Chapter 701 Free Clinic (Part 4)
Manbao asked her to go to the inner room and take off her clothes to see.
She said it was on her chest, but in fact it was under her chest. The middle part had been scratched. She might have realized that she couldn't scratch, so the more she scratched, the more blisters appeared, but the blisters had already spread to both sides.
Manbao examined her carefully, felt her pulse, and asked some questions. After a while, he said, "This is caused by damp-heat obstruction and excessive damp-toxic fire. You should have come earlier."
The patient lowered his head and whispered, "I thought it was an insect bite, and the wound is in such a place. How can I let others see it?"
Manbao frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Stay here first. I'll give you acupuncture later."
She thought about it and it seemed that there was no medicine on the prescription that could be applied.
Moreover, it was her first time to see a patient with this disease. Manbao opened the notebook where he recorded pulse records, wrote down her pulse records, circled the important part in front, and then wrote out the prescription.
Manbao took the prescription and went in to find her, saying, "I'll give you an acupuncture. You have to come again tomorrow. You can come earlier, or at noon. You can skip the line and come directly to me."
The girl was very nervous and asked, "Little Doctor, is my illness incurable?"
Man Bao smiled and said, "Don't scare yourself. This disease can be cured. I can give you acupuncture to dispel wind, dissipate heat, and remove blood stasis, and then combine it with internal medicine. It's not difficult. But I do have some words of advice for you."
Manbao said: "You can try using cold water for cold compress, don't wash with overheated water, and make sure the clothes are clean..." She no longer mentioned things like softness, because it would only make the other party annoyed, and they couldn't do it.
Manbao gave her an acupuncture and went out, asking Zhou Lijun to pay attention to the time.
Near noon, a servant brought her lunch box. Manbao looked at the time, lowered her head to write a prescription for the patient, then took a sign and went out to eat first.
As soon as the curtain was opened, everyone outside looked up. Manbao glanced at the medical tent next door and saw that Doctor Ji had hung up a sign, and the patient at the front of the line in his tent was sitting cross-legged on the ground waiting.
She was about to hang up the sign indicating she was resting, but she saw the patient standing in the front turned pale and swayed. Manbao subconsciously took two steps forward to support her.
Then he smelled the faint scent of blood on her.
Manbao frowned, handed the sign to Zhou Lijun who had just come out, and then helped the patient into the medical tent. "Where do you feel unwell?"
Manbao glanced at the book in her hand and asked, "Gao family?"
"Yes," Gao whispered, "I've had persistent lochia since I gave birth."
Manbao asked, "Have you seen a doctor?"
"I've seen it and taken medicine for a few days, but it didn't help."
Manbao helped her sit down on the stool, felt her pulse, frowned, and asked, "How long has it been since you gave birth?"
"I'm out of confinement."
"How many days exactly?"
Gao's eyes reddened as she said, "It's the thirty-second day."
"How many days did you take the medicine, and when did you take it?"
"I've been taking it for three days," Gao said with a guilty conscience. "I got the medicine around the first of September. I had a lot of lochia at the time, and I was a little scared, so my family took me to see a doctor."
"Do you have a recipe?"
"Yes, yes." Gao quickly took out the prescription from her arms and showed it to Manbao.
She kept the prescription well. Manbao unfolded it and took a look at it. He nodded slightly and said, "There's nothing wrong with this prescription. You should have insisted on taking the medicine for a few more days."
Gao lowered her eyes and said nothing. If she had money, of course she could eat, but if she didn't have money, how could she buy medicine?
Manbao put down the prescription and asked her to lie on the bed in the inner room and examined her. "I can give you acupuncture, but you have to do it continuously for the first three days. After that, you can come to Jishitang to see me."
Manbao paused and said, "I won't charge you for acupuncture."
Gao's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly asked, "Doctor Zhou, could you prescribe more medicine for me?"
Manbao shook his head: "The medicine here is limited. I can only prescribe you a three-day supply. This is the rule."
Gao pleaded, "Please help me, Doctor Zhou. My family really can't afford to buy medicine. How about you increase the dosage for me and let me take one dose for two days?"
Manbao: ...
She pressed Gao down and let her lie down, then took out a needle from the needle bag. After two injections, she felt very sleepy, her eyelids became heavy, and she stopped talking immediately.
Manbao was satisfied, so he lifted up her clothes and gave her acupuncture.
It can be said that Manbao is the most familiar with Gao's illness, because like his mother Qian and Erlu's mother Chen, the root cause is qi deficiency.
Of course, everyone's pulse is different, but there are always similarities, and among them, Chen's symptoms are the most similar.
Manbao once gave Chen acupuncture for a year, and now Chen can go out to work.
So she was very confident about this disease, and her hand inserted the needle steadily and quickly. She looked at the clepsydra, asked Zhou Lijun to check the time, and then went out to prescribe the medicine.
If the lochia is not clear, it is necessary not only to replenish the deficiency, but also to remove blood stasis and regulate qi. Acupuncture is mainly used to remove blood stasis and regulate qi, but medicine cannot be neglected either.
Knowing that she could only get three days of free medicine, Manbao frowned and went over the medicines on the list in her mind before considering the following.
After she finished her prescription, she went to get her lunch box to eat.
There were no windows in the medical tent, so Manbao preferred to sit outside in the open air to eat. She had just brought the meal and sat down in the open space when a man came up to her, and Manbao was startled.
Zhou Lijun immediately protected her aunt behind him, frowned at the dirty old woman in front of him, and asked, "What do you want to do? You have to queue up to see a doctor."
"Young doctor, don't you recognize me? I'm the woman you saw yesterday."
Manbao leaned over to look at her, and nodded after a while, "Remember, you are the old lady with the stomachache."
"That's right, that's right, the young doctor has a really good memory."
Manbao was speechless for a long time as he looked at the old woman who was even darker and dirtier than yesterday. "You, how did you become like this?"
The old woman waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "I just went to collect relief food and accidentally dropped it twice. It's nothing serious. Fortunately, I didn't lose anything."
The old woman took out a small jar from her bosom, opened it and showed it to Manbao, and said with a smile: "Look, little doctor, this is the pickled vegetables I made at home. They are delicious and go well with rice. I'm giving it to you."
Manbao took a look and felt that it was not as good as what his sister-in-law made, so he hesitated and did not reach out for it. He pushed it back and said, "Just eat it yourself. We don't accept gifts."
The old woman said with a stern face, "Young doctor, do you think my food is dirty?"
"That's not the case. All pickled vegetables look like this. I just have them at home, so you should take them home and eat them yourself."
"No, that won't work. I've brought them all. What belongs to you is yours, but these are my gifts." He kept stuffing the things into Manbao's hands. Manbao couldn't refuse, so he had to accept them.
The old woman smiled and said, "Young doctor, are you free now? My stomach still hurts a little and it's still so big. Why don't you give me another injection?"
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
