Chapter 98 098 An unexpected success & "Imperial Chinese Medicine" & Measles...
So, what diseases can cause diarrhea due to fever?
If this question was put on the examination paper of clinical medicine, Jin Yue believed that she could get full marks. It would not be difficult at all. But now that this question has actually become a four-year-old child in front of her, she doesn't know how to "answer" it.
Generally speaking, simple fever is unlikely to cause diarrhea. In the afternoon, Long Gongan had taken the child to the hospital for a checkup. It was initially confirmed that the endocrine disease she mentioned was ruled out. Then, various acute and chronic enteritis, dysentery, typhoid fever, malaria caused by bacterial infection, as well as food poisoning and food allergies were ruled out. There was only one possibility left -
"What? You said Xiaolong might be infected with a virus? But you don't know what virus it is?"
"Yes, otherwise I really can't think of the reason why his high fever and diarrhea won't go away." Shu Jinyue simply explained to them the major clinical medical causes of high fever and diarrhea, and then went on to talk about tumors.
But for such a young child, the possibility of a tumor can be ignored for the time being.
"In clinical medicine, there are many viruses that can cause diarrhea, including rotavirus, coxsackievirus, norovirus, astrovirus, and adenovirus. I suggest you go to the hospital for testing to confirm the diagnosis."
Long Gongan nodded and said yes. His wife was a little worried, "But our child is really uncomfortable now. Doctor Shu, why don't you prescribe some Chinese medicine to relieve his pain first, okay?"
Jin Yue had never been a mother, but she could fully understand Xiaolong's mother's feelings. However, they had already taken the prescriptions for diarrhea and fever reduction from another Chinese medicine practitioner a few days ago, but they were of no use.
Jin Yue didn’t know what other prescription he could prescribe for them.
At this time, Zhao Wanqiu had just finished preparing the medicine for the previous patient and the infusion was finished. The needle was removed and there was nothing to worry about for the time being. She came over and said in a gentle voice, "The child's stool is foul-smelling, the anus is red and swollen, and there is a fever. Although I can't feel the pulse, isn't this a typical case of both internal and external heat?"
Shu Jinyue was stunned, and suddenly it was as if an epiphany struck him: That’s right!
She has been in school for a long time, and has been obsessed with finding the cause of the disease and prescribing the right medicine, but she forgot that many times when the cause cannot be found, we can just prescribe the right medicine.
What Chinese medicine calls treating the disease with the right medicine is not as narrow as stopping cough when coughing or stopping pain when pain occurs. Otherwise, why are the methods of clearing away heat when fever occurs and stopping diarrhea when diarrhea caused by other Chinese medicine ineffective? According to the Eight-Principles Syndrome Differentiation, we first differentiate between the exterior and interior. Xiaolong suffers from both the exterior and interior diseases. Then we differentiate between cold and heat. Xiaolong has a real fever syndrome, which means he has heat both inside and outside!
"Use Gegenqinlian Decoction!"
Zhao Wanqiu laughed, "I'm just speaking from my own thoughts. You can see for yourself. I don't have the ability to treat such difficult and complicated cases."
But often the thinking of such beginners is more direct and superficial. Shu Jinyue has studied Chinese medicine for a long time and received professional education, so his thinking has been fixed on the track of "integration of Chinese and Western medicine" for too long.
In fact, if we follow the dialectical thinking of traditional Chinese medicine, the results may be faster and more time-saving!
She picked up her pen and wrote out a prescription, Ge Gen Qin Lian Tang. As the name suggests, the composition of the prescription is right there in the name: Ge Gen, Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, and licorice, a total of four herbs. It is very simple.
Long Gongan took the prescription and looked at it. The dosage of each medicine was very, very small, about five or six grams, eight or nine grams. He read it twice and asked, "Isn't it a bit too little?"
"The magic of this prescription lies in the fact that it uses a small amount of medicine to treat a serious condition. We have a saying in the industry: 'a little effort can bring about a great result.'"
Public Security Long thought about it, looked at his wife, and decided to trust Shu Jinyue. After all, they had no other choice. If this continued, the child would become dehydrated.
It just so happened that these medicines were available in the clinic. While Jin Yue was chatting with them, Zhao Wanqiu took the prescription and went to get the medicine. She had never done the job of getting medicine before, so she was a little unfamiliar with it. She was not familiar with where the medicines were and needed to look for them slowly.
Xu Wenli followed them in the search, while Shu Wenming put on gloves and threw the IV bottle that he had just pulled out but had not had time to throw away into a special unified trash can. These things that contained drug residues, patient blood, and drugs could not be thrown directly into the trash can in the alley.
He himself did not study medicine, but he listened to Zhao Wanqiu talking about it every day and took notes even though he did not understand it.
After the three members of the Long family left with the medicine bags, Shu Linong also cleaned the clinic. Everyone locked the door and went home together.
The spring wind is still chilly, but everyone's face is filled with happiness and joy, and they are all looking forward to the future. The family has a trading company far away in Shenzhen, a garment factory at the doorstep, and a clinic. Although they have not officially started making money yet, things are really different.
If the whole family thinks and works together, things will be better and better.
Sure enough, I received good news when I got home. Xu Duan called me and said that a big order he had been working on a few days ago had come in. He could earn more than 10,000 yuan, which was just enough to cover all the labor and rental costs for the past two years.
This means that his company is really getting on the right track!
Although they both didn't want children yet, it wasn't good for a young couple to always live apart, so he decided to take the train back to the bookstore every Friday night and return to the bookstore again on Sunday night.
"Then you spend most of your time on the road, what a waste."
"Not a waste." How could it be a waste to see your lover?
Jin Yue thought about it and decided not to let his love get in the way. "Be more rational. Why don't you come back once a month and stay for a week each time? That way, you can work overtime on the weekends and get some concentrated rest."
"Well, of course, if I have time, I can also come to see you." Although the possibility is not high, she couldn't leave before the clinic was closed, and now that the clinic is open, she has to work overtime even at night.
But when working hard for a career, it is normal to be a little tired. While you are still young, work hard for a few years so that you won’t regret it when you are old.
"By the way, what about my rhinitis medicine? Do you want to agree to let Xiaolin be the exclusive agent?" After expressing his true feelings, Jin Yue began to think about his rhinitis medicine. He was busy during the day and an idea flashed through his mind. Now he has time to sort out his thoughts.
"What do you think?"
"Cooperating with a villain like Xiaolin is like seeking the skin of a tiger. It doesn't matter if I sell the stomach-raising liquid to him. Anyway, the technical content is not high. Even if it is really cracked, the loss will not be great. But I want to keep the rhinitis medicine."
Xu Duan laughed and said, "Since you don't want him to be your agent, then you can sell it yourself."
"But I'm so busy, I don't have time to bother with it anymore."
"You can find someone to help you. Don't forget that I run a trading company."
Yes, Shu Jinyue realized then. According to the trajectory of her previous life, she had always thought that Xu Duan would do business related to automobile research and development, but now he is still in the stage of accumulating funds, and he now has a trading company.
"Then you can help me sell it. You can help me find a solution. I will ask Mo Shuyi for the drug qualifications and clinical data. As for production... well, what do you think if I open a pharmaceutical factory and buy the equipment to produce it myself?"
It is possible to ask the city's traditional Chinese medicine factory for help, but now the leader there has some friendship with her. If a new leader takes office or the policy changes in the future, she will be completely passive.
"I currently have several prescriptions with proven efficacy. I also want to develop stomach fluid and rhinitis medicines in the future. I do feel insecure when I rely too much on others."
Xu Duan agreed, "I'll help you with the pharmaceutical factory when I get back. For now, just use the old method and I'll have someone sell it to you."
His trading company can now employ a few more people, and he has even recruited several college graduates who have just graduated from foreign language universities. These are rare talents, and he wants to build his own team; he can no longer do everything by himself.
The two agreed and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
Hearing the sound of the door closing in their living room, Aunt Li in the backyard snorted, "What a spendthrift. The monthly phone bill is so high. I don't know what you have to say."
The Shu family's telephone is now shared by the entire Liuye Hutong, just like the one in the street office. As long as one person comes to call, there will be a second and a third. It would be unreasonable not to let others use it in the future. Shu Wenming proposed to charge a fee, based on the prices charged by the post office and the street office, and thought that this would scare away the neighbors, but unexpectedly they became even more willing to come to the Shu family.
Seeing that the phone bills are four to five hundred or even over six hundred per month, Aunt Li is really worried. What does more than six hundred yuan mean? The Shu family is really rich.
As she thought about it, she couldn't sleep. She thought of Fan Qiuyue from the middle courtyard. How poor this young wife was when she first moved in. The family of four couldn't even put together a complete set of clothes. The two children hid at home naked every day and didn't dare to go out. Now, everything is fine. The children have new clothes and are in elementary school. The family eats white rice today and steamed buns tomorrow. They eat all kinds of fine grains...
Look at Aunt Zhao’s family, Aunt Feng’s family, Aunt Liu’s family...even Aunt Qian’s family, who was at the bottom of the list, has turned around.
Well, she is the ugliest person in the entire No. 16 Courtyard now, so ugliest.
Aunt Li couldn't sleep at all, so she turned over and sat up, thinking to herself, you all are doing business, you all run your own business, right? Then I'll do it too, and I'll do it better than you!
Shu Jinyue read for a while and went to bed late. When the rooster in the yard was crowing in a daze, she heard the sound of ping-pong coming from next door. She thought it was her second brother and his wife doing something.
The next day, while eating breakfast, she looked at the yawning couple and gloated, "What were you doing so late at night?"
"Don't mention it. I don't know what's wrong with Aunt Li. She's messing around in the middle of the night, steaming buns."
"She can only eat a few steamed buns by herself. Why does she have to get up so early?" In order for Zhao Wanqiu to sleep a little longer, Shu Linong made his own breakfast. It was just so-so, not delicious but not terrible either.
He knew his own weight, so he cooked a few extra boiled eggs, "Take them with you."
As for Aunt Li getting up in the middle of the night to steam buns, everyone just treated it as gossip and no one paid any attention to it at all.
These days, since he doesn’t have to go to school, but it’s not time to report to the internship unit, Jin Yue hasn’t gone to work and is enjoying his rare leisure time at home. The clinic hasn't officially opened yet, it's only in trial operation. Zhao Wanqiu always feels that something is missing here and there, and she is busy trying to get these little things done.
It's rare for me to turn on the radio at home and listen to the broadcast for a while. As she was listening, she heard a noise of children shouting at the door. She opened the door and saw that it was Popcorn and a few little girls playing house there.
Popcorn is now a ten-year-old boy. He is very responsible and good at taking care of his younger sister. When Li Yulan and Shang Guangming are busy with work, he takes care of little Zhenzhen.
Look, now he has brought little Zhenzhu to play with little Niuniu.
"Sister Jin Yue, are you home?" He greeted politely, then bent down to wipe his sister's saliva.
"Come in and play. By the way, isn't today Tuesday? Why aren't you going to school?"
Popcorn Chicken sighed, "My deskmate has a fever, and my mom told me to stay at home for two days and wait until he gets better before I go."
Aunt Li heard this and said sarcastically, "She is your stepmother. She doesn't let you go to school because she is afraid that you will become famous. Then she won't be able to control you. You know, she doesn't let you go to school because she wants you to help take care of the children."
Popcorn Chicken retorted: "No, it's because my classmate is seriously ill. My mom said that I have caught a cold these days and my immunity is not good. I want to avoid being infected, right, Sister Jinyue?"
Popcorn has grown up, but he is timid, doesn't eat much, and always feels weak. Li Yulan has trained him a lot, letting him do some physical work and sports. She also asked Jin Yue to prescribe some conditioning medicine for him, but he is still weaker than other children of the same age.
Shu Jinyue nodded. Li Yulan's approach was correct. If the popcorn chicken was fine, it would be fine, but he himself had a cold, so he should avoid cross infection.
"Have you taken any medicine?"
"Yes, I did. My mom brought me to see Grandma Wanqiu for the recipe. It's a little bitter, but I drink it up with every meal."
Shu Jinyue laughed. Just then the phone rang, so she let them play by themselves and went into the room to answer the phone.
Unexpectedly, it was Shu Wenyun who called back. Since going to college, she had not had much contact with her family. She did not go home for the Chinese New Year in the first year, but later she came back for a week every year, gave money to her parents, and called home once every half a month on average.
Since she graduated and entered graduate school a few years ago, she has stayed in Beijing completely.
"How are you lately, sis?"
"Okay, where are Dad and Aunt Zhao?"
“They went to the clinic.”
She knew about the clinic when she went home for the New Year. Shu Wenyun paused and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine, everyone is fine, come back when you are free, everyone misses you."
Shu Wenyun was silent for a long time, and seemed to be making a big decision. "I plan to go to Hong Kong City. The development there is better. My major may not be very practical there. I may need to start from scratch to study law there."
Shu Jinyue opened her mouth. She didn't expect that Shu Wenyun's life in this life was completely different from her previous life. In her previous life, she had been working in a hospital and had never gone to college. She reached the peak of her life after marrying Xu Siqi. But in this life, she was admitted to college early and it seemed that she had no plans to enter the system in the future.
Why does she feel like running away? The more suspicious she becomes, what is Shu Wenyun thinking?
As for her attitude towards the Shu family, she has always been indifferent. She is not particularly close to anyone, but she is not estranged from anyone either. She did not refuse her father's support, and she never failed to send money and buy things for him. Zhao Wanqiu received the same treatment.
The relationship between brothers and sisters is actually the same as any other relationship between friends. You have to visit each other frequently. If you don't, the relationship will gradually become distant. Shu Wenyun doesn't like to visit her brothers and sisters, so naturally the relationship became distant. Everyone would think of her occasionally, but after all, it was not as intimate as before.
But Jin Yue's words still moved Shu Wenyun. She hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the path she would take in the future, she suppressed her emotions and said, "My mentor has cooperative relationships with several major law firms in Hong Kong. I want to learn more from them. I may need to stay there for a long time in the future. If you need anything, I will buy it for you and send it back."
"Or, I can send it to Shenzhen City and let Xu Duan take it back."
Shu Jinyue didn't have anything she needed to buy at the moment. "Just take care of yourself. Don't worry about your family. Everyone is fine."
After stating her choice, Shu Wenyun breathed a sigh of relief. People around her actually didn't quite understand why she wanted to live in Hong Kong permanently. Yesterday, Xu Siqi had a big fight with her again after finding out. He felt that she didn't take their relationship seriously and asked why she had to go so far away. He had waited for her for four years and it would be another three years, but she said she wanted to go to Hong Kong and she had to go. What did he think of her?
At that moment, Shu Wenyun felt guilty and sad.
She didn't know what she had done wrong. She was just pursuing the life she wanted. She didn't hurt anyone. It was her fault to send Jin Yue to the countryside. She also lost the family affection between her brothers and sisters because of this.
Now she thought that going to Hongcheng had not hurt anyone, but when she made this decision, she had already hurt Xu Siqi.
Shu Wenyun regained her composure, "Jin Yue, tell Dad and Aunt Zhao that I will call them often in the future, so that they don't worry about me."
That being said, when Shu Linong came back in the afternoon and heard the news, he was still melancholy for a long time. He was disappointed, but he respected his daughter's choice.
"Fly, fly. If you get tired one day, remember to look back. We are always behind her."
When Shu Jinyue conveyed this sentence to Shu Wenyun, she burst into tears on the phone.
Shu Jinyue had no choice but to persuade her that according to this trend, transportation will be more developed in the future. Now people think that going to Hong Kong City is like going abroad, but after a dozen years, when Hong Kong City returns to China, traveling between the two places will be much more convenient, and there may even be people commuting to work in both places. It is really not a big deal.
As for the return of Hong Kong, she didn't say anything, but Shu Wenyun might know and she would understand.
Because of this incident, the whole family had no appetite for dinner, especially Shu Linong, who kept sighing, which made Shu Wenming annoyed, "Dad, if you really have nothing to do, go clean the clinic again."
Teacher Shu was stifled by his words. He could not say anything, and could only lower his head to eat. Xu Wenli blinked at Jin Yue, and suddenly heard someone outside the door ask through the curtain: "Is Doctor Shu home?"
It was Public Security Long who came. He was carrying two cans of food and a box of biscuits. Seeing that the Shu family was eating, he did not come in. He just stood at the door and said, "That's great! It's really great!"
He was so excited that his face turned red. "My son drank the medicine you prescribed. We wanted him to get better quickly, so we made it for him overnight. He drank it three times by noon today. Guess what? He stopped having diarrhea and only had one in the afternoon... Um, sorry, you guys are eating."
Jin Yue called him in, "It's okay, this is a good thing."
"It disappeared in the afternoon, and the fever has not come back. The diarrhea should be gone, right? Do I need to continue taking the medicine?"
Shu Jinyue actually seldom uses Gegenqinlian Decoction, which is one of Zhang Zhongjing's many classic prescriptions. She knows about it, but has few opportunities to use it.
She thought about it for a moment, because it was her first time using this prescription, so she was not sure. "How about this, if you are free in the evening, bring the child to the clinic and I will take a look first."
Public Security Long quickly and happily agreed, stuffed the thing into Shu Wenming's hand, patted him on the shoulder and strode away.
"How can I accept so many things from others?" The Shu family is not short of these things now, but they are also rare and valuable things for ordinary people.
"It's okay, just keep it from us. If they need to prescribe more medicine in the evening, we just don't charge them." Last night, we only paid for the medicine, not the registration fee.
Speaking of this, Shu Wenming quickly asked Jin Yue: "Have you decided how much the registration fee will be in the future?"
In public hospitals, registration fees are fixed. Different levels of hospitals and different professional titles charge different registration fees. Unless special experts have a certain degree of pricing power, everything is fixed in the documents of the Price Bureau. But it is different in private clinics. As long as it is not exaggerated, individuals can float slightly within a certain range. Jin Yue had seen an old Chinese doctor with four-digit registration fees in his previous life.
Of course, they are all experts who are very old, have clear expertise, have significant therapeutic effects, and are very experienced. People of my age dare not even think about it.
"I was thinking, how about 30 cents a number?"
Zhao Wanqiu was shocked. "You only charge 1 cent at the epidemic prevention station, but now you charge 30 cents. Isn't that too expensive?"
Shu Wenming was speechless about the two old people in the family. Why were they so stubborn? He pulled out a document from under the table that Jin Yue had read during the day. "Here, the Provincial Health Department, Price Committee and Finance Bureau have jointly issued a document about adjusting some medical expenses. The fee for individual consultation is 25 cents per session and 30 cents for sitting in the clinic. But at the end, it also said that if there are special circumstances, it can be adjusted by ourselves."
Shu Jinyue's collection of Sanmao was indeed in compliance with regulations, and he was not asking for an exorbitant price.
"Aunt Zhao, you need to change your mindset. From now on, talents like Jin Yue are special and in-demand talents. Do you think she can cure people's illnesses because of her skills or her medicinal materials?"
"Of course it's her skills. The medicinal materials used are pretty much the same across the country."
"Since patients are willing to pay for her skills, why not set it higher? This is a recognition of the doctor's skills, and they deserve it for their hard work." Shu Wenming spoke of this "business principle" in a very logical way. "Scarce things are valuable, and the same is true for technology. Since we want to recognize Jin Yue's technology, we should set the consultation fee higher."
He looked into the distance. "It's not a high point now. It won't be easy to raise it in the future. We can't make up for it from other places, right? The cost of medicine and examinations are actually the same everywhere in the country. They don't reflect our uniqueness."
Shu Jinyue gave a thumbs up, thinking that the second brother’s brain should be used for business!
Zhao Wanqiu was persuaded, and finally they agreed on a number at 40 cents. To be on the safe side, she went to the Health Bureau to file a case, bringing documents with her to prove that they did not set the price arbitrarily, but that it was allowed by policy.
Her own fee was the most basic 1.5 cents per number, which was a decision she made after careful consideration. As for giving people intravenous drips, it was 1 cent per time, which was also stipulated by the Price Committee. She really didn't dare to charge a penny more.
Shu Jinyue was amused by her stubbornness, "Mom, someone like you will never make a lot of money in the future."
"I'm already this old, there's no point in making a lot of money, I just need to find something to do."
Unlike her mother's salted fish, Shu Jinyue wants to turn Jinyue Clinic into a high-end private hospital in the future, and the bulk of her money will still have to come from people, not machines.
In the evening, the family went to the clinic to clean up. Jin Yue originally went to wait for Long Gongan's family to come, but they didn't come until ten o'clock. Instead, he saw the lights on and two or three people walked in. He gained a few new patients.
She was a little surprised. Public Security Long was not a man who did not keep his word, but she didn't know where the Long family lived, nor did she know if they were delayed by personal matters. It was not easy for her to go over there rashly. She comforted herself that since they didn't come, then they should be fine.
***
The next day, Jin Yue officially went to work at the epidemic prevention station. This was her fifth year in college.
"After staying in the epidemic prevention station for a long time, I still feel more comfortable and safe here." Looking at the familiar table and chairs, Jin Yue said with emotion.
Liu Jinbu came in with a big smile on his face. "Come on, I heard that you've opened a clinic. Are you planning to go it alone?"
Jin Yue didn't hide it from him. After all, the clinic was within the jurisdiction, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. "I want to go out and exercise more."
Zhu Daqiang heard this and sighed. Jin Yue had always been unwilling to be promoted to take over his job, and unwilling to be transferred to the district or even the city. He couldn't understand it. If he were not too old and had insufficient academic qualifications, he would have dreamed of working for a bigger unit.
Shu Jinyue spread her hands. She had explained this issue too many times during the period leading up to her internship. All she could say was that everyone has their own aspirations, and her ambition was not to work in a large company.
"Jin Yue, someone outside is looking for you. He said he knows you and has something to ask." Uncle Li shouted at the door.
Jin Yue hurriedly walked out, wondering who this is. When she got to the door, she saw that it was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman. She was sure that she had never seen her before, so why did the middle-aged woman say she knew her?
The old lady came over and lowered her voice, "It's strange that the little girl doesn't know me. My son is Zhang Desheng from the scrap collection station. He asked me to come."
Jin Yue had no impression of the name, but when she heard the scrap collection station and the last name was Zhang, she knew it was Sister Wang's colleague. She usually calls him Brother Zhang. He is not very old, less than 40 years old, and his family is in a difficult situation. This job was given by the organization as compensation because his father died in the line of duty.
Jin Yue didn't have a deep impression of him, because unlike Sister Wang, he didn't talk while working. He did everything silently and didn't fight or compete. So among the several employees at the scrap collection station, his presence was the weakest.
"Hello, Auntie. Let's talk inside."
Aunt Zhang was quite reserved. She didn't dare to sit down after entering the clinic. She quickly explained her purpose in a few words: "My son said that you told them before that if they received any medical books or things related to Chinese medicine, they could come to you. He just happened to have received a few books recently, so he asked me to ask you."
How many books? !
Shu Jinyue almost couldn't control her expression. She suppressed her inner joy and asked, "Did Auntie bring it?"
"I brought it. Take a look. I can't read either, but my son can. He said it's a medical book, but I don't know which era it's from."
There were no mobile phones at that time, and you could just search for an author's name to get a brief biography. For ordinary people who had no foundation in literature or ancient medical literature, it was useless even if the author's name was clearly written on the cover.
"We only know that it is in traditional Chinese characters and in vertical format. It should be an ancient book. He was afraid of getting in trouble, so he didn't take it out to ask anyone. He just asked me to bring it to you quietly."
Aunt Zhang took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, which was tightly wrapped with a clean old piece of clothing and pressed into a neat rectangle.
Jin Yue discovered that although Aunt Zhang had gray hair, a haggard look, and simple clothes, she was very clean. Unlike the last time he went to Sister Wang's house, this old lady gave people a very clean feeling. Look, she even kept the books very well. Apart from the yellowing of the paper and some places corroded by moisture, there was no dirt at all.
You know, these are things dug out from the garbage dump.
Shu Jinyue gradually developed a liking for her, but she didn't show it, mainly because she had suffered enough losses in the past few years, and she didn't want to give people the impression that "I am stupid and easy to bully", so she just watched her quietly as she placed the three books on the table one by one.
The first one is "Zhulin Temple Gynecology", a medical book from the Qing Dynasty. It is not a rare or unique book. You can buy a copy online for 20 yuan.
The second one is "Essentials of Surgery", written by a person from the Ming Dynasty. It looks quite old and has been eaten by insects in some places. It should be quite old and its value is yet to be determined.
The third book is a collection of medical records by Mr. Qi Huanxin, a famous local doctor in Shilan Province. It is similar to the one at Grandma Hu's house. After flipping through it a few times, I feel that it is more valuable than the previous two books. Looking at the preface, it is obvious that it was written by him personally, and not compiled by his disciples or descendants. Such a book has higher research value.
And who is Qi Huanxin? Jin Yue has never seen him, but she has seen his descendants. Qi, a well-known Chinese doctor in Shilan Province who is in great demand and specializes in treating high-ranking officials. He had seen the old man with white beard when he treated Hu Guizhi. Later, he also treated Ma Shuhui's ex-husband for diarrhea, but they didn't find out what his real problem was... Well, how to put it, Jin Yue feels that Qi Huanxin's descendants did not learn much about his medical skills.
It was such a pity that the old man's lifelong knowledge was lost. Jin Yue decided to study his works carefully and pass them on if there was a chance in the future.
She was very satisfied with the first three books and put them aside. As for the last one... Jin Yue couldn't understand it at first, because there were no Chinese characters on it at all, but... well, that's not right. When she flipped back, she found that there were a lot of Chinese characters mixed in. It should be Japanese.
"My son said this was in Japanese. He could roughly make out some of it. The cover was torn off by my grandson. Before it was torn off, he said it was called something like Huang Han Xue. I don't know if that's what it was. He asked me to bring it to you and you should know."
Shu Jinyue's eyes trembled, "Imperial Han Medicine?"
"Yes, yes, it's these four words. The child tore them apart, and I'm not sure."
Shu Jinyue's heart was shocked and she almost laughed out loud. She not only knew it, she knew it very well. Anyone who had some understanding of Japanese traditional Chinese medicine knew about "Imperial Chinese Medicine"!
This is something that was regarded as a national treasure by the Japanese traditional Chinese medicine community in later generations. Every Japanese traditional Chinese medicine practitioner has learned it and needs to read the entire text carefully and preferably memorize it.
Even though the author Tang Ben Qizhen is a Japanese and "Huang Han Medicine" sounds like a Japanese name, it is actually a thorough work of Chinese medicine. Even the name "Huang Han" is a respectful title for the people of Dragon Country. After the defeat in World War II, in order to eliminate the influence of Dragon Country elements on Japan, the name had to be changed to "Kampo Medicine". Few people know "Huang Han Medicine" anymore.
The book in Shu Jinyue's hand is the genuine "Huang Han", which is a respectful title for the Dragon Kingdom and an admiration, not the emotionless "Han Fang"!
This book was later regarded by the Japanese medical community as the highest level of traditional Chinese medicine in Japan during the Meiji Restoration period, and the author himself, Tang Ben Qizhen, was also recognized as the best example of "Western learning in China" and a master of the ancient prescription school of Japanese Kampo medicine. These evaluations were reported in the public media. What has not been reported is that the first edition was published in 1927, but Tang Benqiuzhen’s own manuscript was lost half a year earlier.
Shu Jinyue looked at the "book" in his hand, which had been revised many times and had many mistakes and typos, and was obviously bound in a hurry, and he smiled, a smile from the bottom of his heart.
In the published version, there is a postscript written by Okuda, another famous Japanese doctor at the time, in the second half of the first volume, but it is not in Shu Jinyue's book!
She didn't know Japanese, but she could roughly guess that the book in her hand should be the manuscript that was lost that year, or it might be a copy of the manuscript. After all, she had never seen the handwriting of Yumoto Qiuzhen, so she was not sure whether the book in her hand was written by him himself. But at least judging from the title of the book "Huang Han" and the lack of a postscript by Okuda, this book was not publicly released.
No matter how it crossed the ocean to Longguo, arrived at the inland Shilan Province, how it ended up in the garbage station, or how it was picked up by someone, this book now belongs to her, Shu Jinyue!
What does this mean?
This means that the Japanese national treasure "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" is in her hands!
Shu Jinyue laughed more and more, while Aunt Zhang looked puzzled, "Is there something written on it?"
"If you don't like it, forget it. I'll take it back and burn it."
The more Shu Jin laughed, the cuter Aunt Zhang looked. She was not as cunning as Sister Wang. Aunt Zhang was just like his own mother.
She rubbed her hands nervously. "My son Desheng doesn't have much talent. He just works at the purchasing station to earn a little salary. I was thinking of getting a few more books so that you can choose and reduce the burden on the family. If you don't like it, that's fine. We won't force you."
Shu Jinyue didn't beat around the bush and directly bought the four books at a high price of two hundred yuan.
An average of fifty dollars per book? ! Aunt Zhang was very grateful. She didn't think that the things her son dug out from the garbage dump were so valuable. Instead, she thought that the girl in front of her was kind-hearted and was taking special care of them, an orphan and a widow.
"You are such a kindhearted girl. I will look for it when I get back. From now on, I will let you take a look at anything with words on it that my Desheng finds. Okay?"
Of course Shu Jinyue agreed, the garbage dump is a good thing.
After seeing Aunt Zhang off, Jin Yue had no time to go to work. He said hello to Liu Jinbu and took the book back and hid it in the rat hole. If this book is an authentic work of Tang Ben Qiuzhen, there is no need to say how valuable it is. Jin Yue did some special treatment to prevent moisture and insects, and checked it twice after hiding it to make sure that no one would know about it.
Xiao Lin wants to buy Longguo’s prescription and pass it off as an original patent? Sorry, your ancestors are already in my hands.
Shu Jinyue narrowed her eyes with pride. It is said that people who love to work will not have bad luck. She originally wanted to rest today, but her mother dug her out of bed and told her to go to work quickly because the patient could not wait any longer. Unexpectedly, when I got to the office, the patient didn't see it, but I "picked up" a book first.
She hummed a little tune and felt that the sky was even bluer. In such nice weather, she would definitely go hunting after a rest.
In their family's secret base at the foot of the West Mountain, many things should be ripe by then.
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard the phone ringing. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the ringing sounded very urgent.
She grabbed the receiver and heard the voice of Long Gongan: "Is Doctor Shu here? I am..."
"Long Public Security, what's wrong? I'm at home."
"My child took the medicine twice last night, and this morning he suddenly had dense red spots all over his body. They were tiny and looked like a layer of red sand covering his skin. He kept complaining about itching. If we hadn't pressed on him, he would have scratched a lot of places." Policeman Long said anxiously, and then asked quickly, "Is this an allergy to the medicine?"
When Shu Jinyue heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, "Think carefully, did the rash appear at midnight the day before yesterday or yesterday morning?"
Public Security Long turned around and asked his wife beside him, he had gone to work yesterday and really didn't know what happened during the day.
"Yes, but not much, just a few scattered red spots on the neck, my lover didn't pay much attention to it."
Shu Jinyue continued to ask: "Is it true that once the rash appears, the fever will subside and the diarrhea will stop?"
Public Security Long’s wife quickly said yes.
Shu Jinyue laughed, "I see."
Xiaolong had measles from beginning to end, but all the doctors, including her, just treated him as having simple diarrhea and high fever. The main reason was that she didn't expect that the incubation period of Xiaolong's measles was so long, almost twenty days!
During these twenty days, they had done so many treatments, whether it was Chinese medicine, Western medicine or physical therapy, they were all trying their best to cool the child down. The body temperature was forcibly pressed down and then rose again, pressed down and then rose again, because they had gone in the wrong direction.
I never get tired of it!
Measles should be allowed to come out, and since it cannot come out, the evil qi in the body will naturally find a way to come out through other channels, such as diarrhea.
But all the doctors are giving him antidiarrheal drugs, trying to block this outlet, but isn't the condition getting worse the more they treat him?
The Gegenqinlian Decoction that Shu Jinyue used happened to be a prescription for curing measles!
Shu Jinyue should have been happy, but she wasn't. Instead, her heart was in her throat. She thought of the popcorn chicken she encountered in the compound yesterday. "Long Gongan, how many children in your Xiaolong's class have been sick recently, especially with symptoms such as fever, cough, and rash."
"Not many, just Xiaolong and his deskmate. His deskmate was born with a heart disease. He had a fever and cough at first. Yesterday I heard that he had heart failure. I...wait." Public Security Long held the microphone tightly. "You mean, this is an infectious disease?"
Shu Jinyue said "hmm" in a heavy voice. It was not only an infectious disease, but also a variant of measles!
