"Okay, I understand!"
Su Zhengnan nodded, then quickly returned to his clinic.
As soon as Su Zhengnan entered his traditional Chinese medicine clinic, he saw that it was already full of people, and they all turned to look at him.
"Dr. Su is back! Please take a look at us, I'm in so much pain!"
A boy called out to Su Zhengnan as if he had seen a savior.
Su Zhengnan walked straight to his desk and sat down, saying to the group of students in front of him, "Line up one by one, don't make a mess, who wants to go first?"
"Show it to me first, I was the first one here."
The boy who had greeted Su Zhengnan earlier walked up with a smile and skillfully extended his arm.
Su Zhengnan glanced at him, then reached out and placed his hand on the other man's wrist, asking, "Are you feeling unwell? Your complexion looks a bit yellowish. Have you been eating irregularly lately?"
"Wow, Dr. Su, you're amazing! I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already figured this out!"
The boy smiled and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "I've been eating irregularly lately, busy playing games with my classmates. It's quite profitable, so I've been staying up all night playing online games!"
During this period, online games could indeed make money. In the early days of the industry, many professional game operators emerged across the country.
For example, online games such as "Heaven's Purgatory", "A3", "MapleStory", and "Azure Snow Romance Online".
Su Zhengnan had played many online games in his previous life, but none of them involved spending real money. In contrast, those wealthy tycoons who spent money on in-game purchases were incredibly extravagant!
After taking the boy's pulse.
Su Zhengnan said calmly, "These symptoms are caused by staying up too late and having irregular eating habits. I'll prescribe some medicine to protect your liver and nourish your mind!"
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan asked the other person for their name and age, and then wrote out the prescription.
"Alright, take the form to the nurses' station to pay. Try to avoid staying up late and eat regularly, otherwise relying solely on medication won't be realistic."
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but give him another few more instructions.
The boy scratched his head and chuckled, "Hehe, I'll stop once I've earned 100,000. There's no rush now."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan chuckled and shook his head without saying anything more.
After all, 100,000 yuan is a huge sum of money for students at this stage, and it might become their first pot of gold.
So there's nothing to advise you on.
After paying the other party, Su Zhengnan finished preparing the medicine and then addressed the students behind him:
"Alright, next one, please!"
A young woman walked over and sat down, extending her wrist and saying, "Dr. Su, I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous lately, and I have no appetite. I saw Dr. Yang before, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he didn't prescribe any medicine for me."
Su Zhengnan felt the other person's pulse and found it to be slippery and rapid, as well as weak and slow.
"Come on, open your mouth, let me take another look at your tongue."
Su Zhengnan said something.
"ah....."
The girl quickly opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.
After looking at him, Su Zhengnan said, "Have you been getting bigger lately? And do you like to fart?"
"ah?"
The girl blushed in surprise at Su Zhengnan's words. How could she answer such a question in front of so many students?
She's a girl!
Seeing the other person's expression, Su Zhengnan immediately waved his hand and said, "Alright, you don't need to answer, I understand."
As he wrote the prescription, Su Zhengnan said, "You have mild gastritis caused by stomach heat. I'll prescribe this medicine for you, and you'll be fine after a few days."
"Oh, I understand, thank you, Dr. Su."
The girl nodded and thanked them, then took the order and went to pay.
Because there were quite a few students coming to see the doctor in the outpatient room, Su Zhengnan sped up the consultation process, and basically only spent five or six minutes with each patient at most!
Soon, all the students who had been crowding the clinic room left.
Su Zhengnan was quick in his consultations and quick in prescribing and dispensing medicine. Compared to the various examinations and consultations required by Western medicine, the speed of TCM diagnosis was incredibly fast.
Ding!
It was past nine o'clock in the evening.
The system's mechanical notification sound suddenly rang in Su Zhengnan's mind again.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing today's daily task: Consult 16 students. You will receive the reward 'Mastery of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica'.]
The next moment.
Countless pieces of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine flooded into Su Zhengnan's mind in an instant.
The Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica is one of the four classic works of traditional Chinese medicine. It is the earliest existing work on Chinese materia medica and the knowledge of Chinese materia medica contained in it can be considered the ancestor of the entire field of Chinese materia medica.
The Shennong Materia Medica is divided into three volumes, containing 365 kinds of medicinal herbs, classified into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.
One hundred and twenty kinds of superior medicines are the sovereign medicines, which are mainly used to nourish life and accord with Heaven. They are non-toxic and will not harm people even after long-term use.
One hundred and twenty kinds of medium-grade medicines serve as ministers, primarily for nourishing the body and responding to human needs; some are non-toxic, while others are toxic, and their suitability should be carefully considered.
One hundred and twenty-five kinds of inferior medicines are used as adjuvants and guides, and their main treatments are based on the local conditions. Most of them are toxic and should not be taken for a long time.
Su Zhengnan's original body owner had naturally studied the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica," but his study was not thorough, and he had not reached the level of mastery in applying the various medicinal properties described in it.
However, with this reward from the system, Su Zhengnan's understanding of the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" rose to an extraordinary level.
This progress is significant for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
That is absolutely the basic requirement, and the minimum requirement, to enter the ranks of divine healers.
After all, if you don't even understand the properties of all Chinese herbs and the principles of herbal formulation, how can you prescribe medicine for patients? Even if you know the patient's symptoms, so what?
The importance of the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica in traditional Chinese medicine is self-evident.
Soon, Su Zhengnan digested the knowledge he had acquired.
It was almost 11 p.m. at this time.
Su Zhengnan glanced at the time and called out to Zhou Zixuan at the nurses' station, "Sister Zhou, it's almost time to go home and rest. Would you like to go out for something to eat?"
Come to think of it, he hasn't had dinner yet!
"Uh, I won't go. I've already eaten dinner."
Zhou Zixuan smiled and replied, "Dr. Su, you can go eat by yourself. I'm off work now that I'm done here."
"Okay!"
Su Zhengnan nodded, then walked out of the school clinic and headed towards the school cafeteria.
