Tears welled up in Laura’s eyes. "Little Divine Doctor, can I stand up again? Even if I need crutches, I want to stand."
"As long as you trust me, I can make you stand. But you must follow my medical advice," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.
"Yes, yes." Laura looked like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood. "Little Divine Doctor, tell me, what must I do?"
Zhu Yanyi explained, "I will now tell you my treatment plan. Your paralysis comes from a broken spine. You know this. But right now, the most urgent thing is to restore vitality to your limbs. Because you haven’t moved them and have been in bed for so long, they have shrunk. We must restore their function first.
Then, I will perform surgery to reconnect your spine. Finally, you will undergo rehabilitation. Following this process, you will need to stay in our Huaxia hospital for at least three months. Is your visa okay?"
"No problem. My visa is for one year," Mrs. O’Phie said seriously.
"Good, then there is no problem. Now, I will use massage techniques to restore your limbs. This process will take about half a month. Besides my massages, if you have time, Madam, you can also massage Laura." Zhu Yanyi spoke while demonstrating how to massage.
"This massage isn’t just any random rubbing. It requires specific positions. Madam, remember the spots I press. Generally, massage these areas." Zhu Yanyi began to introduce the detailed massage techniques to Mrs. O’Phie.
Mrs. O’Phie memorized the techniques and nodded seriously. "Okay, I have remembered."
Zhu Yanyi massaged Laura for about forty minutes before stopping. "Do not massage one spot for more than ten minutes. Rotate the massage on the limbs, but do not exceed forty minutes in total. The interval between each massage session should not be less than one hour."
"Why? Isn’t long-term massage good?" Mrs. O’Phie asked curiously.
"Massage is to unblock the meridians. Long-term massage can cause blood flow in the meridians to become too fast suddenly, which may injure the meridians. That is why I said this," Zhu Yanyi explained seriously.
Mrs. O’Phie listened carefully, recorded everything Zhu Yanyi said, and then organized the notes.
Zhu Yanyi watched until it was done, then took her medical box and left the ward.
Back in her practice chamber, she first wrote prescriptions for Eddie and Laura. After finishing, she asked her assistant, Qin Tianxiang, to prepare the medicine.
Yes, because of Zhu Yanyi’s situation, Gu Jingtian had specially arranged an assistant position for her. Considering Zhu Yanyi’s safety, Qin Tianxiang was temporarily assigned to this role.
Zhu Yanyi then began to think about how to treat these patients.
There were three patients. Linda’s condition seemed the lightest, but it was actually not light. A nerve in Linda’s retina was broken. Connecting it required considerable skill.
Of course, with her spiritual power, such surgery was very easy for Zhu Yanyi to complete. It just required more energy.
"Little Divine Doctor, Little Divine Doctor." Chief rushed in, holding a report, his eyes full of joy. "Little Divine Doctor, you were right. Linda really has a broken nerve."
Zhu Yanyi said helplessly, "My judgment is never wrong. I asked you to check only so you could confirm the situation yourselves."
Seeing Chief so excited, Zhu Yanyi was a bit puzzled. "Why are you so excited?"
Chief said seriously, "How could I not be excited? It is simply incredible." Machines had missed this before, but she diagnosed it just by taking a pulse. Huaxia medicine was truly magical.
Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "You came to seek medical help because of my skills, so there is nothing to be surprised about."
Chief bowed deeply to Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, I feel ashamed for not trusting you earlier. I apologize."
Zhu Yanyi waved her hand slightly. "Since I promised to treat you, I will not go back on my word. You do not need to feel ashamed."
Then Zhu Yanyi said, "Linda’s overall condition is good. However, I need to observe her for three days. After three days, I will decide when to operate."
"Okay, we will listen to the Little Divine Doctor in everything." Chief nodded very seriously this time.
After Chief left, Zhu Yanyi leaned back, pondered for a moment, and then continued her work. Although she had improved the physical energy powder, it needed further refinement. Zhu Yanyi hoped everyone in Huaxia could eat the physical energy powder. That was her wish.
Qin Tianxiang brought nurses and the decocted medicine for Zhu Yanyi to check. Zhu Yanyi smelled it, dipped her finger in, and tasted a little. Then she took a test tube, filled it with a sample, and let the nurses deliver the medicine to the respective patients.
After seeing the medicine sent, Zhu Yanyi went to visit Zhu Xinfu.
Zhu Xinfu’s recovery was going well. Zhu Yanyi entered and saw Zhu Shunyao there. She smiled. "Has Grandma gone to rest?"
"Yes." Zhu Shunyao nodded, then said, "Are you here to take your grandfather’s pulse?"
"Yes. I will check again. If Grandfather’s stomach and intestines have recovered enough, he can start eating liquid food." Although nutrient solution was good, Zhu Yanyi preferred food therapy.
Zhu Shunyao smiled beside her. "That is good." Then he added, "Little Yan should be back, right?"
"Yes. She said she would return tonight. You will see her tomorrow." Zhu Yanyi answered after carefully taking Zhu Xinfu’s pulse. "Father misses Aohan."
"Why would I miss her? I am thinking that when she comes, she can supervise you, so you won’t be busy until you are dizzy every day." Zhu Shunyao glared at Zhu Yanyi with dissatisfaction.
Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue and then laughed. "I am not busy until I am dizzy. Father is teasing me again."
Then Zhu Yanyi said to Zhu Xinfu, "Grandfather’s stomach and intestines have recovered well. Tomorrow is the last day for nutrient injections. The day after tomorrow, you can start eating some liquids, like soup and porridge. Only after the stomach and intestines’ motility fully recovers can you eat other foods."
Hearing this, Zhu Shunyao clapped his hands. "Great. Father, did you hear? You can eat food."
Zhu Xinfu’s face was full of gentle smiles. He nodded. His heart was also filled with hope.
She deeply understood Zhu Yanyi’s medical skills. She knew how broken her body was, but with Zhu Yanyi’s careful conditioning, she could clearly feel her body slowly improving.
