The Sweetest Medicine - Chapter 232

After looking at the report, Yu Gangan looked at Old Madam Ye and asked, “Do you feel an odd stinging pain even after you take your medicine?”

Old Madam Ye did not make a sound. She simply nodded her pale face.

Yu Gangan did not check the woman’s pulse as she handed the report back to Ye Jiasheng and said, “She is in a serious condition. The best and fastest treatment is surgery.”

Ye Jiasheng froze.

He was certain that Manager Lu explained the old woman’s situation to Yu Gangan before they arrived.

So, why was she still recommending surgery?

If the old woman could have surgery, why would he ask so many doctors of Chinese medicine to come to his home?

Was she really a doctor? Why didn’t she even check the woman’s pulse?

Earlier, when he saw her diagnosing the kids, he almost thought she had real skills.

But…

It seemed, she was just talking nonsense earlier.

“Dr. Yu, didn’t I tell you that Old Madam Ye is allergic to anesthetics? She can’t use it or…” Manager Lu said awkwardly.

But, Yu Gangan interrupted his words, “To stop water from boiling, it’s best to stop it from its source than to skim the water off the top and pour it back in. The Old Madam’s condition is very serious at the moment. If we rely on Chinese medicine to heal her body, it will take too much time. She is old and her recovery will take too long. I know she is allergic to anesthetics, but it is not impossible to operate on her.”

“How will you operate on her? If you don’t use anesthetics, the pain is going to kill her,” Ye Jiasheng said.

“We can combine Chinese and Western medicine. There is no problem with using acupuncture anesthesia during surgery,” Yu Gangan replied.

Ye Jiasheng looked at Manager Lu with confusion.

Although Manager Lu worked in the Chinese Medicine Association, he was only an administrative staff and did not know what acupuncture anesthesia was.

On the other hand, for the sake of his grandmother’s illness, Ye Xi had been doing a lot of research online. So, he had heard about acupuncture anesthesia.

But, his face suddenly turned green.

“Acupuncture anesthesia is a lie! It doesn’t stop the pain. People have compared it to a woman biting a stick while giving birth. There is some relief, but the patient still has to endure pain.”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Yu Gangan, “Get lost or you are going to suffer!!”

Manager Lu’s face turned pale.

This scene was much too familiar.

He immediately rushed forward and said, “Young Master Ye, Dr. Yu isn’t just saying this, she…”

Before Manager Lu finished speaking, Ye Xi gave him a kick, “You get lost too!”

Ye Jiasheng looked at the young man with a sore head, “This rascal is causing trouble again.”

But, he did not stop him. It seemed, he agreed with Ye Xi.

Yu Gangan checked to see if Manager Lu was hurt. After Manager Lu shook his head, she said, “Let’s go then.”

A patient had the right to choose their medical treatment. She had already given the right diagnosis and the best solution.

It was their choice whether they wanted to listen or not.

As she lay in bed, Old Madam Ye looked at her grandson in distress. She wanted him to stop being angry, but when she moved her body, it triggered a chain of stinging pain that caused her to cry out in pain.

Ye Xi’s handsome face filled with tension.

He kneeled beside the bed and held onto the old woman’s hand as his heart ached, “Grandma, hold on for another day. I’ve already hired the best abdominal doctor. He will arrive tomorrow. You will no longer be in pain after tomorrow.”

The old woman smiled at him weakly, “I’m not in pain.”

Ye Xi held onto the woman’s hand and gently massaged her to ease her pain.

Meanwhile, Yu Gangan watched this scene in surprise.
