Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 231 Good Luck (6)
Liu Qiqiao didn't hide her clumsiness, she just said: "Mr. Du, what I said today, if you think it makes sense, then listen to it."

Second Master Du stroked his goatee and said, "Qiqiao, it's okay for you to say it."

Liu Qiqiao glanced at Du Ruo again, and then said: "The empress dowager suffers from diabetes. Although this disease is not terrible, it has serious sequelae. The reason why the empress dowager's legs can't be cured is because of her body's diabetes. The symptoms still exist, so the first step is to adjust her body first, so that her body is at a normal level, only in good health, after the amputation, the queen mother can hope to recover."

Master Du Er said: "Recently, the prescriptions prescribed by the Imperial Hospital are all for leg diseases. Dalang, come up with a prescription for suppressing thirst. Let me have a look."

When Du Ruo heard the words, he bowed his head and began to write, and presented it in a short while: raw astragalus six qian, yam three qian, atractylodes atractylodes three qian, scrophulariaceae six qian,...

Master Du Er looked at it and said: "This prescription is very safe, but now the disease is waiting for no one, the sooner the Empress Dowager amputates the better, lest the longer the time, the more unimaginable the consequences."

Liu Qiqiao thought for a while, took out a stack of paper from her bosom, handed it to Master Du Er and said, "Doctor Du, this is the recipe I have prepared for the princess in the past half a month, and it is all based on the diet of people with diabetes. It is formulated based on specific symptoms, and now the princess is in much better health than before, and she no longer takes traditional Chinese medicine."

Second Master Du's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is that true?" Second Master Du also checked the princess' pulse, but at that time he did not deduce that the princess had diabetes.Because the situation of the princess is basically a common problem among pregnant women of many wealthy families, and gestational diabetes may not necessarily turn into real diabetes, so it is not easy to judge by Chinese medicine.

Liu Qiqiao said: "It's better for Imperial Doctor Du to operate on the Empress Dowager earlier. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid the whole leg will be lost."

There was also a hint of worry on the face of Master Du Er, and he said slowly: "The Empress Dowager is also very kind to our Du family, and now I have to make her lose half of her leg, I really feel ashamed."

Du Ruo wanted to comfort her, but in the end she didn't say anything, but said to Liu Qiqiao: "I asked my second uncle about what you told me last time, and Mrs. Li of the second uncle's family is an expert in this field, and she also has some questions recently. Planning to take in a female apprentice."

Liu Qiqiao remembered the last time I asked Du Ruo about Miss Qian's apprenticeship, and then suddenly realized, and asked: "How did the women and aunts in your family become stable women? It is also your family's ancestors. craft?"

Du Ruo shook his head and said: "Of course not, these are family stable women, because the Du family is a family of imperial physicians, the nobles in the palace are more convinced, and they are always entrusted to find reliable stable women, so gradually, the Du family's stable women That's the most."

Liu Qiqiao nodded in agreement, and then asked: "How many stable women like this do you have in your family now? Do they usually deliver babies?"

Du Ruo frowned and thought about it, but she really didn't know.Master Du Er thought for a while and said: "There are about [-] of them, all of whom are proficient in this technique. On weekdays, the dignitaries in the capital often come to invite them. This visit will take at least one or two months to serve. It started before and continued until the end of confinement."

Liu Qiqiao thought about it, and the Du family's stable woman business is quite large.And it's not just about delivering babies, but also before and after pregnancy, a typical confinement lady who can deliver babies.

"I don't know if these mothers-in-law and aunts have received special training, or have they been passed down from master to disciple?"
