Chapter 19: Stillbirth
The old man also wept and said, "Yes, this little brother, please give way!" ”
Zuo Shaoyang was anxious: "How do you know if you can't cure it?" Dead horses are still used as live horse doctors! What's more, if you are a person, you should not give up if you have the slightest hope! ”
The men stopped crying again, looked at each other, and the young man said, "Who can save my daughter-in-law?" ”
"Let me take the pulse first, I'll see if there's hope, and then I'll tell you!"
When the old man saw that he looked confident, he suddenly ignited hope, and turned back and beckoned, "Good! Put it down! Let this little brother touch the pulse! ”
The door panel was put down, the quilt was half lifted, Zuo Shaoyang squatted beside him, saw that the woman's face was pale and there was no blood, closed her eyes tightly, reached out and grabbed her wrist to diagnose the pulse, she couldn't find the pulse anymore, her heart sank, and she reached out and touched the side of her neck, and under the heavy press, she faintly felt the pulse beating. Suddenly my heart was happy, and there was a pulse, that is, I was not dead yet!
Zuo Shaoyang reached into his arms, buckled a small grain of "dangmenzi" from the musk in his arms, sandwiched it between his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Open her mouth!" ”
The man hurriedly helped pinch the young woman's mouth open, and left Shaoyang held the musk between his two fingers as a door, stuffed it under the young woman's tongue, and then asked the man to close the young woman's mouth. Stood up and watched with his hands behind his back.
Everyone didn't know what he was doing, they all stared, and passers-by also gathered around to see the excitement, seeing that his movements were mysterious, they didn't know what to do, but when it came to saving people's lives, no one dared to say more.
After a while, just as Zuo Shaoyang's mind was becoming more and more restless, the young woman suddenly groaned, woke up, and opened her eyes: "...... Ah, I'm ......, am I dead? ”
"the kid! Are you ......, are you awake? What do you think? ”
The onlookers were also buzzing and discussing, and they all looked at Zuo Shaoyang with strange eyes.
This woman was stillborn, and the treatment in Huimin Hall was ineffective overnight, and she fell into a coma this morning, and she used all kinds of medicines, all like a stone cow entering the sea, and her pulse was getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn't even hear her breathing, so Ni Langzhong announced that she was dead, and asked her family to carry her home to prepare for the future.
Musk is the medicine to awaken the mind and return to Suzhou, it has a strong function of opening the body, and has a reviving effect on the coma caused by various reasons, and the doctors before the Tang Dynasty, although musk has been used as medicine, but mainly uses its aroma as a turbidity, the treatment of abdominal pain and urgency, and is also used to treat dystocia and abortion, but it is used to awaken the mind and open the mind, but it is recorded after Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the ancients did not know the efficacy of musk in this regard. Of course, I didn't see what kind of elixir Zuo Shaoyang was carrying in his arms.
Although he woke up the young woman, it did not mean that the disease was cured, and although the young woman's family was hopeful, they did not look at this young man as a skilled doctor. The old man arched his hand and said, "May I ask the little brother, the person I just said can save my daughter-in-law, but is the honorable teacher?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang saw from their eyes that they did not trust themselves, in modern society, the most troublesome thing about practicing medicine is that patients do not believe in doctors, especially traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine relying on modern diagnosis and treatment equipment, the latter is objective and practical, you can see and touch, and the diagnosis and treatment process and results of traditional Chinese medicine can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and the interpretation of the cause of the disease is also full of mystery, more rely on experience. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, age is definitely linked to medical skills, and the older you are, it is believed that the higher your medical skills will be. Young TCM doctors, usually no one will see him. Therefore, many TCM doctors in modern society have beards and dress very old-fashioned, which makes people look old-fashioned. That's the purpose.
Zuo Shaoyang naturally understands this, on the other hand, it's better if he doesn't want to rescue him directly, otherwise his father will be even more inexplicable. So Zuo Shaoyang nodded and said, "It's my father!" ”
"Oh, it turns out that the Venerable Master is Lord Ling Zun, I don't know where Ling Zun is now? Please have mercy on him and save my daughter-in-law! ”
"My father is in the pharmacy over there, and our family has opened a pharmacy called 'Guizhitang'."
An old woman leaned over and whispered: "Uncle, I went to see the disease in this Guizhitang, that Langzhong's surname is Zuo, and the prescription is not very good, the last time I coughed, I heard that his medicine is cheap, so I went, and I didn't get better for several days, and then I went to Renshoutang to see it." ”
"yes!" Another old man also said in a low voice: "I also heard that although the medicine in Guizhitang is cheap, the Chinese medicine skills of Nazuo Lang are really not very good......
Although they spoke in a low voice, Zuo Shaoyang still heard it clearly, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, they didn't believe in their own medical skills, and now they didn't believe that their father Zuo Gui could cure this disease, so they wouldn't go to Guizhitang, so there was no way to treat it. hurriedly interjected: "Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, you don't know, my father has a family heirloom, who specializes in stillbirths. Just now, my father asked me to bring medicine to save me. ”
Ancient doctors were taught by teachers and apprentices, and there were not many public prescriptions, and there were many doctors who relied on one or two ancestral secrets to treat certain diseases, which won a place in Xinglin. As soon as they heard Zuo Shaoyang's words, these people began to talk in a low voice.
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Zuo Shaoyang immediately retreated and said: "If you don't believe in my father's medical skills, forget it, anyway, this kind of thing is cured, it is impossible to guarantee that it will be cured, this sister-in-law is already dying, just now it was just a temporary awakening, it won't be long before she will be in a coma again, and like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight." I'm troubled, I'm leaving! ”
After that, Zuo Shaoyang glanced at the painful and moaning mother with pity, sighed, and slowly walked back with his hands behind his back.
The husband of the mother hurriedly said to the old man: "Dad! Let's let Zuo Lang rule it! He has an ancestral recipe! What if it can be cured! ”
This case is too tempting, many people buy lottery tickets, knowing that there is little hope, but they also rush to spend money on this case. When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and the old man hurriedly waved and shouted, "This little brother, please stay!" Let's ask Ling Zun to help! ”
As they spoke, a group of people lifted the door panel.
"That's good!" Zuo Shaoyang turned around, lowered his voice, and said with a mysterious look: "However, my father has a very strange temper, this ancestral secret recipe is generally not easy to use, and he has to remember three things when he comes to his old man's house to save him!" ”
"Little brother, please speak!" The old man leaned his head over and lowered his voice.
"First of all, you must be sincere, his old man will say that he can't be saved, you have to keep begging, he looks pitiful, and then he will come to the rescue. My father has a strange temper, he will start to say that he can't be saved, he is seriously ill and can't be cured, he must insist on pleading, and he must not judge the prescription he prescribes, you must know that home remedies cure serious diseases, looking at simple prescriptions, can often turn decay into magic! ”
Famous doctors with skills generally have a very eccentric temper, which in modern times is called having a surname. Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Zuo Shaoyang said in a low voice: "Secondly, you must not mention the words 'ancestral secret recipe', he is the most taboo for people to know that he has this ability." Don't forget! ”
The so-called puppet is not guilty of his crimes, he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves, and everyone can understand, and they are busy and nodding in agreement.
"Finally, this is the ...... This ......, the diagnosis is ......, this ......, alas, let's save people first! Carry someone with me! ”
Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted to talk about the diagnosis fee first, which was an important reason why he was not sure about the treatment of stillbirths, but he had the courage to rescue him. In order to prevent the whole family from being swept away and living on the streets after three days. But this is against medical ethics after all, so when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say it. Beckon them to follow them to Guizhi Hall.
