Chapter 345: Chapter 150: Those Whom Western Medicine Cannot Save, I Will Save With Chinese Medicine (Double Chapter)

"But..."

Zhang Jiwei wanted to say something more, but Huang Beishan raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know you want to talk about the pharmacopoeia, am I not aware of it? But the dosage it prescribes isn’t enough to save people. The purpose of establishing the pharmacopoeia was to help doctors use medicines more effectively and appropriately, not to be a shackle in saving lives.

It’s not meant to restrict doctors. I’ve seen the prescription Dr. Lu wrote; it is indeed from the Fire God School without doubt. Even if it wasn’t Dr. Lu here today, any other Chinese doctor from the Fire God School would probably prescribe something similar. Besides, it may not be as effective as Dr. Lu’s prescription.

Of course, you are the dean of the City First Hospital; whether or not to use Dr. Lu’s plan is up to you, or you can leave the decision to this person."

"This..."

Zhang Jiwei hesitated.

To be honest, he could not directly oppose it, mainly because Ji Huan was already conscious. Whether to use this treatment plan depended on Ji Huan himself, not him.

Moreover, in this ward, not to mention Ji Huan, even Ji Huan’s secretary had an administrative level that was no lower than his. Most importantly, the secretary, being closely tied to Ji Huan, had incomparable authority.

Zhang Jiwei thought for a moment and had to look at Ji Huan: "What do you think you should do?"

Ji Huan just glanced at Zhang Jiwei: "Other than this, do you have a better treatment plan?"

Zhang Jiwei was silent.

If he had a better plan, he would not have given the credit for saving a life to Chinese medicine. Now, he not only failed to gain anything but also left Ji Huan with a poor impression of the City First Hospital, losing both face and benefit.

"No." Zhang Jiwei finally shook his head.

He actually wanted to suggest that Zheng Xianjue try coronary angioplasty, but remembering what Zheng Xianjue had mentioned to him earlier, he swallowed back the words that almost left his mouth. At this point, it was best not to make mistakes, even if he couldn’t achieve merit.

No merit was still alright. Even though Ji Huan might be displeased, he would at most just scold a bit. But making another mistake would be more serious than just scolding.

"Could it be that I should listen to you and send me to Lingshui?" Ji Huan let out a cold hum.

"By the time you send me to Lingshui, Dean Zhang, do you think I would still be alive?"

Zhang Jiwei broke out in a cold sweat; such words carried weight, even without attributions of verbal abuse, they were more serious than that. At this point, not only Zhang Jiwei but almost everyone in the ward held their breath.

Even Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingshan took a deep breath.

However, Lu Xuan remained unfazed, just quietly watching the scene unfold.

But when he saw Zhang Jiwei looking so nervous, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

He actually hoped that Zhang Jiwei would be firm and stop him from using this treatment plan, after all, with such a large dosage of Aconite, if something went wrong, there was no way he would get away with it. This was much more serious than killing a regular person.

But Ji Huan was no regular person.

Since Zhang Jiwei dared not go against Ji Huan, there was nothing much to be done.

Ji Huan coldly glanced at Zhang Jiwei, then looked toward Lu Xuan: "Dr. Lu, although I don’t know what the Fire God School you mentioned means, or what issues there are with a high dosage of Aconite, but essentially, you did save half of my life, I trust you."

Despite saying this, Lu Xuan didn’t take it seriously.

To put it bluntly, was Ji Huan truly unafraid of death?

Even ordinary people fear death, let alone Ji Huan, who holds a high position.

However, saying this was simply out of a lack of options, as they couldn’t very well stop the treatment and just wait for death, right?

Testing the waters still gave a glimmer of hope.

Besides, the acupuncture technique that Lu Xuan demonstrated earlier had indeed impressed him. With merely two needles and some medicine, he surprisingly relieved the pain swiftly, even more efficiently than Western medicine. Moreover, the side effects of acupuncture were significantly less than those of Western medicine, almost negligible.

As such, Ji Huan naturally had more faith in Lu Xuan’s treatment plan.

Otherwise, with Zhang Jiwei’s resistance, he would probably be too afraid to use Lu Xuan’s treatment plan.

After all, nobody wants to die; he least of all.

Considering all these factors, Lu Xuan couldn’t take Ji Huan’s words at face value either. You ought to clarify the situation, let the other person understand the pros and cons—that’s what really matters.

"Aconite enters the heart, kidney, and spleen meridians. It supports heart yang, warms spleen yang, and strengthens kidney yang, making it essential for supplementing fire, boosting yang, and for ’returning yang and reversing the pathology,’ often used to treat collapsed yang and yang deficiency syndromes. Also, its hot and dispersing properties make it a potent medicine for expelling cold, eliminating dampness, and relieving pain, commonly used for cold-damp pain conditions. Nonetheless, this medicine is extremely hot with pure yang properties, and is highly toxic. The pharmacopoeia clearly states its dosage is 3-15 grams."

"And how much did your treatment plan use?"

"Over ten times that amount."

Those words made everyone, who was previously clueless, gasp involuntarily. A dosage of 3-15 grams of Aconite already demanded cautious attention due to its toxicity; using over ten times that amount—how could anyone survive consuming that?

At this moment, everyone finally understood why Zhang Jiwei was opposed.

If this medicine was used and something went wrong, Lu Xuan would undoubtedly take the first hit, but Zhang Jiwei, as the dean of the City First Hospital, would not evade responsibility either, since the rescue occurred under his administration, holding him accountable as dean.

And although Ji Huan wasn’t a doctor, upon learning about the toxicity of Aconite, and that it was used at a dosage over ten times what the pharmacopoeia recommended, he too was somewhat at a loss.
