Chapter 271 - See a Patient in the Dormitory (2/2)
...
... ”Yes,” Xiao Gao nodded and said, ”in terms of food, I eat fried food a lot.”
...
... ”Hmm,” Fang Qiu nodded and said, ”give me your hand and I'll feel your pulse.”
...
A moment later, Fang Qiu stopped.
”Your pulse is rapid and strong.”
...
... After feeling the pulse, Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, ”Sit straight. Let me give you a checkup.”
Xiao Gao did as he was told.
Fang Qiu started.
He directly found the fifth vertebra and pressed down.
”Does it hurt?” asked Fang Qiu.
...
...
”No.” Xiao Gao shook her head.
...
”Does it hurt?” Fang Qiu pressed on the same point in another direction.
”It also doesn't hurt.”
Xiao Gao shook his head again.
...
... ”OK,” Fang Qiu nodded and said, ”there is no tender point in the fifth vertebra. As things stand, the doctor of Western Medicine should only get some skin cells that resemble the lupus erythematosus from your red skin.”
...
... After that, Fang Qiu smiled and added, ”Xiao Gao, your disease is not lupus erythematosus.”
...
... ”Ah?” Xiao Gao was surprised and said, ”But I have already gone to the hospitals for a checkup and several doctors from different hospitals said it was lupus erythematosus.”
...
... ”I think that they did not examine you accurately,” Fang Qiu said, ”as per my diagnosis, your disease should be Yangming fever, the so-called Yangming non-coldness. Moreover, you have a muggy lung and phlegm accumulation.”
”Because Yangming is overheated, your physical strength declines in the afternoon. Yangming fever always occurs in the afternoon.”
”In addition, you don't have a tender point in the fifth vertebra, so I'm sure that you don't have lupus erythematosus.”
...
Speaking of this, Fang Qiu immediately turned around, picked up the paper and pen on his desk, and began to write a prescription.
”250 grams of gypsum fibrosum, 25 grams of rhizoma anemarrhenae, 15 grams of Chinese honey locust, ten jujubes, 15 grams of scutellaria baicalensis, 15 grams of golden cypress, 10 grams of goldthread, 15 grams of fructus amomi, 15 grams of liquorice, 25 grams of dwarf lilyturf, 15 grams of Chinese yam, 15 grams of poria cocos, and 15 grams of sophora flavescens.”
...
... After that, Fang Qiu handed the prescription to Xiao Gao and said, ”You can get the medicine in school pharmacy. Take 3 doses first.”
”OK.”
Xiao Gao nodded.
”In addition, you can buy a box of comfrey balm to apply to the itchy areas.” Fang Qiu added.
...
... ”Is it really not lupus erythematosus? Can I be cured by taking this medicine?”
Xiao Gao was still worried.
”After all, my illness has been diagnosed as lupus erythematosus by several hospitals. Why did Fang Qiu say no?”
...
... ”It's not lupus erythematosus,” Fang Qiu shook his head with certainty and said, ”the reason why I give you this prescription is that it is a mixture of Baihu Tang and Essence-preserving Pill for Epidemic Febrile Diseases.”
”Yangming fever will be removed immediately by a large dose of gypsum fibrosum. Scutellaria baicalensis, golden cypress, and goldthread can remove the dampness and fever in your stomach. Yang needs to be sealed up. Essence-preserving Pill can be used to bring down the dropping Yang heat into the kidney and seal it up.”
”The Chinese honey locust in the prescription can be used for this. Sophora flavescens and scutellaria baicalensis can remove dampness and fever in the liver. Dwarf lilyturf and Chinese yam can moisten your lung and eliminate dampness from urine.”
...
Hearing that, the three of them and Xiao Gao all gawked at Fang Qiu in shock.
...
They thought that even if Fang Qiu got the Physician's Qualification Certificate, he could only examine patients, feel the pulse, and write a prescription. But they did not expect that Fang Qiu not only could examine patients but also could state the knowledge clearly, logically, and strictly.
”I see. Thank you, Fang Qiu.”
Xiao Gao thanked him.
After hearing Fang Qiu's explanation, he suddenly became confident.
...
From the beginning, he just doubted whether Fang Qiu had the ability to examine him, so he would be skeptical about whatever Fang Qiu would say, especially when he heard Fang Qiu said that he did not have lupus erythematosus.
...
He definitely preferred to trust hospitals than Fang Qiu.
”What's more, lupus erythematosus is the diagnosis result of several hospitals. Fang Qiu is just a student. Although he does well in study and has excellent abilities, he can't be as awesome as the doctors in the hospital, right?”
...
...
However, when Fang Qiu gave his reasons, Xiao Gao was surprised somehow. He also read a lot of medical books for this disease and had an impression on what Fang Qiu had said, so he could be sure that what Fang Qiu said was true.
Just with this, he became confident.
At least, it was uncommon for a person to be able to analyze his symptoms to such an extent. Even the doctors from the hospitals could rarely do this.
”You're welcome.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
”Then I will go to get medicine first. If I get better, I will tell you immediately,” Xiao Gao said and then ran towards the pharmacy at once.
...
...
No sooner had he left than the three of them gave a thumbs-up to Fang Qiu together.
...
... ”Awesome, the youngest,” Sun Hao smiled and said, ”looks like a doctor.”
”What do you mean by 'looks like'? The youngest is really something, OK?”
... Zhou Xiaotian also echoed immediately. ”You are really excellent at seeing patients!”
...
... ”I used to see a doctor of Chinese Medicine,” Zhu Benzheng said, ”according to my observation, the performance of the youngest is not worse than the old doctor of Chinese Medicine!”
”Can you teach us, the youngest?” Sun Hao asked.
...
At the sound of this, the other two people also said that they wanted to learn.
...
... ”Yes,” Fang Qiu nodded and said, ”the premise is to read 'Binhu Pulse Study' ten times.”
...
Upon hearing that, the three of them went to look for the book immediately.
The shock that Fang Qiu had given to them was too huge. As the classmates who were in the same dormitory and in the same academic year, they had to study harder since Fang Qiu had been so awesome.
...
But here, Fang Qiu went back to bed and continued to watch the copper coins.
So far, there had been five copper coins hanging before his eyes.
