Chapter 37: Get Information
Jiang Nianzi inserted the silver needles into the main parts one by one.
Although her movements seemed random, the placement of each needle was extremely precise. Even a single centimeter of deviation would not achieve the effect she wanted.
The positions of the tails of all silver needles are facing backwards.
As Jiang Nianzi flicked her fingertips, a yellow liquid actually flowed down along the place where the silver needle was inserted.
This process was somewhat painful, and the old man's face turned pale with pain. Jiang Nianzi's movements were steady, and her hands did not tremble at all.
Seeing that the old man was in great pain, she did not hesitate to insert the needle, without even a pause.
She would just comfort him from time to time: "Grandpa, please bear with me for a while. If your condition is not completely cured, it will relapse in the future, and you may even have difficulty walking."
I've even been shot, so what can't I withstand?
But I don’t know if it’s because he’s too old, or if the process is more painful than being shot, it hurts so much that he almost can’t stand it.
Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli looked at the old man worriedly, and did not dare to make a sound to disturb Jiang Nianzi's treatment.
As for Grandpa Zhang, he was standing by with a notebook, recording the places where Jiang Nianzi's silver needles were inserted.
After the first round, sweat broke out on Mr. Shen's face.
But the effect was very obvious. One could see streams of yellow water gushing out from the places where the old man was pierced by the silver needles.
The smell was indeed unpleasant, but Jiang Nianzi remained calm.
She patiently took a dry towel and wiped the area carefully.
Jiang Nianzi then changed the silver needle four or five times until no more yellow liquid flowed out of the surface, then she took it out.
The torturous process finally came to an end, and Shen Wulin hurriedly asked, "Doctor Jiang, are you done?"
"There is only one last step." Jiang Nianzi focused on her own business and did not forget to answer Shen Wulin.
She took out some more silver needles, opened the medicine jar, dipped the silver needles in the ointment she had developed, and inserted them around the knee joint again.
Purulent arthritis is a purulent bacterial infection of the joints.
The ointment she made is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug, the same as antibiotics in Western medicine.
This step was over pretty quickly.
After the last batch of silver needles were taken out, the swelling on the old man's knee disappeared visibly.
Although it is still red and swollen, it is not as exaggerated as before.
Even Grandpa Zhang couldn't help but exclaim that the effect was magical.
He just thought about it and realized that if he were to give the acupuncture, he might not be able to draw out the fluid accumulated in the joint.
The key to this step is not the acupuncture points, but her acupuncture technique.
The old man has always felt that her acupuncture techniques are different from those of most Chinese medicine practitioners.
So the effects are also different.
Taking a look at the ointment on her desk, Grandpa Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what is this ointment..."
Jiang Nianzi explained to Grandpa Zhang: "This is an antibacterial drug to prevent the old man's pathological parts from continuing to be infected."
Grandpa Zhang nodded, not quite understanding what was said.
After doing all this, Jiang Nianzi brought over a clean wooden basin, which she had bought in the morning.
It contained medicinal herbs that could relieve the redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, so she threw a clean towel in to soak it.
After about ten minutes, she took out the towel, wrung it dry, and then applied it on Mr. Shen's knees as a hot compress.
Mr. Shen was in great pain at first, but after applying a hot towel, he felt a little better.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and let out a long sigh: "Comfortable, comfortable."
"As long as you are comfortable, it's fine. But grandpa, in order to treat your illness, this wooden barrel and towel are newly bought. I will include them in your medical expenses later."
As long as his leg can be cured, everything else is trivial.
Just a barrel.
Mr. Shen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's all included."
After getting the old man's approval, Jiang Nianzi instructed Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli to soak the towel in the medicine basin every minute and then bring it out to apply to Old Man Shen.
Jiang Xinli quickly agreed.
Jiang Nianzi went to the medicine cabinet and got some internal medicine for her grandfather.
Grandpa Zhang was watching from the side and realized that the internal medicines she prescribed were all for clearing away heat, detoxifying, promoting diuresis and removing blood stasis, and he understood what was going on.
The only step he couldn't understand was the part where the silver needle was used to draw out the pus.
So I asked this question.
Jiang Nianzhi's treatment method is actually a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
For example, draining fluid and injecting antibiotics are Western medical treatments.
She is not an antiquarian, nor does she reject Western medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine has its advantages, and Western medicine has its advantages.
She simply studied Western medicine and then tried to see if she could use Chinese medicine to complete the Western medicine treatment step.
She had already successfully researched it in her previous life.
When Grandpa Zhang asked about it, Jiang Nianzi explained it to him clearly using the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.
As for the acupuncture technique, Jiang Nianzhi couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so she planned to teach Grandpa Zhang directly when she had time.
While Jiang Nianzi was getting medicine, Jiang Xinli and Shen Wulin asked about Mr. Shen's condition.
After hearing what the old man said, it felt good, and the two of them came up with a plan in their minds.
If nothing unexpected happens, the old man's leg should be able to be cured.
I didn't expect that this little girl, despite her young age, has such amazing medical skills.
Such medical skills make people have to look up to her.
Jiang Xinli asked Shen Wulin: "Do you think I should bring my son here for treatment directly, or should I first ask Dr. Jiang to see if she is confident that she can treat my son's illness before bringing him here?"
As a man himself, Shen Wulin felt that this matter must be difficult for his son to accept.
It would be fine if it could be cured, but if it couldn't be cured, he would have to be questioned by a little girl, and he felt embarrassed just thinking about it.
After thinking it over carefully, he said to Jiang Xinli, "You go over and pay the bill later, and consult this doctor Xiao Jiang quietly. If it's feasible, we can bring our son over."
I can't say it's a 100% cure, but at least there should be some certainty, otherwise why would my son come?
Jiang Xinli thought this made sense.
But she felt that her plan to find a lover for her son had failed.
After all, this disease was known to the little girl...
Oh, sigh.
Although the son did not say anything, the injury was in his lower abdomen, which was most likely the same as they imagined.
Jiang Nianzi picked up the medicine, sorted it and tied it up with hemp rope.
Seeing Jiang Xinli coming over, she put the medicine on the counter and told Jiang Xinli earnestly: "These three doses of medicine should be taken in the morning, noon and evening. The white paper package should be taken in the morning, the yellow paper package at noon, and the black paper package at night. In addition, this large package of medicine should be soaked in boiling water and applied to grandpa's legs at night."
Although the other party is young, he is very capable.
When facing doctors, Jiang Xinli always feels like she is meeting a teacher and speaks very respectfully.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Jiang. How much is it in total?"
Jiang Nianzi said, "It's a total of 32 yuan. Many of the herbs used for Grandpa this time are relatively rare and expensive, so the fee is so high."
32 yuan is equivalent to an ordinary worker's monthly salary.
Both oral and topical medications are fine.
The valuable medicinal materials are in the traditional Chinese medicine antibiotic ointment she developed.
