Seeing Xiao Li not budge, Yang Chengxin felt immensely irritated. In his view, Xiao Li was probably also a TCM practitioner, but being so young, he couldn't possibly be anyone noteworthy.
Thus, Yang Chengxin forcefully pushed Xiao Li's shoulder. "I told you to move."
This action caused Ning Qingwan's expression to change drastically. No matter what, Xiao Li was someone she had personally invited. Treating him with such disrespect was a slap in her face.
However, Ning Qingwan saw that Xiao Li not only didn't get angry but actually stood up and moved aside, which immediately deepened her disappointment.
From the moment this Dr. Xiao entered until now, whether facing Ziying's annoyance or Yang Chengxin's shoving, he had remained as calm as still water. Either he was putting on an act of profound composure, or he was simply a weak man!
How could Ning Qingwan know that, in Xiao Li's perspective, he was only here today to treat a patient. Everyone else was insignificant!
Moreover, the reason Xiao Li stood up wasn't because he feared Yang Chengxin, but because he wanted to check the medication records beside the bed.
Watching Xiao Li give way, Yang Chengxin felt quite pleased with himself. He patted the spot where Xiao Li had been sitting and then piled on a servile smile. "Master Ge, your expertise is greatly needed."
Ge Nan strode over to the bedside with his chest puffed out, and Yang Chengxin quickly helped him with the medical kit.
Sitting down with an air of superiority, Ge Nan took out a small handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands meticulously. He then shook out his sleeves before finally placing his fingers on the patient's wrist to take her pulse.
The solemn ritual of pulse-taking silently impressed Ziying and Ning Qingwan. Truly a doctor of long-standing reputation; every step was so deliberate.
Out of professional courtesy, Ziying kindly reminded, "Master Ge, the patient experienced nearly five minutes of shock earlier. This Dr. White said it was intermittent cardiac arrest..."
"Hah, isn't it obvious? It's clearly intermittent," Ge Nan interjected dismissively.
Ziying's lips twitched slightly, her expression visibly unnatural. She hadn't noticed that at all. Could it be that these veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were all this remarkable?
Master Ge continued, "If I'm not mistaken, she initially only experienced heart pain, which lasted for about half a month before she began to suffer from syncope. After three episodes of syncope, she fell completely unconscious and has remained in that state for two months now."
"The cardiac arrests are irregular—sometimes occurring in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, but rarely at night. Moreover, after her heart resumes beating, her pulse stabilizes very quickly, which is why the root cause remains undetectable… Oh, and she suffers from cold uterus, but it's not due to childbirth. It likely stems from exposure to cold water several years ago."
"There should be a birthmark on her left chest. She likely underwent laser treatment, but it wasn't successful. Later, she probably received frequent acupuncture, which instead caused blood stasis around the birthmark, leading to occasional pain."
Ziying inhaled sharply, her eyes widening in awe. Truly worthy of being hailed as the top divine physician of the southeast—he had discerned so many issues merely by checking the pulse!
Ning Qingwan's delicate eyebrows also lifted slightly, a hint of excitement in her tone. "Master Ge, then my mother's condition…"
Yang Chengxin immediately raised his head, brimming with confidence. "Miss Ning, rest assured. When it comes to treating heart issues, if Master Ge claims to be second, no one dares claim to be first. Master Ge will surely cure your mother's illness."
Ge Nan remained silent, maintaining his composed and profound demeanor of a seasoned TCM practitioner as he continued feeling the patient's pulse.
Xiao Li, who had been flipping through the medication records nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and softly remarked, "It's clearly written in the medical record."
The record even detailed the patient's previous surgeries and when she had experienced dysmenorrhea, all documented meticulously.
Yang Chengxin's face darkened with displeasure, glaring discontentedly. "Master Ge hasn't even reviewed the medical record. He identified all these issues at a glance." He then cast a contemptuous look at Xiao Li. "Someone like you probably can't even understand a medical record."
Xiao Li narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then do you know why the laser failed to remove the birthmark on her left chest?"
Yang Chengxin instinctively retorted, "What's so strange about that? Lasers aren't omnipotent. It's perfectly normal for a birthmark not to fade!"
Xiao Li didn't argue further but instead fixed a meaningful gaze on Ge Nan. Anyone with a bit of sense could deduce that, given the patient's social status, even if ordinary laser treatment couldn't remove the birthmark, other methods would certainly have been attempted.
In other words, Xiao Li was hinting to Ge Nan that the birthmark on the patient's left chest was abnormal.
