Because in recent years, once the old man starts coughing, he will not stop until he faints. Many alchemists, paladins, etc. have been invited to help take care of him, but they all shook their heads and said that Lord Babylon's body was completely weak, so they were powerless. Even Remi's help and this kind of potion can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, unless there is a rejuvenating drug.
Therefore, Babylon has never had such a rapid cough relief in recent years! If old Babylon lives a few more years, the entire family can last longer and gain more layouts. The interests involved are astronomical, so this group of people regard Du Yuqi as a savior and wait for him to come back.
However, Du Yuqi did come back at this time, but he came back in a coma. The people of the Babylon family were dumbfounded. They also inquired about some things about Du Yuqi at this time, and knew that he was indeed an excellent doctor, and he used methods from another dimension to treat diseases. In their minds, Du Yuqi was the only hope.
Therefore, the reason why Du Yuqi was able to wake up at this time was entirely because of a bottle of medicine provided by the Babylon family, called "Shining Magic Juice"! This medicine is of the same level as Remi's assistance, claiming to be able to remove any abnormal state, but this bottle of Shining Magic Juice is not the complete version, but a small half bottle left over after drinking and then mixed with water and resold, so the effect is several times less, so it can only remove part of the toxins.
But since Du Yuqi was awake, there should be no problem. The poisonous stinger on his leg had been pulled out long ago, and then he put a cupping jar on his leg to suck out the poisonous blood. After sleeping for a while, although he still felt very weak, he had almost recovered and was thinking that he should go and say thank you.
But plans cannot keep up with the changes. Du Yuqi was just planning to go over to express his gratitude when the people from the old Babylon family came to the door on their own initiative. They said with bitter faces that the old man’s illness had recurred and he had been coughing for an hour and was about to die... They could only ask Pastor Du if there was any solution.
Facing the people of Babylon family, Du Yuqi was also very polite. He searched in the dimensional ring and found a bottle of snake gall, Fritillaria and loquat paste. He handed it to the person and told them to feed old Babylon with a spoon. It should work. He told them to pack up their things and go over. If this bottle of medicine didn't work, he would inject him with codeine.
After a while, Du Yuqi packed up his things and rushed over. Jet and the others followed him to see what was going on. When they arrived, they found that old Babylon was leaning against the bed, looking very haggard and pale, but his cough had stopped.
After seeing Du Yuqi, Old Babylon said weakly:
"Thank you very much, Pastor Du... I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time. The medicine you gave me is very unique. It tastes sweet and cool. My throat used to feel like it was burning, but now it feels very cold. It's magical. And I can feel that this medicine doesn't contain any toxins. It's not a double-edged sword like an alchemical potion."
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"I know a little about your problem. This medicine can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. You will continue to cough in the future. My treatment method comes from another dimension, so it may be very different from here. Therefore, I need to cut open your chest to determine what disease you have, and then I can treat it accordingly."
After hearing Du Yuqi's words, everyone around was stunned, but Babylon seemed very calm:
"After cutting open my chest, can my disease be cured?"
Du Yuqi shook his head and said:
"No, but as far as thoracotomy is concerned, I don't think there are any big risks. It won't even be painful, because I have a drug that will make you feel like you're drunk after taking it. When you wake up, everything will be done. You just need to rest for a week after the operation."
"And I think there will be no problem living for more than three years after the thoracotomy, and the cough will definitely be relieved. But I must point out that there are certain risks."
At this time, the son of old Babylon was already a little excited and said:
"This, this is definitely not possible! Cutting open the chest for treatment requires a very powerful person to do it! Who are you to dare to speak so recklessly?"
"Shut up!" Old Babylon said in a deep voice, "Get out of here right now!"
Then he turned to Du Yuqi and said:
"I agree."
The rest of the confidants listened to what Old Babylon said and did not raise any objections.
Because in fact it took old Babylon half a month to invite a well-known local alchemist and priest to seek treatment. The alchemist said it more tactfully - it is autumn now, if Lord Babylon can hold on until the currant flowers bloom next spring, then there will be no problem. The priest told the family very directly that Mr. Babylon's vitality was fading at an alarming rate, and he could live for at most six months. Please note that it is at most. He will not be able to survive this winter.
Compared with these two, Du Yuqi's promise that he can live for at least three years is undoubtedly a life-saving straw. More importantly, he has proved with his actions that he does have a way to cure old Babylon's disease, so his persuasiveness is very strong.
Next, Du Yuqi naturally went to do a series of preoperative preparations, and he allowed two family members to watch from the side, but everything had to follow his rules, such as wearing special clothes, wearing masks, only watching but not asking, etc. Naturally, the people around had no objection.
Next, Du Yuqi found a clean and sheltered place to perform the thoracotomy surgery, and invited two ice masters to use their skills to freeze an ice ball directly at the surgery site. The low temperature can perfectly prevent infection and disinfection.
At the same time, although there are no CT scans, B-ultrasound and other examinations here, Old Babylon's symptoms are actually very typical, and as a powerful person, his physique is at least ten times stronger than that of an ordinary earthling. Therefore, after the anesthesia took effect, Du Yuqi performed the thoracotomy very cleanly, which made the relatives next to him have eyelids twitching and their hands shaking!
"Found it!" Du Yuqi quickly shook off the blood on his hands and asked two relatives to come and see. They saw large clusters of terrible purple-black growths and scars in old Babylon's lung bronchi, which was shocking at first glance.
Du Yuqi said to Old Babylon's son:
"Everyone, please look, these extra malignant cells are the culprits that cause Lord Babylon to cough violently at any time, and they also absorb a large amount of nutrients from the body. I don't know what this disease is called on the continent of Arad. On our plane, it is called cancer. Since it grows in the lungs, it is called lung cancer."
The two were already very shocked at this time, and could only nod their heads at what Du Yuqi said.
Du Yuqi said:
"The next thing I have to do is to cut off these extraneous tumor tissues and restore Lord Babylon to health. From the surface, the situation now seems more optimistic than I imagined. If there is no metastasis, then there is a possibility of complete recovery."
Next, Du Yuqi began to show off his hand speed again. In addition, the patient's physique was far beyond that of ordinary people, and there was also a powerful weapon like therapeutic drugs as a backup to stop the bleeding. Du Yuqi naturally let go. After cutting off the lesion, Du Yuqi began to search everywhere for metastasis, because about 30% of lung cancer patients will have liver metastasis. Seeing him rummaging around in the internal organs, the two people watching nearby were really frightened, but they didn't even dare to say a word. After all, the old man's life was in other people's hands at this time!
After the operation was completed, Du Yuqi began to sew and disinfect, then stood up and said to the two observers:
"Congratulations. According to my judgment, Lord Babylon's lung cancer is still in the middle stage and has not metastasized. Therefore, after my surgery this time, he can live for at least another five years, and it is also possible that the disease can be eradicated. The chance is about 30%. In addition, if Lord Babylon can find a way to open a channel to my dimension and let me transport some inspection equipment over, then the chance of curing him can be increased to 50%."
