Soon, Xu Yuancai returned with the medicinal herbs.
His wife followed the special method Li Xu had instructed, first soaking some of the herbs in white liquor before starting a rapid decoction over a high flame.
During this time, Li Xu did not leave.
The patient was on the brink of death; she could stop breathing at any moment.
He had to personally stand guard by her bedside, constantly monitoring her condition until she was out of danger.
This was his habit, and a principle he had always followed as a doctor.
Whether his current role was as a hospital deputy director or a clinic physician, his dedication to treating patients and saving lives had never wavered.
About half an hour later, the fragrance of the medicine began to fill the air.
The decoction was ready.
Xu Yuancai's wife brought the warm medicinal liquid into the room and fed it to the old woman, one spoonful at a time.
