Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Cause
"How's my dad doing?" Senior Officer Zhao came to the operating table and asked.
"The situation is not very optimistic, we have only temporarily stabilized the patient's condition, and the specific treatment plan needs to be further discussed." The dean said truthfully.
"Are you a family member of a patient?" Lu Bao, who had been silent, asked.
"Who is this?" Senior Officer Zhao frowned and asked.
"This is the best doctor in our hospital, he is a specialist who has just returned from abroad, and Dr. Lu even fell out with his teacher, Mr. William, in order to return to China." The dean explained.
"It was also Dr. Lu who stabilized the patient's condition, but because the consumption was too great, Dr. Lu needed to take a break." The dean glanced at Senior Officer Zhao's face before saying.
"Thank you!" Senior official Zhao suddenly bowed to Lu Bao and said.
"Don't you dare!" Lu Bao hid to the side in an instant, joking, this is a bigwig-level existence, if he accepts this gift, it will be worth it.
"No matter what his identity was before, he is just a family member of the patient here, and I hope that Dr. Lu can do it again." Senior official Zhao said.
"To tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to make a move, but with my current state, I am not sure at all, and there are many doubts, I hope Senior Officer Zhao can answer me truthfully." Lu Bao shook his head and said.
"Excuse me!" Senior Officer Zhao nodded and said.
"Okay, the first question, did the old man have a lung injury when he was young?" Lu Bao nodded and said.
"That's right, this was left on the battlefield in South Vietnam, but it should have been cured at that time, how can it be ......" Senior Officer Zhao looked at Lu Bao a little strangely and said, but he already had a definition of Lu Bao in his heart, that is, he had superb medical skills.
Although it is not a secret that the old man was injured, there were a few soldiers in that era who were not injured, and the number of injuries was not once or twice, so no one deliberately said anything about the old man's old lung injury.
It is precisely because he understands these that Senior Officer Zhao will look at Lu Bao differently, because he probably knows that Lu Bao should be deduced by medical skills.
"The second question, has the old man always had the habit of smoking? However, he later quit smoking. Lu Bao asked.
"That's right, my father is a decades-old smoker, but after the injury, for the sake of his health, we are all trying to persuade him to quit smoking!" Senior Officer Zhao nodded and said.
"Well, I pretty much know what's going on." After speaking, Lu Bao frowned.
"Doctor Lu, is there any trouble?" Senior Officer Zhao asked cautiously, as a member of the party, his ability to observe words and emotions is naturally perfect, and at this time, when he saw the change in Lu Bao's expression, he knew that something bad might happen.
"It's not a problem, it's just that the patient is too old, and no matter how it is treated, there will be some risks, so we need to think of a safe way to treat it, otherwise, we can only take conservative treatment." Lu Bao shook his head and said.
After listening to Lu Bao's words, everyone present was stunned, under normal circumstances, conservative treatment is a very safe way for some diseases, and it is also a kind of treatment method for patients.
However, in this case, this so-called conservative treatment may be a way to maintain the status quo, or even just hang one's life, and it may be difficult to cure the disease.
"Listen to the doctor!" Senior Officer Zhao gritted his teeth and said.
"Doctor Lu, let me ask, how long can the patient's condition be stabilized like this?" The dean stepped forward and asked.
Although Senior Officer Zhao said that he listened to the doctor, it was impossible for the hospital to act arbitrarily, after all, this was the old man's merit to the country, and he was also a big man, so the hospital did not dare to mess around.
"If I do acupuncture once a day, although it can't cure the patient, it can reduce the symptoms, the brain congestion can be slowly cleared, and the old man can wake up after three or five days, but the root of the disease cannot be removed, which is the most troublesome." Lu Bao thought for a while and said.
What he said was the truth, if you want to cure the old man, Lu Bao also has a way, but there must be a strong chakra as a backing, otherwise, there is no way at all, as for traditional Chinese medicine treatment, with the current level of Lu Bao, the general pain can be treated, but there is still no way to treat a disease like the old man.
"That's fine, and I ask Dr. Lu to think of a way, if there is anything I need to do, just ask." Senior Officer Zhao's eyes lit up and he said.
For Zhao Gaoguan, the old man is not only his most respected father, but also the evergreen tree of the family, as long as the old man is there, everything is easy to say, if the old man can come to his senses, it will be great.
"It's not that troublesome, it's just that I haven't learned medical skills yet, and when I slowly study this disease, there should be a way." Lu Bao shook his head and said.
Senior Officer Zhao hurriedly left the operating room after repeatedly confirming that the old man had no problems, and after Senior Officer Zhao left, all the experts present gathered around Lu Bao.
"Doctor Lu, what's going on with this old man? Are you really sure to stabilize your condition and slow it down? The dean said with some seriousness.
"Don't worry, Dean, give me a little time, this will definitely be cured, but, Dean, if I give acupuncture to patients every day, I may not be able to work normally." Lu Bao said affirmatively.
"There is no rush in the work, now our most important job is to treat this patient, and the rest can be put aside." The dean said with a wave of his hand.
"Doctor Lu, what is the condition of the patient, you haven't made it clear for so long." Li Huicong asked.
"Actually, this disease is not a disease, because the patient left a dark disease, which has been hidden in the body for many years, and the patient has the habit of smoking, which makes the dark disease more and more severe, but it is precisely because of smoking that the dark disease is suppressed, but after quitting smoking, there is no suppression, so the dark disease is slowly coming out." Lu Bao said with a wry smile.
Tobacco is a traditional Chinese medicine with certain medicinal value, but it is the first time that Lu Bao has seen such a way of reflecting value as smoking, and of course, it is the first time that others have heard of it.
"Are you sure?" The dean asked.
"At present, there is an eighty percent certainty, but if the onset of the disease is suppressed and slowed down, it can be maintained for about a year, and if it takes two or three months to study the disease, there should be no problem." Lu Bao thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then we'll make sure we maintain the status quo now." The dean was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind.
