Chapter 283: Can concentration in studying earn favorability? Good medicine tastes bitter
Li Quan took the Chinese medicine prescription written by Professor Liu, paid the fee first, and then went to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine.
Speaking of this matter, it took some twists and turns.
Because Sophie was hospitalized in the hematology department and had nothing to do with Professor Liu.
Even if medicine needs to be prescribed, only Director Qin, the treating physician, can prescribe it.
What should we do then?
Simple.
Sophie registered with Professor Liu for gynecological diseases. Then Li Quan could prescribe medicine in Professor Liu's name.
Of course, if Professor Liu did not have absolute trust in Li Quan, he would definitely not agree to such a thing.
If something really happens, who can take the responsibility?
Doctors are extremely cautious when prescribing medicines, using medications, and performing operations on patients.
Professor Liu didn't dare to prescribe even the familiar Chinese medicine prescriptions. Not to mention that Professor Liu had never heard of the prescription provided by Li Quan, and he couldn't figure out the pharmacology after thinking for a long time.
The reason why he agreed to prescribe this medicine was simply because he had great trust in Li Quan and was very optimistic about his skills in traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Quan had already thought it through at that time. If the teacher did not agree, he would discuss it with Sophie and her parents.
I can only take medicine privately.
If this were the case, Sophie would agree, but she was afraid that Su Bingran and his wife would not agree.
This incident also gave Li Quan a wake-up call.
In the future, I must take the examination for a practicing Chinese medicine physician certificate.
This way you don't have to bother others.
He will definitely learn more and more miracle medical skills in the future. After curing Sophie's illness this time, if nothing unexpected happens, he will consider learning the miracle medical skills in Chinese medicine compatibility.
Now he actually has quite a few miraculous medical skills.
There are surgical techniques, acupuncture, uterine manipulation, and bone therapy for children that can be used for surgery, as well as pulse diagnosis and visual diagnosis to diagnose diseases and find out the cause of the disease. In addition, there is a special treatment for infantile blood diseases that is thousands of years ahead of Western blood disease treatment technology.
All together, there are seven or eight miraculous medical skills.
The next shortcoming to be made up is probably the miraculous medical skills in the combination of traditional Chinese medicine.
If you are a Chinese medicine practitioner but cannot prescribe Chinese medicine, you are not a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner.
Acupuncture, massage and other treatments are not enough to cure diseases.
There are many diseases that require medication.
Just look at the idioms since ancient times and you will know: medicine cures all diseases, panacea, good medicine tastes bitter, the right medicine for the right disease, there is no cure... It is not difficult to see from these idioms that medicine is a powerful weapon for doctors to cure diseases and save lives.
Let’s look at another word, medicine.
Medicine refers to medical skills, while medicine refers to drugs that can cure diseases.
Only with good medical skills and the use of various medicines can diseases be cured.
Therefore, after Li Quan mastered the Five Animal Exercises, his next goal would be to learn the miraculous medical skills in the field of Chinese medicine compatibility.
Li Quan took the prescription and planned to pay at the self-service payment machine.
It was only then that I remembered that self-service payment requires the patient's ID card. Forget it, I'd better go to the payment window and pay manually.
It was probably around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Bingran had not returned from the police station where he had given his statement.
All those media reporters who were like flies left.
When they left, they were all satisfied.
Because as long as your professional skills are not bad enough, you can basically get two or three impressive press releases from Huier Hospital this time. This is all money.
Journalists' income is tied to press releases.
Li Quan walked to the payment window and found that there were no patients queuing at this time. It seems that with the continuous improvement of China's technological level, various payment methods such as self-service payment machines and mobile phone APP payment have greatly facilitated patients to pay.
At the same time, it also reduces the pressure on the hospital's manual payment windows.
In Li Quan's impression, there used to be long queues at the hospital's payment windows, and even the dozen or so payment windows were too busy to handle the workload.
Now, Huier Hospital, such a large tertiary hospital, only has three payment windows in the outpatient hall.
The grand scene of hundreds of people queuing in more than a dozen long queues rushing to pay their fees is gone forever.
"Beautiful lady, please help me pay the fee!"
Li Quan handed the prescription directly in.
"Oh, it's you, Doctor Li! Hehe, you've become a celebrity in our hospital now. Is this to pay the bill for your girlfriend?" The girl at the cashier greeted Li Quan with a smile.
The news that Li Quan had invited a large number of foreign experts to treat his girlfriend today had spread throughout the hospital.
While everyone was moved by his infatuation, they were also impressed by his abilities.
"I don't care if I'm a celebrity or not. As long as it can really cure my girlfriend's leukemia, I'm willing to do anything."
Li Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He never cared about those false reputations.
It was just as he said. As long as he could cure Sophie, he would be happy to be despised by everyone, let alone become a star in the hospital.
"Alas, why are all the good men I see other people's boyfriends?"
The girl who collected the cash sighed, and when she looked at Li Quan, her eyes sparkled.
Li Quan didn't dare to respond to her. He was most afraid of girls looking at him like that.
Because Tang Han once looked at him that way.
Then until the farewell dinner, she was still thinking about Li Quan.
"The total is 571 yuan. Doctor Li, do you want to pay in cash or by card?"
When she found that Li Quan did not respond to her words, she was not angry or disappointed. Instead, she admired Li Quan's character even more.
Some men are really bad.
Not to mention that if a girl takes the initiative to flirt with him, even if the girl ignores him, he will still chat up other beautiful women with a grin on his face even though he already has a girlfriend or wife.
It is common to ask for WeChat and phone numbers.
Whether a person's character is upright can actually be seen from these details.
"Please swipe the card for me!" Li Quan handed over the bank card directly.
A prescription of medicine costs more than 500 yuan, which is quite expensive.
"Okay, here's the payment receipt." She handed over the receipt and the card.
"Thanks!"
Li Quan took the receipt and went directly to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine.
He glanced down at the bill.
Among them, there are two precious Chinese medicinal materials, which account for most of the medical expenses.
The price of pangolin is 12 yuan per gram, and 15 grams of pangolin cost 180 yuan.
Another medicine is called saffron.
Only two grams of this medicine is enough. Its pharmacological effects are sweet and mild in nature, and it can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relieve depression and relieve pain.
The price is really expensive, 100 yuan per gram.
Two grams is 200 yuan.
The remaining Chinese medicinal materials are not expensive.
But compared with the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars spent on treating leukemia, a dose of medicine costs less than 600 yuan, which is really nothing.
If this medicine is effective, a total of twelve doses will be needed.
The total amount is only about 6,000 yuan.
It is undeniable that the cost of treating diseases with traditional Chinese medicine is indeed much lower than that of Western medicine.
Western medicine often costs hundreds or even thousands of yuan for a few major tests before the treatment even begins. Even tests like MRIs often cost two or three thousand yuan.
This is probably one of the reasons for the rise of Western medicine and the decline of traditional Chinese medicine.
As long as traditional Chinese medicine is truly effective, people will definitely prefer to use it to treat their illnesses.
However, the hospital does not make any money by treating patients with traditional Chinese medicine.
This has led to traditional Chinese medicine being excluded from the market.
Doctors and hospitals all need to survive. If they can't make money, will their whole family starve? Therefore, most doctors will choose to join the ranks of Western medicine in order to make a living.
Even occasionally there are some very conscientious doctors or hospitals that consider the patients and use traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases.
But since they cannot make money, this very small number of people will eventually be eliminated by the market.
The hospital can't make any money and will have to close down.
Doctors cannot make money, so they can only change their careers or think of a change.
On the way to the Chinese medicine pharmacy, Li Quan couldn't help thinking about how Chinese medicine can be integrated into the market, ensuring that the people can benefit and that Chinese medicine practitioners can make money and survive well.
It is definitely impossible to come up with a practical and good solution in a short period of time. This can be regarded as an issue, and when the TCM research department grows stronger in the future, we can work together to come up with a plan.
A moment later, he arrived at the Chinese medicine pharmacy.
Generally speaking, Western pharmacies have a large business volume and you need to queue up to get your medicine.
The business volume at the Chinese medicine pharmacy is much smaller and there is no need to queue.
When Li Quan arrived at the window of the pharmacy, he saw Sophie's name displayed on the electronic screen.
"Hello, please help me get the medicine! I need the pharmacy to boil it for me, and I need it now."
When Li Quan paid the fee just now, he had already paid the fee for decocting the medicine.
I have to say that it is quite good that the pharmacy has set up this medicine decoction service.
"Doctor Li, just come over in half an hour to get the medicine!"
The pharmacist dispensing medicine at the window was a young man, and Li Quan had a vague impression of him. It seemed to be the young man who was slapped on the head by pharmacist Zou Quanliu last time.
This person has made some progress.
Last time, Pharmacist Zou Quanliu personally made things convenient for Li Quan and even scolded this young pharmacist who was inflexible.
This time, he learned his lesson.
He was very respectful to Li Quan and forced a warm and flattering smile on his face.
"It's troublesome."
Li Quan nodded, sat down on the bench next to him, and waited patiently.
At the same time, he took out the unfinished book "The Pillow Book of Moxibustion and Acupuncture" and continued reading.
As long as you gain 10 more points of favorability, you can learn the Five Animal Play techniques.
By then, Li Quan estimated that there was a high probability that he would no longer need to use Western medicine to treat Sophie.
Acupuncture, prescriptions, and Five Animal Exercises, when all three therapies are in place, can comprehensively enhance Sophie's immunity and completely kill the leukemia cells in her body.
Curing leukemia shouldn't be difficult.
At least in Qian Yi's diagnosis and treatment experience, there are many successful cases of cure.
Li Quan wanted to earn Hua Tuo's 20 points of favorability as soon as possible, so he concentrated on reading the contents of the Pillow Moxibustion and Acupuncture Classic. Gradually, he was immersed in it and forgot about the outside world.
Li Quan was very interested in the classic cases and acupuncture treatment methods in the book.
Because his acupuncture skills have reached the master level.
In the spirit of seeking and asking questions, when I see the acupuncture methods of ancient miracle doctors such as Hua Tuo, I can't help but think hard and comprehend the medical principles.
For example, the case we are seeing now.
There was a young woman, 18 years old, who ate unclean wild fruits at night and had unbearable abdominal pain at night, so she got up and went to the toilet behind the house to relieve herself. Unexpectedly, after she finished her diarrhea, when she came out of the toilet, a wild cat suddenly jumped out in fright, and screamed shrilly.
The woman was frightened and mentally ill, and ran away screaming wildly.
When she was found by her family, her eyes were dull, she was crying non-stop, she was curled up with her arms folded, and she was shaking constantly.
His family brought him back home, but his condition showed no improvement the next day.
Instead, the woman started to have a high fever, spoke nonsense, and alternately cried and laughed.
This scared her family.
People in that era were very superstitious, and at first they did not seek treatment from a doctor, but took him to a temple to seek treatment from a shaman.
As you can imagine, even after trying all the tricks of drawing talismans to exorcise evil spirits, there was still no effect.
The woman was getting sicker and sicker and might die at any time.
At this time, the family heard that there was a man named Hua Tuo who was very skilled in medicine, so they sought treatment from him with their last hope.
After receiving the patient, Hua Tuo first diagnosed the cause of the woman's illness using a combination of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.
Finally tell the desperate family members.
“It can be cured!”
Just two short words made the woman's family cry with joy.
Finally, there is hope.
Hua Tuo had the woman tied to a long table, with her limbs fixed, and then gave her thirteen needles.
When he finished the acupuncture, the woman who had only giggled or mumbled before, burst into tears. While her family was wondering, Warren had already untied the woman.
Her eyes were no longer dull, but had regained their former liveliness and spirit.
She hugged her mother and cried as she told her mother what happened that night.
It was only at this time that the family was finally sure that their daughter had returned to normal.
Following Hua Tuo's medical advice, the woman was taken home and carefully cared for for two days, and she recovered completely.
In this case, the thirteen needles used by Hua Tuo were all strange needles.
What is a strange needle?
It means that the acupuncture point is a strange point.
These include Guizhen Point, Jingmen Point, Shangxing Point and so on.
Li Quan felt that he had gained a lot from this medical record.
And so he continued reading page by page.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard someone calling him. Li Quan also recovered from this strange state of oblivion.
[You reached the highest state of concentration when reading the "Jingzhong Moxibustion and Acupuncture Sutra" , and gained Hua Tuo's favorability +5. ]
"Can this also increase favorability?"
Li Quan grinned foolishly, surprises really were everywhere.
But Hua Tuo was really stingy, only giving him 5 points of favorability. It would be great if he could add 5 more points.
You can directly obtain the Five Animal Play techniques.
"There are only 5 points left. As long as I finish reading this book, I can earn 20 points of favorability." Li Quan was excited and full of expectations.
"Doctor Li, Doctor Li..." The voice calling him sounded again.
When the pharmacist saw Li Quan standing there with a silly smile and in a daze, he thought that there was something wrong with Li Quan's brain.
"Are you calling me?" Li Quan stood up and closed the medical book.
"Well, the medicine has been boiled for you." The young pharmacist smiled and handed him the medicine. "After you take the medicine, please return the glass pot to us."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Quan took the glass pot with a grateful smile.
A strong herbal aroma hits your nose.
Now the medicine has been boiled, let Sophie drink it while it is hot. I believe it will have a good effect.
When we arrived at the ward, Sophie was leaning against the head of the bed, chatting with her mother.
After I gave her acupuncture yesterday , her condition improved significantly, and now she finally has the energy to chat with her mother.
Li Quan was very happy when he saw this scene.
"Sophie, I just asked the pharmacy to boil the Chinese medicine for you. Come, drink it while it's hot. I believe you will get better soon."
"Um!"
She nodded obediently.
After being hospitalized for so long, she had long wanted to be discharged.
I believe every hospitalized patient has this thought. Staying in the hospital for a long time is like being in prison.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the hospital ward was particularly depressing.
Sometimes, some patients with fragile hearts would even cry and make a scene, making people feel even more uneasy.
"Honey, feed me!" she said coquettishly to Li Quan.
"Sure, no problem!"
Li Quan smiled and picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful, blew it to his mouth, and then tested the temperature with his lips.
Just right.
"ah!"
"Open your mouth!"
She smiled sweetly and happily, opened her mouth and drank the medicine.
You can see that her brows were obviously frowned, but they soon relaxed, and the smile on her face never changed.
Li Quan knew that the medicine was bitter.
"Good medicine tastes bitter. Not all medicines can be sweetened."
Strictly speaking, it is best not to add sugar when taking Chinese medicine. Because white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar are all sucrose in the strict sense.
In essence, sugar is actually a medicine.
The combinations of Chinese medicines are usually well-calculated. If other medicines are added, the medicinal properties can easily change.
Moreover, sugar will affect the body's absorption of drug effects.
Therefore, you cannot add sugar when taking Chinese medicine.
