Su Wen looked alarmed and urgently asked, "Cuilan, don't panic yet, what exactly did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said I have severe heart failure and acute respiratory disorder, and the surgery costs five hundred thousand," Zhang Cuilan said through tears. "Where am I supposed to get five hundred thousand from? Even five thousand is hard."
"Wen, just give in to your sister, I can't die without having experienced a man."
"Don't panic, sister," Su Wen hurriedly said, "it's not like there are no options."
Ah?
Zhang Cuilan was taken aback, sizing up Su Wen from head to toe, "Do you think I won't live long and you're just trying to take advantage of me?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you," Su Wen said with a wry smile. "Since I could diagnose your illness, that means I have a way to treat it."
Right.
Zhang Cuilan suddenly realized, it was indeed Su Wen who had first noticed the illness. This guy must really have some skills if he could identify the disease.
"But sister, let me make it clear upfront, I only said I have a way. I'm not sure if it will definitely cure you," Su Wen quickly added, not wishing to give her hope only to disappoint her later.
He found it strange himself; in that instant earlier, information about Zhang Cuilan's symptoms, treatment plans, surgery, medication, acupuncture, including success rates, mortality rates, and even potential side effects, had all flooded into his mind.
"Fine, fine, fine, I get it, no need for all the stalling and babbling, like some old lady," Zhang Cuilan was getting impatient. "So what should I do? How can I get treated?"
Su Wen picked up a small card from the table and quickly wrote down the names of a few traditional Chinese medicines, "First go to the pharmacy to get the herbs, take them according to the doctor's orders, and don't forget... oh yes, also buy some acupuncture needles for me."
"Are you going to perform acupuncture on me?"
Zhang Cuilan's eyes showed a momentary hesitation.
Acupuncture wasn't something to be taken lightly; there were countless cases where quacks had ruined people with it.
"Yes, taking medicine in conjunction with acupuncture, first to clear the blood vessels and at the very least prevent blood clots," Su Wen explained confidently.
This disease is best treated with the Guimen Nine Needles.
The Guimen Needle technique that's popular in the market today is mostly used for treating mental disorders, not for physical ailments.
Yet, as recorded in Hua Tuo's Qing Nang Shu, the Guimen Nine Needles can improve blood circulation.
He didn't know why, but he somehow knew the content of the long-lost book.
Zhang Cuilan gently bit her red lip, as if making up her mind, "Alright, I understand. Whether it works or not, I believe in you, I'm entrusting my life to you."
