The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

"NO.20."

In the afternoon, there was only the last old woman left in the empty main house. Supported by her son, she walked into the cubicle trembling slightly, with gray and sparse hair disheveled, a wrinkled face with pain, and red and dry lips.

"Zi Yan, pour a glass of water for the old man to drink." Li Ru'an put the number slip beside him, and got on his pulse.

"Thank you, female doctor, and Miss Ziyan." The old woman's son was full of gratitude on his simple and honest face, and took half a glass of water for A Niang.

"What's wrong with the old man?" The pulse was deep and tight, the patient's face was red, and the temperature on his hands was quite high.

"My mother didn't, er, didn't..." the simple and honest farmer couldn't say a word, his face was full of shame.

"You go out and wait, I will tell the lady doctor." The old woman pressed her abdomen, sighed and forced her son out before she said, "I had some abdominal pain more than ten days ago, and I didn't take it seriously at first. , Scraped some ash from the pot and drank it, but it didn’t improve, it was getting more and more painful, my stomach was bloated, I had a headache and nausea, I fainted twice, I couldn’t defecate for more than ten days..."

"In front of the doctor, the elderly should tell all the symptoms like this, so that the disease can be cured quickly." Seeing the shame on her face, Zi Yan persuaded with a smile.

"Let me see the tongue." Li Ru'an gave Zi Yan an appreciative glance, and signaled the old woman to open her mouth.

"Red tongue with yellow moss, tingling and cracking, hot and dry inside..." Li Ru'an murmured in a low voice, getting up and kneeling next to the old woman, lifting the clothes on her abdomen, frowning at the swollen belly that seemed to be six months pregnant.

Press lightly and firmly, the old woman hissed in pain, retched a few times, with a painful expression, "It hurts...Master doctor, what's wrong with me? I, am I pregnant? But my wife left It's been a few years, and this belly is weird..."

"No, old man, I suspect you have an intestinal obstruction..." Li Ru'an pressed several times, then turned his head and ordered to Zi Yan.

"Heat is in the body, fumigation is on the top, heat accumulates in the intestines, and if the qi is blocked, the abdomen will be swollen, the intestines will be obstructed, the face will be naked and the body will be hot, which is a sign of Yangming's heat. Ziyan, let Uncle Li use rhubarb two liang. , two combinations of Glauber's salt, three liang of Magnolia officinalis, three citrus aurantium, boil the medicine now, and then go to the kitchen to pour a bowl of raw oil, no lard."

"Okay!" Zi Yan was terrified by the bulging belly, quickly jotted down and ran out, startling the farmer at the door, who was anxious to turn around but dared not go in.

"Old man, I will give you the needle." Li Ru'an said as he untied the old woman's coat, lifted the clothes on the back, injected needles into the large intestine and small intestine on both sides, twisted twenty breaths, pulled it out, made the person lie flat, and changed the needle. The five-inch needle is placed on Daheng acupoint on the abdomen, the upper, middle and lower three caverns, the needle is inserted at Tianshu acupoint, and the needle is twisted for ten breaths to keep the needle still. The hand acupuncture is applied at Hegu and Quchi. Next two stitches, twist one by one.

"Relax, old man." Seeing the tense body of the old woman, Li Ru'an said in a low voice.

"Miss, the oil is here, and the medicine is already boiled." Zi Yan came in carefully carrying a bowl of yellow raw oil.

"Old man, drink it down." Li Ru'an pulled out all the needles, waited for her to put on her clothes, and moved the oil in front of her.

drink oil?The old woman looked at the bowl of ground bean-flavored oil in great pain, and said to herself, the oil that can be squeezed out with as many ground beans can be fried for half a month, and the female doctor told her to drink it dry.

The old woman retched and poured down the whole bowl of oil, her mouth full of greasy, Li Ru'an handed her a piece of watermelon frost lozenges to relieve her greasy, and ordered, "Don't go back, wait in the room, there is still soup to drink .”

"Hey, thank you, female doctor, thank you!" The doctor was free, and the medicine was given candy. The old woman was curious about the candy tablet in her mouth, got up and bowed before going out.

Li Ru'an stood up and stretched vigorously, and smiled at Zi Yan, "Are you hungry?"

Zi Yan was holding a wormwood and lighting it in the corner, pouted and complaining, "Miss, please don't mention eating when I'm working, okay?"

"Oh, forget it, you can go home by yourself, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat the roast duck from West Street, as well as roast chicken and minced meat pancakes, alas, it's so delicious!" Li Ru'an shrugged, half-closed his eyes and sighed road.

The stick in Zi Yan's hand that was holding the wormwood fell to the ground, she turned her head full of resentment, her mouth was flattened like that of a roast duck.

----

Most of the people had already received their numbers and went back. There were only a few newcomers queuing up at the registration desk in the hospital. A few medical boys were rarely free, turning over herbs in the sun, and Xu Li was fanning the fire in front of the medicine stove, his forehead slightly wet.

"Uncle Li, is the medicine ready?" Li Ru'an leisurely walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, followed by the anxious Zi Yan.

"Hurry up, female doctor, is this aunt's illness very serious?" Xu Li wiped off his sweat, looked at the mother and son sitting in the room, and asked worriedly.

"Maybe now, let her drink a big bowl first when it's ready, and I'll go to the back room to see those patients."

"The patients in the back room are all stable. The female doctor has worked hard all day. Let's go back first. The little ones are watching." Xu Li said in surprise.

"After the old man has taken the medicine, don't leave, just wait." Li Ru'an turned around and waved his hand, and walked to the back room.

Xu Li didn't understand why, so he sighed secretly, the female doctor really spared no effort!He poured out a bowl full of strong medicine that had been boiled, and fanned it for a while before bringing it into the house.

The mother and son thanked each other for their kindness, and drank the medicine in a big gulp. Just as they were about to get up and were told that they would have to wait here for a while, they could only sit down obediently.

"Auntie, how do you feel now?"

The old woman lifted up the wrinkles on her face and smiled, "Just now, after the female doctor gave me the needle, I felt a little more relaxed, but the bowl I drank was so greasy, such a large bowl of oil is enough for our family for half a month. , what a pity."

The mother and son chatted without saying a word, and after a quarter of an hour, the old woman suddenly frowned and pressed her bulging stomach, got up quickly, and shouted, "I, I'm going to the toilet!"

Toilet?The man is overjoyed, it's been a long time since my mother has been to the toilet, this medicine is really fast!

"Stinky boy! Help me quickly! Quick!" The old woman felt a strong urge to defecate, her hairs stood on end, she helped her son's hand and stepped out of the main house, and asked the medical boy anxiously, "Where is the toilet?" ?”

"Over there..." The medical boy was startled, and quickly pointed to the hut not far away, staring wide-eyed at the old man who was still staggering and rushing towards him.

"what happened?"

Seeing the female doctor coming from the back room, the medical boy quickly replied, "Then, the old man rushed to the toilet..."

"Master doctor, this, does this mean that my mother's illness is cured?" The man came back to his senses and was very pleasantly surprised.

"Wait until she comes out." Li Ru'an smiled and turned to enter the main room, let the medical boy pour tea, and chatted leisurely with Zi Yan.

"Miss, the old man's stomach is so big, is it because that didn't come out?" Zi Yan asked curiously.

"Well, there is also flatulence. When people are old, the function of the intestines will deteriorate. The intestines are the conduction device. If the intestines protrude and accumulate heat, they will consume body fluids, conduct incapacity, and dry up the inner knots, so the dirt will not pass. This disease is called intestinal obstruction. .”

Zi Yanji wrote down the notes, and then asked, "Why did Miss let her drink oil?"

Li Ru'an put down the teacup and explained, "The body is hot, and the accumulated filth is also dry and firm. The old man is old and weak, and he can't exert himself. Raw oil can lubricate the intestines and help defecate. Drink it again." It is a decoction that absorbs hot knots, softens the filth, and helps the exhaust, that's it."

"So that's how it is. It's like the iron lock embroidery on the box in our house dried up. My aunt also went to the kitchen to get some oil and put some oil on it, so it can slide." Zi Yan thought carefully and suddenly realized.

"Smart, it's almost the same reason. The old man will have shortness of breath after venting, so he has to prescribe some medicine to go back to replenish qi and blood." Li Ruan nodded with a smile, and pinched the soft flesh on his cheek in appreciation.
