Chapter 1451 He Is Cured!
Needle knife? Fire needle?
As soon as the old man heard this, he was immediately confused.
He had never heard of what a needle knife or fire needle was.
“Needle knife is made of a kind of metal material, in the shape similar to a needle and a knife. It’s a type of acupuncture tool.”
Seeing that everyone was confused, Fang Qiu took out the two tools and showed them to everyone while explaining.
“The shapes and lengths of the needle knives are slightly different. Generally speaking, they are about 10 to 15 cm long, and their diameters vary from 0.4 to 1.2 mm. The needle knife is divided into three parts: the handle, the needle body, and the needle knife. The width of the needle knife is generally the same as the diameter of the needle, and the blade edge is sharp.
“The features of the needle knife are: simple, convenient, cheap, and workable.
“In short, it is simple in treatment, convenient to use, low in cost, and obvious in effect.”
As Fang Qiu spoke…
He took out a set of needle knives, which had jade handles as wide as a finger, like silver needles but the tips with blades. Fang Qiu showed them in front of everyone and then continued, “In Chinese Medicine, the needle knife is in great use. It can turn a large number of terminal diseases into treatable ones. It can turn difficult ones into quick healing ones. It can turn open surgeries into closed-off ones. It can turn complicated treatments into simple ones. And it can turn the injury-pain treatment into something close to injury-free and painless.”
Fang Qiu finished the introduction of the needle knife.
He then picked up another box of needles.
He continued to introduce, “Fire needle is a unique medical system of acupuncture in Chinese Medicine. It has a history of thousands of years in Huaxia. The earliest book recorded is The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine.
“Fire needle technique is one of the treatment methods used to quickly insert burning needles into acupoints to treat diseases. It is recorded in some ancient medical skill books in Huaxia like Lingshu Guanzheng, Shang Han Lun, Qianjin Yi Fang. It has the effects of warming the meridians, dispersing the cold, and smoothing the meridians.”
After that…
Fang Qiu started to treat the patient while he was continuing to say, “Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic and systematic disease with unknown causes and mainly in inflammatory synovitis. The purpose of the Chinese Medicine treatment is to prove that strengthening body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, balancing the Yin and Yang, and adjusting the functions of the meridians in the viscera, can relieve pain, suppress the reaction of the inflammation, reduce the swelling of joints, correct and prevent the abnormality of joints, and improve the function of the limbs.
“At present, most scholars of Chinese Medicine believe the causes of this disease are as follows: The weakness of the three organs, liver, kidney, and spleen, is the internal cause, while the wind-cold and strain are the main external cause, and the blockage of the meridians is the key factor.
“Therefore, I treat the patient with the needle knife, coupled with the fire needle. The needle knife is used to relieve the physiological imbalance caused by trauma and strain, which will cause biomechanical disorders, soft tissue adhesion, scars, contraction, and so on. It has the effect of clearing Qi, blood circulation, relaxing meridians, clearing congestion, and so on. And the fire needle plays a synergistic role in acupuncture and heat therapy. It can stimulate the Qi in meridians, disperse swelling, promotes the absorption of sterile inflammation, and so on. In fact, it has the effect of nourishing the spleen, liver, and kidney.”
Speaking of this…
Fang Qiu paused for a moment. Then he continued to treat the patient while saying, “According to the diagnosis, the patient is suffering from arthralgia.”
“So, our treatment is mainly to clear inner heat, eliminate moisture, and promote blood circulation.”
After that…
Fang Qiu focused on the treatment.
Half an hour later…
“It is done!”
Fang Qiu put away the medical tools and said, “You can go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Hearing that…
The patient quickly stood up and rushed to the hospital for a check-up.
All the media at the scene sent one of their reporters to follow behind the patient.
Meanwhile…
On the other side…
Arya, the doctor from Egyptt, who had encountered a patient having the same symptoms as Fang Qiu’s patient, had not yet cured his patient, and so did Sam, the doctor from Babyloon.
Arya and Sam both heard the news from the media that Fang Qiu had cured his patient, and the patient had left for the hospital to do a checkup.
They couldn’t help getting anxious.
As for another three doctors…
They had been paying attention to the competition among Fang Qiu, Arya, and Sam. In the face of the news that Fang Qiu had cured his patient first and the other two had not yet cured theirs, the three doctors’ expressions did not change at all. They continued to stand by coldly.
Just a while later…
The checkup results from the hospital came out.
It showed that the disease of Fang Qiu’s patient had been completely cured!
The joints of the old man had recovered to the level of 30 to 40 years old, which was very healthy.
The news got around.
“Clap, Clap, Clap…”
In the Huaxia Clinic, there was a sudden burst of applause.
In the meantime…
There was still no news of Arya and Sam. They kept treating their patients.
When they were eager to cure their patients as soon as possible and compete with Fang Qiu, they heard the news from the media.
The checkup result confirmed that the patient treated by Fang Qiu had been completely healed.
When they heard this…
Arya and Sam changed their expressions in an instant.
“It seems that you’ve won.”
Before the second patient arrived, the reporter of MBC stepped forward and asked Fang Qiu, “Do you have anything to say about this?”
“Excuse me, you get in the way of my patient.”
Fang Qiu looked behind the reporter and said.
Hearing that…
The reporter was slightly stunned. He then looked back and saw a plump middle-aged woman coming. The reporter gave a wry smile, quickly stepped aside, and continued to pay attention to Fang Qiu.
“May I know…”
Fang Qiu asked.
“I have diabetes.”
Before Fang Qiu finished asking, the patient said directly, “It’s been a long time. I’ve been taking medicine to control the disease. However, I couldn’t help taking some forbidden diets sometimes, so I couldn’t control my blood sugar.”
Hearing that…
Fang Qiu directly began the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease.
He had cured the secretary-general of such a disease once during the World Medical Exchange Conference. Otherwise, he would not have gotten the 30-minute speech time.
It was just because Fang Qiu had such a treatment experience before that he could treat this disease with ease.
Soon after…
The second patient was cured.
Yet…
When Fang Qiu had cured the second patient and gotten the checkup results from the hospital, Arya and Sam still hadn’t cured the patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
This situation came as a surprise.
There was no doubt that it was reported by the reporters immediately.
As a result, the netizens of Murica learned that Fang Qiu had cured rheumatoid arthritis and that the patient had gotten the examination report from Wahton Hospital, confirming that he was cured completely.
Fang Qiu even cured the diabetes of the second patient.
However, Arya and Sam had not finished the treatments for their first patients yet.
The internet was in an uproar.
“It’s so real. They were defeated by Fang Qiu just like that?”
“No way. When they were interviewed by the TV station, they were both full of confidence. Why is it so difficult for them to treat the first patient with a complicated disease? Based on their efficiency of treatment, even if they can cure the disease in the end, I’m afraid that the patients treated by them in three days will not be as many as those treated by Fang Qiu in two days.”
“Isn’t it obvious? The doctors from Egypt and Babyloon have lost. They lost to the doctor of Huaxia Chinese Medicine.”
“I’m looking forward to the final result now. I wonder if they can cure this disease.”
“It’s okay if they can cure it, but if they can’t, they will lose their reputations completely.”
In the heated discussion of Murican netizens…
Fang Qiu had received the third patient.
The third patient entered the room.
It was a middle-aged man, who looked in his forties and was slightly overweight.
“Hello.”
Fang Qiu greeted the patient with a smile.
“Hello, Dr. Fang Qiu.”
The patient also smiled mildly and sat down at the diagnosis table. Before Fang Qiu could ask, he said, “I have a heart attack. I went to the hospital for a check-up. It’s said that I have congenital heart disease and also Myocarditis. I’ve stayed in the hospital once before. Now, because of this disease, I even quit my job. I’ve been recuperating at home, which caused my wife to take charge of our family. I’m eager to take on the responsibility of being a man. But every time I went for a check-up and treatment, the doctor always advised me to rest and not do any work for the recent few years. However, this disease has never been cured, and from time to time, I will relapse.”
“Can you cure it?”
After that, the patient asked with expectation and hope.
“Sure.”
Fang Qiu said confidently, “You’re in the prime time of a man. As a doctor, I will do my best to help you get out of pain and let your family be proud of you again.”
“Really?”
The patient was excited.
“Calm down.”
Fang Qiu quickly reached out and patted the patient on the shoulder, saying, “Don’t be too excited. Before I help treat you, I need to carefully examine your body to confirm the final treatment method.”
“Okay.”
The patient nodded with a smile.
“Lie down, please.”
Fang Qiu pushed the bed over and let the patient lie on it. He felt the patient’s opened meridian before penetrating the patient’s body with his spiritual force for a detailed examination.
As a result, Fang Qiu found that there was indeed something wrong with the patient’s heart. It seemed to be caused by an incomplete development during his infancy. Such a problem rarely affected children, so it was almost hard to be found out at their young age. It would not be stimulated until they were under the strain of exhaustion when they were getting older.
Fang Qiu found out the cause of the disease.
He didn’t hesitate at all and immediately started the treatment.
This time…
He used acupuncture treatment, too.
At the same time as he inserted the needles, Fang Qiu secretly injected his internal Qi into the patient’s body. He started by unclogging the patient’s cardiovascular. Then, he controlled his internal Qi to reach the part where the patient’s heart was not fully developed. He didn’t stop until he helped the patient make up all the incomplete parts of his heart.
“It is done!”
After the treatment, Fang Qiu stopped.
At the request of Fang Qiu, the patient followed the media reporters to Wahton Hospital for a check-up.
Meanwhile…
Over there…
Arya and Sam finally finished treating their first patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Like Fang Qiu, they asked the two patients to go to the hospital for an examination, followed by media reporters.
Both of the patients lived in Wahton, so they also went to Wahton Hospital for a check-up.
Half an hour later…
The results of Arya’s and Sam’s patients were released.
The treatment was ineffective!
They still had rheumatoid arthritis.
When they got the check-up reports, the two patients were dumbfounded.
All the media reporters were even more shocked.
No one had expected that the treatments of Arya and Sam would fail.
Notably…
Like Fang Qiu, they were also the descendants and representatives of traditional medical skills. It was too hard to believe that Arya and Sam failed to treat a regular disease like rheumatoid arthritis.
What on earth was going on?
At the same time, the check-up result of Fang Qiu’s third patient, that middle-aged man with a heart attack and myocarditis, came out.
His physical indicators were all within the standard.
And his heart had no problem at all.
He was cured!
