My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 167 - 107: An Illness That Stumps Even Famous Doctors, Easy for King Yan to Meet, Hard for Minor Demons to Deal With
I wonder what kind of illness this woman named Qiu Jie has?
Zhou Can thought that if he could cure her leg disease, perhaps he could help her regain her confidence and no longer be pessimistic and weary of the world.
"Mr. Li..."
"Calling me Mr. Li feels so awkward, can’t you just call me Brother Lao?" Under the stimulation of alcohol, Li Lao’s face was flushed red, but his eyes were no longer as lost.
Many people become confused after getting drunk.
But Li Lao was the opposite; after drinking, he became more lucid.
This reminded Zhou Can of Li Bai’s "While all men are drunk, I alone am sober." Li Bai was often known to be stone drunk, and although everyone knew him as the Immortal Poet, they didn’t know that he was famous as a ’drunken devil’.
In many ways, Li Lao shared many similarities with Li Bai.
Both possessed dazzling talents.
Both harbored their own inner melancholy and unfulfilled ambitions.
It seemed they even shared the same fondness for alcohol.
"Brother Lao, may I ask what happened to your wife’s leg? As a doctor, I have a professional habit; when I shook hands with her just now, I felt that her hand was a bit cold, which is a sign of poor upper limb circulation."
Zhou Can asked out of genuine concern.
He just wanted to see if he had the ability to help her with her leg problem and restore her confidence in life.
"Ah! Speaking of which, it’s all my fault. A few years back, when my wife was pregnant, she was in the greatest need of companionship. At that time, my career was at its peak, having become the youngest vice president at Tianyu Interactive Company, and I was leading a team to compete with two other vice presidents for the position of president. One of the other vice presidents had powerful connections and financial backing, while the other was a company veteran with strong capabilities."
"The capabilities of both vice presidents were much stronger than mine. But I have a bad habit: the stronger my opponent is, the more spirited I become. Back then, I was determined to defeat both vice presidents and become the president."
Li Lao recounted the pinnacle of his career with a trace of light in his once lost gaze.

Just as his wife had said, his mind was indeed on his career.
Every man has grand ambitions.
Especially someone as talented as Li Lao, who yearned to make his mark in his field.
Now, he spent his days accompanying his wife, living a life akin to seclusion.
It was like locking a fierce tiger in a cage.
His heart must be yearning every moment for the day when he could return to the mountains, roar from the heights, and reclaim his former majesty, dominance, and passion.
"During that period, I couldn’t stay with my wife and take care of her. I was so busy and devoted to work that I often got days and nights mixed up, and it was common for me not to answer her calls. Eventually, after my team and I worked hard, we finally defeated the two vice presidents, and the project I led achieved the best results."
"But just when my superiors were about to talk to me about assuming the position of the company president, I received a call from the hospital. They said my wife had fainted at home, and no one had discovered it. By the time she was delivered to the hospital, she had already miscarried. She nearly lost her life and, in the end, became paralyzed in her lower limbs. At that moment, I realized I had lost the most precious thing to me."
At this point in his story, Li Lao’s face was covered with tears, and he picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Qiu Jie, too, wept silently with her head lowered.
The loss of a child and paralysis of the lower limbs, the price was too high.
"That day I made a decision; what’s the point of becoming a president without her? So, I resolutely resigned and stayed in the hospital to keep her company. During that time, she contemplated suicide many times, and my heart was filled with endless regret and guilt. Fortunately, after several years of my companionship, she never brought up suicide again and developed a bit more passion for life."
Li Lao took his wife’s hand and held it tightly.
The scene was very touching.
After allowing them to regain their composure, Zhou Can continued to ask, "From a medical standpoint, miscarriage shouldn’t lead to lower limb paralysis. Has she been to big hospitals for examinations?"
Miscarriage could lead to heavy bleeding, infection, and even potentially leave some lingering health issues.
For example, it could make it very difficult to conceive again.
But having paralysis directly resulting from a miscarriage was unheard of.
"How could we not have checked? We’ve been to all the renowned hospitals in the country. We’ve scheduled appointments with various famous doctors, and they’ve examined her, but they all say they are powerless."
This time, it was Qiu Jie who replied.
She must have already moved past the pain of losing her child.
What tormented her now was the paralysis of her lower limbs.
She probably dreamt of curing her legs.
"Paralysis generally points to a neural issue. Do you know what the diagnoses from the famous doctors were?"
Zhou Can had guessed that her illness must be difficult to treat.
Because the residents living in Jiangxin Garden definitely were not short on money.
The major hospitals in the country are powerful, and there are many well-known doctors in the field of neurology. So many doctors had examined her and declared themselves powerless. Naturally, one can imagine the difficulty of treatment must be at a 3S level.
"We’ve done all the tests that could be done: complete blood count, electrocardiogram, head CT, brain MRI, transcranial Doppler, and carotid artery ultrasound... Even saw a few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Their diagnoses are all different. Some doctors believe it was a viral infection in the nerves during the miscarriage. Some think there was damage to the nerves inside the skull. Others believe that the nerves in the lower back were damaged or severed."
"No doctor could provide a definitive diagnosis. We have tried medication, acupuncture, various rehabilitation trainings, but all to no avail."
