Chapter 71 The Pregnant Woman in Difficult Labor
"By the way, Xiao Li, did you come to see me today because of something?"
After chatting about everyday things for a while, Wang Yinghe took the initiative to ask.
Li Yi nodded upon hearing this. "Auntie, I wanted to ask, in all your years of practicing medicine, have you ever encountered a patient with severed internal organs?"
"The five internal organs are cut off?"
Wang Yinghe exclaimed in surprise, then shook her head, "The so-called Yin and Yang, that which goes away is Yin, and that which comes is Yang."
Those who possess the true visceral pulse will die within eighteen days when their liver is severed.
His lungs were completely blocked, and he died on the twelfth day.
His heart was filled with despair, and he died nine days later.
If the kidneys are severed, death will occur within seven days.
The spleen was severed and the patient died four days later.
If it truly reaches the point of complete stagnation of the five internal organs, then life has already come to an end; there is no cure, and no further treatment is necessary.
Li Yi naturally knew that there was no cure for the five internal organs being severely damaged.
"Auntie, to be honest... I have a friend whose yin and yang are in balance and whose pulse is normal, but the qi of his five internal organs has begun to deteriorate, and at a rate ten times faster than normal."
But right now I can't find any root cause at all, so I have no idea how to address it.
Wang Yinghe was startled upon hearing this, "Little Li, your medical skills are so superb, have you also found the cause of the illness?"
"That's right, I can't find any cause for the illness at all!" Li Yi nodded with a wry smile. "I thought you were knowledgeable, Auntie, so I came to ask you."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Li, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yinghe shook her head helplessly. "Although I have practiced medicine for decades, my medical skills are not much better than yours. The collapse of the five internal organs is a sign of the decline of heaven and man. Unless the meridians can be rebuilt and new vitality restored, even a god would find it difficult to cure."
Upon hearing Wang Yinghe's words, Li Yi was immediately filled with bitterness.
Everyone's meridians are already set from birth, so how can another set grow in the body?
This is simply impossible.
Although Li Yi had long considered that it wouldn't be easy to find a way to cure the five internal organs' severed meridians, he still couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed at this moment.
He took a deep breath. "It's okay, Auntie. My friend is doing pretty well right now. I estimate she can hold on for at least three more years. Maybe I'll find a solution by then."
Wang Yinghe knew perfectly well that the severance of the five internal organs was like life and death, something that ordinary people could not resolve.
Seeing that she couldn't help Li Yi, she felt a little ashamed. "Sigh, Li, life is unpredictable, and death is uncertain. Let everything take its natural course."
......
After inquiring about the five internal organs and their malfunctioning meridians from Wang Yinghe, Li Yi did not linger.
After leaving Huichuntang, he drove straight back to the beauty salon.
To everyone's surprise, they were completely blocked off halfway there.
drop!drop!drop!
For a time, the horn blared incessantly.
"Strange, why is the traffic so bad today?"
Li Yi suspected there might have been a car accident ahead, so he got out of the car to check.
He discovered that, for some reason, a section of the road ahead had collapsed, making it completely impassable.
With more and more vehicles behind them, it was too late to turn around.
Faced with this situation, Li Yi was at a loss.
Left with no other option, he could only sit in his car and wait for the traffic police to arrive and gradually clear the traffic.
Just then, a driver in his forties got out of the ambulance and ran forward, shouting, "Excuse me, everyone, please make way! There's a pregnant woman in my ambulance, she's about to collapse!"
Just as the driver reached the Audi A6, Li Yi quickly pulled him back, saying, "Sir, the road ahead has collapsed, and we can't get through."
"What? The road has collapsed?"
The driver thought there was only a traffic accident ahead, so he hurriedly got out of the car to ask everyone to clear the road as soon as possible.
But now, even if others wanted to give way, they couldn't.
"What can we do? Human lives are at stake!"
The ambulance driver was immediately flustered and then prepared to turn back to think of other solutions.
Li Yi suddenly spoke up: "Master, wait! I'll go with you and see if I can help."
The driver immediately became impatient and said, "What help can you possibly be?"
As Li Yi spoke, he got out of the car, saying, "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!"
The driver was taken aback, but after glancing at the young Li Yi, he immediately shook his head. "Young man, I know you mean well and want to help, but we have a doctor with us in the car."
Besides, you, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, can't help with childbirth.
Li Yi didn't know the exact situation of the pregnant woman in the ambulance, so he didn't dare to make any boastful claims. "How could I not be able to help? If it really comes down to it, I'll help clear the traffic behind you."
"Well... alright then, young man, thank you."
"You're welcome, let's go quickly."
The ambulance followed behind Li Yi not long after.
In just a short while, a long line of cars had formed behind the ambulance.
"Oh no, now we can't even back the car out!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the driver inwardly groaned in despair.
Inside the ambulance, a voice came from inside, "Mr. Hu, why aren't we leaving yet? This pregnant woman is about to give up!"
The driver quickly opened the car door. "Dr. Liu, the road ahead has collapsed, and we can't get through at all. The back is also blocked, and we can't back out anytime soon."
"How about we carry the pregnant woman out, walk this stretch of road, and then find another car?"
Li Yi glanced inside.
There were four medical personnel wearing white coats inside the ambulance.
One of the men, in his forties, was probably Dr. Liu, who had just spoken; the other was a female nurse in her twenties; and there were two stretcher bearers.
Apart from that, there was only one pregnant woman lying down, without any family members accompanying her.
The person appeared to be in their thirties. At that moment, their eyes were closed, their face was pale, and their breathing was weak, as if they had lost consciousness.
"No! The patient's blood pressure is too high, she can't move at all! And her breathing is getting weaker and weaker, there's no time left." Dr. Liu shook his head, his face looking very grim.
"What can we do? The car can't get out of here at all!" The driver was at a loss.
Dr. Liu turned to look at the nurse and said, "Xiao Hui, give me another injection of oxytocin."
Upon hearing this, Nurse Xiaohui's expression changed. "Dr. Liu, we've already given her an injection, and the baby is breech. Even if we give her more oxytocin, it won't help."
"I know, but there's nothing we can do now!"
Dr. Liu's face was ashen. "The pregnant woman is having more and more difficulty breathing. We don't have the facilities to perform surgery on the bus. Now we can only try to see if the baby can be delivered. Otherwise, it will be a double tragedy."
Xiao Hui's face turned pale upon hearing this, but she knew the importance of prioritizing and immediately followed Dr. Liu's instructions to take out another vial of oxytocin.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait! No need for induction, I have a way!"
Upon hearing this, the people inside the ambulance noticed that there was an extra person at the door.
Dr. Liu glanced at the young Li Yi and asked, "Who are you, kid?"
"Oh, this young man said he's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and came along to help out," driver Mr. Hu quickly explained.
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Liu's face immediately darkened. "What kind of time is this? What good is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor's solution?"
