Chapter 29: Can This Method Be Cured?
"What are you doing, let me take a look at the ones suitable for the elderly first" Lu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he casually found an excuse to debunk it.
"Yes, that's business. Dr. Lu, come and have a look. Old bovine disease looks like some kind of skin disease. But I've been practicing medicine for almost 40 years, and it's the first time I've seen this strange disease. The pulse is hot and dry, and the qi is weak, as if burned by fire. When Dr. Xu heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
He can be called the second most famous TCM physician in Beishan City, second only to Mr. Du of the Affiliated Hospital of TCM. He, naturally, is not a mediocre person. He has a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine, but even so, he has never seen this strange disease feel very tricky, and even have a feeling that there is no way to deal with it.
"It's not very common. It's normal, you've never seen it before, Dr. Xu. Even I was the first to see a real patient with this disease. It had only been seen in ancient medical books before. However, as soon as Lu Fan heard this, he spoke like this, startling the three people present.
"Lu, Doctor Lu, you know what kind of disease I have." The old man Liu Zhou was very excited.
Because since he contracted this strange disease, I don't know how many Western medicine experts and Chinese medicine experts have been invited to treat him. Looking at them, none of them could say why. Even his old classmate, Dr. Xu Zhenxing, who has a long reputation in the field of Chinese medicine, bluntly said that he had never seen this disease, let alone heard of it, and had no idea where to start. He couldn't help but feel a little hopeless.
But now, the young doctor in front of him said in an enthusiastic tone that he knew the origin of the disease and seemed to have a way to cure it. The old men Liu Zhou and Liu Chengdu couldn't help but express their shock. When he looked at Lu Fan, he couldn't help but change his eyes.
Not to mention whether he can cure this disease, if he really knows the origin of this strange disease, it can be seen that this person's medical attainments are by no means weak. No wonder even his old classmate, Dr. Xu, said they were ashamed.
"Doctor Xu, what the hell is this......" Even Dr. Xu Zhenxing looked shocked and couldn't help but ask.
"The ancient medical books I read don't mention the name of this disease, so it's called hot ringworm. This is actually a symptom of a disease caused by the entry of fire poison into the human body, resulting in an abnormal reaction of the skin in the eyes. If my guess is correct, this disease should be related to the elderly long-term contact with the stove. Lu Fan judged.
"The stove. Dr. Xu was stunned when he heard this.
He suddenly remembered that this old classmate had a strange problem when cooking, that is, he didn't like to use a modern professional kitchen, but preferred to use an original ancient stove. And now Lu Fan solemnly singled out these two words, could it be...?
"This is Dr. Lu. Could it be that I think this illness has something to do with his constant spending time by the fire? ”
Liu Cheng had always had great doubts about Lu Fan, but now, he couldn't help but waver a little. Because his father likes to cook on the ancient stove, not many people knew about it at the time, but now the other party casually revealed it.
"There is also a certain relationship." Lu Fan nodded, acknowledging this.
"Doctor Lu, can this disease be cured?" When Xu Zhenxing heard this, he couldn't help but ask from the side.
"It's curable. In fact, the treatment of this disease is very simple, you just need to find the right method. Lu Fan waved his hand confidently.
"It's really curable. That's great. Dr. Lu, you must help me. Whether I can pick up a spoon and stir-fry again is up to you. When the old man Liu Zhou heard this, he immediately became excited. Although he is old now, he still does not want to give up the career he has loved all his life, because it is his spiritual sustenance.
But the son of the old man Liu Zhou still looked a little hesitant. He couldn't help but say, "Dad, let's think about it again." Otherwise, we will invite Uncle Xu and Dr. Lu to the coast, and then call those experts and national players over, and we will discuss it together before making a decision. ”
He's a dutiful son, that's right. Otherwise, he would not have temporarily put down the listed company with a lot of affairs in his hands and accompanied his old father to travel so far to see a doctor.
However, he is a dutiful son and the CEO of a public company. He thought that his eyesight was very accurate, and he was really uneasy about such a young so-called miracle doctor.
That's why he wanted to discuss it, let the Western medicine dermatology experts and Chinese medicine experts he accredited listen to the so-called Dr. Lu's treatment plan first, and then talk about the treatment after approval.
Obviously, he thinks this is the safest approach.
However, as soon as he said this, whether it was Old Man Liu Zhou, Dr. Xu Zhenxing, or Lu Fan, who was originally smiling, his expression changed slightly at this moment. Please go to the beach. To put it nicely, you should be careful to avoid problems. To put it mildly, it's just that I doubt it from the bottom of my heart, and I don't trust people.
Especially Xu Zhenxing warned him so seriously before, don't look down on Dr. Lu because of his age, let alone talk nonsense..... But now, is this a slap in the face?
"Lao Liu, why don't you just listen to Lin Cheng's words and go back to the coast to have a look. As for us, we won't go. It's too far away, and we don't want to bother. Dr. Xu said calmly, but his tone sounded like he was rejecting people from thousands of miles away.
"Uncle Xu, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that......" Liu Cheng also realized that something was wrong and explained in a panic.
"Shut up, you're talking nonsense. Apologize immediately to your Uncle Xu and Dr. Lu. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an angry scolding from Old Man Liu Zhou, with a reproachful expression on his face.
Not to mention that the other party's doctor, Dr. Lu, came to see him, with good intentions, but he was "troubled" and distrusted by his incompetent son. Even if he is not a doctor, he knows very well that in the same way, if someone dares to question his cooking skills in front of him, he will definitely get up and leave with a gloomy face, and no one can persuade him.
Moreover, his old classmate still helped him see a doctor as an introducer, but his son did not trust him. Although he didn't understand, this was simply a slap in the face of Xu Zhenxing. No wonder he gets angry and says the kind of thing that rejects people from thousands of miles away.
"Dad, what are you doing here...... but Liu Cheng was also very aggrieved.
As the youngest son of Mr. Liu Zhou, he has always been the most favored. Growing up, he rarely saw his father so angry with him.
Besides, what he said before was also well-intentioned. After all, such a young so-called miracle doctor, even if he has his Uncle Xu as a guarantee, still has no credibility. He couldn't have joked about his father's illness.
"Doctor Xu, forget it, forget it, those who don't know are innocent. He doesn't understand, and you can't blame him. "Once again, he was interrogated for no reason. To be honest, Lu Fan was really unhappy at that time.
But the discontent is gone. After all, the old man on the other side still believed in him, and the dissatisfaction dissipated.
"Hey, Lao Xu, Doctor Lu, I didn't teach my son the skills, so I'm angry. For the old man's sake, please don't be surprised. What a joke for both of you. Hearing Lu Fan's words, the old man Liu Zhou felt even deeper. Xiang Lu Fan and Dr. Xu bowed deeply and apologized.
"Hey, Lao Liu, don't ......" Seeing this scene, Dr. Xu's face immediately became nervous, and he immediately stopped him.
They were classmates for decades and have been connected to the present. Even if they're angry, they're likely to let go. What else could happen.
"Dad, Uncle Xu, Doctor Lu, blame me, it was me just now, ......" When Liu Cheng saw this scene, he knew that he was in trouble. Even if he had a good heart, he shouldn't say it in such a way that it would make his father pay for his apology. He hurriedly bowed and apologized to Dr. Xu and Lu Fan with red eyes.
As for whether there are grievances, everything can only be put aside for the time being.
"Doctor Xu, you go and fetch me a basin of water, and then ask someone to find a small copper stove. I will alleviate Mr. Liu's condition first, and then you can see the effect before deciding whether to continue the treatment. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lu Fan had no choice but to change the subject.
"Copper furnace. Just let Xiao Cheng go and find it, why are you still dangling here? If you don't want to go, hurry up. Dr. Luk, are these two things enough? Old man Liu Zhou would definitely not let Xu Zhenxing do anything, so he immediately urged his son to do it.
"Actually, the treatment for this disease is very simple. You two will wait and see. Lu Fan smiled and said confidently.
Fetching water is of course easy, but finding a small copper stove is a bit of a hassle. After all, the hospital does not prepare such strange things, and can only buy ready-made ones. In this way, about half an hour later, Liu Chengcai, who was sweating profusely, walked in with a small basin of water, and behind him was a bodyguard in a black suit holding a small copper stove.
"Doctor Lu, do you think that's okay?"
After what happened before, Liu Cheng didn't dare to be disrespectful to Lu Fan anymore, so he asked respectfully.
"Mr. Liu, take off your clothes. Your illness may only affect your arms and shoulders. Lu Fan took the small alchemy furnace and nodded, then pretended to take out something from his medicine box and put it in. In fact, he was just pretending to leave a backup plan for what would happen next.
"Bang."
There was only an unusual sound, and a small copper furnace with a spark splashing out. Wisps of flames appeared in front of everyone's eyes, causing the temperature of the inner wall of the small copper furnace to rise instantly.
"Doctor Lu, this is ......" Doctor Xu Zhenxing couldn't help but ask.
"It's a gadget that I usually don't do, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today." Lu Fan said with a smile. Because he had pretended to have taken something from the medicine chest before, he was able to deceive him.
Then he put the basin full of water on the table next to Lao Liu Zhou, then looked at Lao Liu Zhou, who had already taken off his shirt, and said, "Mr. Liu, if you can't stand the pain, tell me." Bear with it if you can. ”
"Hahaha, don't worry, Dr. Lu, I still have some patience." Old Man Liu Zhou said very proudly and laughed loudly.
"Well, I'll give you an injection first, and then make an incision in your left arm." Lu Fan said as he neatly took out a silver needle and pierced it into the acupuncture points on Lao Liu Zhou's body. Then he saw him take out a knife and make a cut in his arm.
"Why didn't you bleed," but there was no blood coming out of the wound that Lu Fan cut with the knife. This scene shocked the old man Liu Zhou and Liu Cheng.
Only Xu Zhenxing showed a look of admiration on his face, and said admiringly: "I use acupuncture to stop the bleeding." Unexpectedly, Dr. Lu was proficient in this long-lost secret acupuncture technique. I'm really ashamed, so ashamed. "He has been practicing medicine in the field of Chinese medicine for most of his life, so he is naturally well-informed. He could see at a glance that the acupuncture method used by Lu Fan at this time was some kind of secret acupuncture method that had been lost in the world for a long time.
"I'm going to start, Mr. Lu, wait a minute."
However, Lu Fan didn't answer anything at this time, because he was already concentrating on preparing to start treatment.
The next moment, he was seen holding the already hot copper stove in both hands. Smoke slowly rises, and the inner walls are red. He slowly brought it close to the injured fish scale skin of the old man Liu Zhou. As the scorching inner wall of the copper furnace gradually approached, the old man Liu Zhou couldn't help frowning painfully.
Obviously, although Lu Fan had numbed most of the pain with acupuncture, he couldn't help but feel the pain and cried out in pain when he came into contact with the inner wall of the copper furnace that was burning red at such a high temperature.
But he remembered Lu Fan's words and endured it as long as he could. After all, he was treating a disease.
There was silence throughout the clinic, and everyone held their breath nervously. I only heard the sound of flames churning in the copper furnace, and the painful moans of the old man Liu Zhou from time to time. Soon, dark red blood began to flow out from the wound on Lu Fan's arm. The flow rate is very slow, and the blood is also viscous.
"It can also be curative. Uncle Xu, I really don't understand. Liu Cheng, who had been observing Lu Fan's movements, finally couldn't help but whisper.
"Although I don't understand, Xiao Cheng, look at the ringworm on your arm." Xu Zhenxing was not angry this time, sparks flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he said calmly.
“.... Really, Uncle Xu, the monster in my hand seems to be"
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, when he saw that the strange illness on his father's left arm was indeed visible to the naked eye, and much better than before, he was completely stunned and shocked.
Can this inexplicable method really cure the disease?
"Mr. Liu, how do you feel?" At this time, Lu Fan had already put down the hot small copper stove in his hand, and said to the surprised Liu Zhou with a smile.
"Much better, really better. I now distinctly feel that my left hand is much stronger than my right, and the strange ringworm doesn't seem to be gone and not as horrible as it used to be. Dr. Luk, this is amazing. Hahaha. Liu Zhou laughed excitedly.
After laughing, he thanked Lu Fan from the bottom of his heart: "Doctor Lu, I won't say much about the rest, thank you so much." ”
Mr. Liu said something serious. The treatment is not over yet. Lu Fan smiled modestly and said.
"Doctor Lu, forgive me for not being able to see the mountain before. I shouldn't question your medical skills. I'm so sorry. When Liu Cheng saw that his father's condition had really improved, how could he not know that the young doctor in front of him was really a master with unsurpassed medical skills? He apologized hastily and awkwardly, and at the same time his heart was filled with admiration.
You know, this is a strange disease that many Western medicine experts and Chinese medicine experts think are helpless, but it has been solved so simply in his hands. How can this not be surprising
After apologizing sincerely, he couldn't help but look at the basin of water. But it's better not to see it. When I looked at it, I was simply stunned. The basin of water, which was supposed to be extremely clear, turned into a dark red goo, as if it had been stained with red ink.
"This, this, this is ......" he shivered behind him for no apparent reason.
"It's the fire poison that has accumulated in your father's body for years. Don't touch this thing. Pour it down the toilet bowl and flush it again later. Lu Fan explained.
When Liu Chengcheng heard this, he immediately ordered the bodyguard to carefully pour out the water in the basin, and then took another basin of water and put it back.
"Doctor Lu, do you want to continue using my other hand?" Old man Liu Zhou couldn't help but say, with an expectant look on his face. While his left arm looks like it's been taken care of, he still has a hand that should be taken care of as well.
"Let's rest for a while." However, Lu Fan said this.
Only then did everyone notice that his face had become a little pale and his voice was a little weak.
"You stinky boy, what are you still doing standing there, you go and pour a glass of water for Dr. Lu." The old man Liu Zhou has traveled all over the country for so many years, and he still has some vision. He vaguely guessed that the reason why the other party was so weak was probably because he had helped him treat him before. He was suddenly grateful and felt guilty.
The next moment, without waiting for his son to take action, he poured a glass of water for Lu Fan with his own hands, handed it over, and said gratefully: "Doctor Lu, thank you for treating me so hard." Come, drink some water. ”
"Teacher Lu is too polite."
Lu Fan smiled modestly, took the water cup and took a sip, then sat back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Liu glanced at his son and his old classmate Xu Zhenxing at the same time, and then quietly walked out of the clinic, leaving Lu Fan to rest alone, so as not to be disturbed by them.
When they walked out of the outpatient clinic and came to the corridor, the old man Liu Zhou showed a relieved look and said, "Old Xu, I didn't expect that there is really an expert and a miracle doctor hidden in your hospital. ”
"Now take my word for it." Xu Zhenxing raised his neck and said unhappily.
"Uncle Xu, it was my fault just now, I shouldn't have questioned you and Doctor Lu. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Seeing Xu Zhenxing bring up the old matter again, Liu Cheng immediately said with an embarrassed face and kept apologizing.
Obviously, although his intentions were good, he did not dare to joke about his father's illness.
However, he did almost commit a kind mistake and refused a miracle doctor who could cure his father's strange illness, so he had to carry this black cauldron and couldn't get out.
"That's not what I meant. If my guess is correct, the treatment that Dr. Lu gave me just now may have something to do with those people. However, the old man Liu Zhou shook his head and said seriously.
