Merchant and doctor

Chapter 7 Fighting poison with poison
During his university studies, a Western medical proverb left a deep impression on Bian Mu's mind: "Occasionally heals, often helps, and always comforts."

The interpretation of this famous medical proverb is naturally varied due to the background of the times, personal knowledge, medical practice... and various differences.

In Bian Mu's view, when facing patients with difficult and miscellaneous diseases, especially those who are critically ill, as a doctor, whether they can be completely cured is secondary. First of all, they should find ways to relieve the huge mental pressure on their hearts.

In a sense, as long as this is done, the patient's condition will be reduced by half.

Just now that girl knelt down to express her thanks is enough to prove how much mental pressure the patient's family of three has endured, and Bian Mu's efforts have obviously paid off.

The wound on the patient's foot was inflamed, and the wound could not last long, and the pus and blood overflowed slowly. It would take some time for the girl to buy the medicine. Bian Mu used two hemostatic forceps to make a thicker medicine pad with sterile gauze. With the help of his wife, he placed the patient's right foot pad on the wheelchair bracket and placed it properly.

"Come on! I have to feel the pulse." After finishing speaking, Bian Mu signaled the patient's wife to push the wheelchair to the table.

First the left hand and then the right hand, lightly press the inch and close the ruler, slowly and slowly, Bian Mu's heart is more confident.

"It's floating like a void, Yang Qi is scattered and difficult to gather, and the veins! The left pulse is empty and the right pulse is solid and calm. It seems that the patient's daily diet should contain special ingredients. What a blessing! Invisibly, he is also considered I saved my own life." Thinking of this, Bian Mu took a medical notebook from the side, and recorded the patient's peculiar pulse condition one by one while taking the pulse.

Compared with his peers, Bian Mu's pulse time has always been longer. Through the pulse condition, Bian Mu can perceive many little-known special information.

For example, the patient in front of me has practiced martial arts for a long time before the age of 20, and there should be no interruption in the middle. As far as the basic skill of pulse signaling is concerned, no matter how smart Kuang Yiheng and others are, they may not be able to do it in this life. Can't make it this far.

"Auntie! You usually eat three meals a day, can your family eat some unusual ingredients, such as wild vegetables, mountain mushrooms, wild yellow food?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Does this... mountain radish count?"

"You mean 'Pokeweed'?" While talking, Bian Mu picked up his mobile phone, pulled out some pictures from the database, and showed them to the patient's wife.

"Yes! This is the thing. The red root is poisonous and cannot be eaten. We usually use chervil to stew soup and eat radish seedlings as vegetables. Why? Is this something that can't be eaten often?" the patient's wife asked suspiciously.

"On the contrary, thanks to the fact that you usually treat it as a regular dish, otherwise, uncle might really have to amputate!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, the patient and his wife couldn't help showing joy, their eyes full of yearning for a new life, that kind of eager anticipation immediately moved Bian Mu, and a long-lost sense of accomplishment emerged spontaneously.

Bian Mu is very proud.

At this time, the girl came back from buying medicines, and the Chinese medicine prescription only listed three kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, blood jellyfish, leaf elephant flower, and comfrey, and the total was only 31.75 yuan including the processing fee.

"Yeah! Ye Xianghua is quite fresh, not bad, not bad! Let's give the uncle some medicine first. Since it has been delayed for a long time, in order to take effect quickly, I have to open up the wound and drain the fresh blood out. In this way, the dry blood powder can be easily fused with it, and it may be very painful. Given your current physical condition, it is not suitable for anesthesia, so you have to bear with it!" After finishing speaking, Bian Mu opened another disinfection bag and put it on his hand A pair of sterile surgical gloves ready to apply medication.

Bian Mu's technique was very skillful, and he finished treating the wound in a short while.

The patient, Mr. Ge, had a normal expression and did not feel much pain.

"I don't usually have many patients here, you two might as well just sit there and rest for a while, the effect of the medicine will take a while!" After calling the mother and daughter to sit down, Bian Mu began to dispense the medicine.

According to the doctor's instructions, the pharmacy has already ground the leaf elephant flower into a slurry and put it in a small plastic medicine bottle, and the comfrey has also been ground into powder, wrapped into a small medicine bag and placed beside it.

Bian Mu called the girl and explained a few words while dispensing the medicine.

"This medicine is called 'Yexianghua'. It is poisonous. Do not take it orally. It must be used externally according to the doctor's advice. Comfrey powder can eliminate most of the toxicity of 'Yexianghua'. For your father's condition, the ratio of the two can be controlled at 1:3." , the comfrey powder is 1, and the leaf elephant flower is 3. It doesn’t need to be too precise. It’s almost enough. I’ll prepare the medicine for you later. Your father dispensed and changed the medicine."

"Let's go to the hospital to change the medicine! My father's condition is critical, I don't dare to do it, I can't afford it if I mess it up!" The girl quickly responded.

"Alright! Anyway, I usually don't have any patients here. I'm on full-time shift from Monday to Friday. You can come and change your medicine anytime during working hours." While talking, Bian Mu had already prepared the antidote.

It will take some time for the dry blood powder to dry, anyway, no other patients were registered for consultation in the consultation room, so Bian Mu accompanied Mr. Ge's family of three to talk about the precautions for future treatment in detail.

"Mr. Ge practiced traditional martial arts when he was young?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"It's just a villager's style, so there's no way to talk about martial arts." The patient, Mr. Ge, responded modestly.

"The reason why I ask this is of course my reason, uncle! Try your luck, and punch me a few times in the palm of my hand later, let's try our skills." As he spoke, Bian Mu got up and walked to the wheelchair. With the palm facing outward, stand under the right rib.

"This... is it really a fight?" Mr. Ge asked in puzzlement.

"Really! Don't worry, you have not recovered from serious injuries, your vitality has been damaged, and you are still sitting in a wheelchair. I am so young, no matter how skillful you are, you can't hurt me." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Then... I'll try." As he spoke, he saw Mr. Ge's eyes frowning slightly, his eyes focused, his breath adjusted and calm, and he was about to try a few punches.

In an instant, Mr. Ge's melancholy demeanor that he usually showed in front of people disappeared without a trace, and the mother and daughter accompanying him were amazed by his calm demeanor.

Bian Mu has practiced for a few years to play a small and serious game. With palms and airs, he has both offensive and defensive skills. An insider can guess at a glance.

Mr. Ge is obviously also an expert. Seeing the posture Bian Mu put on, he knew that this young and handsome male doctor in front of him was by no means an idler. So, taking a deep breath and submerging energy, Mr. Ge punched Bian Mu's right palm.

"Boom..." was heard, and Bian Mu swayed slightly sideways twice, dispelling all the force of the punch without a trace.

After this confrontation, Mr. Ge confirmed that Doctor Bian was also a Lianjiazi.

"Mr. Ge! Your foot injury is deeply rooted, and it has not healed for a long time. Although you don't need amputation, it is not so easy to cure it, and it is even more difficult to fully recover. Thanks to your kung fu, you can use the energy in your body to let it go. In the future, it will be twice the result with half the effort." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Really? Doctor Bian is brilliant, I have chosen my life in vain! Our family will never forget your great kindness!" Mr. Ge seemed a little excited while speaking.

"Severe words! After the wound is covered with 'Leaf Elephant Flower', we are taking the path of fighting poison with poison. You may have a concomitant high fever. When you are recuperating at home, as long as you feel uncomfortable, sit or stand and concentrate Gather Qi, just like before, raise the Qi in the Dantian, and slowly release the energy in the whole body with fists until the fever subsides. Of course, at that time, it is best for your family to accompany you. In case something happens, Just call 120 at the first time and come to our hospital for a follow-up consultation. Don’t worry, the probability of this happening is extremely low.”

Hearing this, Mr. Ge's family of three felt completely relieved.
