An hour later.
"Why is she still having diarrhea?"
The ward door opened, and Mrs. Zhou, with a gloomy face, said angrily to Huang Zhongshu, who was chatting in the living room, and He Tianxiang: "Didn't you say this plan would work? Why is the old lady still having diarrhea? Now she has a severe headache. Do you even know how to treat people?"
"What, still having diarrhea..."
Huang Zhongshu was the first to get up and go in to examine the old lady's bowel movement. She frowned, unable to believe it: "How is that possible?"
He Tianxiang, Zhang Jianlin, and the others changed their expressions. Could it be that this professor from the capital was also useless!
"If you don't know how to treat her, then stop bothering the old lady here. Look how uncomfortable she is." Mrs. Zhou was furious and scolded He Tianxiang and the others fiercely.
He Tianxiang and Zhang Jianlin were covered in sweat, acting like grandchildren, not daring to utter a single word.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought the old lady here for treatment. You bunch of useless quacks." Mrs. Zhou was annoyed and cursed without reservation.
Secretary Lin also had a cold face. He took out his phone and went out to make a call. It was obvious who he was calling.
"Let me try again."
Huang Zhongshu was unwilling to give up, but Mrs. Zhou had lost faith in her.
This was not directed at her specifically, but at all the doctors in the hospital.
After all, the old lady had been in the hospital for three days, suffering from diarrhea and a low-grade fever, being tossed back and forth. Anyone who saw it would feel distressed.
"Are you treating my old lady like a guinea pig?"
Mrs. Zhou was completely enraged, pointing at Huang Zhongshu and shouting, but she couldn't hold back her anger: "Treating illness is like this. If one plan doesn't work, you implement the second plan."
"Then what is your second plan?"
"This..."
Huang Zhongshu hesitated: "Give me some time."
"I've already given you enough time, but you are incompetent."
Mrs. Zhou glared, scanning Huang Zhongshu, He Tianxiang, and everyone present. Her words were harsh, but the entire room was silent, with no one responding.
"Madam, President Kang will be here soon," Secretary Lin returned to report.
When He Tianxiang and Zhang Jianlin heard that the richest man, Kang Hongwen, was coming in person, their hearts sank like they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they felt cold all over.
In less than ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, not very tall, with a square face, wearing glasses, and sharp eyes, walked in. He had a strong aura and was indeed the richest man in Huadu, Kang Hongwen.
Accompanying him was a man dressed in traditional Chinese attire, with a gentle demeanor. He carried a wooden box, and upon closer inspection, a copper plate was carved on it with the words 'He Ren Tang'.
He Ren Tang, Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes. It was the first time he had seen a true Chinese medicine doctor outside.
"It's actually He Ren Tang..."
Su Ke'er was surprised. Although she didn't understand Chinese medicine, she had heard of He Ren Tang's reputation. She introduced Wan Yunting: "This He Ren Tang is very famous. I heard he's a Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating the wealthy!"
"Oh."
Only then did Wan Yunting size up the tall, thin middle-aged man. He swept his gaze disdainfully over the doctors present, his expression quite arrogant.
"President Kang..."
Seeing Kang Hongwen enter with a dark face, He Tianxiang and Zhang Jianlin, both deans, felt extremely nervous.
"Humph."
Kang Hongwen snorted coldly, ignored He Tianxiang and the others, and led the Chinese medicine doctor from He Ren Tang into the ward.
He Tianxiang and Zhang Jianlin exchanged glances and cautiously followed, not daring to get close to the bed, only standing about two meters away and watching silently.
Wan Yunting was pulled in by Su Ke'er again. He also wanted to see what level this Chinese medicine doctor from He Ren Tang was!
The doctor, named He Chang, took out a pulse cushion and began to feel the old lady's pulse.
Kang Hongwen and Zhou Caihong stood by. After He Chang finished feeling the pulses of both of the old lady's hands, he nodded and smiled: "The old lady has contracted an external evil, which has caused cold stagnation and poor circulation in her intestines, leading to persistent diarrhea."
"Does Doctor He have a way to cure it?" Kang Hongwen asked him.
"Simple."
He Chang smiled confidently: "By using acupuncture to regulate the body's cold constitution first, and then assisting with medication, she will surely recover!"
"Well, then Doctor He, please treat my mother as soon as possible," Kang Hongwen nodded and made a gesture to invite him.
He Tianxiang, Huang Zhongshu, and the others watching frowned. They were all Western medicine doctors and naturally didn't understand this system of Chinese medicine.
Especially in the crowd, He Jianyi, seeking death, muttered: "Old-fashioned Chinese medicine, it's a miracle if it can cure her!"
"Shut up."
He Tianxiang turned and glared at him fiercely. Did this brat want to kill him?
Fortunately, Kang Hongwen and the others didn't hear him.
He Chang lifted the old lady's clothes, revealing her abdomen. Then, he pressed a few points, asked a few questions, and then took out a set of silver needles from his medical box, using an alcohol lamp for sterilization.
He took out a seven-inch-long silver needle, flickered it in the flame, and after sterilizing it, he pressed the Zhongwan acupoint on the old lady's abdomen with his left hand. His technique was skilled and experienced, clearly showing he was a seasoned Chinese medicine doctor.
Wan Yunting, from a distance, also nodded and praised his needling technique.
However, when he saw He Chang insert two more needles into the old lady's Shuifen and Huamen acupoints on both sides, Wan Yunting frowned and murmured, "Xing Huo Zhen!"
Su Ke'er beside him asked curiously: "What is Xing Huo Zhen?"
Wan Yunting explained: "Xing Huo Zhen is a method of acupuncture, specifically for treating diseases related to uterine cold. However..."
Su Ke'er knew he studied Chinese medicine. Seeing Wan Yunting frown, she watched He Chang continue to acupuncture the old lady. "But the old lady's body is weak, and the cold qi condensed in her stomach is blocked.
Coupled with the heat condensed on the surface of the body, forming a state of internal cold and external heat, using Xing Huo Zhen to attack fiercely now might be too much for the old lady's body to bear!"
"Ah, then what should we do?"
Su Ke'er was startled. Wan Yunting nodded and explained his treatment method: "First, use Tui Na to disperse the cold qi condensed in the intestines, and then use Xing Huo Zhen acupuncture. The effect will be much better."
Su Ke'er nodded as if she understood, though she didn't know much about Chinese medicine.
"It hurts..."
As expected, the old lady couldn't stand it after a while.
Kang Hongwen and Zhou Caihong were anxious, but He Chang calmly smiled: "President Kang, don't worry. Pain is normal when using Xing Huo Zhen to dispel cold."
However, two minutes later, the old lady was already sweating coldly from the pain.
Zhou Caihong was anxious, and Kang Hongwen glared at him, asking: "Doctor He, the old lady can't bear it. Are you sure this treatment method will work?"
He Chang also realized something was wrong, his face showing a hint of panic. He quickly pulled out all the silver needles from the old lady's abdomen, and the old lady had already fainted from the pain.
"This..."
He Tianxiang, Zhang Jianlin, Huang Zhongshu, and all the doctors present were stunned.
They didn't expect Chinese medicine to be useless either!
"Doctor He, you must give me an explanation."
Kang Hongwen's face turned completely dark. He had brought the Chinese medicine doctor to cure the old lady's illness and show these doctors at the hospital.
But now, this He Chang was so incompetent.
"President Kang, don't be anxious. Your mother has only fainted and is not in danger..." He Chang explained with a panicked expression.
"Damn it."
Mrs. Zhou was furious and cursed: "Western medicine is useless, and Chinese medicine is also useless. Mom, why is your life so bitter, to be tormented like this..."
Wan Yunting, standing outside the crowd, shook his head and sighed inwardly.
This Chinese medicine doctor was too careless. He rashly used Xing Huo Zhen, which suddenly ignited the cold qi condensed in the old lady's intestines and the heat qi on her body's surface.
If it were a young person, they might be able to withstand it. But this old lady in her seventies, coupled with her long illness, had already weakened her to the extreme through diarrhea. How could she endure such pain?
"I have a way to cure it!"
Suddenly, Su Ke'er raised her small hand and shouted loudly.
Before Wan Yunting could react, she pulled him and squeezed through the crowd to walk in, saying to Kang Hongwen: "Brother Yunting studies Chinese medicine, and he has a way to cure your mother's illness."
This sudden turn of events stunned He Tianxiang and the others present.
A doctor recognized Wan Yunting. "Isn't he the cleaner from our emergency department!"
