Chapter 156: Diagnosing Illnesses by Looking at Palms

  Peng Shan was surprised, not because he looked down on Wang Xu, but because they were roommates in college and had been classmates for four years, so naturally he knew that Wang Xu's medical skills were solid, but he had never seen Wang Xu seriously treat a patient.

  In fact, Pengshan had already thought highly of Wang Xu. During the last trip to Yuncheng, both his teacher Liu Qiancheng and Yun Cheng's Chinese medicine master Yun Chongzi, had praised Wang Xu extremely, and even several people planned to set up a special training class for young Chinese medicine practitioners, with Wang Xu as the only candidate for the class leader.

  Although this matter was delayed due to Wang Xu's accident and has not been completed yet, there is no doubt that Wang Xu's medical skills are unquestionable.

  Wang Xu's age was indeed too young, Peng Shan thought highly of Wang Xu, but didn't think that Wang Xu had reached the same level as his teachers Liu Qiancheng and Yun Chong.

  Peng Shan followed Liu Qiancheng to intern at the Provincial People's Hospital in Gaochuan Province, so he naturally knew what the Provincial People's Hospital was. The provincial people's hospital is basically the best hospital in a province, whether it's hardware equipment or medical resources, they are all the best.

  The Provincial People's Hospital, in addition to its normal outpatient services, is also responsible for providing physical check-ups for provincial and ministerial leaders. Such a place is definitely a gathering of famous doctors. However, the patients who are currently staying at the Provincial People's Hospital have come to this small clinic seeking help from Wang Xu, which is beyond Peng Shan's comprehension.

  Feng Shaoyu and Feng Shao didn't notice Peng Shan's abnormality. After Feng Shaoyu finished speaking, Chen Zhongwen continued: "Doctor Wang, to be honest with you, my father has been in the provincial hospital for a week now, and his condition is quite tricky. Dean Tang Fei also suggested that I come over to find you."

  "There's no need to mention whether it's troublesome or not, Mr. Feng and President Chen are too polite. Practicing medicine and treating illnesses is my duty anyway. I don't know how severe Old Man Chen's condition is, if it's severe, we'll go there immediately." Wang Xu hastily said with a smile.

  Seeing Wang Xu being so easy-going, Chen Zhongwen suddenly felt a sense of relief. Before coming, both Tang Fei, the director of the Provincial People's Hospital, and Feng Shaoyu had repeatedly reminded him to be polite when meeting Wang Xu, as this Dr. Wang was not someone who could be driven by benefits. Just a few days ago, he had refused a 1 billion dollar consulting fee from the Japanese Ocean Group.

  For Japan's Far Ocean Group, Chen Zhongwen was also a familiar name. He was originally a businessman and had done big business in Xijiang City. It was said that the chairman of the Far Ocean Group, Nangong Xiong, had passed away two days ago. Unexpectedly, this Nangong Xiong had also looked for Wang Xu.

  Having received Feng Shaoyu and Tang Fei's warnings, Chen Zhongwen was cautious when he came. Seeing Wang Xu being so young, although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't dare to show any disdain.

  "The condition is not urgent, Dr. Wang, you can come over tomorrow if you have time." Chen Zhongwen hastily expressed, and handed over a business card: "Dr. Wang, this is my card, please call me when you arrive, I'll meet you at the entrance."

  "It's easy to say." Wang Xu took the business card handed over by Chen Zhongwen, smiled and nodded. He had a three-not-cure principle for treating illnesses, which was true, but he couldn't investigate every patient who came, whether he knew them or not. After all, he was running a clinic, not a police station.

  Unless this person had heard of his reputation beforehand, he would have been very polite at the first meeting. After all, sometimes treating illnesses and saving lives cannot be delayed. If the other party was a good person, by the time he investigated and found out, it might be too late to rescue and treat him.

  Chen Zhongwen didn't know this, and was reminded by Feng Shaoyu and Tang Fei that Wang Xu was difficult to talk to, so he carefully handed over his business card and didn't stay long, standing up and preparing to leave.

  "Director Chen is in such a hurry, I still have things to ask Mr. Feng." Wang Xu said with a smile.

  "I don't know what's wrong with Dr. Wang, but if I do, I'll definitely help." Feng Shaoyu hastily expressed his attitude, and Wang Xu agreed so readily that as the introducer, he also gained face.

  "It's not a big deal, Mr. Feng has been in Zhongjiang for a long time, I just want to ask you if there is a way to get a passport quickly when going abroad?" Wang Xu asked with a smile, he originally wanted to ask Qiao Bin and others about this matter, but since Feng Shaoyu was here, he might as well ask him.

  "Dr. Wang, are you planning to go abroad?" Feng Shaoyu asked in surprise, and even Chen Zhongwen became alert. His father's illness was quite troublesome, and it was estimated that he wouldn't recover in just one or two days. If Wang Xu was planning to go abroad, it would be a problem.

  "It's not me, it's Dr. Peng." Wang Xu smiled and said: "Something urgent came up at the last minute, I'm thinking of going to New York."

  "It's like that." Feng Shaoyu nodded and said, "This is easy to say, whether it's me or Director Chen, we both have connections in this area. Give me Dr. Peng's documents, I'll take care of this matter for you, at most three to five days, it should be fine."

  "Really, thank you so much." Wang Xu hastily expressed his gratitude. This matter should be done as soon as possible, the later it is delayed, the higher the probability of Song Jinhui's illness being cured. If someone else were to get ahead of him, all his preparations would be in vain.

  It has been twenty days since he gave Song Jinhui a treatment, and at most two or three more days are needed for Song Jinhui's illness to be cured on its own. This time is not sufficient.

  "Doctor Wang is being polite, it's just a small matter, no need to thank me." Feng Shaoyu waved his hand and said.

  "Hehe, okay, I'll hand it over to you tomorrow." Wang Xu smiled and said. He didn't expect that Feng Shaoyu would return coincidentally, and Peng Shan's things were still in his house. As for Yang Han, she was an American citizen with a long-term Chinese visa, so she could leave at any time.

  Three people were talking, a woman in her fifties brought a girl of twenty-four or five into the clinic. Seeing these two people, Zhao Kai hurriedly welcomed them and invited them into the clinic before saying to Wang Xu: "Master, this is Liu Ayi who sells vegetables at the nearby market, and this is her daughter Zhao Juanjuan. She came once at noon, I couldn't be sure, originally wanted to call you, but Liu Ayi didn't let me, said to come again in the evening."

  Wang Xu heard and hastily informed Feng Shaoyu of his crime, then got up and walked over. Chen Zhongwen and Feng Shaoyu had originally planned to leave, but seeing the arrival of a patient, they temporarily stayed behind and sat down on the side to watch.

  "Liu Auntie, this is Dr. Wang." Zhao Kai hastily introduced as Wang Xu walked over.

  "Dr. Wang, hello, this child has been acting strange for the past two days, one moment he's burning hot and the next he's shouting that he's cold, he had a seizure at noon, but I didn't call you because I knew you were busy." The woman said hastily.

  "Sit down, Aunt Liu. Take your time." Wang Xu smiled and let the woman and girl sit down in front of the examination desk, and he also pulled over a stool to sit in front of them.

  "To be exact, it was two days ago at noon. She was fine, but suddenly shouted that she felt cold, and after a while, she shouted that she felt hot. When she felt hot, she sweated profusely, and when she felt cold, her whole body trembled, in waves."

  "Is your name Zhao Jujju?" Wang Xu looked at the girl and asked: "May I call you that?"

  "It's okay, Doctor Wang." The girl looked a bit introverted and didn't seem to like talking much. When Wang Xu asked her questions, she was a bit shy.

  "Hmm, then I'll call you Liu Juanjuan. What's your current feeling?" Wang Xu asked softly, observing the girl's expression while asking.

  "It was hot outside just now, and it's starting to get a bit cold." Liu Juanjuan said, tightening her clothes as she spoke. The woman saw this and hastily put an overcoat she had brought with her on Liu Juanjuan.

  Listening to the woman and Liu Juanjuan's account, Wang Xu furrowed his brow in contemplation. According to this, it seems that she had symptoms of chills and fever, which should be a cold and heat symptom. At this time, it was the sweltering summer when epidemic diseases were prevalent, and people suffering from cold and heat illnesses were not uncommon.

  "Put out your right arm and let me take your pulse." Wang Xu said to Liu Juanjuan, lost in thought.

  Liu Juanjuan heard this, stretched out her white arm and placed it on the examination desk. Wang Xu's fingers touched hers to feel her pulse. Male left, female right, Wang Xu first felt Liu Juanjuan's right hand pulse. After feeling her pulse, Wang Xu was curious. The three parts of Liu Juanjuan's pulse - inch, guan, and chi - did not show any signs of cold evil.

  Listening to what the woman said, this symptom of illness should be very serious, but there is no sign of cold evil in the pulse, which is strange.

  Perplexed for half a day, Wang Xu was unable to figure it out, so he picked up Liu Juan's wrist, spread open her palm and examined it carefully. Only then did he discover the clue.

  Liu Juan's right palm has a long and deepened thenar eminence, which is a symptom of excessive thinking, not any cold or heat symptoms.

  Having figured out the reason, Wang Xu subconsciously took a glance at the woman's face and then tentatively asked: "Aunt Liu, have you and your husband divorced?"

  "How did you know?" The woman's face was filled with surprise, she suddenly stood up and stared at Wang Xu in shock. She had indeed divorced her husband and it had been three years since the divorce. After coming to Zhongjiang, in order not to be bullied, this matter was unknown even to the few people who bought vegetables with her.

  "Aunt Liu, please sit down and don't get agitated," Wang Xu hastily comforted her. After she sat back down, he explained: "Juan's illness is caused by excessive longing. This longing could be due to having a boyfriend or missing loved ones. I suddenly saw your complexion earlier, which was not balanced in terms of yin and yang, so I made an impulsive guess."

  "...Listening to Wang Xu's explanation, the woman couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable. How did Wang Xu guess her divorce situation so accurately? It was even more accurate than fortune-telling or physiognomy."

  "Mom, I just miss my dad so much. Lately, every day in my dreams, I dream of him. Can you please let me go back and see him?" Liu Juanjuan said with a choked voice.

  "Dr. Wang, is Juan's illness really caused by her missing her father?" The woman asked with difficulty, biting her lip, obviously recalling a painful memory after hearing her own daughter say the same thing.

  "It's all right, it's just overthinking. I'll prescribe a remedy for her to take when she gets back, which can alleviate the symptoms a bit. However, heart disease requires heart medicine, and the best solution is still to let her see his father." Wang Xu nodded and said.
