Wei Ruo explained, “The symptoms of pneumonia do not stay the same year after year. This year, Taizhou Prefecture experienced an unusual cold weather that we have never seen before. Under such abnormal climate conditions, the appearance of mutant symptoms is possible.

Wei Ruo continued, “Although these patients have different complications, the signs of pneumonia are still present in all of them. Their pulse, lung sounds, and many other symptoms all indicate this. So, I have reason to infer that the likelihood of pneumonia being the cause is the greatest.

Listening to Wei Ruo’s explanation, Doctor Cheng felt it made some sense. Even though he was older and more experienced, he was not a stubborn old man. Doctor Cheng recognized that there were times when it was necessary to adopt the opinions of the younger generation.

Especially in this case, after their group of veteran doctors could not effectively treat the disease using their past experiences, listening to new suggestions might offer a new way out.

“In that case, it may indeed be feasible to adjust the current pneumonia „ treatment method to see if it can have a beneficial effect on this disease,” Doctor Cheng remarked.

He then asked the other attendees, “What do you all think?”

The others expressed support. At this moment, everyone was united in their desire to aid the recovery of the sick, reduce deaths, and decrease the number of cases. Protecting the citizens also meant protecting their own families.

No one cared about who earned more credit, nor did anyone worry about whether their knowledge had been insulted.

Those with great medical skills also have their own weaknesses, and they were unashamed and unwilling to lose to a young person.

After determining the path forward, they began to discuss the prescriptions.

They communicated and coordinated in blending the medicines.

After a morning of discussion, the group settled on a new prescription.

“We’ll administer this medication to a few of the younger patients first, Doctor Cheng suggested.

Wei Ruo and the other doctors agreed with Doctor Cheng1 s proposal.

Their decision was not biased towards any side, but they reasoned that if an unpredictable error occurred, younger individuals with stronger bodies could withstand the effects and would give them an opportunity for remedy.

Even though this approach was risky and could potentially harm some patients1 health, it was the most practical and effective solution at the moment.

They could not afford to take their time and investigate more. The longer the delay, the more people would die.

In the afternoon, Wei Ruo and several other doctors attended to the selected patients.

The patient chosen was the bailiff of the magistrate, who was forty years old and strong. He and his family had given consent for Wei Ruo and the others to treat him.

In addition to administering medication, Wei Ruo also planned to perform acupuncture auxiliary treatment on the patient.

When Wei Ruo was applying acupuncture, Doctor Cheng and the others were watching. They were amazed to find that this young man called Xu Heyou was talented. Despite his age, his acupuncture techniques were skilled and exquisite, far surpassing the seasoned doctors.

After Wei Ruo finished the acupuncture, Doctor Cheng who had been silent for a while, couldn’t help but speak. “Master Xu, I never expected that you, despite being so young, could handle acupuncture so expertly!

Wei Ruo replied, “Doctor Cheng, you’re praising me too much. I still have a lot to learn from you all.”

Wei Ruo, like everyone else, didn’t become arrogant just because she was excelling at something. She recognized that these seasoned doctors might have skills she didn’t master yet. She needed to learn more.

After administering the acupuncture, Wei Ruo instructed the patient to take the medication before resting.

Their medicine was not a miracle drug; even if it worked, it would take some time to take effect. During this period, Wei Ruo and the others would take turns in keeping watch.

The others would not rest either. Some brewed medicines, some processed the herbs, some consulted medical books, and some gave instructions to Madam Yuan’s subordinates. Everyone did their part; no one slacked off.
