Back in the consultation room.
Lin Miao opened the bundle and saw that it contained two dical Case Collections and a handwritten letter from Wan Bin to him.
He first glanced at Wan Bin’s handwritten letter.
In the letter, Wan Bin naturally expressed high recognition and appreciation for him, especially since his prescription saved Prince Jing’s grandson, which made him stand out in the Imperial Pharmacy.
Now, no one is sarcastic towards him anymore.
The better Lin Miao perford, the better his days in the Imperial Pharmacy were, as their futures are now completely intertwined.
Therefore, although Wan Bin couldn’t help him much in Li Jing, he did what he could.
Besides actively promoting Lin Miao, he also transcribed so dical Case Collections by Sun the dicine King and Xu Mi Tuo, sending them to him via express service.
Other’s stones can be used to polish jade.
These two thick dical Case Collections represented Wan Bin’s earnest wishes for him.
Wan Bin said in his letter that the "trial" progress of Sun the dicine King and Xu Mi Tuo was much faster than his, and these two dical Case Collections were completed when they were one-third through.
Now, it might be that they’ve finished more than half by now.
As for Lin Miao, he’s only just over one-third through.
The progress is a bit slow, but ti-wise, it’s still quite sufficient.
Since Wan Bin sent the dical Case Collections, of course, Lin Miao studied them with a humble attitude during his leisure ti in consultations.
Sun the dicine King and Xu Mi Tuo beca famous at a young age and indeed have extraordinary talents. In diagnosing, one focuses on distinguishing flavors and the other on inspecting colors.
This thod of inspecting colors is sowhat similar to the Xu Family’s Qi Observation Skill, but the Qi Observation Skill has more of a "mystical" elent.
Essentially, complexion and Qi are the sa concept.
As for dication, both have their own rits.
Sun the dicine King was born in the powerful sect of the dicine King’s Sect (Bozhou), having seen all kinds of dicinal materials, even if they’re not available, they can be concocted on the spot.
Therefore, Sun the dicine King doesn’t typically consider the financial burden on the patient’s family when prescribing. If he can use expensive dicine, he won’t opt for the cheap ones.
Anyway, if the patient lacks money, the dicine King’s Sect will subsidize them directly to ensure that Sun the dicine King perfectly passes the trial of the "Path of Sanctification."
This made Lin Miao sigh, indeed, the power of money is formidable.
But isn’t this against the rules?
Or perhaps, they can make it not against the rules. After all, rules have loopholes; if you can’t exploit them, it doesn’t an others can’t.
If a trialist sponsors a patient to take dicine, what can anyone say? As long as the dication that cures the disease is consistent with the prescribed treatnt, doesn’t it prove the high level of his dical skills?
Lin Miao cannot act so arrogantly, and even if he could, it’s only temporary, can he continue to act like this forever?
The dications prescribed by Xu Mi Tuo, from the Reclining Buddha Temple (Bianzhou), are relatively simpler. As a monk, he doesn’t possess Sun the dicine King’s extravagant lifestyle; although he also treats wealthy families, most of his patients are poor, so his prescriptions are very economical, generally comprising five ingredients, never exceeding nine, making his approach appear conservative but undeniably effective.
Moreover, Sun the dicine King excels in nourishing, while Xu Mi Tuo is skilled in purging.
These two indeed each have their own characteristics.
So of the prescriptions, even after Lin Miao deliberated over them, he found to be very ingenious; he indeed underestimated the physicians of this world.
They all have extraordinary skills.
If he hadn’t traveled through ti, he really couldn’t compare to these two.
He indeed underestimated the heroes of the world.
The two dical Case Collections included nearly five hundred classic cases. Lin Miao had Xia Zhu and Xu Qixi transcribe them to take back; good things are ant to be shared.
...
On this day, a normal consultation.
A woman ca in, saying her neck was swollen, making swallowing difficult, and she couldn’t eat.
"Auntie, how long have you had this condition?" Lin Miao reached out and touched the swelling on the woman’s neck, asking.
"For a long ti now." The woman’s complexion was not good, sowhat dull, and her lips were gray-white, seemingly showing signs of anemia.
After palpation, Lin Miao found it was a tumor with a hard texture, but the surface seed uneven, imdiately suspecting it to be a thyroid tumor (stone goiter).
Upon further palpation, he discovered the mass moved with swallowing, causing difficulty in eating, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a dark complexion.
Her tongue was dark with petechiae, the coating was thin and white, and her pulse was deep, thin, and wiry, indicating liver Qi stagnation and a combination of phlegm and blood stasis.
The prescription used is Haizao Yuhu Decoction combined with Muxiang Liuqi Drink: Sargassum, White Peony Root, Bur Cucumber, Costus Root (added last), Prunella, Dioscorea Opposita, Turric, Fritillaria, Scrophularia, Radix cynanchi Paniculati, Pinellia, and Oyster Shell (first decocted).
"Take ten doses of this dicine first, then co back for a follow-up." Lin Miao didn’t say much more; this illness mostly occurs in middle-aged won over forty, and by the ti intervention is needed, it’s often too late.
The dication can only prolong the patient’s life.
Therefore, he didn’t want to say much. Once he spoke, the patient might completely give up treatnt. This illness is originally caused by emotions. Seeing her family’s not well-off conditions, with nded clothes, she might not know, but still actively treat and live longer. Once she knows, the increased psychological burden might an she won’t live long.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" The woman thanked him profusely and left with the prescription.
Doctors are not omnipotent. When faced with such an illness, doctors don’t have a better redy; even in his original world, Western dicine’s treatnt thods couldn’t cure it, also only able to prolong patient life and improve their quality of life.
