384 Mental Illness
No one dared to ask why Gao Huiren would call Qin Xi shifu. They could only pretend that their ears were playing tricks on them.
The seven of the doctors quickly took their seats. Qu Manzhang hesitated, not knowing where to start. He said into the microphone, “Uh… that’s all for the speech session. Next is our on-site diagnosis. Let’s bring on the stage the first patient.”
On one side of the podium, a man and a woman in tattered clothes walked out.
To be precise, it was a mother and son. The mother was dispirited and her legs were paralyzed. The son was taking care of her at the side. It was said that the mother’s leg disease could not be cured at all. She traveled all over the country and spent all the money in the family to no avail. The son worked hard outside just to treat his mother. Later on, when he heard that there would be a medical exchange here, he brought his mother over.
The seven doctors went forward to check on the woman one by one. With the help of various medical equipment, they asked about the basic situation and returned to their seats with solemn expressions.
In the end, Gao Huiren also went over to check. He returned with a solemn expression too. Clearly, the woman’s illness was a little troublesome.
Looking at everyone’s expressions, the man’s heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale. “Doctor, doctor, how’s my mother?”
The seven doctors frowned and shook their heads in embarrassment. At this moment, Qu Manzhang looked at Gao Huiren and asked carefully, “Master Gao, our medical knowledge is limited. I wonder if you can tell anything? Can you enlighten us?”
“From the pulse, there’s no hidden illness in this lady’s leg. Instead, she’s depressed, her Yin and Yang are out of whack, her liver is failing, and her heart and lungs are weak. This is caused by too many suppressed emotions accumulated in her heart. As for her leg illness, I don’t think she’s sick. What’s sick is her heart.”
Gao Huiren’s words stunned everyone present, including the seven doctors.
“What do you mean by what’s sick is her heart?” He Xu asked subconsciously.
Gao Huiren stood up and came to the woman’s side. He said, “The real reason why she can’t walk is psychological.”
He looked at the woman’s son. “When your mother fell sick, did anything serious happen to your family?”
The woman was called Li Mei, and Li Mei’s son was called Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan’s expression immediately changed and he said truthfully, “Could it be because of my father? He was a miner. Three years ago, the coal mine collapsed and my father was buried. My mother cried for the entire night. After my father was buried, she became like this. Oh right, when my father was dug out, his legs were gone. Could it be because of this?”
Li Mei rolled her glazed eyes, as if she had sensed something. Coincidentally, Gao Huiren saw it and shook his head with a sigh. “Your mother’s illness is a mental illness and needs to be treated by a psychiatrist. However, your mother’s health is not good now. She’s suffering from accumulated depression. In the long term, there will be problems. I’ll prescribe you some medicine. With the help of the psychiatrist, your mother will recover soon.”
Just as he was about to prescribe medicine, Qin Xi walked forward and said with a faint smile, “Medicine is needed. As for the psychiatrist, he might not be able to cure her. Why don’t you let me try?”
“Shifu?” Gao Huiren knew that Qin Xi was a divine doctor, but could a divine doctor also treat mental illnesses? Why didn’t he know?
Lu Chuan frowned at her, as if he did not believe in Qin Xi’s medical skills. However, when he heard Gao Huiren call Qin Xi ‘Shifu’, he was slightly less suspicious.
He took a step back and took the initiative to make way. “Thank you!”
