Chapter 2075 Diagnosis
Yang Heshu didn't even say goodbye to Zhou Man. He nodded at her and said, "I'll take Bai Shan and Bai Cheng with me. They'll take over the affairs of the villa tomorrow. They'll be responsible for the herbs, clothing, and food. If you need anything, just send someone to find them."
Manbao nodded in agreement, "Senior brother, go and get busy first."
Yang Heshu nodded slightly and turned away. Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Daji were taking the three of them to the front yard to understand the condition of the patients in the other hospital.
After meeting Yang Heshu, he hesitated for a moment and did not go back to the backyard to look for Manbao. Instead, he took the book and followed Yang Heshu away.
Manbao watched Yang Heshu walk away, then turned back and said to Manager Li, "Let's go, let's start in this room."
Pointing to the room where Cui lived, she said, "When I see every patient, I need to know her name, age, when she became ill, and when she was sent here..."
Manager Li lowered his head, wrote it down carefully, and responded.
Manbao turned to He's wife and said, "First, get a basin of clean, hot water. I need to wash my hands. Also, I need three stoves. I have three sets of needles, and I need to boil each set after using them. The needles go into the body, so you must make sure they are clean."
After looking at their hands again, he said, "Bring the stove over later and I'll teach you how to avoid touching the needle with your hands."
Mrs. He and Mrs. Gao responded, one went to get some hot water while the other went to find a stove.
Only then did Manager Li lead Zhou Man into the house.
Manbao just glanced at Cui and then turned to look at the two women lying on the bed on the other side. They didn't look very old, about twenty years old. They also had acne on their faces, which looked much more than Cui's, so their condition was better than Cui's.
Manbao washed his hands, took off his cloak and handed it to Yingyue, then washed his hands again before going to see the two of them.
Manager Li introduced them: "This is the third wife of the Gong family, and this is the fifth wife. They were both sent in the day before yesterday..."
The maids of the two wives were dissatisfied when they saw Steward Li introducing their master to Zhou Man in such detail. Since their master was ill and could not speak, they asked on their behalf, "Steward Li, who is this?"
Steward Li smiled at them and said, "This is Imperial Physician Zhou from the Imperial Hospital in the capital. She will be treating you for the next two days."
The girls frowned and looked at Zhou Man with disbelief. She was really too young and didn't look powerful at all.
The two ladies lying down suddenly brightened up, and Madam Gong San even half-raised her body and stared at Zhou Man with a piercing gaze: "Is this the same Doctor Zhou who cured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Manbao: "...Yes, Third Madam, lie down first, I'll take a look at you."
She didn't wear a mask. On the first day, she had to meet all the patients and gain their trust before wearing one.
Manbao first checked the acne on her body, then took her pulse and asked about the time and course of her illness.
Mrs. Gong San was also very cooperative. She explained everything in detail without the maid asking, and then she burst into tears and said, "The pox on my body is really itchy, and I don't know if it will leave scars in the future."
In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether she would die. She no longer dared to care too much about whether she would be scarred or not.
The day after she moved in, someone in the same room was carried out. Actually, they had met before.
We talked at a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, who knew that he was gone just like that?
Manbao failed to grasp her underlying meaning. Instead, he carefully looked at the pimples on her face and soothed her, "When the pimples go away, I'll prepare some ointment for you. As long as you don't scratch it, there won't be any scars."
She looked at her previous prescription, pondered for a moment, and then changed it for her, but did not prescribe a prescription for scrubbing.
She turned to Manager Li and said, "Let's speed things up. If the conditions of the patients we've seen are similar, I'll write a recipe for scrubbing. You can have the kitchen prepare it and then we can scrub every patient."
This saves you from having to repeatedly prescribe and select prescriptions.
Manager Li agreed.
After seeing Madam Gong Wu, Manbao went to another room with Steward Li. As soon as they left, Madam Wu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Third sister-in-law, is this really the Imperial Physician Zhou who treated the Crown Prince?"
The Third Wife also lowered her voice and said, "It should be true."
She glanced at Cui and said vaguely, "After all, this woman is Cui's daughter and Yang's clan wife..."
The Fifth Madam felt relieved immediately. With Cui around, they wouldn't be too unwell in terms of medical care, right?
Manbao has been busy in the villa, checking one room after another. Occasionally, he would come across a critically ill patient and run to check on his condition.
I haven't been able to stop since I started.
Doctors Jin and Hua, on the other hand, not only did they have half of the yard free of patients, but they also had Medical Assistant Lu to help them, which made them feel much more relaxed. The two of them, who had not been able to rest for a long time, finally had a chance to rest.
As it gradually darkened, Manbao gave a child an acupuncture injection to make her fall into a deep sleep. He then wrote a prescription and asked the person who was taking care of her to get and boil some medicine.
Mrs. Gao came in quietly and bowed, saying, "Doctor Zhou, the decoction you prescribed for scrubbing is ready. I've already notified each bed to get the medicine for scrubbing. Would you like to eat something first?"
Manbao then realized that it was already past dinner time.
She nodded, took a pen and wrote down the name of the patient she had just seen, the pulse diagnosis and the prescription she had just written, then turned around to wash her hands, change clothes and go eat.
The county government sent over several sets of clean clothes. Mrs. Gao whispered, "The steward who delivered the things said these are Madam Yang's old clothes, but they haven't been worn much. Doctor Zhou, wear them for now, and I'll make you new ones later."
In order to hurry on his journey, Manbao only had two sets of clothes in his bag, which was not enough with the current frequency of changing clothes.
She nodded to show that she understood.
After dinner, she twisted her neck to see Cui. When she entered the room, she felt something was wrong. It was very quiet inside. The screens of Mrs. Gong San and Mrs. Gong Wu were open, and even the curtains were down.
She walked around the screen and saw Yang Heshu sitting in front of Cui's bed. She was slightly surprised and asked, "Xiaoxue Yang, why are you here?"
Yang Heshu looked back at her, smiled slightly and said, "Let me see, have you finished seeing the patient?"
Manbao nodded. "I've checked them all. There are five patients tonight with similar conditions to Xuesao. I was just planning to talk to Manager Li about moving them to this room and the next one so I can take care of them as well."
Yang Heshu nodded and asked Manager Li to do it.
Manbao sat on the other side of Cui, reached out to feel her pulse, touched her forehead, then lifted the quilt to look at the rashes in her lapel. He saw that it was already red and covered with rashes.
See you at 6pm
