Chapter 606 Medical Skills Soar
"But how can willow bark be used to treat illness?"
He Shuangshuang was relentless in her questioning. She still didn't understand the pharmacological principles involved.
Chen Xuan slowly explained, "When willow bark is heated, it becomes a medicinal ingredient. The substances it contains can treat postoperative complications. As for why there was a high fever, it was due to the activation of immune function."
The others were enlightened, and He Shuangshuang finally understood. Chen Xuan had intentionally had President Fang rub the willow bark against his back to heat it up, turning it into a medicinal ingredient. One could say Chen Xuan had given He Shuangshuang a practical lesson! Of course, he had also thoroughly embarrassed her.
"Uncle-Master..."
He Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and called out to Chen Xuan. With a twist of her waist, her face flushed, and she strode away with her long legs. As a woman, she found it difficult to call a young man of her similar age "uncle."
"Not bad, not bad."
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile. Elder Lu smiled upon seeing this. He greatly admired his disciple He Shuangshuang and wished for her to become closer to Chen Xuan. If she could learn something from him, it would undoubtedly be excellent.
Just then, Chen Xuan received a phone call. It was from Su Yunxi, and from her tone, it seemed she was very anxious.
"Yunxi, what's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly," Chen Xuan said.
Su Yunxi, with her strong will, quickly calmed down and controlled her emotions. She said, "Chen Xuan, it's like this. My cousin Zhenzhen just called me. At Shengxin Hospital, she accidentally took the wrong medicine, causing a very wealthy man to fall into critical condition. That wealthy man is demanding Zhenzhen's life. I thought you're a doctor, so I was wondering if you could help..."
Chen Xuan said, "So that's what happened. I'll go to Shengxin Hospital then."
Su Yunxi said, "Chen Xuan, I'll go with you."
"No need, Yunxi. You're so busy, so focus on your work. I'll rush over and take a look right away." Chen Xuan smiled confidently. Su Yunxi not only had to manage Su's Pharmaceutical but also new investments. He didn't want her to worry about these trivial matters.
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Su Yunxi felt very reassured and nodded, "Alright then."
After hanging up, Chen Xuan informed Elder Lu and drove straight to Shengxin Hospital.
After Chen Xuan left, Elder Lu returned to his office with Lu Jian. He Shuangshuang was sitting on the sofa in the office, her expression still not very pleasant.
"Shuangshuang, why did you decide to come back to the provincial capital?"
Elder Lu personally poured He Shuangshuang a cup of hot tea and asked with a smile.
He Shuangshuang said, "Teacher Lu, I originally didn't plan to come to the provincial capital. But Teacher Qi invited me to represent Jiangzhou in the youth division of the medical conference. I just went to handle some matters, and then I came to Renxin Medical Clinic."
"So, you know Mr. Chen because of President Qi?" Elder Lu's heart stirred, and he immediately understood why He Shuangshuang knew Chen Xuan. President Qi was from Jiangzhou, and Chen Xuan was also from Jiangzhou. With Chen Xuan's medical skills, how could President Qi not know him?
"Yes, teacher. Before coming to Renxin Medical Clinic, I just met that guy." Mentioning Chen Xuan, He Shuangshuang's eyes blazed with anger.
Elder Lu nodded slightly and reminded, "Shuangshuang, you should interact more with Mr. Chen in the future."
He Shuangshuang didn't say anything but was very unhappy in her heart. What right did that guy have? I won't! She, He Shuangshuang, was also a medical genius and had her own pride.
Seeing He Shuangshuang's expression, Elder Lu shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Jian smiled and said, "Senior Sister, are you also going to participate in the medical conference?"
"Indeed!"
"Senior Sister, you might be returning empty-handed this time!" Lu Jian said with a smile, his eyes filled with confidence.
"Looking at you, your medical skills have greatly improved?" He Shuangshuang narrowed her eyes and smiled at Lu Jian. However, despite saying this, He Shuangshuang didn't really believe it. Although Lu Jian was called a genius by everyone, in terms of talent or diligence, Lu Jian was far inferior to her, He Shuangshuang.
Lu Jian nodded with a smile and generously admitted, "It's okay, it's okay. However, compared to you, Senior Sister, I should be a little bit better."
"Bragging!" He Shuangshuang absolutely didn't believe it.
"Don't you believe me? Shall we have a competition?" Lu Jian smiled.
Hearing this, Elder Lu said, "Lu Jian, don't be rude. Your Senior Sister is tired from her journey and has to represent Jiangzhou in the medical conference tomorrow. She needs to rest well."
Lu Jian was a bit displeased upon hearing this and had to back down, "Alright then." Having studied medicine with Chen Xuan for a period, Lu Jian was eager to prove himself. However, He Shuangshuang said, "Teacher, it's fine. I'm in great spirits right now, and even competing now won't affect tomorrow's competition."
Lu Jian excitedly stood up and exclaimed, "Grandpa, I didn't say that, Senior Sister did! Senior Sister, let's compete." When He Shuangshuang was learning medicine, Lu Jian studied with her. Back then, He Shuangshuang defeated Lu Jian so badly that he cried and even complained to Elder Lu, who then disciplined him and made him copy the Materia Medica one hundred times. Now that Lu Jian had received guidance from Chen Xuan, he finally had a chance to get revenge and naturally wouldn't let it go.
Elder Lu saw this and could only tell He Shuangshuang and Lu Jian to take it easy, as both of them had to participate in the medical conference tomorrow.
"If you lose, don't cry and complain," He Shuangshuang said with a smile.
Lu Jian's old face turned red, and then he gritted his teeth, "I think you'd better not let me make you cry by winning!"
"I wonder where you get your confidence from..."
He Shuangshuang looked at Lu Jian's expression, was slightly taken aback, and then relaxed. What waves could a defeated opponent possibly stir up?
As they chatted and laughed, Lu Jian and He Shuangshuang went to the main hall outside, with Elder Lu following closely, also full of anticipation. Elder Lu also wanted to see how much Lu Jian's medical skills had improved after being taught by Chen Xuan... According to the childhood competition, they would compete on who could diagnose and treat patients faster and more accurately.
Soon, Lu Jian had people bring two tables and place them in the center of the hall, and had the patients who came line up in two rows. Renxin Medical Clinic's reputation had long been established, and there were many patients seeking treatment there, with the queues extending almost to the doorway.
"Lu Jian, if you surrender early now, Senior Sister will let you off the hook," He Shuangshuang, who was the first to sit at the table, turned to Lu Jian and said confidently.
"Senior Sister, just bring it on!" Lu Jian smiled slightly. But in his heart, he gritted his teeth, thinking, Senior Sister, after following Mr. Chen, I, Lu Jian, am no longer the Lu Jian of the past! Wait until you're shocked!
"Begin!"
As Elder Lu called out "Begin," Lu Jian and He Shuangshuang simultaneously placed their hands on the patients' wrists. He Shuangshuang was in the process of feeling the patient's pulse when she heard Lu Jian's voice, "Auntie, you have mild food poisoning! Just boil some mung beans when you get back!"
"Next!"
He Shuangshuang frowned but didn't think much of it. Perhaps the patient's pulse was relatively simple. After all, even though they were both patients, their conditions were different. But this wasn't the end. Before she could collect her thoughts, Lu Jian's diagnosis rang out again!
