Physician’s Odyssey

Dozens of men wearing black suits, sunglasses and earphones stood at the door of Matil's mansion, and after Su Tao and Justin appeared, they quickly surrounded them.

The wound on Justin's body has been treated by Su Tao in the car. His blood loss was serious, so his complexion was ugly, as if he had been pasted by a pair of dog skin plaster.

After Su Tao and Justin entered the residence, the special police from Tshwane left, but the guards of the Huaxia Embassy still stayed outside. They were notified by their superiors to send Su Tao back to the hotel safely.

After entering the living room, Justin suddenly knelt down in front of Martial, crying bitterly, "Sir, they all sacrificed."

Those people led by Justin were the most trusted confidants around Martial. Their death in this attack was a huge loss for Martial.

"I won't let them die in vain. Although Huntelaar acted concealedly, his crimes could not deceive the eyes of the people of the whole country. I will definitely let his bad behavior be made public and let him be punished as he deserves." Tears flickered in his eyes, and he lifted Justin, who was wounded all over, and comforted him: "All the sins belong to me. You have worked hard, so hurry up and rest."

Justin wiped away the tears, and said solemnly: "I brought expert Su, I can still hold on! His medical skills are amazing, and he will surely be able to create miracles."

Just an hour ago, Justin would never say such a thing, but Su Tao had already conquered himself with magical medical skills just now.Su Tao used a silver needle to achieve the anesthesia effect, and then took out the bullet from his body. The whole process took less than five minutes without any pain, and the ointment Su Tao applied to him was also very magical. Justin found that the muscles on the wound were The feeling of being bitten by ants means that the scab has begun to heal.

Justin explained to Martial how Su Tao handled his injury in detail. Martial trusted Justin very much, took a serious look at Su Tao, and said: "Then please help me treat the illness."

Justin insisted on staying here because he needed to act as an interpreter. He knew that Su Tao did not understand English or Afrikaans.

He sincerely asked: "Expert Su, please be sure to cure Vice President Martial's illness. His health affects the safety of the entire South African political arena. You have already seen the situation today. If he is seriously ill, he Tshwane, Johannesburg and other cities will have similar disasters every day, and countless civilians will be confined to chaos and war."

Su Tao still respects Justin. Just now, Justin escorted himself to protect himself. This kind of spirit still touched him, "Don't worry, I have experienced a life and death together with you. Idioms to describe us. We are brothers in need, and we will definitely try our best to treat Mr. Martial. But Mr. Martial’s condition is more complicated, and I am not 100% sure."

Seeing Su Tao's words, Justin's expression became nervous and asked eagerly: "What is the disease with Mr. Martial?"

Su Tao shook his head, sighed, and said: "No accident, Mr. Martial should have an unknown parasite in his body. This kind of parasite is very hidden and has never appeared before, so modern medicine does not Any way of rescue."

Diseases caused by parasites have afflicted humans for thousands of years and have always been an important global health problem.South Africa is also a place where parasitic diseases occur frequently. The more famous ones are "beaver fever", which is caused by a parasite called Giardia lansii. After infection, stomach cramps, abnormal vomiting, and exhaustion may occur.

The parasites in Matil are more stubborn and concealed than Giardia lamblia. Although they are not fatal for the time being, they will slowly torture Matil to death.

"Do you have a solution?" Justin asked worriedly.

"I will take a comprehensive look first before I can give you an answer!" Su Tao said calmly.

Justin asked Martial to do it, and Su Tao gave him a pulse check, and then looked at his tongue coating and other physical symptoms.

It is still a bit difficult to see Martial, because he is a black man, you can't understand his complexion at all, you have to refer to the results of the pulse diagnosis.

"Please help me ask Mr. Martial how he feels!" Su Tao said solemnly.

"A few months ago, when I came back from a field trip, I felt unwell. At first I thought it was a cold, so I took some cold medicine, but it didn't work. I felt flustered, confused, restless, and then vomited. I used to have symptoms of vomiting. I have found a lot of doctors. They judged me as if there were parasites in my body, so they gave me some drugs to kill the parasites, but it didn’t work. Later, those experts thought that I had a relatively rare weird. I can’t find any cause for the illness, so I need to continue research and analysis.” Martial said quickly.

He is full of helplessness and unwillingness. He can accept death, but he cannot accept this unclear way of dying. He still has a lot to do, and his great dream is not fulfilled. How can he fall here?

Su Tao has seen Martial's case, and all the experts treat Martial with Western medicine to treat parasites. Commonly used anthelmintic drugs include mebendazole, albendazole, and thiabendazole.

Different parasites use different deworming drugs.Taking a lot of deworming drugs will also have a negative effect on the body's immune system, so after Martial's immune system declines, unknown parasites in the body become more active, causing the vicious circle today.

Parasitic diseases are very difficult to treat clinically in Western medicine, so now the medical profession will give high awards to physicians who can solve parasitic diseases. Ms. Tu Youyou, the winner of the China Nobel Prize in Medicine, discovered and refined artemisinin It was the solution to malaria, which was widely recognized by the international medical community.

In fact, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, all parasitic diseases are classified as "worm accumulation".

Insect accumulation is mostly caused by inadvertent diet, unhealthy eating of raw and cold melons and fruits, and unclean food.

Insect accumulation is common with symptoms such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, and yellowish-looking face; in severe cases, there may be Jueni, abdominal distension, vomiting, and even Gu disease.

Su Tao has some treatment plans for how to treat Martial's disease, but now in South Africa, many herbal medicines cannot be found quickly. If they want to be effective quickly, they have to find another way.

Thinking of this, Su Tao and Justin said: "Please find a bed for Mr. Martial, then let him lie down, I will acupuncture for him."

Justin knew that acupuncture and moxibustion was the unique skill of Chinese medicine, so he arranged something quickly. Martial lay on the bed, closed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and looked a little nervous.

Su Tao whispered: "You tell Mr. Martial that if he is tired, he can sleep."

Martial was tortured by the illness and hadn't slept for a long time. Hearing Justin's translation, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It would be great if he could really fall asleep.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that every disease has one needle. Acupuncture can be used to treat all kinds of diseases. There are also acupuncture points for the treatment of worm accumulation, including Dabai, Knee, Sisu, Gallbladder, Yingxiang, Juque, Xinbu, Daheng, and Gui Eyes and so on.

Su Tao did not use acupuncture at these acupuncture points for Matil, but used acupuncture to prick the parasites. This is not unfounded.

In "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", the method of acupuncture to cure insects is contained in "Lingshu·Jue Disease": "There are worms and mosquitoes in the intestines... If you hold it for a long time, the worm will not move, but the needle will come out."

This treatment plan, to put it simply, is to use a needle to kill parasites. Although it cannot solve the problem fundamentally, it can make the patient feel more comfortable in a short time.

Of course, not all Chinese medicine practitioners can do this. Su Tao's knowledge in Chinese medicine has been refined and enthralled in the police world. It is similar to having the ability to look inside, and you can find the location of the parasite before using this treatment. Program.

Justin was worried at first, but after Su Tao took a few shots, Martial fell asleep soundly, "Sure enough, he is a genius doctor. Mr. Martial feels very uncomfortable every night. He is often thirsty occasionally and hardly falls asleep all night. ."

The parasites in the body were stabbed by a silver needle, Martial felt comfortable, and of course he could fall asleep.

Shaking his head gently, Su Tao smiled slightly, focusing on the silver needle in his hand and Martial's body.

Martial's disease cannot be resolved by acupuncture alone. Without the cooperation of decoctions, it will relapse.Moreover, after the relapse, it will become more and more serious.This is also the reason why later generations of traditional Chinese medicine used decoctions as the mainstay for the treatment of worms, with acupuncture as the supplement.

Because of Matil's parasitic disease, it has been a long time. It took Su Tao about three or four hours until he finished acupuncture at around four in the morning.

Justin had been waiting by the side, and fell asleep several times on the way because of injuries.

"Sure." Su Tao would pull out the silver needle and wipe his forehead with a towel.

Justin woke up too, and said solemnly: "How is it now?"

Su Tao gave the prescription that he wrote to Justin, and said, "I was just killing insects, but there are still some eggs in Mr. Martial's body. When the time is right, they will grow out, so I only take decoction. Only by killing insects can Mr. Martial's disease be completely cured."

"Then how long will it take?" Justin asked anxiously.

"It will probably take three months to completely kill the parasite eggs." Su Tao explained with a smile, "However, when Mr. Martial wakes up tomorrow, he will be no different from ordinary people, and he will feel hungry. , You can arrange for someone to prepare the food that he liked most before. However, please remember that the food must be cooked at a high temperature and you cannot eat raw or cold food."

Justin nodded. He was still a little uneasy. Is the disease that has troubled Martial for so long, really cured like this?
