Chapter 244 He Could Do Bonesetting?!
The next day, just as Xu Miaolin had planned, Fang Qiu began to see patients by himself.
A short while later, the first patient came.
It was an old man in his sixties.
”Dr. Xiao Fang, please give me a checkup.”
As soon as the old man entered the clinic, he walked towards the clinic table immediately, scratching his body as hard as he could, just like a monkey, but with a painful face.
”What's wrong with you?” Fang Qiu immediately asked, ”skin issues?”
”Yes,” the old man sat down and immediately said, ”I have got rubella for several months and feel quite itchy. Although it got better after having an intravenous drip in the hospital, I felt itchy again a short time later. Do you think that I can be cured? I can't always suffer from this repeatedly. It will torture me to death.”
”Rubella?” Fang Qiu was dumbfounded and then said, ”let me see where it is.”
The old man immediately opened his clothes and showed Fang Qiu his rashes all over his belly.
”OK,” Fang Qiu had a look at it and then asked, ”any other symptoms besides itch?”
”I have always been sweating. I feel very cold once there's a wind, but I feel nothing when there's no wind,” said the old man.
”Open your mouth and let me see,” said Fang Qiu.
The old man opened his mouth. Fang Qiu took a look at his tongue and then felt his pulse.
After that, Fang Qiu said, ”You have a floating pulse as well as a white coating on the tongue. You are sweating, sensitive to the wind, which is caused by a cold or exposure as well as insomnia of nutritive Qi and defensive Qi.”
Speaking of this, Fang Qiu started to write a prescription.
”9 grams of cassia twig, 9 grams of paeonia lactiflora, 9 grams of ginger, 12 jujubes, 6 grams of radix glycyrrhizae preparata. A total of three doses.”
After writing the prescription, Fang Qiu handed the prescription to the patient and said, ”Generally, this disease belongs to Yang syndrome. Although this disease is more often caused by blood-heat and exposure to wind, some serious symptoms may be caused by a cold or exposure and insomnia of nutritive Qi and defensive Qi. You don't need to worry too much. I think you can be cured after using three doses of medicine.”
”Really?”
The old man took the prescription and had a look at it, walking to the medicine cabinet.
Here, Fang Qiu suddenly remembered that he was seeing patients by himself today, so he was also in charge of filling the prescription. He immediately rushed over. After filling the prescription for the old man and advising him how to take the medicine, he just returned to the clinic table.
At this time, the second patient had been waiting for several minutes.
It was a young man who looked normal, but with glimmering eyes.
”What's wrong with you?” asked Fang Qiu.
”I, I... feel sick all over,” the young man said, ”I always feel annoyed inwardly. Sometimes I'm very afraid, especially afraid of the things that I was afraid of before. I feel quite afraid at the thought of them, even the things that I was not afraid of before. I feel very nervous, and sometimes I think that life is meaningless. I always can't fall asleep. What's more, I can hear some strange sounds and see some strange things. Doctor, have I got any serious illness? Am I not be able to live?”
The more he said, the more excited he became.
”You don't need to be worried.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly comforted him.
He could see that the young man was very tense.
”Doctor, could my disease be cured?” the young man asked in a panic.
”Rest assured. It can be cured, but you have to cooperate with me for the diagnosis first,” Fang Qiu said with a smile.
”OK.”
The young man nodded hurriedly.
”Open your mouth first.” Fang Qiu reminded.
The young man quickly opened his mouth.
Fang Qiu took a look at it and found that he had a white, thick, and greasy coating on his tongue.
Then Fang Qiu felt his pulse and found that his pulse was wiry and rolling.
In this case, Fang Qiu frowned slightly and said, ”Your disease is liver Qi's stasis with phlegm turbidity so as to disturb your heart. In short, your nerves got stimulated. There is no big problem. I will give you a prescription. As long as you recuperate quietly for a period of time, you will certainly be cured.”
After that, Fang Qiu immediately began to write a prescription.
Prescription A: 6 grams of cassia twig, 9 grams of ginger, 4 grams of antifebrile dichroa, 12 grams of fossil fragments, 12 grams of oysters, 9 grams of Chinese goldthread, 10 grams of bamboo shavings, 9 grams of curcuma aromatica, 9 grams of calamus, 10 grams of mixture of rhizoma arisaematis and animal bile and 9 grams of rheum officinale for two doses.
After writing the prescription, Fang Qiu directly filled it.
”Take this medicine first. When you finish it, come back and I'll give you another prescription, including some phlegm-removing decoction and gall-warming decoction to do crossfire treatment so that you can be cured,” Fang Qiu advised while handing the medicine to the patient.
”Well, thank you, doctor.”
The young man thanked him for a while and then left with the medicine.
As Fang Qiu returned to the clinic table, the third patient sat down.
”Doctor Fang, please have a look at me. I always feel uncomfortable in my belly.”
It was a man in his mid-thirties.
”What's the matter? Do you have any feelings or symptoms?” Fang Qiu inquired carefully.
”I always have abdominal pain. Every time I go to the toilet, I have loose bowels. Especially when I accidentally catch a cold or eat something raw and cold, the pain is worse,” said the patient.
”Have you ever been to a hospital for treatment?” asked Fang Qiu.
”Yes, but the effect is not very good. It always reappears,” the patient replied.
”Well, what's the color of your stool? Do you have blood in your stool?”
Fang Qiu continued to inquire.
”I don't know. Seems that it has some red and white slime,” the patient replied.
”How many times do you go to the toilet a day?” asked Fang Qiu again.
”Three to four times,” the patient answered truthfully and said, ”but I always can't defecate, and it hurts when I press my underbelly.”
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.
Then he began to feel the pulse for the patient.
A moment later.
