Chapter 147 - 147 I'll Treat It
147 I’ll Treat It
Not only were the patients engaged in a heated discussion, even a few old doctors were whispering to each other. As they spoke, their gazes were all directed at Imperial Doctor Tian because among them, only Imperial Doctor Tian had really performed such a “surgery”.
Imperial Doctor Tian was also looking at Mo Ruyue, as if he was evaluating the truth of her words.
However, he only saw a calm and clear gaze. There was not a hint of wavering in her eyes, and she was full of extreme confidence. It was obvious that as long as she said that she could successfully remove the tumor, she would definitely do it.
It wasn’t that Mo Ruyue didn’t notice the gazes of others and heard the discussions, but she still had to make things clear to the patient’s family.
If she was in the medical room in her interspace, she was confident that she could perform the surgery successfully. However, she was not sure if the environment and equipment needed for such a surgery could be found in this era.
So, she only said to the man, “I’m telling you the truth about your mother’s condition, but I still need to ask Imperial Doctor Tian whether this operation can be done or not. Because the environment and equipment I need are very demanding, I don’t know if Huichun Hall has them.”
After hearing Mo Ruyue’s words, Imperial Doctor Tian apologized to the patient who was being examined. He got up and walked over, then said to Mo Ruyue, “Lady Qin, I can prepare all the conditions you need for you. But how confident are you in this operation?”
“As long as you can meet my basic requirements, I’m 90% confident.” Mo Ruyue raised her head and looked at him.
In reality, Mo Ruyue was being too humble. If it was in her medical space, she was 100% confident that she could completely remove it without a relapse.
“Then, when you perform the surgery, can you let this old man help you?”
The moment Imperial Doctor Tian’s words left his mouth, the other people were even more stunned.
What was going on? Imperial Doctor Tian didn’t reprimand Lady Qin for overestimating her own ability, but instead, he had a humble attitude and wanted to help her?
Did he really think that she could complete that “surgery”?
That’s cutting open a person’s stomach!
“Wait… Wait, Old Doctor Tian, Lady Qin, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?”
The man sitting on the side had long turned from surprise to confusion. He only knew that Lady Qin said that she was going to do some “surgery” for his mother, but he didn’t think about it yet. He had never heard of anyone who could survive after their stomach was opened.
But from Imperial Doctor Tian’s words, could it be that she could really live by doing this?
His mind was in a mess. On the one hand, his mother wouldn’t live without the ‘operation’, and on the other hand, could she really live by cutting open her stomach?
The two choices put him in a dilemma.
“I told you just now that there is a tumor in your mother’s body that must be removed. If it is allowed to grow, it will definitely take your mother’s life. ”
“I can do this surgery, but I need an extremely strict surgical environment and equipment. Elder Tian thinks that he can do what I want and hopes that I can let him be my assistant when I perform the surgery for your mother.”
Mo Ruyue briefly explained the situation to him, but at the same time, she picked out the main points. After all, whether this surgery was to be performed or not would still depend on the family’s opinion.
“Lady Qin, do you really have the confidence to cut open my mother’s stomach and not die?”
When he asked this, Mo Ruyue knew that this man had not heard a single word she had said to Imperial Doctor Tian.
“If you believe me, I’ll treat her. If you don’t, then forget it. I’ll only treat your mother’s previous illness,”
Mo Ruyue didn’t mean that she had to have the operation. In fact, it would be more troublesome. With her personality, the less troublesome it was, the better.
“Alright, I’ll let you treat it!”
The man hesitated and struggled for a while before he finally gritted his teeth and agreed. However, after he agreed, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, “If it’s a surgery, how much would it cost? I… I’m afraid I don’t have that much money.”
Just now, he heard Lady Qin say that he still needed to prepare some special environment and equipment. Wouldn’t that cost a sky-high price?
Mo Ruyue was also stunned by the question. She had really not thought about this. The price and everything else would be decided by Huichun Hall. She was only responsible for the consultation and then waiting for the money to be divided. She did not need to worry about anything else.
Imperial Doctor Tian was also a little startled, but he quickly replied, “Let’s treat the illness first. The illness doesn’t wait for people. We can talk about other things slowly later.”
Looking at the man’s clothes, he knew that he couldn’t afford the expensive medical expenses. And the operation that Mo Ruyue was going to perform for his mother was not a small one. Only an extremely rich family could afford the expenses.
But now, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Mo Ruyue could perform the surgery well, so the cost was not in his consideration.
As an imperial doctor, he had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth in the palace for decades. If he could see a successful operation with his own eyes, it would be worth it even if he had to spend all his wealth.
“This…”
The man was also a man with good judgment. When he heard Imperial Doctor Tian’s words, he knew that the cost would not be small. But now, as long as he could keep his mother’s life, he would be willing to work for others for the rest of his life. He would definitely repay this favor.
“I’ve seen your mother’s previous illness. It’s actually not that serious. The symptoms she has now are a combination of the two. Moreover, her body is too weak right now, and it’s not suitable for immediate surgery.”
“I’ll treat her mild illness first and help her recuperate while I’m at it. It won’t be too late to perform the operation after her physical condition has stabilized. ”
As Mo Ruyue spoke to the man, she began to write down a prescription. There were three decoctions in total, two for treating illnesses and one for conditioning the body. Then, she asked the man to follow the child to get the herbs and boil them.
Imperial Doctor Tian was watching the process of the prescription and was nodding his head.
An experienced doctor only needed to look at the prescription to determine what kind of illness the patient had. Imperial Doctor Tian had also seen the treatment method, but some of the medicines used were different, so he knew very well that the old woman’s original illness was a very difficult disease.
However, from Mo Ruyue’s mouth, it was actually not a very difficult illness. That bearing of lifting heavy things as if they were light was not something that ordinary people could have. She must have the capital of extreme self-confidence to make her say it so calmly and easily.
At this time, Imperial Doctor Tian realized that he seemed to have underestimated Mo Ruyue’s ability. But it didn’t matter. Now that Mo Ruyue was in his Huichun Hall, he would meet all kinds of patients in the future. He would slowly find out the upper limit of Mo Ruyue’s ability.
Now, there was an excellent opportunity. This operation was enough for him to come up with a new conclusion in advance, so Imperial Doctor Tian was somewhat impatient.
The old woman’s illness had been diagnosed, and what followed was a relatively long treatment process. The old woman’s condition was not suitable for her to rush back and forth, so Mo Ruyue arranged for her to stay in the “inpatient department” behind, which was dedicated to long-term patient care.
After personally seeing the old woman settle down, Mo Ruyue went back to continue her consultation work.
