135: Chapter 132 This is what it means for medicine and martial arts to be inseparable.

It was not a plane malfunction, but rather a woman sitting in the same cabin section as Li Changsheng who was exclaiming in alarm.

She was a blonde, blue-eyed foreigner whose light makeup could not hide her delicate features, but at this moment, she was holding her child and screaming in a panic.

Various words that Li Changsheng could only vaguely understand spilled out.

They were mostly "Help! Someone come and save my child!"

Seeing her holding the child with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, Li Changsheng took off his headphones and stood up to look over.

Other passengers made similar movements, all watching with great surprise.

The child the woman was holding was only a few months old; in fact, the baby had been crying and fussing ever since they boarded the plane, and the woman couldn't comfort it at all.

Fortunately, the passengers here were understanding of this mother traveling alone with her child, so they didn't say much.

At this moment, a flight attendant also hurriedly came over to check the situation.

No one had expected something like this to happen. Although the flight attendants had received emergency first aid training, how could they possibly know how to treat such an infant?

Soon, the child's crying stopped abruptly, and immediately after, the baby began to twitch slightly, its whole body trembling uncontrollably in the blonde woman's arms.

This scene terrified the woman to the point of collapse, but she still begged the flight attendants to find a way, preferably by finding the nearest airport to land and seeking a doctor as soon as possible.

Emergency landings are possible, but they couldn't just do that from the start. The cabin manager would first inquire by broadcasting to ask if there were any doctors among the passengers.

Just like in the movies.

And as luck would have it, there really was a surgeon in economy class—a bald, black doctor.

Seeing a doctor come over, Li Changsheng stopped paying attention. Everyone else was crowding around to watch, but he couldn't be bothered to waste the effort. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to cycle his Internal Alchemy Meditation a few more times?

Although his Internal Alchemy Meditation had already broken through, Li Changsheng was in the habit of circulating his Qi. Regardless of whether it was effective, it at least allowed his meridians and acupoints to gradually open up from small blockages to full flow.

This would be very helpful for Cultivating other arts in the future.

"Hello, I am Martin, a professional surgeon. These are my credentials. I currently work at a clinic in Night City."

The black doctor took out his credentials to show them. He was here for a trip to Xia Country and didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He originally didn't want to come; after all, he was a surgeon, a neurosurgeon at that. This was clearly a pediatric issue, and furthermore... he couldn't even diagnose what had caused it.

"How did the child become like this?"

"Just a moment ago, my poor little Johnson became like this. Please, I beg you, you must save my child!"

The woman pleaded continuously, her eyes full of tears.

Although people from Country M do not take care of children as meticulously as those in Xia Country, it does not mean they do not love their children. In fact, some families love their children dearly, but they almost let them be once they grow up.

"Damn it!"

Martin looked at this scene and was on the verge of cursing.

However, after examining the child, he had to shake his head and sighed: "I am very sorry, but there is a lack of professional diagnostic equipment here, and I am unable to make an accurate diagnosis. I think, madam, you should ask the captain to find a place to make an emergency landing as soon as possible and quickly contact a local hospital."

"The child's breathing is very rapid, and there might be a severe electrolyte imbalance. This is a life-threatening situation for a baby only a few months old, so..."

Martin didn't continue. Naturally, he couldn't admit that his skills were insufficient.

In fact, he estimated that even if it were their clinic's pediatrician, they would be helpless in the absence of medical equipment.

Hearing this, the blonde woman was nearly on the verge of collapse, her tears having long since ruined her delicate makeup.

Looking at her child, whose breathing was rapid and eyes were glazed as if on the verge of death, she felt as though her heart was being squeezed.

An emergency landing might be feasible, but no matter how quickly they landed, treatment would still be an hour away.

After all, an emergency landing is not a crash; even if the descent is fast, it would still take some time for the local hospital to perform emergency treatment.

By then... could little Johnson really hold on?

"Make way!"

"Make way!"

Just then, a voice spoke in slightly awkward English, followed by the same phrase in the Xia Country language.

A young man with a Xia Country face quickly squeezed through the crowd. He was wearing headphones. He looked at the woman and said calmly: "May I take a look?"

Because his English was not very fluent, the young man from Xia Country spoke very briefly.

"Are you a doctor?"

Surprisingly, the blonde woman actually knew the Xia Country language. Her speaking it caught Li Changsheng off guard.

"My name is Taylor. Please, save my child."

The woman pleaded. The black doctor on the side couldn't let Li Changsheng act recklessly, especially seeing Li Changsheng begin to diagnose the child without showing any professional credentials, which made him frown, his obsessive-compulsive tendencies flaring up.

"Sir! Are you really a doctor? Oh, God, you are killing the child!"

Just then, Li Changsheng started feeling around the child. Although his movements were gentle, they clearly looked wrong; one moment he was checking the tongue, the next the ears, then lifting the clothes.

In the black doctor's eyes, this was not very professional. Although pediatrics did require such things, where he came from, they used stethoscopes or relied on instruments for scanning.

Li Changsheng was actually quite helpless; he didn't want to be helpful.

And it was a foreigner. Of course, this didn't mean foreigners weren't worth saving, but he himself was a layman when it came to treating illnesses.

The reason he stepped forward was that he had a deep understanding of the human body, and in order to better understand himself, he had also been studying many theories of TCM.

Although these were just theories, Li Changsheng's memory and learning ability after the System solidified them were terrifying.

And it just so happened that he had clearly understood the child's symptoms in a book.

He even knew how to treat it; this involved Tui Na massage in TCM.

"Red cheeks—that is heat in the Heart Meridian!"

"Redness at the bridge of the nose—the Heart Meridian has been affected by wind!"

"This is... fire in the Heart Meridian. Extreme heat generates wind, and the movement of wind is causing the convulsions!"

"Madam, please find a piece of gauze and help put it between the child's teeth so the child doesn't bite its tongue!"

Li Changsheng said to the flight attendant nearby while picking up the child's left hand.

Tui Na has many benefits in modern medicine. For example, in pediatrics, some TCM hospitals now have professional pediatric Tui Na doctors.

Furthermore, it is not just for children; it can be used for treatment in various disciplines, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and orthopedics.

It is also effective for orthopedic conditions, such as neck, shoulder, waist, and leg pain, as well as soft tissue injuries, especially post-exercise injuries, where Tui Na effects are very ideal.

Don't think this is just the street-side blind massage; in fact, Tui Na is a profound discipline.

Li Changsheng didn't know much; he mainly learned Tui Na to facilitate dealing with injuries when fighting others later. This stuff could treat minor dislocations and even muscle soreness from training. It also has miraculous effects on joints.

Li Changsheng even wanted to learn Acupuncture in the future. It is said to be quite useful for dredging meridians and activating collaterals, and it has miraculous effects on nerve damage and joint tendon sheath recovery.

For example, if someone cuts your finger or foot tendon sheath later, even if you reattach it with surgery, it is still difficult to recover, and the joint movement will always be a bit awkward.

At this time, the effect of Acupuncture is indeed surprisingly good.

This is what they call Medicine and Martial Arts are inseparable. After all, when you fight with others, you are bound to bleed and get injured, especially in the past.

If you don't know a bit of medicine, you have to beg everyone for help when fighting.

"Under the palm, the right Yin Pool Acupoint and the left Yang Pool Acupoint. The point where the child's four fingers fold over the fist is the Kan Palace, the Small Heaven Heart!"

Immediately, Li Changsheng used his thumbs to push and divide from the Small Heaven Heart!

"Children's illnesses are mostly caused by disharmony of Qi and blood and confusion of Yin and Yang. Therefore, in most pediatric Tui Na, one must first start by dividing Yin and Yang; this is the key to many symptoms!"
