"I'll prescribe a prescription and let Mr. Wilson take care of it first."

It is used to warm the meridians and dredge the collaterals, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, guide fire downward, promote qi and blood circulation throughout the body, and improve sleep quality.
Because Wilson has a professional medical team, Chen Yang's prescription was written in great detail, including the combination, the effects of each medicinal ingredient, and so on.
This is also what Borg specifically told Chen Yang. Although the doctors in Wilson's medical team do not understand Chinese medicine, Chen Yang must give them enough attitude, the more serious the better.
Chen Yang handed the written prescription and detailed treatment plan instructions to Borg.
"Doctor Borg, this is the core plan of Chinese medicine."
"At the same time, I strongly recommend that all Western medical radiotherapy and chemotherapy be suspended during the preoperative conditioning period. Our current primary strategic goal is to 'strengthen the body' and create a relatively stable body platform for surgery. Performing radiotherapy and chemotherapy at this moment will only further destroy the patient's already fragile vital energy, which is not worth the loss."
Borg took the paper. The strange and complicated names of medicines and oriental acupuncture points on it made him feel a profound sense of alienation.
Borg looked at Wilson, who was dying on the hospital bed, again, but his mind couldn't help but recall the "miraculous" experience not long ago when Chen Yang accurately cured his insomnia with just a few words and a dose of medicine.
The immediate effect and the profound insight behind it gave Borg great confidence at this moment.
Borg walked to Wilson with the prescription and said to him, "Mr. Wilson, I think Dr. Chen's judgment and advice are the most scientific and suitable options for your physical condition."
"We will suspend all anti-tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments, concentrate all resources, and fully cooperate with Dr. Chen's Chinese medicine conditioning plan to make the best preparations for the upcoming surgery!"
Wilson's eyes moved back and forth between Borg, the Western medical authority he had trusted for many years, and the young Eastern doctor in front of him who exuded a strangely calm temperament.
Finally, he nodded slowly and said weakly, "Dr. Borg, Dr. Chen, my life... is entrusted to you. Please... do your best."
After getting Wilson's consent, Chen Yang handed the prescription to the attending physician. At the same time, the head of Borg's medical team also made a copy, probably to study it.
"hiss!"
Wen Rongxuan took the prescription and inhaled as he read it.
Even Wen Rongxuan found Chen Yang's prescription a bit complicated.
For the next two weeks, the ward seemed to have turned into a precision-run battlefield.
The air is filled with the rich and unique aroma of traditional Chinese medicine every day. Wen Haodong became the dedicated attending physician and, under the personal guidance of Chen Yang, meticulously carried out the treatment procedures.
In addition to medication, Chen Yang also gives Wilson acupuncture regularly every day.
It was the first time that Borg saw Chen Yang giving acupuncture and he watched from the side with curiosity.
Acupuncture is not uncommon in the United States, and there are many acupuncture clinics in the United States, but Chen Yang's acupuncture method is naturally different from that of acupuncture clinics in the United States.
Borg could clearly see that Chen Yang's fingertips lightly twisted, and the silver needle penetrated the acupuncture point as accurately as a snake, twisting or lifting and inserting. The subtle needle sensation guided the stagnant Qi and blood in the patient's body to flow slowly.
Wilson went from being nervous and resisting at first to being able to clearly feel the soreness and swelling under the needle. The stubborn swelling and pain in his ribs were actually alleviated. His tense nerves seemed to be gently smoothed by an invisible hand, bringing him a long-lost sense of relaxation.
This experience made him have a growing respect for Eastern medicine.
The foot bath time every night is the most relaxing moment of the day for Wilson.
The dark brown liquid was steaming in the constant temperature foot bath, with a strong smell of wormwood and ginger mixed with the spicy fragrance of safflower. Wilson's pale feet were soaked in it, and the warmth spread upward from the soles of his feet along the meridians, dispelling the coldness deep in his bones and soothing his restless heart.
The tense nerves seemed to gradually relax, the night sweats miraculously decreased, and the sleep quality was significantly improved.
In terms of diet, Chen Yang had in-depth communication with top experts in the hospital's nutrition department and jointly developed a special recipe.
The principles are light, easy to digest, high in protein, high in vitamins and rich in nutrition.
All greasy, cold, and indigestible foods are discarded. At the same time, medicinal foods that strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite are cleverly incorporated, such as the morning yam, coix seed, and Euryale ferox porridge to strengthen the spleen, replenish qi and remove dampness, the afternoon tangerine peel and lean meat soup to regulate qi and soothe the stomach, and the evening lotus seed and lily soup to nourish the heart and calm the mind.
Wilson's appetite, which had been as barren as the desert, began to slowly recover like spring grass under this careful care, and the stubborn abdominal distension gradually eased.
Wilson could notice his own changes without being reminded by others, which made him trust Chen Yang more and more.
