Li Chu cleared his throat and continued, "In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by the invasion of external pathogens, repeated relapses and worsening of the condition, and the exhaustion caused by excessive sexual activity. Furthermore, overwork or improper treatment further disrupts the balance of the internal organs, yin and yang, qi and blood."
Li Chu paused for a moment before continuing, "Because prolonged weakness and fatigue impair the body's ability to separate clear from turbid fluids, dampness and turbidity accumulate in the body, affecting other organs. We call this kidney deficiency or kidney fatigue."
Li Chu's words left the Western medicine doctors in the conference room completely bewildered.
However, they understood one thing: improper treatment.
Apart from the three department heads, the rest of the people looked at Dr. Liu.
Since entering the conference room, Dr. Liu has kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Director Chen carefully considered Li Chu's words: "Xiao Li, your conclusion is kidney strain?"
"Yes, but I don't know whether the kidney strain I'm talking about is the same as kidney failure in Western medicine."
"If you were to treat this patient, what would you do?" Director Chen continued to ask.
"Oral and external medications, medicated baths, acupuncture, plus medicated enemas. This treatment process is very long, with one course lasting three months."
Director Chen closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them and looked at the doctor sitting next to him who had been taking notes, asking, "Did you write down everything Dr. Li just said?"
The doctor taking notes said cautiously, "I've noted everything down, Director, but there are some words in what Dr. Li said that I don't know how to write."
"Xiao Li, could you please take a look at the consultation record book?"
Li Chu took the consultation record book. It was quite complete. He helped correct a few typos and handed it back.
"Xiao Li, thank you for your help today. You can go back now, and we can discuss it further." Director Chen stood up and extended his hand.
Li Chu shook hands with Director Chen and the two deputy directors: "Director Chen, you're too kind. It's nothing. You all go ahead with your work, I'll head over now."
As he spoke, Li Chu walked towards the meeting room, but he stopped at the door and turned back, saying, "Director Chen, this disease will definitely continue to progress. If the patient's kidneys stop detoxifying completely, then..."
If he remembers correctly, if it progresses further, it will become uremia, at which point he will either need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Siluke
It seems that the equipment for dialysis is not available yet.
As for a kidney transplant, well, Li Chu said he had never heard of such a procedure.
Although Li Chu didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood what he meant.
"Thank you, Xiao Li. We will come up with a solution as soon as possible." Director Chen forced a smile onto his dark, grimy face.
Li Chu did not go directly back to the consultation room. He first went to the hospital library and borrowed books on Western internal medicine and urology.
He plans to study Western medicine on his own, not to the point of treating patients, but at the very least to understand what the conclusions reached by Western medicine correspond to in traditional Chinese medicine.
He was thoroughly fed up with these nonsensical consultations.
Back in the consultation room, Li Chu didn't rush to look at the thick document, as it couldn't be finished in a day or two. He planned to take it home and read it slowly that evening.
He didn't go home for lunch. He had told Aunt Ding when he left in the morning that he had barely slept last night and planned to take a nap during his lunch break.
He won't be able to get a good night's rest for a while, so he needs to take a nap at noon, otherwise even the best body will be ruined by overwork.
When Li Chu got home from get off work in the afternoon, she saw her sister and Aunt Ding cooking together.
"Sis, why are you back so early today?"
“Several of my parents’ comrades-in-arms found out from someone that you had a child. They wanted to visit the child but couldn’t find a place, so they went to the neighborhood office and asked me to bring them over.”
Li Qin pointed to the living room: "The things those uncles and aunts brought over are on the table in the living room. Go see for yourself."
"Oh, by the way, Auntie has already gone back."
When Li Chu entered the living room, he saw a pile of things on the table.
There are canned fruit, canned meat, malted milk powder, milk powder, and two packets of lotus root powder.
There were other things on the sofa. Li Chu went over and picked them up. They were two Type 55 woolen overcoats for officers and two pure wool blankets.
All of them are high-quality items. Not to mention the wool coats, you simply can't find them anywhere else.
Li Chu has never seen what a ticket looks like, even though it's a pure wool blanket.
Ding Qiunan came out after hearing the noise in the living room.
“Li Chu, these things were brought by those uncles and aunts this afternoon. They even gave each of them a red envelope containing ten yuan.”
Li Chu nodded: "Yeah, it's okay. Those uncles and aunts are our parents' comrades-in-arms. You can take whatever they give you."
These were the parents' former comrades-in-arms, and due to their work, they rarely kept in touch.
However, Li Chu believed that if he ever needed anything, these uncles and aunts would do everything they could to help him.
"Honey, I'm thinking of giving these two coats to my sister and brother-in-law, what do you think?"
"Sure, it's only right that my sister and brother-in-law help us so much this time."
Li Chu began tidying up the things on the table and putting them into the cabinet, stuffing the two blankets into the bedroom closet.
The coat was left untouched on the sofa; I'll give it to my brother-in-law when he gets back.
Sure enough, when Wang Ziwen returned and saw the classic officer's wool coat, she was so fond of it that she didn't hesitate to take it without any politeness from Li Chu.
He casually handed the coal purchase permit that he had gotten from someone during the day to Li Chu.
Li Qin refused to accept the other item, so Li Chu had no choice but to put it away.
"Xiao Chu, our family will go back to live here tomorrow. Aunt Ding is here to help take care of things, and we don't have much to do, so it will be more convenient for us to go back."
Li Qin suddenly said this during the meal.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? You're perfectly fine here," Ding's mother said before Li Chu could speak.
“Yeah, sis, why are you in such a hurry to go back?” Ding Qiunan didn’t want Li Qin to leave either.
“Aunt Ding, we came here to take care of Qiu Nan. Now that you’re here, we feel at ease. Besides, if anything happens, just call home. It’s close by, so it’s convenient to come and go.”
"Qiu Nan, just get some rest, eat well and sleep well every day. I'll come to see you whenever I have time."
Li Chu didn't say anything. It was normal for his brother-in-law and the others to want to go back. They had been living here for several months, and they were definitely more comfortable at home.
Jia Yuan and Jia Dong were reluctant to go back. They had a blast here, with lots of delicious food every day, and Jia Yuan's face had visibly gotten rounder.
Jia Yuan was about to say something when Li Qin glanced at her and she didn't dare to say a word. Seeing this, Jia Dong quickly lowered his head and ate his food seriously.
The decision to move back home tomorrow has been made.
My sister and brother-in-law want to move back to their own home, so they can't really stop them.
