Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 696: A medicine that must not be known to the patient (Monthly ticket plus more)
"What...what disease?" Fang Yongxiang looked at Fang Yan in confusion, not quite understanding what it meant.

Fang Yan wrote it down on a piece of paper with a pen and pushed it in front of Fang Yongxiang.

The other party finally saw how these two words were written:
"Fox-Hu!"

He frowned slightly and asked:

"Why does the name seem to mean something like being possessed by evil spirits?"

Fangyan shook his head and explained:

"No, this is a disease in traditional Chinese medicine. When the disease invades the genitals, it is called "fox", and when it invades the throat, it is called "confusion." This means that when the disease invades the genitals, it is called "fox", and when it invades the throat, it is called "confusion."

"Oh..." Fang Yongxiang nodded, not quite understanding.

Then he asked in dialect:

"So... this disease has been treated since the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Well, in addition to Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are also Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty, Pang Anshi of the Song Dynasty, Yuan Fang of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Kentang of the Ming Dynasty, and even more in the Qing Dynasty, such as the "Golden Mirror of Medical Tradition" co-compiled by Wu Qian, the director of the Imperial Hospital, and the "Zhang's Medical Encyclopedia" by the famous doctor Zhang Lu, and "Shen's Book of Honoring Life" by Shen Jinao..."

"Unlike Western medicine, we already have a relatively mature program for treating fox-induced madness."

The last sentence immediately perked up Fang Yongxiang.

He spoke into the dialect:

"So you mean you can cure my disease?"

The dialect said:

"Of course."

When Fang Yongxiang heard this, he almost jumped for joy.

He has been suffering from this disease for such a long time, and now he finally heard that someone could treat him, which made him feel like he had survived a disaster.

Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, but there is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers!

However, he has been treated for so many years and has seen so many doctors but none of them could cure him.

When Fang Yongxiang suddenly heard Fang Yan say that there was a treatment plan for this disease thousands of years ago, he was still not very confident. He said to Fang Yan:

"You said that there was a cure for this disease thousands of years ago, but why didn't so many doctors find out the cause of my illness?"

Fangyan responded:
"It's simple. Your condition wasn't too serious at the time, especially in the first few years. It was just recurring mouth ulcers and conjunctivitis. The characteristics of 'fox-induced madness' were not obvious, so they couldn't make a diagnosis."

"When you came back this time, the symptoms of your illness were already very obvious, so I was able to conclude that you were suffering from fox-induced madness."

"You have symptoms of oral ulcers. In severe cases, the ulcers will spread to the throat, and your eyes will become red and painful. In addition, you will have headaches, dizziness, memory loss, poor sleep, and poor appetite. At the same time, your scrotum will also be ulcerated. In addition, when you were examined abroad, you were also found to have gastric ulcers, hepatosplenomegaly, and thrombosis."

"If we look at any one symptom alone, we can't diagnose it as fox-induced madness. But if we can't diagnose it when all these symptoms are added together, then that doesn't make sense."

After hearing the dialect analysis, Fang Yongxiang finally understood.

It turned out that what I suffered in previous years was not severe enough and the symptoms were not numerous enough, so it was impossible to diagnose and the disease kept going back and forth.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

Then he thought of another question and said to Fangyan:

"But there are so many diseases now, where should we start to treat them?"

Fang Yan said to him:
"You don't have to worry about this. I will arrange a series of treatments for you and will cure you as soon as possible."

Only then did Fang Yongxiang nod.

Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Fang Yan said to him:
"Go ahead and register for admission now. The medicine will be brought to you in an hour."

"Don't you need me to get the prescription?" Fang Yongxiang asked in surprise. Fang Yan said:

"No, just put your mind at ease and cooperate with the treatment."

Fang Yongxiang did not doubt him and nodded and said:

"Okay! I'll be leaving first then."

"Go ahead." Fang Yan replied.

At this time Fang Yongxiang stood up and gave a look to the assistant beside him.

The latter hurriedly took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Fangyan's table:
"Thank you, Dr. Fang, and Happy New Year!"

Fangyan nodded:
"Well, Happy New Year!"

After speaking in dialect, he watched them leave, and then began to write the prescription, which read:

上川连3g、生白芍9g、生甘草3g、淡吴茱萸1.5g、天花粉12g、川黄柏5g、云茯苓9g、忍冬藤30g、车前草30g……人中白5g。

This prescription is mainly used to clear away heat and dampness, purge fire and detoxify, and it also has the effects of nourishing blood and softening the liver, strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis, and unblocking meridians.

It is suitable for Fang Yongxiang's body to be filled with damp-heat toxins, insufficient yin blood, spleen and stomach dysfunction, which lead to oral ulcers, sore throat, red eyes, scrotal ulcers, gastric ulcers, hepatosplenomegaly and other symptoms.

The reason why I didn't let him watch here was mainly because it was the last medicine, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it after seeing it.

Philtrum is a solid substance that naturally precipitates in the urine of healthy people.

It is usually collected in autumn and winter. After the urine scale in the urine bucket has settled, it is taken out, rinsed clean of impurities and dried.

Rhizoma Coptidis is good at clearing away the heat and evil in the lungs, stomach, liver and other internal organs.

It can be used to treat sore throat and hoarseness caused by lung fire, swollen gums and mouth ulcers caused by excessive stomach fire, etc.

In some prescriptions for treating oral ulcers and pharyngitis, Ren Zhong Bai is often used in combination to enhance the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire.

It is perfect to use it in his prescription.

When using dialect treatment, it does not target all symptoms at once, but rather the main symptoms, clearing away heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying.

It is much more convenient to deal with the rest after cleaning up the main problems first.

After Fang Yan wrote the prescription, he asked Zhang Yanchang, who had returned, to take the medicine to boil.

Zhang Yanchang was also stunned when he saw the last ingredient, Ren Zhongbai.

Generally speaking, as for the white part of the philtrum... Chinese medicine practitioners tend to avoid using it if possible.

"Don't tell the patient what's inside. If he asks, just say it's a secret recipe that can't be disclosed." Fang Yan instructed Zhang Yanchang.

Zhang Yanchang nodded immediately:
"understand!"

If these rich people knew that I drank this stuff, who knows if they would suddenly turn against me.

To avoid any trouble, it’s best not to let them know what you ate.

After Fangyan finished writing the medical records and sorted out the scene, he opened the door and said to the outside:

"Come in next!"

"Here I come!" This time it was a woman in her early twenties, with short hair, big earrings, and very fashionable clothes. As soon as she entered the door, she grabbed Fangyan's hand and said with a smile:
"Hello, Brother Fang. My name is Peng Meng, and I'm Xiaoqin's friend."

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 85000 words.

There's more in the afternoon.
