Chapter 2208 Holistic Treatment is of Paramount Importance

As the most outstanding "twin golden towers" among the younger generation of the medical community in Lijin, Bian Mu and Lu Yisi are actually quite different in many ways.

Family background, medical background, life goals, very specific personal values, career development direction... they hardly have any overlap, and they don't usually interact. Fortunately, they are both quite self-disciplined in terms of medical ethics and conduct. It is based on this premise that when they encounter purely technical discussions, they can basically sit down and talk things over calmly.

A scholar should be viewed with new respect after three days of separation!
Lu Yisi had always held Bian Mu in contempt. He paid no attention to what hardships Bian Mu endured, what efforts he made, or how advanced his medical skills were. Little did he know that recently, the words "leaving no stone unturned" to describe Bian Mu's progress in medical knowledge were no longer sufficient. Moreover, Bian Mu's knowledge had already gone beyond the scope of traditional Chinese medicine, something Lu Yisi knew almost nothing about.

In this way, if Bian Mu behaves even slightly unusually, Lu Yisi might inadvertently misunderstand.

Observing Lu Yisi's words and expressions, Bian Mu realized that Lu Yisi's mind had gone astray.

"I don't have time to waste with you. Just give me a few words and get out of here!" Thinking this, Bian Mu was getting a little impatient.

"Let's talk about this in private... The man's illness has always been a holistic concept. You, on the other hand, took on this surgery at a specific time and place because of personal relationships. Before and after the surgery, you only intervened from one cross-section. You weren't interested in the large part in front, and you didn't want to get involved in any of the subsequent troubles. Is that possible?! What aspect can you absolutely avoid?! If you could really handle it so easily, why did you bring me here?! You don't really think that the holistic nature of medicine is a joke, do you?!" As Bian Mu spoke, his tone became somewhat impolite.

Lu Yisi understood everything! He immediately fell silent.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, it's true that the male patient's partner's social relationships are quite complicated, and in some ways, she's not someone to be trifled with. If Bian Mu hadn't intervened in time to find the real root of the problem, who knows what she and her family might have caused!
Admittedly, the Lu family has never been afraid of trouble, but why would they deliberately invite trouble for no reason?!
Gradually, Lu Yisi's emotions calmed down.

"Well... since we can't use the medication ourselves, how should we resolve this matter?" Lu Yisi's tone was noticeably more low-key.

"The man's wife basically believed he wouldn't live much longer, and she'll probably hint to her husband soon that he really needs to settle some things before he dies. Hasn't that man been married several times? She doesn't care about his ex-wives and their children, so the man has to care! How could he possibly make a will or have it notarized according to her wishes? By the way, that man is quite wealthy, isn't he?" After chatting for a while, Bian Mu realized that she knew almost nothing about the male patient's background.

"Hotel owners are never short of real estate. I heard that a few years ago, he partnered with someone to do jewelry business. He's quite capable, and his business is thriving. By the way, he owns quite a few jewelry stores, with branches in Beiqi and Nanjin. There's a 'Longyulou' in Xicheng that he probably owns. Compared to ordinary businessmen, he's quite wealthy." Speaking of business, the Lu family's assets are mainly in investment companies. Having been exposed to the business world, Lu Yisi knows a thing or two about any businessman with a bit of reputation. "No wonder... As soon as he walked in, I could see that the man's eyes were hiding something. So, initially, his wife pressured him all the time, causing him anxiety and worsening his condition. Now that we've calmed her down and sent her home, you need to inform the other colleagues starting tomorrow. Make sure they insist that the man will definitely recover, without any hesitation. Of course, I'm confident in making this suggestion. However, that woman's influence is definitely not insignificant. When you're giving instructions to the head nurse, the nurse in charge, and the doctors on duty, be careful not to give anything away in front of his wife." Bian Mu gave a few serious instructions.

Lu Yisi nodded slightly without saying a word.

"Also, you need to give the nursing staff some benefits. The head nurse should assign specific responsibilities to each level, and the responsible nurse should assign them accordingly. You'd better prepare a draft beforehand before making arrangements. Make sure his wife doesn't notice anything amiss. From now on, your attitude towards her should be sometimes lenient and sometimes strict. One crucial detail: absolutely no one is allowed to be alone with the couple in the room. You must ensure this is done properly! Otherwise, we'll have a hard time handling some things later! This will only make the man more anxious, fearing his wife might do something else while he's recovering. This constant stress and anxiety will only make him more worried." "The perianal cyst will suddenly erupt as an acute infection! There are almost no warning signs beforehand; the body temperature will spike instantly, and if I'm not mistaken… the man will experience brief episodes of convulsions and other acute symptoms. Don't panic! That's exactly what we want! When the time comes, have the head nurse call directly, and I'll arrange for you to come and take a look. Oh! By the way, after I give him the injection, you'd better decide which doctor you'd like to have come and treat the perianal cyst. I'll take over the subsequent medication." Bian Mu explained patiently for quite a while.

“Well… I do know a few. Okay! I’ll talk to them later. Tomorrow morning I’ll arrange for them to come over for a consultation to see how different it is from what you said. Then we’ll choose one of them, and we’ll watch him complete the surgery.”

"Okay! Let's do it this way! It's getting late, let's go! Let's go and insert the needles first. I should go to work soon, so I won't wait for the needles to come out. I'll trouble you to take care of the acupuncture needles on the patient later. I'll tell you the trick to removing the needles later. You have the foundation, you'll understand as soon as you hear it!" With that, Bian Mu got up and went directly to the ward.

……

In the evening, Bian Mu arrived at the inpatient building 2 of the hospital where Lu Yisi worked again. Lu Yisi had been waiting in the duty room for a long time. The two talked briefly for more than ten minutes. Bian Mu gave the man another "soothing and relaxing acupuncture" treatment. After the last injection, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Bian Mu's back.

It is indeed quite tiring to get these needles inserted.

……

At the south gate of the hospital, Bian Mu gave Lu Yisi a few words of advice and then took his leave.

Realizing that the night was the most dangerous, even though Bian Mu's medical skills were gradually reaching their peak, Lu Yisi still didn't quite trust him deep down. She didn't dare to go home that night and took the initiative to negotiate with a resident doctor to switch shifts. She barely rested all night and quietly waited in the doctor's on-call room, fearing that something might really happen to the man.
