Chapter 1373 - 859: Can't Deny Aging Anymore (2)

At this age, who can say what will happen in the next second?

So when the old man's essence suddenly faltered, Du Heng became very worried.

But now hearing that the old man has adjusted himself, he is genuinely happy.

If something happened to the old man because of this matter, because of helping him, it wouldn't be worth it, and he would feel guilty about it.

Just as Du Heng secretly let out a breath of relief, Sun Jiaxiang lightly patted the armrest and said, "Since you already have an idea, tell us how you plan to treat him."

Du Heng softly hummed, "The patient's current situation is not suitable for purely internal treatment, nor can we only use external treatment; it must be both internal and external.

Sun Jiaxiang nodded subtly and continued asking, "Is there a focus on either internal or external treatment?"

"Yes, there is a focus." Du Heng nodded and said seriously, "The internal treatment mainly focuses on strengthening qi and nourishing blood, supplemented by medication to reduce restlessness and clear damp heat, slowly eliminating damp poison.

The external treatment aims at preventing necrosis, promoting muscle growth, and healing sores.

By adopting a two-pronged approach, we can ensure the healing of the patient's wounds while preventing the expansion or infection during detoxification.

Moreover, medication should not be too fast or too slow; it must give the muscles, blood vessels, and meridians of the legs time to adapt and recover.

If it's too fast, the cyanotic and dark areas will directly form blood clots, leaving hidden dangers for recurrence."

Sun Jiaxiang looked at Du Heng kindly, and his smile was undisguised, making his expression full of satisfaction and pride.

As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, Sun Jiaxiang continued, "What about the medication?"

This time, Du Heng did not find an opportunity to amplify, but after a brief silence he said, "As for the medication... I haven't thought about the external treatment yet, and I haven't clearly considered the internal treatment either.

The patient's condition is very complex. There's not much problem with the external treatment, but if the internal treatment is too strong, his body cannot bear it; however, if the medication is too light, it won't have much effect in his current state, and it will not completely clear the damp poison."

Sun Jiaxiang was not surprised by this result.

If Du Heng really just went in for a look and could diagnose the condition clearly and prescribe the right medicine, then he should indeed be nurturing himself for his twilight years.

"Alright, you should also go rest for a while. You've been on the airplane for such a long time, and as soon as you arrived, you went to see the patient; you must be exhausted.

Have a good rest, and in the evening chat with Dean Tian and some other experts.

Take advantage of your special relationship with Dean Tian to improve your connection; it might help you surprisingly with some future things."

Du Heng softly said okay, "Sir Sun, you should rest for a while too, I won't disturb you any longer."

Having said that, Du Heng exited Sun Jiaxiang's room.

After leaving, Du Heng did not immediately go to his own room to rest, but instead pulled Sun Jiaxiang's assistant aside.

"Doctor Du, if you have something to say, just say it, why be so mysterious?"

The assistant was pulled off balance by Du Heng, staggering as he moved along, which was quite awkward for him.

And when they were far from the room, Du Heng stopped this time and said, "Brother Zheng, does Sir Sun have any other arrangements during this period in Yangcheng?"

The assistant tilted his head and thought for a moment, "There's no special arrangement these days.

But you know, at Sir Sun's level, various Chinese Medicine Associations and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners from all over will invite or visit by reputation.

I've already received several of these invitations and appointments.

However, since things are not yet carried out here, Sir Sun is also a bit tired these days, so I haven't arranged it yet."

The assistant blinked, "Doctor Du, are you asking because you have some arrangement?"

Du Heng shook his head, pulled the assistant aside, and said in a low voice, "I don't have an arrangement, and I hope you won't arrange any personal meetings or association events for Sir Sun."

The assistant's complexion changed slightly, instinctively retreating a step and asking, "Doctor Du, what do you mean?"

"My meaning is let Sir Sun take this opportunity, take advantage of being in this good place, to recuperate for a while."

Du Heng hurriedly explained, "You see, Sir Sun is elderly now, not as energetic as before, and too many activities will just drain his essence.

And you say participating in these activities, what use would it be for Sir Sun?"

Du Heng clapped his hands suddenly, his expression serious as he said, "You also know the essence of these association activities, It's purely a social event where nothing substantive happens, just chit-chat and face recognition.

The people from those associations aim to ride on Sir Sun's reputation, but for Sir Sun, aside from exhausting energy, what does he gain?"

Du Heng spoke with sincerity, seriously looking at the assistant and said, "And besides, at this age of Sir Sun, does he need to gain anything from these events?

No need at all.

So it's better for Sir Sun to relax and rest."

The assistant nodded repeatedly.

Especially after considering Sir Sun's recent state, he felt Du Heng was right.

But after Du Heng finished speaking, he frowned again, "The association and hospital can be declined, but some private appointments are hard to refuse.

Some people have a reputation not far off from Sir Sun's, and they're not young; while some can be considered kin, these are hard to decline."

Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "This is easy to handle."

"Doctor Du, what do you suggest?"

"Pick a time, arrange for some people to come together, fulfill their purpose of seeing Sir Sun but also allow Sir Sun someone to chat with, without spending too much time hosting them."

The assistant hesitated for a moment, "Can this work?"

Du Heng stiffened his neck, "Why can't it work?

Do you really expect a ninety-year-old man to individually host them each time?

If anyone has objections, tell them to come to me; I don't believe these people would be that shameless."

The assistant grinned and looked at the indignant Du Heng again, thought about it and agreed with Du Heng's approach, "Alright, I'll go organize the list now."

The assistant said and was about to leave, only after taking two steps did he turn around and ask Du Heng, "Doctor Du, what about tonight's dinner appointment with Dean Tian?"

Du Heng stroked his chin and asked, "Has Sir Sun had dinner with Dean Tian these days?"

The assistant nodded, "Yes, and several times too, with others accompanying."

"Then this is how we'll do it." Du Heng stroked his chin and said, "If Sir Sun can manage to come around by then, and his spirits are good, we should invite him.

If his spirits aren't good, then let Sir Sun continue to rest; you can attend as his substitute.

Such a dinner, aside from exchanging pleasantries and recognizing people, will not involve much else."

The assistant glanced again at Du Heng.

Thinking about Sun Jiaxiang's attitude towards Du Heng, and seeing Du Heng entirely in a junior's stance, the assistant thought for a moment and agreed.

He knew that even if Sun Jiaxiang learned of Du Heng making decisions on his behalf, he would not blame Du Heng, but instead be gratified and satisfied with Du Heng's attitude of consideration.

By the time dinner was arranged, Sun Jiaxiang indeed, as Du Heng had predicted, wasn't feeling too energetic and ate a little before returning to his room to sleep.

And the whole dinner, as Du Heng anticipated, was just a social networking dinner.

In the midst of introductions and care, Du Heng met many people.

The people he met were either experts, professors, or at the very least, directors.

Although Du Heng didn't like such occasions, he had to acknowledge them, and he had to.

This dinner was specially orchestrated by Dean Tian to expand his social connections and network, paying with human feelings for him.

He had to accept it.

Not only accept it, but he also had to thank Dean Tian for his effort.
