Chapter 283 - : I Feel Hopeless as Well (1/2)
After bantering with them for a while, Su Hang quickly got all the medicine together and took it over to them. His suburban residence was close to the ranch, so it only took him ten minutes to get there.
However, when he saw what the medicine was that Yun Xi had prescribed for Jiang Chenghuan, Su Hang looked shocked.
“Nice job, kiddo. This girl doesn’t prescribe medicine for just anyone. Moreover, the last time she prescribed medicine for the eldest heir, my dad said that her prescription formulas were priceless. Not only were the medical ingredients extremely precise, but they were also extremely effective. There is hope for your disease.”
“Really?” Jiang Chenghuan didn’t believe him. He simply thought that he was exaggerating.
“If it’s really so priceless, then why didn’t you go to study Chinese medicine?”
“I had no choice because I’m Young Marshal Mu’s personal doctor. When treating men like him, Chinese medicine isn’t as effective as Western medicine. The profession requires specialty. Chinese medicine is quite boring, and you have to have more than ten years’ foundation of knowledge. Plus, its curative effect is slow, and many people don’t believe in Chinese medicine anymore. I originally studied Chinese medicine in order to inherit my father’s mantle, but I gave up and decided to learn Western medicine instead. My knowledge of Chinese medicine is less than one-third of this girl’s, but I found that this girl’s Western medical knowledge is comparable to mine.”
“Really…”
“What are you two whispering about?” Yun Xi stepped forward and took the sliced ginger that had been brought by Su Hang. “Young Marshal Mu has had an allergic reaction. I think we should go back.”
“Oh? Why didn’t you say so earlier! Has he taken any allergy medication?”
“He has already. However, the weather is getting dry, so allergy medication alone isn’t effective. When he gets home, the butler needs to brew Ginseng water for him to take orally. It will heal quickly then.”
“Is that useful? We all take Western medicine for allergies.”
“Scutellaria baicalensis contains the active ingredient baicalin, which inhibits the release of allergic mediators by inhibiting the enzymatic activation system of mast cells, thereby effectively inhibiting allergic reactions of types i, ii, and iv. Moreover, scutellaria water can also reduce capillaries. The permeability of blood vessels inhibits inflammation and relieves skin allergies such as congestion, flus.h.i.+ng, exudation, and itching.”
After a pause, Yun Xi looked at Su Hang with an airy smile and said jokingly, “Doctor Su, if your dad knew how useless you were, he might use a whip on you.”
The Su family had been doctors for generations, and it was a pity that now, during Su Hang’s generation, Western medicine was considered to be more effective while Chinese medicine was ignored.
Su Hang shrugged and spread his hands out, helpless. “What can I do? I feel hopeless as well.”
