Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1775 The Sun Shines Like Me 4

While others were receiving various offers, both satisfactory and less-than-ideal, after their senior year internships, Ma Nianyuan, a medical student, was worrying about her master's thesis. Coincidentally, her teacher received a request from an old friend to diagnose the arm injury of a promising junior student who had been injured in a car accident, and took Ma Nianyuan, her last disciple, along with him.

Mr. Nan is 82 years old this year. If he were a Western doctor, he could only do some theoretical research work. But as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who becomes more popular with age, he is still active on the front line.

Grandpa Nan was extremely fond of this disciple. Not only was the disciple exceptionally talented, but he also possessed the compassion of a healer. Only by relying on his quick eyes, hands, and seniority could he snatch this precious disciple away!

After getting into the car, Grandpa Nan said to Ma Nianyuan with concern, "I've read your thesis topic, and it's excellent. The main reason for taking you out this time is not to make friends with big shots, but because you are more skilled in recuperation, and the patient fits this description perfectly. This will give you room to show your skills."

"Of course, you don't need to feel guilty. I'm still here. If anything happens, I'll ask you to stand up for me."

Regarding that patient, Mr. Nan couldn't help but sigh: "The patient was also a doctor, and a very talented neurosurgeon at that, but a car accident injured his hand. According to my friend, from a Western medical perspective, he has recovered well and has reached a normal standard of living, but as a doctor, his career is almost over..."

Ma Nianyuan understood; this was something that Western medicine couldn't solve and had no other options for, which is why they turned to traditional Chinese medicine.

Even without reviewing the medical records, Ma Nianyuan had many guesses: "So the other person injured a nerve in their arm, and the healing after surgery was not ideal?"

Old Master Nan sighed and said, "From a Western medical perspective, that's roughly correct. Even though the human body holds many mysteries, and I've studied medicine for over seventy years, how much can I really say I understand?"

The saying "one is never too old to learn" is absolutely true in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, especially for someone like Master Nan who is both exceptionally talented and hardworking. The more he learns, the more he realizes how ignorant he is. Therefore, from a young age, he has enjoyed exchanging ideas with others, and after becoming a doctor, he took on many disciples in order to gather wisdom from all sources.

As for Ma Nianyuan, although this world had no spiritual energy and no so-called remnants from the previous era, it was just a pure and ordinary scientific world. However, science and technology had not yet developed to a certain stage, and the various wonders of the human body could not be explained. Therefore, it was no wonder that Old Master Nan was delighted by her knowledgeable nature.

For Western medicine, past medical records and examinations can only serve as a reference. Almost every doctor pays more attention to the current examination. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, places more emphasis on this. Therefore, without looking at the patient Lin Yusen's medical records, Master Nan directly examined him and then had Ma Nianyuan examine him as well.

Ma Nianyuan did not pay attention to other aspects of the patient Lin Yusen at first, until she discovered that Lin Yusen seemed to know her and had a grudge against her, which attracted her attention.

Lin Yusen's left arm had its veins and nerves severed. Although the veins and nerves were repaired with skillful suturing, the nerves did not recover well enough. Therefore, Lin Yusen could not perform high-difficulty and high-precision surgeries. As a result, Lin Yusen has basically left the operating table. Even if he engages in medical-related work in the future, he will probably only be able to follow the theoretical route in the laboratory.

Grandpa Nan gestured for Ma Nianyuan to speak, and Ma Nianyuan did not hesitate and said directly to Lin Yusen: "I'm sure many doctors have already told you that there are different kinds of damage to multiple nerves in your left hand, while the tendons and blood vessels are less of a problem. It is precisely because the nerve healing is not ideal that your left hand cannot support high-difficulty and high-precision problems."

Upon hearing Ma Nianyuan recount her situation, Lin Yusen was forced to quickly suppress all other complicated thoughts and focus on listening to her diagnosis.

Seeing that Lin Yusen had finally stopped making those confusing expressions, Ma Nianyuan continued, "You should at least have heard of the concept of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. In my diagnosis, the meridians in your left forearm are quite blocked. Theoretically speaking, once the meridians are unblocked, your left forearm will be able to recover its health."

Lin Yusen was overjoyed. He no longer needed to consult Old Master Nan and directly asked Ma Nianyuan, "Then how should I cooperate?"

This was the first time Ma Nianyuan had encountered such a straightforward patient as Lin Yusen, so she had to turn to Grandpa Nan for advice.

How could Old Master Nan not see that Lin Yusen had some feelings for his precious disciple? The old man was happy to see it happen. After all, Lin Yusen used to be a good doctor with both talent and compassion, and now he was just a patient with hope. It wouldn't be a problem to match them up.

Grandpa Nan said with a smile, "Yuanyuan, it's rare to encounter a patient who is so cooperative. I, this old man, will assist you."

With Grandpa Nan personally speaking and watching, everyone felt more at ease. Ma Nianyuan, however, made no attempt to hide her expertise and directly used her skills. After writing the prescription, she asked Lin Yusen with a smile, "My prescription is for you while you are young and strong and your body can withstand the strain. It's an extreme approach. I'm going to steam and boil your entire arm. Are you scared?"

Lin Yusen was slightly puzzled. At Nie Chengyuan's birthday party, Ma Nianyuan was like a very exquisite but soulless doll. Only when she left did she reveal a faint but genuine smile, like snow welcoming the first rays of the sun.

With just one glance, Lin Yusen knew he had been in a car accident, but there must be some hidden reason or misunderstanding behind Ma Nianyuan's refusal to show herself, since his own feelings were the most genuine.

Thinking of this, Lin Yusen also laughed and said, "Oh, how scary! After steaming, are we going to eat it with sauce?"

Seeing that the worry between Lin Yusen's brows had disappeared, Ma Nianyuan smiled even more sincerely: "Alright, Mr. Lin, the worry between your brows has dissipated. Once I've gathered all the medicinal herbs and prepared the ointment, we'll officially begin the treatment. During this time, you must maintain a good mood and strictly follow the doctor's orders. As a fellow doctor, you should know very well how annoying patients who don't follow medical advice are."

Lin Yusen always knew that Ma Nianyuan was teasing him, but he still gave her face and agreed, "I'm a good doctor elsewhere, and I'm sure I can be a good patient in front of Dr. Ma."

The two young people chatted and laughed easily, while the elders on the side exchanged smiles, clearly pleased with the outcome.
