Chapter 283: Chapter 161: Respecting Disease? Lower Limb Injury Fatality Cases_2

It was obvious that when she was young, this middle-aged woman must have been a great beauty.

"Hello, ma’am. My name is Li Jingsheng, and I’m here to see Doctor Xu."

"Come in! I’m over here!"

Doctor Xu was sitting in the living room, but his spirits seemed not too well.

"I bought some fruits and milk for Doctor Xu, though I’m not sure if he’ll like them."

Li Jingsheng handed the items to the wife.

"No need to bring anything! Old Xu hasn’t had visitors in a long time; allowing you to come means he acknowledges you. Young man, please come in."

The wife invited him into the house.

The house was luxuriously decorated, with the latest model of curved-screen TV. The air conditioning seemed to be central, and the furniture was mainly Chinese-style, appearing quite simple and elegant.

Li Jingsheng secretly sighed, realizing the teacher was indeed wealthy!

"Teacher, are you feeling better?"

"I won’t die! It’s an old ailment, comes back once or twice every year."

Doctor Xu was never polite with him.

He spoke very casually as well.

"Young man, have some tea! Help yourself to the fruit on the table."

The wife made him a cup of tea.

"Thank you!"

Li Jingsheng accepted it with both hands and took a seat on the sofa.

He sat on a single-seater sofa.

This type is easier to manage, but when it comes to comfort, a soft leather sofa is more comfortable. Although Chinese-style sofas have cushions, the armrests are wooden, and sitting on them never feels that relaxing.

You’d worry about falling or bumping into something; with a leather sofa, you can just slouch in and become lazy. You can sit however you like.

These Chinese-style seats, whether wooden sofas, armchairs, or round chairs, always seem formal and too serious.

"What kind of illness do you have?"

"No idea. Went to People’s Hospital, Qiaobang Hospital, all checked but couldn’t find the cause. Those Western doctors just say it’s a cold."

It seemed Doctor Xu had quite a prejudice against Western medicine.

"Aren’t you on IV drips? It’s been three days; there should be some effect by now, right?"

Li Jingsheng noticed Doctor Xu looked quite pale and not in high spirits.

The common cold actually refers to a group of symptoms that usually resolve on their own in two to three days or around a week, often caused by viruses, leading to fever, cough, headache, and runny nose.

Traditional Chinese medicine differentiates colds into wind-cold and wind-heat categories, attributing them to external pathogens.

Western medicine defines a cold as an upper respiratory tract infection or influenza.
