"Lu Xuan, I've already called you godfather, if you don't teach me, I'll have to fight you."

As Lu Xuan entered the Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic, he could still faintly hear Ji Xiuwen's shameless whispering.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Xuan sat down in the clinic.

He vaguely remembered that back in school, the two of them had joked that if one day someone wanted to learn their true skills, even calling them godfather would be acceptable. He didn't expect Ji Xiuwen would really do it.

Though it was just a joke among friends, to some extent, it showed Ji Xiuwen's eagerness to gain clinical experience.

If he didn't really want to learn, even as a joke, Ji Xiuwen wouldn't actually call him that.

"What happened outside?"

Su Kenan asked curiously.

There had been quite a commotion from the testing department earlier, but since she went to get medicine for a patient, and due to her mobility issues, she didn't like getting into such things and didn't stop to check it out.

However, faintly hearing many people praising Lu Xuan, she couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xuan gave her a surprised look, considering Su Kenan's character, it's unlikely she would ask, no matter how curious.

Has the sun risen in the west today?

Lu Xuan instinctively turned back for a look; it rose in the east, which was perfectly normal!

"Nothing major, just a small child fell from the blood draw table, causing a concussion and coma. I performed acupuncture on the philtrum, and now she's fine," Lu Xuan recounted calmly.

A gleam flashed in Su Kenan's eyes, cured a concussion and coma with just acupuncture?

Although she hadn't had much contact with acupuncture, she knew it was easy to learn but difficult to master.

In general, people can self-study at home, and as long as they don't poke patients and only practice on themselves, it's not hard to learn from the simplest points that don't harm the body.

But to use acupuncture to treat complex cases or emergencies is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She had thought Lu Xuan was only skilled in internal medicine and orthopedics, but didn't expect he could do acupuncture as well.

It's well-known that such comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors are quite rare nowadays.

Most of them only specialize in one area.

Either they excel in internal medicine, which involves pulse diagnosis and prescription writing, or in orthopedic or acupuncture treatments like cupping; not many are versatile.

In ancient times, however, doctors were proficient in both internal medicine and orthopedics, as well as treatments like acupuncture and cupping.

It's conceivable how much Lu Xuan's nearly omnipotent skills shocked her.

"It's not as casual as he says. In such situations, even a TCM doctor proficient in acupuncture wouldn't dare needle recklessly."

Just then, Ji Xiuwen walked in from the doorway, laughing, "This guy is skilled, yes, but also gutsy, daring to needle a two-year-old child with ease. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't dare."

After speaking, he gave Lu Xuan a meaningful look, reminding him that he had promised and shouldn't forget their agreement.

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes and turned to Su Kenan, "Kenan, continue calling the numbers."

Su Kenan earnestly executed Lu Xuan's orders.

Ji Xiuwen wasn't bothered, as he was determined to stick with Lu Xuan.

He had to master acupuncture.

Not to mention, being skilled in acupuncture would make him valuable anywhere.

Even if he doesn't work within the system or at a hospital, opening his clinic would be no problem.

While Ji Xiuwen pondered these things, the patient called was a very polite person who knocked before entering after Lu Xuan gestured.

"Dr. Lu."

Chen Yunyun greeted Lu Xuan politely before sitting down.

Lu Xuan glanced at her, already assessing her condition, but still politely inquired, "Ms. Chen, what seems to be the problem?"

"Dr. Lu, I've had vitiligo for many years. I've visited many hospitals, taken lots of medication, and applied many treatments. I've spent a substantial amount, but my vitiligo hasn't improved and is getting worse."

Chen Yunyun removed her sun-protective clothing, revealing white blotches on her arms.

Her skin lesions showed as local depigmented patches, milky white, varying in size from 1-2 cm to a dozen centimeters. The edges of the patches had clear boundaries, some with increased pigment, and some patches showed remnants of normal skin islands. Hair in the patches could also turn completely white, and mucosal areas might be affected.

Such a condition typically starts as one or a few hypopigmented patches, with pigment not fully disappearing, thus indistinguishable from normal skin. It can also begin as pinpoint hypopigmented spots, with lesions gradually enlarging and fully losing pigment, merging with normal skin noticeably.

The progression of skin lesions alternates between active and stable phases. Some patients experience evident seasonality, with some having lesions confined to specific areas for extended periods, while others quickly spread over the entire body.

Chen Yunyun's case wasn't as severe, with spots mainly on her face and limbs, not affecting her whole body.

However, given the current rate of progression, it seems only a matter of time before it spreads extensively.

For a woman, this can be a truly frightening scenario.

"I can cover the spots on my limbs with clothing, but those on my face; I really don't know what to do. Whenever I go out, I get strange looks from people."
