Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 57

Everyone was shocked when they saw the mealworm.

“Fine?” Old Mrs. Graham asked, “What do you mean by fine?”

“The Graham Family will have successors now. As long as his wife is healthy, they can definitely have children within this year!” Matthew said.

“Really?” Old Mrs. Graham was overjoyed but she still couldn’t believe it.

“Mr. Larson, what… what is that?” Joseph asked as he stared at the mealworm on the ground. Not long after the mealworm fell to the floor, it slowly hardened and died.

“It’s a very rare poisonous worm who hides well in the flesh and is really hard to find. No matter whether you go through modern medical tests or open surgery, it’s quite impossible to locate inside the body. It feeds on human energy and it will only attach itself on men, ultimately causing them with the inability to bear children.”

Everybody was dumbfounded. They didn’t know that such a poisonous worm existed. Dr. Ellis couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “Since it’s impossible to find it, how did you locate it in the first place and subsequently remove it?”

Matthew replied, “This worm has a weakness. After it gets pricked, it can’t stay hidden in the flesh any longer. This is the only way to pull out this worm.” It was only then did everybody notice that there was indeed a silver needle on the worm.

“How did my son get infected?” Old Mrs. Graham asked in wonder.

“It’s usually impossible to get infected because this poisonous pest only appears in Orleans,” Matthew replied. “Has Mr. Graham been there before?”

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Graham’s eyes widened. “W-When he was nineteen, he traveled to Orleans once together with his friends… I was wondering why his girlfriend who he was on good terms with suddenly broke up with him after he returned from that trip…”

Everyone was stunned by the sudden realization. However, Dr. Ellis was still unwilling to give up. “Then… how did you know that I will insert three needles? And that he would vomit blood?”

“This worm usually hides near the blood vessels and will cause an illusion of Qi and blood blockage. Based on the twisting needle method that you have learned, you’ll definitely come up with the judgment that he has Qi and blood stagnation. The best way to treat it is with acupuncture. You are a master of the twisting needle method, so how else will you treat him other than with acupuncture? The area where the worm is located is the place where Qi and blood stagnation is the most serious. The first three pricks you insert to his body will definitely be on the LI11, BL26, and BL23 acupuncture points. Inserting needles into these three points will stimulate the worm, which will cause the blood in his body to surge and cause him to vomit blood.”

Dr. Ellis was dumbfounded because Matthew’s analysis was completely accurate. After a while, he suddenly kneeled down before him. “Mr. Larson, you really are a man of God! I’m sorry for offending you before this. Please forgive me!”

“There’s no need to be so formal!” Matthew waved his hand and said, “Your medical skills are not bad either. It’s just that you’ve never encountered a situation like this, so it’s normal for you to make mistakes.”

Hearing this, Dr. Ellis emotionally yelled, “I’ve really met an expert today!”

As for Old Mrs. Graham, she was smiling from ear to ear. She didn’t have a doubt that her son’s illness was completely cured.

“Mr. Larson, thank you so much!” Old Mrs. Graham said as she pulled out a card and handed it to Matthew. “This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it! After my son wakes up, I will definitely personally take him and kneel in front of your door to express our gratitude!”

Matthew refused a few times but in the end, Old Mrs. Graham forcefully stuffed the card into his pocket.
