The silver-haired old man was the Chinese medicine master, Ge Jun. His request for a meeting was rejected by Xia Ruofei, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he became more interested in Xia Ruofei.
Just now, Ge Jun had casually eaten dinner in Professor Chen's office, so he simply went to the intensive care unit to wait.
When Xia Ruofei and Fang Liyun came out together, Ge Jun did not disturb them. Instead, he waited for Xia Ruofei to send Fang Liyun and Song Wei into the elevator and return to the intensive care unit. Then, Ge Jun came over to talk to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei's mind was full of thoughts about how to safely investigate Song Qiming's sea of consciousness. He could not help but frown slightly when he was suddenly blocked.
However, the silver-haired old man in front of him was very old and his attitude was very polite. Xia Ruofei could not be cold to him, so he just nodded slightly and said, "I'm Xia Ruofei. Sir, what can I do for you?"
With a kind smile on his face, Ge Jun said, "Mr. Xia, let me introduce myself. My name is Ge Jun, and I work in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing …"
Xia Ruofei immediately understood. It turned out that the old man in front of him was Ge Jun, the master of traditional Chinese medicine that Professor Chen had mentioned! Working in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing … This old man was also low-key. He provided health care services for the high-level leaders in Beijing, so he was definitely a national treasure.
However, the old man was really persistent! Xia Ruofei had already declined, but he still directly came here to intercept him … Xia Ruofei could not help but feel a little helpless.
He did not know why this Chinese medicine master was so interested in him, so he could only laugh and say, "So it's Mr. Ge. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! "
"Haha! I'll just call you Little Xia, is that alright? "Ge Jun acted like they were close.
What could Xia Ruofei say?
He could only nod and say, "Of course! I just don't know what you want from me, Mr. Ge. "
Ge Jun said with a smile, "Xia, I accidentally saw your acupuncture technique in the afternoon, and I think it's not simple! I was just excited to see you … so I took the liberty to come here and talk to you … "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Ge, you're a master of traditional Chinese medicine. My acupuncture technique is not worthy of your attention … Moreover, one of my elders is still in the intensive care unit, and I need to go in to take care of him... so I don't have extra energy, I'm sorry …"
Ge Jun immediately said, he said, "I'll go in and have a look with you. Xiao Xia, I have some knowledge in the treatment of external injuries in Chinese medicine. Maybe I can help! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He still couldn't shake her off …
However, the person in front of him was a highly respected Chinese Medicine Master. Moreover, his attitude was very amiable from beginning to end. As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face. Xia Ruofei did not want to forcefully reject him and could only reluctantly nod.
Xia Ruofei originally wanted to use the night to study how to safely investigate Song Qiming's mind, but it seemed that he could not do it for the time being. He had to send this old man away first.
Xia Ruofei and Ge Jun successfully entered the intensive care unit.
When they came to Song Qiming's ward, Professor Chen was patrolling with the doctor on duty. At this moment, they were checking on Song Qiming's condition.
Seeing someone come in, Professor Chen looked up and saw Ge Jun coming in with Xia Ruofei. He quickly straightened up and greeted them, saying, "Uncle Ge, why are you here?"
Xia Ruofei looked at Professor Chen speechlessly and did not say anything.
Ge Jun said with a smile, "I came in with Xia to take a look! Chen, is this the patient? How is his condition? "
Professor Chen's face became a little serious, and he said, "Uncle Ge, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do … I just checked some of his reflexes, and it's basically the same as a few hours ago. I'm afraid … We can say that he's brain dead …"
Professor Chen also knew that saying these words in front of Xia Ruofei might hurt his self-esteem, but Ge Jun asked him personally. Professor Chen's strict professionalism made him unable to say anything.
In Professor Chen's opinion, Song Qiming's condition was irreversible. The only reason he was still breathing and heartbeat was that he was being maintained by equipment such as the ventilator. This was a waste of medical resources, and there was no other meaning to it.
For the patient, this was also an inhumane torture. Although the patient could no longer feel it, this was the objective situation.
If Fang Liyun heard Professor Chen's words, she would probably faint.
Xia Ruofei clearly said that Song Qiming's life was no longer in danger, and that he was just temporarily unconscious. Why did Professor Chen come to a completely different conclusion?
Professor Chen was an authoritative expert in neurosurgery. Was his words more convincing than Xia Ruofei's? Anyone who encountered such a situation would feel a little nervous.
Ge Jun looked at Xia Ruofei with some surprise, then looked at Song Qiming on the bed and said, "Can I go over and take a look?"
His question was obviously directed at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei did not agree with Professor Chen's conclusion. Of course, he did not doubt Professor Chen's professionalism, but if Song Qiming's condition was really related to his soul, Professor Chen would not be able to tell the difference between this condition and brain death. Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not take Professor Chen's conclusion to heart.
At the same time, he did not think that Ge Jun would be able to tell anything. After all, this was not within the scope of traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei readily nodded and said, "Of course, no problem!"
Ge Jun nodded and walked to the bed. Then, he skillfully put his fingers on Song Qiming's wrist and closed his eyes slightly.
When the doctor on duty saw a Chinese medicine doctor taking someone's pulse in the ICU, she suddenly felt that it was very ridiculous. However, this Chinese medicine doctor was Professor Chen's elder. As an ordinary doctor who was many levels lower than Professor Chen, she naturally did not dare to say anything. She just watched quietly.
After a long time, Ge Jun opened his eyes. He was not in a hurry to say his conclusion. Instead, he asked with interest, "Xiao Xia, what do you think? I think you should disagree with Xiao Chen's judgment, right? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Of course! Otherwise, wouldn't what I do be meaningless? Obviously, Uncle Song is not in a state of brain death. I'm very sure. "
Professor Chen could not help but raise his eyebrows. If Xia Ruofei's words were spread out, it would be quite a big blow to him.
It must be known that the announcement of death was a very strict and cautious matter. Even if it was an ordinary person, it would require a very strict procedure to declare him dead, let alone a senior cadre like Song Qiming.
It was a big mistake to declare a person who was not in a state of brain death. If the patient died after the extubation, who would be responsible for it? Strictly speaking, the doctor who made this conclusion was killing someone!
However, before Professor Chen could refute, Ge Jun said with a smile, "I also agree with your conclusion!"
"Uncle Ge!" Professor Chen was shocked and could not help but cry out, "Uncle Ge, you can't say this casually …"
Ge Jun smiled and waved his hand. "Xiao Chen, calm down … Xiao Xia and I made our judgment from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. The patient's vitality is very strong. If he wasn't unconscious, he would be no different from a healthy person. I don't think he's in a state of brain death …"
As a National Healer, Ge Jun had come in contact with countless cases, and there was no lack of cases of brain death. So he could easily tell that Song Qiming's state was different from all the other cases of brain death that he had dealt with.
After hearing Ge Jun's words, Xia Ruofei looked at him in a new light.
From the perspective of a cultivator, it wasn't hard to understand why the patient would fall into a coma due to the damage to his soul. But from a medical perspective, it was inevitable that Professor Chen would make a different conclusion. As a TCM Master, Ge Jun was indeed skilled to be able to tell the difference between Song Qiming and a brain death patient in such a short period of time.
Professor Chen was left speechless. It wasn't that he didn't want to refute, but he couldn't. Meridians, acupoints, Yin and Yang, vitality … These terms were common in TCM, but they were difficult to explain in western medicine. This was also the reason why TCM was treated as a witch doctor for a long time.
Furthermore, Ge Jun was Professor Chen's elder, so Professor Chen couldn't argue with Ge Jun like he usually did.
Ge Jun smiled and said to Xia Ruofei, "Xiao Xia, if I've guessed correctly, the reason why you performed acupuncture on the patient was to seal his vitality, right?"
Although Ge Jun had only seen the process of removing the needles, it was easy for him to deduce the effect of this acupuncture with his TCM skills.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That's more or less the case. Also, I hope to use acupuncture to stabilize the patient's brain injury."
Professor Chen couldn't help but feel speechless. Before, it was only Xia Ruofei who was doing what seemed to be a futile effort. But now, even Ge Jun was on Xia Ruofei's side. It seemed that it was impossible to declare brain death according to the procedure for the time being.
Professor Chen thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Ge, Mr. Xia, you guys talk. I have to go to the next ward!"
Ge Jun waved his hand and said, "Go ahead! Don't worry about us … I'll talk with Xiao Xia here for a while! "
"Okay!"
Professor Chen walked out with the doctor on duty and went to the next ward.
Ge Jun said with a hint of enthusiasm, "Xiao Xia, your acupuncture technique is amazing. You can control such a serious injury. I'm ashamed of my inferiority!"
"You're flattering me," Xia Ruofei said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Ge Jun then said, "Xiao Xia, may I ask, the acupuncture technique you used this afternoon … was it the Moyun Six Needles?"
