"Are students these days so lacking in self-respect?"
Zhou Zixuan shook her head helplessly, muttered something under her breath, and looked at the medical records displayed on the computer with disdain.
Although she doesn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, she can still understand the prescriptions written on her medical records.
She clearly saw the words "Treats syphilis, syphilis progression, and syphilis pox" displayed on the screen, and naturally guessed what disease the other person had.
Meanwhile, Su Zhengnan sat leisurely in his clinic, sipping tea, and couldn't help but glance at the changes in today's task data.
The data panel displayed:
[Host: Su Zhengnan.]
[Bound Identity: Beijing Film Academy School Doctor (Traditional Chinese Medicine)]
[Daily Task: Consult 12 students to receive a reward of '1500g of precious medicinal agate'. Current progress: 0/12 (Incomplete).]
[Special Mission: Follow up with a special patient to receive a reward of a 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Suppression Formula'. Current progress: 0/1 (Incomplete).]
[Hidden Quest: The current daily quest cycle is full and will refresh after a 30-day cooldown!]
.........
"Um?"
Su Zhengnan's expression faltered slightly, quite surprised by the reward for the special mission.
Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for inhibiting tumors?
Is it true or false?
You should know that he was currently worried about obtaining a patent for traditional Chinese medicine treatment of tumors!
After listening to his teacher's advice, Su Zhengnan did consider cooperating with Novartis Pharmaceuticals. This way, he could leverage Novartis's strong capital and drug production lines to quickly produce drugs for treating tumors and promote them worldwide.
However, considering that he did not have any patents in this area, Su Zhengnan hesitated about whether to cooperate with the other party.
After all, if he didn't have any patents.
That would put the initiative in the other party's hands, which is disadvantageous for both him and traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, Su Zhengnan did not reply to the other party.
Unexpectedly, the system's task has now given him this reward.
If he obtains this traditional Chinese medicine formula for inhibiting tumors, he can apply for a patent and then cooperate with Novartis, firmly grasping the initiative in his own hands.
But what does it mean to have a follow-up visit for a special patient?
Could it be that he's going to give Zhou Zixuan's father a follow-up examination himself?
It seems that this is the only special patient I have at the moment.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan stood up and called out to the outside, "Sister Zhou, come here for a moment, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Zhou Zixuan responded and then came in after finishing what she was doing.
"What's up, Dr. Su? Do you need something from me?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I just wanted to ask how your dad has been lately. I haven't noticed you mention him much."
"Oh, you're asking about that?"
Zhou Zixuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "My dad has been doing well lately. He's been taking the prescription you gave him to regulate his body. He also went to the hospital for a check-up recently, and the results are all moving in a positive direction."
"The head of the oncology department at that hospital said the tumor in my dad's brain seemed to have shrunk a little, and he kept asking my dad what he had been eating!"
"Dr. Su, you haven't asked about my father much during this time, so I haven't told you about my father's situation."
"What? Does this mean my dad needs to come for a follow-up check-up?"
Zhou Zixuan quickly guessed why Su Zhengnan had called her. After all, she was a nurse, and she had some common sense about medical treatment.
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "Yes, it's about time for your follow-up appointment. When do you have time, bring your dad over?"
"Hehe, okay, I'll bring my dad over tomorrow."
Zhou Zixuan nodded happily in response, and then asked, "Does Dr. Su have anything else to do? If not, I'll go out and take care of my business."
"Okay, that's all. You can go ahead and get busy!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and waved his hand.
"I'll go ahead and get busy. Call me when it's time for lunch."
With that, Zhou Zixuan turned around and went back to the nurses' station, looking as if she had a lot of things to do.
Back at the nurses' station, Zhou Zixuan immediately took out her phone and called her father, telling him to eat breakfast early and come for his follow-up appointment the next day.
Zhou Yannian naturally nodded in agreement and promised to arrive at the Beijing Film Academy first thing tomorrow morning.
............
The morning went by quickly.
After the students finished class at noon, the school clinic became busy.
It seems that since the system's task cooldown ended yesterday, there have been significantly more students coming to see the doctor than before.
I won't say much more.
But the number of patients has more than doubled.
Su Zhengnan naturally understood the situation. He felt as if the system was deliberately trying to cram patients into his life, as if afraid he wouldn't be able to complete the task.
Soon, a student walked in from outside.
As soon as the other person entered, he sat down directly in front of Su Zhengnan and said with a smile, "Dr. Su, do you think my skin condition on my foot can be cured?"
As they spoke, the other person rolled up their trouser leg, revealing their entire thigh.
His thighs were covered with dense, tiny bumps that looked like snakeskin patterns—it was quite terrifying!
But upon closer inspection, it does resemble fish scales.
"Dry, flaky skin that resembles fish scales?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at it and immediately concluded that it should be the so-called ichthyosis.
Ichthyosis is a condition caused by congenital deficiency leading to blood deficiency and dryness, or by blood stasis and malnourishment of the skin.
This disease is mostly hereditary, caused by congenital deficiencies, resulting in the skin not being nourished by essence and blood, leading to rough and scaly skin.
In Western medicine, this disease has a precise name: hereditary keratinization disorder.
This type of illness is generally very rare.
After all, it is a congenital deficiency, which can also be considered a kind of difficult disease.
Of course, this disease is not entirely caused by congenital heredity; it may also be caused by other factors.
For example: catching a cold, malnutrition, etc.
Su Zhengnan glanced at him and said to the student in front of him, "Stretch out your hand, let me take your pulse first."
"OK."
The other person nodded in response and immediately extended their wrist.
Immediately, Su Zhengnan took his pulse and found that the pulse was floating and rapid, indicating qi stagnation and blood dryness.
Feeling the other person's pulse, Su Zhengnan pondered for a moment and then asked, "You must have had this illness since childhood, right? Or did it develop later?"
"It came about later."
The other party answered truthfully: "It was about a year ago. At first, it wasn't this serious, so I didn't pay attention to it. But it got worse and worse later."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan nodded, having already made up his mind.
According to what the other party said, his ichthyosis should not be congenital, but acquired later in life.
Although ichthyosis is rare, it is not incurable as long as it is not congenital.
Therefore, it is not difficult to treat.
All you need to do is invigorate qi and dispel blood stasis, promote blood circulation and nourish the body, moisturize the skin, and clear heat and detoxify.
These terms may sound complicated, but they are not difficult for a real TCM doctor to understand. Prescribing a prescription simply requires following this line of thought to make a diagnosis.
Then, Su Zhengnan picked up the paper and pen on the table, wrote down the prescription, and asked:
"Name?"
"Lin is deep in thought!"
"age?"
Twenty-four!
"Okay, take this form to the nurses' station to pay, and then come back to pick up your medication."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan handed the prescription to Lin Chensi and said, "Remember to keep your skin clean and avoid excessive friction and scratching. Avoid spicy food while taking the medication!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you Dr. Su."
Lin Chensi took the order, got up, and went to pay.
Su Zhengnan prepared the medicine for him and handed it to him after the other party paid, saying, "Remember to take the medicine on time. If you can't decoct the medicine yourself, you can ask Nurse Zhou to do it for you."
"Okay, I understand, thank you!"
Lin Chensi thanked him again, then turned and left.
Not long after the other party left.
Zhou Zixuan walked in and greeted her with a smile, "Dr. Su, it's time to have lunch."
"Okay, let's invite Dr. Sun along!" Su Zhengnan nodded, got up, and walked out.
Afterwards, the three of them went to the school cafeteria for lunch.
The morning passed just like that.
...............
afternoon.
After lunch.
Sun Huaiwei suddenly said to Su Zhengnan, "Dr. Su, I may need to take a leave of absence in a few days. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take care of things at the infirmary."
"Hmm? You're going on a long trip?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at her and asked.
Sun Huai smiled and explained, "Yes, it's my maternal grandfather's 80th birthday, so I need to go back to his house."
"Okay, I understand."
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "It is indeed appropriate to go back and congratulate our elder on his 80th birthday. Dr. Sun, you can go ahead and do that. I'll take care of things here!"
"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Su."
Sun Huaiwei gave him a grateful look and said.
Soon, the three of them returned to the school clinic and went about their own business.
Su Zhengnan returned to his clinic and took a half-hour nap, spending the rest of the time drinking tea and playing on his phone.
At this time, students are all in class, so there are basically no people coming to see a doctor.
Su Zhengnan spent the afternoon idly in the clinic, only getting busy for a while after the students finished class in the evening.
As the sky outside began to darken.
The streetlights throughout the Beijing Film Academy also lit up naturally.
A few scattered stars hung in the night sky, twinkling faintly. The moon seemed to be completely obscured by clouds, and not a single ray of light could be seen.
