Chapter 80: Medical Consultation
When Ye Wangshu was talking to the old man about acupoints, many people were watching.
Seeing that these acupoints were useful, they began to ask Ye Wangshu other questions.
Ye Wangshu naturally told everything he knew, and his words were detailed and easy to understand.
"Hey! Girl, what's the use of your leeches?"
Finally, after a dozen people asked about minor injuries and pains in their bodies, someone asked about leeches.
Ye Wangshu suppressed his excitement and cleared his throat.
"Leech have the effect of breaking up blood and removing blood stasis, clearing the meridians, and eliminating abdominal lumps. They can treat conditions such as scanty menstruation, abdominal distension and lumps, hemiplegia caused by stroke, and injuries from falls."
"This can also heal injuries! If my brat gets bumped or bruised again, he can just eat leeches."
The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Ye Wangshu with anticipation.
Ye Wangshu shook his head. "Auntie, leeches are used to remove blood stasis from wounds and play a supporting role. Your child is injured, so you can't just eat leeches!"
"Yes, yes! I'll definitely wait for him to see it. Miss, can you tell me what kind of people can't eat these leeches?"
"Auntie, you've hit the nail on the head." Ye Wangshu smiled, then continued, "Pregnant women and those with heavy menstruation shouldn't eat this. People with weak spleen and stomach or those with poor digestion shouldn't eat this either."
Ye Wangshu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Leech cannot be eaten at the same time as melon seeds, otherwise it will be poisoned."
"Oh! How could this be poisoned? I dare not eat this." When the onlookers heard what Ye Wangshu had just said, they exclaimed in shock.
Ye Wangshu shook his head helplessly. "Everyone, be quiet. This is the interplay of food and its counteraction. If we keep the two separate and don't eat them at the same time, there won't be any problems."
At this time, a child timidly raised his hand and said, "I know, just like you can't eat crabs when you eat hot persimmons."
"The kid is right," Ye Wangshu smiled at the kid, then looked at everyone, "Does anyone have any other questions?"
"I, I want to ask, can leeches really cure irregular menstruation?"
A little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen looked over timidly with a red face.
Ye Wangshu nodded, "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can go to a big clinic and ask."
Seeing Ye Wangshu speak so confidently, the little girl felt relieved.
"No, I trust you. But...how am I supposed to get leeches? I can't just go to the river and catch them."
The little girl's delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked very distressed.
Ye Wangshu chuckled and said, "Little sister, if you need it, you can buy it from me. I have raised a lot of leeches, and now they have been processed and made into dried leeches."
"But I don't have much on me. If you want to buy from me, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Okay! Sister, how much do you think I should buy?"
Seeing the little girl's sincere expression, Ye Wangshu didn't say anything immediately, "How about I take your pulse first?"
The little girl looked around, then stretched out her hand towards Ye Wangshu with a flattering face.
But after a moment, Ye Wangshu withdrew his hand.
"Little sister, your problem is not serious, but..."
"But what!?" The little girl was shocked and immediately looked at Ye Wangshu anxiously, even ignoring the gazes of the people around her.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, are you a bit too cool?"
"Well, when the weather gets hot, I can't help but want to eat something cold. I can't miss the popsicles and ice soda at the canteen for a whole day."
The little girl didn't know the reason, she just looked at Ye Wangshu seriously, afraid that she had missed a word.
"Men and women's bodies are different. If a girl eats too much cold food, it will cause irregular menstruation. Severe periods can even cause unusual pain. If this continues, it may be difficult to have children after marriage."
As soon as Ye Wangshu said this, the crowd exploded again.
"I was wondering why it hurt so much during my period, so this is what happened! I have to eat less cold food in the future, otherwise I'll be unable to have children in the future!"
"Doctor, please take a look at me! I've always wanted a child, but... I can't get pregnant."
As soon as the topic of children was brought up, the crowd erupted in excitement.
"Everyone, please be patient and come one by one. If anyone pushes or cuts in line, I won't show it to them."
As soon as Ye Wangshu said this, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
With the idea that it was cheap and not a big deal, everyone was waiting for Ye Wangshu to take their pulse and diagnose them for free.
He first told the girl how many leeches she needed to use to regulate her menstruation. Ye Wangshu instantly turned into a doctor and started to see the patient.
Given what was said before, it was natural that women would take turns queuing up.
At the end, Ye Wangshu saw an old Confucian scholar with a cane.
"Uncle, please sit down." Ye Wangshu stood up and helped his father-in-law to sit on the chair. "Did you hurt your leg before?"
"Oh, I accidentally fell. At first it was nothing serious, just a little pain, so I didn't take it seriously. Who knew... these past few days it's even hard to walk. I heard someone was treating a patient here, so I thought I'd come over to check it out."
My father-in-law has a gaunt face and wears very simple clothes. You can tell at first glance that he is used to being frugal.
"Girl, do you think this is possible? If not, I'll leave. I can't delay others!"
"Sure, please sit down first, sir." Ye Wangshu took out the silver needle he carried with him and placed it on the table.
"Uncle, let me feel your pulse first."
"OK!"
The father-in-law was very decisive and put his hands directly on the table.
"Master, I need to give you acupuncture to remove the blood stasis. Then I'll give you some dried leeches. You can go home and boil them up and eat them, including the broth and the meat."
The old man nodded without any doubt and let Ye Wangshu give him acupuncture.
Everyone watched Ye Wangshu give the old man acupuncture quickly, accurately and fiercely, and instantly developed a lot of trust in Ye Wangshu's medical skills.
After the father-in-law left with the dried leeches, someone asked, "Doctor, didn't you say you didn't bring any dried leeches?"
"It's not that I didn't bring anything, it's just that I didn't bring much. It was just that little, enough for one meal. I saw that the old man was dressed simply, and that little wouldn't cost much, so I gave it to him."
As soon as Ye Wangshu said this, many people appeared to be playing the victim.
However, Ye Wangshu remained unmoved. He believed that it was his own thing and he had the right to deal with it.
Seeing this, many people shook their heads and left.
However, there are also many people who say they will come to Ye Wangshu to buy leeches tomorrow.
Ye Wangshu naturally agreed to all of them and said that he would come here early tomorrow.
Ye Wangshu also had a sudden idea today and was not well prepared.
But the effect was good and she was very satisfied.
"The female comrade has good medical skills and is very adaptable. She's really wasted her talent in this small place."
Hearing the voice, Ye Wangshu turned around and looked.
She had never seen the person in front of her before, but she felt that he looked familiar.
Moreover, this person has extraordinary popularity and a heavy temperament but is not intimidating.
