There was a doctor on the other side of the mountain, with a flat nose, who didn't read much, and didn't do anything in the morning, but just smoked a hookah until the copper chimney burned red.He goes to bed after lunch, sleeps until he wakes up with a big yawn, and then starts the outpatient clinic, but the number of people is limited, and he only sees thirty or forty numbers-he has to sit with others for tea at night, and he never delays. No one saw him picking medicine, but he could always take out a kind of black pill, which was said to be collected and brewed in the middle of the night by him, which could cure almost all diseases and was very effective.The pills are big or small, thick or thin, deep or shallow, and only he knows the difference, not even his personal helpers.

Not only medicine, he also has a lot of heresy.For example, a patient with a high fever persisted, and when he saw the doctor coming, he yelled, jumped up and ran out the door.Flat Nose chased after him and knocked the patient to the ground with one punch, and then dragged him into the pond. No matter how the other party screamed, no matter how the patient's relatives begged, he grabbed the patient's hair and pushed his head into the water again and again.It was not until there was no more movement that the almost half-dead patient was dragged ashore.People followed his instructions, wrapped the patient in several layers of cocoon cotton, and carried him to the bed to sweat.In less than an hour, the patient really began to sweat, the high fever gradually subsided, and his sanity recovered, all relatives were overjoyed.

A child accidentally swallowed an iron nail into his belly, causing parents to turn around in a hurry.I went to ask about it, asked the parents of the child to cook a pot of porridge, and went to the charcoal kiln in a hurry, peeled a few pieces of new charcoal skin, ground it into powder, mixed it into hot porridge, and asked the child to eat three bowls in a row.After half an hour, the child went to the toilet to defecate, and the iron nails wrapped in charcoal dust came out of his body. What's even more strange is that a horse in a certain family had a broken right leg, and everyone in the village was waiting to eat the horse meat.Snub Nose walked up to the butcher and said no with a raised hand.He took a closer look at the leg injury, and asked the horse owner to find a copper coin, burn it red in the fire, then quench it with vinegar, and repeat this three times, grind the copper coin into powder with the back of a knife, pour it into the horse's mouth with the grain wine.Five or six days later, the horse's legs miraculously recovered.What's even more strange is that when the horse died a few years later, the horse butcher cut open the flesh and found a copper ring around the broken bone.

It is not known whether these claims are true. The flat nose has high medical skills, and the temper becomes violent, and the words are not serious.One day, he felt the pulse of a patient and said angrily, "What are you doing memorizing a dead person?" Angrily went to the county hospital.Unexpectedly, seven days later, the patient really died.Another day, two women came to seek medical treatment, and they brought unusually many eggs. In order to avoid giving gifts that were too thick, the one who brought extra eggs took a few out of the basket, hid them in the grass by the roadside, and planned to turn around. Pick it up later.They didn't expect that after the flat nose prescribed the medicine, they said: "Go back quickly, the eggs in the grass will be taken away by the plowman." Of course, the two women were shocked: this flat nose must have a telescope ?Did you see their hands and feet on the side of the road just now?
