âNo, thatâs not it...â
The nurse never expected that Elder Huo would protect the girl to this extent. She simply displayed a tiny trace of contempt and he noticed it straight away.
She looked at Song Yaoyao pleadingly, hoping she would speak up for her. But her eyes simply met Song Yaoyaoâs for a few seconds before the girl said indifferently, âGrandfather, Iâm not looking at the medicine anymore.â
âWhy? Are you upset?â Elder Huo patted her on the head. âDonât look at it then. Whatâs so good about it anyway? Itâs been so long and it still hasnâtââ
He paused, looked at Elder Shen, and shook his head.
His old friendâs condition was getting worse by the day. It was hard not to feel heartbroken looking at him.
However, life was unpredictable. That was the truth.
They were getting old and were bound to leave one day. It was only a matter of time.
âHasnât Grandfather Shen considered Traditional Chinese Medicine?â
Song Yaoyao tilted her head curiously and blinked.
Elder Shen was not angered by this. âDo you know what illness I have?â
âIf Iâm right, itâs kidney failure,â Song Yaoyao concluded as she tapped on her lips and thought for a bit. âIâve read about this condition in books. Itâs not impossible to treat. Grandfather Shen, have you done a kidney transplant in the past?â
She spoke naturally without noticing that the experienced old men were shocked by her words.
Elder Huo stared at her. âYaoyao, did you really diagnose Old Shen by yourself?â
âYes,â Song Yaoyao nodded. âAs soon as I entered, I noticed that Grandfather Shenâs hand was abnormally swollen. After that, I saw how his reaction speed was a little slow while playing mahjong, that his breathing was heavy, and his complexion was yellow. Taking his age into consideration as well, I knew there was something wrong with his kidneys. Thus, I took the liberty to guess that he has uremia. However, I havenât checked his pulse yet, so I can only guess. Iâm not sure if Iâm right or not...â
She stuck out her tongue. âIf Iâm wrong, I hope Grandfather Shen wonât be mad. Let me apologize to you~â
The girl was professional and serious when she explained the diagnosis; even the nurse standing at the door was surprised. This girl really did have some skill! !
The four methods of diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine were, look, listen, question, and feel the patientâs pulse. Yet, she simply observed the manâs symptoms and almost got his entire diagnosis correct.
Was Traditional Chinese Medicine really this amazing?
This was the best hospital in Hua Country. If the hospital couldnât cure them, was this girl really capable of doing that?
The men looked at each other and noticed the shock in the other personâs eyes.
Elder Huo couldnât hide his excitement. He pulled Yaoyao over and asked in detail, âBrat, tell me, can your Grandfather Shen be cured?â
Actually, the reason why the old men insisted on staying in the hospital was to accompany Elder Shen. They didnât want him to be all alone. They would be his company so he wouldnât leave the world by himself.
By this point, Elder Shen had already half given up. He was happy to take the medicine, but he wasnât willing to do any procedures. He even refused to stay in the ICU. He looked at his swollen hand and patted the area where his kidneys sat. âThese are already my second set. The doctor said he canât do another one. I guess, this is life!â
âSecond set?â
Song Yaoyao furrowed her brows, stood up, and walked over. âGrandfather Shen, can I check your pulse?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Elder Shen responded quickly, âOkay.â
Everyoneâs gaze fell upon Song Yaoyao. 2 minutes later...
âHe can be treated. But...â
