Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2055 Handwritten Prescription
After taking the medication, Accountant Yu showed no reaction whatsoever, as if she hadn't taken the medication at all.

This was the first time Dr. Gong had ever seen such a method of medication. She didn't have any doubts at all; on the contrary, she felt that the young master's medical skills were profound and amazing! At the same time, she felt a sense of awe for the new TCM medicine, especially the new era TCM medicine under the framework of the so-called "numerical medicine" school.

Accountant Yu's condition is definitely a severe case among intractable illnesses. If it weren't for her youth, relatively good family financial situation, and the presence of a kind and well-educated father, she might have already developed symptoms such as limb atrophy, cerebellar atrophy, and cardiopulmonary dysfunction, and might even be partially paralyzed at home. Even so, compared to before her illness, Accountant Yu herself says she has gained at least 20 pounds. She has tried every possible method, but her weight continues to increase, albeit at a relatively slow rate; she just can't control it.

The young owner must be quite confident to take on this matter.

Dr. Gong considered himself to be lacking in skill. Although his medical skills could improve every now and then and he would occasionally have some small surprises, compared with the young master, he seemed to still be wandering outside the gate of the "numerical medicine" school!
Silently encouraging himself, Dr. Gong became even more serious and meticulous in his work.

Teacher Yu was worried about his daughter, so he picked her up and dropped her off at the clinic every day without fail. The father and daughter spent all their time at the clinic, and through this exposure, they had long been aware that Bian Mu's medical skills were almost unfathomable. As for the lack of immediate results, they figured they could just let it be! In any case, right now, no one but Master Bian was able to do anything about it.

The Yu family father and daughter rarely said much. Every day, they went to work as usual, and when they came home, they would chat and laugh and go home to cook something delicious. Compared to their previous dull life, it was like a completely different world now.

Bian Mu knew what was going on, so he naturally didn't say anything more. After completing the diagnostic process of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, he simply said, "Let's stop the medication for a few days first."

……

Painter Fang prefers a quiet environment, so Bian Mu set up two Go booths on the third floor of the clinic. Each "go room" can accommodate six groups of people playing at the same time. Tea and fruit are provided free of charge. However, not just anyone is allowed to go upstairs for a few games. In the first phase, everyone is an old acquaintance. Those who are unknown to him cannot swipe the access card at the entrance of the third-floor staircase. Bian Mu checks each person and issues an access card as he goes.

Over time, Bi Shaoxiong and his nephew became regulars there. Later, Chen Yueqing, Wen Boyong, and others also came to join in the fun. Gradually, with their involvement, the two "chess rooms" upstairs became a bit insufficient. Inevitably, one needed to have a certain status to enter those two "chess rooms".

Bian Mu saw this and knew in his heart that this was not good. What was originally a clear and flowing stream had now become a VIP area, and ordinary patients and their families, as well as those lively and lovely children, could not find seats at all.

Gradually, ordinary people gave up in the face of difficulties.

Well, Master Bian is an exceptional person. How low could the people he interacts with be? Ordinary people are very reasonable. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic isn't a place for just anyone to frequent. It's only because Master Bian is kind-hearted and doesn't charge exorbitant prices that he doesn't come. Try bringing in someone of equal skill! They'd be ashamed if they didn't make a few million a year!

Well! Bian Mu's original intention gradually became less and less desirable.

However... it has inadvertently created a lot of business opportunities, so it can be considered a trade-off!

...At the same time, Bian Mu changed his habit of printing prescriptions with a printer and specially commissioned Grandpa Yang, a business owner at "Huatian Ghost Market," to find a professional to customize a kind of old-fashioned prescription paper with an antique feel. It was a special paper mixed with a lot of Aden cotton and linen, with excellent ink absorption, and it looked antique and heavy.

Bian Mu placed the computer in a less conspicuous spot, and then solemnly laid out the Four Treasures of the Study—brush, ink, paper, and inkstone—on the consultation table. He had been taught calligraphy since childhood under his grandfather's tutelage, and now it came in handy. Among the many styles of calligraphy, Bian Mu had a particular fondness for the "Wei Stele" style. Soon, patients and their families at the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic headquarters received formal Chinese medicine prescriptions written by Bian Mu himself.

Immediately, people took photos to commemorate the occasion, saying that the prescriptions printed out by the printer were incomparable to these. They added an indescribable sense of intimacy and weight, and holding them in one's hands felt reassuring, as if they were imbued with the weight of countless lives.

Bian Mu's prescriptions naturally flowed to various pharmacies on the street. Some quick-witted and educated people who knew their value would rewrite them and give them to the pharmacies to fill the prescriptions. People would collect the original handwritten prescriptions as souvenirs. Some even went to street printing shops and paid to have them laminated so that they could be preserved for a long time.

Bian Mu has at least 10 years of experience in calligraphy. In addition, his internal energy is improving day by day. His vigorous "Wei stele" style is indeed extraordinary and has become a popular topic of conversation in Lijin City.

It was only then that people realized that almost all the renowned doctors in charge of the national-level medical clinics in the city still wrote their prescriptions by hand. However, apart from the older generation of doctors like Nie Yixiong and Cen Songxue who used calligraphy brushes, the other doctors had generally switched to using ballpoint pens.

When the news spread, whether by coincidence or by mutual understanding, Zhao Xicheng, Lan Bingru, and others also changed their prescriptions to be written in tiny, handwritten characters.

Upon hearing that their branch office owner had switched to using calligraphy to write prescriptions, Dr. Ning and Luo Zhanqi immediately set up the printer for another purpose, obtaining writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones from Nurse Ye, and following Bian Mu's lead, they also switched to "traditional Chinese style."

Liang Xiangyin has always insisted on using a brush to write prescriptions and record medical records. Lately, he has switched to using prescription paper specially provided by Nurse Ye. The old man writes beautiful regular script, and everyone who sees it praises him.

Dr. Ning has excellent calligraphy skills, thanks to her family's long tradition of calligraphy. Her solid foundation has earned her a great deal of praise.

Surprisingly, Luo Zhanqi wrote a very impressive small regular script in the Ouyang Xun style, with vigorous strokes and a dignified character, clearly showing that he had practiced it since childhood.

Although Dian Shuhua had not yet obtained the prescription authority, he began to write documents as much as possible when the branch needed them. This was a way of echoing the head of the branch. People were surprised to find that Doctor Dian had excellent cursive script. While it might be an exaggeration to say that his brushstrokes were like dragons, his calligraphy was truly excellent!
As a result, word gradually spread on the streets that if a person can't even write calligraphy well, they'll probably only be able to become an ordinary traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the future, and they'll have no chance of getting into a proper national medical clinic.

Gu Yuefeng and others were also skilled with calligraphy brushes. Hearing that the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic had quietly begun to ignite a small trend of traditional Chinese medicine culture, they discussed it in their group chat and immediately began to follow suit. Old Liang, the forest ranger and group leader, provided timely assistance. In no time, a small wave of promoting traditional Chinese medicine culture quietly swept through Lijin City…

……

Old Hou also has beautiful handwriting. Next to the Go area, he specially placed a large table facing the street. If anyone felt itchy to try their hand at calligraphy, he would happily offer them cigarettes and pour them tea. In no time, Old Hou's studio became quite lively, with more and more people coming to deliver books, order books, and buy books.
