I Can Talk to the Internal Organs

Chapter 405 - 370: Are There Really Geniuses in This World?

After the heavy rain, peace was finally restored in Nanhe Province.

The surrounding provinces were also hit by the flood disaster.

The official rescue efforts were actively underway, and as the media followed up, the losses caused by the disaster appeared on television news every day.

As of now, the number of people affected in Nanhe Province has reached over two million.

This is significantly less than last year.

But even so, over two million is still a staggering number.

"Has your hospital already developed a general formula for this flood disaster!?"

In the office of the president of Jingcheng Hospital, Huang Fusheng was on the phone with a friend.

"Yes, I intended to call you yesterday, but there were too many people in the hospital, and I really couldn’t find the time. I’ll tell you the formula now..."

Zhang Guangqing said, "Not bad, you’re really quick with this. It’s only been a week since the disaster happened."

Although the general formula Huang Fusheng mentioned was for treating body swelling, its research difficulty was much lower compared to the Lung Cleansing and Detoxifying Decoction used during an epidemic.

But within just one week, based on the characteristics of the flood disaster, the geographical location of Nanhe Province, and the current climate conditions, a general formula was developed, showing skills far better than his own.

Zhang Guangqing knew that Huang Fusheng was more capable than him, but he never expected that Huang Fusheng could concurrently treat patients and develop a general formula in such a short period.

After all, developing a truly effective general formula is not that easy.

First of all, the Five Elements and Six Qi principles are a prerequisite, requiring an analysis of the year’s climate conditions, followed by geographical location.

When southern people are affected by a flood compared to northern people, though the swelling symptoms are the same, the treatment differs significantly.

Generally, northern people’s symptoms are slightly more severe.

Therefore, to develop a general formula, one must have a comprehensive mastery of all knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine.

Many National Masters of Chinese Medicine possess such abilities, but the speed at which they work determines the strength of their abilities.

"It’s not my work, it’s my student’s," Huang Fusheng said with a hint of pride in his voice.

"What? Your student? You’re kidding, they’re still trying to understand the Five Elements and Six Qi, and yet they researched a general formula for flood disasters?" Zhang Guangqing said.

"I’m not talking about Xianda, but about a new student I took in last year, named Lu Jiu." Huang Fusheng added, "Oh, this general formula was developed before he even set off to come to us, in about a day or two."

"Nonsense!!" Zhang Guangqing’s voice raised considerably.

Someone developing a general formula in just one or two days could be a student of Huang Fusheng?

With such medical skills, the only limit to becoming a National Master of Chinese Medicine is experience.

"Hang on, Lu Jiu!? Why does this name sound so familiar? Have you mentioned him to me before?" Zhang Guangqing asked.

"No, it’s the first time," Huang Fusheng replied.

He had been exceptionally busy for over a year, and if it weren’t for this flood disaster, with Zhouru City’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital admitting a large number of wounded in urgent need of treatment formulas, he wouldn’t have contacted Zhang Guangqing.

"That’s odd; where have I heard it before..." Zhang Guangqing felt the name Lu Jiu was too familiar, not like it was the first time hearing it, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Vital Energy Warming Formula, yes, the author of the paper on both internal and external treatment of diabetic foot, good heavens, that nationally influential paper on traditional Chinese medicine was written by your student?"

"But I distinctly remember being told that Lu Jiu isn’t that old, not even thirty... Hiss~~ Is there really a prodigy in this world!?"

Initially, Zhang Guangqing didn’t believe that Huang Fusheng’s student could research a general formula for the flood disaster in just one or two days, but upon learning that Lu Jiu, mentioned by Huang Fusheng, was the same person who wrote the paper on diabetic foot, it suddenly made sense!

Because the Vital Energy Warming Formula with sugar is also a general formula.

It doesn’t only treat diabetic foot; during this flood, when many patients had skin ulcerations, this treatment was also immediately effective.

For many patients with skin ulcerations, after using the Vital Energy Warming Formula with sugar, their wounds began to heal in two to three days, and symptoms of infection and inflammation from being soaked in flood waters were easily resolved.

It can be said that Lu Jiu’s Vital Energy Warming Formula with sugar not only helped cure many diabetic foot patients but also played an extremely important role during this flood disaster.

Such a person actually became an understudy of Huang Fusheng!

Zhang Guangqing was envious to the core.

"Stop focusing on the genius and quickly write down the formula; saving lives is urgent!" Huang Fusheng said.

"Alright, go ahead," Zhang Guangqing replied.

With Huang Fusheng’s help, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province, where Zhang Guangqing worked, also got a general formula for treating post-flood swelling.

Compared to Jingcheng Hospital, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province received over ten times more patients.

As a result, the effect of this general formula was fully leveraged by them.

Almost every patient with swelling was completely de-swelled in two to three days after treatment with this general formula.

This significantly alleviated the pressure on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province.

After all, this general formula didn’t require differential diagnosis; as long as there was swelling after being soaked in floodwaters, it could be used.

Even if there were other diseases present, it wouldn’t have the slightest impact.

In the following days, the quickly improving condition of patients in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province spread quickly, and with media publicity, this matter became widely known in the Nanhe Province area.

Consequently, the relevant departments in Nanhe Province centralized all the patients to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province, treating them in batches with herbal medicine.

In a matter of days, several tens of thousands of patients with swelling and skin ulcerations improved significantly.

Such highly efficient treatment also garnered high praise from the Nanhe Province government.

They even sent staff to conduct research at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province, intending to commend them.

Upon inquiring, they discovered that the formula was not developed by them but by a private Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Zhouru City in lower Nanhe Province.

Upon receiving this information, the relevant personnel traveled to Zhouru City.

Another inquiry revealed a new discovery.

It turned out that this formula was neither developed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Nanhe Province nor by Jingcheng Hospital but was actually researched by the head of a Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital far away in Jianghan City, Beihu Province.

Having circled back this far, they finally found Lu Jiu, the real source.

Upon investigation, there was another delightful surprise!

At the first warning of the flood in Nanhe Province, Lu Jiu received a distress message from Jingcheng Hospital and then prepared medical supplies, traveling across the country to support Zhouru City.

Considering the timeline, they were actually the first medical team to support Nanhe.

Upon learning this information, the responsible staff immediately reported to the top leaders of Nanhe Province.

The next day, Lu Jiu received the news.

The highest leader of Nanhe Province, Secretary Meng, wanted to personally meet him!
