Chapter 538: Can He Do It? (1st update, please subscribe)
Dr. Zhang said to Ye Chen very seriously: "Mr. Ye, although my mentor mentioned your medical skills are exceptional, I must remind you that the patient's condition is extremely critical now. Despite the success of the surgery, there are many uncertainties, and once she leaves the ICU, there could be life-threatening risks at any time."
Dr. Zhang handed over all the information regarding Mrs. Li's condition to Ye Chen.
"Mr. Ye, everything about Mrs. Li's condition is here, for your reference."
Ye Chen nodded: "Thank you. I understand the situation you've described, but Mrs. Li doesn't have much time left; she can't hold on for more than three days."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Dr. Zhang was taken aback.
After all, even he couldn't predict when a patient might pass away.
Dr. Zhang thought Ye Chen might be speaking nonsense.
But he was introduced by the revered Elder Zhou, who regards him as a miraculous healer, so Dr. Zhang dared not disbelieve him.
Moreover, Elder Zhou once told him about Ye Chen's miraculous healing cases, thus he had to believe Ye Chen's words.
Li Sitong's face changed drastically upon hearing Ye Chen's words.
She tightly grasped Ye Chen's hand and said: "Ye Chen, you must save my mother."
Ye Chen nodded: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Aunt won't have any problems."
Ye Chen said: "Quickly move the patient from the ICU; the longer the delay, the slower the recovery."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Dr. Zhang nodded.
"Mr. Ye, are you sure? After all, the ICU is a sterile ward; once the patient leaves the ICU, she may face cross-infection, which could be disastrous."
Ye Chen nodded: "Trust me, I will take care of this issue."
Seeing Ye Chen's resolve, Dr. Zhang had no choice but to nod.
"All right, let's proceed with the discharge formalities."
Father Li signed the indemnity agreement, and Dr. Zhang began arranging for Mrs. Li to be transferred from the ICU to a regular ward.
Dr. Zhang was still worried.
After all, he had been the one treating Mrs. Li all along.
Even though Elder Zhou said Ye Chen is a miraculous healer, he still held some skepticism about Ye Chen.
After all, Ye Chen was too young, and transferring a patient from the ICU to a regular ward seemed like pure madness to him.
However, since Ye Chen had obtained the family's consent and the support of his mentor, Dr. Zhang had nothing left to say.
The more Dr. Zhang thought about it, the less confident he felt, so he decided to call Elder Zhou.
"Mentor, is Ye Chen really capable? I feel he seems somewhat amateurish."
Elder Zhou chuckled: "I initially thought the same, but you know what? Last time he performed a miraculous recovery on Elder Yan from the Yan Family, who had been declared dead due to heart illness and cerebral hemorrhage. He pulled him back from the brink of death; this person is far from ordinary."
Upon hearing Elder Zhou's words, Dr. Zhang was astonished.
Dr. Zhang knew how grave the illness Elder Zhou was referring to was.
When the condition reaches such a stage, it is beyond curable.
Yet, Ye Chen somehow managed a miraculous recovery.
If Ye Chen truly possessed such abilities, then he certainly was a miraculous healer.
Elder Zhou continued: "Actually, I was also skeptical like you initially, but after witnessing his medical skills, I could only be impressed; disbelief became impossible. Now, Elder Yan is reportedly playing Tai Chi in the square."
Upon hearing Elder Zhou's words, Dr. Zhang was utterly shocked.
For such a patient to even recover enough to leave bed was hard to believe, but to actually be able to play Tai Chi?
This was simply incredible.
Dr. Zhang nodded: "I understand now, Mentor."
Dr. Zhang understood Elder Zhou's stature, being revered as a medical authority throughout Hua Country.
If even he held Ye Chen in such high regard, Ye Chen's skills couldn't be false.
Additionally, Dr. Zhang was aware of Elder Yan's prominence as a well-known contributor to Hua Country, making Ye Chen's ability to heal him clearly extraordinary.
Now he was merely curious as to what kind of formidable techniques Ye Chen possessed to cure Mrs. Li's ailment.
After signing the agreement, Mrs. Li was transferred out of her ward.
Li Sitong and Father Li were both extremely anxious.
After all, despite Ye Chen's confidence, they were deeply worried because it was their family member.
Ye Chen smiled and reassured Li Sitong: "Rest assured, leave everything to me."
As he spoke, Ye Chen affectionately gave Li Sitong a teasing head pat, then said: "I can guarantee Aunt will wake up in an hour, be able to eat something and walk tomorrow, although full recovery may take about a month."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Dr. Zhang was utterly stunned.
To Dr. Zhang, Ye Chen's statement was nothing short of a fantasy.
Mrs. Li's condition was excessively severe; even with an organ transplant, walking would be impossible within a year or so.
A day for getting out of bed and walking sounded preposterous.
Mrs. Li was quickly moved to an advanced ward.
Due to Ye Chen's influence, Mrs. Li's ward was a VIP unit typically reserved for high-level officials, outfitted with excellent facilities.
Ye Chen said: "Dr. Zhang, I will now use acupuncture skill to revive the patient's failing organs; I need your cooperation, ensuring no outsiders enter."
Dr. Zhang nodded somewhat sheepishly: "Can I observe the process?"
Hearing Dr. Zhang's request, Ye Chen nodded: "Sure, but please remain silent."
Dr. Zhang nodded appreciatively.
He felt incredibly excited.
If Ye Chen indeed possessed such abilities, observing his technique would be an invaluable opportunity for enhancing his own medical skills.
Ye Chen picked up a pen and wrote a prescription first.
"Dr. Zhang, please help me procure the herbs from the traditional medicine pharmacy; brew them according to my prescription for the patient to drink upon waking."
"All right, no problem."
Dr. Zhang immediately had someone prepare the herbal prescription.
The treatment commenced.
By now, doctors from various departments had gathered around the ward.
They were all talking about a young man using acupuncture to treat a patient with kidney failure.
Ye Chen took out silver needles from his needle pouch, then quickly inserted several needles into Mrs. Li's acupuncture points.
Upon witnessing Ye Chen's needle movements, Dr. Zhang was taken aback.
Elder Zhou was a master of Chinese medicine, Dr. Zhang had seen him needle before, yet in comparison, Elder Zhou paled beside Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's silver needles continued to pierce into Mrs. Li's acupuncture points.
Mrs. Li's illness was organ failure, specifically failure of the kidneys, and the only treatment was a transplant.
Yet, Ye Chen's acupuncture skill aimed to restore vitality to the failing organs.
Ye Chen performed an ancient, long-lost technique known as the Fire Mountain Needle Skill.
This technique was mentioned in old texts, but it had been outdated.
Watching Ye Chen execute the technique, a doctor quietly asked Dr. Zhang: "Is this guy reliable? Just with a few needles, can the patient's kidney functions really regenerate? Isn't this nonsense?"
Dr. Zhang shook his head: "All we can do now is hope for a miracle."
