This Doctor Is Too Wealthy-Chapter 589 - 495 About the child’s surname
Du Heng’s instructions were carefully noted down by the woman.
The woman asked particularly detailed questions about the cold-natured items Du Heng mentioned. Because there were so many foods and medicinal ingredients mentioned, she even took out her mobile phone and recorded everything in its notes app, not missing a single name.
After noting everything down, she looked at some familiar foods on the list with a troubled expression, "Doctor Du, many of the things you just mentioned are my favorite foods, especially iced drinks. I drink them almost every day in summer."
Du Heng smiled. "The human body is fascinating. It can develop various issues due to a small oversight, but it can also gradually heal itself through daily life. Judging from your condition and outward appearance, your job is likely relatively relaxed, your life quite comfortable, and you probably also exercise. Logically speaking, after so many years, even if your blood heat problem didn’t self-adjust and heal, it shouldn’t have progressed to this extent. So, the problem must lie in your lifestyle. Therefore, during this period of taking medication, you must avoid all cold-natured things."
After everything in the consultation room was explained, the woman thanked him several times and left with the payment receipt to pay and get her medicine.
Her mother had been waiting anxiously outside. The moment her daughter opened the door, she hurried over, took her daughter’s hand, and nervously asked about the outcome.
The woman looked relaxed. She showed the payment receipt to her mother and then recounted Doctor Du’s words, slightly modified.
Mother and daughter continued their questions and answers as they slowly disappeared around the corner of the stairwell.
After finishing his work, Du Heng didn’t linger in the consultation room but went straight to Feng Su’s single room.
Recalling the experiences with Zhu Minyan and Liu Amei, Du Heng knew that patients had the strongest reactions when taking the first dose of medicine. Therefore, he wasn’t comfortable leaving Feng Su in the female doctor’s care just yet. He had to see Feng Su safely through this stage before he could truly be at ease. By his estimation, Feng Su’s medicine should have been decocted by now. If the female doctor was a bit faster and didn’t dawdle, Feng Su might have even drunk it already. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Everything went just as Du Heng had calculated. When he arrived at Feng Su’s hospital room, she had already drunk all the medicine.
At that moment, she had a distressed expression, her face tightly scrunched up as she vigorously rinsed her mouth with a bottle of mineral water.
Feng Su felt the potent taste of the medicine. Part of it entered her stomach via her oral cavity, while another part rushed straight to her head through her nasal cavity. Then, as the taste of the medicine churned in her stomach, it surged back up her throat to her mouth, and then rushed to her head again. Bitter, sour, astringent.
The potent taste of the medicine triggered a physiological reaction in Feng Su. Her stomach contracted, and it felt as if residual medicinal liquid was still in her throat, causing a constant gurgling sensation and making her feel slightly dizzy.
Seeing Feng Su about to spit out the mouthwash, the shorter assistant hurriedly stopped her. "Miss Feng, I heard that after taking Chinese herbal medicine, you shouldn’t spit out the rinsing water. Otherwise, you’ll spit out the medicine’s potency, and it’ll be like you drank it for nothing."
Feng Su froze. Spitting it out felt disgusting, but she was afraid that doing so would render the medicine ineffective.
At this, the female doctor chuckled and said, "That’s not how it works. Spit it out if you want to. Traditional Chinese medicine treats illness by ingesting medicine, not through superstition. If the medicine in your stomach loses its efficacy just because you spit out some mouthwash, then how could people even breathe?"
Feng Su thought that made sense, so she quickly spat out the mouthwash she had almost swallowed and shot a fierce glare at the shorter assistant for giving such a terrible idea.
Afterward, the people in the hospital room began to chat. The main topic Du Heng and Feng Su could discuss was Li Qin.
As the female doctor listened to their conversation, her eyes widened again in surprise; she hadn’t expected Du Heng to know Li Qin as well.
Although Du Heng was chatting, most of his attention remained on Feng Su’s reactions, and he would ask her how she was feeling from time to time.
Initially, Feng Su’s reactions were manageable, but as time went on, her condition deteriorated.
From initial dizziness to palpitations, then gradually starting to experience more palpitations and uncontrollable retching.
「Half an hour later」, she started to develop a fever, her abdominal pain intensified, and she kept tossing and turning on the sick bed.
The taller and shorter assistants were frightened, their eyes darting constantly between Du Heng and Feng Su.
For an instant, they felt that Feng Su hadn’t taken life-saving medicine, but poison. She had only looked a bit haggard before drinking the medicine; now, after drinking it, she appeared almost lifeless. If they weren’t in a hospital, the two of them would have really called the police.
However, all of Feng Su’s reactions were within Du Heng’s expectations. Moreover, because her illness had been discovered early and the medication used was relatively light, her reactions were much milder than those of Zhu Minyan and Liu Amei. At the very least, she hadn’t fainted outright, and the intensity of her ’adverse reaction’ was only what could be considered normal compared to the other two.
「Forty minutes later」, Feng Su felt the urge to use the restroom and was helped there by the taller and shorter assistants.
For the first time, Du Heng felt a little nervous. If it was like her usual menstruation, then there wouldn’t be any major problems; subsequent control of the medication would suffice. But if a hemorrhage occurred, that would be truly troublesome.
