I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 389 - 163: This Illness Is "Jue": Dangerous in Appearance, Yet Still Curable
After listening.
Zhang Jingcai gave Lu Xuan a thumbs up.
He had to admit it.
"Old Zhang, I’m convinced from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Jingcai praised, "When you mentioned that the Cinnamon, Ginger, and Sand Soup might not have much effect on Ms. Zhang, I was a bit unconvinced. I thought, Lu, apart from modifying the Cinnamon, Ginger, and Sand Soup, could you really come up with a different prescription?
But after you mentioned the Suidou Pill, I had no choice but to be convinced. Your prescription, once taken, might show its effects in a short time."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and turned to Zhang Qixia, "If Ms. Zhang is not in a hurry to go back, you can take the medicine here and see how it works."
"No rush, no rush."
Seeing that even Dr. Zhang was completely convinced by Lu Xuan’s prescription, Zhang Qixia had no opinions. As for trying the medicine here to see its effects, she was more than willing. If it really worked in a short time, she could take the medicine back and use it with confidence.
Naturally, she agreed repeatedly.
"No rush is good."
"I’ll write down the method for handling the medicine, you can show it to the staff who dispenses the medicine downstairs..."
At this point, Lu Xuan paused and said, "Never mind, I’ll go to the pharmacy myself."
"Lu, it would be better if you handle the making of the Suidou Pill yourself; the pharmacy is crowded and noisy, which might be problematic if it gets out,"
Zhang Jingcai said, "Moreover, they’ve never made the Suidou Pill, and if they don’t do it right, it could affect the efficacy of the medicine, and if it doesn’t work, it might make you doubt your own prescription."
"Mm."
Lu Xuan had Gu Huahua register the prescription in the system and then took Zhang Qixia to the first-floor payment window.
After Zhang Qixia finished paying, Lu Xuan took the receipt to the medicine dispensing window, said something to the staff there, and then entered the pharmacy.
The pharmacy at the United South Chinese Medicine Association was much larger than the one at the Health Center, and most importantly, all the pharmaceutical tools needed were available.
At the Health Center, they could grind the herbs into powder, but they didn’t have the tools to make pills. For patients like Zhang Qixia, they would have to find an outside place to make the pills.
But if the medicine was taken outside to be made into pills, it was uncertain whether they would strictly follow the prescribed method, and whether the pills would be effective. The biggest concern was the potential for the prescription to be leaked.
The Suidou Pill wasn’t widely used, but if someone with ulterior motives registered it as a patent, it would be a big loss for Lu Xuan.
"Dr. Lu, what brings you to the pharmacy?"
As Lu Xuan entered the pharmacy, everyone busy in there greeted him.
Even though Lu Xuan just came to the United South Chinese Medicine Association last week and hadn’t been to the pharmacy before, who at the association hadn’t heard about the young and skilled TCM doctor who was not only good-looking but had superb medical skills? Even Elder Huang and Elder Zhang admitted he was better, so everyone couldn’t help but know about him.
The past two weeks, everyone talked most about Lu Xuan.
"I prescribed a medicine for Old Zhang’s patient that needs to be made into pills. I have some free time, so I thought I might as well try making it myself. Back at the Health Center, we didn’t have the tools for pill making. This is such a good opportunity, how could I let it pass?" Lu Xuan explained with a smile.
"Did you mean Elder Zhang, Zhang Jingcai?"
"Yes." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Old Zhang?
Everyone secretly clicked their tongues; this nickname was probably something only Lu Xuan dared to use.
Seeing everyone’s odd expressions, Lu Xuan knew what they were thinking, so he explained, "Don’t look at me like that. I was forced; he insisted I call him Old Zhang, otherwise, he said it meant I didn’t respect him. Do you think I could refuse?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
This was typical of Elder Zhang’s personality.
He didn’t care about the formalities; he cared only about skill, not age.
"Was Dr. Lu consulted by Zhang for another meeting?" Last week, Zhang Jingcai brought Lu Xuan for a consultation with a cancer patient, and not long after, the news spread throughout the United South Chinese Medicine Association. Everyone was talking enthusiastically in the group, and even Zhang Jingcai admitted it, leaving everyone in shock.
When Lu Xuan first came, everyone saw how young he was and thought he got in through connections. Although it was unlikely at United South Chinese Medicine Association, Lu Xuan was so young that people couldn’t help but wonder.
But after hearing about the cancer patient consultation, everyone realized that Lu Xuan truly had skills.
His TCM internal medicine amazed Elder Zhang and others, and even his acupuncture skills made Elder Zhou self-conscious. With such skills, being invited by the United South Chinese Medicine Association seemed normal.
So, when everyone heard Lu Xuan talk, they figured Zhang Jingcai might have asked Lu to consult on another patient.
"It was a patient with ascites. It’s not a big ailment; Old Zhang could handle it himself. He just didn’t want me to have nothing to do." Lu Xuan said as he approached the pill-making machine.
"I don’t believe it. If it were a minor issue, Elder Zhang wouldn’t call for a consultation unless he was unsure himself. Ascites doesn’t sound like a simple issue; perhaps it’s some kind of difficult or complex condition."
"I just saw the patient, and the upper body was severely swollen. I feel uncomfortable just looking at her," said a female staff member who had just delivered medicine, sighing deeply.
"That serious?"
"No wonder Elder Zhang called Dr. Lu for a consultation."
