Chapter 143 Traditional Meets Modern
Returning to the hospital, Gabriel and Blind John hurriedly went upstairs.
When they entered the ward and saw Zoe, Gabriel's complicated and troubled mind was instantly purified and simplified.
Only concern for Zoe remained.
"Zoe, how do you feel?"
Gabriel approached the bed and squatted down.
Then, he gently held Zoe's hand.
Zoe's face was pale and she was extremely weak.
But she still managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded at Gabriel with difficulty!
Christopher bent over, his simple and honest face still filled with confusion.
Meanwhile, Dr. Louis furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat guilty as he said to Gabriel, "I've done my best. Zoe is not in any immediate danger now, but without a heart... Perhaps..."
He couldn't bring himself to say the rest.
There might be a relapse in three or five days.
At that time, even he would be powerless to change the outcome.
Gabriel's face darkened. Without even looking up, he said, "Dr. Louis, please bring me all of Zoe's medical records from the Westwood Hospital, as well as all the test results. Don't waste time with anything else!"
Dr. Louis was about to ask Gabriel why he needed the medical records.
But he bit back the words he would like to have said.
Instead, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go get them right away!"
Then, he left the ward.
After Dr. Louis left, Gabriel's expression softened again.
He turned Zoe's left hand over and placed three fingers from his right hand on her pulse, saying softly, "Zoe, close your eyes and relax!"
Now, he was the divine doctor.
While others might not be able to treat Zoe's congenital heart disease, he might have a chance.
Zoe was slightly surprised but quickly closed her eyes.
After that, Gabriel also closed his eyes and made a gesture to Blind John and Christopher behind him, signaling them not to speak.
It was very quiet!
After about five minutes.
Gabriel, who had been taking the pulse, finally opened his eyes.
But his brows were deeply furrowed.
"Gabriel, are you a doctor now?"
Feeling Gabriel's fingers leaving, Zoe also opened her eyes.
Looking at Gabriel, her eyes blinked innocently.
"You're still so clever!" Gabriel's brows relaxed, and he said with a smile, "I remembered something. I used to be a very skilled doctor. They can't treat your illness, but I can. It will also save a lot of medical expenses. Hospitals are so expensive and always rip off ordinary people!"
"Thank you, Gabriel!" Zoe said and started coughing again. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Gabriel quickly turned around and said to Blind John, "John, find some acupuncture needles quickly!"
"Understood!" Blind John turned around and quickly left.
Gabriel adjusted the blanket for Zoe and tucked her in.
Then, he whispered in Zoe's ear, "Zoe, you're very weak now, so don't talk anymore. Close your eyes and rest for a while. Be a good girl!"
Zoe stopped talking and obediently closed her eyes.
After about ten minutes,
Dr. Louis brought all of Zoe's medical records and examination results.
And Blind John also brought a set of special acupuncture long needles.
Gabriel took Zoe's medical records and carefully looked through them.
Dr. Louis was very surprised.
Before this, Gabriel had no understanding of Zoe's condition.
How did he suddenly become like a different person, looking at the medical records like an expert?
Although it was strange, he dared not interrupt Gabriel.
Whatever Gabriel did now, he could only cooperate!
Another more than ten minutes passed.
Gabriel finally finished reading all the medical records and put them down, walking over with a serious expression.
Blind John hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Taking a breath, Gabriel said, "This congenital heart disease is very difficult. The traditional treatment options can only be organ transplantation, which can at most extend the patient's life for a dozen years!"
"Anything in the body that is not one's own is not the best!"
Christopher was so anxious that he stuttered, "Then... then what should we do? Zoe... is still so young!"
Blind John muttered, "So you're saying that even if we get back the heart, it doesn't mean we can completely cure Zoe!"
Everyone's emotions were somewhat low.
They were genuinely sad!
But at this moment, Gabriel said, "There's no need to be too pessimistic. That is the treatment plan of mediocre doctors. I have another way to cure Zoe!"
Dr. Louis, who had his head down, immediately questioned, "Mr. Gabriel, saving a patient's life is not a joke. I can responsibly tell you that Zoe's condition is not an exception. Experts internationally have discussed treatment plans for this congenital heart disease, and other than organ transplantation, there really is no better way to prolong the patient's life. I'm not lying to you!"
As a doctor, what he did was a very rigorous matter.
Although he felt guilty, he had to contradict Gabriel and tell Gabriel the truth.
But Gabriel glared at Dr. Louis, snorted, and said, "The mediocre doctor I just mentioned is someone like you! Do you think I would joke about my sister's life?"
"You can't treat her because of the limitations of modern medicine, which focuses too much on replacement and neglects self-healing and repair!"
"The essence of traditional medicine is precisely the limitation of modern medicine, being able to change the overall environment of the body and promote the body's own repair!"
"The fragile part of Zoe's heart can't be replaced locally, and replacing the whole heart will inevitably have rejection side effects sooner or later!"
"So in order to completely cure Zoe, we must combine modern and traditional medicine. Only then can we truly treat this disease and let Zoe return to a normal person, no longer worrying about her heart!"
Dr. Louis was suddenly speechless.
He only had a superficial understanding of traditional medicine and wasn't proficient in it.
These years, he only knew how to perform surgery on patients with a scalpel.
So he couldn't argue with Gabriel's words.
But it sounded somewhat reasonable.
Blind John excitedly said, "Are you saying you can treat her?"
Gabriel nodded. "Of course. In this world, when it comes to combining traditional and modern medicine to the extreme, I consider myself the best, and no one dares to claim second place!"
"Today, the surgery for Zoe didn't happen, but it's actually a blessing in disguise!"
"If we had really replaced her heart, I would have been powerless, and Zoe's life would definitely not have lasted past thirty!"
"Now let me treat her. Once successful, Zoe can fully recover!"
Blind John was both happy and anxious. "Then don't wait. Please treat Zoe quickly!"
Pausing for a moment, Gabriel slightly furrowed his brow. "My treatment plan is very simple. An extremely precise surgery combined with the assistance of traditional medicine will complement each other and have miraculous effects!"
"But, I currently need a very rare traditional medicinal ingredient to stimulate Zoe's heart's self- repair. Without this medicinal ingredient, the surgery can't proceed!"
"What kind of traditional medicinal ingredient?" Blind John asked.
Gabriel narrowed his eyes before speaking, "Ice Ganoderma!"
Dr. Louis seemed to have thought about something and exclaimed, "Do you mean the snow mountain plant that has the ability to reverse blood, known as the priceless treasure of traditional herbal medicine, Ice Ganoderma?"
"Exactly!" Gabriel nodded...
