I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 301 - 267: Is There Food for Kidney Deficiency?

A serving of Poria and Yam Pancakes, a bowl of Locking Yang Porridge, and a plate of Jade Bamboo Shoots and Green Pepper Stir-Fried Pork.

That's Lu Xiaoxi's lunch.

Oh, and a complimentary cup of Goji Berry and Astragalus Tea.

This meal looks very simple, and every portion is small.

The total cost is twenty-nine yuan.

The most expensive is actually the Jade Bamboo Shoots and Green Pepper Stir-Fried Pork, which costs eighteen yuan.

However, a large portion costs thirty-five yuan!

But if Lu Xiaoxi were to eat that much alone, she obviously wouldn't finish it, not only spending more but also wasting food.

On normal days, Lu Xiaoxi wouldn't eat so simply.

But the doctor had already warned her, always eat less during meals, it's better to feel a bit hungry than to eat until full.

Especially when you're usually hungry and skip meals, suddenly indulging oneself and overeating is the most damaging to the Spleen and Stomach.

Once the Spleen and Stomach are harmed, not only does the body gain weight easily, absorption becomes poor, and naturally, so does the skin.

After knowing this, Lu Xiaoxi firmly remembered it.

In her worldview, any behavior that makes her uglier must be strictly avoided.

Dig in!

After showing her dishes to the viewers in the live stream, Lu Xiaoxi happily started eating.

Gotta say, this Poria and Yam Pancake tastes pretty good, even though it's sweet, it's not greasy, and the light fragrance lingers in the mouth, giving it an indescribable uniqueness.

You might say it's delicious, it's just okay, but if you say it's bad, that would be an exaggeration.

Biting a piece of pancake, chewing it twice, then a bite of meat, hmm, not bad.

Hoo hoo~

Lu Xiaoxi then tasted the Locking Yang Porridge.

The porridge has a slight salty flavor, perfect consistency, and contains small yellowish-brown chunks.

This is actually the traditional Chinese medicine Suo Yang, which has kidney-tonifying and intestine-lubricating effects.

Lan Mei recommended this porridge to Lu Xiaoxi for two reasons: one, she indeed needs kidney nourishment; two, lubricating the intestines can help Lu Xiaoxi rid the body of turbidity in time, allowing the large intestine to be smooth, thus no impurities are in the small intestine's gas ascent to the lungs, which can better nourish Lu Xiaoxi's skin.

So, for Lu Xiaoxi, this porridge is undoubtedly the best choice.

Soon, Lu Xiaoxi finished her meal.

She actually wanted to continue eating because after the meal, she only felt about sixty to seventy percent full.

But remembering Lan Mei's words, despite still having a craving, Lu Xiaoxi did not order more.

"Hmm, I feel this meal was okay, the taste is acceptable, and the price is reasonable. What do you think?"

After finishing, Lu Xiaoxi started interacting with viewers in her live stream.

"Is the taste really good?"

"The price seems a bit high!"

"Too small in portion!"

"If this could replace traditional medicine, I think it's acceptable."

"Just thirty yuan for one meal, at least seventy to eighty a day for three meals, over two thousand a month, who could afford this in Jianghan!"

"You above, are you silly, medicated meals are also medicine, who said you have to eat them every day!"

"The key is whether it's effective!"

"This is too cheap, really, my aunt went to Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment, her month's medicine cost more than three thousand, and it wasn't even effective!"

"Is there a kidney deficiency meal? I have a friend who doesn't like porridge."

"+1, I have a friend who also doesn't like porridge."

"..."

...

Jianghan People's Hospital.

Emergency Department.

"Director Guo, the CT results are out." The nurse came to the emergency department.

Guo Ximin immediately took the films handed over by the nurse, and with just one look, noticed the ruptured gallbladder. However, at this moment, his eyes were fixated on the ribs, "What is going on, the patient's bones show obvious fracture traces, and shattered bone pieces are scattered, yet the bones are connected?"

The nurse was stunned by the question, "I don't know, this was just taken."

Guo Ximin frowned, paused, "Alright, transfer the patient to thoracic surgery, and then call Director Zhang from orthopedics over."

The nurse nodded, "Sure."

Not long after, the orthopedic doctor Zhang Zhuangzhuang arrived at the emergency department.

"Hey Guo, what's up, calling me over all of a sudden, is there an emergency?"

Guo Ximin handed the films over to him, "Look at this scan first."

"A scan? You had Xiao Wang urgently call me over just to look at this, isn't this... huh? What's up with these ribs, a knife wound? No, this clearly was caused by a heavy object impact, or a high fall, but why are the bones still connected if they're broken?" Zhang Zhuangzhuang noted the scan showed the sixth and seventh ribs, although fractured with significant gaps, were in a normal-connected state, which was unusual.

There's no way fractured bones could still be connected.

"I felt it was unusual, so I called you over, do you think the patient needs orthopedic surgery?" Guo Ximin asked.

Zhang Zhuangzhuang shook his head, "No surgery needed, the bones have already healed, the few bone fragments can be reabsorbed by the patient's body, and the fracture will heal on its own in about a month or so."

"I'm curious if this patient was treated before coming to our hospital."

Guo Ximin asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Zhuangzhuang pointed to the scan, "Was this person hit by a car?"

Guo Ximin smirked, "Sharp as always, Zhang."

Zhang Zhuangzhuang said, "After so many years, you develop an eye for these things, but the odd part is, if it was a car hit and it fractured the bones, these two ribs should be caving inward, it can't be as it is now."

"I suspect someone performed Bone Setting on the patient before hospital admission, but honestly, this kind of bone fracture setting is extremely difficult, because the two fractured bones are very close, also very short, making force application tricky, while also worrying a misplaced push could drive the bone spike into the liver."

"So, for someone to perform Bone Setting on such a patient without imaging, completely restore the bones and avoid internal organ damage, they must be a master of Bone Setting!"

Guo Ximin was silent for a moment, recalling that the nurse had told him, before the patient was brought in by the hospital's ambulance, they had stayed at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital for some time, where external injuries were treated.

Could it be the bone setting was done by their hospital's staff?

"Zhang, if the person you mention exists, it must be the orthopedic director at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital." Guo Ximin said.

Lu Jiu TCM Hospital?

Zhang Zhuangzhuang had heard of this hospital.

It is a newly built Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Jianghan City.

The name Lu Jiu was familiar to him, or rather, it was familiar to anyone in the medical system.

As a somewhat famous TCM doctor in Jianghan City, many chief physicians from their hospital have gone to Lu Jiu for treatment and speak highly of him.

Especially Director Feng from the gastroenterology department, who frequently recommends patients to the hospital where Lu Jiu works.

"No wonder the reputation of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital is so high recently, apart from Lu Jiu, they have other talented individuals!" Zhang Zhuangzhuang exclaimed with admiration.

As a doctor who has studied orthopedics for over twenty years, he knew how difficult Bone Setting was.

A TCM hospital with such practitioners like Lu Jiu Hospital has limitless potential!
