"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

The fat man said weakly, clutching his stomach, sweating profusely, and looking like he was in great pain.

"Big Brother Fatty, just bear with it."

With Zizhu's help, Yun Duoduo took out the silver needles, sterilized them with fire, and then inserted them into the fat man's acupoints such as Tianshu and Zhongwan. Seeing that the fat man's complexion had eased slightly, she pulled out the silver needles.

"If you eat too much and can't digest it, you'll easily get food stagnation. I've already given you acupuncture, so I think you'll feel better."

The chubby man nodded. After a few injections, he felt a bit better, and his stomach and intestines didn't hurt as much.

This young physician is indeed as skilled as the rumors suggest!

"Thank you so much, young physician! You have truly brought the dead back to life!"

"Looks like you're all better," Yun Duoduo teased, looking at him.

"Don't eat spicy food these next few days, eat a light diet," Yun Duoduo said as she wrote the prescription.

"Also, don't eat too much!"

"Delicious food and fine wine are great, but don't overindulge!"

The chubby guy nodded repeatedly, like a student being scolded by a teacher.

"Zizhu, go get the medicine." Yun Duoduo handed the prescription to Zizhu.

"OK."

Zizhu took the prescription from Yun Duoduo and muttered, "Astragalus, stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala, dried tangerine peel, Ophiopogon japonicus, Scutellaria baicalensis, stir-fried hawthorn, stir-fried radish seed."

He muttered something as he grabbed the medicine, wrapped it in paper, and handed it to the fat man.

These days, Zizhu is also working very hard to learn these prescriptions and their corresponding symptoms. Her mother's mother was a doctor and had some knowledge of herbs, so she was able to get started relatively quickly.

"Thank you for your help. I really didn't expect that such a young doctor could relieve my stomach pain with just a few needles. You truly live up to your reputation!"

"These are cornbread pancakes with cabbage filling that my dad made himself. They smell so good. You should try them, little physicians."

The chubby man pulled out a large cornbread wrapped in cloth from his pocket, his face slightly flushed.

"Young physician, please don't be offended. You're from the city, and the food in our northern frontier isn't as fancy as what you get in the capital, but this flatbread is incredibly fragrant!"

Yun Duoduo took the bag of food and nodded her thanks: "Thank you."

I was really hungry, and this flatbread was still warm.

"Alright, alright, goodbye."

"Xinshi, see this man off."

Yun Duoduo distributed the cornbread cakes to Bai Zhi and the others.

...

One patient after another, from morning till night, Yun Duoduo and Bai Zhi each ate a cornbread, but she didn't get a single hot meal or a sip of hot water.

I asked so many questions my mouth was dry, took pulses until my wrists cramped, sat on the bench until my back ached, and wrote prescriptions until my eyes were blurry.

She rubbed her sore shoulders and continued seeing patients.

As darkness fell, only a few patients remained.

"Young physician, I've brought my child for a follow-up appointment."

A woman holding a one-year-old boy sat down in front of Yun Duoduo.

Although pediatrics is not Yun Duoduo's forte, she still knows how to handle common illnesses such as colds, diarrhea, eczema, and anemia. Moreover, she has treated Jin Zhuangzhuang's eczema and cystitis before.

Yun Duoduo nodded and yawned widely. "Ah, I'm so sleepy. Come, sit down."

She wiped away the tired tears from the corners of her eyes and blinked hard to keep herself awake.

"What's wrong?"

"My son feels much better after taking your medicine and listening to your advice," the woman said gratefully.

"However, recently she still seems to have a poor appetite and eats very little."

"Let me take a look." Yun Duoduo looked at the child in the woman's arms. The child was very thin and pale, and the symptoms of anemia had not improved.

"Yes, the little one is still too thin. I'll give the little one a smaller amount of hawthorn and orange peel to whet their appetite."

"thump!"

Just then, a loud noise came from the southwest direction outside the clinic.

What was that sound?!

"Someone has fainted! Help!" several patients behind shouted anxiously.

Bai Zhi rushed over to check on the elderly man, who was squatting on the ground and struggling to breathe.

"Come quick! An old lady has fainted!"

"We need to carry the person inside; there are many poisonous insects on the sand outside."

Bai Zhi and Xin Shi, along with others, called on those present to help carry the old woman inside.

Yun Duoduo looked worriedly at the commotion in the crowd, and saw that the old man Xinshi was carrying looked somewhat familiar.

[Huh? This is the pale-faced old woman she saw on her first day of practicing medicine.]

Why did you suddenly faint?

"I've checked the baby; it's still malnutrition-related anemia," Yun Duoduo said quickly, glancing at the woman holding the infant.

"If you are deficient in iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, eat more dates and oranges."

"Zizhu! Bring out the prescription I wrote earlier for treating anemia and get the medicine for this patient!"

Yun Duoduo shouted instructions as she jumped off the stool and ran into the inner room without looking back.

She needed to go see the old woman as soon as possible.

If you suddenly faint, get checked out immediately; don't miss the best time for treatment.

Xinshi had already placed the old woman on the bed in the inner room, letting her lie flat.

"You all go out and see the patients waiting outside. I can handle things here."

Xinshi led his men out, lowered the curtain, and closed the door to the inner room.

Yun Duoduo quickly walked to the old woman's side and saw that she was having difficulty breathing and was not fully conscious.

Looking at Granny Xue's condition, she determined that she shouldn't lie flat in this situation.

Because lying flat increases the amount of blood returning to the heart and raises the diaphragm, making breathing more difficult, one should lie with a high pillow or in a semi-recumbent position.

Yun Duoduo quickly helped Grandma Xue up, propped a pillow against the wall, and helped her lean against the wall.

"Mother-in-law?"

Yun Duoduo called softly, but Granny Xue did not respond; she had already lost consciousness.

Grandma Xue's condition is currently very dangerous!

These symptoms indicate heart failure!

Grandma Xue leaned against the wall, suddenly clutched her chest, and looked pained.

[Oh my god, this is heart failure with angina!]

This is really tricky.

Seeing Grandma Xue in pain, Yun Duoduo's heart ached. "Grandma, you must hold on. Duoduo will find some medicine."

She muttered to herself, deftly took out a nitroglycerin pill from the medicine box, and placed it under Granny Xue's tongue.

"Take this medicine in your mouth, and you'll feel better in a little while."

Yun Duoduo comforted her, saying that even though Grandma Xue had lost consciousness, Yun Duoduo still tried to comfort her.

Gradually, Granny Xue's expression calmed down considerably.

"Well, the situation has finally stabilized, but the heart failure requires an electrocardiogram and X-ray."

What can we do? She doesn't have the necessary equipment.
