"Doctor, Doctor Sun, come quickly to see my father!" Jiang Jiye shouted.
Sun Yangqiu hurried over, took Jiang Yuanta's pulse, and examined him further. His expression changed dramatically. "This is a sudden illness, he needs to be sent to the hospital immediately!"
"Hurry and call an ambulance!" Jiang Jiye urged.
"I'm afraid it might be too late!" Sun Yangqiu's face was grim.
Jiang Jiye was somewhat annoyed. "Didn't you say my father was in good health earlier? How could this sudden illness occur?"
Sun Yangqiu quickly explained, "Such sudden illnesses are very difficult to detect, and I only took a simple pulse. I didn't conduct an in-depth examination."
Jiang Jiye knew that getting angry with Sun Yangqiu at this moment was useless. He suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at Li Se beside him. "You said earlier that my father's condition was very serious. Do you have a solution?"
"Mr. Jiang, what solution could he possibly have? He's so young, and a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at that. Even Dr. Sun is at a loss," Ji Wenfei said sarcastically.
"Shut your mouth!" Jiang Jiye roared.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm just telling the truth," Ji Wenfei said, puzzled. How could Li Se, at his age, possess any medical skills?
Li Se, however, appeared calm. He glanced at Jiang Yuanta and said faintly, "Cerebral arteriosclerosis. You have ten minutes left."
"If you have the ability, why aren't you treating him?" Ji Wenfei asked in a commanding tone.
"I can treat him, but why should I?" Li Se sneered.
Ji Wenfei was about to say something more when Jiang Jiye quickly interjected, "I apologize for my rudeness earlier. Little Doctor, please save my father. My Jiang family will remember this favor!"
As he spoke, he cast a cold glance at Ji Wenfei and ordered, "Apologize to the Little Doctor!"
"I..." Ji Wenfei was extremely frustrated.
"Apologize!" Jiang Jiye said sternly.
Ji Wenfei was startled by Jiang Jiye's angry demeanor. He couldn't afford to offend the Jiang family. Reluctantly, he apologized to Li Se, "I was out of line just now. I'm sorry."
"Little Doctor, I also apologize for my actions earlier." Jiang Jiye hadn't believed Li Se much initially, even mistaking him for someone trying to curry favor with his family. Now, he realized how ignorant he had been. He then looked at Xia Bingyun again. "Bingyun, please, ask your boyfriend to treat my father!"
"Li Se, please save Grandpa Jiang," Xia Bingyun said.
Jiang Jiye bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Divine Doctor, my Jiang family will remember your great kindness!"
Li Se's expression softened slightly. He walked over, took out silver needles, and performed acupuncture on Jiang Yuanta. After the acupuncture, his expression remained somewhat solemn. "The surrounding arteries, coronary arteries, and renal arteries have all hardened."
He immediately channeled spiritual energy into the silver needles and employed the "Spiritual Turtle Eight Techniques," which finally stabilized Jiang Yuanta. The pain on his face also eased considerably. After removing the needles, Jiang Jiye anxiously asked, "Divine Doctor, how is my father's condition?"
Li Se exhaled lightly and said, "Temporarily controlled."
"Just controlled?" Jiang Jiye's heart, which had begun to relax, tensed up again.
Li Se said with some helplessness, "This illness has accompanied your father for a long time. I believe he has experienced episodes before, but they were only in the early stages, and you didn't take it too seriously. Now, it's too late. Being able to control it is already quite good. I can only do my best to treat him. Whether he can be completely cured, I cannot guarantee."
Although his medical skills were extraordinary, he was not an immortal. If Jiang Yuanta were in his fifties or sixties, he would have been confident. But the man was eighty years old, and with such an illness, a complete recovery was extremely difficult.
"I understand." Jiang Jiye's face showed self-reproach. "Divine Doctor Li, from now on, you are a benefactor to our Jiang family!"
Jiang Yuanta had regained consciousness. He had always believed his health was good, but today he realized how poor it actually was. Although he hadn't heard of the illness Li Se mentioned, he knew he likely wouldn't live much longer.
"In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cerebral arteriosclerosis primarily falls under the categories of dizziness, headache, insomnia, forgetfulness, stroke, and dementia. Your condition will only worsen from now on, and the symptoms I've described will gradually manifest. However, I can help control the episodes. How long you live specifically depends on you," Li Se said.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Li!" Jiang Yuanta said gratefully. Being able to control the onset of the illness was already quite remarkable, and having lived to eighty, he felt he had lived his life to the fullest.
Li Se wrote out a prescription and handed it to Jiang Jiye. "Follow this prescription, one dose daily, without interruption!"
"Alright!" Jiang Jiye nodded.
Before long, a group of doctors arrived. Their efficiency was remarkable; it hadn't even been ten minutes since the ambulance was called. This was mainly because figures like Jiang Yuanta had dedicated doctors. The leading Western medicine doctor, upon seeing that Jiang Yuanta had recovered, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately conducted a series of examinations.
After the results of the carotid ultrasound, CT angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography came out, the doctor said gravely, "Elder Jiang, it's cerebral arteriosclerosis. I suggest hospitalization. With our current medical level, controlling it is not a problem."
"No need," Jiang Yuanta shook his head. "A young divine doctor has already helped me control it and even gave me a prescription. Hospitalization is unnecessary."
His time was limited, and he naturally didn't want to spend it in a hospital.
"A young divine doctor?" The doctor frowned. Then he noticed the Chinese medicine prescription in Jiang Jiye's hand and asked, "This prescription was written by that young divine doctor?"
"Yes!" Jiang Jiye nodded.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" The doctor frowned again. "As far as I know, it's almost impossible for TCM to treat such sudden illnesses. Elder Jiang, please listen to me. It's better to be hospitalized."
"Why can't Traditional Chinese Medicine treat sudden illnesses?" Li Se sneered. "So many people are watching. I have already helped Elder Jiang control his condition, and this prescription I wrote, taken once a day, can help Elder Jiang control the onset of the illness!"
"Nonsense!" The doctor was somewhat angered. "How can TCM cure diseases? Even if it can, it's not by a young fellow like you. I know some TCM practitioners, but they are all older and have some skill. Yet, even they wouldn't be able to treat such sudden illnesses. You are completely harming Elder Jiang."
He then looked at Jiang Yuanta and said, "Elder Jiang, please listen to me. Don't drink any herbal medicine. Timely hospitalization is the best option!"
"No need," Jiang Yuanta's voice turned cold.
"Elder Jiang..." the doctor tried to say more.
But at that moment, Sun Yangqiu, who had been silent, suddenly became agitated. He slapped his forehead, pointed at Li Se, and exclaimed in surprise, "Divine Doctor Li... you... are you the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, that youngest Imperial Physician in history?"
