323: Chapter 323 Acupuncture Treatment 323: Chapter 323 Acupuncture Treatment Le Yaoyao, although unwilling, had to do as Su Xuan said due to the elderly man’s life being at stake.

After placing her hand on the old man’s forehead, she was puzzled when Su Xuan spoke up, “Fever, low temperature, but probably not yet thirty-eight degrees.”

Le Yaoyao was slightly stunned.

Indeed, she could feel a bit of warmth from her hand, and she knew that Su Xuan was right, the old man had a fever, albeit a mild one.

But what did this have to do with acute appendicitis?

“Beauty, this old man’s mild fever indicates that it’s not yet perforated appendicitis or pericecal abscess.

Right now, it’s at most an incomplete abscess, and currently, there’s no need to remove the appendix,” Su Xuan explained.

Le Yaoyao suddenly realized, and by now, if she couldn’t understand, then she would truly be considered an incompetent doctor.

However, leaving the appendix intact, should appendicitis flare up, it could also be life-threatening.

Wen Bin’s grandfather was in his late seventies or eighties, whether to operate or not, this acute appendicitis could take his life!

“Big Brother Wen, you should hurry and take your grandfather to the City People’s Hospital.

I don’t have full confidence in performing surgery on your grandfather, especially considering his advanced age.

If anything unexpected happens, it wouldn’t be good for our neighbors either,” Le Yaoyao said somewhat helplessly as she looked at Wen Bin.

Although she wanted to help him, the clinic’s facilities were limited and the risks of surgery were too high.

She feared that should the old man not survive the operation, her clinic, after years of operation, might have to close for good, and she might even face legal consequences, possibly even imprisonment.

“Beauty, it’s already too late to take him to the hospital now,” Su Xuan, keenly aware of the elderly man’s forehead temperature, which had reached a high fever, said.

Taking him to the hospital now, he feared they might encounter King Yan on the way.

Too late?

Upon hearing this, Wen Bin panicked, “Miss Le, I beg you, please save my grandfather.”

To save or not to save?

Le Yaoyao’s expression was complex as she watched the old man’s increasingly pained face.

Her heart struggled with the decision.

Should she save him, and if the old man died in her clinic, then all her efforts over the past three years would not only be in vain, but she could also end up in prison for a few years because of this incident.

However, not saving him contradicted her initial desire to practice medicine, to save lives and help the world.

“Miss Le,” Wen Bin suddenly knelt down, “My parents died early, and it was Grandpa who raised me.

He’s the only family I have left.

If he dies, then I would have no relatives left in this world!”

“Big Brother Wen, please get up,” Le Yaoyao hurriedly helped Wen Bin, her heart a bit heavy.

It’s said that a man’s knees are as precious as gold, yet here Wen Bin was, kneeling to a woman for the sake of his grandfather, showing how great his courage and filial piety were!

Le Yaoyao, with difficulty, nodded her head, “Alright, I’ll save him.

Please get up!” Le Yaoyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, aware of the potential consequences of her actions, but chose to act based on her conscience, the humane side of her.

“Beauty, I can save him,” Su Xuan glanced at Le Yaoyao and said, “You can’t operate on this old man.

If you do, he will surely die.”

“But you also said it’s too late to take him to the hospital now,” Le Yaoyao said, a bit exasperated, “If not through surgery, what else can we do?”

“Acupuncture!” Su Xuan pulled out a wooden box from his bag and took out a golden needle, planning to administer acupuncture to the old man.

“Wait,” Le Yaoyao hastily stopped Su Xuan, “What are you going to do?”

“Of course, I’m going to treat this old man,” Su Xuan’s face showed a hint of confusion.

He had already said he was going to administer acupuncture, why was the beauty still asking him what he was going to do?

“Acupuncture can treat acute appendicitis?” Le Yaoyao was a bit bewildered.

She had been practicing medicine for many years and had never heard of such a strange method of curing acute appendicitis with just acupuncture.

“Yes,” Su Xuan nodded, then looked at Le Yaoyao with a serious face, “Beautiful sister, you have to trust me.

I will not deceive you.”

Le Yaoyao hesitated, understanding that if they operated, the old man would likely die on the operating table, but without surgery, the old man clearly couldn’t hold on much longer.

The man in front of her claimed he had a solution, but could acupuncture really treat acute appendicitis?

Should she trust him this time?

Le Yaoyao was about to let Su Xuan proceed with the treatment, only to find that Su Xuan had already started.

Su Xuan focused his gaze on the Acupoint Zhongwan located between the bottom of the sternum and the midpoint of the line connected to the navel, and abruptly, the golden needle in his hand moved, piercing into the Acupoint Zhongwan in a clockwise direction.

Seeing Su Xuan administer the needle, Le Yaoyao’s look of concern transformed into surprise and caution.

Although she initially doubted Su Xuan’s reliability, the situation now seemed different.

To most doctors, acupuncture is nothing special, as anyone can insert needles.

The essence of acupuncture lies in accurately identifying acupoints.

If done inaccurately, mistargeting could be lethal.

In the way of acupuncture, once you correctly identify the acupoints, you’ve essentially mastered most of it.

Watching Su Xuan insert needles skillfully, even to the point of being divinely engrossed, Le Yaoyao held an attitude of admiration mixed with doubt toward his level of acupuncture expertise.

After the first needle entered the Acupoint Zhongwan, Su Xuan took out another needle and inserted it two inches to the right of the old man’s navel, into the Acupoint Tiankou on the right.

This needle, Su Xuan inserted very quickly, hardly using his eyes to look, and as this needle was inserted, his left hand immediately took out another golden needle and pierced the old man’s right Acupoint Sanmen.

“This, this is impossible,” Le Yaoyao was completely stunned by what she saw.

Su Xuan had administered three needles, which she observed clearly: aside from using his eyes for the first needle, the following two were executed without visual guidance, and crucially, he used both hands simultaneously to insert the needles.

If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it.

Because she knew what it meant to insert needles without visual aid and to use both hands at the same time: blind needle technique, yes, the man before her was actually capable of the blind needle technique!

As far as she was aware, in Huaxia, those who knew the blind needle technique could be counted on one hand, and there might not be a second person capable of using both hands simultaneously.

What’s more, wasn’t every person who knew the blind needle technique someone who had dedicated over a decade to studying acupuncture?

Yet this man before her was only in his early twenties.

How had he managed to master acupuncture to such a degree at his young age?

Le Yaoyao found it hard to believe as she watched Su Xuan, then suddenly realized that Su Xuan, who was applying the needles, seemed to possess a compassionate, exceedingly solemn, and serious temperament.

After these few needles were administered, the pain on the elderly man’s face evidently lessened, and he stopped moving about, lying still on the bed as Su Xuan continued with the treatment.

Seeing that the elderly man’s condition seemed to have improved, Su Xuan inserted two more needles into his body.

Le Yaoyao watched silently from the side, and seeing that Su Xuan was truly on the verge of curing the elderly man, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, she was thoroughly convinced by Su Xuan’s medical skill.

A physician’s heart is like that of a parent, and in Su Xuan, she fully saw the good moral character a physician should possess.

In this day and age, many doctors, for the sake of money, had made this sacred profession sordid and no longer held the good morals of doctors in ancient times who healed the wounded and saved lives.

“Beautiful lady, could you help me get some dried tangerine peels?

Make sure they are small, the smaller, the better.

Then, bring me some mugwort leaves and something to start a fire with, quickly,” Su Xuan instructed Le Yaoyao as he looked at her.

Le Yaoyao paused for a moment, then walked over to the medicine cabinet, took a few dried tangerine peels and mugwort leaves, then found a lighter and brought everything to Su Xuan.

After inspecting the items he had asked for, Su Xuan removed the golden needles from the elderly man’s body, placed the tangerine peels on the previously needled acupoints, twisted the mugwort leaves into a cone shape, dispersed them on the tangerine peels, and sequentially lit them with the lighter.

Su Xuan completed these actions very adeptly, which even gave Le Yaoyao the illusion that Su Xuan was not treating a disease, but performing a form of art performance—indescribably lavish and marvelous.

“Old man, if you feel overheated and can’t bear it, let me know, and I’ll remove these tangerine pieces,” Su Xuan told the elderly man who had woken up.

The old man nodded and looked at Su Xuan with grateful eyes.

“Beautiful lady, the old man is fine now,” Su Xuan said with a smile as he put the golden needles back into their box.

He’s fine now?

Le Yaoyao looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed and asked, “Grandpa Wen, do you feel better now?”

“Yaoyao, Grandpa feels much better now, all thanks to your boyfriend here; he truly is a Divine Doctor,” the elderly man said with a smile, pointing at Su Xuan as his pale face gradually turned rosy.

Boyfriend?

Le Yaoyao’s face blushed.

Obviously, the old man had misunderstood her relationship with Su Xuan, but she was quite grateful to him; without him, she might have faced a major disaster today.

Looking at Su Xuan’s clear eyes and radiant smile, Le Yaoyao felt an unusual sensation welling up from the bottom of her heart.

She suddenly had a premonition that her Prince Charming had finally appeared, sadly, not as tall, rich, and handsome as she had imagined, and judging from his clothing, he seemed quite poor.

If she were aware that Su Xuan was the wealthiest man in Qingshan City, her expression would certainly be priceless.

“Miss Yaoyao, I’m really grateful to you; here is a small token of my appreciation.

Please take it, and if it’s not enough, I’ll find a way to make up the difference.” Wen Bin took out several wrinkled hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Le Yaoyao.

“Big Brother Wen, please take this back; I haven’t really helped, so I can’t accept your money.” Finally coming to her senses, Le Yaoyao shook her head to rid herself of those strange thoughts and pushed the money back.

Su Xuan watched as Wen Bin held out the wrinkled hundred yuan bills with no change of expression on his face.

“Miss Yaoyao, please take it,” Wen Bin persisted and pushed the money back into Le Yaoyao’s hands.

“Big Brother Wen, I can’t accept this money,” Le Yaoyao said, hastily pushing the money back.

“This gentleman saved your grandfather, you should give the money to him.”
