I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 308 - 274: Another Bunch of Resentful Shells of the Five Organs
I don’t know if it’s because Lan Mei’s livestream was particularly successful.
After the TV station edited a few clips of Lan Mei’s interaction with internet users and posted them online, it immediately caused a lot of people to share it.
Especially one clip discussing the HPV vaccine, which received over 200,000 likes in a single day.
Some people, after watching this clip, felt less anxious and thought it was okay not to get the HPV vaccine.
However, others were furious after watching, believing that Lan Mei is just a trash doctor with an undeserved reputation, actually encouraging others not to get vaccinated.
The internet, you know, always has voices you can’t imagine.
And as the video went viral, the gynecology outpatient department of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital saw an increase in visits.
Basically, they were all there to consult Lan Mei about beauty and skincare.
You can see just how fatal the allure of facial beauty is for women!
Perhaps because of their visits, the number of patients at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital successfully broke through to 6,000, getting infinitely close to Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
As for Lu Jiu, he had no time to go out today.
Because a terminally ill patient came to the department of difficult and complicated diseases.
Zuo Quan from the men’s department had brought him over.
Uremia!
Advanced stage!
Four years of dialysis!
When Lu Jiu saw this patient, his brows never had the chance to relax.
Simply put, uremia is kidney failure.
If it were early-stage kidney failure, Lu Jiu would definitely be confident in curing it.
Because kidney failure isn’t about the physical organ having issues, but rather the kidney’s function to store and seal failing.
Within the body, Fei Jin belongs to metal and must generate water, and in circulation, this water naturally goes to the kidneys, the kidney stores it and turns it into essence, right?
But when the kidney’s function fails, it means it no longer accepts the water generated by the lungs, that is, the fluids.
It’s as if the kidney has sealed off its own channels, blocking the circulation.
But at this time, if there are no major issues with the lungs, they will continuously generate fluids.
When the fluids descend into the lower burner and have nowhere to stay, they can only accumulate above the kidneys, slowly pushing up to the stomach.
By this time, early-stage kidney failure patients will show symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Many people will think it’s the stomach that’s uncomfortable, but the actual issue isn’t with the stomach.
And as these fluids increase more and more, eventually pushing against the diaphragm, the patients will experience dizziness.
These are the two main symptoms of early kidney failure patients.
The solution is actually quite simple.
One dose of Zhenwu Decoction is enough!
In essence, kidney failure is Yang deficiency causing water flooding, too much bad water accumulates in the kidney and can’t be expelled, so naturally it can’t continue to accept the water generated by the lungs.
In the early stage, if the water issue can be resolved while cleansing the kidneys and restoring the patient’s Yang Qi, the kidney function would naturally recover.
But now, that’s not possible!
Advanced kidney failure, coupled with four years of dialysis, undoubtedly posed a double challenge for Lu Jiu.
Firstly, dragged on too long, and second, while dialysis can save lives, it also worsens kidney damage, and even the heart gets affected together.
Originally, treating the kidney should strengthen the heart, but for this patient, just by hearing the description, without even taking the pulse, Lu Jiu knew that the heart-kidney definitely had major issues.
"Dr. Lu, can it be treated?" the patient’s wife asked, feeling extremely anxious seeing Lu Jiu silent.
She actually knew that advanced kidney failure was a terminal illness.
The doctors in the hospital emphasized countless times to her that her husband could only sustain life with dialysis, curing it was nearly impossible.
But people always hold onto a sliver of hope.
Especially upon hearing that Lu Jiu TCM Hospital excels at treating terminal illnesses, they naturally wanted to try.
At this moment, seeing Lu Jiu frown deeply, the couple couldn’t help but feel a shiver in their hearts.
"I’ll take the pulse first." Lu Jiu said.
Realizing that his expression made the couple a bit tense, Lu Jiu adjusted himself and prepared to take the pulse.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ye immediately extended his hand.
His pair of hands were entirely a dull black.
This is the most typical feature of a uremia patient, of course, there’s also the face.
The reason for the black color is entirely because black enters the kidney.
Just like many people with heart problems have a ruddy face.
Once any of the Five Viscera have issues, some of the nutrients in food consumed daily can’t be absorbed by the damaged organ, and these nutrients migrate to the body surface.
As for why Xiang Ye’s hands are white, without any hint of red.
Undoubtedly, the kidney governs bone marrow, which has a blood-producing function, and white hands signify his blood production function is impaired.
Actually, in Lu Jiu’s opinion, the treatment idea of dialysis has no glaring mistakes.
It’s about expelling excess water and toxins from the kidney.
But the method is too crude, and the treatment standard is set too low; dialysis only expels excess water and toxins but doesn’t restore kidney function and is aimed at the blood, which means in TCM theory, dialysis so-called kidney washing is actually heart washing since Heart Governs Blood Vessels.
Doing this, the kidney function doesn’t recover, leading to ongoing issues with the bone marrow for blood creation, and the body remains in a blood-deficient state. The heart, to get blood, continuously raises blood pressure.
So, clinically many hypertension patients eventually develop uremia, and uremia patients, too, relapse into hypertension during treatment, at which time only blood pressure medication can control it until the patient’s heart can no longer bear it.
Ultimately, most of the uremia patients treated in the hospital end up dying from heart failure.
This is the reason!
"It’s really exhausting, adjusting blood every day is so hard, Spleen Earth, squeeze out some more blood." Heart Fire said.
"There really isn’t any more, Heart Fire, I’m already at full capacity, but the cold dampness is too impactful on my metabolism!" Spleen Earth said.
"Forget it, all of you can’t be relied on, this guy is on medication every day not allowing me to raise pressure and boost blood, it’s too much, way too much!" Heart Fire said.
"Don’t be angry Heart Fire, there is always a way!" Spleen Earth said.
"Humph! It’s been ten years, ever since Hydronephrosis got damaged and circulation blocked, the blood I want gets less and less, originally I boost some pressure, get some blood to nourish, but now this guy insists on taking medicine not allowing me to nourish, eat eat eat, not only eating the Hydronephrosis worse but also drawing blood out and putting it back, simply insane, not thinking to help the kidneys, instead messing with the blood and doing things harming me!" Heart Fire said.
"Sigh, what a sin!" Spleen Earth said.
"I also feel it’s meaningless, there’s not much point in continuing like this, he simply won’t change!" Liver Wood said.
"It’s my fault for not regulating the fluids properly in time." Fei Jin said.
"It’s not your fault Fei Jin, the one who harmed the Hydronephrosis in the first place was him!" Spleen Earth said.
"Let it be, let it all end, anyway the Hydronephrosis is already almost done for, might as well die together!" Heart Fire said.
"...." Hydronephrosis said.
Sigh... Yet another group of resentful Five Viscera.
