Chapter 54: You Are Extraordinary Times
"Don't worry, in fact, this pregnancy reaction is different for everyone, and it is not impossible to stop vomiting." Song Lingyue comforted Zhang Chun'er, "I'll prescribe you a warm antiemetic prescription for a while, you drink it first to see, if it is effective, take it for three days in a row, and stop for three days to observe the effect of the medicine." If it doesn't work, I'll re-prescribe a prescription for you. If you usually want to vomit, you can try eating black plum to stop vomiting. ”
Song Lingyue motioned for Xiangling to bring the medicine box over, and took out an oiled paper bag from it, which contained plums with medicinal fragrance.
"You can eat one now, this is a plum I soaked in herbs, which originally had the effect of quenching thirst, strengthening the spleen and appetizing, and it is also a must to stop vomiting." Song Lingyue handed the packet of pickled black plum to Zhang Chun'er.
After Zhang Chun'er took it, she picked up one and put it in her mouth and tasted it, "It's sweet and sour, and there is a cool feeling that keeps drilling into my throat, and I don't seem to want to vomit as much as before after eating this." ”
"You're in extraordinary times, and your body is already very sensitive. Such a serious pregnancy reaction may also be related to lifestyle habits, so you should pay more attention to it. Song Lingyue wrote the prescription while instructing Zhang Chun'er.
"These are all common medicinal herbs, if you still have doubts about my medical skills, just go find a Langzhong and let him take a look." Song Lingyue is still very confident in her medical skills.
Song Lingyue showed her hand as soon as she entered the door, at this time Zhang Chun'er had already decided that Song Lingyue was a famous doctor, and she was still very happy to get the prescription, how could she say that she wanted to find another Lang Zhong to see if the prescription could be used.
After eating the black plum given by Song Lingyue, she had lost her appetite due to vomiting during this time, and she felt a little hungry after such a while, Zhang Chun'er only felt very surprised.
"Thank you so much, Miss Lingyue!" Zhang Chun'er took the recipe and looked at it over and over, and then the baby was withdrawn into the sleeve.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Lingyue like Aunt Li." Song Lingyue smiled slightly, "If you have any illness in the future, just come to me." They are all women, and it is convenient to talk about women's diseases. ”
"So, Lingyue, are you studying women's science? No wonder he is so capable. Zhang Chun'er has been conquered by Song Lingyue's medical skills, and her eyes are full of little stars when she looks at Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue nodded and replied. In fact, she also knows about other pathologies, and she has learned the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, so if she is given the conditions, it is okay for her to have surgery.
It's just that after this period of investigation, Song Lingyue found that there were no female doctors in this era, which was a very unfriendly thing for women.
The ancient folk customs were much more conservative than those of modern times, and there were no special gynecologists. Many women suffer from gynecological inflammation and are embarrassed to go to the doctor for treatment, so the disease is delayed in vain.
Women are shy and reluctant to seek medical treatment from a male doctor, and some husbands are reluctant to let their wives treat other foreign men.
Not to mention gynecological diseases, even if it is a general knife wound or something that requires a large area of bare skin on the back, it is not allowed to be treated by the doctor.
Song Lingyue wanted to say that in the eyes of the doctor, all patients were just patients, but it was too difficult to explain these truths to the ancients.
Even in modern times, doing a gynecological examination in front of a male doctor is not something that every girl can accept, right?
And in this era when there are no female doctors, the unspeakable secrets of women are only afraid of more, and it is even more difficult to attract attention.
Therefore, Song Lingyue decided to specialize in women's science in the future to bring health to the women of Daxia, so that women's medical conditions and life and health can be better guaranteed.
After Zhang Chun'er took Song Lingyue's anti-emetic prescription, she really stopped vomiting.
The black plum pickled in herbs sent by Song Lingyue has become Zhang Chun'er's daily snack, which not only allows her to easily stop vomiting, but also has a great appetite, and she can eat more food than before.
Song Lingyue also repeatedly reminded Zhang Chun'er that it is a good thing to be able to stop vomiting and eat, but not to eat too much, if the fetus grows too big, it will inevitably have a difficult birth during delivery.
It's just that Zhang Chun'er wants to listen to Song Lingyue, but Zhang Chun'er's mother-in-law won't listen.
I just thought that Zhang Chun'er could add a golden grandson to the Zhang family sooner, and after seeing that she no longer had morning sickness, she changed her method to add food, as if she wanted to make up for all the things that Zhang Chun'er vomited out before.
Song Lingyue couldn't persuade her, but only reduced the supply of black plums, hoping that Zhang Chun'er's appetite would also return to normal. But Zhang Chun'er is still past the time when the pregnancy reaction is at its worst, and she can't hide her appetite if she doesn't eat black plums.
Song Lingyue had no choice but to leave it like this.
Aunt Li was extremely curious about Song Lingyue's words, "Why don't you let Chun'er eat more?" When I was pregnant with Xiangling before, the doctor said that if you eat more, the baby will be healthy and smart. ”
Song Lingyue thought about it, afraid that Aunt Li would not understand the modern term, so she changed her tactful statement:
"Aunt Li, in fact, what the baby absorbs in the mother's belly is the mother's own nutrients. Excessive consumption of too nutritious things can lead to maternal obesity.
In addition, after pregnancy, many mothers no longer move, but make physical weakness. Although the fetus will also grow, the burden and pressure on the mother will also be greater. By the time of childbirth, the body has been nourished, and it is not strong enough to have a difficult birth. ”
Aunt Li suddenly realized: "Is this the case? I didn't even know about it, and I thought that if I was pregnant, I should eat more and move less. ”
Song Lingyue actually wants to say that strictly speaking, Asian women's pelvis is very small, and it is not easy to give birth to a fetus.
In addition, after pregnancy, pregnant women are often crammed by the man's family to raise the fetus, and if the pregnant woman herself does not like to exercise, it is easy to cause the fetus to be too large, so it is difficult to give birth.
Fortunately in modern times, there is a cesarean section, and it is good to cut the baby out of the womb directly with anesthesia, and it doesn't matter if it is older.
But in ancient times, the baby was too big, and once it was difficult to give birth, it would inevitably collapse with blood, and if the bleeding could not be stopped, I was afraid that it would kill two people.
"Aunt Li, you better persuade Aunt Zhang more. Even if you can't ignore her mother-in-law, you have to move around as much as possible, so that you can have the strength to give birth in the future. Song Lingyue was not at ease, and told Aunt Li again.
Even in the modern medical environment, it is impossible to guarantee that the mother will not die because of childbirth, and there is still a 1 in 5,000 chance of death.
"I've been born too, and I know it." Aunt Li sighed in a low voice, "This woman, it's really difficult." ”
In the blink of an eye, Song Lingyue's medical hall has been open for more than a month, and she can earn some money every day, although it is not much, but it is enough to provide Song Lingyue and Song Yanzhi with a living.
It's just that there aren't many people who come to Song Lingyue for medical treatment, which makes Song Lingyue a little anxious.
However, when Zhang Chun'er's morning sickness reaction was completely controlled, the number of women who came to Song Lingyue for medical treatment gradually increased.
However, these women were a little sneaky when they came to see a doctor, and they looked like thieves, and many of them wore scarves to cover their faces.
However, after these women saw that Song Lingyue had set up a secret small room in the medical hall as a diagnosis and treatment room, they were relieved.
Since Song Lingyue planned to specialize in women's medicine, she made a careful arrangement for the treatment room.
The treatment room is arranged a bit like a girl's boudoir, and it is fumigated with angelica and camphor every day, on the one hand, it is sterilization and insecticide, and on the other hand, it brings a full room of fragrance.
Song Lingyue, the door of the treatment room, asked the carpenter to make a push-pull type according to her idea, although there is no modern slide rail, there will be a sound when pushing and pulling, but Song Lingyue is already very satisfied.
In order to create privacy, Song Lingyue also used crystal beads to wear a crystal curtain as a shield.
There is a beauty couch in the small room, covered with thick cotton cushions, covered with white linen, clean and refreshing.
Opposite the beauty couch is a low table, on which are placed the hand pillows needed for consultation, as well as the four treasures of the study that can be used to prescribe prescriptions.
There are some ornaments on the cabinet shelves behind it, including wooden ponies and rattles for children to play with, full of childlike fun.
There is also a white vase on the table, and fresh flowers are inserted in the vase every time, sending a burst of fragrance.
Song Lingyue has good medical skills, and she always smiles, and the fees for medicine and consultation are also very reasonable, and gradually more and more female patients come to her for treatment.
Especially among the women of various families, Song Lingyue has become synonymous with the holy hand of gynecology.
Occasionally, male patients who were obviously sick would pass by at the door, but they all hurriedly glanced at the door of Boryeongtang, and turned around and left when they saw Song Lingyue sitting in town.
So much so that the most common disease that Song Lingyue has seen so far is the menstrual irregularities of the women.
However, at the end of this month, Song Lingyue's Baoning Hall ushered in the first male patient.
There are still male patients who usually take medicine, but it is rare for a male patient to take the initiative to ask Song Lingyue to treat him.
This male patient claimed to be called Niu Er, and he had been sick for a while, but he had no money for treatment.
For this patient named Niu Er, Song Lingyue was very dedicated to him.
However, the fighting room was opened up by Song Lingyue for female patients to see a doctor, so she did not invite Niu Er into the inner hall for diagnosis and treatment, but directly in the outer hall for diagnosis and treatment.
During the diagnosis and treatment process, Niu Er's eyes kept looking around, and he didn't know what he was looking at, and his behavior was a little strange.
Song Lingyue didn't pay attention to these. Because during this time, more and more people learned that the doctor of Baoningtang was actually a daughter, and many people looked around like Niu Er, as if they had never seen a woman open a pharmacy.
Song Lingyue was already accustomed to it, so naturally she didn't care. After treating Niu Er, he wrote down the prescription and said to Niu Er:
"It should be just an ordinary wind chill, I'll prescribe you a typhoid prescription, and you can boil the medicine according to the method I wrote after you go back."
