I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 300 - 266: Lu Xiaoxi, Kidney Deficiency

Crack, crack~~

The bones made two crisp sounds.

Lu Jiu then withdrew his hand.

His actions were swift, and he controlled his strength very well, without any hesitation.

That's how bone setting is: the slower you are, the more likely you are to cause the patient secondary injury.

Of course, the instant the bone is set back, that pain also wakes the patient up.

Feeling the intense pain in the body, the patient began to moan.

At the same time, Wang Xu brought over the Red Bean Danggui Powder and let the patient take it with some water.

After finishing all this, Lu Jiu didn't make any further actions.

It's not that they can't handle it, but it's in the realm of emergency treatment, and since the patient is no longer in life-threatening danger, the rest naturally waits for the ambulance.

After all, a car accident is an incident, and the injured need to do injury assessments. Since they don't have advanced instruments or equipment here, they can't forcibly keep the patient in the hospital.

So, what Lu Jiu and the team could do for free up to this point was already considerable.

"Is anyone here who knows him?" Lu Jiu looked at the crowd.

"I, I'm his friend." A man in his thirties spoke up.

"He's no longer in life-threatening danger now. Wait until the ambulance arrives to take him away," Lu Jiu said.

"Oh, oh, alright." The man said this, then suddenly added, "Dr. Lu, can I help him up?"

Lu Jiu said, "Help him up. I'll have the nurse clear a bed for you."

After all, after being hit, someone had already helped him up. It seemed impossible for him to lie back down to recover his energy circulation.

Since the harm had been done, it was obviously inappropriate to let him keep lying in the corridor.

Soon, the sound of an ambulance siren was heard outside the hospital.

Lu Jiu had someone bring the medical staff from the ambulance inside and then had the patient carried away.

The hospital then returned to its routine state.

Lu Xiaoxi didn't understand much about medicine but was good at understanding the live comments.

From netizens' comments, she found that Lu Jiu's bone-setting technique just now seemed pretty impressive, apparently even better than some old bone-setting doctors in big hospitals.

Of course, whether the netizens were exaggerating, she couldn't be sure.

After waiting for another half hour, Lu Xiaoxi's number was finally called in the gynecology clinic.

Lu Xiaoxi entered the clinic holding her phone and walking laboriously.

Lan Mei saw a young girl enter, holding a phone stand, and curiously asked, "Young lady, are you recording a video?"

Lu Xiaoxi waved her hand, "No, no, I'm live streaming. Don't worry, doctor, I'm filming myself."

Lan Mei didn't mind much, as many doctors in big hospitals engage with new media, recording and uploading some case videos online during consultations, though Lan Mei had never done so.

"Well, then you must consider well. I'll say whatever I think later," Lan Mei said.

Lu Xiaoxi generously replied, "It's fine, say whatever you want. I have no secrets in front of them."

Seeing this, Lan Mei said no more, allowing the two accompanying doctors to check Lu Xiaoxi's pulse first.

After their diagnosis, Lan Mei also began to examine.

"Have you had some pain in your heels recently?"

Lu Xiaoxi was stunned, "Yes, a bit."

Lan Mei continued, "Is your menstrual flow also low, with your lower abdomen feeling slightly cold?"

Lu Xiaoxi nodded, "Uh-huh."

Lan Mei said, "It's a minor issue, some kidney energy deficiency, insufficient essence and blood, leading to a deficiency in the Sea of Blood, resulting in decreased menstrual flow and darker menstrual color. Nourish kidney to boost essence, nourish blood to regulate menstruation; you can either take medication or opt for dietary therapy, it's up to you."

Could I choose?!

Lu Xiaoxi curiously asked, "Doctor, what does dietary therapy involve?"

Lan Mei laughed, "It's medicinal cuisine, combining Chinese medicine with food; the effects aren't as strong as pure Chinese medicine, but it's delicious, just like dining at a restaurant. Your situation isn't particularly severe, so both medicine and dietary therapy are viable options. Of course, I recommend Chinese medicine, though more bitter than medicinal cuisine, it's cheaper."

Although the medicinal cuisine department is a profit-making part of the hospital, Lu Jiu clearly instructed them not to easily recommend medicinal cuisine unless necessary.

Always approach matters from the patient's perspective—let them choose what they wish to consume.

If regulatory bodies discover a forced recommendation of medicinal cuisine, salaries might be docked.

Lan Mei naturally didn't object to this regulation, and she also felt that the young girl before her likely is a student whose living expenses might be tight, making medicinal cuisine unaffordable.

Out of economic consideration, Lan Mei recommended Chinese medicine to the young girl.

Lu Xiaoxi has had Chinese medicine before, and she knows that "bitter" essentially equals "hard to swallow."

If medicinal cuisine could replace Chinese medicine, she'd be willing to pay more, having enough to afford meals at least.

"Well, I'd like to try dietary therapy." Lu Xiaoxi said.

Lan Mei seriously said, "Think it over, if you opt for dietary therapy, the cost for three meals might run fifty or sixty a day, several times more than Chinese medicine."

Only fifty-six?

Lu Xiaoxi was even more certain now, "Uh-huh, dietary therapy."

Oh?

Seeing her unfazed by the price, Lan Mei understood the young girl probably had means, "Alright then, I'll prescribe you a dietary therapy plan. Take it to the medicinal cuisine department, and they'll arrange proper meals for you daily."

Wow!

Three meals all arranged? That's too considerate!

Lu Xiaoxi suddenly remembered why she came, "Doctor, can I have a beauty treatment prescription too?"

Lan Mei, writing out the dietary plan, heard Lu Xiaoxi ask about beauty treatment and chuckled, "It seems our hospital's beauty treatment department is quite famous; you're not the first to ask about it."

"From checking your pulse, your five viscera and six bowels seem fine. You just tend to stay up late and eat unhealthily, causing a deficiency of body fluids, leading to dry skin and occasional acne."

"Though you wear makeup, I can tell from your internal body reactions that after removing it, your face probably lacks color, and your skin is dry not only from the loss of internal body fluids but also from frequent face washing."

"The sheen on our face isn't just oil; it's an outward manifestation of energy, protecting our skin. Less isn't good, but too much isn't either. So if you can, try to go without makeup as much as possible to reduce face washing."

"Regarding skincare, I'll give you a formula to try, see if Chinese medicine's beauty solutions work better for you than commercial skincare products. Our beauty department is an experiment; don't believe everything you hear, just trust what's suitable for you!"

These days, Lan Mei had seen too many girls scammed over their looks.

At the sight of an ad claiming skincare benefits, they'd rush to buy without thought.

Especially with all sorts of outlandish claims from businesses about 'luminous skin' and 'hydrating masks', they're all lies, but some people still believe them.

Upon hearing Lan Mei's repeated warnings, Lu Xiaoxi felt warm inside.

"Uh-huh, I understand, doctor."

Soon, Lan Mei finished writing the prescription, instructing Lu Xiaoxi to first visit the medicinal cuisine department with the dietary therapy prescription, then proceed to the beauty department for the Chinese herbal formula.

Lu Xiaoxi noted all down, then left the clinic with her phone.

But as she looked up at the live comments, she suddenly noticed a flood of identical comments—all saying the same thing.

"Hahaha, Lu Xiaoxi's kidney deficiency!"

In an instant, Lu Xiaoxi's mind went blank!

Fuming, she glared at the comments in the live stream room.

How am I kidney deficient?!

The doctor clearly said kidney energy deficiency, insufficient essence and blood.

Besides, how can a girl have kidney deficiency?!

Everyone in the live stream room deserves a scolding!
