Chapter 305 - Treat Me Too! Treat Me Too! (1/2)

Chapter 305 Treat Me Too! Treat Me Too!Everyone gathered around Auntie Chen and it was clear that they were all very curious to know what was wrong with her.

It wasn’t clear whether they were more concerned about Auntie Chen’s illness or his medical skills but they stared at Fang Qiu and Auntie Chen as they asked curiously.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“This sounds very abstract. Why does it look like physiognomy?”

“Fang Qiu must be an amazing physician if he managed to tell what’s wrong with her just by taking her pulse.”

“I guess Fang Qiu is good enough to be a physician at a hospital, right?”

“Fang Qiu, tell us what’s wrong with Auntie Chen?”

Fang Qiu smiled as everyone urged him to reveal Auntie Chen’s ailment and said, “Auntie Chen’s ailment isn’t serious.”

Auntie Chen breathed a sigh of relief at his words but her gaze never left his face as she waited for him to reveal what was wrong with her.

“If I were to use Chinese Medicine jargon, there’s too much dampness in your body which results in your body unable to convert everything into Qi. This has also led to a deficiency in your kidney-yang.” Fang Qiu said.

He thought for a moment before he added, “The Black Turtle Decoction would be able to cure you of your symptoms.”

When everyone heard that, their eyes lit up.

Fang Qiu had proved that he could diagnose patients after taking their pulse and issue a prescription, so this meant that he was skilled enough and was not blindly doing this.

Naturally, everyone left out a sigh of relief when they heard that it wasn’t anything serious.

“That’s good.”

“You’ll be fine after you head to the clinic to collect the medicine and take several servings of it.”

Auntie Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Thanks, Fang Qiu.”

“You’re welcome, Auntie Chen,” Fang Qiu replied with a smile.

“I’m done,” he said.

He turned to face the room after Auntie Chen had risen to her feet and asked, “Who wants to be next?”

Everyone hesitated but they weren’t as worried or as hesitant as before.

After all, Fang Qiu had proved that he was a skilled physician.

“I’ll go first.”

Someone said.

Everyone turned to see a chubby and voluptuous middle-aged woman walk up to Fang Qiu.

“Aunt?”

Fang Qiu froze in surprise.

This woman was named Fang Ping and she was his father’s elder sister.

“What’s wrong?” She said with a smile. “Do you not dare to treat me?”

“That’s not it,” he said as he scratched his head. “I thought that you were in good health. I don’t recall you having ever fallen ill before either.”

“Do you think I’d let you know if I wasn’t feeling well?” His aunt walked up to him and took a seat. “While it is true that I don’t have any serious health problems, my stomach has been bothering me. I often have gastric pains and I feel bloated. This illness isn’t obvious but when my stomach hurts, I don’t even want to head out. Naturally, you haven’t seen me in this state before.”

“Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?” Fang Qiu asked.

“Yes, I have,” Fang Ping nodded and said, “I’ve been to many doctors and they’ve all diagnosed me with chronic gastritis but it still hurts no matter how much medication I’m on. The pain has not stopped.”

“Hmm?” Fang Qiu said.

Fang Qiu froze in surprise.

“Come over here and tell me what’s wrong,” Fang Ping said.

“Sure,” Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate.

He started using the four diagnostic methods to diagnose her.

He didn’t discover anything unusual after he took her pulse.

“There’s nothing wrong,” he said as he arched his eyebrows.

He had detected several minor issues after he used the four methods of diagnosis on her but logically, these minor issues should not cause her any discomfort.

If the root of the problem wasn’t internal, then there was only one conclusion!

Her spine!

He was familiar with medical texts and thus, he knew that one’s spinal column could cause pain and it was also closely connected to one’s internal organs.

“Fang Qiu, what’s wrong?” Fang Ping asked anxiously when she noticed that Fang Qiu did not speak for some time.

“Oh, there’s nothing wrong,” he said with a chuckle.

“Could you stand up with your back facing me? Let me have a look at your back,” he added.

Fang Ping immediately rose to her feet.

Fang Qiu stretched out his left hand and used his palm to slowly run down each vertebra.

Then, he discovered that it was indeed a problem with her spinal column.

He had the sense of Absolute Touch, so he could clearly feel that Fang Ping’s spinal column was slightly slanted.

“Aunt, this isn’t a gastric problem,” he said with a smile. “The root of the problem lies in your spinal column and this is why you haven’t been able to get better even though you’re on gastric medication.”

“Ah?” Fang Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone else seemed equally astonished.

Her spinal column was the root cause?

Didn’t the doctors at the hospital diagnose her with chronic gastritis? Why was Fang Qiu now saying that it wasn’t chronic gastritis?

“I performed a check-up on you earlier,” Fang Qiu started. “There’s nothing wrong with your body and I only noticed several minor issues that were negligible and wouldn’t cause any swelling or gastric pain. This was when I suspected that the problem lay in your spinal column. After I did a check-up earlier, I’ve noticed that your spinal column is slightly slanted and this is likely because of your incorrect sitting or working posture.”

“If the problem lies in my spinal column, then why would it cause me to have gastric issues and swelling?” Fang Ping asked curiously.

“Yes, the doctors at the hospital have already diagnosed her with chronic gastritis, so this should be the correct diagnosis, right?”

“Fang Qiu, she’s your aunt, so you mustn’t treat this lightly.”

“Exactly, how is her gastric problem related to her spinal column?”

Everyone voiced their doubts.

They were afraid that Fang Qiu was not as good as he seemed and was making this up.

“Auntie, don’t worry. I wouldn’t give you the wrong diagnosis,” he said as he shook his head. “Your spinal column is closely related to your internal organs and this is such a complicated concept that I wouldn’t be able to cover this topic unless you gave me several hours. I’ll skip the theoretical portion but in any case, you’ll be cured once your spinal column is straightened. You’ll also have to take note of what you eat and your sitting posture in the future,” he said.
