Chapter 2635 Genius
Doctor Tan sat in the clinic and discussed the treatment plan with Zhou Man.
Wei Zhi's illness requires care, but it is obviously impossible to let him rest completely, so they can only take a step back.
Doctor Tan had the most experience in how to gently take care of the body. After all, he had been keeping Yin Huo alive all by himself.
Manbao learned a lot from him. One conversation is worth three years of study.
Manbao finally made a lot of notes before leaving, and also took away three prescriptions written by Doctor Tan, one for a decoction, one for honey pills, and the other for a medicinal diet prescription.
Doctor Tan stroked his beard and said, "However, in my opinion, these are second-rate methods. No matter how good the prescription is, it is not as good as Master Wei sleeping peacefully for two hours."
He said, "Don't underestimate sleeping. Lost mental energy usually needs to be replenished through sleep. Lord Wei's mind is exhausted, but he can't sleep well. Sigh..."
Manbao began to think of a sleeping recipe, but he couldn't use medicine to avoid it conflicting with the current treatment. He could only use incense or medicine bags...
Manbao started thinking.
Seeing Zhou Man immersed in his own world, Doctor Tan smiled slightly, stood up with the help of the table, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Yuanzheng hurriedly followed behind.
This was not his first time to come to the Yongzhou Palace. He had accompanied the late emperor and the current emperor here before.
He walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, stood under a tree, and smiled faintly at the palace on the hillside. "In the past, our clinic could only be built down below, slightly above the Imperial Guards. Those palaces up there weren't places for our Imperial Hospital. The three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, and three administrative offices, each of them occupied a courtyard and still felt it wasn't enough. Every day, we had to climb all the way up from down below to see patients, first seeing His Majesty and the Empress, and then the rest of the nobles."
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, the Imperial Hospital is different now than it was before. His Majesty trusts us more."
"It's more than that," said Doctor Tan. "You are very good. You were able to separate the Imperial Medical Bureau from the Taichang Temple, making it as famous as the nine temples. This is something that no one before you has done."
Xiao Yuanzheng was very excited to get the recognition from his master.
Doctor Tan asked, "How many students are currently staying in the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said, "There are currently around 600 students. Every year, there are students who graduate and are sent to various local medical offices. However, they are still few in number. The majority of students still need to stay in the Imperial Medical Office to continue their studies."
"Take your time, there's no rush." Old Doctor Tan looked back and saw Zhou Man still sitting at the table, holding a pen and writing something in distress.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead."
Dean Xiao lowered his head and said, "I am sorry for not being able to explain Master Wei's condition, and I have caused you to have to run around in trouble."
Doctor Tan shook his head and said, "If I hadn't come here this time, I wouldn't have known Zhou Man was so talented. She's so different from the first time I saw her. And it's only been five or six years."
Doctor Tan pondered for a moment, "Is it five years, or six years?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Teacher, it seems like it's been almost seven years."
Doctor Tan ignored him and continued, "You are far behind him."
Xiao Yuan was lowering his head. Of course he knew. Zhou Man was old and learned things quickly. How much time did they have to study in a day? How much time did she have?
By the way, has he been too lenient with Zhou Man in recent years? In order to give her time to revise and read books, she rarely handles the chores of the Imperial Hospital.
Doctor Tan praised him, "You've done a good job. Those adults, huh, often look down on us doctors. You haven't read enough Confucian books, and sometimes you can't win an argument with them, so you should read more."
"It's a pity that you are all old now, it's too late, but the next generation can still do it. In the future, children in your family should not only read medical books, but also read other books."
Xiao Yuanzheng hesitated and said, "Teacher, everyone has their own specializations. If you don't focus on medicine, I'm afraid you won't make any progress."
He asked, "How many people in the world can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi? So, how many doctors like Zhou Man are there in the world?"
Doctor Tan thought for a moment and sighed, "I just took it for granted."
Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't help asking, "Teacher, you just talked with Zhou Man for a long time. Her medical skills..."
"She's already better than you," Old Doctor Tan couldn't help but smile as he stroked his beard again. "When I first met her, although she was able to come up with a better method to treat Yin Huo than I could, it was partly because of her acupuncture skills and partly because she was young and in her prime."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...What does this have to do with age?"
"Of course there are," said old Doctor Tan firmly. "What an old man like me says goes in one ear and out the other, not to mention the prescriptions I prescribe... Oh, forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it."
The prescription he prescribed for Yin Huo was to conserve his energy and then give him strong medicine to make him burst out with vitality, which would last for half a year to a year so that he could have offspring.
Because this is the family's request.
Zhou Man, on the other hand, colluded with the patient to secretly stop his medication and replaced it with another prescription, which he had carefully read at the time.
If Yin had only taken the decoction prescribed by Zhou Man, he would have died without a doubt, because although the decoction was mild, its medicinal effect would not have been able to reach that point in his body.
But she does use acupuncture.
Acupuncture stimulated the efficacy of the medicine and even guided it throughout the body, so Yin Huo was able to survive with the help of the mild prescription. Also, because the toxicity of the medicine was reduced, he felt much better both physically and mentally.
However, Doctor Tan always believed that the most important thing was that Zhou Man untied Yin Huo's heart knot, which was the most important reason for maintaining Yin Huo's vitality.
In this regard, he, an old man, is naturally no match for Zhou Man.
So at that time he was only amazed by Zhou Man's acupuncture skills, and gave only immature comments on her diagnosis and prescription skills.
But in just a few years, her diagnosis and prescription skills were already enough to amaze even the old doctor Tan.
Doctor Tan felt extremely regretful. It was such a pity that such a person had to take a Confucian scholar as his teacher. He should have taken him as his teacher.
"Lord Wei's illness isn't superficial, but internal. Skin conditions are easy to diagnose, even those that already show symptoms. But a condition like Lord Wei's, where there are no signs of illness but the underlying damage is already rife, can only be diagnosed by a highly experienced physician." Doctor Tan said, "Among the doctors I know, there are no more than five who can diagnose this condition, myself included. And now, Zhou Man is the sixth."
Xiao Yuan was shocked.
Doctor Tan patted his shoulder meaningfully and said, "It's a pity for a doctor like her to stay in the capital at her age."
Xiao Yuanzheng was startled, "Teacher..."
"I remember that before you were promoted to fifth-rank imperial physician, you took two years off and traveled down the Wei River to Lingnan, right?" Old Imperial Physician Tan said, "She needs to see more cases."
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled bitterly, "But she is a woman, and she is married. Her husband is a secretary of the Central Secretariat."
Where can I get away?
Doctor Tan said meaningfully, "You underestimate her, just like I underestimated her a few years ago."
Back then, he knew she was very powerful, but he never thought she could be this powerful.
See you tomorrow
