Chapter 106 Poison of the Five Organs
Gu Yun was unaware of how Li Yi and her daughter met, but she didn't press the matter.
"Dr. Li, for some reason, my daughter suddenly started feeling unwell about two weeks ago. Later, after examination by Dean Xie and his team, we learned that Xiyue's liver was severely failing and she can only undergo a liver transplant now."
However, her blood clotting function is currently too poor, making the surgery very risky. Therefore, I can only trouble you with this.
Li Yi shook his head. "Don't rush into the surgery. Let me take her pulse first."
"no problem!"
Just as Li Yi reached the bedside and was about to take her pulse, the girl lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.
Wu Xiyue felt that she was getting sleepy more and more lately, and each time she slept for a very long time.
I don't know how long I slept this time.
However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome man in his twenties standing in front of her.
This guy looks familiar...
Just as a thought popped into Wu Xiyue's mind, she heard the handsome man in front of her smile and say something to her.
"Beautiful lady, do you remember me? We met at the library about two weeks ago."
"It's you!" Upon hearing Li Yi's reminder, Wu Xiyue immediately remembered, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that her daughter really knew Li Yi, Gu Yun introduced him to her, saying, "Xi Yue, this is Dr. Li. He came here today specifically to treat your illness."
"What? You're a doctor?" Wu Xiyue's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
"That's right, I'm a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
Li Yi nodded, and then continued, "Back when we were in the library, I noticed that you had some liver problems, and I reminded you to be careful with your liver."
I just didn't expect that in just over half a month, your condition would become so serious.
It turns out the other person meant "my little darling," not "my little darling."
Thinking back to the previous misunderstanding, Wu Xiyue felt a little embarrassed. "Dr. Li, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. My name is Wu Xiyue, you can just call me Xiao Wu."
"It's alright, Xiao Wu, let me take your pulse first."
"Um."
Wu Xiyue obediently extended her right hand.
Because of her thin physique, the veins on her fair wrists were clearly visible.
Although traditional Chinese medicine uses four diagnostic methods—observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—palpation is the most crucial for truly understanding a patient's internal condition.
Li Yi placed two fingers on Wu Xiyue's body and carefully examined her condition before gradually frowning.
"Xiao Wu, have you been feeling weak all over lately, often sleepy, and having many dreams?"
Wu Xiyue hadn't had much hope for Li Yi to begin with.
After all, even the experts at the Central Hospital couldn't do much about his illness.
Moreover, Li Yi is so young, so his medical skills probably aren't that great.
However, since the other party was invited by her mother, she obediently cooperated.
But now, Li Yi only needed to take his pulse to accurately describe his symptoms.
She paused for a moment, then immediately said, "That's right, I'm saying the same thing now."
Li Yi nodded upon hearing this, and then immediately withdrew his hand.
Seeing that he had finished his diagnosis, Gu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Li, given Xi Yue's condition, do you have any way to increase the success rate of her surgery?"
"Surgery?" Li Yi shook his head. "Ms. Gu, Xiao Wu is currently suffering from a chronic poisoning. Surgery would be completely useless."
Poisoning?
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Nonsense! The patient clearly has acute liver failure, how could it be poisoning?"
After receiving Xie Zhenguo's call, Zhang Yuanshan rushed over and overheard Li Yi's words as soon as he entered the ward.
So he immediately retorted.
Li Yi glanced at the other person and explained, "Xiao Wu's current symptoms are indeed liver failure, but the root cause of all this is the toxins in her body."
"impossible!"
Zhang Yuanshan shook his head. "We've done countless tests, and all the blood indicators prove that the patient only has liver cell damage. Apart from that, there are no other abnormalities."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Li Yi, waiting for him to explain.
"The poison in Xiao Wu's body is a poison for the five internal organs. This kind of toxin only affects the five internal organs, which is why you won't find anything abnormal when you check his blood."
Moreover, Xiao Wu is currently only experiencing liver failure. This toxin will subsequently affect his heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. A liver transplant alone cannot solve the problem.
"Hmph! What poison of the five internal organs? I am a renowned internal medicine expert, and in all my years of practicing medicine, I have never heard of such a thing. You, a mere brat, dare to spout nonsense here with just some random name."
Seeing that Zhang Yuanshan couldn't give a reason at all and could only use his status as an expert to put on airs, Li Yi immediately frowned and asked, "Then may I ask this expert, what do you think is the root cause of Xiao Wu's liver failure?"
"I......"
Zhang Yuanshan was immediately rendered speechless by the question.
All the experts at the Central Hospital have discussed the matter countless times, but they still can't figure out the real cause of Wu Xiyue's illness.
Seeing this, Wang Tao immediately retorted sarcastically, "Well, you don't even know the cause of the patient's illness, yet you still want to perform surgery. Truly worthy of being experts from a major hospital!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanshan immediately turned red in the face and his neck became thick with suppressed anger.
However, he couldn't find a reason to refute it for the time being.
Upon seeing this, Xie Zhenguo's entire face turned green.
The liver transplant surgery was performed, but the conclusion was reached only after numerous consultations among all the experts in the hospital. If they cannot find a reason to refute Li Yi now, the entire hospital will lose face.
Therefore, Xie Zhenguo could only bite the bullet and say, "Ms. Gu, it is a fact that your daughter is currently experiencing liver failure. Although we cannot find the cause, that does not necessarily mean that she has been poisoned."
After regaining his senses, Zhang Yuanshan immediately chimed in, "That's right! Kid, you said the patient was poisoned by some kind of toxin affecting the five internal organs, what test data can prove it?"
Li Yi shook his head. "The toxins in Xiao Wu's body are quite special and cannot be detected by normal means for the time being."
"Hmph! There are toxins in this world that can't be detected? You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Yuanshan sneered, his face full of disbelief.
"Who are you calling nonsense?" Wang Tao retorted, immediately displeased. "If you can diagnose every disease, how come you still can't figure out the cause of the patient's illness?"
"you......"
Zhang Yuanshan was speechless again. "Anyway, I just don't believe in any poisoning. The best thing to do now is to perform a liver transplant on the patient."
Actually, Li Yi doesn't have any prejudice against Western medicine. However, there are indeed many diseases that cannot be detected by machines and equipment.
For example, Wang Tao's current condition of impaired internal organs cannot be detected by Western medicine alone.
Whether Zhang Yuanshan believed it or not, he couldn't make the decision anyway, so Li Yi was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
He turned directly to Gu Yun and said, "Ms. Gu, I am absolutely certain that Xiao Wu has been poisoned. If you are willing to trust me, I can give her acupuncture treatment right now."
