Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 262 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (52)

As more people are treated, more diseases are encountered.

Although most of them are just some seemingly ordinary minor ailments, we should not treat them carelessly. We need to analyze the specific situation. The most taboo thing in medical practice is to apply the same method mechanically.

Taking the common symptom of coughing up phlegm as an example, its causes can be varied.

Some patients may have coughing up phlegm due to the invasion of external evil qi, which blocks the meridians, causes poor qi movement, and depression.

Some are due to improper diet, which damages the spleen and stomach and causes the internal generation of phlegm and dampness.

Other possibilities are that there is too much heat in the body, which burns away the body fluids, or that cold and dampness condense and block the flow of Qi.

Although the symptoms of coughing up phlegm caused by these different causes may be similar on the surface, Chinese medicine emphasizes "different treatments for the same disease", that is, for the same symptom, the treatment method should be different due to its different causes.

This requires doctors to have profound theoretical knowledge and rich experience in order to accurately determine the cause of the disease and then develop a targeted treatment plan.

Treating a disease is not as simple as prescribing the right medicine. What is more important is to treat the disease based on syndrome differentiation, find out the root cause of the disease, and solve the problem fundamentally.

While accumulating experience and improving his medical skills, Wen Rushi was also thinking about whether he could make a breakthrough.

At the beginning, she looked down on those so-called folk remedies, thinking that they were all deceptive and harmful things.

Especially when they saw the old man whose feet were rotten due to the application of homemade ointment and were almost at the point of amputation, Wen Rushi and Jiang Qiuchen both had a look of helplessness in their eyes.

The room in front of him was extremely dark and damp. The old man had rotten feet and could only lie in bed all day, having long lost the ability to move.

The old woman's husband died in the war, and her two children died early. She was the only one left at home. It was her next-door neighbor who couldn't bear to see her and brought them here.

"Doctor Wen, please help take a look. This old woman is really pitiful."

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to come to the village for free medical treatment, I'm afraid she would never be able to see a decent doctor until she died."

Although they had seen all kinds of patients before, the stench of decay still made them almost run away the moment they lifted the thin quilt.

"Ugh - I won't waste any more time here, I'll go out first."

The villager who was in charge of leading the way obviously couldn't stand the strong stench. After giving a few simple instructions, he ran away with his nose pinched.

In the end, Wen Rushi and Jiang Qiuchen held on tightly because of their compassion as doctors. They went out to take a breath and then returned to the house.

After a careful look, Wen Rushi sighed deeply.

"Old woman, your feet are rotting due to the accumulation of dampness and heat. You need to use the method of clearing away heat and detoxifying to eliminate the heat and dampness in your body."

"If you had used the right medicine from the beginning, it wouldn't have taken too long to heal. But you mixed up a lot of mixed ointments and applied them to the wound, which caused it to fester even more."

"It's not easy to cure you completely now, and it will cost a lot of money. I can only prescribe some medicine to help you relieve some of the pain."

This feeling of helplessness made Wen Rushi very uncomfortable, but no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't make the completely rotten flesh grow again, right?

Perhaps there is such a method, but it is bound to be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and require financial support.

The old woman's family is poor and she has no children to help her. Not to mention the money for her medical treatment, she even has to tighten her belt for food. It's really difficult for her.

Not to mention that she is old, her body functions are declining, and she cannot keep up in all aspects. Even if she takes good medicine, it will take her longer than ordinary people to recover.

From a rational point of view, there was no need to rescue this patient, and giving up at the right time might save her pain. The old woman lying on the bed seemed to have anticipated her own end, trembling her dry lips, sobbing, and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Occasionally, some unknown small insects would quickly crawl across the damp walls, and the sparse friction sounds were mixed with whimpering sounds.

The whole room was filled with a faint sense of death, and the stench that wafted past the nose made people feel uncomfortable all over.

Looking at Wen Rushi's embarrassed profile, Jiang Qiuchen didn't say anything, but pulled her out of the house first.

When he returned to the courtyard where the sun was shining, Wen Ru just now dared to take a deep breath and relax. After he had recovered his spirit, he hurriedly started to care about Jiang Qiuchen.

"Miss Jiang, the smell is so bad that it makes you feel unwell?"

"You've been traveling with me to many places recently, and you've lost a lot of weight due to exhaustion. If you're not feeling well, don't force yourself to go. Just wait for me outside."

"I have to go in and take a thorough look to determine which herbs can help this old woman to the greatest extent."

"Alas, although there is little hope, you can't let people die in agony."

Obviously, this matter is very tricky, and even Wen Rushi can't find the best way to solve it.

A look of worry flashed across Jiang Qiuchen's face, and he reached out and patted Wen Rushi's shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this matter, just leave it to me."

Wen Rushi widened his eyes, seemingly not understanding what Jiang Qiuchen meant.

"Miss Jiang, do you have any magic trick?"

"The old woman's feet are completely rotten. You saw it just now. The bones are almost exposed."

"I do know that there are a few herbs that have this miraculous effect, but those herbs grow deep in the sacred mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find them at all."

"Even I can get a glimpse of some clues from medical books, so don't joke around."

Wen Rushi looked serious, but it was not that she was unwilling to believe Jiang Qiuchen.

Precisely because she understood the seriousness of the matter too well, she had to make it clear.

What Wen Rushi said was indeed true, but Jiang Qiuchen, who possessed the Tianyun Yaohua medicine, was a thousand times more powerful than those elixirs.

"Oh, leave it to me, it's okay, I promise I can handle it!"

"I've known you for so long, when have I ever lied to you?"

Jiang Qiuchen's serious look left Wen Rushi speechless for a moment. What she said was indeed right. For so many days, the two of them had relied on each other, and Wen Rushi believed in her from the bottom of his heart.

"Can……"

But before this, Jiang Qiuchen had never shown any sign that he had medical skills?
Wen Rushi looked puzzled. If he didn't rely on medical skills, he couldn't rely on mysterious magic, right? But Miss Jiang didn't look like a charlatan who would wander around the world, did she?
Just when Wen Rushi was feeling anxious and confused, Jiang Qiuchen gestured for her to stay where she was and waited, and he turned around and ran in.

"Stand still and wait for me. I'll call you back in later!"

"Eh--"

Wen Rushi was about to ask her to stop, but Jiang Qiuchen had already run into the dark door frame.
