267- Saving Lives (救人)

“Mom, this is the miracle doctor introduced by Old Man Xu…” the woman looked at the old lady with some difficulty and said.

The old lady looked to be around 70-80 years old; she had a very skinny body, with age spots all over her skin; she was skinny to the point that one can see her skeletal structure with the naked eye.

Hearing the woman’s words, the old lady instantly stood up and shouted, “Miracle doctor?! Are you the miracle doctor? You must save my grandson!”

The corners of Jing Yun Zhao twitched when she heard the old lady. After all, she was always doubted by others, but now that there was someone easily calling her a miracle doctor, it was a little uncomfortable.

The woman let out a sigh and said, “ Mom, Li er’s condition is already… adding on to the fact that this miracle doctor is so young, and Old Man Xu also refuses to come…”

“SHUT UP!” the old lady who previously had a pleading face suddenly turned cold in the next second and said, “Old Man Xu is a respectable person and would never lie; since this doctor was introduced by Old Man Xu, she obviously would be the real deal. Adding onto the fact that when we brought Li er to see all those doctors that looked wise and unfathomable, wasn’t the end result still the same?”

The woman choked back her words and simply said, “That’s true.”

With that, the woman turned towards Jing Yun Zhao, gave a little cough and continued, “Miracle doctor, I didn’t mean to doubt your credibility, I hope that you won’t be angry and check my son’s condition.”

The kindness of the patient’s family was beyond Jing Yun Zhao’s expectations, but the more she thought about it, she realized that the world was filled with normal people with common sense, and people like Qin Zhi Xue were a rarity.

Jing Yun Zhao nodded her head and went to the bed to check the boy’s condition. After a glance, she was shocked.

Seeing the unconscious boy with extremely faint breathing and an ice-cold body, the difference between him and a dead person was minuscule. However the fact that Old Man Xu gave a patient with such severe symptoms must mean that the patient could still be saved.

Jing Yun Zhao then measured his pulse and found out that it was volatile and sunken, and it was due to deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang, dysfunction of the internal organs, loss of nourishment for the heart, and lack of blood flow in the heart, resulting in qi stagnation, phlegm obstruction, blood stasis, and water-drink suppression of the heart’s yang energy (C: ngl, I’m a lil confused, but basically he’s sick :D)

“Does he suffer from epilepsy?” Jing Yun Zhao asked as she noticed something else other than the heart failure the patient was suffering from.

Hearing Jing Yun Zhao’s comment, the old lady’s eyes lit up as she eagerly replied, “You’re correct, my grandson suffered from a brain injury when he was born. As a result, he would fall ill every year ever since he was 1 years old, and if it was serious he would suffer from it multiple times a day. We scoured throughout the hospitals in Ning City, both big and small for treatment to no avail, and a few days ago we received news about a new drug that could help in my grandson’s recovery hence why my son bought some for my grandson. However, who knew that the child would start suffering after ingesting the medicine, and he had to be brought to the hospital, yet it was still useless. At the moment, we were about to accept reality when we heard about the master in medicine who resides in Hua Ning County, and this was how we got your contact information…”

The old lady was very meticulous in her explanation, for fear that a single missed detail would affect her grandson’s condition.

When the lady finished, she gave Jing Yun Zhao the medicine box that her son bought. However Jing Yun Zhao couldn’t understand as the box was written with medical terms from the West.

“The hospital also said that the toxicity content of this medicine was high but we didn’t take them seriously as we’ve bought lots of different types of medicine before…” the woman at the side also added on.

Jing Yun Zhao nodded her head, sure the medicine can cure the patient’s epilepsy, however the patient’s body couldn’t handle the medicines side-effects which caused his heart failure, leaving his life on a thread.

After thinking for a moment, she thought about a method that could cure the boy. However there was one problem, the method also also has toxicity to a certain extent.

The method was to use aconite1 to save the patient. However the amount of aconite to be used could not be within the recommended amount, yet if they were to use too much, it would easily poison the patient, hence the utmost care had to be given when using this method.
