Tian Cai was stunned, and then she remembered that Grandpa Tian had said before that her great-grandmother died of tuberculosis, but she had actually forgotten it.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that God allowed her to come back after learning medical skills. Perhaps it was a gift from God because God saw that the Tian family had saved countless lives in their previous lives.
Tian Cai's body, transformed by the dew, was immune to common viruses. However, to prevent the old lady from worrying, she naturally pulled a mask from her bag and put it on. She squinted her eyes and said, "I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Cai Cai, and I'm a doctor. I can help you."
The old lady looked at her with suspicion, not believing her at all. "Miss Cai Cai, tuberculosis is no joke. It can be fatal if you get infected. You are so young, and you can't call yourself a doctor just because of this!"
"I really am a doctor, with a certificate. I just left in a hurry this time." Tian Cai took out the silver needles he always carried with him from his bag and showed them to her. "Look, I'm a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. I know acupuncture. Otherwise, why would I bring needles with me?"
The old lady hesitated for a moment, but reason prevailed. She shook her head vigorously and said, "No, you still can't come. Even if you really are a doctor, it's useless. I've been to the town and the county to see doctors for this disease, and they can't cure it at all. It's useless for you to see me."
Tian Cai tried to persuade her for a long time, but the old lady didn't believe him. When Tian Xuefeng came over after pouring the water, she hurriedly called out, "Xuefeng, take this little girl out quickly. I told her that my disease is contagious, but she insisted on coming over. She didn't listen at all."
Tian Xuefeng turned his gaze to Tian Cai.
Tian Cai hurriedly raised the silver needle in his hand and said anxiously, "I am really a doctor. I have cured countless patients. Let me take a look at you, Auntie. I will prescribe medicine if necessary and give you acupuncture if necessary. I promise that you will be cured soon! Really! I, I won't charge you if I can't cure you!"
Tian Xuefeng looked at the silver needle in her hand and pursed his lips. He remembered his uncle's words about giving up treatment and said hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid of infection?"
Tian Cai immediately said, "I'm not afraid!"
"Are you really sure you can cure my mother?"
“It’s true!”
This is a must, even if she doesn't have it. Besides, she still has Lu Shui, so how can she not be sure?
Tian Xuefeng turned to the old woman on the kang, pleading in his eyes, "Mother—"
Seeing him like this, the old lady understood what her son meant. She sighed helplessly and couldn't bear to look at her son's pleading eyes anymore. She turned around, took a cotton mask from the kang cabinet, put it on, and sat back in the front.
Seeing that she was willing to cooperate, Tian Cai naturally walked closer and said patiently, "Don't worry, Auntie. I never lie. Can you tell me how long you have been sick?"
"More than half a year."
"Aside from the cough, do you have any other symptoms?"
"She sometimes gets a fever, and after a while she takes the isoniazid prescribed by the health center, and it gets better. But she's been coughing up blood constantly, and since the beginning of autumn, she's been coughing up blood frequently. Lately, the medicine hasn't been working," Tian Xuefeng explained in great detail. This was the information he had to provide every time he saw a doctor, so he observed his mother's symptoms very carefully, and now he spoke clearly. "Before, at the county health center, Doctor Zhong there said this is called active pulmonary tuberculosis."
Tian Cai turned his head and looked at Grandpa Tian. He knew that at this time he had subconsciously paid more attention to medical matters, but he didn't know whether he had the idea of studying medicine at this time.
She felt the old lady's pulse, checked her tongue coating and the phlegm she had just spit out, and felt a little relieved.
Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory infectious disease and a disease with a long history. It was called pulmonary consumption in ancient my country. Its existence today is like cancer in later generations. Although there is a chance of cure, it is extremely small.
Fortunately, the old lady’s condition is not at its worst yet, otherwise it would be too fantastic if she could cure the person all at once.
Seeing the two people staring at him intently, Tian Cai didn't keep them in suspense and said with certainty, "It can be cured!"
Tian Xuefeng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was suddenly overjoyed, and his voice trembled as he spoke, "Are you serious?"
Tian Cai nodded. "But I don't have any medicine with me right now. I'll give you a few injections today. At least you'll feel better. I'll get the medicine tomorrow and prepare it. You'll be fine after taking it for a while."
Tian Xuefeng didn't want to wait even a day, so he quickly asked Tian Cai, "What kind of medicine do you need? I'll find a way!"
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained, "I'm not trying to steal your skills. I'm just, I'm anxious. I really don't want to steal your prescription!"
Tian Caike didn't care about this at all. She had used Grandpa Tian's own prescriptions many times in the past two years since she came here, and she didn't feel any guilt when using them. What's the point of giving someone a prescription now? What's more, the most important thing in this prescription is not the medicinal materials.
"I'm not afraid of you reading it. Wouldn't it be better if you could learn it?" Tian Cai took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote down the prescription for Shihui Powder on it. He also wrote another prescription next to it. "This second prescription is for stopping bleeding. If you have severe hemoptysis, you can use it to stop the bleeding."
Seeing that Tian Cai really didn't mind, Tian Xuefeng took the paper and looked at the names of the herbs written on it. "Lotus leaf, cypress leaf, Imperata root, Rubia cordifolia root, Gardenia jasminoides, Rhubarb - I should be able to get the rest of these. Please wait for me for a while."
Having said that, he ran out in a hurry.
Tian Cai and his grandmother were left staring at each other.
"Girl, my son is gone. Ahem, you can tell me the truth. How long can I live with this disease?" The old lady asked Tian Cai quietly when she saw her son walking away.
Tian Cai was stunned. Only then did she realize that the old lady had never believed her. It seemed that she had to show off her skills. "Take off your clothes. I'll give you a few injections first. Then you'll know if I'm just bragging or not."
Seeing that Tian Cai's expression did not seem fake, the old lady reluctantly took off her clothes. Tian Cai took out an alcohol cotton ball from another small bottle, disinfected the silver needles one by one, and then inserted the needles into her body without hesitation.
The old lady didn't feel anything right after the acupuncture, but after a while she felt wisps of heat surging in her body, and gradually more and more heat gathered.
The heat seemed to move throughout the body, and the itchiness in the throat was much relieved.
"Oh, you're amazing, little girl. I feel much better now and don't even want to cough." The old lady waited for a while and took a few deep breaths. She didn't feel any coughing in her throat. Only then could she look at Tian Cai with admiration. It seemed that this girl was not lying. Then -
"I've already told you, I'm a doctor, a very good one. If I say I can cure it, I can definitely cure it!"
"Okay, okay, Auntie, you were wrong. Auntie, I really believe it this time!"
