Chapter 2031 Rejection
Liu Sanniang had been with Manbao for a long time and was used to her various questions, but she was still a little stunned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Her face is red and swollen, and she seems to be extremely angry. Cursing is actually better. It's better to let out the anger than to keep it in your heart."
Otherwise, if the anger accumulates too much, I'm afraid the other half of my body will also become paralyzed.
Manbao nodded slightly and began to teach them how to read people's expressions and how to regulate the five internal organs.
When the patient inside had almost calmed down, Manbao took Shi Xiu and Liu Sanniang in, leaving the others outside.
The patient's family looked apologetic, and Manbao just nodded to them and continued to diagnose the old woman. After examining Shi Xiu and Liu Sanniang, Manbao decided on the acupuncture method, and then asked Shi Xiu to go out and personally teach Liu Sanniang acupuncture.
Seeing that it was Liu Sanniang who was giving the acupuncture, the old woman was a little reluctant and asked, "Doctor Zhou won't do it himself?"
Manbao smiled and reassured her, "It's all the same. I'll be watching from the side. Don't worry, she's doing the same thing as me."
"How are they the same? You are the teacher and she is the student. You are the imperial physician and she is just an assistant physician."
Manbao said, "I will only do the needlework that she has never used before. The needlework you are going to use now is something she has used before."
The woman then said, "But there are still some differences between students and teachers."
Manbao frowned, paused for a moment, and then reached out to take the needle from Liu Sanniang, "Let me try it for you."
Manbao explained the procedure to Liu Sanniang while giving her acupuncture. After the acupuncture, Manbao wrote her a prescription and asked her to get the medicine from her home.
Seeing that Manbao had gone out to prescribe medicine and had not returned for a long time, the old woman could not help but pat the bed with her right hand and call for help. The maid who was waiting outside immediately came in and bowed, saying, "Old lady, what do you want?"
"Where's Doctor Zhou?"
"Doctor Zhou is treating the patient." Just as the words fell, the old woman's son came in. As he had the patient carried out, he said happily, "Mother, the medicine has been prepared. Doctor Zhou said that as long as you take the medicine properly, there is a chance of improvement."
"Didn't you ask Dr. Zhou to come to your house for acupuncture later?"
Her son was stunned, then said awkwardly, "Mom, she's an imperial physician and lives in the palace, so it's not easy to hire her."
"Have you tried to invite someone?" The old woman was a little angry, knowing from his expression that he hadn't. "How do you know you can't invite someone if you haven't tried? Didn't you see the woman who came for acupuncture today? She came yesterday, and Doctor Zhou was willing to give her acupuncture again. How can you not invite her? Just give her more money."
Her son: ...
It's not that he hasn't asked for help before. After his mother became paralyzed, he first asked Doctor Ding from Jishidiang. He knew that Jishidiang had a semi-imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
One is Doctor Zheng, and Zhou Man is also from Jishidiang, so even if her surname is not Zheng, she is still half a Jishidiang person.
But he had invited, but not only Zhou Man, but also Doctor Zheng was not invited. Later, he also sent invitations and gifts to Zhou's house.
However, the gift was politely returned, and Zhou Man's fifth brother personally said that Doctor Zhou was busy and had no time to go out for consultations...
Since he couldn't invite him then, he felt it would be difficult to invite him now. There were wealthy families who came to seek medical treatment before them, but he had never heard of anyone being able to invite Doctor Zhou to see patients outside. There were only a few cases with special symptoms, and she made an appointment with them to see a doctor at Jishidiang.
He remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Yes, mother, I can go ask. Maybe Doctor Zhou is willing, and then we can go to Jishiditang for consultation."
After saying that, he turned around and went out to look for Zhou Man.
Manbao had already received a new patient and was instructing Shi Xiu and Liu Sanniang on the diagnosis. The old woman's son came over to ask about her condition. Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, she needs to relax and take medicine to clear the blockage. Acupuncture can also be helpful, but I'm busy and I'm afraid I won't be able to give her the acupuncture on time."
Manbao pointed to Liu Sanniang who was standing nearby and said, "Maybe you could ask Assistant Doctor Liu. She might be available."
Liu Sanniang: ...
He also knew that it was difficult to hire an imperial physician, and that Zhou Man could only leave the palace for two days every ten days, so it would be difficult for him to get the opportunity to see patients outside. So when she refused, he stopped asking questions and looked at Liu Sanniang beside him, nodding and smiling.
Liu Sanniang: ...
Just now in the tent, his mother seemed to dislike her.
She couldn't help but look at her master, wondering if she was sincere or just pretending.
Manbao met her gaze and said calmly, "Old lady, this kind of illness is rare. If you have time, why not go and see her."
Liu Sanniang understood what she heard, so she turned around and said to the man, "I only have two free days every ten days..."
The two of them briefly exchanged ideas about the time for the home consultation, and the man happily went back to tell his mother.
The old lady was unhappy when she heard this. "Why did you invite Assistant Doctor Liu? She is just the apprentice of Doctor Zhou."
Her son then said, "Although he's an apprentice, he's also a medical assistant. Mother, the medical assistant of the Imperial Hospital is the next Imperial Physician."
"She still isn't, is she?"
"But we can't get Dr. Zhou."
The old lady said, "Carry me there, I will go and invite him myself."
Her son: ...
He had no choice but to ask someone to carry the old lady out, but Manbao had no time to pay attention to her. As soon as she opened her mouth, Manbao smiled and said, "Old lady, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm really busy, so I have to disappoint you."
The old lady didn't expect her to refuse so bluntly, and couldn't help but say, "Then you personally examined that woman at noon today. I heard she'll be coming in the next few days."
Manbao smiled and said, "She is quite ill, but as you saw today, her acupuncture was also performed by my disciple. I was just watching from the side."
"But her acupuncture method is always determined by Doctor Zhou."
Manbao just smiled and lowered his head to write a prescription. He glanced at Liu Sanniang and Shi Xiu, and after seeing that they had both written down their pulse diagnosis, he nodded and said, "Next."
After that, he said to the old lady, "I also decided your needlework method."
Although the old lady was a bit overbearing, she was not stupid. She heard Zhou Man's excuse and knew that it was useless to beg again, so she could only let her be carried away in a unhappy mood.
In fact, Manbao encountered quite a few patients like this in the past three and a half days, but it did not affect his mood much.
Because the next illness is always treated in a timely manner, and one of the main purposes of their free clinics is to train students, this time, the students have gained a lot.
It was she who also visited the special diseases treated by Doctor Xiao and his team and learned a lot.
After the free clinic ended, Imperial Physician Liu formally approved Shi Xiu and the other nine students to join the Imperial Medical Service as medical assistants, just like Zheng Gu and the other two.
As a result, there were more medical assistants in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and one imperial physician had at least three medical assistants under his command.
