"What do you think I'm trying to do? What, are you still questioning my treatment plan even now?
I have many methods that modern medicine cannot explain, and you have just personally experienced them!
I can simulate treatment methods similar to thermal ablation, burning away the patient's lesions, even those rotten masses can be burned away!
Do you have any questions? If you doubt me, I can perform an experiment on you myself and let you feel it.
Oh right, don't you have a bit of gout? Shall I try to ablate your tophi for you!"
Seeing the ill-intentioned smile on Ling Tian's face, Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang shivered again.
Ling Tian had nearly taken his life with just a touch of acupuncture; if he were to ablate his tophi, it would be worse than death.
At this moment, Director Wu spoke again.
"Ling Tian, even if we take a step back and assume your proposed plan is effective and the lesions can be burned away through ablation, have you considered that even so, it would still be a form of surgery?
And the elder is now at the end of his rope, his immune system on the verge of collapse. Even a minor wound or acupuncture might cost the elder his life."
Ling Tian nodded and said, "This is precisely the second thing I wanted to mention. I will use a secret technique to stimulate the elder's body and release all of his potential.
In other words, by doing this, not only will the elder be safe, but he will also be able to achieve a relatively good quality of life for the next year..."
Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this. If this could truly be achieved, it would be wonderful.
"However, there is a price to pay for this. The price is that all the energy within the elder's cells needs to be released.
In other words, this treatment method can give the elder an extra year or so of lifespan, but after this period, the elder will truly be at the end of his rope, and all treatment methods will become ineffective!"
Everyone gasped. This was a truly radical treatment method. Setting aside whether it could be achieved, even if it were, this method seemed quite cruel.
To explicitly tell someone they only have a year and will surely die afterward, this treatment method sounds rather overbearing.
"Well, Ling Tian, is there no compromise?" Director Wu asked.
"No! The elder's age is what it is, and he has suffered from illness for years. His body has reached its limit. What I'm doing is squeezing out the elder's last reserves of life potential to buy him some time.
To put it bluntly, this is defying fate. How can it be done without paying a price!"
"Then tell us, how do you plan to implement this treatment method?"
"Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and some methods from the Zhu You Ke..."
"Zhu You Ke? What are you joking about? What do you think this place is, playing tricks and performing rituals here?" Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang couldn't help but jump in again.
"What, haven't you learned your lesson? Do you need me to help you calm down again!
Just because you can't do something doesn't mean I can't!
Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Ling Tian glanced at Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang and said with a cold tone.
Zhu You Ke, also known as Zhu You, Zhu You Shu, Zhou Jin Ke, or the Thirteen Branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was one of the thirteen branches of ancient Chinese medicine for treating diseases.
The method of Zhu You, which includes Chinese herbal medicine, is a way of treating diseases by using talismans and incantations.
"Zhu" means incantation, and "You" refers to the cause of the illness. The concept of "Zhu You" is broad, encompassing forbidden methods, incantations, blessings, talismans, as well as suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, hypnosis, music therapy, and more. It is not merely about blessing the cause of the illness to cure it.
For some diseases with known causes, incantations might not work, indicating that the method is ineffective, and one should switch to forbidden methods, talismans, or combine it with medication.
In ancient times, the most common and famous method of Zhu You was to light a gourd and have the patient drink water with a talisman.
However, the true art of Zhu You has long been lost, and what remains are all scams. Therefore, these doctors all believe that Zhu You is a fraud, merely a charade!
Now, Ling Tian's proposal to use the legendary Zhu You method to treat the elder has touched upon the blind spots of these doctors' knowledge, so it's no wonder they are agitated.
In fact, Ling Tian's actions are truly defying fate. This is no longer an ordinary treatment method. Ling Tian intends to use a celestial art obtained from the Spirit Realm. As for the acupuncture and herbal medicine he mentioned, including Zhu You, they are merely to cover his tracks.
If he had proposed using celestial arts to treat the elder's illness, he would likely have been kicked out or sent to a mental hospital.
Director Wu pondered for a moment and then said, "Dr. Ling Tian, your proposed plan is difficult for us to accept. Could you provide a more detailed explanation for us to review?"
Ling Tian smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I cannot write it down. Some things can only be understood, not conveyed.
But I can promise you that I can absolutely achieve it!
Of course, if you feel that my treatment method is too aggressive or cannot pass your evaluation, then you are free to not use my treatment method.
But I must remind you, there is not much time left for the elder!"
"This..."
Director Wu found himself in a dilemma. On one hand, the treatment method Ling Tian proposed was indeed unreliable. On the other hand, the elder's condition was truly dire. Once the lesions broke through the blood-brain barrier, the person would be gone!
"How about this, I've done what I can. I'll take my leave now, and you can discuss it slowly!"
With that, Ling Tian greeted the patient's family member, Lu Weiguo, and left the hospital with Xuanyuan Jie.
After they left, the experts quickly gathered and began their discussion.
"I disagree with letting Ling Tian treat Elder Lu! Look at the plans he proposed, what is all this nonsense, Zhu You Ke? This seriously violates common sense and regulations... I firmly oppose it!"
As soon as Ling Tian left, Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang quickly became energized. As the saying goes, when the tiger is away, the monkeys reign supreme.
"I don't see it that way. I think it's worth a try!
You've all seen how skilled Ling Tian is. His medical skills even surpass our imagination!
A descendant of the Medical Saint lineage does indeed have some tricks up his sleeve..."
"I object. Even if Ling Tian is to treat him, he should at least provide a detailed plan. This is a matter of discipline, otherwise, we would be derelict in our duties..."
