Mistakes in prescriptions
It's like a stone thrown into a calm lake!
This immediately caused a huge stir, attracting people inside and outside the pharmacy to point and talk.
"Oh my!" Chen Zhifei sneered and said sarcastically, "I thought you were so powerful, but you made a mistake. What a pity, what a pity!"
"Haha, young people are just unreliable. They just learned two moves and they're eager to show off their skills. Now they've messed it up, right?"
"That's right. This is medicine for patients. What if someone dies if the wrong medicine is used? Even if no one dies, who will be held responsible if it has no effect and delays treatment?"
"You want to learn to run before you can walk? Look, boss, you have to punish him severely. Otherwise, other apprentices will follow suit and our pharmacy's century-old reputation will be ruined!"
People around started to blame.
Pu Xingxian looked strange, and handed the prescription to the apprentice beside him: "Pass it on, let everyone have a look!"
"yes!"
The apprentice bowed and agreed, and did it quickly!
Everyone didn't understand what Pu Xingxian meant, but they still took the prescription seriously and checked it carefully one by one.
"The shopkeeper still wants to protect him?" Chen Zhifei said dissatisfiedly: "Everyone has seen the prescription, right? Everyone present here is an expert in dispensing medicine for many years. Although the dosage of licorice on the prescription is a bit vague, those who are familiar with the Chen's Materia Medica should know that the licorice in the Guben Santong Decoction is three cents, not five cents!"
"Yes, that's true!"
"It is common for pharmacists to have sloppy handwriting. We cannot just follow the prescription when dispensing medicine. We have to memorize the prescription first."
"Young people are young people, too reckless. They want to get medicine before they have memorized the Materia Medica. How can it be so simple?"
"You can't even tell the difference between three coins and five coins? Even though the writing is blurry and the ink has spread, it's still easy to tell apart, right?"
All the apprentices spoke up in agreement.
Pu Xingxian ignored them, but looked at the white-haired Pharmacist Liu and asked, "Old Liu, this prescription was written by you, so tell me yourself."
"This?" Pharmacist Liu was a little embarrassed. After a long silence, he forced himself to smile and said, "The dosage of licorice in the prescription is indeed five cents, not three cents. This little brother did not make a mistake!"
"Huh? How come?"
Chen Zhifei and others all raised their heads in astonishment.
But everyone was not stupid and could see Pharmacist Liu's embarrassment at a glance.
He clearly wrote three cents, but now after reading the prescription he seemed to have discovered something and changed it to five cents.
In other words, Pharmacist Liu prescribed the wrong medicine, but Wei Han got the right one?
Thinking of this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
There was a hint of weirdness in the looks they gave Wei Han.
What's wrong with this guy? Is it that a blind cat has caught a dead mouse?
"Wei Han, tell me!" Pu Xingxian smiled gently and said, "Why is it five cents, not three cents?"
"My friend!" Wei Han said calmly, "It is indeed recorded in Chen's Materia Medica that the basic dosage of licorice in the Guben Santong Decoction is three grams, but the prescription is never fixed, but adjusted according to the patient's symptoms."
"Doctor Liu's patient should be a tall and strong man. His injuries are quite serious and he urgently needs to strengthen his body and relieve blood stasis. Therefore, the dosage is larger than the basic prescription."
"That's why Dr. Liu used an astonishing seven qian of both aconite and schisandra in his prescription. Licorice is the most important of all medicines and has the effect of harmonizing all medicines. How could he use only three qian?"
After Wei Han's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
Doctor Liu's eyes flashed with embarrassment and shame, and he quickly clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said, licorice really needs five cents. My handwriting is a bit sloppy, and I almost caused you to misunderstand. I'm so ashamed!"
Pu Xingxian was too lazy to expose him. He turned to look at Chen Zhifei and others and asked, "Any more questions?"
Chen Zhifei didn't dare to say anything else, his face flushed red.
The other apprentices also looked confused.
What kind of god is this? Can you see through the loopholes in the prescription at a glance?
Although the principles are very simple, the interactions between the main, auxiliary, and adjuvant ingredients in the prescription are extremely complex, and a slight change in the dosage will cause a major change in the efficacy of the medicine.
Some apprentices spend half their lives studying but still only know how to prescribe medicine by following prescriptions.
Doesn't Wei Hanlu's skill mean that he has the qualifications to be a doctor?
"Have you memorized the Chen's Materia Medica?" Pu Xingxian asked with a hint of emotion.
"Not bad!" Wei Han nodded and admitted generously: "It's just some basic skills and basic formulas. Today is the fifth day. It's reasonable to write down everything, right?"
His Versailles-like words left everyone speechless.
Is it reasonable? That's reasonable, sir!
Everyone recalled how they had worked hard every night to memorize the basic formulas, and they felt sad. They looked at him as if he were a monster.
Wei Han accepted this calmly!
He was happy to reveal his medical talent.
After all, this can improve his difficult situation.
At the same time, this is just the tip of the iceberg of his many cards.
What outsiders see is always the trump card he wants others to see.
Seeing this, Pu Xingxian became interested again and asked, "Tell me, what are the characteristics of Ophiopogon japonicus?"
"Ophiopogon japonicus, also known as the immortal grass, has clustered leaves, narrow linear, blunt or sharp tips, narrow bases, sheath-shaped petioles, and thin membranes on both sides. It has a faint fragrance, slightly sweet taste, and is slightly cold in nature. It tastes sweet and slightly bitter. It has the effects of nourishing yin, promoting body fluid, moistening the lungs and clearing the heart." Wei Han didn't even need to think and spoke directly.
Pu Xingxian asked about dozens of medicinal herbs again.
Wei Han always answered with ease, never hesitating for the slightest.
"Not bad, not bad! It seems that you have not only memorized the Chen's Materia Medica by heart, but you have also thoroughly mastered the Basic Medicinal Materials Identification Atlas. Many apprentices who have been in school for more than ten years are not as good as you!" Pu Xingxian was shocked and said, "You are more talented than I thought. Wei Han, are you willing to be my last disciple?"
"Closed disciple?"
"Mr. Pu wants to accept a disciple?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and even several doctors couldn't help but show surprise!
You have to know that Pu Xingxian is the best doctor in Qingshan County. There are countless people who want to study under him, but he only accepted two disciples.
The eldest disciple among them is Doctor Xie standing next to him!
The second disciple was said to be missing and seemed to have been brutally murdered by bandits.
Pu Xingxian hasn't taught students in person for many years, but now he can't help but be moved by Wei Han's talent. This shows how amazing Wei Han's talent is!
"Yes, I will. I will pay my respects to you, Master!"
Wei Han certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse such a good thing.
Putting aside the question of whether he could learn any skills, the title of Pu Xingxian's last disciple was a good excuse.
Once he puts it on, ordinary people dare not touch him easily.
Therefore, Wei Han didn't think twice and decided to perform the ceremony.
"Hahaha, my dear disciple, there is no need to be like this." Pu Xingxian laughed and supported him, saying intimately: "In fact, when I tested you on medicinal material theory last time, I already had the idea of accepting you as my disciple, but I just wanted to observe your character for a while longer."
"Now that I see that you have such outstanding talent, I dare not be so arrogant anymore, lest someone else take you in first!"
"Hahaha!"
Several doctors laughed.
Doctor Liu even joked, "If the shopkeeper doesn't accept you, I will rush to accept you. This kind of talent is destined to be a great doctor in the country, and it is rare."
"Yes!" Doctor Xie also smiled and said in a friendly manner: "Congratulations to the master for having another good disciple. Hello, little junior brother! I am the eldest disciple under the master's name. You can call me Senior Brother Cheng Yong. From now on, we are all family. If you have any problems, just come to me."
"Hello, Senior Brother!"
Wei Han greeted him cheerfully, looking very happy.
The apprentices around him all had red eyes of envy.
The third-class apprentice who was criticized by thousands of people just now has now become Pu Xingxian's closed disciple. Although it seems that his level and treatment have not changed much, his status has undergone a drastic change.
Even the doctors had to speak to him in a friendly manner.
How can this not make people jealous? People like Chen Zhifei have long been itching with hatred.
