"Don't worry, I'll help you. Please be patient for now."
Ruan Qiushui knew that the eczema flare-up was unbearably itchy, and she wished she could scratch it to the bone.
But scratching like this does absolutely no good and won't relieve the itching; in fact, it will only make it itchier.
"Have you ever been allergic to anything before? Have you ever...?"
Ruan Qiushui leaned closer to examine the female patient's affected area, asked about her diet and dietary restrictions, and began to take her pulse.
After the prescription was written and Ruan Qiushui's pulse was taken, the meal was finished.
"Girl, does it really take this long to take your pulse for just eczema?"
Xi Weishi instructed the nurse to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine and prepare it, then turned to look at Ruan Qiushui.
She's such a young girl, she's suffered because of her age.
He's still quite inexperienced.
Ruan Qiushui smiled and didn't argue.
This female patient's eczema was caused by allergies combined with excessive dampness and heat in her body.
Simply cut off the allergen and expel the damp heat.
"Relax."
Ruan Qiushui had the female patient lie on the hospital bed, drew the curtains of the partition, and began to perform acupuncture on her.
Xi Weishi was a little curious, but thinking that men and women should be different, she didn't go over.
As for the nurse standing to the side, she saw Ruan Qiushui's every move clearly.
"Doctor, what are you doing? Don't accidentally puncture the wrong spot and kill me."
The female patient was intimidated by the sight of the silver needles.
Although Ruan Qiushui's needles didn't hurt her much, anyone would probably feel uneasy seeing themselves covered in thorns.
The old doctor prescribed medicine right after taking her pulse. Her condition was similar to that of the male patient, so how did it turn into acupuncture?
Could it be some kind of reckless act, using her as a guinea pig?
"Miss, you mustn't tarnish Dr. Ruan's reputation."
The young nurse greatly admired Ruan Qiushui and immediately defended her.
She had noticed the female patient's reluctance to see Ruan Qiushui. However, she hesitated to speak up because Dean Xi was also present.
To question Dr. Ruan's medical skills now is tantamount to questioning the entire Beijing Municipal People's Hospital.
"Our Dr. Ruan's medical skills are even better than the hospital director's. Normally, you wouldn't even have the chance to see Dr. Ruan."
It's not that there wasn't a chance; Dr. Ruan only agreed to have her name registered at Beijing People's Hospital because of the connections with Professor Zhao and Professor He.
Dr. Ruan wouldn't come unless it was a rare and intractable disease that he couldn't cure.
"real?"
Upon hearing this, the female patient immediately perked up.
If the nurse is telling the truth, she's hit the jackpot.
"certainly."
The nurse nodded firmly, almost swearing on her ex-boyfriend.
"More powerful than the dean?"
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Xi Weishi, the other half of the couple, raised an eyebrow.
Is this little girl really that amazing?
The nurse must be bragging; he certainly doesn't believe her.
"Dr. Ruan, you know what, as soon as the acupuncture needles were inserted, the itching really stopped."
The female patient finally realized what was happening.
She had been suffering from this eczema on and off for nearly a month.
Just now, she was so itchy that she wanted to tear her flesh and bones off.
It's amazing that it's not like ordinary people at all.
"Once the dampness is completely eliminated, it won't recur. Of course, you have to avoid certain foods."
Half an hour later, Ruan Qiushui removed the silver needles.
The female patient felt refreshed and no longer troubled by the itching.
Xi Weishi, who was standing nearby, did not miss the conversation between the female patient and Ruan Qiushui.
I just don't want to admit defeat like this.
Hmph! This acupuncture will only work for a short time; it will relapse eventually.
"Doctor, it's so itchy, I can't stand it anymore."
On the male patient's side, a new wave of itching has begun.
Xi Weishi stepped forward and tried to press down on the male patient's hand, but he couldn't hold it down completely and was pushed away by the man.
"Quickly, continue applying saline compresses to him."
Xi Weishi didn't know anything about acupuncture, so he could only wait for the pharmacy to prepare the medicine and bring it over.
If it weren't for his self-discipline, he would have only used traditional Chinese medicine methods.
Just go to the pharmacy and get an antihistamine, chlorpheniramine maleate.
"I can't take it anymore, it's so itchy! Doctor, please help me, please help me!"
The male patient scratched his thighs and arms until the skin was torn open and blood flowed freely.
The nurse approached with saline solution and gauze, and I was almost scared out of my wits.
"It's so itchy, I can't stand it."
"I don't want you to treat me anymore, switch to her, I want that female doctor to treat me."
The male patient was now placing all his hopes on Ruan Qiushui.
If a female doctor can relieve itching in a female patient, she can definitely relieve itching in him as well.
A good doctor is anyone who can cure his illness, regardless of whether she is too young.
"The medicine is here, the medicine is here."
The nurse who went to the pharmacy to get the medicine promptly brought it into the ward.
The bowl of dark-colored Chinese medicine was still steaming.
"If you want to cure your illness, drink this bowl of medicine."
Xi Weishi didn't hold the male patient's earlier distrust against her.
As long as he obediently drinks this bowl of medicine, he will be cured.
He still has a chance of winning.
"Doctor, is this medicine poisonous?"
Why did the female patient only need acupuncture, while he insisted on taking medicine?
The male patient frowned as he looked at the medicine bowl; he could tell from the smell that the medicine was extremely bitter.
"What are you saying? This is a prescription written by our Dean Xi, how could it be poison?"
The nurse was furious.
What's wrong with these patients? One by one, they don't even trust the doctors anymore.
If you really don't trust them, why come to the hospital?
Do they even care about the reputation of Beijing People's Hospital?
"I... I was just saying it offhand."
The male patient quickly shut up when he heard the nurse sound a little angry.
If he really offends the doctors and nurses, and nobody cares about him, wouldn't he just scratch himself to death?
"Drink it quickly."
The nurse handed the bowl to the male patient, unwilling to argue with him any further.
"Gulp, gulp."
The male patient, looking as if he was bravely facing death, struggled to drink the medicine.
This medicine is fucking bitter.
"How are you? Still itchy?"
The young nurse was curious.
Dr. Ruan just pricked her once, and the female patient's itching stopped.
The male patient even took the medicine; he should recover faster, right?
"It's still itchy."
The male patient was internally complaining.
Is this old man any good or not?
"Wait a little longer."
The medicine has only just entered my stomach; it can't possibly be that fast.
Xi Weishi then asked the nurse to take the medicine bowl away so he could observe the male patient's reaction.
Five minutes later.
"Huh?"
The male patient looked pleasantly surprised.
He was just trying hard to stop himself from scratching, but in just a short while, the itching stopped?
"Doctor, you have amazing skills!"
The male patient was so excited that he tried to go up and shake Xi Weishi's hand.
"No need for thanks. It's my duty as a doctor to do this."
Xi Weishi was a bit of a germaphobe. Seeing that there was still blood on the male patient's hands and skin flakes under his fingernails, she took two steps back.
