Under a magnifying glass, a tiny red dot, countless times smaller than the tip of a pin, appeared on the skin behind Wang Shufang's ear.
"What is this?" The doctor frowned slightly, recalling Wang Shufang's previous description, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Was she bitten by something? Is it an allergic reaction? But... apart from the pain, there don't seem to be any other allergic symptoms."
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yun Youtian and said, "My preliminary diagnosis is that it is an allergy. However, because it is a brain issue, it is actually very complicated. I don't have any instruments to assist in the diagnosis, so I can't be sure if this diagnosis is accurate."
"My suggestion is to try treating it as an allergy first, with pain relief as an adjunct. If that doesn't work, then my suggestion is either to try a large hospital, or... to find a traditional doctor with better medical skills."
China had only been in contact with the Western world for two or three decades. Some of the rapid and effective treatments in Western medicine had gained considerable attention in society, to the point that people at that time held Western medicine in high regard. Even people in rural areas preferred to see Western doctors rather than traditional doctors.
However, at this time, Western medicine and traditional medicine practitioners rarely rejected each other. While they didn't deliberately praise each other, they also didn't intentionally belittle each other. More often than not, they believed that each had its own strengths.
For example, the doctor treating Wang Shufang today still believes that traditional doctors have more methods when faced with "difficult and complicated diseases" with unclear causes. Although it may not be effective, it's worth a try, even if it seems hopeless.
However, while doctors don't criticize each other, the general public has been "brainwashed" and still tends to trust Western medicine more.
So, although Yun Youtian hesitated for a moment, he still gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Doctor, please treat her first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
Going to a major hospital is out of the question.
You could consider seeing a traditional doctor. However, if doctors who have learned 'advanced medical techniques' from foreigners can't cure it, what about those traditional doctors...?
If all else fails... maybe we should go and invite a shaman to perform some rituals...
Yun Youtian thought to himself.
However, I still feel that it should be treated first.
Having received the patient's family's consent, the doctor nodded, returned to his medical record, and quickly began prescribing medication. While writing the prescription, he said, "Her condition is a bit complicated. I'll prescribe some good medicine for her. Hmm… your circumstances aren't easy, so this medicine is a bit expensive. I'll prescribe three doses for now. If it doesn't have any effect, you should prepare to think of other methods. If it works, come back for more medicine."
After prescribing the medication, the doctor was originally going to give it to them directly. However, considering their attire, he felt he should explain things to them first. What if they refused to take the medication because they thought it was too expensive? He had encountered this situation quite a few times.
Therefore, the doctor looked at Yun Youtian and said, "How about I calculate the cost of this medicine for you first? See if that's acceptable?"
I was already a little uneasy when the doctor kept saying that the medicine was a bit expensive, but when I heard what the doctor said, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and said, "Okay, doctor, thank you for your help."
