As soon as Shopkeeper Qin hung up Doctor Sun's sign, a lot of people lined up.
Xie Wanxing found a small table in Doctor Sun's clinic and sat down. She placed the pens, ink, paper and inkstone neatly, and checked them carefully to make sure everything was ready. Looking at the brand new paper and ground ink on the table, she felt a little excited. It had been a long time since she had felt like sitting in the clinic and treating patients.
Doctor Sun saw Xie Wanxing's expression and nodded, saying, "Axing, don't be nervous. Relax. When the patient comes in, listen carefully to my questions and take notes carefully."
Xie Wanxing replied, "Yes, Master."
Soon, the first patient came in, supported by a servant. He was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes. He was slightly hunched over, holding his stomach with both hands, his brows furrowed, and his face full of pain.
The middle-aged man sat down slowly and said weakly, "Doctor Sun, my stomach started to hurt badly right after I ate. It comes and goes, and I keep feeling like vomiting."
Doctor Sun stretched out his hand and took the middle-aged man's pulse. Xie Wanxing hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote down a description of the patient's symptoms on paper.
After a moment, Doctor Sun released his hand and carefully observed the man's tongue coating.
"This is due to improper diet, which has damaged the spleen and stomach, leading to qi stagnation and blood stasis." Doctor Sun said, "Have you eaten anything raw, cold, or greasy recently?"
The middle-aged man looked regretful and sighed deeply. "Oh, Doctor Sun, you're amazing. A few days ago, we had a banquet at home for many guests. There were so many delicious dishes on the table, and I couldn't help myself. I ate a lot of raw, cold, and greasy food, and drank quite a bit of wine. I didn't feel anything at first, but I didn't expect that my stomach started to feel uncomfortable yesterday. I felt even more uncomfortable after dinner today, and I came to see you because I couldn't bear it any longer."
Doctor Sun nodded slightly and said, "Excessive eating and drinking is the most harmful to the spleen and stomach. Your condition is due to disharmony between the spleen and stomach, which leads to abnormal metabolism and poor blood circulation, resulting in abdominal pain and nausea."
After saying that, Doctor Sun began to write a prescription, then turned to Xie Wanxing and said, "Axing, come and take his pulse."
Xie Wanxing quickly stood up and walked to the middle-aged man. She smiled at him under his dull eyes, then reached out and gently placed her hand on the man's wrist.
"The pulse is somewhat chaotic, slippery, rapid, and weak when pressed hard. This is consistent with the symptoms you described of spleen and stomach damage, qi stagnation, and blood stasis. A slippery, rapid pulse indicates internal heat accumulation, while a weak pulse indicates spleen and stomach qi deficiency."
"Are you a doctor too?" The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw the little girl taking his pulse. He even forgot the pain for a moment.
Xie Wanxing responded politely: "No, I'm just Doctor Sun's apprentice."
"Doctor Sun actually accepted a female disciple?"
Doctor Sun didn't answer, but handed the prescription to the man's servant. "Take this prescription to the counter to get the medicine. One dose per day, divided into two doses. While taking the medicine, be sure to eat a light diet and avoid eating raw, cold, greasy, or spicy foods. Eat more easily digestible foods. Take good care of yourself for a period of time, and the symptoms will naturally disappear."
The servant hurriedly took the prescription with both hands, replied "yes" respectfully, and helped the middle-aged man to stand up and walk towards the door.
Doctor Sun turned to look at Xie Wanxing and asked, "Axing, what do you think of this disease? Tell me how to use the medicine."
Xie Wanxing thought for a moment and said seriously, "Master, I think that since the spleen and stomach are damaged and qi and blood stasis are present, the medication should focus on strengthening the spleen and stomach, and promoting qi and blood circulation. You can use Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, use costus root and Amomum villosum to promote qi and relieve pain, and relieve abdominal pain. Add some salvia miltiorrhiza to promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis to improve the qi and blood stasis."
Doctor Sun listened, his eyes flashed with approval, and he said, "Not bad, your thinking is very clear. Let me see the prescription you wrote."
Xie Wanxing handed the written prescription to Doctor Sun with both hands.
Doctor Sun took the prescription and read it carefully: "Axing, your idea of using medicine and the combination of herbs are very good."
He said, "However, the dosage can be further considered. This gentleman's spleen and stomach are severely damaged. Although Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, considering his current physical condition, the dosage can be increased a little. For example, use 5 cents of Atractylodes macrocephala and 5 cents of Poria cocos. This will better enhance the spleen-strengthening effect."
Xie Wanxing nodded continuously.
Doctor Sun continued, "Aucklandia and Amomum villosum promote qi and relieve pain, and their properties are warm. He has internal heat, so the dosage shouldn't be too large. The two grams you prescribed is appropriate. In addition, to better harmonize the other herbs, you can also add licorice root, one gram will be enough."
Xie Wanxing listened and took notes in his notebook: "Disciple, I've got it."
"Then please let the next person in." Doctor Sun shook the bell on the table.
A woman walked in. She looked a little uneasy and her eyes were evasive since she entered the room.
As soon as she sat down, she lowered her head, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, as if she was a little embarrassed to speak. Doctor Sun asked twice, and she thought for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say, "Doctor, I have been married for many years and have no children..."
After saying that, a blush appeared on her face, full of helplessness and sadness.
Xie Wanxing sat on a small stool and bit the tip of the pen. Oh, it’s for treating infertility.
Doctor Sun glanced at Xie Wanxing, who actually felt she understood what her master meant in a split second. She immediately said, "Madam, this kind of illness is sometimes caused by more than one person. I wonder if your husband is here today?"
The woman whispered, "He's outside."
"In order to provide a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis, please have your husband come in as well."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "He's outside. I'll go call him."
After saying that, she stood up and hurried out of the clinic. Not long after, she came in with her husband. The man was dressed like a scholar, with impatience in his eyes, and was half-pulled and half-dragged into the clinic by his wife.
As soon as he came in, he shook his sleeves, sat down on a chair and complained softly, "Why did you ask me to come in to see you?"
The woman showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and stammered, "The doctor said that in order to make a better diagnosis, he wants you to come in too..."
Doctor Sun looked unconcerned with the man's attitude and said calmly, "The issue of offspring is related to the physical condition of both husband and wife. Often, a comprehensive consideration is needed to identify the root cause."
Doctor Sun asked, "Madam, what is your name?"
"My name is Yunniang, my husband's surname is Wei, and he is the second child in the family."
"Please describe your health over the past few years in detail. Besides your inability to conceive, do you experience any other discomforts? For example, headaches, fatigue, or joint pain?"
After thinking for a moment, Yunniang said, "Doctor, I sometimes feel weak all over. Moreover, in the past two winters, my hands and feet have always been extremely cold. No matter how hard I try to warm them up, they won't warm me up."
Doctor Sun nodded. "How about your menstrual period? Is it accurate?"
Doctor Sun asked some questions and took the patient's pulse. Xie Wanxing also followed his master's instructions and came forward to feel the patient's pulse.
Wei Erlang was already impatient and his answers were perfunctory. Seeing a child as young as Xie Wanxing, his attitude became even worse. He frowned and said with disgust, "What's wrong with this little girl? The doctor at Baohetang can't see her, and yet you want such a young child to come and see you?"
