A young man in the crowd saw the young master and exclaimed, "It's him! It's him! This is the young miracle doctor who saved my father!"
This person was none other than Shi Tou, the son of the uncle whom Su Ruojin had treated.
The uncle's health has improved considerably, but Stone's mother has suffered a relapse of her heart condition.
Shi Tou remembered what the young doctor had said when he treated that old woman's heart ailment, and he continued to buy her medicine for her heart ailment on time.
He had almost emptied his savings buying medicine from Miaoshoutang, but when he heard that Jishetang had cheaper medicine today, he rushed over immediately. He never expected to see the little miracle doctor.
Kang Tai panicked when he saw the young master appear.
He had no idea what the legendary disciple of the medical sage looked like, but as soon as this young master appeared, someone recognized him. He must be the little miracle doctor from back then.
What should we do?
Kang Taihe's forehead began to sweat. He had never expected that this little miracle doctor, whom so many people had been searching for, would appear at this moment.
His mind raced as he tried to think of a solution.
Su Ruojin walked up to Physician Wang and bowed respectfully. "Physician Wang, these prescriptions are mine, but I do not know this Physician Kang."
Before Physician Wang could ask, Kang Taihe spoke first, "Physician Wang, I have never seen this person before either. This prescription was indeed written by my apprentice. He must be a fraudster who colluded with Wei Bainian!"
In a very short time, Kang Taihe could only come up with this one solution.
As long as you insist that this guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere is not your apprentice, who can say for sure?
He had already memorized this formula perfectly, so who would dare say it wasn't developed by his apprentice?
Seeing Kang Taihe's unreasonable behavior, Wei Bainian was about to curse him out when Su Ruojin spoke first, "Since that's the case, why don't you ask Doctor Kang to explain why this prescription is written this way?"
Prescriptions emphasize a balance between treating the disease and the medicinal properties. Each doctor's prescription has its own logic and medical principles; it's not simply a random combination of all the medicines that can cure the disease.
For example, if there is a potent medicinal herb in the formula, a corresponding inhibitory herb is needed to complement it, so that the potent herb can exert its effect without being too strong and harming the patient.
Simply put, it's about using the principles of mutual generation and restraint among medicinal herbs to allow each herb to exert its strengths and control any potential harm. The proportions of each herb depend on the doctor's experience to determine.
Kang Taihe was delighted to hear this. He had already studied the medical principles behind these prescriptions, so he was naturally able to answer Su Ruojin's question.
As expected, after Kang Taihe's explanation, Physician Wang nodded repeatedly, seemingly acknowledging the medical principles he had described.
Wei Bainian was anxious. This was putting the cart before the horse. Anyone with medical knowledge could figure out the reason after studying the prescription.
This feels like a murder case where you're told who the murderer is, what their motive is, and all the evidence is laid out in front of you, and you're asked to deduce what happened. Anyone with a little common sense about solving cases could figure it out.
Su Ruojin gave Wei Bainian a reassuring look and continued calmly, "It seems that Doctor Kang is quite familiar with this prescription. In that case, Doctor Kang should also know that the medicines used in these prescriptions are all inexpensive. So why does Doctor Kang charge two taels of silver for one dose?"
Kang Taihe was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Ruojin wouldn't argue with him about who prescribed the medicine, but instead waited for him here.
In Xiaoyue Kingdom, although each medical institution can set its own prices for medicines, in order to prevent unscrupulous merchants from taking advantage of people's illnesses and causing them to die, and arbitrarily raising prices so that ordinary people cannot afford medical treatment, the late emperor once stipulated that the selling price of medicines should not exceed ten times the cost of the medicinal materials, and that the Imperial Medical Academy should supervise the process.
However, prescriptions vary from person to person, and prices also vary greatly. The Imperial Hospital only has so many people who are busy seeing patients for the nobles in the palace every day, so they don't have time to deal with this.
Few people among the common people are literate, and even fewer know this law.
