Chapter 991 - 722: Regret
"Doctor Wang, are you joking with me? How could I have alcohol-induced liver disease?"Shen Rong asked incredulously.
In Xia Liang’s clinic, unsettled by Xia Liang’s words, Shen Rong went straight to the hospital without hesitation.
In order to verify Xia Liang’s medical skills, he specifically registered for a specialist appointment in the cardiology department.
After completing a series of tests, he sat in Doctor Wang’s office with a report he couldn’t understand.
Doctor Wang is a cardiology expert with more than ten years of clinical experience in the field.
At this moment, upon hearing Shen Rong question his diagnosis, he placed Shen Rong’s liver CT images under the light and pointed at the image,
"Look, a normal person’s liver looks like this, but your liver looks like this."
"First, the color of your liver is not right, and your liver is also a circle larger than a normal liver. This indicates your liver is already hardened and has lost its vitality."
"Plus, you have a history of drinking, so it’s normal for you to have alcohol-induced liver disease."
Shen Rong’s face turned ashen; Xia Liang was spot on!
Word for word, and Xia Liang described it even more thoroughly than this Doctor Wang.
Xia Liang detailed his physical condition precisely, while Doctor Wang could only inquire about his health without being able to deduce his situation from the test report.
In comparison, the difference in skill was evident!
Yet, holding onto a glimmer of hope, he asked,
"Doctor Wang, considering my situation, what treatment should be undertaken to recover?"
Doctor Wang shook his head without hesitation.
"Treatment? It’s impossible! Your liver is dead and nonfunctional; it’s completely irreparable. The only option now is a liver transplant, and it must happen soon. Otherwise, the condition will worsen, leading to liver deterioration, and you won’t live more than two years!"
Shen Rong asked reluctantly.
"Apart from a liver transplant, is there no other option?"
Doctor Wang shook his head.
"There isn’t, and a liver transplant isn’t something that can be done immediately."
"You must find a suitable liver source that matches yours."
"How long will that take?"
Doctor Wang sighed.
"It’s hard to say; if you’re lucky, you might find one in a week. If not, it could take a year."
Shen Rong nodded.
"Let me think about it; thank you, Doctor Wang."
"You’re welcome. Go home and think it over. Try to get hospital treatment as soon as possible, so the condition doesn’t worsen further."
With a numb expression, Shen Rong nodded and then left the hospital in despair.
"Boss, how is it? Is everything okay?"
The driver quickly approached and asked when he saw Shen Rong come out.
"Okay my foot; I’ve got alcohol-induced liver disease and won’t live long!"
Shen Rong snapped angrily.
"Uh, then you’ll need to find a liver replacement soon."
"Someone from my village had alcohol-induced liver disease."
"He had no money at the time and tried to keep going with a few days of IV drips, but soon the condition worsened, and he died within a month."
The driver was also startled, shocked to find his boss had such a troublesome disease.
The driver had heard of alcohol-induced liver disease; there was essentially no cure, only a liver transplant.
The risks were high, and it could result in a fatal outcome.
Shen Rong was similarly shocked upon hearing this.
He didn’t want to die!
He’d just completed a project and made a lot of money, but hadn’t enjoyed it yet!
"Right, Xia Liang, that kid was able to accurately diagnose my condition."
"His medical skills must be incredible; perhaps he has a way to treat alcohol-induced liver disease!"
Shen Rong’s mind raced, and Xia Liang came to mind, his eyes glittered as he said.
"What? Chinese medicine can treat alcohol-induced liver disease? Boss, don’t let yourself be fooled!"
The driver looked as if hearing heavenly magic, his face incredulous.
"Okay, enough talk, hurry and drive me to Xuanguji World Clinic."
Shen Rong urged hastily.
"Oh, okay."
The driver hurriedly responded.
...
Meanwhile.
Xia Liang had been busy all afternoon and finally sorted all the medicinal herbs.
Some herbs needed to be ground into powder, some needed to be used in granular form; each method was highly particular.
At this moment, he brewed a pot of hot tea, sitting at the table sipping and jotting down some notes.
Just then, footsteps echoed outside.
He stopped writing, looked up, and saw Shen Rong with his driver hurrying inside.
Upon seeing Xia Liang, Shen Rong’s tense expression finally broke into a smile.
"Ah, Doctor Xia, Divine Doctor Xia, luckily you’re still open. It seems I’ve come at the right time, truly wonderful."
As Shen Rong entered, he began flattering immediately.
The difference in attitude was stark.
Earlier, he looked down on Xia Liang and addressed him as a young man.
Yet now, in a blink, he was calling him Divine Doctor Xia!
Moreover, his demeanor became more respectful, shedding his previous arrogance.
The drastic shift in Shen Rong’s attitude was no surprise to Xia Liang.
After all, when one needs help, putting on airs is courting disaster, isn’t it?
Especially when seeking medical help; putting on an act would be truly clueless.
"What’s the matter, Mr. Shen?"
Xia Liang knowingly asked.
"Ha ha, come on, I’m here, of course, to see a doctor."
"Earlier, I was reckless, failing to recognize your skill; please, Divine Doctor Xia, don’t mind my coarseness."
Shen Rong, standing before Xia Liang, grinned awkwardly.
Beside him laid a chair.
Yet Shen Rong dared not sit, fearing he’d upset Xia Liang, resulting in complete ruin!
His ability to maintain his liver, even life itself, depended on the young doctor.
Xia Liang pointed at the chair in front, "Sit down, don’t be too uptight, I’m not an investigator, and you’re not a criminal, why so nervous."
Getting Xia Liang’s approval, Shen Rong chuckled dryly and gently sat down.
The driver watched in awe; he knew his boss’s nature better than anyone.
It was his first time seeing Shen Rong treat someone so cautiously.
Yet the driver’s appreciation for Shen Rong’s behavior was understandable.
Now that Shen Rong had liver disease, perhaps only this young man could treat it.
If he upset him, they’d be truly doomed!
And once seated, Shen Rong couldn’t wait to ask, "Divine Doctor Xia, do you think my condition can be treated?"
Xia Liang nodded, "It can be treated, but you don’t need to call me Divine Doctor Xia, just call me Doctor Xia."
Shen Rong asked cautiously, "Uh huh, and it doesn’t require a transplant?"
Xia Liang shook his head, "No, if it required a transplant, you wouldn’t need to come to me."
