Yu Shufang has worked here for a long ti and is given the treatnt of a cadre, so she has her own dormitory, not far from the family building area.
When the three of them arrived, Yu Shufang was already in a semi-conscious state from the pain.
Ma Xiuli entered the room and hurriedly dragged Yu Shufang up from the floor. Shen Junping quickly went to help, and together they lifted Yu Shufang onto the bed.
Seeing the alarming spread of red on the bed, Shen Junping frowned deeply. Though he was a doctor, he knew little about gynecology and suddenly felt at a loss, not even knowing where to begin.
In the past, in such situations, the first step would be to stop the bleeding, but now the blood wasn’t coming from a wound. How was he supposed to stop this bleeding?
"Doctor Shen, please help buy these herbs. There’s no need to buy too much, just a little of each will do, no need for a set amount," Beisitian said, handing Shen Junping a sheet of paper.
Shen Junping was slightly stunned. During the short ti he was in a daze, Beisitian had already listed out quite a few herbs on the paper.
Cuscuta seed, mulberry mistletoe, mugwort, ramie root, Cornus officinalis, cyathula...
Looking at the list with over twenty types of Chinese herbs, Shen Junping was dazzled, and there were many he had never even heard of.
"I’ll first relieve her pain and then start the treatnt once the herbs arrive," Beisitian said to the expectant Ma Xiuli, then turned to Shen Junping, "Please hurry."
Feeling helpless, Shen Junping nodded quickly and went out to buy the herbs.
"Can it really be cured?" Ma Xiuli asked incredulously.
Beisitian pulled open Yu Shufang’s clothes and inserted silver needles into several points on her lower abdon and the back of her hand. She turned her head at the question, "If you don’t believe I can cure her, why ask to do it?"
Ma Xiuli was speechless. Having never encountered such a situation before, she was understandably panicked and instinctively clung to a lifeline without considering whether it was truly reliable.
It was in this mont of desperation that she sought out Beisitian, without holding much hope in her heart.
Now seeing Beisitian addressing the situation so calmly and quickly, she was startled, realizing that she might actually be able to cure her.
At least with soone composed and capable handling the situation, she no longer felt so panicked and lost.
After a few needles, Yu Shufang’s curled-up body slightly relaxed, though her face was still marked by pain.
"She’s still in pain!" Ma Xiuli cried as she saw Beisitian about to remove the needles.
Beisitian cast her a helpless look, "Don’t go around saying you’re a doctor."
"What?"
"If the root cause isn’t cured, the pain will persist. I’m just trying to alleviate her suffering a bit," Beisitian snapped, then added, "Next ti while I’m treating a patient, don’t interrupt."
Speechless, Ma Xiuli felt both frustrated and unable to argue, only able to watch Beisitian resentfully.
"Why are you just standing there! Go and fetch so hot water!" Beisitian said, frowning at Ma Xiuli idling by the side.
"You—I..." Ma Xiuli had never been ordered around like this before.
Beisitian stood there quietly, her dark eyes watching her intently.
"Alright, alright, I’m going right away!" Ma Xiuli surrendered under that stern gaze, not thinking it was the gaze that backed her down but knowing she had to comply out of necessity.
Perhaps knowing Yu Shufang had a chance at treatnt, Ma Xiuli beca more active, drying the tears on her face, and under Beisitian’s prompting, began to work.
"Should we clean up Sister Yu a bit?" Ma Xiuli asked, looking at the bloodstains on the bed and pants.
Beisitian turned to look at her. Willing to help clean private areas suggested her relationship with Yu Shufang was even better than she’d imagined.
"Not now. There’s a tumor, stopping the bleeding is difficult," Beisitian said.
The bleeding wasn’t severe now, only causing potential anemia, not hemorrhagic shock.
"There won’t be any danger, right?" Ma Xiuli asked worriedly.
"Not for the ti being, but it’s hard to say if it drags on," Beisitian replied.
She was waiting for Shen Junping to return.
"The nearest traditional Chinese dicine pharmacy is in the city. Even a round trip by car for Doctor Shen takes an hour..." Ma Xiuli started to chatter once she had free ti.
Beisitian’s face darkened, "You could help by changing her bed sheets, taking off her pants, and putting sothing underneath."
Keeping her busy would help.
Having been ordered around once, Ma Xiuli had grown accustod and imdiately began working, clearing away the chatter.
Beisitian pondered how to resolve the issue. With current dical technology, the uterus could just be removed, the most effective solution and a complete cure.
But the uterus is imnsely important to a woman; losing it feels like losing her femininity. This was a view that most people of this era couldn’t quite accept, which was completely understandable.
That Yu Shufang resisted was within reason, leaving Beisitian with no choice but to use a second thod, which also has significant side effects and requires Yu Shufang’s consent.
Roughly forty minutes later, Shen Junping returned, carrying a bag full of paper-wrapped herbs. Beisitian took the herbs and instructed the two not to disturb her, then went to the kitchen, locking the door behind her.
Shen Junping and Ma Xiuli assud she was brewing dicine, growing anxious in their hearts. How long would brewing take?
Shen Junping was quite skeptical; he’d asked the shop assistant when buying the herbs and learned most were for stabilizing pregnancy and stopping bleeding, as well as clearing heat and dispelling dampness.
He understood stopping bleeding, but what was the deal with stabilizing pregnancy?
He planned to ask clearly later; he couldn’t let Beisitian go astray.
His original thought was to take her directly to the hospital for surgery, but knowing Yu Shufang’s stubborn nature, if forced into this, she might not want to live anymore.
Shen Junping sighed. While he wasn’t very familiar with gynecological issues, he knew if a tumor wasn’t handled properly, it could be very troubleso, especially with the hospital ntioning potential malignancy. He seriously doubted Beisitian could cure it.
Traditional Chinese dicine was far behind in this area.
Shortly after, Beisitian erged from the kitchen, surprising both Shen Junping and Ma Xiuli when they saw her without the sll of herbal dicine drifting from her and only carrying a glass of clear water. They exchanged silent looks.
Beisitian placed the clear water on the table and used a silver needle to awaken Yu Shufang.
Yu Shufang, seeing the room full of people, was sowhat confused. Recalling the events, her expression dulled.
"Sister Yu, Beisitian says she can cure you!" Ma Xiuli quickly said, lowering her head.
Yu Shufang glanced at Beisitian before looking away. Other than removing the uterus, there was no other thod.
"Doctor Yu, you can be cured without removing the uterus, but the price for this thod is not small,"
