Chapter 501: This Is Wei Syndrome

"What is the preliminary diagnosis?" Xu Wanshan took the medical record, looked at it for a few moments, and asked.

"We suspect it is a neurological dysfunction. The department's specialists have consulted several times and have also tried treating it with medication in this area, but the results are not very obvious," the department Yisheng replied.

Xu Wanshan walked forward, took the pulse of He Xueqing's mother, and then asked He Xueqing several questions in detail. After clarifying, he nodded and said, "Alright, I have a general idea."

"Little Chen, you should have already diagnosed the patient's condition, right? Why don't you share your insights?" Xu Wanshan smiled.

"Old Xu, he is just a young man with an unknown background. How could he possibly diagnose it?" Zhang Qiang could not help but interject.

"A young man?" Xu Wanshan glared at him and said, "Although I haven't known Little Chen for long, through our exchanges, I know his medical skills are far above mine. If you don't understand, don't interject."

"Zhang Qiang, step back." The department director was startled. Xu Wanshan's tone was already one of dissatisfaction. Regardless of whether Chen Yu had real ability or not, since he was so highly regarded by Xu Wanshan, Zhang Qiang should not have interjected and talked nonsense.

Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth and retreated helplessly. After all, he was merely a resident doctor; he didn't even have the qualifications to make up the numbers here.

"Old Xu, let's write down our diagnoses," Chen Yu smiled. "Let's see if they coincide."

"Alright, haha, let's exchange ideas." Xu Wanshan laughed heartily. He turned his head and said, "Bring paper and a pen."

Someone nearby hurriedly handed over paper and a pen. Chen Yu and Xu Wanshan picked up the pens, wrote the diagnosis on the paper, and then placed them on the table.

The onlookers, the doctors, all stretched their necks to see the diagnosis the two had written.

They saw that the two had written the exact same two characters: "Wei Syndrome."

"Haha, it coincides." Xu Wanshan laughed heartily.

"Wei Syndrome, what kind of illness is that?" The attending Yisheng was completely confused.

"Little Chen, why don't you explain it," Xu Wanshan smiled.

"The Western Medicine name is Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a syndrome characterized primarily by nerve root and peripheral nerve damage, accompanied by albuminocytologic dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid," Chen Yu said. "Therefore, it manifests as motor impairment, sensory impairment, and nerve reflex impairment."

"In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we categorize this illness under the scope of Wei Syndrome. The cause is often due to summer-dampness and damp-heat. The pathogenesis is damp-heat invading the meridians, which over time damages the liver, kidney, and spleen, leading to a deficiency of essence and blood," Chen Yu said.

"So it's Guillain-Barre Syndrome. No wonder the neurological drugs were useless," the attending Yisheng suddenly realized.

"Then is there a way to cure my mother's illness?" He Xueqing asked anxiously. She was completely confused by what she heard, but what she cared about most was whether the illness could be cured.

"That's simple," Chen Yu smiled. "Acupuncture and herbal decoctions will both work. The treatment methods can include clearing heat and resolving dampness, moistening dryness and relaxing the tendons, invigorating blood and unblocking the collaterals, and supplementing Qi and strengthening the spleen."

"Not bad, there are quite a few methods. It will be better in half a month," Xu Wanshan smiled. "But with Little Chen's exquisite medical skills, it surely won't take half a month, right?"

"It won't take that long. She will be able to get out of bed immediately, recover to normal in three days, and it won't affect her life in the future." Chen Yu took out his Silver Needle.

"Chen Yu, can you stop bragging? Who do you think you are?" Zhang Qiang roared angrily. "Are your medical skills even better than Old Xu's?"

He now viewed Chen Yu as a romantic rival. Even though Chen Yu and He Xueqing had just met, he could not accept that Chen Yu was so outstanding.

"Little Chen's medical skills are indeed better than mine." Xu Wanshan's one sentence left Zhang Qiang speechless.

"Old Xu, if it is Guillain-Barre Syndrome, is it a bit impossible to recover to normal in three days?" The attending Yisheng was somewhat incredulous.

"There is nothing impossible. Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and vast. Next, we will see what Little Chen does," Xu Wanshan said with a smile. He had confidence in Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had already taken out the needles. He comforted He Xueqing, saying, "It's fine. Your mother's condition is not serious; she will get better immediately."

"Then I'll leave it to you." He Xueqing bowed deeply to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stopped talking. He picked up the needles and began the Acupuncture.

The purpose of the Acupuncture was to moisten dryness and relax the tendons, and to invigorate blood and unblock the collaterals. This condition belonged to the category of Wei Syndrome in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now that he possessed the first level of the Great Profound Sacred Clarity Scripture, he found treating this kind of illness almost effortless.

Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand. Ten minutes later, the Acupuncture was finished. He performed Acupuncture to channel Qi, unblocking the blood and collaterals. By the time Chen Yu removed the needles, He Xueqing's mother's hands and feet could already move freely.

"Mom, how do you feel?" He Xueqing said with some worry. Previously, her mother could not move her body and could not speak. She did not know if her mother's situation had improved after Chen Yu's Acupuncture.

"I... I feel much better. My hands and feet are no longer numb, and I can move them." As soon as He Xueqing's mother opened her mouth, she was stunned herself. "I can even speak now?"

"After the Acupuncture, two-thirds of the illness is gone. Next, take the medicine according to the prescription, and you will be fully recovered in three days," Chen Yu wrote down a prescription. "Your illness was caused by summer heat, so you must be careful during the summer. Do not use electric fans, avoid raw and cold food, and it will not recur in the future."

"Oh my, thank you so much, young man. You really are our benefactor," He Xueqing's mother said gratefully.

"Haha, no need to thank me. As a Yisheng, my duty is to save people," Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Qiang and said, "If someone treats a patient but attaches unreasonable demands to it, then that person is simply not fit to be a Yisheng."

Zhang Qiang's face turned red. How could he not understand the implication of Chen Yu's words? He gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Little Chen, you came at the right time. I have a serious patient over there; you need to go and take a look for me." Seeing that things were fine here, Xu Wanshan approached Chen Yu.

"Alright, let me give some instructions on dietary habits. Old Xu, please wait a moment," Chen Yu smiled.

"Fine, I'll wait for you outside," Xu Wanshan nodded.

"This is a diet plan. Take it back and have your mother follow it; it will be good for her body," Chen Yu wrote down another prescription.

"Thank you, Chen Yu. I... I am truly so grateful to you." He Xueqing's eyes were red. Within a single day, Chen Yu had helped her twice, and both times were massive favors. She really did not know how to repay him.

"Alright, it was just a small effort. Take your mother and discharge her; there's no need to waste money in the hospital," Chen Yu smiled.

"Alright, I'll find you after I finish the paperwork and treat you to a meal," He Xueqing sniffled and smiled.

"Sure." Chen Yu nodded and turned to walk out.

Zhang Qiang had been standing in the room the whole time. Seeing Chen Yu go out, he then shamelessly stepped forward: "Xueqing, I was wrong just now. I apologize to you..."

"Not necessary. Zhang Qiang, thank you for what happened before. I will repay the favor I owe you," He Xueqing said coldly. "But from now on, please stay away from me. Thank you."

"He Xueqing, what did you say?" Zhang Qiang was furious. "I have a Ning City local household registration, I have a car and a house, and I am now a formal doctor. You come from a single-parent family in the countryside; in what way am I not good enough for you?"
