"I don't like rubbing little feet."

Lu Xuan looked at the other person solemnly.

This must be clarified, otherwise, it would lead to a big misunderstanding.

It's fine if it's not mentioned, but once talked about, how would others view him?

Especially with Su Kenan's personality, who knows if she would tell Cheng Gaowen, wouldn't that be social death right there?

"What I did before was just to help you with bone adjustment, understand?" Lu Xuan said with a serious face.

Su Kenan slightly tilted her head.

Doesn't like it?

But before, he clearly liked it!

And he massaged for so long.

She's timid, but not stupid.

However, since Lu Xuan wouldn't admit it, she could only nod obediently.

"Just sit here."

Lu Xuan moved a chair to place beside himself.

Su Kenan obediently walked over to sit next to Lu Xuan, sitting upright.

"While I'm diagnosing later, jot down what I say on the computer, and you're also in charge of the system's prescriptions and queue management."

"Okay."

Su Kenan squeezed out a voice barely louder than a mosquito.

Lu Xuan glanced at her. Though she's a bit timid, she's obedient, which made Lu Xuan feel more at ease.

Checking the time, Lu Xuan resumed his morning work.

Patient after patient came in, mostly with minor issues. Afraid of the side effects of Western medicine, they opted to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Until a patient named Xu Zijie, around thirty years old, walked into the consultation room.

Xu Zijie walked in, sat diagonally opposite Lu Xuan, and glanced at Su Kenan, who was sitting beside Lu Xuan seriously staring at the computer screen, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.

Xu Zijie herself was quite beautiful, and being not very old, at thirty, it's a woman's blossoming age. But when facing Su Kenan, she couldn't help comparing herself.

Su Kenan's cool temperament made Xu Zijie take a few more looks until Lu Xuan asked, "Ms. Xu, where do you feel unwell?"

Xu Zijie snapped back, shifting her gaze from Su Kenan, and gave Lu Xuan an apologetic smile, "Sorry, Dr. Lu, is this your assistant?"

"Still a student, here for a two-month internship." Lu Xuan explained briefly.

"So pretty,"

Xu Zijie couldn't help but compliment.

Su Kenan's face instantly reddened, shyly glancing at Xu Zijie.

Xu Zijie didn't expect Su Kenan to be so shy, chuckled lightly, and then mentioned with a distressed expression, "Dr. Lu, this condition likely started six years ago. I visited major hospitals, and they said it's something called vestibular vertigo, related to my menstrual cycle or something, I don't really understand.

After all these years, there's been no improvement."

Vestibular vertigo?

Lu Xuan was taken aback.

Vestibular vertigo is a type of peripheral neuritis with lesions occurring in the vestibular ganglion or centripetal part of the vestibular pathway.

Most patients have a history of upper respiratory viral infection about two weeks before the onset, with vertigo symptoms occurring suddenly, lasting a few days to months, and worsening with movement.

The autonomic nervous system symptoms are generally milder than Ménière's disease, with no changes in hearing, i.e., no tinnitus or hearing loss complaints.

Most patients fully recover within two to three months, with only a few recurring cases, and cases like Xu Zijie, who hasn't improved after six years of treatment, are rare. Anyway, Lu Xuan hadn't heard of it before.

Of course, he's a doctor, but only for about half a year, mostly in school before, with few clinical cases, so not having heard is also normal.

"How's the vertigo recently?" Lu Xuan asked, after a moment of thought.

Regarding recent developments, the worry on Xu Zijie's face increased noticeably: "It's because recent vertigo is worse than before; I don't even dare fixate my gaze while taking a bus or watching TV."

Lu Xuan understood.

Xu Zijie's condition, untreated for six years with no improvements, likely wasn't on her mind for treatment, but the recent worsening affected her daily life, prompting her to make an appointment.

Lu Xuan continued asking about her situation and learned from Xu Zijie that not only is she unable to look directly at bright lights, but also has severe tinnitus in her left ear, memory loss, and sluggish thinking.

Additionally, she's been overly emotional recently, easily getting angry at the slightest provocation, and experiencing restless sleep.

"Dr. Lu, is this really vestibular vertigo?"

Having finished speaking, Xu Zijie couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xuan didn't answer directly but gestured, "Let me check your pulse first."

Xu Zijie extended her hand.

Lu Xuan gently pressed down, not sensing anything, then applied a bit more pressure.

"Right hand."

Xu Zijie switched from her left hand to her right.

Lu Xuan assessed. Her left pulse was wiry and thready, while the right was slow and weak, lacking in force.

Then, after listening to her Heart's Voice once more, he smiled and looked at Su Kenan sitting beside him: "Do you want to try?"

"Me?"

She looked at Lu Xuan.

"Really?"

"Of course, internships are for gaining clinical experience." Lu Xuan smiled generously, making room.

Xu Zijie was surprised, glancing at Lu Xuan and Su Kenan. Intern? More like a girlfriend.

But Xu Zijie didn't mind. Over the years, she's seen many doctors who let their students gain some knowledge and experience by letting them also examine the patient.

Su Kenan moved a little closer and mimicked Lu Xuan's technique to take Xu Zijie's pulse.

Xu Zijie, with a slight smile, stretched out her long arm cooperatively.
