An hour later.
The head of the gynecology department, Wu Shiping, led a group of nurses into the operating room with the expectant mother.
When the mother's family learned that both her and her baby could be saved, they were overjoyed and tried to give Director Wu red envelopes, but he refused them all.
After saying goodbye to Director Zhu, Su Zhengnan took a taxi and returned to the Beijing Film Academy.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing today's daily task: Participate in an off-campus medical consultation. You will receive the reward 'Mastery of the Complete Compendium of Materia Medica'.]
"Hmm, the Compendium of Materia Medica?"
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh softly; he wasn't really looking forward to this reward.
Undeniably, the Compendium of Materia Medica has played a significant role in organizing Chinese herbal medicines. It has provided a broad foundation of drug knowledge for traditional Chinese medicine, allowing people to understand the origins, types, and effects of Chinese herbal medicines.
However, the Compendium of Materia Medica also made significant changes to the previous Chinese medicine prescriptions, which directly reduced the effectiveness of the prescriptions.
For those who don't understand traditional Chinese medicine, the Compendium of Materia Medica is indeed the best learning resource.
However, for true masters of traditional Chinese medicine, the Compendium of Materia Medica is somewhat dismissive.
Firstly, in terms of dosage, the Compendium of Materia Medica is too conservative, using too few herbs.
While this method may reduce the risk of accidents, it also reduces the effectiveness of treating diseases and can mislead practitioners regarding the dosage of medications prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
It's important to know that in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, even a difference of just one or two qian (a traditional Chinese medicine unit of weight) in the dosage can drastically reduce the efficacy of the prescription.
The biggest shortcoming of the Compendium of Materia Medica is its lack of precision in understanding the efficacy of medicines and its inaccurate understanding of the structure of traditional Chinese medicine, which leads to the misuse and abuse of medicines. In addition, many of its statements differ from those in the Shennong Materia Medica.
It can be said that the author of the Compendium of Materia Medica was a botanist, not a traditional Chinese medicine expert, and the pharmacology recorded in it conflicts with the Inner Canon of Medicine quite a bit.
With a whoosh!
Su Zhengnan's mind was filled with countless pieces of knowledge related to the "Compendium of Materia Medica," but after comparing them with the previous "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica," he found that there were still many errors in it.
However, this does not mean that the Compendium of Materia Medica is entirely useless.
At the very least, we can still learn precise knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine from the various medicinal properties and growing environments of herbs, as well as their appearance.
Of course, this is just pharmacology, not traditional Chinese medicine.
This is why Li Shizhen is called a medical scientist, not a traditional Chinese medicine scientist.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway. If I don't have the knowledge, I just won't use it."
Su Zhengnan chuckled and shook his head, then stepped into the school clinic.
"Oh, Dr. Su is back!"
When Zhou Zixuan, who was sitting at the nurses' station, saw Su Zhengnan return, she stood up with a smile and greeted him, "Dr. Su, have you had lunch yet?"
"Uh, I haven't eaten yet!"
Su Zhengnan was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that he hadn't eaten lunch yet.
Zhou Zixuan smiled and took out a cheesecake from the drawer, handing it to him and saying, "This is a cake I bought earlier, Dr. Su, have some to fill your stomach!"
"Cheesecake? Forget it, I don't eat that stuff!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and declined the other party's offer, then glanced at the time and said, "I'd better go to the cafeteria and get something else!"
With that, Su Zhengnan turned and walked toward the school cafeteria.
It's almost 3 p.m. now, and the midday consultations are over!
Fortunately, he had spoken to Principal Zhang beforehand, so Sun Huaiwei was the one who saw the students at noon. As for how well she did it, Su Zhengnan didn't need to worry about that.
After arriving at the school cafeteria, Su Zhengnan ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and then sat down to enjoy his lunch.
He was the only one eating in the huge cafeteria; apart from the cafeteria ladies, there was no one else around.
After Su Zhengnan ate his fill of food, he got up and returned to the school clinic.
Ring ring!
However.
He had just returned to the school clinic when his phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Su Zhengnan immediately pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, Principal, is there something you need?"
"Well, it's nothing really. I just wanted to ask how that student is doing?"
Zhang Huijun's voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly wanting to inquire about the situation of the girl from before.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan quickly replied, "The student's condition is currently stable. As long as there is no internal infection, the student should recover quickly."
"Oh, really?"
A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Huijun's face, and she said with some astonishment, "Dr. Su, are you so sure? I didn't think that student was in very good condition before!"
Su Zhengnan nodded with certainty and said, "The previous surgery was very successful, and Director Zhu of the Third People's Hospital is also very skilled. I believe that the girl's follow-up treatment should not have any problems."
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
Hearing Su Zhengnan's affirmative answer, Zhang Huijun breathed a sigh of relief and then planned to arrange for the student's teacher to go to the hospital to check on him.
Afterwards, Zhang Huijun chatted with Su Zhengnan for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
Beep beep beep.....
I heard the busy tone coming from my phone.
Su Zhengnan shook his head slightly and put away his phone. He then glanced at the time and realized it was still early, so he looked at the task data that had been updated today.
The data panel displayed:
[Host: Su Zhengnan.]
[Bound Identity: Beijing Film Academy School Doctor (Traditional Chinese Medicine)]
[Daily Task: Participate in an off-campus medical consultation to receive the reward 'Compendium of Materia Medica Mastery'. Current progress: 1/1 (Completed).]
[Special Mission: Handle an emergency on-campus incident. Reward: 'Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Beauty'. Current progress: 1/1 (Completed).]
[Hidden Quest: Teach ten students on-campus health preservation techniques. You will receive the reward 'Mastery of the Complete Text of Traditional Chinese Medicine's Zhuyou Branch'. Current progress: 3/10 (Incomplete).]
.........
"Hmm, there's still one hidden quest left to complete today!"
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that obtaining the complete reward of the Zhuyouke technique was no easy task.
More than half a month has passed, and there are still seven students short of learning the health-preserving exercises.
Why don't you go directly to the school's classrooms and talk to the teachers so that the students can practice health preservation methods with you?
