C16 Initiation of treatment
Uncle Xie wasn't a doctor, so he didn't think too much about it. He just took the painkillers like that, but who knew that his negligence in the past would cause the consequences today?
Finally, to dispel the last of my doubts, I asked him if he had gone back to the hospital after the long pain.
Uncle Xie said he went and was also recorded by the hospital. They said that there was some inflammation in the heart and blood vessels, that there was no major problem, that they had been prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, that the pain was indeed alleviated a lot, and that it was only until recently that he felt more pain, accompanied by blood and sputum, and returned home after going to the Military Medical Department to check up.
He didn't mention the results from the hospital because Xie Yu was beside him. He didn't want to leak news that he didn't have much time left, so he intentionally glanced at me.
At this time, Xie Yu was already stupefied. She asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you say we were going to tell a story? "Where and where?"
I didn't care about Xie Yu at all, because after Uncle Xie finished speaking, I had already understood everything. I immediately got excited and grabbed Uncle Xie's hand, saying, "Uncle Xie, I finally understand your condition and the reason. I have a way to treat your illness, I'm confident that I can let you live for a hundred years."
Uncle Xie immediately opened his eyes wide. This kind of joke wasn't to be trifled with, let alone in front of Xie Yu.
Naturally, I knew all of this, so I quickly called Aunt Xie over to clarify Uncle Xie's situation in front of them.
After they heard what he said, they immediately stopped believing him and only believed him after hearing his confirmation. Then they started crying and blaming him, saying that he hid such a serious illness from his family, so he had to go to the hospital. He even had the mood to pretend that he was healthy after losing his life, could it be that he would only tell his family after he died?
Uncle Xie had no choice but to tell them the truth because I've already made it clear.
"Auntie Xie, don't listen to me in such a hurry. Uncle Xie's illness is already like this, going to the hospital is useless because they are western doctors. All they can do is cut off the black spots on Uncle Xie's heart area, but Uncle Xie's body doesn't allow for heart surgery anymore."
Hearing my words, Aunt Xie's snot and snot started to sob even louder as she said, 'Are we really going to abandon us and watch Uncle Xie die just like that? We're just pitiful for our lives, if we can't live it's fine, but when we get old we'll have to go home and enjoy our old age.
Aunt Xie cried until I felt bad. I quickly said, "Aunt Xie, don't worry. Since I've told you all about Uncle Xie's condition, it means that I have the means to cure me. Uncle Xie, as long as your family cooperates, I guarantee you a healthy Uncle Xie. The longevity I'm talking about isn't something to be trifled with."
But I'm still a child after all. Uncle Xie is already like this, how could they believe that I could treat him? From the moment they heard that the hospital is helpless, what else can you do, Xiao Qiang.
I smiled and said, Auntie Xie, you know that I know Chinese medicine …
Only then did they remember. "Are you sure?"
I nodded my head. "Uncle Xie's illness is very serious. I will use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat him for a period of time. The results will slowly show. This process will take about a month."
Uncle Xie had seen through everything long ago, so he was confident that even if I didn't believe him, his illness was already at its end. "Xiao Qiang, just go ahead and do it. Since it's already like this, we might as well do it."
Hearing his dejected tone, it was clear that he didn't have much confidence in me. "Uncle Xie, you can rest assured!" This is an illness, I definitely won't act rashly. "
In the end, the Xie Clan had no other choice but to agree. This gave me a chance.
"Since you've agreed, I'll start the treatment right away. I'll go buy some medicine. We'll start when we get back."
Knowing that I was a junior high school student, Aunt Xie gave me two hundred yuan. She said to buy medicine after all, do I need to pay a doctor? So I took it.
Leaving the Xie Clan, I went straight to Tongren Hall Pharmacy, and went straight to the Chinese Medicine District. I bought a corresponding amount of yellow manure, Codonopsis, Angelica sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Osmanthus, Radix Rehmanniae and Radix Schisandrae.
Uncle Xie's condition could already be considered incurable. A simple treatment method would be difficult to achieve the full effect. Only the root of the disease could be recovered, and acupuncture could only be used to assist the patient.
These traditional Chinese medicine are mainly aimed at which black spot, namely the root of the disease congestion.
Afterwards, I returned to the Xie Clan and instructed Aunt Xie on how to simmer before returning home to get silver needles.
This set of silver needles was specially prepared for me by my father. When he had nothing to do, he just took it out and taught me about acupuncture points and meridians. Sometimes he would come out to treat me.
After taking the needle, I immediately went back to the Xie Clan. After waiting for the medicine to be ready, I gave Uncle Xie a bowl of it, and then started the acupuncture business. First, I told Uncle Xie to take off his clothes, and then told the two of them to stay in the living room so that my mistake wouldn't be affected.
Actually, there shouldn't be any mistakes. It's just that Uncle Xie wanted to strip naked so that the mother and daughter wouldn't be embarrassed.
Only then did I realize how severe Uncle Xie's injuries were back then. The area around his chest was filled with hideous scars, especially on his heart. The scars had already turned into a ball of flesh, making him look terrified.
"What are you blanking out for? "Let's begin, I'm ready. Tell me what I need to do."
Only then did I calm down and let him lie on the bed. I took out the medical alcohol that I had brought earlier and detoxified the silver needle before starting to insert it.
Needling is a very important process, I didn't dare to be careless. The depth of the force of the needle, how many turns left and right. This is a technical job, my dad had specially trained me before.
At first, it was rather simple. I used five rings to tie up a spring and let my fingers inside. At that time, I was young and had never practiced using my fingers before, so I couldn't even form a fist.
Seeing that I couldn't take it anymore, he fixed the other end of the spring with a bamboo stick before starting his training. Gradually, his finger strength increased, and he even used his five fingers to bind the stone. The difficulty was still very difficult for me, who was only around 10 years old.
It was only about two months after that, when my father said that he had barely passed the test before he let me go. At that time, the strength of my fingers had already far surpassed my peers, but I had never flaunted them, because I was afraid that those who bullied me would come after me.
It wasn't long before Uncle Xie's back was full of acupuncture points, including his arms and legs. I asked Uncle Xie if he felt any pain.
After about 20 minutes, I pulled out the silver needles one by one according to the acupuncture points and looked at the needles without any trace. I also felt a small sense of accomplishment, this needle hole that I pulled out looks like a technique of Chinese medicine, swelling and aching is normal, but if I bleed it would be a waste of my skills. Fortunately, my father has trained me, so if I can't do this, I will probably need another two months of training.
After doing all of this, I called in Aunt Xie and the rest and asked them about Uncle Xie's situation. Uncle Xie's reply didn't have much effect, just that it didn't seem to be as stuffy anymore.
"It's normal. I've already drunk the medicine and pierced the needle. Although the effect isn't obvious, if it doesn't, then I'll just do my work."
After that, I confidently returned home. There was an indescribable happiness in my heart, and the results only showed that my treatment was correct. Wanting to cure her in a short period of time was simply a joke.
In the days that followed, I went to her house every day as usual, except for supplementary classes, where I treated Uncle Xie like a busybody, except that I slept at her house longer than when I was at home.
By the fifteenth day, Uncle Xie had stopped coughing and his angina was significantly relieved. Afterwards, he went to the hospital to take a CT scan, and the dark spots in his lungs were almost gone. His heart area was also a lot smaller than it used to be.
After Uncle Xie saw the video, he was dumbfounded and unable to speak for a long while.
