Chapter 98 this doctor is special

This summer, the weather is especially hot. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is even more unbearably hot. Sometimes walking for a while in the sun seems to be fainted by the heat. There was a man named Mao Luhe, whose son Mao Jietang fell ill because he felt the heat. This kind of disease is classified as febrile disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Sweating profusely, but the pulse is weak, and the extremities are cold (the pulse is weak and the extremities are cold). At this time, Xu Lingtai was invited. Xu Lingtai came to take a look. The doctor in front judged that it was a heat syndrome, and they were still using heat-clearing medicines.

That's right, on such a hot day, of course there are too many fevers. After Xu Lingtai's diagnosis, he told the patient's father, Mao Luhe: "It is indeed a summer illness, but your son's yang energy is about to disappear, and you should quickly use warming medicines such as ginseng and aconite to restore the yang energy and save the adversity!" (This scene looks familiar, it also appeared during Li Dongyuan's diagnosis) After hearing this, Mao Luhe looked distressed, and murmured in a low voice: "The doctor said it was a febrile disease, so we should use medicine to clear away heat."

It can be seen that the concept of febrile disease has already gained a certain status among the common people at this time. Xu Lingtai was in a hurry: "It's a febrile disease, yes, but febrile disease can also change. If the condition changes, the medicine should also change accordingly." Mao Luhe still felt something was wrong: "Look at this patient, he is still hot and sweating!" Xu Lingtai was really in a hurry, because his condition was changing, he stepped forward, grabbed Mao Luhe's clothes, stared and said: "We are friends, so I can't just sit idly by (it's a good friend, so I'm sorry) I can’t bear to sit and watch), if I’m not sure, how dare I use such a seriously ill person as an experiment (is there any reason to try without confidence)?”

Mao Luhe was petrified, and looked at Xu Lingtai who had become a stranger. Xu Lingtai continued: "If you don't believe me, then if the patient dies after taking my medicine, I would rather die with my body!" This is not because Xu Lingtai is easy to bet, but because the condition is too urgent, it will be too late!Therefore, Xu Lingtai disregarded her personal interests! It was hard to talk about it, so I persuaded the patient's family to agree and gave the patient the medicine. As a result, as soon as the medicine was applied, the patient's sweating stopped and his limbs became warmer.

Then Xu Lingtai changed the prescription again, and after ten days, the patient recovered. Xu Lingtai recorded the basis of his diagnosis in the medical records: "Gou Fei's pulse is slightly cold and his feet are cold, and his tongue is moist with sweat, so it is still a heat syndrome." , it is best to remember". Friends who study Chinese medicine can experience it in detail. Wang Mengying of the later generations liked Xu Lingtai very much, and couldn't put it down for Xu's medical cases. On the one hand, it was because of their knowledge, and on the other hand, they were all doctors with an old-fashioned heart. The situation is willing to die to treat things.

This is an inspiring doctor. This is a doctor who has attained the highest level. With the highest level, they have acquired the highest medical skills. With the highest medical skills, they can do such a most affectionate thing. What they do is trivial, that is, to see patients, nothing special. However, there is something about them that makes people feel moved. This realm is also reflected in his attitude towards money. On this day, someone from Suzhou City invited Xu Lingtai again. Xu Lingtai followed the visitor and started on the road. The patient's home was relatively easy to find. It was next to the Suzhou Yamen at that time, and his surname was Yang.

What's the matter? It turns out that the son of the Yang family is a rambunctious young man in his thirties, and he is not doing his job properly. He spends his days in that fireworks and willow alley. No, he stole one thousand taels of silver from his father a few days ago and went to a brothel It was all spent (using the father's daughter for adultery), and the matter was exposed somehow. This Mr. Yang was angry, and this son who was not up to date was beaten. Coupled with such a beating, Yu Huo had nowhere to vent and fell ill. What kind of symptoms is the disease?At first it was a bit flu-like, then my spirits were low and my body felt heavy.

First, I invited a doctor. The gentleman saw that this was a syndrome of great deficiency, so he used the medicine of great tonic. In the prescription, there was three qian of ginseng every day. As a result, the disease not only did not get better, but also made the body hard like a dead body (as strong as a dead body). This is bad, everyone in the Yang family thought that Mr. Yang was going to die, so they were very sad. Mrs. Yang even scolded Mr. Yang, didn't my son spend some money on you for whoring?As for making it like this? Mr. Yang had no choice but to invite Xu Lingtai, thinking to himself, treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

When Xu Lingtai arrived at Yang's house, she was taken aback as soon as she entered the inner room: the whole family was crying bitterly around the window, as if saying goodbye to the dead body. Xu Lingtai had to persuade: Don't do this, I haven't checked the pulse yet, everyone endure the grief first, and wait until I finish the pulse. So everyone stepped aside, and Xu Lingtai took a pulse. Then I pressed the patient's body and found that there were many sputum nuclei all over his body, in the skin and outside the muscles, there were thousands of them (thousands in size).

After the diagnosis, Xu Lingtai laughed. At that time, everyone in the Yang family was dizzy, and some quick-witted ones had already picked up bricks to flatten Xu Ling's fetus. Xu Lingtai turned his face to everyone, and asked, "You are all crying that he is going to die, right now you can go to the nearby yamen and borrow the execution board, and beat him forty boards, and he will also won't die." Mrs. Yang was so angry that her brain short-circuited. Mr. Yang suppressed his disbelief and said, "My son, now he has 1,000 taels of silver for eating ginseng. If he can recover, I am willing to pay another 1,000 taels of silver." Silver as your reward!"

Xu Lingtai stopped smiling, and said lightly: "This kind of promise can impress others, but it is useless to me. I just do my best." ) Mr. Yang saw that this person spoke unusually. It seemed that he really had something in his heart. So calm down: Sir, please prescribe? Xu Lingtai prescribed some extremely bland prescriptions for clearing the fire and calming the nerves, and then took it with a mysterious powder medicine. Everyone is stupid, can such a simple recipe work? Don't talk about it, maybe it's okay, haven't you seen that kind of mysterious powder recipe? Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Xu Lingtai left. After three days, the patient can speak. After five days, the patient can sit up. After one month, the patient is behaving as usual. It's amazing!The elders of the Yang family were overjoyed, just in time for the peony blooming season, and the peony blooms of the Yang family were exceptionally good, so the relatives of the Yang family organized a flower viewing banquet and invited Xu Lingtai. At the banquet, Comrade Xu Lingtai solemnly raised the issue of consultation fees. He said to Mr. Yang: "You took one thousand taels of silver to buy ginseng, which made you seriously ill, but you recovered after taking my powder medicine. Can you not give me the cost of my medicine?" Mr. Yang's uncle hurriedly said: "Of course I will, you can just say a price!" Xu Lingtai smiled and said: "The value of the medicine that makes the disease worse is worth a thousand gold. Of course, the price of my medicine to cure the disease will be doubled." Mr. Yang was so frightened that he almost flipped over on his chair—the prostitute spent a thousand gold, the ginseng used a thousand gold, and here comes another two thousand gold!I am dead! (Patient looks panicked) Seeing the flustered look of the Yang family, Xu Lingtai comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm just playing with you, and it's only eight cents." Everyone was dumbfounded again: "Ah, why is the secret recipe so cheap?" Xu Lingtai: "Ah, radish seeds (the traditional Chinese medicine is called radish seed), there are still some leftovers, you can take a look." So he took out some leftover radish seeds from his pocket, and everyone snatched them one after another to see that they were indeed radish seeds. Everyone laughed out loud (Mr. Yang's laughter must be from the heart, because the reduction from two thousand gold to eight coins). It turned out that the phlegm nucleus on Mr. Yang's body was caused by phlegm evil after taking ginseng by mistake. thing) was condensed by mending, after taking radish for half a year, the phlegm nucleus in the whole body disappeared. (Note: Stir-fried radish seeds have downward medicinal properties, which can eliminate food and swelling, reduce qi and reduce phlegm, and raw products have upward medicinal properties, which can spew wind and phlegm. Zhu Danxi said that radish seeds can cure phlegm, and they have "the power of breaking the wall", which means It is powerful.) His temperament is so genuine, he treats the things that can be a rare commodity, but treats them indifferently, and even teases those wealthy but still stingy rich and noble families quite interestingly, which is really cool.
