"You heard it right." Tao Le's tone remained unchanged: "Acupuncture here can cure this disease."
When she said this, Logan didn't believe it at all. But Jian Yuying believed it.
If the illness is urgent, seek medical treatment indiscriminately. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, let alone acupuncture, no matter how outrageous the treatment method is, as long as it can save her daughter, she will believe it.
"Doctor, how long will acupuncture take?" she asked, her eyes filled with sparkling light.
"I will be at the Renhe Free Clinic for a week. During this week, you will come here for acupuncture every day."
Such a serious illness cannot be completely cured in seven days. Tao Le pondered for a moment:
"I will return to Yun City in seven days. If it is convenient, you can come over."
Hearing this, Logan suddenly understood something.
Doctors don't make any money at free clinics here.
But after I went back, it was hard to say.
She would tell them a big story first and let them get her in, and then they would follow her back for treatment regardless. By then, she would only need a few courses of treatment, but she didn't know how much it would cost.
She pulled on Jian Yuying's clothes and shook her head.
What Tang Wan can think of, Jian Yuying can also think of. But she didn't want to let go of this life-saving straw.
"It's okay, Expert Tao. As long as it can be cured, we will go back with you for treatment! There is no problem with the treatment fee. Don't look at us wearing simple clothes, but we still have a small house at home!"
"I sold my house and I can raise the money for treatment no matter what!"
Jian Yuying's face turned red and her heart was full of fighting spirit.
This house is her support and confidence.
A house of nearly 70 square meters in Beijing, and it is in a school district, would definitely be enough to sell for 6 to 7 million.
As long as my daughter can really be cured, none of this will matter!
"Mom, don't sell the house. I'm dead and I don't want acupuncture." Tang Wan hugged Jian Yuying and tears rolled down her eyes.
Tao Le was stunned for a moment before he figured out what they meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Don't get me wrong," she said, "I am here for a free clinic. Even if I go back to Yun City, I will give you acupuncture for free."
"Don't charge a penny until the patient is cured."
"Is what you said true?" Jian Yuying felt that her throat was dry and her voice was rough and sharp.
"The effects of treatment cannot be told, you can feel it yourself."
Tao Le chose Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao, Taibai, Shenque points, as well as Chize, Yinlingquan, Yanglingquan, Shousanli and Zusanli.
The patient's long-term illness and long-term use of hormones have caused fatigue in the meridians. Therefore, the acupoints related to the diseased meridians are first used to regulate the qi mechanism, and then warm yang and replenishing qi can be carried out.
Well, the most important thing is that no matter how you choose the acupoint, if you want to cure it completely, you have to rely on golden fingers.
Tao Le placed the needle on the Guanyuan point, and the golden finger's prompt came:
Please select a treatment plan:
A. Treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. Number of treatments required: 7 times, each time improving health by 6 points.
B. Treatment of hormonal cataracts. Number of treatments required: 3 times, each time increasing health by 5 points.
C. Treat Cushing's syndrome. Number of treatments required: 1 time, improve health by 4 points.
D. Treat lupus nephritis. Number of treatments required: 3 times, each time improving health by 4 points.
E. Treatment of protein-losing enteropathy. Number of treatments required: 1 time, improve health by 3 points.
F. Treatment of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Number of treatments required: 1 time, improve health by 3 points.
There are thousands of roads, but the first one is to treat the root cause. Tao Le chose "A".
"Start treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus. Countdown to five minutes. 299 seconds, 298 seconds."
When the countdown ends, a sweet prompt sounds: "The treatment is completed. The patient's health value is increased by 6 points. Acupuncture increases the health value by an additional 1 point. The total health value is increased by 7 points."
"A total of 6 points of pathogens were absorbed during this treatment, and the equivalent value was converted into life source energy. The current balance of life source energy is 6 points. Do you want to infuse it back into the patient? Yes/No."
Tao Le thought for a while and chose "No."
Regarding the source of life energy, she has had some new thoughts recently.
Normally, if the patient's disease is cured, they can live a long life.
However, it is definitely impossible for a normal person to live to the maximum lifespan. For example, as Goldfinger reminded before, using life source energy can increase the life of a first-level creature to 150 years old.
Therefore, this kind of life source energy transformed by pathogens is actually quite mysterious.
She planned to wait until the patient's disease was completely cured before studying whether and how much transfusion should be given.
Tang Wan was sweating profusely and stood up to put on her clothes, feeling a sense of relief that she had not seen for a long time.
Within a few minutes of acupuncture, she felt warm and comfortable all over her body, and her fever also subsided.
The chest tightness, flank pain, and nausea and vomiting that had always haunted her seemed to have faded away now.
Is acupuncture so effective for lupus erythematosus?
"Expert Tao, I feel very good, just like before I got sick. Thank you." She tried her best to express her gratitude.
In fact, she had almost forgotten how she felt when she was free from illness and pain.
"Don't worry, I said, stick to the treatment and you will recover." Tao Le comforted her gently.
"Thank you, Doctor Tao!" Jian Yuying was overjoyed. She didn't expect that just one acupuncture session could make her daughter feel so comfortable. This greatly enhanced her confidence in Tao Le.
When I got home, it was almost noon. The porridge she cooked in the morning was still warm, so she immediately took out a bowl and quickly fried some small tofu to serve her daughter with the porridge.
Logan picked up the bowl and took a deep breath.
She always felt nauseated after eating anything, which made her even more uncomfortable after eating, but she had to eat.
But today's bowl of porridge seems to be more fragrant than before.
Even the ordinary fried tofu becomes more delicious.
Tang Wan drank a small bowl of porridge, but did not feel any discomfort.
If there was any problem, it was that she didn't seem to have enough to eat.
"Mom, is there any more porridge? I want another bowl."
"Yes, yes!" Jian Yuying hurriedly walked into the kitchen, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with one hand, and grabbed the rice spoon with the other.
How long has it been since your daughter asked for more food? She couldn't even remember. It's great to be like this today.
After eating, Logan felt tired for a long time.
When Jian Yuying packed her things and entered the house, she saw that her daughter was already asleep. The early winter sun shines on the bed, adding a little warmth to the small house.
A smile appeared on her face, then she opened her phone and found a WeChat group.
"Become a butterfly out of cocoon".
Although the name sounds nice, it is actually a communication group for lupus patients.
There are hundreds of people in the group, all patients with various degrees of lupus erythematosus and their families.
We usually exchange treatment experiences and disease progress here, and also help each other, care and encourage each other.
Over the years, this group has become her spiritual support.
She thought for a while, then explained the situation of taking Logan to the doctor today, and then emphasized:
"Expert Tao said that she can cure lupus erythematosus with acupuncture. Do you want to try it too?"
Her words were like a drop of water falling into oil, causing an uproar in the group.
