Chapter 1083 Gossip 1
Madam Cheng glanced at her, smiled, took the money back, and asked regretfully, "Is Doctor Zhou really not coming tomorrow? Why does he have to come in three days?"
"Because you have acupuncture every three days, and massage as well." Why would she come to your house if there was nothing wrong?
She is busy too, okay?
Mrs. Cheng sighed regretfully and asked the eldest maid to send the person out. She stopped at the second gate.
At present, Manbao only has one patient to see, so he is not very busy. Xiaoshao is very busy instead.
He has always been gentle in character and has average talent in studying medicine. Manbao learns quickly on her own. When Doctor Ji taught her, he told her everything he knew in a rush, and Manbao was able to apply what he learned to other situations.
So when she was teaching Xiao Shao, she did the same thing. She simply let him sit next to her and see patients and prescribe medicine with her, and then gave him guidance afterwards.
But the more she was told, the more she felt something was wrong. Two days later, she finally knew what was wrong.
She discovered that for similar illnesses, the prescriptions he prescribed later were actually the ones she had corrected the day before, and even the dosage was the same.
This is not wrong, but it is not right either.
Since every patient's condition is different, how can the prescriptions be the same?
Man Baoyi told him that Xiao Shao would not even dare to prescribe the medicine next time.
When Manbao saw that he couldn't write a single word for a long time after taking his pulse, he knew it was all over.
As a doctor, being so hesitant is not only not enough to prescribe a good prescription, but the patient will also feel that it is not good after reading it.
She could only stop Xiao Shao from prescribing the medicine, and then she and Dr. Ding and the others sighed during lunch.
Doctor Ding and his colleagues thought this was normal. "As an apprentice, everyone's first prescription is like this. When I first started learning medicine, I basically just followed the instructions and prescriptions in the book."
"Me too, but I taught him, and he's checked the pulses of so many patients, so he should be able to change the prescription."
Doctor Ding laughed and said, "It's only been three days, how could it be so fast... You, you can't change the prescription in just three days, right?"
Manbao shook his head. "It didn't take three days. I learned from Doctor Ji that day and revised two prescriptions for him to see that day. Doctor Ji gave me a lot of guidance, and then I slowly figured out how to prescribe."
Doctor Tao raised his head and asked carefully, "How long does this 'slowly' mean?"
Manbao tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Is it ten days? Or seven days? I forgot."
Doctors: ...
They lowered their heads in silence to eat, thinking about how long it took them to come up with their own modified recipe.
Was it half a year or a year?
Shopkeeper Zheng watched, chuckling softly, and picked up a piece of braised pork with a perfect balance of fat and lean meat and gave it to Manbao. He said lovingly, "Little Doctor Zhou, try this."
Manbao nodded repeatedly and picked up the food to eat.
Shopkeeper Zheng looked at her and smiled, "Xiao Shao's talent is limited. Doctor Zhou's teaching method is only suitable for someone as smart as you. You can ask Doctor Ding how they teach their apprentices."
Manbao looked at Doctor Ding, Doctor Tao and others.
Doctor Ding coughed lightly and said, "My method is simple. I'll learn one disease first. After a year or two of study, when he has thoroughly understood it and knows the right prescription for that disease, I'll learn other diseases."
Doctor Tao nodded. "That's right. Once you've learned this one, it will be easier to learn other diseases."
Doctor Gu also nodded, "This is called understanding one thing and understanding a hundred things."
Man Bao said, "That's how I learned too. At that time, most of the patients who came to the pharmacy were suffering from colds and coughs. This was the first symptom I understood thoroughly, but I also learned about other symptoms."
Doctor Ding chuckled and asked, "How long did it take you to understand the symptoms of a cold and cough?"
Manbao: "One month?"
The three doctors didn't even want to talk to her.
But Manbao also understood, so when he went out to the Duke of Su's mansion, Manbao asked Xiaoshao, "Which disease do you want to learn first?"
Xiao Shao had nearly gone bald in the past three days trying to catch up with Man Bao. He had only slept for two or three hours in a row, and the rest of the time he was either flipping through books, looking over his prescriptions and Man Bao's, or memorizing his notes...
When she heard Manbao ask this question, she knew that she was planning to take him to see a disease first, just like other doctors. Although she was a little disappointed, Xiaoshao still breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a moment and said carefully, "I'll listen to you."
Manbao said, "Seven out of ten patients who come to the pharmacy are suffering from wind-cold, wind-heat and cough, and these three diseases always have something in common, so let's learn from this first."
Xiao Shao agreed, and he also preferred to learn this first.
"Then starting tomorrow, you'll start seeing patients like this first. If there aren't any, you can just help me out."
Xiao Shao agreed.
Today is the day for Mrs. Cheng Er's treatment. Manbao gave her acupuncture, massaged her, and then checked her movements.
Because it is the second time, the speed is much faster.
After the treatment, both of them were sweating a little. Mrs. Cheng asked Manbao to sit down and have some tea and snacks and rest for a while before leaving.
Manbao washed his hands and sat at the table, while the maid went to the kitchen to get some hot snacks.
Madam Cheng Er changed her clothes and sat opposite Manbao. She picked up a piece of dessert for her and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhou, try this. I think it's quite good."
Manbao took it, took a bite, and nodded. "It's sticky and delicious. What's it called?"
Madam Cheng brought her some snacks and she tasted one herself. As they chatted, they naturally talked about everything. "I heard that Doctor Zhou went to the Yin family yesterday? I wonder how the young master of the Yin family is doing. My uncle said he hasn't been to school for several days. Maybe he's sick again?"
Manbao said: "It's okay, it will be fine after a while."
Seeing that she didn't want to mention Yin Huo, Madam Cheng changed the subject, "I wonder how the young master of the Duke of Pi's mansion is doing with his injuries."
This was no secret. Manbao said, "The leg has been reattached and is now being treated at the Imperial Hospital."
"But didn't Doctor Zhou come to visit a few days ago?"
"That's because the old lady of their family was worried, so she asked me to go and take a look. Actually, the imperial doctors are much better at setting bones than I am. I just stood by and watched." He got ten taels of silver for the medical fee by the way, and he felt embarrassed just thinking about it.
Manbao couldn't understand something. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "Second Madam Cheng, why are you so kind to doctors who come to your home for diagnosis? You give them money just for coming. Don't you think that's too much?"
The next update will be around 8pm
