However, they were also worried that Su Jing might be only trying to make money and using a delaying tactic, saying nicely now that he would try his best to cure him to gain a lot of money from them before saying that there was actually no possibility of a cure at a later date.
“To be honest with you, I am researching a brand-new treatment method that has a decent chance of curing it, but I have not used it before, so I cannot guarantee anything,” Su Jing said.
“Not used before? Does that mean my father is being used as a test subject?” The young woman’s eyebrows raised instantly.
“Dr. Su, you are going too far,” The young man also spoke with an angry expression on his face.
“Xiaohao, Xiaodie, calm down.” At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in the wheelchair spoke up. The only things he could move were his eyes and mouth, and it was difficult to speak, so he seldom spoke and couldn’t pronounce his words clearly.
He said with some difficulty, “ALS is already acknowledged as an incurable disease, only doctors like Dr. Su would dare to say that there is a glimmer of hope and still a chance of survival. Do you still want a one hundred percent success rate? I, in my current state, am not going to live long anyway. Why not take this chance? Before I die, if I can contribute to overcoming this disease then it would be worth it even if I die. It’s better than waiting to die like this.”
This middle-aged man, even though he was ravaged by this disease to this extent, could still remain so calm and have such composure. This made Su Jing nod in admiration thinking that there is really no limit to people’s willpower.
“Dr. Su, don’t mind their words. I agree to it myself, please help me treat it. And I won’t blame you if you can’t cure it,” The middle-aged man said decisively.
“Hold on,” The young man suddenly said, and seeing that the middle-aged man was staring at him, he said, “Dad, I understand your feelings and I sympathize with you. But we must also consider for ourselves. How can we let you try such an uncertain treatment? What if something goes wrong? Of course, I’m not stopping you, I have a foolproof plan.”
“What foolproof plan?” The middle-aged man asked.
“I’ll bring over a few other patients with ALS, and Mr. Su can treat them first. If they are cured successfully, then he can treat my father,” The young man said.
Su Jing narrowed his eyes and he remained silent for a moment before saying, “Okay, I accept but there are two conditions. First, the patients you bring must agree on their own, and they cannot be forced in any way, shape, or form. Second, with the multiple patients you bring, I will expend multiple times energy and medicine. I will charge for the number of patients I cure. One billion for each, the more patients cured, the more billions you will spend here.”
“No problem,” The young man nodded, and the middle-aged man did not speak, which should be considered an agreement.
“Deal.” Su Jing shook hands with the young man. Actually, having more patients to try the treatment was a good thing, as he didn’t have much confidence without any prior experience.
They didn’t plan to carry out the treatment with unknown treatment for the time being. However, they stayed in Kangfeng Hospital for care and arranged a room for the middle-aged man.
After that, Lu Qinming asked Su Jing worriedly, “A’Jing, are you really going to try to overcome this incurable anorexia? Do you know that this is a global problem?”
“I know, so success or failure hinges on this one move. I am going to need your help from now on,” Su Jing said as he took out a book from the drawer.
It was newly bound and had “Medical classics” written in large letters on the cover. Lu Qinming was surprised when he saw it. It seemed to be a copy of the Eastern Han Dynasty Medical Classics.
…
“Is this a copy of Eastern Han Medical classics?” Lu Qinming was taken aback.
“Yes.” Su Jing nodded.
“What are you doing with it now?” Lu Qinming asked curiously.
“Of course, it’s for research. Haven’t you been wanting to study it?” Su Jing smiled and opened the Medical Classics. He seemed to know the book inside out and quickly turned to a certain page he was looking for.
Lu Qinming looked over suspiciously, and after reading one or two lines, his eyes gradually began to widen, and his breathing began to become short: “This… is this the way to treat people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)?”
What is written above is not Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), but “Frozen Sickness”, but as far as the symptoms are concerned, both Frozen Sickness and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), it is exactly the same.
It might be the same disease, just with a different name. However, isn’t this “Medical Classics of the Eastern Han Dynasty” from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
At that time, they could treat people with gradual freezing. This should be absolutely impossible, right?
Actually, when Su Jing saw this page for the first time, he was also shocked.
Although other difficult medical conditions could be treated with modern medical technology and the patient would be able to recover with time but ALS was considered incurable on Earth.
But if this is really the cure then it would be nothing short of a miracle but it should be impossible.
However, Su Jing knew that the medical classics did not actually come from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but from the “The Immortal Gourd” universe, so he trusted it more and did not think it was nonsense.
After all, in that world of immortals and cultivators, immortal cultivators seek sought immortality and even a medicinal pill could extend one’s life by hundreds of years.
With some powerful medicinal pills, people could even be brought back from the dead. ALS was nothing compared to that.
“This treatment method can’t possibly be effective, can it?” Lu Qinming felt that it was too childish for Su Jing to try to treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with a book from the Eastern Han dynasty, it was too naive.
How could medical practices from the end of the Eastern Han dynasty cure Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)? The word uncurable disease is not just for show.
