in danger!
Qiao Wanwan could feel the worried gaze from outside, but she had no time to pay attention to it.
The test results came back quickly, and Qiao Wanwan discovered that there were signs of damage to various organs in Old Su's body!
"Madam, how could this happen!" the doctor exclaimed in shock!
“It’s a Gu worm.” Qiao Wanwan’s fingertips trembled. “The Gu worm has been eroding his internal organs. If this continues, the Gu worm will continue to grow stronger, and Old Master Su will be in mortal danger.”
"So what should we do now?"
Qiao Wanwan didn't say anything, but took out her phone and called the Ghost Hand Doctor.
“Master, Elder Su’s organs have been eroded by Gu worms, and I must begin to try to save him.”
"Right now we don't have a better way, so we can only try it. But Wanwan, you must remember that Gu poison is contagious and very dangerous. You must be extra careful."
"Don't worry, Master, I'll be careful. I'll send you a list of the items you need in a bit, and you can have them delivered as soon as possible."
"good."
Wutong Bay quickly delivered the supplies, and after Qiao Wanwan counted them, she began to treat Old Su.
She fed Old Su a life-extending pill, then prepared a container and medicine, cut Old Su's finger, and prepared to lure out the Gu worm.
But the Gu worms on Old Su's body did not react at all.
Qiao Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then quickly took off her gloves and picked up the knife beside her.
"Madam!" The doctor rushed forward to stop her. "You absolutely cannot do this! If the Gu worms are attracted to you, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"If we don't do this, the Gu worms won't come out."
The doctor volunteered, "I'll do it! I can't let you take any risks!"
“You can’t lure it out. This kind of Gu worm is carefully cultivated and recognizes blood. I am related to Elder Su by blood, so only I can successfully lure it out,” Qiao Wanwan said firmly. “Don’t worry, I won’t take any risks. I’ll just take a little blood.”
"Even if it's just a blood draw, Old Master Su's body is currently a source of infection. If you cut your finger, you could very well get infected."
"There's no time to lose, I can't worry about anything else, no one is allowed to stop me."
Qiao Wanwan resolutely cut her finger and dripped the blood into the container.
The doctor quickly bandaged her finger.
Sure enough, a reaction occurred in Old Su's body shortly afterward!
The worms crawled up his chest, down his arm, and then down his fingertips!
Qiao Wanwan was completely focused. "You all step back!"
Several doctors stepped back!
Qiao Wanwan seized the opportunity and, just as the Gu worm crawled out of Elder Su's wound, quickly put the lid on the container and placed it into the box that had been prepared to the side!
The box was plugged in and the worms inside were quickly frozen!
At the same time, Old Su, lying on his sickbed, coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood!
Qiao Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward to take his pulse!
"Madam, how is Elder Su?"
"He's doing alright for now, but he needs continued observation and recuperation. We've done everything we can, and we hope he can pull through."
"yes."
Qiao Wanwan made a video call to the "Ghost Hand Doctor".
"Master, the Gu worms have been successfully extracted, but because they are contagious, I plan to destroy them directly, so I can't conduct any research on them."
"You did the right thing. Safety is far more important than research." The Ghost Hand Doctor looked at her in the video. "Wanwan, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing..." Qiao Wanwan only felt a little dizzy, "I'll rest..."
As soon as she finished speaking, everything went black before her eyes, and she lost consciousness!
