Zou Yuanquan wanted to reason with her and use the opportunity to explain that he didn’t fail at curing Lin Jiayu; Lin Jiayu simply lied.

But, Yu Gangan’s posture told him she didn’t want to talk to him. This made Zou Yuanquan clench his fists. It was like he was surrounded by cotton, but he was powerless against it.

He scoffed, “Don’t assume that just because you studied medicine for a few years and treated a few people that you’re invincible.”

Yu Gangan continued to smile slightly, “Chinese medicine doesn’t treat people in the same way as Western medicine. One good example is the treatment of the cold. In Western medicine, even those that don’t understand medicine know which medicine to take. But, when it comes to Chinese medicine, they may know the herbs, but they won’t touch it recklessly. After all, Chinese medicine focuses on a person’s Yin and Yang, as well as their Five Elements. Different people with different constitutions require different herbs. That’s why Chinese medicine does not have a standard prescription; one illness may have a few different prescriptions. Why does miracle doctor Zou think I’m being arrogant?”

Zou Yuanquan was rendered speechless.

“The patient’s vision became blurry after experiencing a car accident, so the natural reaction is to assume that there is something wrong with her brain or there is an injury somewhere on the body. Many eye problems are indeed related to the liver and kidneys. The liver opens the eyes. In other words, blood from the liver and kidneys as well as the Yin from these two organs nourishes the eyes; they could be considered as the foundation of vision. But, you’ve already checked her pulse, so you should know that there’s nothing wrong with her liver or kidneys.”

“Reading the pulse isn’t 100% accurate.”

“You may not be accurate, but that doesn’t mean others aren’t accurate.”

These words choked Zou Yuanquan a little.

Of course, the happiest person in the room was Jian Weiwei. “Sister-in-law, do you really think I’m fine? Will my eyes recover soon?” she asked happily.

“Do you feel cold in the morning and hot at night? And do you often kick off your blankets in your sleep?” Yu Gangan asked.

Jian Weiwei nodded, “Yes.”

“This is a heat problem. Your heat is external, not internal, but due to your cold physical constitution, your body is cold during the day so most doctors cannot detect it. As long as we lower your heat, you should be fine...”

Before Yu Gangan finished speaking, Zou Yuanquan cut in, “The patient has no signs of a heat problem.”

Yu Gangan ignored him and said to the Jian Family, “The hot air in this room is directed at the bed. When lying down, it aims directly at one’s feet. Due to the car accident, it must have been a long time since you’ve left the house. As you know, even when we spend too long in a heated room, our eyes begin to feel uncomfortable.”

A problem like this was indeed hard for a doctor of Western medicine to detect. Even experienced pulse-reading Chinese physicians could miss it due to Jian Weiwei’s physical constitution.

If one didn’t check the pulse carefully and consider her physical constitution as well, it was impossible to discover anything obvious.

Yu Gangan picked up Jian Weiwei’s eye drops that were sitting at the head of the bed.

“This imported, cooling eye drop is also an issue. It is not suitable for your symptoms. It gives temporary relief, but the condition is worsened afterward, causing your eyes to become more and more blurred. Do not use eye drops casually. Don’t just use it because it is recommended. Something that suits others may not be suitable for you.”

“In that case, how are we supposed to treat it?” Elder Jian asked.

Yu Gangan opened her medicine chest and retrieved some medicine from inside. She then looked at them and said, “I happen to have this in my medicine chest. Boil two ounces of dandelion with one liter of water and drink it. Don’t worry, you will recover quickly.”
