Volume 1 Chapter 37 The Doctor
After a few words of casual chat, we got down to business.
Ning Sichang asked Xu Jingmo: "You called and said you were not feeling well. What happened? Where did you feel unwell?"
Xu Jingmo had just made up a lie to bring Du Ruo here to have a look, but he couldn't explain it clearly, and he couldn't lie in front of professionals. Ning Sichang could expose any lie with just a pulse, so he simply handed over his arm and said half-truthfully, "I had a fever some time ago, and I haven't been sleeping well recently. I can't explain it clearly. Please take a look."
Ning Sichang placed his fingers on his pulse and felt it carefully for a few seconds, then said, "It's nothing, you're very healthy, at most you have some heat in your heart, it's not serious, adjust your mood, have a more regular schedule, and you'll recover on your own. Or if you don't mind the bitterness, I'll prescribe you some heat-reducing soups."
"No, no, no, I don't want to drink. No, no, no, no." Xu Jingmo refused again and again.
Ning Sichang laughed and scolded, "Why are you coming to see me if you don't want to take Chinese medicine? Do you think I have so much free time?"
Xu Jingmo said coaxing words easily, "How can a hospital compare to you? I definitely believe you. If I really get sick, you will feel sorry for me."
"Get lost, stop flattering me and stop flattering yourself." Although Ning Sichang said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his eyes were quite loving and doting.
Xu Jingmo smiled and introduced Du Ruo, "Grandpa Ning is the descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He has been helping the world with his medical skills. I don't know how many people have lined up to see him. He has been providing free treatment for children with leukemia for many years. He is truly a great doctor."
Du Ruo couldn't help but look at him with admiration. It is often said that "a doctor has a kind heart", but there are not many people who can really do this. How many doctors are paid high salaries in first-class hospitals, and they still have to hint to patients to give extra red envelopes... People who can provide free medical services all year round can really be called "heroic doctors".
Xu Jingmo said casually, "Now that you're here, let Master Ning check you out as well. This is a rare opportunity."
"……", can you use the excuse of 'I'm already here' to see a doctor...
Du Ruo said: "I don't feel any discomfort."
Ning Sichang had a very good first impression of Du Ruo and took the initiative to say, "Come, let me show you that most of you young people are in a sub-healthy state, and your spleen and stomach are most likely to have problems."
Du Ruo stretched out his arm nonchalantly.
Ning Sichang took the pulse attentively. After a few seconds, his brows slightly knitted together and he said "Tsk, let me see that hand too."
Du Ruo stretched out her other arm and saw that Ning Sichang had a very serious expression, which made her feel puzzled. Could it be that she was really sick?
Ning Sichang asked: "Do you have abdominal pain during your menstrual period?"
Du Ruo nodded and said, "Yes."
"Is it serious?"
"It's pretty serious. I need to take ibuprofen every time to relieve it."
Ning Sichang said disapprovingly: "It's so serious and you're still saying that nothing happened to you?"
Du Ruo explained: "I went to the hospital when I felt pain, and the doctor said that dysmenorrhea depends on one's constitution and it is a normal phenomenon. My mother said that she also had this condition and it was probably genetic, and that it would get better after I got married and had children."
"Nonsense! Blind conjecture! It's simply bullshit!" Ning Sichang was very disdainful of this irresponsible diagnosis and retorted excitedly.
Xu Jingmo reacted quickly and asked, "Isn't that actually a normal phenomenon?"
Ning Sichang was obviously very angry, "Of course not! Dysmenorrhea does vary from person to person, but dysmenorrhea itself is by no means a normal phenomenon, it is a disease! It needs treatment!"
He then carefully checked Du Ruo's pulse and said, "Your condition is caused by a congenital cold body, which is most likely hereditary. But it is definitely not something that can be cured by getting married and having children. That is simply nonsense! Are you particularly afraid of the cold in winter? Do your hands and feet feel cold?"
Du Ruo nodded gently, "Yeah. I'm afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer."
Ning Sichang sighed, "You were born with a cold body, brought from the womb, and you probably didn't pay any attention to it. It's obvious that you've been deficient for a long time, and it's already very serious. How old are you, how did you get yourself into this state? But fortunately you're young, it's not incurable, you can still recover if you take good care of it. If you continue to ignore it, you'll easily become infertile in the future, and there will be many uncomfortable places."
Du Ruo was a little confused. When she had her first period, she was abroad. She felt extremely uncomfortable and it was her roommate who took care of her.
I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that dysmenorrhea was a normal phenomenon and prescribed some painkillers, which did relieve the pain. The pain was not so severe every day. It would go away in two or three days.
Later, when I returned to China, I had my menstrual period several times. My mother said that she also had dysmenorrhea when she was young, but it got much better after giving birth to her. She never took it seriously and never thought it could be so serious.
Xu Jingmo looked serious and asked, "Then her sleeping hours are also different from those of normal people. Is that also the reason?"
Ning Sichang: "Coldness will affect the quality of sleep, but the impact is small. There are many factors that can affect sleep, such as daily living habits and life pressure. The pulse shows that your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are quite healthy, but the deficiency of qi and blood is really too serious. How old are you now?"
Du Ruo replied: "17."
Ning Sichang shook his head repeatedly and said solemnly: "Girl, trust me and do as I ask. I guarantee you will recover."
Du Ruo responded without any hesitation: "Okay, I believe you."
Ning Sichang stood up and took them to the pharmacy.
The pharmacy was filled with Chinese medicine cabinets. He picked up the scale, took out the herbs from the medicine box one by one, weighed them carefully and put them into the bag. After more than 20 minutes of hard work, he finally filled a large bag with herbs.
He looked at them and said, "This is a three-day supply of medicine."
???
Even though Du Ruo was always calm and composed, he couldn't help but see his pupils tremble in shock.
There seems to be more than 2 kilograms of Chinese medicinal materials in front of me, 3 days' supply???
Xu Jingmo, who couldn't bear the hardship, showed his mask of pain when he saw this. "How can I eat this?"
Ning Sichang explained in detail: "Before cooking, soak the herbs in clean water that slightly covers them for two hours, then simmer in a clay pot over low heat. It will be basically ready in about an hour and a half. The amount of cooked herbs should be about 1000ml. Put it in a sealed container and drink it over three days, three times a day, before meals. Avoid eating raw, cold and spicy seafood. Fruits are also not recommended. Come back for a checkup after three days."
Du Ruo quickly regained his composure, took the medicine and said, "Okay."
Ning Sichang looked at her with relief, "Be obedient and follow the instructions strictly. You will be cured in three courses at the fastest. If you take too long, it's hard to say."
"good."
Xu Jingmo asked: "A course of treatment lasts three days?"
Ning Sichang: "One week is considered a course of treatment."
“………………”
Xu Jingmo took a look at the bag full of medicine, and couldn't help but look at Du Ruo, and saw that she looked calm and not at all entangled.
Three weeks, three meals a day, 63 bowls of Chinese medicine?! He took it, this guy must be miserable...
