Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Extraordinary Treatnt
“It looks like Mr. Luo is more open-minded than we thought, actually setting aside his pride and sending his grandson to study at dical University,” Wu Mingyun couldn’t help but remark. “And he didn’t notify anyone. Li, you say, he clearly knew we all work here, so why did he send his grandchild to study without letting us know?”
“That’s just the way he is, it would be strange if he did greet us,” laughed Li Mingxun. “I’m actually grateful that we could find him today, otherwise we would have missed the chance to deepen our relationship with an old friend.”
After saying a few words to Wu Mingyun, Li Mingxun then turned to Luo Ziling and said, “You are Mr. Luo’s descendant, so there’s nothing surprising about your amazing treatnt of Mr. Wang yesterday. Years ago, he gave us a few prescriptions, which were very effective in treating stubborn diseases. I believe the dicine you applied the other day was also personally prepared by him. Moreover, we know that Mr. Luo once practiced a kind of acupuncture skill, very miraculous, called ‘Burning Mountain Fire’ and ‘Piercing Sky Cooling’.”
Luo Ziling was surprised to hear Li Mingxun actually knew about these two acupuncture skills and imdiately responded, “Yes, there are indeed these two acupuncture skills. ‘Burning Mountain Fire’ and ‘Piercing Sky Cooling’ are recorded in the ‘Complete Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion’ by Xu Feng from the Ming Dynasty, but not many in later generations know them, and even fewer are proficient in them nowadays. According to my grandfather, there are no more than ten people in the world who are masters of this skill, including the two of us. Because these two acupuncture skills require manipulating qi during the application, and qi, being invisible and intangible, cannot be learned without a certain foundation in Martial Arts. To manipulate qi and understand the acupuncture skills is not sothing the average person can achieve. Moreover, my grandfather has improved these two skills, making them much better than the original versions.”
These words from Luo Ziling astonished both Li Mingxun and Wu Mingyun.
Wu Mingyun couldn’t help but joke, “It seems that these acupuncture skills should be rightly called ‘Luo’s Acupuncture Skill.’ I think, since your grandfather has already improved the skills, you could apply for a patent with the Traditional Chinese dicine Administration Bureau.”
“My grandfather isn’t interested in these things,” rembered Luo Ziling, recalling that Li Haiyang had ntioned this before, joking that the skills they knew could be called “Luo’s Acupuncture Skill,” but Luo Ziling didn’t pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, Wu Mingyun would say the sa thing today, but he still didn’t take it to heart.
Luo Ziling’s indifferent deanor surprised both Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun.
However, their visit today was to understand the situation of Luo Ziling administering dicine to Mr. Wang, as well as the principles behind his acupuncture technique.
As soon as they heard that Luo Ziling’s applied skills were improved versions of ‘Burning Mountain Fire’ and ‘Piercing Sky Cooling,’ they knew that these two highly profound acupuncture therapies were beyond their full comprehension, and so they beca curious about the dicine.
Mr. Wang, who taught Advanced Mathematics, surprisingly didn’t have any sequelae after suffering a myocardial infarction, and all symptoms had alleviated.
This was vastly different from the results of clinical treatnt, and it seed miraculous to them.
When Mr. Wang was admitted to the hospital yesterday, multiple indicators of myocardial function, including myocardial enzys, troponin, and NR-proBNP were very high. If these “gold standards” indicators for judging myocardial infarction were to be used for evaluation, the patient would still be considered critically ill and in need of symptomatic treatnt.
But by today’s re-examination, these indicators had drastically decreased, to less than half of yesterday’s levels. As experts in cardiovascular diseases, Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun both knew what the decline in symptoms and indicators looked like after the relief of a myocardial infarction.
This “collapsing” drop in indicators and the patient’s symptoms rapidly alleviating with a swift return to health were situations they rarely encountered.
There are many drugs used clinically to treat myocardial infarction, but none have such a pronounced effect on relieving symptoms and lowering indicators. Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun both believed that Mr. Wang’s rapid recovery and swift decline in indicators must be related to the dication administered by Luo Ziling.
If they could get the prescription for this dication and produce it as a finished drug, it could benefit countless patients with cardiovascular diseases.
It was precisely because of this intention that the two academic authorities ca to the church together to seek Luo Ziling.
After an exchange, Luo Ziling roughly understood the intentions of Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun. Of course, he was very eager to contribute the dication so that more patients could receive effective treatnt.
Unfortunately, he only had a few dozen finished pills and knew so of the main ingredients, but he was not clear on the complete formula.
The situation was the sa for the miraculous antiseptic dicine; to this day, he had not fully understood the detailed formula.
Of course, it wasn’t that his grandfather kept it a secret from him. When he was with his grandfather, he had no interest in thoroughly understanding these things, because all he had to do when preparing dicine was to follow his grandfather’s instructions.
Luo Ziling never thought he would need to prepare dicine after he left.
Near the small Northwest village, there were many herbs, and he and his grandfather spent most of their ti in the mountains gathering herbs. It was only there that it was suitable to prepare the dicine. Based on his own experience, Luo Ziling had made new finished dicines with those raw materials and received praise from his grandfather. Those were a few dicines whose formulas he knew well, but for most of the dicines his grandfather made, he was not clear on the formulas, which made things difficult for him today.
When Luo Ziling admitted that he was not clear on the formulas, Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun exchanged looks for a while and couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
They had thought that Luo Ziling was deliberately saying so, not willing to share the ancestral formulas with others, but upon seeing Luo Ziling’s sincere face, they dismissed that suspicion.
“Is it possible to give us a pill for us to take back and analyze the ingredients and proportions?” Li Mingxun hesitated for a mont before making another request.
“Okay, that’s no problem,” Luo Ziling replied. Today he had brought a bag with him, filled with many treasures, and he also carried that dicine with him.
However, since he only had a few dozen in total, he felt that every pill was precious.
Receiving the dicine pill that Luo Ziling had carefully packed in a small bag, Li Mingxun expressed his gratitude sincerely, “Thank you, Ziling. I believe you will also make great achievents in learning Western dicine, and once you have integrated traditional Chinese dicine and Western dicine, your accomplishnts in the dical field will definitely surpass ours. In the future, we can exchange knowledge frequently.”
“Director Li is too kind,” Luo Ziling replied with a bit of shyness, nodding, “I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from Director Li and Dean Wu in the field of dicine.”
“You are welco to co and talk to us about dical matters at any ti,” Li Mingxun agreed readily.
After thinking for a mont, Wu Mingyun extended an invitation to Luo Ziling, “At the end of next month, our hospital has a national continuing education project, focusing on the prevention and treatnt of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There will be many dical authorities attending. If you are willing, you could join the eting as our special guest. At that ti, you could share your insights in this area with all the attendees. How about it?”
Luo Ziling looked at Wu Mingyun in amazent, seeing the sincerity on his face, and ultimately did not refuse: “Well, let’s see when the ti cos. I have never lectured anyone!”
