Urban Super Medical Saint

"Yes, yes, Doctor Ge, you are absolutely right. This phenomenon started happening four years ago." After the shock, Liu Jiayao nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation and admiration as she looked at Ge Dongcheng.

Ge Dongxu was somewhat uncomfortable with Liu Jiayao's gaze and shifted slightly, pondering for a moment before speaking, "Did something frightening happen to you four years ago, causing your emotions to fluctuate greatly?"

At this point, Liu Jiayao and Tang Yiyuan were so astonished that they could hardly speak.

Especially Tang Yiyuan, as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, he knew how difficult it was for a doctor to diagnose an illness as if seeing it with his own eyes!

"Four years ago, my parents died in a car accident, and I was indeed greatly frightened," Liu Jiayao finally regained her composure after a long while, her eyes slightly reddening as she responded.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to remind you of the painful memories," Ge Dongxu, although able to guess that something frightening had happened to Liu Jiayao a few years ago, did not expect it to be such a tragic event, and he sincerely apologized.

"It's been four years now, and I've gradually adapted. Doctor Ge, can my illness be cured?" Liu Jiayao wiped the corner of her eye and then looked at Ge Dongxu with a face full of hope.

She was still young and naturally did not want to one day faint and never wake up.

"This..." Ge Dongxu looked at Liu Jiayao with a troubled expression on his face.

Seeing the troubled expression on Ge Dongxu's face, Liu Jiayao thought he could not treat her. Her hopeful expression gradually faded, and she gave Ge Dongxu a tragically beautiful smile, saying, "Even though it can't be cured, I still thank you very much."

Seeing the tragically beautiful smile on Liu Jiayao's face, Ge Dongxu felt an inexplicable pain in his heart and blurted out, "I didn't say it couldn't be cured, I just, just..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Just what? You say, no matter how much it costs, one million, two million, five million, I can give it all to you." Liu Jiayao's face suddenly lit up brilliantly, and in her excitement, she abruptly grabbed Ge Dongxu's hands.

"I don't treat illnesses for money! You don't need to worry, it's just that your condition is a bit inconvenient for me to treat," Ge Dongxu said with a wry smile as he gently pulled his hands away from Liu Jiayao.

"Not for money?" Liu Jiayao was slightly stunned, her gaze at Ge Dongxu slowly turning bewildered. She found that she could no longer see through the young man in front of her.

Hadn't he just been selling wild Polygonum multiflorum to make money a moment ago? And what could be so inconvenient about treating an illness?

"Doctor Ge, do you mean to use massage or acupuncture instead of medication?" Tang Yiyuan, after all, was a doctor and had some understanding of Liu Jiayao's condition. In addition, having witnessed Ge Dongxu's miraculous massage technique in the morning on the train, he quickly grasped what Ge Dongxu meant when he said that.

However, Tang Yiyuan's way of addressing Ge Dongxu experienced a subtle change; he no longer called him by his name but switched to Dr. Ge.

Clearly, Ge Dongxu's diagnosis had completely won over Tang Yiyuan!

"You're right. The main reason Ms. Liu experiences dizziness and even fainting is due to blockages in the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, causing hindered circulation, which results in an insufficient supply of Qi-Blood to the heart. The natural treatment method would be to unblock these two meridians. Originally, we could have used medication for treatment, but just now when I was diagnosing Ms. Liu's pulse, I found that she had been previously prescribed a high dosage of medication to unblock the meridians, which damaged her gastrointestinal organs. Now, using more medication might not be appropriate because while it might cure this, it could cause ailments elsewhere," said Ge Dongxu, nodding.

"Cough, cough, that prescription was written by me before, I was indeed rash," said Tang Yiyuan, his face flushing with embarrassment and guilt as he interjected.

"Your idea to unblock the meridians is correct, but the consideration was not thorough enough. A major difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that Chinese medicine treats the human as a whole, not just treating the head for a headache or the foot for foot pain. You only focused on unblocking the meridians, forgetting about Ms. Liu's visceral tolerance, which actually resembles more of a Western medical treatment. Your prescription should have taken these factors into account," Ge Dongxu said.

"What Dr. Ge said is correct," Tang Yiyuan nodded in agreement.

Watching the scene unfold, Liu Jiayao was so shocked that her red lips parted slightly, forgetting about her own medical treatment.

The scene should have been one where a professor lectures a youth, but here it was a youth instructing and criticizing a professor, while the professor nodded continuously like a student.

"Due to this mistake, the current treatment options can only consider acupuncture and massage," said Ge Dongxu, pausing slightly with a hint of difficulty on his face.

As both of these meridians pass through the chest, and the "Tianchi" acupoint of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is even above the breasts, achieving better results would ideally involve a whole-body meridian unblocking. If it were a man, Ge Dongxu would naturally have no hesitation, but for a delicate urban beauty, how could the young man not feel awkward?

Was he supposed to ask this older sister figure in front of him to strip off her clothes for a full-body acupuncture and massage treatment?

"Does acupuncture and massage really work? I went to Professor Wei Min in the capital city for acupuncture before, but it didn't have much effect," said Liu Jiayao, who had previously experienced acupuncture focusing on the chest area in Beijing. Now, she finally understood why Ge Dongxu felt awkward and said it was inconvenient. Although Liu Jiayao was a female executive not typically prone to shyness, her cheeks burned and her voice trembled as she asked.

"If you were just feeling a slight dizziness, ordinary acupuncture would be effective. But since you have progressed to fainting, it suggests that the blockages in your meridians are quite severe, and ordinary acupuncture can no longer help you unblock them; you would need my special acupuncture and massage techniques. Moreover, because of my limited abilities, one session wouldn't be sufficient—it might require seven or eight sessions. And since the meridians are interconnected, a full-body unblocking would be best, especially focusing on the chest area. Sadly, my master isn't here; otherwise, he could cure you in one go," said Ge Dongxu, a wistful look in his eyes that quickly disappeared.

"Since, since that's the case, then, could I trouble Dr. Ge to help me with acupuncture, massage?" Liu Jiayao bit her glowing lips, her voice trembling as she stuttered out her request after a long pause.

"This... how about this? I'll start by prescribing some medicine to regulate your stomach and body, and after about a year or half a year, once your gastrointestinal system is in optimal condition, I'll prescribe you a formula to unblock the meridians. You should be able to be cured after taking it for some time. As there is a distinction between male and female, it's inconvenient for you and also for me, wouldn't you say?" Looking at Liu Jiayao, Ge Dongxu's heart felt a bit uneasy.

ps: Writing two books simultaneously, three updates per day for each has become unsustainable. The old book is nearing its end, and I plan to focus on it in the coming days, so I should be able to wrap it up by next week, which will lessen the mental strain. Therefore, for today and tomorrow, there will be one update in the morning and one in the afternoon, but no updates in the evening. Updates will resume to three times daily next week, and if I finish the old book, conditions permitting, there might occasionally be more frequent updates, but for the next two days, it will be two updates per day. I hope for your understanding.
