Chapter 618 Formal Medical Consultation
Manbao looked at Zhou Silang as if he were an idiot. "Fourth Brother, I'm studying medicine. I'm a doctor! It's all written in the books, okay?"
And it was very detailed, about sperm, eggs, and the differences between boys and girls. She had learned about it with Teacher Mo two years ago.
Zhou Silang's hands were shaking as he held the medicine bag. He trembled and said, "Hey, hey, hey, why is there so much written in the book?"
He wanted Manbao not to read such books, but then he thought it was not right. Was he learning medical skills?
It seems impossible not to watch it.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t learn it, but what if you still can’t learn it and still go to treat patients and make them worse?
Just when Zhou Silang was struggling, Manbao suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Fourth Brother, when you go back, remember to take Brother Guan to the pharmacy to see if he has any illness. If he has the same illness as my ex-brother-in-law, then I won't be able to have children."
Zhou Silang: “…Okay.”
Bai Erlang and Zhou Lijun on the side were still confused.
Zhou Silang turned his head and saw it. He couldn't help but reach out and pat the two of them on the head, sighing, "Ignorance is bliss."
Bai Erlang & Zhou Lijun: ...
Teacher Mo came online on time and was extremely happy when he saw Manbao's email.
He has now changed his focus to ancient Chinese medicine, and what he urgently needs are various ancient pulse cases. Manbao can not only provide pulse cases but also their prescriptions when he enters the pharmacy, which will be of great help to his research.
Of course, with so many resources at his disposal, Mr. Mo would also give prescriptions based on the pulse diagnosis to teach Manbao.
Teacher Mo said to Manbao confidently, "Now, you not only have a knowledgeable teacher like me, a vast encyclopedia of information, but also countless patients. As long as you continue to study diligently, you will definitely become a famous doctor in the future."
Manbao himself began to yearn for it, "Then wouldn't I be very powerful, very powerful?"
Not only Teacher Mo, but even Keke expressed their agreement and encouraged her that she would be very successful.
Then the next day, after finishing his morning lessons and practicing calligraphy for half an hour, Manbao went to Jishidiang with his backpack on his back.
Because it was the first day, Zhou Lijun went with her.
At this point in time, the pharmacy had only been open for a short time and the patient had just arrived.
Manbao greeted everyone, then moved a small stool next to the old doctor and sat down obediently. Then he took out the paper, pen and ink from his backpack and placed them in front of him.
The old doctor was shocked by her familiarity and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. "Ms. Zhou..."
"You can call me Manbao. This is my nickname. My family and friends all call me that." Manbao was very familiar and asked, "Old man, what is your name?"
"My surname is Ji, and my given name is Ze. You can just call me Doctor Ji."
"Doctor Ji, what's the name of our shopkeeper?"
Doctor Ji: "The shopkeeper's surname is Zheng, so you can just call him Shopkeeper Zheng."
Manbao: "Hey, there's also a shopkeeper named Zheng in Luojiang County. Are they family?"
Doctor Ji then looked at Manbao and asked, "Do you know Zheng Yiwei?"
Manbao nodded vigorously, "Yes, I know you. We are good friends."
Zheng Yiwei, who is far away in Luojiang County: Are you the kind of good friend who you see three or four times a year at most?
Doctor Ji now sat up straighter, his expression becoming even more amiable. "Are you and Yiwei good friends?"
Manbao nodded and said, "We have known each other for five or six years. My family grows some medicinal herbs, and we have always sold them to him. We have become familiar with each other after a while."
Five years is not a short time. Zheng Yiwei has only been in Luojiang County for more than six years.
Doctor Ji stroked his beard and smiled, "What a coincidence! Manager Zheng and Yiwei are uncle and nephew. You should change the way you address them."
"Then I'll just call you Shopkeeper Lao Zheng."
Doctor Ji, who was about to ask him to call Zheng Yiwei "Small Zheng Shopkeeper," said:
He paused, thought for a moment, and felt that this title was not bad. Zheng Ping was not young anymore, so he should be called the old shopkeeper.
Doctor Ji narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Okay, I'll call you whatever you want from now on. Come on, tell me, have you ever learned how to take a pulse?"
"Yes, I have learned it, and I have been learning it for several years. In the past two years, I have taken the pulses of many people in the village."
Doctor Ji nodded and said, "You will examine the patient first and write down the pulse on your paper. I will take a look at it again."
Manbao nodded.
After the two of them discussed it, they let the waiting patient come forward.
The two of them were talking without a door in between or avoiding others, so the patients waiting nearby heard everything.
As soon as they sat down at the table, Manbao moved his pulse pillow forward and looked at the patient eagerly.
The patient hesitated for a moment, then thought of what the old doctor had just said, that he would look at the young lady again after seeing her, and then he put his hand on it.
Manbao felt his pulse, listened attentively, observed his expression, and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"My throat is dry and itchy, and I keep coughing."
"When did you start coughing? Or is your nose runny?"
"It started the day before yesterday, and I don't have a runny nose anymore."
"Have you taken any other medicine?"
"No."
"Are you feeling any other discomfort?"
The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel a little dizzy."
Manbao then said, "Let me see your tongue."
After a careful observation, listening, questioning and palpation, Manbao withdrew his hand and began to write the pulse case.
Doctor Ji then gestured for the patient to turn towards him and repeated the question Manbao had just asked. After taking the patient's pulse, he picked up the pen to write the prescription and casually wrote down a pulse history in a notebook beside him.
His pulse diagnosis was summarized in one sentence, but Manbao wrote a long and eloquent account of it, with great detail, even including his sallow complexion.
Doctor Ji glanced at it and shook his head slightly. It was written in great detail, but wasn't it a waste of paper?
The patient took the prescription to get the herbs, and Manbao didn't even have time to take a look at it, let alone write it down.
However, Manbao only felt a little regretful. There were so many patients behind him anyway, so there was no need to rush.
When the second patient came forward, Manbao again examined him and asked questions first, and then Doctor Ji examined him again and asked questions again.
Sometimes the questions Dr. Ji asked were different from Manbao’s. Manbao would write them down and then carefully follow Dr. Ji to observe the patients.
Because she was thinking about copying the prescription, she wrote the pulse diagnosis much faster and didn't pay much attention to the neatness of her handwriting.
After finishing the pulse record, she turned her head to look at the prescription written by Doctor Ji, and then quickly copied the name of each medicine he wrote. As she wrote, she felt a little confused, "Doctor Ji, what are these words?"
Doctor Ji raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then handed the prescription to the patient and said, "Cao."
Manbao felt that something was wrong. Although she did not write in cursive, she had seen the handwriting of the teacher, and it was obviously not that sloppy.
However, she did not argue with Dr. Ji. There were more and more patients waiting in line to see the doctor, and it would be a waste of time to see a patient twice.
Zhou Lijun had already hinted to her that some patients looked dissatisfied, so she shouldn't waste time at this moment.
Thinking that there was still a lot of time to come, Manbao put the matter aside for the time being and continued to see Dr. Ji.
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
