Chapter 120: Femoral Head Necrosis and Betting

  "Doctor Wang, please, this way to the bedroom." Yao Qingping led Wang Xu into the bedroom, saying politely.

  Yao Qingping attached great importance to Wang Xu this time. In fact, Yao Qingping had the idea of inviting Wang Xu to come and treat his wife's illness several times before, but at that time Wang Xu went to Yun City, and after returning, Yao Qingping was busy receiving famous doctors from all over the world, delaying it all the time, until today Yao Qian suddenly remembered.

  Since the opening of Fusheng Hall, Wang Xu's reputation had actually begun to spread in some circles of the upper class society in Zhongjiang. At that time, people were most interested in discussing Wang Xu's background, and his medical skills were directly ignored by everyone.

  Afterwards, Zhang Qingyun's affairs made Wang Xu's name resound once again in the ears of the crowd. Later, Hua Chaoyang's recovery made these people suddenly realize that this young doctor not only had a mysterious background and strong connections but also exceptional medical skills.

  It was precisely because of these two things that in the past month, there were also wealthy and famous people who came to Wang Xu's Fusheng Hall for treatment, and Yao Qingping had naturally heard about it.

  "Doctor Wang, I'm troubling you this time." Yao Qian also pleaded on the side.

  "I'll do my best." Wang Xu smiled faintly and nodded, walking into the bedroom. There, he saw a woman in her fifties sitting on the bed with her back against the headboard, looking elegant and refined.

  When Yao Qingping brought Wang Xuji in, the familiar woman smiled and nodded at Wang Xuji. Yao Qingping hastily introduced: "This is Wang Xu of Fusheng Hall, Dr. Wang, our new divine doctor from Zhongjiang."

  After introducing Wang Xu, Yao Qingping introduced his wife to Wang Xu: "Dr. Wang, this is my wife, Jin Ping."

  Wang Xu nodded and greeted Jin Ping before sitting down beside the bed. He carefully observed Jin Ping's complexion for a while, then asked in a soft voice, "Has Auntie Jin undergone kidney transplant surgery?"

  "How did you know?" Yao Qingping asked in surprise, his face full of astonishment. Wang Xu had only taken a glance at him and yet he was able to tell that his wife had undergone a kidney transplant surgery. In fact, Jin Ping's current illness was a complication from the previous kidney transplant surgery. But what surprised Yao Qingping even more was that Wang Xu hadn't taken his pulse or asked any questions, but simply by carefully looking at Jin Ping's complexion, he was able to reveal this information. It couldn't help but make Yao Qingping feel shocked, especially since Jin Ping had undergone the kidney transplant surgery in Kyoto, not Jiangzhou, and very few people knew about it.

  Of course, this time in the provincial hospital, this matter is no longer a secret, but with their Yao family identity, they naturally stayed in the high-end ward of the hospital, and few nurses and doctors dared to spread it around casually.

  Not only was Yao Qingping surprised, but Lan Maosheng and Zhu Yunfeng also exchanged a glance, with different emotions. Lan Maosheng thought that Wang Xu had probably come to understand Jin Ping's condition beforehand, as the hospital director Tang Fei was very fond of Wang Xu, and every time during Huachao Yang's hospitalization, Tang Fei personally accompanied Wang Xu.

  Zhu Yunfeng was skeptical, could it be that this young doctor's medical skills were really so good? As an orthopedic master, Zhu Yunfeng had also come into contact with some Chinese medicine techniques and knew that some Chinese medicine masters indeed had the ability to see through hidden secrets. However, Wang Xu was just too young.

  "It can be seen that the five senses correspond to the five internal organs, and any problems with the internal organs will be reflected on one's face." Wang Xu smiled slightly and didn't explain further. He softly asked Jin Ping: "Auntie Jin, stretch out your arm, I'll take your pulse."

  "Trouble." Jinping stretched out her arm, lightly placing it on the bedside, Wang Xu stretched out three fingers and gently placed them on Jinping's wrist, seriously feeling Jinping's pulse.

  Watching Wang Xu taking the pulse, Zhu Yunfeng was shocked again. This traditional Chinese medicine's pulse-taking method seems simple, but in fact, it requires great skill and technique. The posture of the fingers when taking the pulse is also very particular.

  Reach out to touch a pulse on the wrist, many can feel it, but to perceive abnormalities from this subtle pulse is not that simple.

  Why do most Chinese medicine doctors now look at their watches when taking pulses? In fact, it's because they only half understand how to take pulses. They appear to be taking pulses but are actually counting the number of pulse beats and then judging based on time, still using Western medical theory.

  A true Chinese medicine master can diagnose by feeling the pulse, sometimes with just a light touch, in an instant, they can feel the abnormality of the pulse, whether it is strong or weak, slow or rapid, and whether it is irregular.

  Watching Wang Xu's three fingers on Jin Ping's wrist rise and fall in rhythm, sometimes pressing down and sometimes lifting lightly, Zhu Yunfeng finally confirmed that this young doctor had some skills, at least his basic skills were very solid.

  After listening for about three minutes, Wang Xusong let go of Jin Ping's wrist and slowly stood up, saying in a low voice: "Auntie Jin, this illness should be bone pain caused by kidney transplantation, right? Is it stabbing pain in the right leg, unable to exert force?"

  "Not bad." Jinping hastily nodded: "The hospital said that this is femoral head necrosis, and surgery is required to do a prosthetic transplant. However, my situation is so severe that even surgery cannot be performed, I can only endure the pain."

  Wang Xu nodded after hearing this, what he said about bone pain is indeed femoral head necrosis in Western medicine, femoral head necrosis is a very tricky disease, and femoral head necrosis caused by kidney transplantation is currently an internationally recognized medical problem. Because the kidneys are the main metabolic organs in the body, taking medication carelessly may cause kidney damage.

  In traditional Chinese medicine, neither kidney transplantation nor bone marrow transplantation is actually supported. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of entering the body's overall circulation, in simple terms, everything is better in its original state.

  The transplanted kidney, after matching and entering the body, will have a certain degree of rejection. In addition, during the kidney transplant surgery, multiple medications are used to assist, which in itself has significant side effects. As a result, the possibility of re-operating on the femoral head necrosis caused by the kidney is extremely small. After one operation, not to mention other things, just talking about whether the patient's kidneys can withstand the large amount of medication is a big problem.

  In fact, Jinping's situation is even more severe. Two years ago, both of Jinping's kidneys completely failed, leaving her weak and reliant on medication to survive. If it weren't for the wealth and influence of the Yao family, she would have been beyond saving by now.

  With the financial support of Yao's family, Jinping was able to hold on until she found a suitable kidney source and underwent a kidney transplant surgery. The surgery was relatively successful, but there were also great taboos, that is, she could not take medicine randomly, so this time the femoral head necrosis was difficult for a large group of expert doctors who entered the province hospital.

  At present, Jin Ping's situation is such that he must both protect his kidney function from being damaged and control the development of the disease, basically being in a dilemma.

  To control the femoral head necrosis, medication is necessary, but taking medication will inevitably cause kidney damage. However, not taking medication will lead to worsening of the femoral head necrosis, and if it continues, Jinping will have to face amputation. Even with amputation, whether the kidneys can withstand the treatment afterwards is a big problem.

  In fact, for femoral head necrosis, Wang Xu was not the first time to encounter, but like Jin Ping's so complex situation, it was absolutely the first time to encounter, for a moment he frowned, carefully weighing the feasible methods.

  "Dr. Wang, how is it? Can my wife's condition be treated?" Yao Qingping asked cautiously, seeing Wang Xu frowning.

  When Yao Qingping asked, Wang Xu did not answer, but instead furrowed his brow, walked back and forth a few steps, before opening his mouth to say: "Jin Ayi's situation is very special, taking medicine must be extremely cautious. I've carefully considered a prescription that can be tried out, with about a 60% chance of curing it."

  "Six percent!" Yao Qingping was overjoyed upon hearing this and hastily asked: "Doctor Wang, is what you're saying true?"

  Wang Xu hadn't had time to respond, but Lan Mao Sheng, who had been standing on the side, spoke up first: "Doctor Wang, treating illnesses can't be taken lightly. You have a 60% grasp of this? Even if surgery is performed, the success rate isn't even 30%. Don't end up not being able to cure it and miss the best time for surgery, or else the success rate won't even reach 10%."

  "This..." Blue Mosheng said, Yao Qingming was also stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Xu with eager eyes. What Blue Mosheng said was true, in fact, Yao Qingping had been considering surgery all along, but the success rate was too low, so he had been hesitant. If it were really as Blue Mosheng said, and Wang Xu's treatment had no effect, while also missing the best time for surgery, that would be troublesome.

  Looking at Lan Mao Sheng, Wang Xu didn't know why, but a surge of anger rose up in his heart. To be honest, he hadn't had much resentment towards Lan Mao Sheng before, just some dislike for his arrogant attitude, which was why he had directly ignored Lan Mao Sheng when selecting the expert team members to go to Yun City back then.

  Lan Mao Sheng himself had a prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine, and with his arrogant attitude, it was absolutely not suitable for him to become a partner. At that time, the situation in Yun City was unclear, so Wang Xu naturally wouldn't bring such an uncontrollable factor along.

  Just now, when I came to Yao's house, as soon as I entered the door, Lan Mao Sheng's sarcastic words made Wang Xu feel uncomfortable. He didn't mind that he was prejudiced against traditional Chinese medicine, after all, there were not a few people in society who were prejudiced against traditional Chinese medicine. Even the great writer Lu Xun was prejudiced against traditional Chinese medicine, but Wang Xu admired Lu Xun very much.

  Nothing is perfect, and even the best of things have flaws. Therefore, Wang Xu can understand the psychology of those who are prejudiced against traditional Chinese medicine, but if they bring this emotion into medical treatment and launch unprovoked attacks without regard for timing, he will not tolerate it.

  "Director Lan, why don't we make a bet in front of General Yao?" Wang Xu said with a smile, looking at Lan Mao Sheng.

  "What does Dr. Wang want to bet with me?" asked Lan Mao Sheng fearlessly.

  "This time, if I fail to cure Aunt Jin's illness, I will follow Director Lan to learn Western medicine from now on. No matter where we meet, I will show him the courtesy of a junior apprentice. But if I succeed in curing Aunt Jin's illness, then Director Lan should follow me to learn traditional Chinese medicine, and he should also show me the courtesy of a junior apprentice in the future." Wang Xu said calmly.

  " You... " Lan Mao Sheng's face turned red with rage, he pointed at Wang Xu and gritted his teeth in anger. He never thought that Wang Xu would say something like this.

  "What? Director Lan is afraid?" Wang Xu asked with a hint of a smile, not getting angry at all, quietly waiting for Lan Mao Sheng's response.
