Practicing business and practicing medicine

Famous doctors are sometimes afraid of meeting celebrities. The underlying logic is actually very simple: they are afraid of causing trouble and damaging their medical reputation.

Bian Mu is naturally no exception.

There is a saying in traditional folklore that goes, "Seventy-three or eighty-four, if the King of Hell does not take you away!", the general idea is that when a person lives to a certain age, he will face the test of life and death. Seventy-three and eighty-four Years are two unlucky "hills". Some people are prone to die at that age line.

As they get older, some people are more taboo about these two age lines. As far as Bian Mu knows, there is such a custom in many places: once the elderly in the family reach the age of seventy-three or eighty-four, they will not take the initiative for the sake of good luck. Birthday.

Regarding this point, folklore explains this. Confucius, the great Confucian master, passed away at the age of seventy-three (virtual age, in the old days); fictitious years) died that year. Out of respect for the two sages of Confucianism, and also out of respect for the generally low average life span of Chinese people in the old days, as a warning sign of old age, seventy-three and eighty-four are regarded as cultural taboo symbols. Gradually spread to this day.

In this regard, Bian Mu has his own special understanding based on the mystical principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

Back then, in the second half of the freshman year, Bian Mu used his spare time to study similar problems. At that time, Bian Mu had already mastered the basic basics of traditional arithmetic. The university campus was academically open, and Bian Mu made full use of his spare time to study in neighboring schools. class, he selectively improved his advanced mathematics ability by several levels. At that time, Bian Mu had secretly compared himself with alumni from the mathematics department of neighboring schools several times. Bian Mu was surprised to find that he was good at advanced mathematics. The level of cultivation in this field is much higher than that of ordinary students in the mathematics department.

Surprised, Bian Mu combined the Taoist aspects of traditional Chinese medicine with reference to certain axioms of modern Western medicine. Through very complex arithmetic deductions, he deeply realized that "a hundred years of life, the 24 solar terms are still there, and everyone is different." There are indeed certain periodic laws in terms of health and lifespan in historical periods." Moreover, those periodic laws can actually be calculated artificially.

Bian Mu has been a thoughtful person since he was a child, and he knew at that time to record those fragmented thoughts into a book.

Nowadays, I am busy with other major things all day long, and I have never been able to conduct systematic and in-depth research on this area.

Even so, compared with top-notch Chinese medicine doctors such as Qi Shangqi and Lu Shiyuan, Bian Mu's knowledge in this area has already surpassed theirs by an unknown amount, and it is no longer a problem to deal with difficult and complicated syndromes such as cancer.

He is a reserved and low-key person, and to this day, no one around him knows anything about it.

Since the old gentleman is a socialite, he must have achieved perfect financial freedom decades ago. A big shot of this level suddenly suffered from some kind of emergency at the age of eighty-four, which directly affected the spleen and stomach... It seems that it should be low. Probabilistic event.

Bian Mu guessed that the cause of the famous celebrity's illness was rather special.

…

Along the way, Bian Mu secretly made up his mind, regardless of the specific cause of the famous celebrity's illness, he must control his own mouth and pretend to be confused if he can. He must not be the kind of person who uses celebrities to gain fame. Thousands of thoughts.

Zone F, 6 units, 303 households.

"Here we are, it should be here. This house looks quite old..." Thinking of this, Bian Mu raised his head and glanced at the top, oh! The total height is 11 stories, and the actual residents are on the 10th floor, with three households on one staircase. The old lady lives in the west door on the third floor.

"The third phase of the old community renovation project is probably about to cover this area. It is estimated that an elevator should be installed here before next year. It will be much more convenient for the elderly to go up and down the stairs." Thinking of this, Bian Mu rang the button for 303 households. doorbell.

"Ouch! Doctor Bian! Come in quickly! West door on the third floor." As she spoke, the old lady opened the door to the unit upstairs.

"Be there soon!" After saying that, Bian Mu walked in and went upstairs along the stairs.

The usable area of ​​the old lady's house is larger than Bian Mu imagined. It is very clean inside and outside. Needless to say, the old lady is a diligent person.

"Uncle is not at home?" Bian Mu said casually.

"Alas! My son left in the second year of marriage. Fortunately, I finally got to see my grandson. It's been several years..." At this point, the old lady's eyes were red, but she didn't shed any tears. The common people live their lives with a broad mind and must think broadly about everything, otherwise, their lives will only become more uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry! I've touched upon your family's sadness. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Then... can your son walk independently?" Not knowing how sick the patient was, Bian Mu could only ask casually.

"It's okay to go to the bathroom, but it's a bit difficult to go downstairs to buy groceries or go to the park. I'm very weak, my legs wobble easily when I walk, and I'm not energetic! This is the third floor. If I go up and down, I won't be able to come back in 20 minutes. , take a walk, it’s hard work! It’s been two weeks now...it’s been about ten days, and I’ve lost the energy to go downstairs and walk around in the nearby park. This scared me so much that I took the liberty to stop you on the way. Come on!" The old lady had already prepared tea and fruits, and now she quickly greeted Bian Mu to sit down and chat for a while.

"That's it...then is he in the second bedroom at the moment?"

"Yeah! I only ate a few mouthfuls of soup noodles at noon, and I probably vomited half of it. I don't want to drink water. It's so uncomfortable! I'm lying in his room right now!"

"Okay then! Let's go over and take a look." As he spoke, Bian Mu got up and walked towards the second bedroom.

good! There was no strange smell in the house. Obviously, the old lady took care of her young son with all her heart, alas! It’s not easy at such an old age.

Lying on his back on the bed, the old lady's youngest son looked like he was half awake and half asleep. His face did have the "sickness" of a serious illness, but he didn't seem to be too "sickly".

The man's face looked very fair, and his cheeks were slightly bulging. He looked like he had recently lost weight. I don't know if it was due to illness. A few traces of pink appeared on the face of the man lying on the bed. This point immediately aroused Bian Mu's great concern.

Listening carefully, the man's breathing was quite even, not like a dying person at all.

The old lady was about to step forward to wake up her son, but Bian Mu quickly stopped him and gently waved his hand to the old lady, telling her to mind her own business and just stand aside and watch.

The weather is getting warmer, and the sole of the man's left foot is exposed outside the thin quilt without wearing socks. What is different is that the sole of the man's foot has long hair, but the instep is clean, and his skin color is fairer, as before. Physiognomy, this kind of foot fortune indicates wealth and no worries about food and clothing throughout life.

Bian Mu was not in a hurry to wake up the man, and took a few steps forward to take a closer look at his face.

Double eyelids, big eyes, the upper eyelids are already a little swollen, the hair is still black, no white hair is seen, but it has grown a bit long. In this season, it is long past time for a haircut. The eyebrows are thicker, and there is no obvious hair loss. Phenomenon.

"Look at this posture, it doesn't seem as serious as the old lady described it this morning?! And... with his appearance and temperament, it seems that he has been raised in the family since he was a child. If something happens to him, he will die..." Thinking of this , Bian Mu had already guessed it in his heart.
