A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

"I don't know anything about herbs," the older sister said hastily.

Jiang Linwan thought for a moment and said, "I'll draw some herb diagrams for you when I have time. You can use the diagrams to find herbs. If you find too many, you can sell them to me. I'll buy them all."

"Don't damage the roots; the fresher the better." These days, nobody grows Chinese medicinal herbs, and many are scarce. She wants to grow more herbs.

"Thank you, sister." The woman took the medicine bottle, her face beaming with excitement.

This medicine is really effective. Her husband cut his foot on a reef while out at sea last time. After using this medicine, the pain stopped immediately, and the wound healed in less than two days.

It's much better than the anti-inflammatory drugs from the health center.

"Let's have dinner at home tonight," Zhou Amei said warmly to Jiang Linwan.

Jiang Linwan dared not stay; with so many of them, they would surely eat the house dry.

Shaking their heads in refusal, Liu Guiying and the others also wisely waved their hands in refusal, saying with smiles, "We can't stay; our husbands and children are waiting for us to cook."

They left the courtyard as they were talking.

The group, having made a fruitful trip, headed towards the military compound. On the way, they encountered an elderly woman crying and pulling at a middle-aged man in a white coat and glasses: "Dr. Luo, please, please save my son!"

Luo Jimin frowned. It wasn't that he didn't want to save the patient, but that he didn't have the ability to. The patient was already vomiting blood, and it was basically confirmed that it was cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis, with blood vessels corroded and damaged by the lesions.

The cavity walls are covered with tuberculosis bacteria, making it difficult for medicine to penetrate. Even if you take medicine, it won't help much, not to mention that those medicines are simply beyond the reach of fishermen's families.

"He's coughing up large amounts of blood. It's cavitary tuberculosis. His lungs are completely rotten. He can't take any medicine, and the bleeding won't stop. He won't last much longer. Go home and prepare for his death. Stay away from others to avoid infecting them."

Hearing this, the old lady felt utterly hopeless and collapsed to the ground. Dr. Luo, who had been striding forward with his medicine box, sighed and helped the old lady up: "Although these words are unpleasant to hear, you have to quickly separate your son from me."

If it spreads, I'm afraid all the fishermen on our island will suffer.

I'll go back and tidy up, then come back to disinfect your house.

When Liu Guiying and the others heard that the old lady's son had tuberculosis, they were all so frightened that they hid far away.

Nine out of ten people with tuberculosis die; this is no exaggeration. Basically, no one who gets this disease survives.

Seeing Jiang Linwan still standing there, Liu Guiying called out anxiously, "Linwan, hurry up and leave, don't get infected."

The old lady naturally heard this and tried to get up from the ground, her body trembling. Jiang Linwan walked over and helped the old lady up: "Grandma, can I go with you to see your son?"

I also know a little about medicine, and I'd like to see what's going on.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, but when she saw that it was such a young girl in front of her, her eyes dimmed again: "Well, then be careful. Dr. Luo just said that my son's disease is contagious."

Jiang Linwan nodded and was about to leave with the old lady when Liu Guiying, frantic with worry, rushed over and grabbed her, saying, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Sister Guiying, you go back first. I'll just take a look. This kind of disease isn't that easy to get infected. You can only get infected if you're in a closed space with the patient for a long time," Jiang Linwan said with a smile.

Liu Guiying was a little worried, and looked at the other military spouses: "You all go back first, I'll stay with Lin Wan."

Upon hearing this, the others were so frightened that they quickly went back.

Jiang Linwan followed the old lady home. Seeing the blood on the ground, she immediately went over and touched the man's chest. She then laughed and said, "Your son doesn't have tuberculosis at all."

The old woman looked at Jiang Linwan incredulously: "Young lady, don't try to fool this old woman. Dr. Luo said it's tuberculosis, how can you say it isn't?"

"Yes, young lady, you have to be responsible for what you say. If this isn't tuberculosis, what else could it be?" Dr. Luo happened to arrive carrying his medicine box, followed by Chen Ximei and another female nurse from the hospital.

Jiang Linwan: "It's lung fluke, and it's most common to get infected in our coastal fishing villages."

Dr. Luo was taken aback: "Lung worms? I've only ever heard of worms growing in the intestines, never in the lungs."

"People on our island probably all love to eat raw marinated crab, drunken crab, stone crabs and stream crabs caught from the beach. If they are not thoroughly steamed or boiled, insect eggs will be hidden inside their bodies."

When a person ingests it, the worm eggs travel through the bloodstream to the lungs and mature into worms.

Jiang Linwan lifted the man's coarse cloth shirt, revealing a sliding nodule next to his ribs: "Look at these lumps that seem to move under the skin. They are the lumps left by worms that have been moving between the pleura and the flesh. Real tuberculosis only rots the lungs and would never cause these subcutaneous worm lumps."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and pointed to the phlegm on the ground: "The phlegm that the tuberculosis patient spits out is bright red blood clots, which is caused by ulceration and bleeding in the lungs."

The man coughed up thick, brownish-red, jam-like phlegm, a mixture of insect debris, excreted from his lungs after insects had gnawed through the lining. This is a unique sign of insect-induced lung damage.

Dr. Luo still had questions: "But he has a low-grade fever every day, and he is losing weight and feeling weak, which is not unusual for tuberculosis."

"This heat is not the kind of heat caused by yin deficiency in tuberculosis, but rather the pathogenic heat caused by the accumulation of parasite toxins in the lungs."

His thinness wasn't due to tuberculosis depleting his energy and blood, but rather because the worms had been draining his lung energy for a long time, and his spleen and stomach were suffering from the worm toxins, causing him to lose his appetite and gradually weaken.

Dr. Luo was shocked and looked Jiang Linwan up and down with admiration. Indeed, there are always people more capable than you, and the younger generation is truly formidable.

"I'll first use acupuncture to stop the bleeding and purge the toxic heat from his lungs..." Jiang Linwan took out silver needles.

Dr. Luo was dumbfounded. In his decades of medical experience, he had always only dared to rest and recuperate in cases of severe coughing up blood and lung rot, and never dared to use acupuncture lightly, for fear that it would aggravate the blood vessels, worsen the coughing up of blood, and cause death.

But the girl in front of me was calm and composed, and her hand holding the needle was surprisingly steady, without a trace of naivety or panic.

She was extremely accurate in selecting acupoints, and her needle insertion was swift and decisive, with perfect precision.

The acupoints Feishu, Chize, and Yuji are all ancient acupuncture points used to purge toxins and unblock the meridians. The force is deep but not strong, accurately avoiding weak blood vessels and specifically targeting accumulated lung toxins.

Every needlestroke reveals profound skill and diagnostic thinking.

The more Dr. Luo looked at the girl, the more serious his expression became, and the more alarmed he felt. This girl was truly amazing.

Chen Ximei, who was standing to the side, knew only the basics of medicine, but seeing that Jiang Linwan was so young yet knew about diseases that even Uncle Luo didn't, and that he was so confident whether he was giving acupuncture or treating patients, she felt a sense of awe.

She couldn't help but tug at Dr. Luo's sleeve: "Uncle Luo, what do you think? She's the girl I mentioned last time."

I inquired and found out she's unemployed. Should we hire her at our hospital?

Someone this capable would definitely relieve a lot of your stress.

This isn't just relieving some of the pressure; it's capable of bearing all of his pressure. Dr. Luo was somewhat troubled: "With such excellent medical skills, why would someone like that come to a small place like ours?"

Chen Ximei rolled her eyes in anger. She hadn't dared to call the doctor before because she thought his medical skills were poor, and now that she saw how good his medical skills were, she was even more afraid to call him.

He deserves to be exhausted!
