Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 682
"Did you see the doctor for your father's illness? Do you carry the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor with you?"

After the imperial physician surnamed Liu completed the complete set of procedures, he got up and went to the wooden basin to clean his hands, returned to his seat and asked questions.

"Back to Imperial Physician Liu, the villain took the pulse from a doctor found near his home in Nancheng and prescribed the medicine. After taking the medicine for a few days, there was no effect, so he asked someone to inquire about it, and then went to the king's doctor in Beicheng to find the medicine, but it was always good and sometimes bad.

The villain forgot to bring the prescription, why don't the villain go home and get it for you to see? "

Wang Qinian replied with a bent waist and a smiling face.

"Wang Miracle Doctor? What a loud tone!

Forget it, I will prescribe a prescription for your father, you can grab five medicines and decoct them every day before going to bed.

During the period of taking the medicine, meat and fishy food should not be eaten, and the diet should be light after recovery. The previous diet can be resumed after ten days. "

Physician Liu was carelessly instructing Wang Qinian, while dipping his brush in ink, he wrote on a piece of snow-white paper like a snake, and the beautiful regular script with one hand made Wang Qinian, who was quite literate, couldn't help applauding secretly.

"The villain dares to ask Imperial Physician Liu, is the amount of these five decoctions a little short? Can you prescribe a few more, so that my son will not have to hire a car and go from Nancheng to Xicheng for consultation."

After Wang Qinian's father turned his head and coughed a few times, panting slightly, he cupped his hands and forced a smile to plead with Imperial Physician Liu.

It's ten miles away from his home, and it costs eighty dollars to hire a carriage one way, and the same price for the return trip. Now he lost more than ten dollars, and there are two grandchildren in the family to support. .

Although my son has a salary of tens of taels of silver a year, he can't afford such expenses.

"inquiry?
These five decoctions are still due to your age and the delay in taking the medicine before, so I prescribed one more decoction. Otherwise, you only need four decoctions to recover immediately!

In the future, you will have to come here to see a doctor. This is an official hospital run by the imperial court. It was opened by the Holy Majesty for the benefit of the people. This official and some colleagues have just come here for consultation. You should have a good life and keep this kindness in your heart!
In the future, don't trust the clever tongue of Lao Shizi's genius doctor. What kind of good prescriptions can this quack doctor come up with besides cheating money?

Your father's illness is caused by moisture entering the interior, and improper medication can cause spleen deficiency and lung heat. These minor illnesses don't need to take medicine at first, and they can be cured after five days. You have no choice but to take him to the doctor with good intentions, but the more you treat it, the worse it gets. up!

Well, take your father to the lobby to get the medicine, and take the money back! "

The imperial physician surnamed Liu picked up the prescription, dried it with a breath, and handed it to Wang Qinian. After patiently explaining it, he raised his hand and urged the two to leave quickly.

He is a native of the capital, his ancestors have practiced medicine for generations, and his family medical skills are extremely superb. He has been working in the Imperial Hospital for ten years when he is over forty years old, and he has firmly established himself in the Imperial Hospital with masters such as Lin.

Speaking of fame, the doctors in the capital also expressed their admiration when they mentioned Liu Banshan's name.

In the ten years of his career as an imperial doctor, he had been in contact with high-ranking nobles on a daily basis, so Liu Banshan has developed a serious temperament. Although he is no longer willing to contact ordinary people, the instinct of a doctor still determines his diagnosis and treatment. Time will not be perfunctory.

Liu Banshan, who was born in a medical family, has no shortage of money, and what he wants most is to be able to leave his name in history in the future.

If you want to leave a name in history, you must have a level and works that cannot be surpassed by others in medical skills. At least like Wu Youxing, you must have exceptionally outstanding abilities in a certain aspect of the medical field.

The so-called surgery is a new field that has never appeared before. If you want to achieve your wish and win greater glory for Liu, this is an excellent opportunity.

It's noon now, and some colleagues will come to hand over to him later, and there is another important matter that needs to be attended by him in the afternoon.

In the operating room at the back of the hospital in the afternoon, Wu Youxing will personally demonstrate and explain human anatomy to the six imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, and he will be one of them.

Thinking of the surgical operation mentioned by Wu Youxing, Department of Health, Liu Banshan felt itchy.

Years ago, when the Department of Health organized a doctor with excellent medical skills to go south, Liu Banshan was in Lintao Prefecture to diagnose and treat the back disease of the governor Cao Wenzhao, so he didn't have the opportunity to join the first batch of autopsies.

After returning to the capital from Lintao Mansion, Liu Banshan, who learned of this letter, felt extremely regretful.

It has been seven days since the establishment of the hospital, and not many people have come to seek medical treatment. Most of them are frightened by the name of the imperial hospital. This kind of model that has never been heard of makes ordinary people dare not Step into the hospital gate.

And those dignitaries relying on their status have not come here for medical treatment so far. Liu Banshan was on duty this morning, and Wang Qinian's father was the first patient Liu Banshan received, and he was still suffering from this kind of cold and minor illness. Liu Banshan, who wanted to explore some intractable diseases, was very disappointed.

Wang Qinian saw that Liu Banshan was a little impatient, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted to thank him, then put the silver ingot back into his sleeve with a embarrassed face, and took his father slowly to the front lobby.

Liu Banshan got up and moved his body. Looking at the hourglass in the consulting room, it was about noon. He guessed that there would be no more patients coming at this time, so he casually took off the double-breasted snow-white isolation gown, hung it on the hanger, Shi Shi ran out of the consultation room with his hands behind his back, and went to the cafeteria in the backyard to eat.

Wang Qinian brought his father to the lobby, handed the prescription to the woman who greeted them earlier, and followed the woman to the pharmacy on the side of the lobby, where the woman put the prescription on the long counter.

A middle-aged man picked up the prescription with a smile, took a look, and immediately began to sing the name and quantity of the medicinal materials listed on the prescription.

Several young apprentices spread square straw papers on the counter, and then opened the drawers of a long line of medicine cabinets, skillfully took out the medicines from the scales and began to weigh them.

After a while, all the medicinal materials on the prescription were weighed, and several apprentices wrapped several packets of medicinal materials with hemp rope and put them together. Smiling and said to Wang Qinian: "Guest officer, you have to pay a total of one cent and two cents for taking the medicine this time, look..."

Wang Qinian was stunned for a while when he heard the middle-aged man's report, and then asked in a tone of disbelief, "One cent and two cents? Could your store make a mistake? I heard it when you reported the name of the medicine just now." Now, although these medicinal materials are not expensive, why do these five soups cost more than two yuan? How can they be so cheap?"

"My guest, this hospital was set up by the emperor. In order to prevent the common people from being unable to afford medical treatment, all the medicinal materials are only slightly higher than the purchase price. This is the policy of the imperial court to benefit the people. Guest officer Just pay the bill!"
