Chapter 30: The First Career in Medicine
On July 20, this morning, Shen Tingyu did not study hard at home, but sat in the pharmacy to study medical books, because Dr. Sun seemed to have something to go out today, so he asked Shen Tingyu to take care of the pharmacy for him, and there were no patients in the pharmacy at this time, so Shen Tingyu looked at the medical books when he had nothing to do.
Shen Tingyu was holding Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" in his hand at this time, and was reading it with relish, when he suddenly saw a woman holding a child and hurriedly ran in.
"Doctor, please save my child." The woman said anxiously, not caring why the doctor had changed today.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor, I'm just an apprentice, and the doctor has something to do today." Shen Tingyu put down the book and said.
When the woman heard this, she wept and said, "What then?" ”
"Well, otherwise, although I am only an apprentice, I have also learned some medical skills, otherwise I will help you look at the child and prescribe another medicine."
"Really? Then please ask the doctor to hurry. After all, the child is still sick now, so the woman no longer cares about the identity of Shen Tingyu's apprentice, and simply acts as a live horse doctor, so let Shen Tingyu do it.
Shen Tingyu first used his hope to ask about the four methods, and saw that the little girl in the woman's arms had a red face, sweating, white and dry lips, and a white and thin tongue. Listening to her breathing, I noticed that the little girl's breathing was rapid and weak, and she was coughing.
So Shen Tingyu asked the woman, "Did this little girl spit when she coughed?" ”
"Yes."
"So is she spitting out thick phlegm or clear phlegm?"
"With thick phlegm."
"And does she have a chill?"
"No, it's just that she often says she's hot."
"Is the bowel movement normal?"
"It's all normal, it's just that the urine is a little yellow."
"Is there a family history?"
"I haven't heard of any medical history at home."
"Hmm." Then Shen Tingyu put his hand on the little girl's arm and checked her pulse. Shen Tingyu felt that the little girl's pulse was short, so he concluded that this was a phenomenon of counting pulses, and according to the condition he had detected before, Shen Tingyu had already come to the conclusion that yes, this little girl was suffering from wind and heat.
"This child is suffering from wind heat, now I will feed her a bezoar pill first." As he spoke, Shen Tingyu took out a bezoar pill and gave it to the little girl.
"Is this really possible?" The woman asked, puzzled.
"Of course, please wait here for a while and then observe." Shen Tingyu said.
Half an hour later, the little girl's high fever gradually subsided, and the person gradually became energetic.
"It looks like she's in stable condition, so I'll prescribe you another pair of medicines." Shen Tingyu said.
"Then thank you, doctor." The woman said.
Then Shen Tingyu wrote a prescription on a piece of paper, and grabbed three days' worth of medicine according to the prescription, and said to the woman: "You can give me fifty yuan for these medicines, and boil these medicines after you go back, twice a day, and give them to this little girl, and within three days, she will definitely be cured." ”
"Thank you, doctor, I see." The woman paid the money, took the medicine, and left, while Shen Tingyu sat alone in the pharmacy and studied medicine. After a few hours, Dr. Sun finally returned.
"Tingyu, what happened during my absence today?" Dr. Sun asked.
"Nothing special, except that a woman came to the pharmacy with a sick little girl."
Hearing Shen Tingyu's words, Dr. Sun became a little interested and asked, "Oh, then how did you deal with this matter?" ”
"Human life is at stake, so I naturally chose to help."
"Yes, you have the heart of a healer, but how do you see a doctor?
"I first observed the little girl's condition with the four methods of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and learned that she was infected with wind and fever, so I fed her a bezoar pill, and when her condition stabilized, I prescribed a prescription for the woman and let her go."
"And what prescription did you prescribe?"
Then Shen Tingyu informed Dr. Sun of the prescription he prescribed, and Dr. Sun applauded again and again: "Okay! Good! Good! You have cured the patient today, which shows that you have just entered the medical Tao and become a real doctor, and I have nothing to teach you here, and from tomorrow onwards, you will no longer have to come to me to learn medical skills, so concentrate on studying. I'm still waiting for Tingyu, your high school champion. ”
"In this case, it will be borrowed from the gentleman."
......
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the middle of August, and it is less than a month before the autumn season, because the autumn exam is held in the Qingzhou Prefecture, so today Shen Tingyu has to start his journey, but before leaving, he decided to say goodbye to a few acquaintances.
At this time, Shen Tingyu had just come out of the pharmacy, and he felt that he should go to Du Youwei to say goodbye, so he immediately walked towards the county office, but when he came to the lobby, he saw Du Youwei holding a letter and was worried, so Shen Tingyu asked, "Lord Du, are you doing anything difficult?" ”
Du Youwei looked up at Shen Tingyu, handed the letter in his hand to Shen Tingyu, and said, "Brother Xian, you should take a look at this letter first." ”
Shen Tingyu took the letter and glanced at it, and said, "This, Master Du, this is a public document, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to know about it." ”
"It's okay, Brother Xian is not an outsider, and Brother Wei is also worrying about the matter on this letter."
After listening to Du Youwei's words, Shen Tingyu opened the letter, and after reading it quickly, he said to Du Youwei: "Lord Du, but Lord Taishou wants to come to this county to inspect?" ”
"Yes, it was a good thing that Lord Taishou came to inspect, but I can't figure out what the temperament of Lord Taishou is, and I'm afraid that I will make Lord Taishou unhappy."
"This Lord Taishou came to inspect, and the inspection is nothing more than the livelihood of the county, why should the county magistrate know his preferences?" Shen Tingyu asked.
"Brother Xian, didn't you ask knowingly? As soon as this Taishou Lord comes, if I return happily, I am expected to be promoted, and if I return in defeat, I am afraid that I don't know how long I can sit in the seat of the county order. Du Youwei said.
"If he wants something, give it to him."
"But there must be someone to do it, otherwise, I'm afraid it will backfire."
"I can recommend someone to Lord Prefectural Commander, and he must know what Lord Taishou likes."
"Brother Xian, come on." Du Youwei said anxiously.
"This person is the county's gentry Han Yuanjiang, not to mention anything else, it's just that the preferences of all the officials in Mingdu County must be in his stomach."
Listening to Shen Tingyu's words, Du Youwei looked suddenly enlightened, and said to himself: "Yes, why didn't I think of him." ”
