The autumn wind is chilly, and a cool breeze is blowing gently!
It's another Saturday off.
After having breakfast, Su Zhengnan originally planned to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly, his fifth senior brother, Li Huai'an, called and asked him to accompany him to a place.
Su Zhengnan naturally couldn't refuse, so he took a taxi and headed to the First People's Hospital of Beijing.
When Su Zhengnan arrived at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First People's Hospital of Beijing.
Li Huai'an happened to be coming out of his office and downstairs. As soon as he saw Su Zhengnan, he greeted him, "Come on, junior brother, I'll take you somewhere."
Where are we going?
Looking at Li Huai'an, who was dressed in casual clothes, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but ask with curiosity.
Li Huai'an said with a serious expression, "You'll find out when you come with me. When we get there, observe more and speak less, and try to talk as little as possible unless necessary."
"Um?"
Su Zhengnan was a little confused. While following Li Huai'an, he continued to ask:
"What's going on? Fifth Senior Brother, why are you talking so strangely? Why can't I speak in a certain place?"
You'll see when you get there.
Li Huai'an said something casually, and then led Su Zhengnan directly to the hospital parking lot.
As the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First People's Hospital of Beijing, Li Huai'an drives a Mercedes-Benz C-Class worth around 400,000 yuan, which is neither particularly good nor bad.
Su Zhengnan opened the passenger door and got in without asking any questions.
He knew that his senior brother would tell him when they arrived at the destination.
Then, Li Huai'an started the car and drove away.
Li Huai'an didn't say a word the whole way, and his expression seemed quite serious, which made Su Zhengnan a little nervous.
More than half an hour later.
Li Huai'an drove to the Beijing Military Region Hospital, and then hurriedly took Su Zhengnan to the inpatient department of the emergency department.
Um?
It's actually a military hospital?
Su Zhengnan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the person his senior brother mentioned meeting was here.
It's important to know that this Beijing Military Region Hospital is different from other hospitals; those who can be hospitalized here are basically either military personnel or people who have made contributions to the country.
Su Zhengnan was curious about who his fifth senior brother had brought him here to see.
Li Huai'an remained silent the entire way, and quickly led Su Zhengnan to the inpatient department of the military hospital.
A man who looked to be around fifty-three years old, wearing a white coat, stood at the entrance of the inpatient department and came up to greet Li Huai'an as soon as he appeared.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Li. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."
He Zhesheng smiled and reached out to shake hands with Li Huai'an, appearing quite enthusiastic.
"Director He, you're too kind. Let's go check on the patient's condition first!"
Li Huai'an smiled and nodded, then pointed to Su Zhengnan behind him and said, "This is my junior brother Su Zhengnan. Junior brother, this is Director He of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Military Region Hospital."
"Hello Director He, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Su Zhengnan quickly reached out and shook hands with the other person. He naturally wouldn't want to embarrass his senior brother at this time.
He Zhesheng smiled slightly and said, "Su Zhengnan, right? I've heard of you. You're Elder Gu's last disciple, aren't you? I didn't expect you to be so handsome and dashing. It seems Elder Gu has chosen a good disciple!"
"Hehe, Director He, you're too kind."
Su Zhengnan was still polite to the director of the military hospital.
At this moment, Li Huai'an, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Let's go, Director He, tell me about the patient's condition."
"Okay, okay!!"
He Zhesheng nodded, then led them upstairs to the wards, explaining as he went:
"The patient is a family member of a martyr. He is only in his early sixties, but he collapsed as soon as he fell ill. He was rushed to our hospital for emergency treatment the night before last. Many doctors have seen him in the past few days, but none of them have a good way to treat him."
"We initially suspected it was viral meningitis. We originally wanted to ask Mr. Gu to come and take a look, but considering that Mr. Gu's health makes it difficult for him to move around, we thought of you, Director Li."
"Family of a martyr? No wonder!"
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, no wonder this patient was able to be admitted to the military hospital.
Judging from the patient's age, they should be the father or mother of a martyr, but it is unknown whether the patient is male or female.
Li Huai'an nodded slightly and said, "Let me see the patient first. I heard that Elder Mu came here before?"
"Ah, yes, Elder Mu came before."
He Zhesheng nodded in agreement, "However, Elder Mu didn't have any solutions after looking at it. He said he would go back and look through ancient books, but he hasn't replied yet."
"......"
Upon hearing what the other party said, Li Huai'an sensed that the patient's condition was probably very troublesome, and he might not be able to handle it.
It should be noted that Master Mu was a national master of traditional Chinese medicine, on par with his teacher.
Although Elder Mu is not as good as Elder Gu in some aspects, his medical skills are truly remarkable, otherwise he wouldn't be said to be on par with Elder Gu.
However, Elder Mu is more than ten years younger than Elder Gu.
Soon, the group arrived at a ward on the sixth floor.
Beep beep beep.....
Upon entering the ward, one is greeted by an elderly man lying on a hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask, with a heart rate monitor constantly beeping beside him.
The elderly man in the hospital bed was emaciated and looked extremely thin, and his body would occasionally convulse.
He Zhesheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, the old man was quite robust when he was brought here, but he has become so thin in just three days. We have tried all sorts of methods, but the effects have been minimal."
The elderly woman in front of me is named Yang Muqing. She has four children in total, three boys and one girl.
However, his two sons had already sacrificed their lives, and his last son was wounded in battle. His daughter was a medic in the army, so they could be considered a family of martyrs.
If an elderly person suddenly falls ill like this, the authorities will naturally spare no effort to save their life.
As the saying goes: "Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow!"
The old man's daughter sat beside him, weeping. She had taken leave to be with her father, but as a sanitation worker, she was helpless to help him with his illness.
Li Huai'an frowned and glanced at it, then said, "Let me take the old man's pulse first!"
As he spoke, Li Huai'an stepped forward, grabbed the old man's wrist, and began to take his pulse.
However, this pulse diagnosis.
Li Huai'an then noticed that the old man's pulse showed signs of poor circulation and leakage of yang energy!
This is a struggle between Yin and Yang, superficial in appearance, but it is the pulse of impending death.
Su Zhengnan stood aside without saying a word, but carefully observed the old man's expression and gleaned some clues from it.
But he didn't say anything.
Since his senior brother Li Huai'an was still taking his pulse, he, as the junior brother, couldn't take over unless his senior brother spoke first.
a long time.
Li Huai'an sighed softly, stood up, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "The patient's pulse is very weak, and the condition is a bit serious. I may not have any good treatment options. Perhaps you should ask my teacher to take a look!"
"ah?"
He Zhesheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say.
If he had known earlier that Li Huai'an was not capable, he would have just invited Old Master Gu directly. Why go through all this trouble?
Li Huai'an knew that his medical skills might be inadequate, or perhaps the old man's condition was too severe for him to treat.
"I'm sorry, Director He, even Elder Mu couldn't diagnose this illness, so I'm at a loss as well!"
Li Huai'an couldn't help but sigh. He was truly powerless to help with this illness. He should have known better than to have come here so confidently.
Isn't this just like slapping yourself in the face?
Su Zhengnan stood aside and watched for a moment, then suddenly asked, "May I take the old man's pulse?"
"Huh? You?"
Li Huai'an glanced at his junior brother with some surprise, then thought about it and realized that his junior brother might actually have a solution, since he even knew acupuncture anesthesia.
"How about... I let my junior brother take a look?"
Li Huai'an turned to He Zhesheng and said.
He Zhesheng glanced at him and said, "Then let's take a look!"
For He Zhesheng, it made no difference whether Su Zhengnan looked at him or not; he didn't believe that the young Su Zhengnan could cure the old man's illness.
This is clearly a situation where more air is being exhaled than taken in.
Even they, a group of people, couldn't see it clearly, so what could a mere kid possibly figure out?
However, considering that the other party was, after all, Master Gu's apprentice, He Zhesheng did not stop him.
Su Zhengnan stepped forward, grabbed the old man's wrist, and began to take his pulse.
Upon taking the pulse, he sensed that the old man's pulse was indeed as his senior brother had described: very thin and weak, with a thin and weak pulse at the cunkou point, yet it also had a slippery and firm feel.
Although this pulse pattern looks complicated, it might still be worth a try.
Su Zhengnan frowned slightly, looked up at Li Huai'an and said:
"Senior brother, although this old man's pulse is weak, it still feels somewhat firm. Perhaps there is still hope."
"Huh? Is there still hope?"
A look of shock flashed across Li Huai'an's face. He really didn't know where his junior brother got his confidence from.
The old man's pulse was so weak and disordered that it was a clear sign that he was about to die.
Is there any hope for this?
Li Huai'an could hardly believe his ears, staring wide-eyed at Su Zhengnan and asking:
Are you sure this patient can be saved? Are you confident?
It wasn't that Li Huai'an didn't believe Su Zhengnan's words, but rather that the patient in front of him had a rather special condition.
This is not something to joke about.
"Oh, really? There's still hope for my dad?"
However.
Su Zhengnan hadn't even had a chance to speak.
The patient's family member standing nearby immediately stood up, grabbed Su Zhengnan's arm, and pressed him for an answer.
Su Zhengnan blinked, momentarily stunned, then nodded earnestly and replied, "There's still hope!"
