A doctor who travels through two eras

The old man's nails were very hard, and Lin Sanqi had a hard time cutting them. After a while, a lot of black nail fragments had accumulated at the bottom of the bowl.

Why are their nails black instead of transparent like plastic? Because the old lady is a farmer, she has to do farm work, how can her nails be clean?

After trimming the nails, Lin Sanqi, who had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, wanted to take out the file and smooth out the broken nails for the old lady, but Mr. Shi urged her:

"Okay, okay, the patient is still waiting. Pour some alcohol into the bowl and light it with fire."

Mr. Shi's instructions left everyone confused again, but the benefits of authority were reflected at this time, because no clown jumped out to question them.

Lin Sanqi did as he was told and used a match to light the alcohol. Flames immediately appeared at the bottom of the bowl, followed by his fingernails which also began to burn, emitting a smell similar to that of plastic which was very pungent.

Mr. Shi took the bowl and put it directly under the old lady's nose, letting her inhale the black smoke from the nails.

"Suck it hard. Yes, don't stop. If you want to vomit, hold it in. Keep sucking..."

Lin Sanqi thought that the old man must have his reasons for doing this, maybe it was some folk remedy, but he didn't know how effective it was.
Everyone had the same idea as Lin Sanqi, so they all moved closer to see how the old lady would react.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the old lady who was originally sitting on the ground retching, suddenly vomited more violently after smelling the black smoke. She probably couldn't stand the stench.

Just when everyone thought that the remedy had failed, the old lady let out a long breath, and then the retching stopped immediately.

I stopped vomiting. Although I felt very weak and slumped on the ground, I no longer felt like vomiting.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly became agitated. Lin Sanqi's eyes widened and he asked curiously:
"Grandpa, can sniffing nail smoke stop hiccups? That's amazing."

Mr. Shi explained with a smile:
"When a human fingernail is lit it stinks. The gas descends very quickly and is inhaled into the throat. This is a sign that the lung qi is flowing first. This is in line with the principle that if you want to descend, you must first rise, and if you rise, you must descend. Do you understand?"

Lin Sanqi asked cautiously: "Old man, does this mean to fight poison with poison?"

"Yes, that's what I meant. I'm doing emergency treatment now, so I used a folk remedy. If you want to be more particular, you should take 5 cents of musk, mix it into tobacco, light it with fire and inhale it like smoking. This will be more effective in treating hiccups."

Lin Sanqi felt very happy as he had mastered another secret Chinese medicine remedy.

Although the old lady was still very weak, her retching had stopped, and her family members were naturally ecstatic:

"Doctor, is my mother already well? It's amazing. She got better after just a few puffs of cigarette. This is worthy of being the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Mr. Shi waved his hand:

"It can only be said that it has stopped temporarily. I will write you a prescription. Take it home and take one dose a day. Generally, it will take no more than three doses to be cured."

"Old Immortal, thank you~~~"

"Thank you so much, my mother's life is saved~~~"

Pan Ye had obediently fetched paper and pen by this time. Since Master Shi had been promoted to master, he naturally did not need to write the prescription himself, but had to let his disciples copy it:
"2 liang of roasted licorice root, 7 liang each of aconite root, dried ginger, and evodia rutaecarpa. Mark them down. These three herbs must be washed times before use. Add qian each of cloves and turmeric, and liang of red ginseng, stewed separately and then added."

Lin Sanqi was complaining in his heart again, thinking that Chinese medicine was really mysterious. Why did he have to wash it seven times? Would five times be enough? Would nine times be enough?

Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud. If he had, the old man would have beaten him to death.

"After a quarter of an hour, add six cents of ginger juice, 20 jujubes, and three catties of cold water. Simmer over low heat until one catty of concentrated juice is obtained. Take it in small amounts and multiple times. Not only the prescription should be clearly stated, but also the steps and precautions for decocting the medicine should be clearly stated, otherwise the effect will be very different."

Although Pan Ye was a TCM intern mass-produced by the university, he at least had some basic skills, and his calligraphy was beautiful enough. He wrote down the prescription dictated by the old man clearly.

Mr. Shi looked at it and nodded repeatedly, then looked up at the silly Lin Sanqi and couldn't help but smile at himself.

He already knew that if he was looking for a last disciple or successor, Pan Ye would definitely be qualified because he was talented and willing to learn.

It seems that Lin Sanqi can only be regarded as a guarantee for his future survival and cannot be expected too much. Of course, the old masters will not expel Lin Sanqi from the sect.

Lin Panax notoginseng has its own utilization value.

In extraordinary times, saving lives is of paramount importance, and food is life. Lin Sanqi can provide food and is also the team leader who manages them. To put it bluntly, the life and death of these 12 old men are controlled by Lin Sanqi.

If he wants to deal with these old guys, he has plenty of ways to do it, and they are all reasonable and legal, and no one will pursue him.

For example, let the old men work in the fields, assign them the heaviest farm work, and don't give them food if they don't finish it. Won't these old guys starve to death?
Who can say that Lin Sanqi is wrong? Maybe his superiors will even praise him for his correct thinking and positive performance.

So, as the saying goes, people become more cunning as they age. The old men knew that Lin Sanqi was useful, so they naturally wanted to actively win him over.

Of course, there is a basis of trust between the two parties. After all, Lin Sanqi has a clean background, is from a noble family, and has good character. Otherwise, the old men would not dare to give the medical books to him for safekeeping.

At this time, Xiao Song from the pharmacy came over with a bowl of medicine:

"Doctor Shi, the first party is here."

Mr. Shi walked back to the five children with intestinal knots and said to their families, "Give them medicine immediately, and everyone else please move aside."

Lin Sanqi wondered, why should others move aside?
He soon found out the answer, because after the five children were fed the medicine soup, they all started vomiting violently within five minutes, and they could even smell feces in their vomit...

Seeing the calm look on the old man's face, Lin Sanqi knew that the effect of the first dose of radish and Glauber's salt soup was to induce vomiting, or in Western medicine terms, gastrointestinal decompression.

Otherwise, the food residues above will pile up in the stomach and intestines, blocking the middle intestine and unable to move down. Over time, the food residues will change in quality and cause intestinal inflammation or necrosis.

Therefore, the first step is to induce vomiting of food residues, which can relieve pressure and cleanse the intestines.

When Mr. Shi saw that the children had almost finished vomiting, Xiao Song from the pharmacy brought the second portion of ochre soup, so he once again instructed the parents:

"Alright, alright, don't feel bad for the child. Treating the illness is more important. Hurry up and drink the second portion of the medicine."

According to Lin Sanqi's knowledge of Western medicine, intestinal obstruction requires absolute fasting, including liquids, because this will aggravate gastrointestinal irritation and burden.

This is another obvious difference between Chinese and Western medicine.

The parents continued to feed the child medicine in a panic.

At this time, several children were vomiting so much that they could not even sit still and had to be held by their parents.

It’s pitiful how pitiful the parents are. Even with the vomit all over the floor stinking, the parents are the only ones who don’t mind.

Oh, and as a doctor, you also have a caring heart. The three old men also did not step away, but stayed by the child’s side without frowning.

Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye had no complaints and followed behind to observe the patient's reaction.

However, Lin Sanqi still quietly took out a bottle of Fengyoujing and rubbed it next to his nose, then quietly handed it to Pan Ye, intending to use the smell of Fengyoujing to neutralize the smell of vomit.

Less than 10 minutes after the medicine was taken, the children's stomachs began to growl. The sound was very loud, and definitely not the kind of growling that comes from hunger.

Lin Sanqi was a little worried. "Grandpa, this is obviously a rapid increase in intestinal peristalsis. It will be troublesome if it doesn't perforate."

Mr. Shi shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice: "It's okay, just watch it."

Before she finished speaking, the little girl Yang Erni suddenly groaned: "Mom, my stomach hurts again, ouch~~~"

Just as Lin Sanqi was about to step forward to rescue her, he suddenly heard Yang Xiaoerni let out a loud fart that shook the earth.

“Puff~Puff puff puff~~~”

Lin Sanqi quickly retreated tactically and held his breath. Others say that loud farts don't stink, and stinky farts don't make loud noises, but this saying doesn't apply to Yang Erni at all.

The layman sees the details, while the expert sees the excitement. Whether it was Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye, or the staff of the Chinese medicine hospital who were watching, they all breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Because the sound of a fart also means that the patient's intestines are unblocked.

Soon after, the other four kids also started to fart. Yang Xiaoshan even farted so hard that all his shit came out. Needless to say, the stench at the scene was devastating.

Lin Sanqi wanted to continue his tactical retreat, but found that the three old men did not move, so he had to quietly return to his original position.

After hearing the fart sound, Mr. Shi smiled smugly and said gently to the parents:

"It's OK. The intestinal knot has been unblocked. Remember not to eat for a day and a night after you go back. Even if you have to eat, drink some porridge and eat a light meal. I guarantee you will be fine."

When the Yang family heard that their child was fine, they all knelt down excitedly and kowtowed:

"Thank you, thank you, doctor!"

"You are our family's great benefactors!"

Don't doubt it, even ordinary people know that intestinal knot in ancient times, or in this era, is almost a terminal illness, and people will die in pain in the end.

These kids were lucky to have met the four famous doctors in Peking. If they had met Lin Sanqi, a half-baked doctor, they would probably have been dead.

Lin Sanqi scratched his head, but felt that some things still needed to be said directly:
"Don't thank me, just pay the medical bills. Even if we don't make any money from your registration fees and consultation fees, at least we have to pay for the medicine, right?"

This is the first order for the Chinese medicine hospital. If it is free for the first order, do you believe that all the patients in Changping will come to seek free medical treatment tomorrow?

There is no such thing as grand opening promotions in public hospitals. If you give this for free but not that, it will be hard to fool the people. So will the hospital still operate?
The rules must be set at the beginning, and reducing or exempting patients who have difficulties in the future will be a matter for the future.

The Yang and Yan families were also quite resolute, nodding and bowing: "Of course, of course, we will raise the money right away!" (End of this chapter)
