Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1881 Systemic Treatment
After chatting for a while, Bian Mu found that Director Wu's son was indeed quite easy to communicate with. He was reasonable, well-mannered, and knew how to conduct himself... After all, he graduated from a prestigious university, and that made all the difference.

but……

He knew almost nothing about the details of Wu Jinshuo's health and daily life.

Bian Mu privately expressed his deep understanding of this. As a fellow member of the younger generation, he also had limited ability to care for his parents in terms of their lives, especially since he was a very capable professional doctor.

"Your father suffered a penetrating wound to a non-life-threatening area of ​​his left thigh, which damaged the meridians of the femoral system. There are significant differences in the understanding of this between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine. At the time, there were no obvious accompanying fractures or bone cracks, and your father likely didn't receive timely intervention. Over the years, I'd appreciate it if you could confirm this for me. Secondly, as an outsider, I have a clearer perspective. I haven't seen Director Wu for quite some time, so I'm certainly more sensitive to changes in his health than you, his children. According to the principles of 'observation' in Traditional Chinese Medicine, your father's bone structure and related bone energy values ​​indicate that he is at least ten years older than his peers." "To put it simply, a person in their sixties has the bones of someone in their seventies. Therefore, using a surgical reinforcement plan based on that of a person in their sixties will only make their bones more brittle. Repeatedly using screws will only increase the difficulty of all subsequent surgeries. For example, in an old, very old residential area, if you add heavy elevators and replace large indoor and outdoor pipes, does that make the building's rigidity worse or more stable? Therefore, your father's bone injury is actually a problem of bone remodeling. Surgeries such as plate reinforcement or intramedullary nailing must carefully consider whether the surgical environment allows it." Bian Mu patiently explained repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Director Wu's son's expression gradually became serious.

"From what you're saying... my dad's follow-up treatment is going to take a long time?"

"That's absolutely right! You children need to work on his mindset in this regard. As far as I know, your father has a strong personality, and some things... it's more convenient for you family members to handle them. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to help!"

"I understand. I'll have a good talk with my mom later." Director Wu's son's attitude was quite sincere.

"Hey! That's right, you seem like a smart and easy-going person! Don't let my past relationship with your father fool you; we've never even spoken a word to each other, we're practically strangers. There are some things it's not appropriate for me to handle. Tomorrow morning, could you please go to our hospital and buy some medicine for Director Wu? It's something I developed, to nourish bones. The dosage might be quite large, so take 30 bottles first. Each bottle costs nearly 70 yuan. It's a new drug and hasn't been included in the medical insurance list yet, so... you'll have to pay for it yourself! Of course, this is just my initial suggestion. If you have a better way to nourish your bones, you won't need to make that trip tomorrow morning." Bian Mu offered a few suggestions with a smile.

"Thank you for your trouble! I'll go pick up the medicine first thing tomorrow morning," Director Wu's son replied readily.

"Alright, Director Wu's mental state isn't very good either. He should rest and recuperate for a while. Dr. Lu and I naturally don't want to disturb him too much. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

"Okay, thank you again for your concern, Dr. Bian!"

"We used to work at the same hospital, so don't be so polite. I'll head over first. Please keep an eye on Dr. Lu. I'll wait for him downstairs!" Bian Mu had no intention of having a deep conversation with that so-called Director Wu. With that kind of personality, it would be pointless to say anything now, and they might even start arguing on the spot.

……

Lu Yisi walked quickly over to the parking lot.

"So? Are you willing to take it on?"

"Let's see how it goes. I haven't made any promises on my end, what about you?"

“I’m just an assistant, why would I join in the commotion if you don’t take a stand? I just looked at the original X-ray carefully. Let alone inserting an intramedullary nail, just removing the screws alone would keep several departments busy for half a day. My preliminary judgment is… there’s a high chance that a secondary fracture will occur during the removal of the screws. What will we do with the subsequent surgery?! Before leaving, I told his son the truth. His son seemed alright, very understanding, and said he would work on his father.” “Let’s treat him and let him rest for now. We still have a mess to deal with!” Bian Mu said with a smile.

“Who says otherwise! I’ll take you home first!” With that, Lu Yisi took out his keys, opened the door, and got into the car. Bian Mu, as usual, sat down in the right seat in the back.

Along the way, Lu Yisi once again suggested that Bian Mu seriously consider getting a promotion through exceptional means, but Bian Mu replied that he couldn't worry about it right now and there was no rush!
……

The next day, as soon as Bian Mu and the others opened the door, Wu Jinshuo's son was already waiting nearby for a long time.

Bian Mu prepared 30 bottles for him, not a bottle more or less, and Zhang Jinsi charged him as usual and issued a formal invoice.

“My dad said he couldn’t remember the penetrating injury after all these years, and my mom said she didn’t remember it either. I’ve looked through all the old medical records at home, and there’s no record of that.”

"Really? Then we'll have to wait and see. This medicine is very easy to use. Clean the affected area with alcohol or warm water, let it dry, and then apply a thin layer. A thin layer is enough; too much would be wasteful. The medicine slowly penetrates the muscles and fascia to the bone. The medicine contains a guiding agent that reaches the weakest point directly. This is also the advantage of this new concept of prepared medicine. Of course, it may not be as effective as expected in the initial use. That's the basic pharmacology. We'll see after a period of rest."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble. So... what should I pay attention to in terms of diet?"

"No smoking, no drinking, and pork rib soup is basically ineffective. Red date porridge is much more practical. Let's exchange contact information, and I'll send you a nutritional recipe later. Just try to follow it. Regardless of what Director Wu himself thinks, you and your family must be prepared for a long-term battle." As he spoke, Bian Mu added Director Wu's son's contact information to his phone.

"Then...when will we know when it's almost ready?"

"When the bones are straight, the body stands tall. When you notice that Director Wu's neck and chest have become more upright, and his eyes are much brighter than before, you should consider drinking some herbal soup to continue his recuperation."

"Huh?! It's that complicated?"

"Of course, the herbal medicine is also for bone health. Also, please coordinate with the attending physician soon, as some screws are difficult to remove. Please devise a foolproof plan as soon as possible to avoid any embarrassing situations later. We still need to investigate the penetrating injury. If it is confirmed, I may have to change the treatment method. Let's leave it to fate!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Understood, thank you again!"

"You're welcome. I have to see my patients soon, so I won't see you off!"

"How dare I! You go ahead and do your work!" With that, Director Wu's son picked up a small bag from the ground and hurriedly left.
