Maybe I shouldn't die.
Chapter 89 Medical Treatment
With the presence of the village elders and other seniors, the crowd who came to see the doctor were quickly organized into a line. It was also Fang Yue's first time to see a doctor formally. Although she was not very familiar with Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis, she could use her spiritual sense to see inside.
With this method, are you still worried about not being able to find the cause of the disease? Soon, the first patient came forward. It was an elderly woman with gray hair. When she came to the front, Fang Yue asked her:
"What makes you uncomfortable?"
"Doctor, my throat hurts and I cough a lot."
Fang Yue motioned for the old woman to stretch out her hand and pretended to feel her pulse, but in fact she was using her spiritual sense to observe the old woman's throat.
After reading it, Fang Yue thought for a moment and felt that it was most likely chronic bronchitis, one of the common diseases among the elderly, which is generally called cough or asthma in traditional Chinese medicine.
It's not impossible to treat it with medicine, but this kind of chronic disease requires long-term medication. Judging from the old woman's clothes, she probably doesn't have much money at home.
Although practicing medicine was just a means for her to conceal her identity, since she had already done it, she couldn't just go on about it casually. She hesitated for a moment before speaking to the old woman.
"You should have consulted a doctor in the city, right?"
The old woman nodded with a bitter look on her face.
"The doctors all said that this disease requires long-term medication, but my family doesn't have that much money for an old woman like me to buy medicine."
Fang Yue showed sympathy on her face. This was a common problem among poor families, but since they had met her, they were lucky. So she said to the old woman:
"I have a unique method that can cure your disease. Do you want to try it?"
The unique method sounded very expensive. The old woman hesitated for a moment before asking Fang Yue:
“How much does the treatment cost?”
"The consultation fee is 2 cents, the unique treatment fee is 20 cents, and if you need to take medicine, the cost of the medicine will be charged separately." This price was decided by Fang Yue after careful consideration.
An ordinary farmer could afford 20 cents. Although she was not short of money, she also knew that free things were less likely to be believed. Moreover, charging for medical treatment would not leave any cause and effect.
Sure enough, after hearing the price of 20 cents, the old woman looked conflicted. An egg only cost one cent, and 20 cents could buy 20 eggs, but the doctor said he could cure her disease.
The old woman hesitated for a long time, until the person standing behind her urged her impatiently, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind, took out an old linen purse from her arms, carefully took out 22 copper coins from it, and handed them to Fang Yue.
Fang Yue took the copper coin handed over by the old woman, put it in the money box beside her, and then said to the old woman:
"Come closer, I'll treat you."
The money had already been paid and there was no room for regret. The old woman walked to Fang Yue nervously. Fang Yue reached out and touched the place where she had checked that the old woman's throat was inflamed, and gently rubbed it.
In fact, she used spiritual power on her hands, and the kneading action was just to show off to the people around her. After all, so many eyes were staring at her treating the old woman, and it would seem unconvincing if she cured her too easily.
Under the sharp gazes of the crowd, Fang Yue kneaded for a long time before stopping. After all, her spiritual power contained vitality, so it would not be a problem to cure a minor inflammation.
But in order to prevent any accidents, she still used her spiritual sense to check again. After confirming that the inflammation had been completely cured, she said to the old woman:
"Your symptoms have been initially cured. It would be best if you could take medicine for ten days or half a month. Of course, the medicine is more expensive. It's okay if you don't take it. Just pay more attention to your diet and eat less irritating food."
After Fang Yue finished speaking, the old woman tried to cough twice, and sure enough, the strange feeling in her throat disappeared. A look of joy immediately appeared on her face, but when she heard Fang Yue's suggestion to take medicine, she hesitated again.
"How much does it cost to take medicine?"
Fang Yue glanced at her and noticed the hesitation in the old woman's eyes. She understood that she suggested taking the medicine later just to make it more convincing. In fact, there was no need to continue taking the medicine. In this case, she quoted a higher price.
"A bottle of liquid medicine costs 30 wen, and it should be taken three times a day. In half a month, 30 bottles will be needed."
The onlookers were shocked. Is this medicine so expensive? The old woman also showed an incredible look on her face. After hearing the price, she immediately shook her head.
"No, I don't want to buy medicine." Besides, the doctor also said that it was okay to take the medicine or not, and she didn't have so much money to spend on medicine.
After the old lady left, Fang Yue continued to diagnose the next patient. After seeing the first old lady being cured, other patients also expressed the need for unique treatment. Fang Yue was not surprised.
As Fang Yue cured more and more patients, the news that a traveling doctor with unique methods to cure all kinds of diseases had come to Liujia Village had spread throughout the village. Even the women in the village passed the news back to their own families.
Fengjia Village was originally a large village with a large population, so the line of people seeking treatment from Fang Yue became longer and longer.
By the time Fang Yue finished seeing all the patients, it was already dusk. Most of them had minor ailments or troublesome chronic diseases, except for a few who were terminally ill.
She can handle minor illnesses or chronic diseases, but she cannot cure terminal illnesses. After all, she is using the methods of a cultivator to treat illnesses. If she can cure even terminal illnesses, it would be considered interfering with the fate of mortals.
In that case, she would have to bear a great deal of karma. For a practitioner, it is not a good thing to be involved in too many karmas. Although those terminally ill patients collapsed in despair and disbelief after learning the result.
But Fang Yue had no other choice, unless they were willing to take medicine for a long time and rely purely on the power of earthly Chinese herbal medicine, it would not be considered as interfering with cause and effect. However, among those who came here to see Fang Yue for medical treatment, only a few of them had families rich enough to afford long-term medicine.
There was also a terminally ill patient who, after learning that he had no hope of recovery, became daring and planned to attack Fang Yue. Naturally, he was subdued by Fang Yue. After all, she had not soaked in the body-refining medicine for so many years in vain.
As for how to deal with this person, that was not something Fang Yue needed to consider. She was only responsible for handing the person over to the village chief and others to take away.
After finishing her consultation in the evening, before Fang Yue had even packed up, the village chief came up to her warmly and invited her to stay at his home that night. His wife had already gone to inform her father-in-law's family that they could not let this miracle doctor leave like that.
Fang Yue did not refuse. She originally wanted to find the village chief to verify the information about Feng Sisi's family.
