After the three of them had each taken Sarah's pulse, Li Chu then made his move.
Yes, it's due to deficiency of Qi and blood, insufficient kidney essence, malnourishment of the marrow, and deficiency of both spleen and kidney Qi and Yin.
These three children's judgment was quite accurate.
It should be said that Sarah's treatment in her country, while not very effective, did at least somewhat control the progression of her condition and prevent it from worsening.
Judging from her current condition, she is in a slightly better state than Ran Ziye was back then.
After listening to the three of them share their insights, Li Chu looked at Sarah and asked, "Just a quick question, the best way to treat kidney failure where you live is a kidney transplant, and you don't seem like you can't afford it, so why did you choose to come here for treatment?"
After listening to the translation, Sarah hesitated for a moment, glanced at her husband, and when he nodded, she said, "It's actually very simple. My blood type is very rare, and there's no blood type match at all, let alone a kidney donor."
Li Chu glanced at the documents on the bedside table with some surprise; he hadn't paid much attention to the blood type section at all.
No wonder she was willing to travel thousands of miles to another country for treatment; she was probably hoping to try her luck.
“Mr. Charles, Ms. Sarah, have you considered this question?”
"What?"
"That's the treatment phase. Since you need to have a check-up every month, it's very likely that you'll be staying here for the next year."
"It's okay, Dr. Li. I've looked into this before. My wife will come with me to my current workplace, and we'll come for a check-up every month."
"Then I have no problem. Oh, right, there's also the medicine. Should I bring the prescription with you and you buy it at the hospital over there, or should you buy a month's supply here at once?"
"Of course I'll buy it from you."
"Preparing the medicine is very simple. Just find any pharmacy over there, or go to the hospital pharmacy, and have them prepare it for you."
"Um... Dr. Li, is it okay to have them prepare the medicine? Could... could... cause any problems?" Charles asked cautiously.
Judging from his appearance, Li Chu knew that he must have heard something from the people who were testing the drugs, and thought that the drugs he prescribed might cause problems as long as they didn't pass through his hands.
"Don't worry, Mr. Charles, this medicine is different from that medicine. As long as you don't add any other medicines to it, there won't be any problems."
"Phew~ Thank you, Dr. Li."
"You're welcome. Your wife is my patient, and I am a doctor. Treating and saving lives is a doctor's duty, nothing more."
After writing out the prescription, he handed it to Wenxuan and asked Liu Ziqiang to go to the pharmacy with him. Thirty days' worth of medicine couldn't be prepared in a short time.
Of course, the bill was all charged to Sarah, who had prepaid the fees before being hospitalized.
Seeing this, Carl quickly followed, saying he wanted to help the two of them and didn't want to stay in the ward for even a minute longer.
Watching Karl's retreating figure, which seemed somewhat flustered, Li Chu raised an eyebrow. This translator from the American embassy seemed a little afraid of him.
However, considering he's only in his early thirties, his ability to speak Chinese so fluently is quite remarkable.
"Ms. Sarah, the medicine I prescribed is to be taken twice a day, morning and evening, before meals. It's a bit bitter, but please don't add sugar."
"I understand, Dr. Li."
"Okay, come back for a follow-up check-up after you finish your medicine. I may not be available every day, so it's best if you come two days in advance."
After saying that, Li Chu said to the staff of the external liaison office, "Leave your office phone number to them so they can make an appointment for you before they come."
"Understood, Dean Li."
"Alright, Mr. Charles, Ms. Sarah, you can take your medicine with you once it's ready. Have a good rest, and I hope you'll come to love our beautiful country."
After saying that, Li Chu was about to leave when Sarah saw him about to go. She quickly called him back and asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
"Dr. Li, I'm very sorry, but I'd like to ask you a personal question."
The staff member, who had been taking notes, paused here, unsure whether he should speak up to stop them, as it seemed a bit against the rules.
“Ms. Sarah, since this is a private matter, I think I have the right to refuse, don’t I?”
“Uh…” Now it was Sarah’s turn to be stunned. She hadn’t expected to be rejected to her face.
Well, Sarah is a beautiful woman with fair skin, a pretty face, long legs, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a curvaceous figure. In her early thirties, she's at the peak of her beauty and can fulfill many men's fantasies.
However, due to the illness, her face is slightly swollen.
Sarah wondered if her face had become even more swollen in the past two days, otherwise why would this man refuse to answer her questions?
"No, Dr. Li, in our country, it is extremely impolite to refuse a lady."
"You said it yourself, that was in your country, not here. Besides, I have no personal issues with you. Well, Ms. Sarah, I'm very sorry, you should get some rest."
After saying that, Li Chu nodded to Charles, then turned and left the ward, walking away very decisively.
Only the stunned couple and the staff from the headquarters' external liaison office remained.
The staff member suppressed a laugh as he finished recording the last bit, then put away his notebook.
He was a little hesitant about whether to write it down or not, but he didn't expect Dean Li to refuse directly, which made him feel much better and relieved him of having to think about those issues.
Actually, Sarah was a bit silly. If she had just asked directly, Li Chu might have answered. But because she insisted on asking for his opinion, he could only refuse.
"Honey, is my face very swollen?"
Sarah turned to look at her husband and asked.
"No, no, no, how could you think that? You're still as beautiful as ever, no different from yesterday."
Charles walked over to his wife and kissed her forehead.
The staff member stood there with his eyes downcast, but inwardly he was thinking: These foreigners are really barbaric. They do such intimate things in broad daylight with outsiders present.
Li Chu led Duan Jianing out of the ward and towards the outside of the inpatient department.
"Teacher, what did that foreigner say just now? I saw that you rejected her, and she and her husband seemed very surprised."
Duan Jianing was almost dying of curiosity. She vowed that she would study foreign languages seriously when she got back, because it was really too painful not being able to understand what others were saying.
Li Chu ignored her completely and walked straight towards the outpatient hall.
Duan Jianing stuck out her tongue as she followed behind, not daring to ask any more questions.
