Chapter 54 054 Continuous multiple intestinal obstructions & expert group inspection &…
Jin Yue was stunned, "What intestinal obstruction?"
Kang Yongxin pointed in the direction of his office and said, "Would it be convenient for me to go over and have a chat?"
Jin Yue nodded. She always remembered his help to her. If it weren't for him, she really wouldn't have found anyone to help her extract the gastric fluid.
But he not only helped her, but also helped her transform the intellectual property into wealth, and in the end he didn't ask for any kickbacks. This is enough to prove that Kang Yongxin is a very good person, except that he often has a stern face and seems difficult to get along with.
After entering the office, it was still a mess, with bottles and jars piled all over the place, and the tables and benches were covered with a layer of dust. Jin Yue, an obedient rookie in the workplace, was itching to get his hands dirty.
"My sister has been suffering from recurrent intestinal obstruction for many years. I would like you to go and help her."
So that's how it is. This is easy to deal with. Intestinal obstruction can be divided into mild and severe levels. Mild gastrointestinal decompression will be enough, but if adhesion or necrosis occurs, surgery must be performed. But Kang Yongxin considered using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. She had a preconceived idea that the condition should not be serious and was far from reaching the indications for surgery.
Jin Yue nodded, "Shall we go to your house now?"
Unexpectedly, Kang Yongxin's eyes darkened, "She is in the hospital... She has been notified of her critical condition."
Shu Jinyue was extremely surprised. It made sense to be hospitalized for intestinal obstruction, but to be hospitalized until he was critically ill, what was going on? !
"My sister's situation is a little complicated."
It turned out that Kang Yongxin's parents were both pharmacists of the Hu family. He grew up in a small courtyard behind the Hu family's herbal medicine shop. Grandma Hu was still the eldest daughter at that time. She loved them, the children, the most. She was kind-hearted and often asked the maid to go out to buy snacks and share them with them.
Kang Yongxin's sister is called Kang Yuqiong. She is the youngest of the group of children. She is just over one year old and cannot walk very steadily yet. But she often follows them around and calls them "Miss" and "Miss", which makes Grandma Hu very happy.
Whenever the parents were happy, she would be given the most snacks. However, children do not know how to be full, so they would eat whatever the adults gave them. She ate too much oily and sugary food and did not like to drink water. She could not defecate for ten days or half a month, but the adults did not take it seriously.
"When she was seven or eight years old, she suddenly complained of stomachaches. My parents worked in a pharmaceutical factory and knew a little about pharmacology, so they brought back some herbs like rhubarb and senna leaves to make tea for her to drink."
Generally speaking, rhubarb has a laxative effect, which is common knowledge known to most Chinese people. However, it is this common sense that harms children.
"The child's body was immature, and when he suddenly ate so much rhubarb, the bitter and cold taste damaged his yin, and his constipation was cured, but once he stopped taking the medicine, it rebounded even more severely. The longest time he was unable to defecate was 16 days."
Kang Yongxin sighed. Speaking of these things, he was also responsible. When his sister was young, she often complained of stomachaches. He thought she did it because she didn't want to go to school and wanted to get some snacks. He didn't take it seriously at all and didn't tell her parents. If he had told them earlier, perhaps it wouldn't have become so serious.
It was obvious that at the beginning, his sister was more talented in studying than him. She was faster than him in learning math, physics, chemistry and foreign languages. She could memorize the same rhyme after reading it a few times, but he needed to recite it over and over again for a long time. If it weren't for this disease, she might have become a professor in a medical school, with many students all over the world.
"Because of long-term constipation, which led to intestinal obstruction, medications could no longer relieve constipation. She had her first intestinal obstruction surgery when she was 18 years old."
Jin Yue raised his eyebrows, "the first time", which means there will be a second time.
"It was because of that surgery and an anesthesia accident that caused her lower limbs to become paralyzed and she has been living in a wheelchair ever since."
Shu Jinyue's heart sank. Being paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, the lack of exercise for his lower limbs would only make his gastrointestinal motility worse, and the possibility of a recurrence of intestinal obstruction would only be higher. This would simply add insult to injury!
Kang Yongxin looked into her eyes and nodded, "Yes, she had three more operations later, all because of the recurrence of intestinal obstruction. Each time, her body deteriorated a little bit, and this year she is at the end of her strength."
Unfortunately, fate did not let her go. No matter how careful she was, she still failed to prevent the obstruction again. When she was sent to the hospital this time, the doctor said that he did not dare to operate on her because her body was too weak. All the indicators that must be checked for surgery were very low, far from meeting the surgical standards.
Jin Yue could also understand that, because she had been paralyzed for many years, either confined to a wheelchair or bedridden, her physical condition had not been exercised at all, and surgery was an invasive method that would cause great harm to her.
"Her previous four surgeries were also a bit strange. Within three days or at most five days after the surgery, the intestinal obstruction would recur. It seemed that the surgery was of no use to her."
Kang Yongxin lowered his head and looked at the blue veins on the back of his hands. He had remained unmarried for many years just to take care of his sister. When he was young, it wasn't that no one had introduced him to anyone, but when they heard that he had a paralyzed sister who needed care, most people were not willing. There were one or two who were willing, but he was suspicious and always felt that they would not be as patient as he was with his sister, so they gradually dispersed.
"Besides, I can't waste other people's time. They don't owe me anything, so why should they be our babysitter?" He knew his own limitations well, so with the money he could just ask a relative from the countryside to take care of Kang Yuqiong, and he would concentrate on working and earning a salary to save up medical expenses for his sister.
Shu Jinyue thought to himself, no wonder the security guard expressed his feelings when he first came to see him.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Jin Yue followed him to the Provincial Hospital, another Provincial Hospital, but it was not Mo Shuyi's department.
"Kang Yuqiong's family is here. That's great. We need to talk to you." The attending physician looked at Jin Yue and felt that he looked familiar.
Jin Yue said nothing and followed them.
"Kang Yuqiong's condition is not optimistic. She has not defecated for seven days. Her gastrointestinal pressure is extremely high. If she does not undergo surgery, the obstruction will continue to expand and necrotize, which is likely to cause severe infection and sepsis, and her life will be in danger."
Kang Yongxin nodded.
"But if she undergoes surgery, her body may not be able to withstand it. She may not be able to get off the operating table, or she may develop a serious infection after getting off the operating table. We would like to ask for your opinion now. Should we continue with the surgery, or..." The doctor spoke very implicitly.
Kang Yongxin was silent.
"Also, there is another problem. The patient herself has almost no desire to live and her mentality is not good. Yesterday, she took out the IV twice while no one was paying attention. In the end, our head nurse personally stayed by the bed and watched her complete the infusion."
Kang Yongxin's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He knew about these situations. His sister had done this several times before, but he persuaded her to stop every time. Every time, his reason for persuading her was: after this operation, there will be no more obstruction in the future.
But now, she herself had been deceived too many times and would never believe this clumsy lie again.
Kang Yongxin had a headache and looked at Jin Yue.
Jin Yue was just about to check on the patient's condition when he suddenly heard a commotion in the corridor. A nurse shouted "someone jumped off the building" and he could vaguely hear Kang Yuqiong's name.
Kang Yongxin and the doctor in charge rushed out immediately. The whole department was in an uproar. Jin Yue didn't dare to add to the chaos. He waited until the situation stabilized before going over to the place where the crying came from.
In a ward, Kang Yongxin was holding a thin figure and patting the man's back gently.
The man just kept crying and saying "let me die" in a sad and painful voice.
She felt very uncomfortable if she didn't have a bowel movement for three days, and couldn't have a bowel movement for ten days or half a month. Jin Yue couldn't imagine the pain. On top of that, a young girl in her prime became paralyzed due to an anesthesia accident, and had to undergo repeated surgeries (all of which were major open abdominal surgeries)... Any setback would be a huge blow to an ordinary person.
Kang Yuqiong has endured it all, it would be strange if she had a good attitude.
Just today, she first said she wanted to see the sun outside, so she asked the nurse to carry her to a wheelchair and push her to a seat near the window. Then, when the nurse wasn't paying attention, she wanted to jump off the building.
It was not known whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, she had been paralyzed for too long and was completely powerless. Even though the window was wide open, the windowsill was not very high and she could not climb up after climbing for a long time.
The noise attracted the nurse, which led to the farce that happened just now.
"Brother, just let me die. I've lived enough, really enough..." I don't know what the meaning of such a life is.
"When others go to school, I'm in the hospital. When others get married, I'm having surgery. When others give birth, I'm paralyzed in bed. When others' children can run away, I'm still having surgery repeatedly. My stomach is covered with scars. The old wounds haven't healed yet, and new wounds have appeared again... I've lived enough for so many years. My life will only drag you down. Please fulfill my wish this time, I beg you!" The woman screamed miserably, her voice desperate and hoarse, like a trapped beast.
Jin Yue's eyes became sore as she listened. She had seen many patients trying hard to live, but the one who tried hard to die was the first one.
"When my mother was alive, she burned incense and chanted Buddha's name every day. After she passed away, I ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name every day. You asked me to find a place to rely on, and I did. I copied those messy Buddhist scriptures every day, but what was the result? The Bodhisattva didn't see my sincerity."
Kang Yongxin didn't need to say anything, she muttered to herself, "I've dreamed about my parents every day these past few days. Dad blamed me for getting sick and for losing our Kang family's craftsmanship. Mom also blamed me, saying that my heart was not sincere, otherwise how could the Bodhisattva not save me? The Bodhisattva is the most compassionate, it must be because of my bad behavior that he didn't save me."
It sounds like he's starting to talk nonsense.
Kang Yongxin's eyes were red but he said nothing. His mind told him that maybe his sister was right. If he loved her, he should give her what she wanted. He should not impose his self-righteous "this is for your own good" on her and force her to suffer in this world. He was too selfish!
But emotionally, he couldn't do it.
"Don't push me, let me think about it, okay?"
Kang Yuqiong seemed to see hope and calmed down immediately. "Okay, okay, brother, think about it carefully. I don't need you to do anything. Just leave me alone. Tell them not to bother me. I will push the wheelchair by myself and find a pond. I won't harm anyone. I..."
"Shut up!" Kang Yongxin was furious.
Kang Yuqiong stopped talking and just cried silently.
Shu Jinyue looked at her for a while, and at the same time did not forget to observe Kang Yuqiong's expression. Her face was as pale as paper, and she was very thin, probably less than 60 kilograms. Her bones were thin and long, and her face was as thin as a skeleton.
This is a typical weak physique, with qi and blood deficient to the extreme.
Fearing that she would be disgusted, Jin Yue did not take her pulse right away. Instead, he went to the doctor to get her medical examination list. As expected, her hemoglobin and platelets were very low, indicating severe anemia. If there was bleeding during the operation, it would be unstoppable.
For a patient like this, even if she lies next to a blood bank, doctors cannot guarantee that they can save her life.
Jin Yue looked around but couldn't see where he could start. In this situation, he could only use a laxative first, but the hospital had already used laxatives, both Chinese and Western medicine, and they were completely ineffective. Currently, he could only reduce the pressure on her intestines to save her life first, but no one could tell how long she could be saved.
Kang Yongxin came out, and Jin Yue told him that she was helpless. He was a little disappointed, but thinking of her age and experience, he was not surprised at all. "Forget it, I'll just trouble you to come with me."
"Master Kang, you are too polite. I should apologize for not being able to help." She thought for a moment, "But I still don't want to give up. I want to go in and take Aunt Kang's pulse. Is that okay?"
Kang Yongxin frowned, "She has completely given up treatment now, and doesn't even want to receive an IV. If she is forced to receive treatment, she will bite her tongue. I'm afraid..."
Jin Yue also saw that just now, when the nurse came in to give her an injection, she flew into a rage. Although she looked so thin, she had tremendous strength. She even threw the nurse's treatment tray far away. If she was pushed into a corner, who knows what she would do.
Jin Yue rolled his eyes, "Then just find an excuse. I just heard Aunt Kang say that she believes in Buddhism, right?"
"Well, this is actually my helpless move. I want to find her something to rely on and copy Buddhist scriptures to pass the time."
Perhaps it's more than that. Jin Yue still remembers the first time he met Kang Yongxin, he exuded a smell of incense that contradicted his own temperament.
"Then I'll think of a way." The two of them whispered a few words, and Kang Yongxin's brows relaxed, "It's worth a try."
After leaving the hospital, Jin Yue was thinking about things and went to see her sister-in-law first. She had had enough of Teacher Shu’s cooking and she missed the food cooked by Zhao Wanqiu.
Mengmeng Yaya is almost one month old. Her eyes can move around, but her head still can't move much. When she heard Jin Yue's voice, she opened her eyelids and moved her eyeballs.
"Oh, did you know that your aunt is here? Mengmeng is so well behaved and smart!"
It turns out the one moving the eyes is Mengmeng, and the other one that is a little cuter is Yaya.
The two sisters grew whiter day by day and looked very alike. It was difficult for Jin Yue, who had never raised a child, to tell them apart.
Shu Wenyan is fine now. Since he is just guarding the gate, he simply asked for leave and stayed at home reading books, reviewing and practicing writing every day. Everyone at work thought that he had no elderly people at home and no one to take care of his wife during her confinement, so he had to do it himself. Apart from making fun of him, no one said anything. Even Li Sufen pouted and said that he was not like a man, but she felt jealous in her heart.
Why hasn’t she met a man who can take leave to go home and take care of her during the confinement period?
"When is the exam, brother?"
"The day after tomorrow, three days after the exam, the scores will be released, and the top ten will be admitted."
Shu Wenyan bit the tip of his pen and flipped through the book. Liu Huifang rarely said anything to him. "Go for the exam without worry. If you pass, that's a good thing. If you don't, you can just sit there and watch the gate."
Watching the gate...Shu Wenyan suspected that this wife was born to bring bad luck to him.
Jin Yue held back his laughter, helped Zhao Wanqiu set the table, and ate a sumptuous confinement meal. "Mom, do you still remember the white mosquito net in our house?"
"That year your second brother represented our alley in the sports meet and won the long-distance race?"
"Yes!" Shu Jinyue thought that her mother had a really good memory. She only remembered that there seemed to be a very white mosquito net at home, so white that no one was willing to use it. As for how it came from, she could not remember it at all.
"It's in the travel bag on top of the kang cabinet in our room. Do you want it?"
"Well, use it for a while, and I'll return it to you later."
"Goodbye, give it back to your second brother. They can be used when the weather gets hot."
Shu Wenyan smacked his lips beside him, "Old Second has been unlucky all his life, but he got lucky that time and actually won first place. He represented the district to the city and won first place again. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get such a good prize."
Mosquito nets are not cheap.
It was so unpleasant to hear. Jin Yue was too lazy to listen to him. He played with Meng Meng and Ya Ya for a while and then went home.
Zhao Wanqiu kept the things very well, and they are still very new, very white, and not yellow at all. Jin Yue just did a few simple touches and really got the effect he wanted.
As I was fiddling with it, the owner of the mosquito net came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jin Yue didn't want to tell him what she wanted to do, because he would definitely laugh at her, just like when she was a child, she liked to cover herself with the bed sheets and quilt at home and pretend to be wearing a skirt, but he always laughed at her, saying that she was short and ugly. Every time he made her cry, Teacher Shu would chase him and beat him. In order to comfort her, Teacher Shu would secretly give her pocket money to buy popsicles and candied melon seeds.
In the end, he and Shu Wenyun both said that Teacher Shu was not their biological father, they were picked up from the trash can.
"I want to discuss something with you. Do you want to get rich?" Shu Wenming lowered his voice, looking sly.
"put."
"I have a connection here. You know Dacron? I can get some and sell it for a lot of money."
"Are you crazy? Doing this at this time?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? I definitely won't work in the city. I'll go to the countryside. Li Yulan also wants to get a piece of the pie. She has a wide network of contacts in the countryside, and her family has relatives who are tailors in the commune..." blah blah. He was responsible for raw materials, and Li Yulan was responsible for shipping channels.
"You two are broke, so you count on me, a rich man?" Jin Yue was happy. You know what, she actually had some spare money now. She had just received it in the morning and it wasn't even warm yet.
"How much do you want?"
"How many do you have?"
The brother and sister spoke in unison and smiled at each other. They saw the abacus beads shining with golden light in each other's eyes.
"If I pay, how long will it take to get the money back? You know, I'm in a hurry to use the money."
"One month at most, quick resolution."
And for a month, Jin Yue won't move yet, so she doesn't have to pay for the furniture for the time being. She was tempted, "Then I'll pay 200."
Shu Wenming jumped up and down, "Where did you get so much money?!"
Shu Jinyue couldn't hide it anymore, so he told her about his cooperation with the Chinese medicine factory, "This money is not all mine. In a few days, I want to buy Grandma Hu two new sets of clothes, and buy her some of the food she wants."
It was because of Grandma Hu's introduction that she was able to meet Kang Yongxin. Unfortunately, she was too old and giving her money was useless and would only bring harm. She could only help improve her food, clothing and accommodation conditions.
"Okay, then you pay 200, and Li Yulan and I pay 50 each. After we sell them, we split the money equally among the three of us. How do you think?"
They both have to contribute both their labor and their connections. Jin Yue only has to pay a little more money, and there is no risk of being caught. In the end, she still makes money. "Okay."
As agreed, Jin Yue gave him the money on the spot. He held it against his chest, whistled, and went out.
He didn't go home for dinner in the evening, and didn't get home until after eleven o'clock at night, causing the cats and dogs in the yard to bark for a long time.
Shu Jinyue kept tossing and turning because she was thinking about Kang Yuqiong's illness. To be honest, she didn't think that Chinese medicine could help this patient who was already at the end of her strength. Chinese medicine was not metaphysics, but since Kang Yongxin came to her, she had to try her best to help them.
"Can't sleep?" Shu Wenyun asked from below.
"Um."
"Are you still mad at me?"
Jin Yue was stunned. "Third sister, to be honest, you don't think that you hurt me so badly just because of a nightmare, and I will forgive you as long as you apologize, right?"
Shu Wenyun choked.
"Besides, some injuries are not just what you see with your naked eyes." She really died in the countryside in her previous life, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. She didn't send her to the countryside to die simply for Teacher Shu's sake.
Shu Wenyun was speechless. She knew that whatever she said was just an excuse. She also wanted to make it up to Jin Yue and atone for the mistakes she had made, but Jin Yue was too capable. She seemed to be able to solve all problems. Instead, her relationship with her eldest brother and second brother became closer and closer. Just now, the second brother came back and called her out, and he was muttering excitedly for a long time.
She became a complete outsider in the family.
In the past, Shu Wenyun would be jealous and angry, but now she just hated herself for being so selfish.
She claimed that she was smarter than Jin Yue and more capable of dealing with things than her. If she had gone to the countryside, perhaps she would not have suffered so much, and Jin Yue who stayed in the city would still be a complete person... Of course, she would also remind her not to go out on snowy nights and not to get cold.
Yes, Shu Jinyue had always been bothered by the fact that her little toe was frozen off and had never been able to let it go. When she was a child, there were times when she hated her stepsister, but there were also times when she liked her. She had never expected that because of an inexplicable dream and because of her own selfishness, she would lose a part of her body.
***
The next morning, while waiting for news from Kang Yongxin, Jin Yue was a little absent-minded at work. He looked outside and then at the time.
"Is there something wrong with Jin Yue? If so, just leave. I will cover you." Liu Jinbu said in a low voice.
"It's okay, Brother Liu, is there something wrong with you?"
"Hehe, it's not a big deal. My daughter has a parent-teacher meeting this afternoon. My hair is really oily and I haven't washed it in a few days. I also smell..."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Someone will call you if there's anything."
Liu Jinbu had just left happily when Zhu Daqiang came in. "He ran away again? He just hangs around the stove all day long. He's not a man at all."
Zhu Daqiang is a typical male chauvinist. He never does any housework and is often proud of it. He can't stand Liu Jinbu's "little man" behavior.
"Jin Yue, someone's looking for you!" the security guard called out outside. Zhu Daqiang took action first. "Are you here to see me again? Sun Yuli will definitely call you a miracle doctor when he returns to the village."
Unexpectedly, the group of people who came over were dressed like cadres, some of them wore glasses, and they looked like intellectuals at first glance.
"Doctor Shu, I finally found you!" Shi Xuehai rushed over, held Jin Yue's hand tightly and shook it hard.
Jin Yue was also very surprised. She thought that her second brother's words about expert Shi coming to discuss the matter with her in person were just polite talk, but who knew that he actually came!
Not only did he come in person, he also brought——
"Let me introduce you. This is the doctor Shu Jinyue that I've been talking about. The people around me are members of our Longguo Blood Disease Prevention and Treatment Association. This is Expert Li from Jingshi Hospital, this is Expert Zhang from Haicheng Hospital, and this one..."
Blah blah, Jin Yue and Zhu Daqiang were completely confused by the introductions of a bunch of "experts". It turns out that these are the most powerful experts in the treatment of blood diseases in the country, and they come from all over the country.
The most powerful experts Zhu Daqiang usually came into contact with were doctors from the provincial hospital. These doctors came from major famous hospitals across the country, and he had only heard of the names of the hospitals at most. He was dumbfounded for a moment and didn't know what to do.
It was Sister Qiao who heard the noise and quickly invited everyone into the office. She also called several other sisters and aunts, some to boil water, some to make tea, and to call Director Niu... The experts were of too high a level, and even the director of the street office might not be able to receive them.
Director Niu was also trembling with fear when he came down. He didn't recognize any of these experts, but two of them were wearing military uniforms with bright stars on their epaulettes. He knew a little about them and knew that they were of high rank, just like those in Beijing where officials can be found everywhere. If they were in the provinces, they would be big leaders.
"Several leaders have come to guide our work. On behalf of Xinqiao Subdistrict, I welcome you all. I am very happy to welcome you."
Shi Xuehai responded humorously, giving him enough face, and then turned to talk to Jin Yue about business, "It's like this, we just held an academic conference in Haicheng a few days ago, talking about the experience of treating blood diseases. I mentioned that you used Qinghuang Powder to treat Xu Wenli's leukemia, and my colleagues were very interested."
More than just interest, no one believed it at first. If it weren't for the fact that he was an authority in the industry, they would have suspected that he was exaggerating the facts. But after seeing the examination data recorded in his notebook, especially the changes after each dose of medicine, their faces changed immediately and they asked to come and see it in person.
It was the first time for Shu Jinyue to face so many experts. She was a little scared and didn't know what to say because of her nervousness. Fortunately, she had already sorted out Xu Wenli's medical records into a book, which was in her drawer.
After everyone passed it around, someone started asking, "Does Qinghuangsan really only have two kinds of medicine?"
“No other ingredients added?”
Jin Yue nodded, "Currently, the earliest source of this prescription that can be verified is "Shiyi Dexiao Fang" and "Qixiao Liangfang", and there are different opinions about its composition. I use the most concise version because I have seen a record of its use in an old doctor's medical works..." He was talking about the ancestor of the Hu family, who was once a famous doctor in Shilan Province.
Upon hearing that the case was cured in Suzhou, the doctor in Haicheng immediately became interested and asked the patient's name and hometown. Although nearly a hundred years had passed, if they could find out this information, maybe they could even find the patient's descendants.
Then, we can know how many years she survived - survival time is an important indicator to test whether the treatment is effective.
Jin Yue didn't expect that they would be so inquiring, but he didn't dare to underestimate them and told them all the information he knew.
"Okay, we will verify this earliest case that can be examined so far. Can we meet Comrade Xu Wenli now?"
Jin Yue didn't agree immediately. He called the grocery store first and asked his second sister-in-law for her opinion in person. He took everyone there only after she said it was okay.
The experts were picked up by a car sent by the reception department of the Provincial Health Department. Jin Yue also had the honor of riding in the Health Department's car. When they arrived at the vegetable store, they saw Xu Wenli, with a ruddy complexion, busy weighing and bundling vegetables for the elderly. No one could believe that she was a cancer "patient."
"Well, I've been in complete remission for a while, so I'm not considered a patient."
"You are not currently receiving chemotherapy, nor taking imported medicine?"
"No, I didn't even take Chinese medicine. Jin Yue told me to give my body a break." Xu Wenli smiled brightly. "Experts, if you have anything you want to know, just ask me. I will tell you the truth. I hope to promote Chinese medicine so that more patients can see the hope of rebirth."
This beautiful wish came from a patient who almost died of a terminal illness. It couldn't be more sincere. One female expert even had tears in her eyes. "Comrade Xu Wenli, congratulations on your new life. If this prescription is really effective, we will definitely find a way to promote it so that more patients and families can benefit from it."
"It's effective, of course it's effective!" Xu Wenli explained loudly and stretched out her hand again. The bruises and purple spots caused by subcutaneous bleeding were gone, and her hand was white and clean.
Jin Yue held his second sister-in-law's arm, who was even more excited than himself and like an enthusiastic salesperson.
"Comrade Xu, don't worry. We will go into the laboratory to conduct pharmacology and toxicology research to see if this prescription is effective. If conditions permit, we will also conduct clinical trials and let the data speak for itself."
The sisters in the street office may not be good at other things, but they are good at eating melons and spreading gossip. They talked one after another, and when Jin Yue brought the experts back to the office, the version passed to Director Niu had become -
Doctor Shu at the epidemic prevention station cured several cases of leukemia with his own secret recipe, which alarmed the higher-ups, who sent a team of experts to conduct an investigation...and in order to welcome the expert team's investigation, Director Niu was so honored that he specially set aside a meeting room for their discussions.
The discussion lasted for nearly three hours, and until the end of get off work, Jin Yue had not finished answering everyone's questions. The topics of discussion ranged from the experience of treating leukemia to the formula structure of Qinghuangsan, to the types of diseases that Chinese medicine has advantages in, and finally to why she studied Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine.
Shu Jinyue answered all the questions seriously and shamelessly asked for the contact information of all the experts. These are all resources. In case he encounters difficult and complicated problems that cannot be solved in the future, he needs to know talented people before he can ask for help, right? She actually wanted to promote Qinghuang San, but as the saying goes, because of the toxicity of the drug itself, the controversy and judgment that this harmful treatment method would face after it was released would be something she, a young Chinese medicine practitioner, could not bear.
The death of the young soldier who fell ill at the same time as her second sister-in-law deeply touched her. When she wanted to do something for them, the appearance of a group of authoritative experts in blood diseases led by Shi Xuehai provided her with an incision to open up the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of serious diseases.
Thinking of this, Jin Yue restrained his expression and walked up to Shi Xuehai, "Teacher Shi, you know Xu Wenli's condition best, from suspicion to diagnosis, to the use and replacement of imported drugs, hepatosplenomegaly, and starting to take Qinghuang Powder. I have also consulted you and received your support. If there is a need to trace this case in the future, I will definitely cooperate with you."
Shi Xuehai nodded. "Don't worry. The recipe you provided is a good opportunity. It may become an important weapon for us to conquer leukemia. If I have any questions, I will contact you again."
"At the same time, if Chinese medicine is useful, we no longer need to be controlled by others and no longer need to spend a lot of money to buy imported medicines. This will be a blessing for tens of thousands of families."
Jin Yue happily took people to the state-owned restaurant that Director Niu had booked, and accompanied Director Niu and several district leaders to have dinner with the expert group.
She was originally worried about what to do if she couldn't speak and was not good at socializing, but she forgot that she was the key person in this investigation and she didn't need to take the initiative to find topics. Naturally, someone would be willing to lead the conversation to her.
When she returned to the office, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. The person on duty came to tell her that a man named Kang Yongxin had called her at noon. She immediately knew that the matter was settled.
After get off work, Xu Duan came to pick her up, and the two of them went to Canteen No. 6 opposite their unit to have dinner together.
"Eat something light, since we just had a big meal at noon."
Xu Duan raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Jin Yue couldn't hold it in any longer, and immediately told everything that happened that morning. "I heard that they are going to look for the descendants of the woman that the Hu family's ancestor had treated, and they want to take the indigo and realgar to the laboratory for research, especially the dosage of realgar, how many grams will damage the liver and kidneys, how many grams will cause irreversible damage, and how many grams is the lethal dose."
"Of course, as I said, I don't know whether this prescription is effective for all types of leukemia in clinical practice. Maybe it just happens to be effective for chronic myeloid leukemia, but not for others. Anyway, they have to do their own research."
It has to be said that at any time, the investment in scientific research projects and funds in clinical medicine is much higher than that in traditional Chinese medicine. If you want to conduct such a costly and controversial research in the traditional Chinese medicine community, the application itself may not be approved.
Xu Duan listened to her complaints quietly, occasionally responded and gave her some advice as an amateur, which was always to the point.
Jin Yue's eyes were almost full of admiration, "How do you know so much?"
“I have some exposure to the field I’m working in.”
Actually, that’s not the case. Because she is young, he is worried about her and always follows her to learn more about the medical field. He doesn’t understand the professional aspects, but he knows more about the policies and macro things than he does now.
Jin Yue didn't know this and really believed his nonsense. "Oh, by the way, you said you haven't been home for dinner, does Sister Bao have any objection?"
Xu Duan laughed and asked, "How about not mentioning her?"
Jin Yue blushed. She was narrow-minded and wanted to point it out. "Does your nephew Xu Siqi have a girlfriend?"
“Not sure.”
"Look at what an uncle you are. Ask him to invite his girlfriend to your house one day so they can get to know each other." Jin Yue had bad intentions. Although she would not bother with Shu Wenyun for the time being, she really wanted to see what expression the heroine's sister would have when she suddenly found out that she, a cannon fodder, was dating the biggest boss in the book.
It’s not that I want to piss her off, I just want to see the heroine’s ability to respond.
Xu Duan knew as soon as he saw her expression, "You have bad intentions, right?"
Jin Yue narrowed his eyes, like a satisfied lazy kitten. His hands were itchy, so he scratched her nose, "The food is on my nose."
"Not unless I see."
He stretched out his index finger, and there was indeed a grain of white rice on the tip of his finger.
There is a reason why the business of the Sixth Canteen is so good. Not only are the dishes delicious and filling, but even the rice is softer, stickier and sweeter than other places. To the carbohydrate-minded Shu Jinyue, a grain of rice is not just a grain of rice, it is a sweet grain of rice...
She couldn't help but move closer, as if she wanted to smell the aroma of the rice.
Her breath fell evenly on his hands, warm and cool, and the man's eyes deepened.
The more he succeeded, the more he thought to himself: Humph, I wonder how long you can control yourself! Excluding the two months when they had a conflict, they had actually been flirting for quite a long time. They had been official boyfriend and girlfriend for a while now, but he was still so formal that they hadn't even held hands formally.
He could hold it back, but she couldn't hold it back any longer!
After dinner, Jin Yue asked Xu Duan to go to the hospital with her and met Kang Yongxin at the door.
Kang Yongxin almost didn't recognize her. He stared at her for two seconds and said, "It's really you."
After a day of rest, he was still listless, with red eyes and messy hair, but he still hoped that Jin Yue's method would work. "I'll go in first and draw the curtains of the ward. Wait until she falls asleep, then you can go in."
Xu Duan looked at Shu Jinyue. She had just finished her meal when she took out a bunch of cosmetics and fiddled with them. She drew her eyebrows into curved shapes, her eyes looked a little different from herself, and there was a pink spot on each cheek... How to put it, this girl in her early twenties suddenly looked a little kind.
After a while, they arrived at the door of the ward and heard faint breathing sounds coming from inside, slightly deeper than usual, indicating that the patient was asleep.
***
Kang Yuqiong did not sleep well that night. She always felt there was some movement in the room, but she no longer cared. She refused any injections or food for two consecutive days, just waiting for that moment to come.
She thought that as long as she was willing, her brother would not make things difficult for her.
As for what kind of noises there were, who came in and who went out, what did it have to do with a living dead like her?
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a light in the room. She opened her eyes and saw a female Guanyin dressed in white gauze and holding a white jade bottle, floating in front of her... Kang Yuqiong rubbed her eyes. It was real. A beam of warm white light accompanied the female Guanyin.
She couldn't sit up, so she could only look up, twist her neck, and look at the kind-looking Goddess of Mercy. She blinked in disbelief, "Are you the real Goddess of Mercy?"
Goddess Guanyin just smiled without saying a word, just looking at her quietly and warmly.
This is what the empress looked like in the portrait. Kang Yuqiong did not doubt it and asked devoutly, "Are you here to pick me up?"
Guanyin said in a friendly manner, "No."
"I have never done anything bad in my life. Over the years, I have sincerely copied so many Buddhist scriptures. I..."
“Shut up. There are three things that the Buddha will not save: one, those who have no affinity with you; two, those who have no faith; and three, those who have no wishes. Do you know what mistake you have made?” Even when the Bodhisattva is angry, his eyes are kind.
"I don't know."
"You claim to be a sincere believer in Buddhism, but in fact you are just a fool. This is not your destiny. You promised your parents that you would try your best to live, but now you are trying to commit suicide. This is not your faith. Now you are wholeheartedly seeking death, without any desires or requests, and lack a positive attitude. This is not your wish." The Bodhisattva said in a rather harsh tone, "Are you convinced?"
Everything, one by one, was what she had done in the past few years, and she couldn't refute a single word.
The scene of her parents holding her hands before they died appeared in her mind. They entrusted her to her brother. Then the scene changed and she saw her brother carrying her on his back, stumbling on the muddy road in the rain. The raincoat was draped over her. Her brother was soaked all over. The cold rain dripped down his hair. Her tears also fell on his neck.
Rainwater is cool, tears are hot.
Her brother immediately comforted her, telling her not to be afraid and not to cry, that he would never abandon her and would heal her…The scene then changed to a snowy day, and he was wearing a tattered cotton coat, carrying her, who was wrapped warmly in a military coat, and walking towards the hospital step by step on the crunching snow.
…
There were countless rainy nights and snowy days like this. He grew from a young man to a middle-aged man. His temples and beard turned white, and his back became hunched.
And when she thought about her state in recent years, how she had been trying to commit suicide at every turn, and how she had been losing her temper at her brother and forcing him to let her die, Kang Yuqiong suddenly burst into tears. She burst into tears and clasped her hands together: "My queen, you are right. I am not a good person and don't deserve to go with you. I deserve it. I..."
"Shut up. It's a great help to know your mistakes and then improve them. As long as you realize your mistakes, there is still a chance to save them."
"No matter how you save me, I won't be able to live for many days. I..."
"Wait a minute, your life span is not over yet, it's too early to say you're dead. If you don't believe me, let me take a look for you."
Kang Yuqiong was scolded by her, saying "shut up" left and right. She dared not say anything and just stretched out her hand obediently.
She thought to herself that the Bodhisattva was indeed a Bodhisattva, her body was warm and soft, unlike her who was about to die... Well, she did not dare to raise her eyes to look at him any longer, after all, in her mind, this was blasphemy.
She only knew that the Bodhisattva looked particularly kind and benevolent today.
