Lin Dan managed to save the woman's life with the golden needle method, and then waved his hand and said, "Carry her in."
"Oh, okay, thank you doctor, thank you doctor!" The strong man hurriedly carried the woman into Xinglinchun and placed her on a bed in the outer hall.
Lin Dan quickly wrote out two prescriptions and ordered the servants to prepare them. The two doses of medicine were fed to the woman two hours apart. By the evening, the woman was much better. Her stomachache was gone, she stopped vomiting blood, and her urination and defecation were under control. Her daughters and sisters-in-law fetched hot water, brought clean clothes, and cleaned her up. When they carried her out, she actually looked somewhat like a human being.
Some of the onlookers dispersed, but some were still standing outside, looking around. If Doctor Lin can't cure the disease, the strong man will definitely make a fuss, and then there will be another good show to watch.
Zheng Zhe sat at the door of Xuancao Hall in a daze, staring at the opposite side. When he saw the woman who had just washed and combed her hair, he suddenly stood up as if he had seen a ghost. Wu Xuancao, who was silently waiting for the result, also showed an extremely surprised expression. She couldn't help but take two quick steps and stepped out of the store, but then stopped where she was. This was the second time she witnessed the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine on Lin Dan.
There was a great uproar from the onlookers, followed by a steady stream of praise. It's only been three or four hours, and such a serious illness has been cured? Although Doctor Lin is young, his medical skills are really great!
Lin Dan ignored the reactions and comments of others, but held the woman's wrist and felt her pulse carefully, and said slowly: "The acute symptoms have subsided, the superficial symptoms have disappeared, but the internal symptoms are still there. You need to take medicine every day and take good care of yourself. Don't eat too spicy, too greasy, or too rough food. Eat more light and soft food. I will prescribe a prescription for you to drink. Drink it for seven days and then come to me for a follow-up visit."
"Okay, thank you doctor, thank you doctor!" The strong man and the woman knelt down with tears of gratitude, and their children also knelt down.
Lin Dan did not support him, but just turned sideways to avoid him, then wrote down the prescription slowly. Her attitude was very calm. Although she was saving people, she exuded a sense of detachment from the world, as if the life and death of others were just a small object she casually played with at her fingertips.
The sturdy man glanced at her secretly, his expression became more respectful, and he even felt a sense of fear. The villagers he brought with him also became quiet, with their heads lowered and their eyes submissive, not even daring to breathe.
The store was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, but Lin Dan felt nothing. He wrapped the seven doses of medicine in oil paper and said slowly, "That's enough, you can go back now."
The strong man stretched out his hands to take the paper bag, and kept saying thank you. Supported by her children, the woman knelt deeply, her expression full of gratitude.
Lin Dan had never been angry when he was misunderstood or even offended by these people. Now that he was worshipped as a god by them, he naturally would not be complacent. She is as her name suggests, her every move is so calm that people dare not get close to her. After dealing with this trouble, she picked up the medical book and read it carefully as usual, just like she did in the past.
Passersby pointed at her and talked a lot, but could not disturb her at all. I don't know since when, but she has become the person she is now, not happy with things or sad with herself, as calm as a pool of clear water.
Xue Jiming, who rushed to rescue Wu Xuancao, stayed in Xuancao Hall opposite and did not leave. He thought: If Lin Dan couldn't handle this trouble, he would have to take his servants to her shop to help. But Lin Dan's performance surprised him greatly, and finally made him face up to her changes.
She was no longer the little girl who used to hang around him and make a lot of noise. Suffering makes people grow. After experiencing betrayal, broken engagement, leaving, and accidentally harming others, she has been reborn and gained enlightenment. Instead of running away from her mistakes, she took all the responsibility on her shoulders. She took care of her elder brother meticulously. In order to cure him, she studied medicine every day and did not dare to slack off. In order to increase her knowledge and hone her medical skills, she began to travel in the countryside.
I'm afraid she learns more in a year than others learn in their entire life. Looking at her calm profile, Xue Jiming felt unhappy.
After struggling for several times, Zheng Zhe finally stood up, walked step by step to the gate of Xinglinchun, and bowed deeply: "Excuse me, Doctor Lin, what was wrong in my previous two diagnoses?" If he couldn't figure this out, he would never be able to let it go for the rest of his life.
Lin Dan raised his head and glanced at him, not making fun of him, but speaking slowly: "When the woman was sent here, she was in extreme pain, but there was not a drop of cold sweat on her forehead, and her face was flushed, her chest had murmurs, and her voice was hoarse. This is a symptom of wind-cold, headache and aversion to cold. Her symptoms of abdominal pain and vomiting are very serious, and her pulse is deep and tight, which is extremely obvious. You just took a quick look and naturally got confused by the internal symptoms and forgot the external symptoms. All symptoms should be relieved first. You found out the internal symptoms and only used medicine to treat them, but ignored the external symptoms. Without relieving the external symptoms and curing her wind-cold, how could you prescribe Baohe Decoction? Baohe Decoction contains radish seeds, trichosanthes, immature bitter orange, green peel and other ingredients, which have the effect of promoting digestion, but it aggravated her wind-cold, causing her diarrhea to continue and she couldn't swallow, which greatly damaged her vital energy. Without eating, her gastrointestinal symptoms will deteriorate sharply, and she will lie down naturally within two days."
Lin Dan put down the medical book and said word by word, "The Neijing says: The best doctor treats the disease in its infancy, and the best healer treats the skin and fur. It is indeed your ability to treat serious diseases, but minor illnesses and pains cannot be ignored. The medical skills and experience of doctors are accumulated bit by bit by treating these minor illnesses and pains. Take the woman's emergency as an example. If you noticed that she had a cold, you would first treat her symptoms with the method of reverse current to make her sweat, and then use Baohe Decoction to treat her internal symptoms to soothe her stomach and intestines. The latter situation should not have occurred."
Zheng Zhe chewed over her words carefully, and his slightly unwilling expression was slowly replaced by shame. He bowed deeply, his eyes flushed, and sighed, "Thank you, Doctor Lin, for your advice. It was my fault that I almost killed someone! I have made some breakthroughs in medical skills these days, and I was thinking about climbing to the top and going down in history, but I forgot the truth that 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'. Doctor Lin is very insightful and has mastered the art of medicine. I have benefited a lot from listening to your words today, and I am very regretful and ashamed!" After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply again, and then staggered into the Daylily Hall.
Wu Xuancao wanted to support him, but he waved his hand to refuse. The man who was originally energetic seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight.
Xue Jiming looked at the famous Dr. Zheng, then at the calm-looking Lin Dan, and some regret appeared in his eyes. After witnessing Lin Dan's methods of saving the dying and healing the wounded and listening to her insights on medicine, Xue Jiming found it was not difficult to discover that her medical skills were already very advanced. Not to mention that Wu Xuancao cannot compare with her, even Zheng Zhe is probably slightly inferior to her.
She could detect the disease at a glance, but Zheng Zhe couldn't even detect it, and almost caused a death. It turned out that she stayed in Xiaofeng Pavilion all day long reading medical books. She was not pretending, nor was she trying to stay in Xue Mansion, but was actually learning. However, in front of her, he wanted to give her medical books to Wu Xuancao and Zheng Zhe, and said with certainty that these things were useless in her hands.
However, reality has clearly told him who is useless. Thinking of this, Xue Jiming wiped his face vigorously, feeling extremely ashamed and remorseful.
Just at this moment, Lin Dan glanced in the direction of Daylily Hall. Without thinking, he quickly hid behind a pillar, fearing that he would be seen by her.
Wu Xuancao was shocked, but she also noticed his unusual behavior and frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I, I'm too embarrassed to see anyone." Xue Jiming accidentally told the truth.
Wu Xuancao was slightly stunned, then looked at Lin Dan with a very complicated look. If she could get those medical books, she should be the one who brought the dead back to life.
…………
The confrontation between Lin Dan and Zheng Zhe soon spread throughout the capital. One is a young girl in her prime, and the other is an old doctor of high moral character and prestige. It should be obvious who wins and who loses, and who is superior and who is inferior. But in the end, the little-known Doctor Lin saved the person who was almost killed by Doctor Zheng. Her conversation with Dr. Zheng in front of Xinglinchun Hospital was also heard by other doctors.
The doctors, who originally thought that the rumor was false, immediately began to praise Dr. Lin highly. "Relieve the exterior and treat the interior" - these four words are easy to say but extremely difficult to do. Even those old doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades may fail to notice them from time to time, so that the symptoms that were not serious in the beginning may become serious and life-threatening.
It is easy to kill a person with a treatment, but it is very difficult to save him or her. This incident was like a wake-up call for all doctors. The Xinglinchun clinic, which used to be deserted, became bustling with people overnight.
Seven days later, the strong man brought his wife to Xinglinchun for a follow-up visit, which attracted everyone's attention again. The woman now has a rosy complexion, a plump body, and looks very healthy. It is hard to imagine that she had become so emaciated and almost died seven days ago.
The two of them thanked him profusely, knelt down and kowtowed, then walked out of Xinglinchun and looked towards Xuancaotang opposite, and immediately showed a ferocious look. At this moment, Zheng Zhe came out, presented one hundred taels of silver as an apology, then picked up his medicine box and prepared to leave the capital.
Wu Xuancao's surgical skills were quite inspiring to him, but many of the treatments seemed fantastic and unrealistic to him. He has made some breakthroughs, but almost forgot the original intention of a doctor. If he does not go out to gain experience now, but continues to work behind closed doors, he will probably get into even greater trouble. He will always remember the saying that those who are good at governing only treat the skin.
When he left, he left behind a medical book on acupuncture that he had written himself, which he thought would be helpful to Wu Xuancao and would also complete their master-disciple relationship. He strode to the gate of Xinglinchun and saw Lin Dan was taking someone's pulse. He did not go forward to disturb him, but bowed respectfully and then rode away in the ox cart.
Lin Dan glanced at him and nodded slightly as a farewell.
Wu Xuancao was unable to keep Zheng Zhe and could only watch the ox cart disappear around the corner of the street. Her expression gradually changed from resentment to sorrow.
