Chapter 1371 - 858: I Need Her to Beg Me_2

When Du Heng also stepped up to examine, Dean Tian softly asked, "Doctor Du, what are your thoughts now?"

The pulse is fine and weak, the tongue is pale with teeth marks.

So young, yet the qi and blood are deficient and declining.

All things considered, it's a case of spleen deficiency and sinking qi, with dampness and toxins flowing downward.

But the patient's current situation is that the dampness and toxins are flowing from the inside out. If internal methods are used to expel them from the body, the exit for the toxins will certainly be these ulcerative sores.

By that time, the dampness and toxins inside the body can be cleared, but the ulcers on these two legs will become completely abominable, and the final outcome will still be amputation.

However, if treated externally, he must carefully consider what medication to use.

The medication needs to invigorate qi, promote decomposition, regenerate muscle, heal sores, while also clearing heat, drying dampness, and removing necrotic tissue, which is far more troublesome than internal medicine.

Because if a tiny bit is not managed well, everything else will be futile, and the leg will still have to be amputated.

Du Heng did not answer Dean Tian's question; he hadn't figured out how to use medication or how to treat; he just turned his gaze to Sun Jiaxiang's face.

That glance made Du Heng feel lucky for Sun Jiaxiang.

Because Sun Jiaxiang's earlier medication for the patient mainly focused on removing dampness with internal medicine, and according to Sun Jiaxiang, it had a bit of effect.

However, given the patient's current situation, if Sun Jiaxiang had used slightly stronger medication at that time or let the patient take it for a few more days, the moment the dampness was forced out would have been the moment the situation became uncontrollable.

At that point, the patient's leg would need immediate amputation, with no chance of delay.

And Sun Jiaxiang's reputation would instantly be ruined.

Considering Sun Jiaxiang's current age, and the presence of that Old Lady, Sun Jiaxiang might have to make a direct confession here.

So when Du Heng looked at Sun Jiaxiang, he was feeling fortunate that Sun didn't use aggressive medication or diagnose accurately.

But Sun Jiaxiang was confused and puzzled by Du Heng's gaze; he didn't quite understand Du Heng's expression.

However, the others nearby, when Du Heng looked at Sun Jiaxiang, the first thought was, Du Heng was also unsure and was seeking help from Sun Jiaxiang, the predecessor.

The dermatologist nearby sighed lightly, looking at Du Heng with a bit of a complicated expression.

He had been tormented enough by this patient and this Old Lady for some time, and he really didn't want to see the grandmother and grandson pair, so he sincerely hoped Du Heng could succeed.

But now, he could only sigh, this Doctor Du is still too young.

The Old Lady, who had been squinting, changed her gaze to contemptuous and disgusted as she saw Du Heng turn around.

"Dean Tian, although our Li is retired and not as useful in speaking as before, you can't just find a cat or dog that's not fully grown to fool with Old Li?"

When the Old Lady spoke, she maintained that cold demeanor, speaking one word at a time without shouting frantically.

With a slight pause, not letting Dean Tian speak, she continued, "But don't forget, Old Li still has many students working on the front line.

Experiencing some injustice is nothing for us, but these people may not wish to see their teachers, senior offspring suffer."

Cat or dog?

Du Heng immediately turned his head to look at the Old Lady.

The Old Lady, however, after glancing at Du Heng, shifted her gaze sideways to Dean Tian again.

Damn, is this Old Lady's mind not right, can't differentiate who is who now?

Just as Du Heng felt a fiery anger rise within, Sun Jiaxiang quietly asked from behind, "Xiao Du, see anything you would like to share?"

Clearly, Sun Jiaxiang also felt angry.

And hearing Sun Jiaxiang's tone, it was apparent he wanted Du Heng to lay out anything he had, to smack this Old Lady in the face, and blind her snobbish, condescending eyes.

But then Du Heng's anger suddenly dissipated.

Why rush? Now the situation is not urgent for me, why should I hurry to slap faces?

Besides, that wrinkled old face, is there anything worth hitting?

This Old Lady looks like she's of the same type as Gu Qinghong but even more extreme, better at acting, so the Old Lady's mind must be small.

With someone like that, if something bad happened, wouldn't I be unjustly dead?

Why bother?

After all, it's not my leg, nor my grandson's. I flew from the Northwest to the southernmost part of the motherland, why should I be anxious?

Du Heng didn't bother with another glance at the Old Lady but instead turned, smiling a bit to Sun Jiaxiang and Dean Tian, then bowed his head pretending to be ashamed by the Old Lady's words, and stepped out of the crowd.

Sun Jiaxiang was briefly surprised, then seeing the smile on Du Heng's face, suddenly understood, and then slightly twitched his mouth, following Du Heng out.

Dean Tian wasn't foolish; seeing the expressions of Du Heng and Sun Jiaxiang, immediately realized the Old Lady's nasty words had displeased Du Heng.

So she cast a glance at the Old Lady and the patient lying like a dead man in bed and turned to leave as well.

The Old Lady herself merely gave the departing individuals a dismissive look, then continued to gaze sorrowfully at her grandson.

In her heart, Du Heng fled out of incompetence.

Only unaware, just out of the door, Dean Tian caught up with Du Heng and asked, "Doctor Du, do you have confidence in treating this?"

Du Heng smiled lightly but remained silent.

It wasn't something he intended to answer.

You shouldn't harm others, but you must beware of others.

Don't be fooled by this Dean Tian being enthusiastic and a lifesaver, admiring Du Heng's capabilities and more; they've only met twice, including last year.

How can you be sure she'll side with you instead of retired Sir Li?

The Old Lady said, although Sir Li retired, his students and junior colleagues remain active.

Even if most are useless, one or two may stand out.

You never know if Dean Tian might need them.

So, Du Heng is now adhering to the principle of silence being golden, leaving no leverage for anyone.

If you don't trust me, have other ideas, go ahead and search.

If you have no alternatives and can find no one else for treatment, then you must turn back to seek my help, rather than running over by yourself like now.

Thus, an ambiguous attitude at this time is most suitable.

Moreover, Du Heng believes Dean Tian will relay his stance to the Old Lady.

Sun Jiaxiang, seeing Du Heng unwilling to speak, understood his concerns but didn't want Dean Tian to feel awkward, so he proactively said, "Dean Tian, you're aware of the patient's situation, it's complicated and troublesome.

Xiao Du just saw it for the first time today, he might have some ideas, but probably hasn't figured it out fully.

So, give Xiao Du some time to think it through."

Dean Tian lightly nodded but also glanced more at Du Heng, then smiled and said, "I was too hasty.

However, Doctor Du must understand me, I'm in a tight spot.

As you've seen, this family is rather hard to deal with, I really wish to get rid of this pestilence and hope you won't mind."

These words brightened Du Heng's eyes.

Dean Tian used many inelegant terms to describe this family, and spoke candidly, presumably to express her true thoughts and comfort Du Heng.

But Du Heng still chuckled, following up on Sun Jiaxiang's words, "I'm a bit tired today, my mind's not keeping up, allow me to think it over well, then report back to Dean Tian."
