My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 938: Chapter 371: The Practical Benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Familiar Social Networks (Part 3)

She pouted and complained.

"Haha, my lovely wife is naturally beautiful, no need for makeup to look pretty."

Zhou Can didn’t dare to upset her, so he quickly tried to appease her.

"Seeing how sweet your words are, I forgive you! Darling, do you think Elder Chen can cure my illness?"

She loved Zhou Can to the bone, how could she really be angry over such a trivial matter?

For couples, minor arguments are normal, and they give life a certain smokiness. Those couples who overly respect each other often find themselves drifting apart eventually. They lack the necessary friction, their conflicts are suppressed inside, and over time they accumulate and magnify.

When a conflict finally erupts, it can be as devastating as a landslide or tsunami, ending in an abrupt breakup.

Only by having past arguments can feelings deepen.

Because during arguments, one person always needs to give way, using love from the heart to embrace the other. Over time, they both learn to embrace each other, understand each other, and naturally, their feelings deepen.

"Don’t worry, when the medicine is prescribed, we’ll follow the prescription. You take it for one cycle and see if it’s effective."

Zhou Can reassured her.

Zhou Can had no idea whether traditional Chinese medicine could treat chronic renal failure.

Because traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes treatment based on syndrome differentiation, with every person having a unique treatment plan.

Everyone’s treatment is different.

After nearly three hours of waiting, it was finally Zhou Can’s turn.

"Hello Elder Chen, we were referred here by Director Jian Dong. I would like you to check my girlfriend!"

Zhou Can introduced himself.

In a society of acquaintances, connections can provide many conveniences in reality.

"Please have a seat!"

After hearing Zhou Can’s introduction, Elder Chen glanced at both of them, his eyes showing friendliness and satisfaction.

Though Zhou Can had connections, he still queued obediently.

That’s a sign of being cultured.

A person with integrity and culture naturally attracts more affection.

"Here are the tests we had done at the hospital!"

Zhou Can handed over a stack of test reports.

"Young man, Western medical tests don’t have much use for us in Chinese medicine, as they are based on completely different principles. Just tell me about her illness and symptoms directly."

Elder Chen didn’t even reach out, seemingly having disdain for the hospital’s test reports.

It was Zhou Can’s first time seeing a Chinese doctor, and he truly didn’t know these customs.

He quickly took back the test reports and then explained to Elder Chen what illness his girlfriend had.

Su Qianqian then supplemented with specific symptoms.

"Let me see your hand first!"

Elder Chen took her hand and looked at it, including her nails and palm lines.

"Come on, open your mouth and stick your tongue out for me to see."

She stuck out her little pink tongue for Elder Chen to diagnose.

"Put your right hand on the pulse pillow, I’ll check your pulse!"

After looking at her tongue, he carefully examined Su Qianqian’s face.

Next was pulse diagnosis.

"Switch to your left hand, let me check your pulse again!"

He then asked Su Qianqian to switch hands.

You could clearly feel that because of their connection with Director Jian Dong, Elder Chen was very meticulous and attentive during the diagnosis.

"Hmm, let me see your eyes!"

Elder Chen signaled her to take off her sunglasses.

"Kidneys govern water; if there’s a problem, it often shows first in the eyes."

He explained.

Su Qianqian took off her sunglasses, revealing her bright, captivating eyes.

Elder Chen checked her eyelids carefully.

He looked at both eyes.

"Her left kidney problem is more severe, the right kidney is much better. I’ll prescribe you three doses, each dose lasts three days. Traditional Chinese medicine is bitter; others may add licorice, some even sugar, but you can’t."

Elder Chen gave her a reminder, essentially telling her that no matter how bitter the medicine is, don’t add sugar.

"Will she be able to eat sugar in the future?"

Zhou Can usually only reminded her to lower her sugar and salt intake, but didn’t completely forbid it.

Salt is a necessary substance for the body; if you don’t eat it for a few days, you’ll feel weak and the body will show various symptoms.

Sugar is also a necessary nutrient.

Too much is harmful, but a lack isn’t good either.
