The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool
Chapter 38 Are You Used to Being Cut?
"Yes, my Huzi was saved thanks to Sister Wen."
"Ah, I didn't expect that someone so young has such good medical skills and can even bring people back to life. It's really not easy." Master Liu was amazed at Wen Qingcheng's medical skills, and his eyes were full of respect when he looked at her.
Wen Qingcheng smiled and bowed to Master Liu. "Thank you for the compliment. I just studied medicine and practiced acupuncture to cure my mother's illness."
"My sister is very good at acupuncture. She cured her mother's illness."
With Li Hongxiu's preparation, Master Liu was very confident in Wen Qingcheng's medical skills. Wen Qingcheng didn't exchange too many pleasantries and asked directly: "I heard from Sister Hongxiu that you have had gout for many years. Let me take a look at the affected area first and then take your pulse."
With the help of the servants, Master Liu lay back on the bed, rolled up his trouser legs, exposing his ankles and the entire soles of his feet.
His ankle was swollen very badly, and the first toe bone was also terribly red and swollen.
Master Liu looked at Wen Qingcheng's slightly frowned brows, sighed slightly, and thought: I have consulted so many doctors but none of them can cure me, and I have taken so many medicines but none of them can help me. Can this girl help me? No matter whether it is a legitimate way or an unorthodox way, it would be good if I can stop the pain first.
"I have had this problem for many years and now it hurts a lot. If you can cure me, I will definitely pay you for the consultation fee."
Wen Qingcheng said nothing, took his hand, and began to check his pulse. Master Liu saw Wen Qingcheng put three fingers under his eyes, and then took the pulse again and again, carefully feeling the pulse. She sat there calmly. After checking the pulse, he asked about her medical history and her diet. It was obvious that she was an expert, and he had more confidence in her.
"When I was young, my family was poor and I didn't eat well. I didn't have any diseases at that time. Later, when I became rich, I started to eat all kinds of delicacies. Then, within a few years, I got this disease. From time to time, I would have pain for a few days. When the pain was so severe, I couldn't get out of bed."
Wen Qingcheng examined the patient and combined pulse and tongue diagnosis, and finally concluded that it was gout of the damp-heat type.
The dampness is heavy and moves downwards, and our ankles, toes and other bends are most likely to harbor dirt and filth. This is caused by the combination of dampness and heat, which accumulates there.
"I have a basic understanding of your situation. In fact, it is easy to relieve the pain of this disease. As for eradicating the disease, I cannot guarantee it. First, there are individual differences. Second, whether you strictly follow the doctor's advice is also one aspect. If you do not avoid certain foods while receiving treatment, even a god would find it difficult to cure you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu was pleasantly surprised and said, "Can you really relieve my pain? It's been so many years, and I can't expect a complete cure. As long as you can relieve my pain, you'll be my great benefactor!"
When Li Hongxiu heard that Wen Qingcheng could relieve her uncle's pain, she felt that she had found the right person.
"Sister Qingcheng, when you have cured my second uncle, I will travel all over the country to promote your medical skills."
Wen Qingcheng smiled and waved her hands, saying, "How was it treated before? How was the effect?"
Master Liu beckoned over the servant and brought the prescriptions from his study to Wen Qingcheng. After checking several prescriptions, he found that the medicines used were basically for removing dampness and heat, which was appropriate for the symptoms.
Wen Qingcheng was taken to the study by the servant to write a prescription. While in the study, she searched the space with her consciousness.
She didn't have much gout medicine in stock, but if she wanted to relieve Mr. Liu's pain first, she could give him some hormone drugs appropriately. Fortunately, her colleague in her previous life made a lot of prednisone acetate tablets and gave her a big can.
He took out ten prednisone tablets and some sodium bicarbonate tablets from the space, wrapped them in two pieces of paper, and wrote on them the usage and dosage, as well as the time limit.
He took out another piece of paper and wrote down the prescription: 20 cents of fresh Imperata root, 10 cents of Populus simonii branch, 6 cents of turtle shell powder. Two doses a day.
After coming out of the study, Wen Qingcheng asked the servant to pour some water for Mr. Liu and give him some prednisolone acetate and sodium bicarbonate.
Although Mr. Liu was curious whether these white flakes were medicine, as he had never seen this dosage form before, out of trust in Li Hongxiu and naturally Wen Qingcheng, he took all the medicine obediently.
After all, Wen Qingcheng did describe his illness, which was similar to what the previous doctor had done. He must really understand medicine, and seeing how Wen Qingcheng analyzed his condition so clearly and used different medicines than other doctors, he might get different results.
After taking the medicine, Master Liu took the prescription from the servant and frowned as he read it. "Isn't this Imperata root very common on the roadside and hillside? There are also poplar branches. I can get as many as I want. It's that simple."
Mr. Liu was a little skeptical. How much did this medicine cost? Could it cure the disease? In the past, he spent a lot of money and used connections to buy pills prescribed by the imperial physician, but they didn't work. How could these few cheap herbs work?
It seems that we should not trust this young doctor too much, especially since she is a young girl. I heard that she had a patient at home and taught herself medicine. She is not even a barefoot doctor.
Seeing that Mr. Liu didn't seem convinced, Wen Qingcheng became cold towards her.
Wen Qingcheng knew that Mr. Liu might not take the medicine according to the prescription, but she still gave medical advice and said calmly: "When your pain is relieved, you still need acupuncture. Your condition is caused by damp heat, and the root cause of dampness is the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. However, spleen-tonifying medicine is too slow, and acupuncture will be faster."
After giving the doctor's instructions and paying the medical fee, Wen Qingcheng and Li Hongxiu left Liu's house.
The two of them sat on the wobbly ox cart, and Li Hongxiu kept saying, "My second uncle has plenty of money and is not afraid to spend it. Why don't you prescribe him some more expensive herbs? A dose of medicine is only 12 wen, and the consultation fee is only 10 wen. The secret prescription you used only cost 20 wen."
"That medicine is very suitable for his condition. It's enough as long as it can cure the disease. Why should we prescribe a bunch of expensive herbs to him?" Wen Qingcheng didn't understand why Li Hongxiu, who was Mr. Liu's niece, was encouraged to charge more money.
"Qingcheng, you don't know that for a rich man like my second uncle, even if he wants to see a doctor, the price must be in line with his status. He may not be willing to drink such cheap medicine."
Wen Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Ah? Your uncle is not used to being bullied by others, right? Some herbs are effective and useful, but they are really cheap."
Although Li Hongxiu didn't know what "cutting leeks" meant, she knew that this was Wen Qingcheng's metaphor. She also knew that some doctors would kill the rich when treating patients. However, her uncle had decades of old ideas that expensive things must be good, and she was afraid that if she prescribed him a prescription, he would think it was too cheap and refuse to take it.
Wen Qingcheng understood what Li Hongxiu meant, and she also thought that Mr. Liu's mentality was very interesting, but she would not deliberately kill anyone.
