Chapter 1189
Xu Yungong could not understand his father's choice, but he knew that his father's decision was not something he could change.
So after Xu Da finished speaking, although he could not accept his father's choice in his heart, he still nodded to show that he understood.
No one knows a son better than his father. Xu Da could probably guess what his son was thinking, but he didn't say anything else.
Some things cannot be done just by saying them. A sentence or two will be enough. There is no need to waste time.
So after talking to Xu Yungong, Xu Da turned his head and looked towards Wei Wu, and said softly:
"Duke Zhenguo, thank you for your help!"
Wei Wu knew that he would have to explain the treatment plan himself, so he pondered for a moment and then said:
"Back carbuncle is a general term in medicine, referring to symptoms such as carbuncle, erosion, and abscess on the back."
"But from what I know about medicine, these symptoms are likely caused by different diseases, so we need to first determine the root cause!"
"For example, severe infections caused by complications of diabetes, acute cellulitis or carbuncles, necrotizing fasciitis and complications from back tumors."
Everyone present could understand some of what Wei Wu said at the beginning, but it was like listening to a mystery after that.
They know the words diabetes, complications, and acute cellulitis, but they are confused when they are put together.
In fact, Wei Wu was not talking nonsense, and in Xu Da's case, there was indeed a possibility that diabetes was the cause.
As a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da's living conditions were so good that few people in the world could compare to him.
There is indeed a risk of developing diabetes, and diabetic patients have low immunity, so even minor skin injuries can easily become serious.
For example, a disease like folliculitis can easily develop into a serious soft tissue infection and is very difficult to heal.
Therefore, before determining the treatment plan, Wei Wu had to first roughly determine why Xu Da had developed a back carbuncle.
It didn't matter that others didn't understand. Wei Wu didn't want to explain. He just looked at Xu Da seriously and said:
"Wei Guogong..."
Wei Wu had just opened his mouth to call out a name when Xu Da raised his hand to interrupt him and corrected him:
"No need to be so distant. Since you call me Uncle Zhu, you can also call me Uncle Xu!"
"That... OK, I'll call you Uncle Xu from now on."
Xu Da nodded, and then pretended to listen attentively. Seeing this, Wei Wu spoke again:
"Uncle Xu, I need to tell you about the four symptoms I just mentioned. Please be mentally prepared."
Xu Da smiled carefreely and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, just tell me!"
"Row!"
Wei Wu nodded, then organized his words in his mind before speaking:
"Regarding the four symptoms I just mentioned, no matter what disease caused them, the success rate of curing them is actually not very high."
"Necrotizing fasciitis and back tumor complications are two conditions that cannot be cured with current medical capabilities."
"Especially complications from back tumors. Even in my case... it's a very, very serious condition and incurable!"
(These two chapters about studying medicine are just jokes. I really don’t understand them, and my head is about to explode from searching for information o(╥﹏╥)o)
Wei Wu's words were quite serious, but Xu Da acted very calm after hearing them.
Seeing this, Wei Wu no longer had any scruples in his heart and continued to speak:
"If it's a complication of a back tumor, there's no chance of a cure. If it's necrotizing fasciitis, you can give it a try."
"But the success rate is less than 10%. If it's a back abscess caused by diabetes, the success rate is only about 40%."
"The best outcome is acute cellulitis or carbuncle, because that can be managed with aggressive medical treatment."
In fact, to put it bluntly, no matter what kind of disease caused the back carbuncle, there was only one real reason that took Xu Da's life.
