Analysis
There is no Officials line in the hexagram, but on the Use Spirit Parents Zi Water sits the Six-Spirit Flying Snake. Master Shao asked: was the illness snake-related? Did the body show snake-like markings? The hexagram is balanced — it can probably still be treated. Xun above is rope, the image of a snake.
Actual outcome
Mr. Tong confirmed his father had "snake wrapping" (shingles) around the waist. They tried a folk remedy using porcupine quills.
