Chapter 1244 Damaged Heart Meridian

The problem with Chuanmei's health isn't that it's incurable, but rather that she doesn't cooperate. Her work and rest schedules are irregular, her diet is irregular, and she can't even stick to taking traditional Chinese medicine. It would be a miracle if she got better.

So the group didn't feel sorry for Chuanmei's kidney deficiency at all. After all, even if they gave him a chance, he wouldn't be able to do it. Besides, so what if he's weak? It wouldn't matter if they treated him.

In the living room, none of the men drank tea. Professor Li knew that these young men didn't like tea, so he simply prepared a fruit platter and poured two glasses of water. Then they started chatting.

"Teacher, when is the graduation defense at our school?" Lin Mo asked.

Professor Li: "Soon, after the college entrance exam. But our graduation times are all around the same; our graduation ceremony is on the 28th of this month."

Unlike Lin Mo's ordinary second-tier university, the medical school is one of the few key universities in Jiangning City. It is a first-tier university, and because it is a medical school, a large proportion of its students take the postgraduate entrance examination.

After all, if you don't pursue a master's degree, it's hard to find a good job, especially in top-tier hospitals, where you simply can't get in without a degree.

Therefore, medical schools attach great importance to graduation theses and defenses, as well as graduation ceremonies, because most of the students are graduate students or doctoral students.

There are also students who graduate after four years of university, but they are a small percentage. After all, society is not like it used to be. If a child is ambitious and gets into a good university, and wants to pursue a master's degree, the parents will almost always give their full support.

As for those from impoverished families, there are student loans available. Since this policy was implemented, the number of students taking the postgraduate entrance exam at the university has increased.

In the past, some students had to graduate early because of financial difficulties at home, but now, if someone wants to take the postgraduate entrance exam and gets accepted, very few will give up their studies because they can't afford the tuition.

The scale of graduation ceremonies also varies. Lin Mo's school's graduation ceremony can be described as very hasty. Although he has never experienced graduation, it doesn't mean that he hasn't seen any so-called graduation ceremonies in his years of university. They are really not very interesting.

With that in mind, he made up his mind to come over and join the fun to see what was going on.

After a few casual words, Lin Mo got to the point: "Teacher, this is another classmate of mine in my dormitory. He was interning in another city before and just came back recently. It seems like he has some health problems. Could you take a look and see if you can help him?"

He used to be all muscle and very strong, but as you can see now, he's almost skin and bones.

Hearing this, Professor Li glanced at Old Zhao, then looked at Lin Mo and said, "You've been studying for so long, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Liver qi stagnation, caused by emotions!"

He didn't go into details because he knew the specific reason. Old Zhao's condition was clearly a mental illness, but for it to have affected him to this extent, it was no small matter.

They say that a mental illness requires a mental cure, but where does he get a mental cure? He doesn't have any resurrection coins, and the shopping page hasn't even appeared!

Upon hearing this, Professor Li nodded, then asked Old Zhao to extend his hand. He casually took Old Zhao's pulse, but after a few seconds, his expression became serious.

He then stood up and said, "Well then, you all come with me to the study!"

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that Old Zhao's situation might not be as optimistic as he had thought!

The four then followed Professor Li to his study. Professor Li was no longer as casual as before; he became serious and took the pulse of both hands for several minutes.

When he looked up, his gaze towards Old Zhao was filled with heartache, and he sighed, "Oh, kid, how can you be so resilient? What must you have been going through to get through this?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly asked, "How is he, teacher? What about Old Zhao?"

"The pulse is too weak, it breaks off when you touch it. There is insufficient qi and blood, irregular heartbeat, stagnation of liver qi, poor sleep, mental tension, and many dreams, especially nightmares."

His emotions were fluctuating wildly, and they were all negative. He was emotionally distressed and had a poor appetite, which is why he lost so much weight.

"And most importantly, because of his emotional problems, he's developed heart problems. You must have taken some nitroglycerin, right?" Professor Li asked, looking at Old Zhao. Old Zhao nodded.

Director Wang suddenly realized: "No wonder I saw the bottle of nitroglycerin pills in the trash can. Old Zhao only had a cold, right? Did you know that beforehand?"

Old Zhao nodded: "I saw a doctor back home before, and they confirmed that I do have some heart problems!"

Given his condition, how could there be no one in his family to take him to the hospital?

"A heart problem? Does it require surgery? How serious is it?" Chuanmei asked anxiously from the side.

Professor Li turned to Lin Mo and uttered the conclusion that Lin Mo had guessed but hadn't dared to make up his mind about: "Damaged heart meridian! And it's extremely severe damage to the heart meridian!"

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, damage to the heart vessels is not a trivial matter and may trigger a series of symptoms. Although it may not be fatal at first, there is a good chance that a minor illness can develop into a major one. Old Zhao's condition is already showing signs of this, mainly due to heart problems.

Damage to the heart vessels usually refers to excessive negative emotions, which leads to internal depletion. In Western medical theory, this is essentially a life-saving measure for many young women: depression.

"What should we do? Can it be cured?" Director Wang asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Professor Li took a deep breath, glanced at the three of them, and then said to Lin Mo, "You three go out first, I want to talk to him alone!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo did not hesitate at all and left with the other two.

After they came out, Professor Mu couldn't help but ask, "How is the child?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled wryly and said, "The damage to your heart meridian is quite serious; it has already affected your heart!"

While others might not know, he did know a thing or two: in martial arts novels, damage to the heart meridian is no small matter; at best, it causes a decline in skill, and at worst, it leads to the complete loss of martial arts skills and even death.

While heart and hand injuries in reality may not be as serious as some other conditions, they are still not minor issues. Mild cases may heal on their own after a while, while more severe cases can lead to depression. In more serious cases, they can even cause serious illnesses. People who are constantly angry are not in good health.

Moreover, this has already affected Lao Zhao's heart, so it's no small matter.

"Old Mo, what does it mean when the heart meridian is damaged?" Chuanmei asked.

Lin Mo took a deep breath and said, "To put it simply, it means that a major blow has left a person despondent, living in regret and internal strife every day."

To put it simply, they've suffered a setback and lost their spirit! They've lost interest in everything, appearing as if they have no desires, but inside, there's not a moment when they're not tormented.

It is said that youthful spirit is an irreplaceable thing, and this is absolutely true. When a person loses their spirit, they become unwilling to speak. The greatest sorrow is the death of the heart.

Meanwhile, after Professor Li and the other two left, they couldn't help but say to Old Zhao, "Child, you're so young, how come you look like you might disappear at any moment? If you're in a lot of pain, just tell me. I'm a doctor, and I'll try my best to help you!"

Old Zhao smiled upon hearing this. When he heard Professor Li's first words after taking his pulse, he knew that the old Chinese medicine doctor in front of him was truly remarkable; he was the first person to be able to discern his current condition.

"I'm just feeling a little sad!"
