The old man obediently stretched out his hand and then listened to Bai Jiang’s instructions. He stuck out his tongue and explained his symptoms.
Bai Jiang nodded. “I would do some acupuncture for you and prescribe some medicine. The acupuncture would take five days, and you would need to take these medicines for half a month before you could recover.”
The old man didn’t finish listening and looked disappointed. He said indifferently, “That’s right. I told you that my situation was already hopeless…”
Before he could finish, the old man’s eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up.
His trembling hand wanted to point at Bai Jiang, but just as he raised his hand, he felt that it was very impolite of him to do so, so he put his hand down again.
“You said I could be cured?” the old man asked in astonishment.
Wang Qiang and Wang Mei were as surprised as the old man.
They knew more about the hospital’s diagnosis of the old man than the old man.
Because the hospital did not want to give the old man with this illness any psychological pressure, they only told their family about the situation.
They were very clear about the old man’s condition. It was impossible for him to recover completely, but he could be relieved. However, this would require surgery.
The old man’s body was no longer suitable for surgery, so there was no way for him to recover from his condition.
Bai Jiang said that he could recover.
This was surprising for the three of them.
“I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. You can buy the medicine according to this prescription. It’s best if you can buy it today. The old man’s condition is a little critical,” Bai Jiang said as she took out the needle kit.
“But it seemed a little late now,” Wang Qiang said.
Bai Jiang frowned. “So what if it’s late? It was getting late. Was your dad’s body important? Think of a way to buy it! The acupuncture that I was doing had to be done within three hours. Otherwise, not only would the old man suffer, but his condition wouldn’t be relieved.”
Traditional Chinese medicine classified coronary heart disease as chest pain. It was believed that the pathological basis of coronary heart disease was the deficiency of vital qi and the deficiency of yin, yang, qi, and blood in the heart.
Externally, it was because the seven emotions, diet, fatigue, and other factors had blocked his heart meridians, causing his heart blood to circulate unsmoothly.
When coronary heart disease occurred, it was necessary to remove the phlegm, blood clots, cold congealing, qi stagnation, and other pathological products as soon as possible.
When the condition was stable, it was mainly to relieve the symptoms, strengthen the body, nourish the body, nourish the yin, nourish the blood, and so on.
The old man’s condition was stable now. Bai Jiang only needed to perform acupuncture on a few important acupoints to alleviate his condition.
Of course, he needed to persevere to recover.
After Wang Qiang brought the medicine back, Bai Jiang took a look at the herbs before she started acupuncture for the old man.
When the acupuncture was done, the medicine was ready.
After giving the old man some Chinese medicine, Bai Jiang stood up and left.
Not long after Bai Jiang left, Wang Qiang and Wang Mei sat beside the old man and watched him closely.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” The old man frowned.
“Dad, how do you feel?” Wang Qiang asked.
The old man frowned and quietly sensed the changes in his body.
Of course, that medicine was not a divine medicine. It could not take effect immediately after drinking it.
However, acupuncture was different. When the needles were inserted, the old man felt his heavy heartbeat becoming lighter and faster.
It seemed that his body had indeed improved a lot.
He wasn’t sure if it was just a psychological effect.
He decided to wait until the next day to invite his old friend over to assess his condition.
His old friend was also a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who had previously performed acupuncture on him, but the results were not as good as this time.
“No, immediately call Old Gu! After all, he doesn’t live far away,” the old man said.
The person referred to as “Old Gu” was Gu Chen, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Ancient Wind Town. He was the one who understood the old man’s physical condition the best.
Upon receiving a call from Wang Li, Gu Chen immediately arrived.
“Quickly, take a look. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like my body has improved a lot,” Wang Li extended his hand.
Without hesitation, Gu Chen placed his hand on Wang Li’s pulse.
Initially, he thought it must be Wang Li’s psychological effect because Wang Li’s coronary heart disease had already reached a stage where there was no available treatment.
However, as soon as Gu Chen started feeling his pulse, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
“What’s going on? Did you secretly undergo surgery?” Gu Chen asked.
Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Wang Li chuckled and told him about how Bai Jiang came to treat him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly asked, “Is the prescription still available? Let me see.”
