Feng Xiyun wrote down the prescription.
By this ti, Pang Nan and Xiao Wu had finished catching up and returned to the main hall.
Feng Xiyun said, "Right now, I can only write a prescription based on the symptoms described by the doctors here. First, we should brew this dicine for the patients. If there is improvent, that’s good; if not, we might really need a face-to-face consultation."
Saying this, he handed the prescription to Pang Nan.
Pang Nan quickly took it and said, "I will imdiately arrange for soone to prepare the dicine according to Doctor Feng’s prescription."
"Do they have all the necessary herbs in Changn County?" Feng Xiyun asked with concern.
"Rest assured, Doctor Feng. The emperor had already arranged for all kinds of herbs to be sent to Changn from across the country, and everything is well-prepared." Pang Nan quickly replied.
Feng Xiyun nodded and reminded, "You must follow my prescription exactly when brewing the dicine; there can be no mistakes. After it’s brewed, give it to the patients suffering from the epidemic."
"Understood," Pang Nan agreed, taking the prescription and preparing to leave.
"Lord Pang, wait a mont." An Ning called out to Pang Nan.
Pang Nan frowned, showing a hint of displeasure on his face.
Initially, he had so respect for the doctors coming to Changn County, but now he felt a bit frustrated because of this particular doctor.
At this critical mont, the focus should be on saving lives.
Why is he making such a fuss?!
"Lord Pang, I have a better and more effective way to save the patients from the epidemic," An Ning spoke again.
After pondering for a while, she decided to approach them directly for a discussion.
Everyone involved in controlling the epidemic here, be it Pang Nan, Xiao Wu, or Feng Xiyun, is dedicated to curing it. As long as the goal is the sa, An Ning believed she could persuade them.
"And what thod do you have now?!" Pang Nan said impatiently, "Don’t delay Doctor Feng’s efforts to save lives."
"Doctor Feng just wrote down the prescription, but even he ntioned that without a face-to-face consultation, it’s not certain to cure the disease. Therefore, it definitely can’t be given to all patients with the epidemic, only to a few to observe their reactions; otherwise, it would waste precious herbs," An Ning explained.
Pang Nan paused for a mont.
He had initially planned to prepare the dicine for all the epidemic patients.
This doctor’s reminder made him realize his near mistake.
Although herbs are abundant, they can’t withstand such waste.
Also, to alleviate the symptoms of epidemic patients, herbal decoctions are prepared daily and administered, and the supply of herbs is starting to beco tight.
"And if we first administer the dicine to a few patients, since we are not with them, we can’t promptly observe their reaction to the dicine and therefore can’t quickly determine if it’s effective," An Ning said earnestly, "So the best way is for to go to the quarantine area and observe the patients’ reactions after using the dicine. Doctor Feng can then adjust the treatnt based on the information I provide daily."
Pang Nan was sowhat convinced, but then he thought, "Once you enter, you will surely get infected. If you get infected, how will you treat other patients, and how can you relay information to Doctor Feng?"
"If I don’t go in, eventually Doctor Feng will have to," An Ning stated bluntly, "As doctors, we know too well that if we can’t see the patients and monitor the dication’s effects, we can’t treat the disease effectively. The prescription Doctor Feng wrote today is just a gamble. If we win, everyone will be saved, but if we lose, we will have delayed saving people. And from what I’ve heard, people are dying every day now, we can’t drag this on."
Pang Nan was still a bit hesitant.
"I am just a minor Jianghu Doctor; if I’m infected, it’s not a big deal, as there are many like . But if Doctor Feng gets infected, then the people of Changn County really have no hope," An Ning persuaded again, "So I will assist Doctor Feng with face-to-face consultations inside, while he handles the prescriptions outside. With this collaboration, I believe we will quickly find a cure for the epidemic."
"Doctor Feng, would this thod be more effective?" Xiao Wu asked Feng Xiyun.
"He’s right. I can’t guarantee that today’s prescription will truly cure the epidemic. Even with face-to-face consultations, treating a new infectious disease often requires trial and error and repeated attempts before we can hope for a cure," Feng Xiyun nodded and said.
"In that case, I agree with you entering to collaborate with Doctor Feng," Xiao Wu straightforwardly said.
As long as it helps treat the epidemic, he had no reason to refuse.
Hearing Xiao Wu’s words, Pang Nan also did not object anymore.
"Then once Lord Pang finishes preparing the dicine, let deliver it to the quarantine area," An Ning said.
"Alright." Pang Nan nodded.
Receiving a positive response, An Ning secretly sighed in relief.
Indeed, there was no need to resort to any underhanded ans; as long as it’s the right thing and explained clearly, they would agree.
In the afternoon.
An Ning took the decocted dicine, prepared by Pang Nan, along with Guan Yu to the quarantine area.
There were too many patients inside, so she needed Guan Yu’s help.
Pang Nan personally escorted her to the quarantine area, and Xiao Wu accompanied them as well.
As she was about to enter, Xiao Wu suddenly called out, "Doctor."
An Ning turned back.
"May I know your na?" Xiao Wu asked.
An Ning, surprised, thought for a mont and answered, "You can just call A Li."
"A Li?" Xiao Wu frowned a bit.
An Ning had casually made up a na on the spot.
"Do you have any instructions?"
Xiao Wu, being straightforward, said, "I admire your courage and self-sacrifice! If this epidemic is successfully controlled, I will be sure to credit your efforts."
"Thank you, Lord." An Ning accepted without hesitation.
Should Xiao Jinxing truly offer a reward, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.
"Make sure you return safely, and when you do, I’ll treat you to a drink." Xiao Wu said emotionally.
An Ning was a bit surprised.
Xiao Wu was acting quite familiar.
She hadn’t realized before that he could be so talkative.
Perhaps Lu You’s influence was good.
"It’s settled then." Xiao Wu didn’t wait for An Ning’s agreent and patted her shoulder, making the decision for her.
Xiao Wu had trained in martial arts from a young age and used a bit more strength.
A light pat on her shoulder left An Ning feeling a slight ache.
"Why are you so thin?!" Before An Ning could express any pain, Xiao Wu asked, frowning.
"I..." An Ning didn’t know how to explain.
"As a man, how can you be so skinny?" Xiao Wu pinched her shoulder.
"..." An Ning endured.
In that mont, she wondered if Xiao Wu knew who she really was, would he cripple his own arm?!
