Chapter 42: Dragon Boat Festival Free Clinic (Part 2) You are also very good...
Shen Jiang ran back panting and saw that the original stall was crowded with people. Because the incident happened suddenly, everyone was very concerned about the young man who was sweating in pain.
"Please make way."
After finally squeezing through the crowd of onlookers, Shen Jiang saw two expert doctors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital gathered around a patient. The scene inside wasn't as chaotic as it had been before she left. One was pressing the young man's acupoints, while another felt his pulse and said he had abdominal cold, and the severe pain was due to not having a bowel movement for several days.
The young man was practically writhing on the ground in agony, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He looked horrified. Seeing this, the doctor who had suggested a laxative confidently instructed the patient's family, "Go to a nearby pharmacy and buy some Ma Ren Run Chang Wan pills. Just in case, bring a suppository as well. He'll definitely be fine once he has a bowel movement."
Shen Jiang frowned. Just using Ma Ren Run Chang Wan wouldn't work. The young man had no intestinal gas in his intestines, so even if he took Ma Ren Run Chang Wan, his abdominal pain wouldn't improve. Besides, whether he could defecate was still a question.
At this time, Director Huang, who was standing aside watching the fun, suddenly noticed Shen Jiang.
He noticed Shen Jiang holding a white plastic bag with the word "pharmacy" printed on it, which contained a box of Ma Ren Chang Lun Pills and two cans of fancy drinks.
This damn girl wasn't here just now. Did she go to buy medicine?
Director Huang was practically vomiting blood at Shen Jiang's quick reaction. If this had been a doctor under his command, he would have saved himself so much trouble. But it was this person he hated the most who had foreseen and bought the medicine in advance...
hateful!
The person next to Shen Jiang also saw the medicine bag she was carrying. After seeing the medicine inside, he immediately pointed at the medicine in her hand and said, "This little girl just has the medicine in her hand. No need to go buy it!"
Director Huang gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger silently. He was afraid that the limelight today would be taken by that damn girl again.
Everyone naturally thought that Shen Jiang would take out the medicine and give it to the patient to drink, but Shen Jiang took out a can of almond juice from the medicine bag and handed it to the young man whose face turned pale with pain.
"Take a few sips of this to warm your stomach first."
"Aren't you kidding me? Isn't it time for drinks now? Hurry up and take out the medicine and give him a few pills." The Chinese doctor's face was full of disapproval, and he was very dissatisfied with the young doctor's unethical behavior.
Seeing that Shen Jiang did not take out the box of Ma Ren Run Chang Wan on his own initiative, but instead took out a drink and handed it to the patient, and stubbornly held the can of drink and refused to take out the medicine, Director Huang really felt that even God was helping him.
"Everyone, please pay attention! This person is not a doctor from our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital." Director Huang's tone unconsciously rose as he accused Shen Jiang, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see how much pain the patient is in? Hurry and get the medicine out!"
Shen Jiang wouldn't be intimidated by such a threat in public. She calmly reminded the Chinese medicine doctor who was treating the patient, "The patient's tongue coating is pale yellow, which indicates intestinal obstruction caused by stagnant lung qi. The abdominal pain is because the stomach qi can't descend with the lung qi. Just eating hemp seeds will not help. Let him drink some almond milk first to reduce the lung qi."
Director Huang almost laughed: "You said that these two bottles of drinks can cure the disease? Young people nowadays will do anything to become famous!"
The Chinese medicine expert didn't say anything, but he asked the patient to stick out his tongue for him to see.
At this moment, an elegant-looking old Chinese medicine practitioner emerged from the crowd. His name was Lu Chongfeng, and he was the most senior and experienced doctor in the group. He had just arrived at the event because he had been delayed by other matters this morning.
He was very surprised to hear Shen Jiang's words, which aroused his interest, so he also leaned closer to look at the young man's tongue coating.
Before the original Chinese medicine practitioner could speak, the elegant old doctor nodded and said, "Yes, he does have stagnation of lung qi. The lungs and large intestine are exterior and interior to each other, the young lady is right. Do you have any hot water? Quickly heat up this almond milk before feeding it to this young man."
Director Huang was completely dumbfounded. Why did Mr. Lu actually speak for this girl?
Shen Jiang shook the almond milk in his hand and said, "It's already heated up."
Lu Chongfeng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and urged the Chinese medicine doctor who hadn't reacted yet: "What are you waiting for? Hurry and give it to this young man."
Although the Chinese doctor didn't quite believe that a can of drink could make the patient better, he still did as he was told. After all, with Mr. Lu there, even if there was a problem, it wouldn't fall on him.
After the young man finished drinking two cans of almond milk, Shen Jiang took out the box of hemp seed intestinal moisturizing capsules from the medicine bag and handed it to him.
At the same time, Lu Chongfeng also said: "You can take the medicine now."
Seeing Shen Jiang's movements, Lu Chongfeng praised: "Little girl, very good."
Shen Jiang said politely, "You are also very good."
Lu Chongfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out. This girl is quite interesting.
Just a few minutes later, the young man, whose face was covered in cold sweat, began to have a rumbling sound in his stomach, and then he started to fart non-stop, which instantly drove away the people who had gathered in front to watch the excitement.
The young man said weakly, "I want to go to the toilet."
Upon hearing this, several Chinese medicine practitioners breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of Mr. Lu, he cured the patient's illness with just one move.
The people who had gathered around to watch the Chinese doctor treat their illnesses found it hard to believe that he could solve the problem with just two cans of almond milk and a few pills.
Someone whispered to the people around him, "Don't they say that Chinese medicine is a slow process? Isn't this effect a bit too fast?"
Shen Jiang had good hearing, and with a smile, he explained to the person who was speaking, "If the medicine is suitable for the symptoms, it will immediately cure the serious illness and the effect will be as immediate as a drum."
Director Huang stood there with a look of disdain on her face. And yet, she's still claiming to be treating a serious illness with such gusto? She's such a boaster! She's just treating constipation, and yet she's so mad about it. Even Mr. Lu hasn't said anything. This damn girl really doesn't know her place!
You know, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, "effectiveness like a drumstick" is the ultimate goal pursued by all practitioners. Just like the sound of a drumstick striking a drum, it's used to describe the immediate effects of TCM treatments. But how many people throughout history have achieved this?
After Lu Chongfeng knew that Shen Jiang was not a doctor in this hospital, he wanted to have a few more words with her. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shuhua saw him and immediately came forward to chat with him. Seeing this, Lu Chongfeng had no choice but to say:
"Take me to my seat first."
Over here, Shen Jiang's side also began to get busy. Although there were not many people, compared to the deserted and deserted situation just now, the current situation had gone from nothing to something, achieving a qualitative leap.
Many tourists, after seeing her demonstration of her skills, knew she was quite capable. Rather than waiting in long lines at other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, they decided to visit her vacant booth for a free consultation.
Shen Jiang had just finished seeing the patient in front of her when the next patient in line greeted her with a smile: "Doctor Shen, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here."
The person who spoke was Lin Yunqing, the woman who had recently seen Shen Jiang for medical treatment.
Shen Jiang still remembered her. Back then, she was very ill, her whole body couldn't hide her haggardness and weakness. But now, Lin Yunqing in front of her looked much better, wearing light makeup. Her face was originally beautiful, and now her temperament was gentle and full of vitality, completely different from her previous sick appearance.
Shen Jiang smiled and said, "I remember you. Come, let me take your pulse."
Lin Yunqing came alone to attend the Dragon Boat Festival free medical consultation event today.
She recently closed her shop, and now that she was feeling better, she wanted to go out for a walk and see if there were any new business opportunities.
Lin Yunqing had just been in the health-preserving herbal remedies area, learning a lot of useful information from the teachers. She had originally planned to just browse around and leave, but she hadn't expected to see Shen Jiang there, one of the TCM practitioners offering free clinics today. She had therefore specifically come to this booth to queue up.
Lin Yunqing said excitedly, "The medicine you prescribed last time was truly amazing! I felt much better after taking it for two days. The medicines prescribed by those doctors before had no such effect at all. You are truly a miracle doctor. I was thinking of seeing you again these past few days, and I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Shen Jiang smiled slightly and carefully felt Lin Yunqing's current pulse.
Probably because Lin Yunqing was wearing makeup, she didn't look uncomfortable at all, but her pulse wouldn't lie, so she needed to take a few more doses of medicine to consolidate her condition.
Shen Jiang wrote her a prescription and left Lin Yunqing's contact information. "I'll send the medicine to you when I return to the clinic."
Lin Yunqing trusted Shen Jiang very much and transferred the money to her on the spot. She still had something to ask Shen Jiang, so she simply asked, "Doctor Shen, I didn't know there were so many ways to cook medicinal food. Today, after learning from the teacher, I found that medicinal food can be cooked so deliciously."
Shen Jiang was about to answer when suddenly, the patient standing behind Lin Yunqing interrupted her.
The patient behind her happened to see the amount Lin Yunqing transferred to Shen Jiang. She had initially thought this person might have been hired by the doctor to rip him off, praising the young doctor to the skies, as if he had saved her life. After seeing the figure, the patient lost her composure and exclaimed, "Didn't you say it was a free clinic? Why are you charging so much? You're just ripping me off!"
When she shouted like this, everyone around her stopped what they were doing and looked over here.
Lin Yunqing explained: "I am an old patient of Dr. Shen. I happened to meet her here, so I asked her to prescribe some medicine for me."
The woman was even more dissatisfied: "It was said to be free, but it feels like a lie. In the end, we still have to pay!"
Fang Min happened to be inspecting the activities in the venue nearby. Seeing the commotion, she immediately rushed over to deal with it.
After understanding the actual situation, she frowned and said, "Excuse me, ma'am, our free clinic today is indeed free. You see, if you go to the hospital to see these experts, it will cost at least 100 yuan, but today the experts are working overtime to provide free pulse diagnosis and consultation for everyone. If you don't want to pay, the experts will also carefully check your pulse, so you can rest assured."
"What do you mean?! Do you think I can't afford medical treatment? Do you know how much this girl just charged for medicine?"
Fang Min felt a little impatient, but she still maintained a respectful smile. "Actually, some medicinal herbs are expensive, and it's not up to the doctor to decide."
"Well, then, tell me, what medicine is worth spending over two thousand dollars on?!"
The smiling mask on Fang Min's face cracked a little. She must have heard correctly. She was the one who hired the doctor from Mingxin Hall. If there was any problem, she would be the first to take the blame!
How much? How much did she say?
Shen Jiang immediately explained to the suspicious eyes and the somewhat broken Fang Min, "The prescription I just wrote for this patient is right here. It contains a large amount of wild Cistanche deserticola, so the price is higher than other medicines. If you go and find out, you will know that I didn't charge you too much."
Fang Min was just an administrative staff member, not familiar with medicinal herbs. She didn't know the market price of Cistanche deserticola, so she looked at the Chinese medicine doctor next to Shen Jiang for help, hoping he could tell her the answer she wanted to hear.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese medicine uncle grabbed Shen Jiang's prescription and took a look at it. He said with extreme disapproval: "If this amount of Cistanche deserticola was wild, how could it be just over 2,000!"
At least it will cost several thousand.
The originally noisy discussions at the scene suddenly fell into strange silence because of his words.
It seems that this girl didn't pay enough?
