Chapter 943: Taking Doctor Yu's Pulse for a Consultation
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming rushed to Gancaotang.
In the backyard where spring flowers were blooming, Old Qin, Old Ye, an even older man, Old Bai, the plaster king, Old Liu, the poison king, and several other old comrades, as well as Doctor Wang Wu, Gu Qingran and others, were sitting around a low octagonal table, drinking tea and chatting.
This scene made Yu Zhiming feel much brighter.
After getting to know Mr. Duan, an old Chinese medicine practitioner from Northeast China, Yu Zhiming said cheerfully, "You all seem so relaxed and at ease, I'm sure you've gained a lot."
"Tell me what exactly happened?"
Old Qin sighed softly and said, "Thanks to Mr. Duan's help, we were able to gain something."
"But this harvest is not even satisfactory."
At this time, Doctor Ye Peng brought a bowl of black medicine and placed it on the low eight-immortal table.
Qin Lao introduced: "Doctor Yu, this is the alternative decoction we brainstormed and came up with."
"The efficacy is about 20% of that of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill!"
Only 20%?!
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but frown.
One ginseng life-extending pill can provide strong support to the patient for about three or four days.
According to existing trial information, patients in good physical condition and with relatively mild cancer symptoms can recover from high fever in just over a day after receiving CAR-T treatment.
However, patients who are weak, have many metastatic lesions, and are in relatively serious condition may need two to three days, or even three to four days, to survive the severe reaction period of CAR-T treatment.
A ginseng life-extending pill has a perfect effect.
However, the efficacy of this alternative decoction is only 20% of that of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill. Simply put, it can provide patients with about seven or eight hours of support.
This... is far from enough.
"Can it be taken multiple times?" Yu Zhiming asked with concern.
Qin Lao explained: "You can take a second dose, but the effectiveness of the second dose will be greatly reduced to 30%."
"If you take a third dose right afterward, the effect will be minimal."
Yu Zhiming just grimaced. He had to take two doses of medicine in succession to provide ten hours of support.
It's still far from enough.
“What’s the cost?”
Old Qin continued, "The main ingredient of this decoction is the essence extracted from fifty twenty-year-old ginseng trees, plus other herbs. We roughly calculated the cost to be around fifty-five thousand."
This cost made Yu Zhiming grin.
The cost of the ginseng life-extending pill was only about 30,000 yuan per pill fifty years ago, before the price of wild ginseng skyrocketed.
Alternative drugs that are only 20% as effective cost almost double the price.
The so-called low quality and high price are all compliments to it.
The only benefit is that the source of medicinal materials will be continuous and there will be no more bottlenecks.
Gu Qingran took over and said, "Zhi Ming, the cost can actually be cut down further."
"The ginseng residue after extracting the essence from 20-year-old forest ginseng can be used as the main ingredient in the production of ginseng health pills."
Yu Zhiming asked, "The lowest grade ginseng life-extending pill?"
Gu Qingran nodded and said, "Although it is the lowest grade, long-term use can still have quite good health-promoting effects. This is especially true for the elderly and those who are weak and frail."
"This was personally certified by Elder Qin, Elder Ye, Elder Bai, Elder Liu, and Elder Duan."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "I'm not very interested in health-promoting pills. I'm most interested in this alternative decoction."
“Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.”
He looked at Gu Qingran and asked, "Shouldn't those three Germans receive CAR-T treatment?"
Gu Qingran nodded and said, "They are recovering quite well. They should be back next week."
Yu Zhiming decided: "Let's test it on them to verify the real effect of this alternative decoction."
Gu Qingran said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will have people make serious preparations."
After deciding this matter, Yu Zhiming turned his gaze to Elder Qin, Elder Ye and the others and said, "You have all worked tirelessly and tirelessly over the past week."
"I don't have much to say, except that my body exploration skills are pretty good."
"If you don't mind, how about I give you a physical examination?"
Old Qin chuckled softly and said, "It's said that Doctor Yu's body scans are unparalleled in the world. He can not only detect the budding of diseases, but also diseases that have not yet occurred in the future."
"I won't miss such a rare opportunity for a physical examination."
Elder Ye, Elder Bai, and Elder Liu all expressed that such an opportunity should not be missed...
To facilitate the physical examination, everyone moved to an acupuncture room on the second floor of Gancaotang.
After some pushing and shoving, the oldest traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Mr. Duan, was the first to lie on the acupuncture bed and receive a physical examination from Yu Zhiming.
When checking Mr. Duan's heart and lungs, Yu Zhiming's face suddenly changed.
After Yu Zhiming finished examining Mr. Duan's internal organs, his expression was so heavy that it seemed as if water droplets were about to condense out.
This allowed Mr. Duan, who had poor eyesight, to notice something unusual about Yu Zhiming.
"Doctor Yu, I'm already ninety-two years old, and I've become indifferent to life and death. If you have any findings, feel free to tell me."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Mr. Duan, your internal organs appear to be powerful, but to me, they feel like they're desperately sprinting, squeezing out all their potential."
When Mr. Qin and Mr. Ye heard this, they immediately understood what Yu Zhiming meant.
This means that Mr. Duan's health is deteriorating and he will soon run out of energy.
They looked at Duan Lao's youngest son, who had brought him here and had been in charge of taking care of him these days, and found that he had a sad look on his face.
Obviously, he knew about his father's physical condition long ago.
Yu Zhiming asked again: "Mr. Duan, have you taken any tonic medicine?"
Elder Duan, who was sitting on the acupuncture bed, did not answer but asked, "Doctor Yu, you are able to examine my internal condition so clearly. Your reputation is well-deserved."
"So, how much time do you think I have left?"
Yu Zhiming was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "At least one and a half months, at most three months."
Mr. Duan nodded again and said, "It's roughly consistent with my judgment."
He chuckled again and said, "At the end of my life, I'm fortunate enough to be able to collaborate with some of the country's top experts, to be able to make a small contribution to Dr. Yu's cancer treatment, and to use my old bones to earn a fortune like five million for my children and grandchildren. That's more than enough."
Yu Zhiming felt a little sad when he heard this.
"Mr. Duan, you should have taken the tonic medicine before coming to Binhai, right? If you hadn't taken that tonic that was considered as powerful as a tiger or wolf, you should have been able to hold on for about a year, right?"
Mr. Duan said softly, "Although I took it before coming here, I had this plan a long time ago."
He sighed again, "You know your own body best. I don't want to spend the last few months bedridden. I might even become confused and incontinent."
"Your invitation not only helped me make up my mind in advance, but also made my decision more valuable and meaningful."
Old Duan chuckled again and said, "I'm already ninety-two. Even if I close my eyes tonight, it will be a happy death."
"Hey, who's next for the inspection?"
Although the story of Mr. Duan was sad, except for the Gu brothers and sisters, everyone in the room was a medical worker. They were used to seeing life and death, and they quickly adjusted their mentality.
The second person lying on the acupuncture bed was Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin's health was well maintained. After a thorough examination, Yu Zhiming found nothing worth mentioning.
Next is Mr. Ye.
Mr. Ye’s problem is lumbar bone hyperplasia, and his left arm suffered a serious trauma in his early years, which caused severe wear and tear on his left elbow joint and caused pain.
The problem of the plaster king Bai Lao is diabetes.
However, he controlled it quite well, and Yu Zhiming only found mild organ damage caused by diabetes.
When Yu Zhiming was examining the Poison King Liu, his facial expression changed noticeably again.
This made Old Qin, Old Ye and others beside him feel anxious.
Elder Liu spoke first and asked, "Have you discovered that my liver and kidney problems are serious?"
Yu Zhiming nodded.
Elder Liu added, "I often need to test the medicines I prepare myself to ensure they are effective. Over the years, it's normal for the liver and kidneys to be damaged."
He further explained, "Don't worry, I have my own methods for protecting my liver and kidneys. Given my current condition, I should be fine if I persist for another ten or eight years."
"As for after that, he will be an old man in his eighties. He will die if he wants to."
This person is really free and easy.
But since he said so, Yu Zhiming suppressed his worries and did not tell anyone about his examination findings.
After Mr. Liu stood up, Yu Zhiming turned his gaze to Dr. Wang Wu standing beside him.
He chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu and I are in the same hospital, so there are plenty of physical examination opportunities. I won't need one today, so it will give Doctor Yu some peace of mind."
These words made Yu Zhiming feel depressed.
To be frank, anyone who knows Yu Zhiming's abilities would never complain that the physical examinations he performs on them are too many.
The most likely reason for making such excuses is that he knows there is something wrong with his body and needs to hide it?
At this time, Wang Wu urged Qin Qiushi, Ye Peng and others, saying, "Hurry up, don't keep Doctor Yu waiting..."
Yu Zhiming, filled with doubts and worries, completed the physical examination of Qin Qiushi, Ye Peng, and the children of Mr. Duan, Mr. Bai, Mr. Liu and others. Then, Wang Wu's voice rang in his ears again.
"Doctor Yu's examination is complete."
"Hey, fellow traditional Chinese medicine experts, would you please also check with Dr. Yu?"
Wang Wu advised, "You must be familiar with Dr. Yu's early years. Look at him now, he's quite frail."
"To be frank, Dr. Yu will be the leading figure in our medical field for the next 50 years."
"His health is no small matter."
Old Qin chuckled and said, "Doctor Wang is right. Let's take Doctor Yu's pulse together and make a diagnosis."
