The peculiar name of this disease, combined with the word “Bachelorette,” which held a special meaning, made everyone’s gaze toward Leo fill with uncontrollable amusement. However, Miss Macadam didn’t quite get it and asked, puzzled, “What kind of disease is this?”
“If I’m not mistaken, do you often feel restless when you sleep at night, as if there’s a fire burning inside you, leading to frequent insomnia?” Leo asked.
Miss Macadam nodded.
Leo continued, “Your condition is due to an excessive release of sex hormones, leading to an increase in gonadotropin. In professional Chinese medicine terms, your body is in an imbalance of yin and yang, which requires proper release and herbal remedies.”
Though Leo spoke with expertise, Miss Macadam grew more confused. She furrowed her brow and said, “Can you please speak in plain language? I don’t understand these terms.”
Leo sighed and said, “Alright, let me put it more straightforwardly. You should find a boyfriend, preferably live together as soon as possible, to remedy the excess of yin in your body. Do you understand now?”
“Ha-ha-ha…”
The doctors and nurses around couldn’t help but laugh. Even the usually aloof Rosemary couldn’t contain her laughter, giving Leo an amused glare, inwardly calling him a comical rogue.
Now, even if Miss Macadam was somewhat naive, she understood what he meant. Her face turned beet red instantly, her eyes flaring with an angry fire as she exclaimed, “You… you’re talking nonsense!”
Leo restrained his amusement, trying to maintain a serious tone. “As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I am responsible for everything I say. Your condition is still in its early stages, and the impact on your body isn’t too significant yet. If left untreated, it could lead to symptoms like confusion, mental fog, and even schizophrenia.”
Leo’s words left Miss Macadam feeling uneasy. She knew her own body well and understood her strong physical desires. However, since she didn’t have a boyfriend, she had been taking matters into her own hands. She had never thought it could lead to an illness.
“What if you still doubt what I’ve said? You can press your lower abdomen’s ‘Lower Dantian’ acupoint now,” Leo suggested, pointing to where it was located on the body.
Miss Macadam, somewhat skeptical, reached out and pressed the ‘Lower Dantian’ acupoint.
Instantly, the pain made her gasp for breath.
“Is it very painful? The ‘Lower Dantian’ is the source of your excessive yang energy,” Leo explained.
Miss Macadam’s face paled, unable to doubt Leo’s words any longer. Her voice trembled as she asked, “So, what should I do? Is there a treatment?”
“As I mentioned earlier, your symptoms are still in the early stages. All you need to do is find a boyfriend to address your physical needs, combined with herbal remedies. Your condition will improve quickly,” Leo reassured her.
After Leo handed her a prescription, Miss Macadam received it with her hand, not knowing what to say, her face turning red.
“Do you now believe in my medical skills, Miss Macadam? Can I treat Mr. Jayce?” Leo asked.
Miss Macadam, impressed by Leo, no longer had any objections. After speaking to Jayce for a few moments, she pushed him back into the emergency room.
After Jayce lay down on the hospital bed, Leo turned to the old doctor, Oscar Occam, and asked, “Dr. Occam, do you have acupuncture silver needles in your medical kit?”
“I do.” Dr. Occam opened the medical kit and handed a set of silver needles to Leo.
Leo took the silver needles and sat down by Jayce’s bedside, carefully examining his pulse.
Leo noticed that the muscles in Jayce’s neck and arms exhibited irregular, intermittent spasms.
This strange phenomenon furrowed Leo’s brow.
He extended a finger and gently tapped on the location where the muscle spasms occurred.
“Ah…”
Jayce suddenly let out a painful scream, as if he had been stabbed with a knife.
Seeing this scene, the doctors and nurses around couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Leo’s expression became even more serious as he said, “I didn’t expect Mr. Jayce’s condition to be so severe.”
“Dr. Bloomer, what’s happening?” Dr. Mond couldn’t understand why Jayce had such an intense reaction. After all, a person who had been awake for days and nights couldn’t possibly be so sensitive to external stimuli.
Leo didn’t answer her question but continued to examine Jayce’s pulse, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Although the doctors around were anxious, they didn’t dare to disturb Leo.
Rosemary, who was standing by, tightly clenched her hands, praying fervently that Leo could cure Jayce.
Inside the emergency room, the atmosphere was tense, and all eyes were fixed on Leo’s face.
As time passed, beads of sweat began to appear on Leo’s forehead.
The reason why Leo took so long to examine Jayce’s pulse was that he was probing something unusual.
Jayce’s pulse was strange. It had no regular rhythm, sometimes slow, sometimes rapid, sometimes thin, and sometimes deep-completely unpredictable.
It was so bizarre. How could such a pulse pattern appear with these symptoms?
“I see!” Leo suddenly brightened, withdrawing his right hand and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The people in the emergency room noticed Leo’s reaction and their faces lit up with hope.
“Dr. Bloomer, did you figure out the cause?” Dr. Occam’s old face was filled with excitement.
Leo glanced at him and nodded. “At first, I thought Mr. Jayce’s condition was due to excessive yang energy and a lack of yin, which resulted from the liver and kidneys not harmonizing. However, as I delved deeper into examining his pulse, I realized it wasn’t the case. It’s actually caused by liver stagnation turning into heat, and heart anxiety, which led to the appearance of these strange pulse patterns.”
Leo then turned to Miss Macadam and asked, “Has Mr. Jayce been working late at night often, drinking strong coffee while working?”
Miss Macadam, with a surprised expression, quickly nodded.
Leo continued, “I believe Mr. Jayce has been under a lot of pressure lately. He often loses his temper without reason and is feeling anxious.”
“That’s right. That’s exactly what’s happening. The headquarter set new performance targets for Mr. Jayce, which has increased his stress. He’s been worried about his performance every day,” Miss Macadam confirmed.
Miss Macadam was now completely amazed, feeling like she had encountered a living deity, even though she knew Leo was a doctor.
Dr. Mond hurriedly asked, “Dr. Bloomer, is there a way to treat Mr. Jayce’s condition?”
“Of course,” Leo replied. He took out a long silver needle and, using the twirling needle technique, slowly inserted it into Jayce’s Baihui acupoint.
After inserting two-thirds of the needle’s length, Leo held it steady. If one observed closely, a faint white mist flowed into the acupoint along with the silver needle.
