Chapter 37: The Difference of One Word
"There's something wrong with the prescription? How is this possible. It was the famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Yangcheng who prescribed this prescription! It was not the first time we had come to him to get a prescription. And with this prescription now, I don't know how many times I've grabbed the medicine. Director Luo didn't believe what Long Chengyu said at all.
"Long Chengyu, Director Luo is a frequent visitor to our TCM department. Their whole family believes in Chinese medicine, whether it is conditioning or curing diseases, they often follow the prescription of the old Chinese medicine doctor to our Chinese medicine department. According to Director Luo, the medicine of the old Chinese medicine doctor can be cured, how can it be wrong. Yang Decai also said on the side.
He knew that Long Chengyu was powerful, but the old Chinese medicine doctor was not bad, Director Luo came to get the medicine for the first two times, and Yang Decai also took the prescription back to the shopkeeper when he worked for him, and the shopkeeper also praised Fangzi.
"Judging from the medicinal materials listed in this prescription, it should be for the treatment of rheumatism, right?" Long Chengyu did not directly answer Director Luo's words, but asked rhetorically.
"Yes, have you seen this recipe?" Director Luo was a little strange when he saw that Long Chengyu said the right prescription. But he didn't think that Long Chengyu saw it himself, but looked at Yang Decai.
"He's only been here for two days, and I haven't told him about you. Yang Decai hurriedly waved his hand.
"You said that you have come to grab this medicine many times, which means that you have taken the medicine for an unknown number of courses, but it has not worked, right?" Long Chengyu said again. This time, Director Luo was a little moved.
"It's not that it doesn't work. The effect is there, but it doesn't take long after stopping the drug, and rheumatism will recur. Especially when the weather is wet. Director Luo said with a sigh.
"Rheumatism is prone to recurrence, not to mention that your mother is in her seventies, and her constitution is already weak. Yang Decai comforted.
"This prescription does have the effect of curing rheumatism, but there is a misuse of medicine. Therefore, the final treatment effect is greatly reduced, and it will also bring certain side effects. Long Chengyu looked at Director Luo and asked, "Is the frequency of your mother's rheumatic attacks getting higher and higher?" ”
Director Luo listened to Long Chengyu's words, his expression moved again, and his face turned a little positive when he looked at Long Chengyu: "Yes, I used to eat it once every six months, but now I have to eat it once every half a month." ”
"The lobelia in this recipe is wrong. Although lobelia has the effect of antipyretic, diuretic and swelling, it is mostly used to treat liver disease, appendicitis and other diseases, and has no effect on rheumatism. And because of the interaction with other drugs in the prescription, it will also cause excessive uric acid to accumulate in the user's body. Long Chengyu explained.
"Accumulation of uric acid?" Yang Decai and Director Luo listened to Long Chengyu's words, their faces changed slightly, they both knew that rheumatism is closely related to uric acid in the human body. Many people just don't pay attention to high uric acid when they are young, which leads to rheumatic joint swelling and pain.
"I don't know if the prescription was written by the master wrongly, or if the prescription he learned was wrong. But I'm sure that lobelia is really used incorrectly here, and if I were prescribing medicine, I wouldn't use lobelia, but half-branched lotus. Long Chengyu said affirmatively.
"Half a lotus?" Director Luo was confused, but Yang Decai was thoughtful.
"That's right, the half-branch lotus can disperse stasis and relieve pain, has the effect of reducing swelling and clearing heat and dampness, and combined with other herbs in the prescription, it can play a role in driving away rheumatism. Long Chengyu explained.
"This, Doctor Yang ......" Director Luo looked at Yang Decai hesitantly. Although he doesn't understand it himself, he has a good personal relationship with Yang Decai, so of course he has to ask Yang Decai's opinion.
"Although Dr. Long is young, he has a deep understanding of Chinese medicine. What he just said about replacing lobelia with half a branch of lotus, I think it makes some sense, but you must be a prescription inherited from the old Chinese medicine, so I don't dare to make a conclusion. Yang Decai said with some embarrassment.
"Of course, this is just my opinion, whether you believe it or not lies with you, Director Luo. I'll go and get all the other medicines first, and the last flavor is to use lobelia or half a lotus, and then you can say it, and I'll add it to you. After Long Chengyu finished speaking, he gestured slightly to the two of them and entered the medicinal herb room.
Compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine is more conservative and pays great attention to inheritance, and generally does not take out prescriptions to show others. Since Director Luo can get the other party's prescription, it can be seen that he has a great relationship with the old Chinese medicine doctor.
Long Chengyu understood that it was almost impossible for him to believe in himself and question the old Chinese medicine doctor. Therefore, I have no intention of dwelling on this matter, after all, I am not the attending doctor, but I just reminded him out of kindness.
"Or, Doctor Yang, can you ask me about your old boss again?" Director Luo couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw that Long Chengyu was full of confidence and was full of confidence.
"Well, that's not good. If you ask my former boss, I will inevitably pass on the prescription again. The prescription leaks out, but it is a taboo in our Chinese medicine. You forgot to ask last time, and the old Chinese medicine doctor in Yangcheng was not so happy. Yang Decai was a little embarrassed.
"That's too, or I'll ask an acquaintance over there to inquire indirectly. Director Luo said, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
After a while, Long Chengyu grasped the medicine for Ning Jiaxin to regulate menstruation and the medicine in Director Luo's prescription. Director Luo's medicine was only the last taste left and did not put it in.
Seeing that Director Luo still hadn't made a decision, Long Chengyu explained to Yang Decai that there was no lobelia in it, so he came to the treatment room with Ning Jiaxin's medicinal materials.
In addition to the equipment for cutting medicine, there are also medicine boiling utensils to facilitate patients to boil medicine when it is inconvenient for them. In addition to helping Ning Jiaxin boil today's medicine, Long Chengyu also put the small herb soup he needed in a big pot and slowly boiled it over a simmer.
When Long Chengyu was about to go back to the outpatient room to have a look, Director Luo and Yang Decai pushed the door and walked in, Director Luo saw Long Chengyu and said gratefully: "Doctor Long, you are really a god, thanks to meeting you, otherwise, my old mother would not know how much she would have to suffer, hey, it would be nice if I met you earlier." ”
After inquiring, I learned that Director Luo asked an acquaintance to ask the old Chinese medicine doctor euphemistically. As a result, the old Chinese medicine doctor called directly and scolded Director Luo.
According to the old Chinese medicine doctor, the prescription he prescribed was originally used in the half-branch lotus, and there was no such thing as lobelia. After thinking about it, Director Luo finally found out that it was his son who copied the prescription, and took it for granted that Lobelia was copied into Lobelia.
"It's okay, it's still too late for you to change now, but it's just that the old man was miserable before. Long Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "If you can trust me, I suggest that you double the dosage of the half-branch lotus now, and add the same dose of the bone-penetrating grass as the half-branch lotus." ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll listen to you. Thank you so much. Director Luo said gratefully. Just now, Yang Decai also told him about Long Chengyu's previous treatment, which made Director Luo more convinced of Long Chengyu.
"Thanksgiving doesn't have to be. I still want you to tell me about Ning Jiaxin's support for her family...... Don't get me wrong, I don't like gossip, it's just that Ning Jiaxin's illness is related to the fatigue of her body, and it is also related to her heart knots. So I want to ......" Long Chengyu deliberately stopped when he said this, and the meaning was obvious.
"Heart disease, hey, kid. Well, in fact, things are not complicated to say. Ning Jiaxin's parents died when she was a child, and she was raised by her uncle and uncle. Now that the uncle has been crippled in a car accident, and the uncle's family has left her and the uncle alone, Ning Jiaxin has to take on the responsibility of raising his uncle alone. Director Luo said.
"She is still a student herself, and no one can afford the tuition and living expenses, so what can she do to support her uncle. Her uncle's family is too unrighteous!" Before Long Chengyu could speak, Yang Decai said angrily.
"I heard that she doesn't have an older brother? It is said that her brother was a soldier, and after he died for the country, the state gave him a large pension, so how could their family end up in such a field? Long Chengyu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked tentatively.
"According to a fellow villager in Ning Jiaxin, there is a pension," Director Luo glanced at Long Chengyu in surprise and said, "But it was forcibly occupied by her uncle's family, saying that it was to offset the cost of raising the brother and sister for so many years." After receiving the pension, her uncle's family kicked her and her uncle, who is said to be living alone in a dilapidated kiln. ”
"It's really hateful!" Long Chengyu clenched his fists and scolded.
"Poor Ning Jiaxin has to earn tuition for herself, as well as living expenses for herself and her uncle, so she keeps using her spare time to do part-time work, and it's no wonder that her body is not crossed. Director Luo said with a sigh.
"I didn't expect that this small body was under such a lot of pressure, which really made her evil. Yang Decai said.
"That's right, Director Luo. Since Ning Jiaxin is so pitiful, I want to contact a few well-wishers to donate to her......" Long Chengyu said. Of course, contacting well-wishers is just an excuse, Long Chengyu is planning to donate by himself.
"I'm afraid this won't work. Director Luo interrupted Long Chengyu's words and said, "Don't look at Ning Jiaxin's appearance as weak, but she is strong and stubborn on the inside, and she has a strong sense of self-esteem, and she is unwilling to accept her pity." She never took the initiative to apply for assistance to the school, and even the poverty subsidy given by the school was only accepted after we worked several times. ”
"This is very similar to the style of Ningnan Army. There really is a brother and a sister. Since it doesn't work to give money directly, there is only another way. In short, now that I know about her situation, I can't let her suffer any longer. Long Chengyu secretly made up his mind in his heart.
