143: The older you are in the world, the less courageous you are!
Chapter 143: The Older the Practitioner, the More Cautious!
"There aren't that many rules; the brewing method is the same as for regular Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
Lin Yi realized that when it came to brewing Traditional Chinese Medicine, only Teacher Lu Chenxi could be relied upon.
Expecting Fang Xiaoran to do it would be like waiting for the sun to rise in the west... "Teacher Lu, you need to pay a little attention."
"After brewing twice, the final product, two bowls, must be reduced to one bowl before Director Ning can take it."
"This way, the medicinal effect can be maximized."
Lin Yi specifically emphasized the difference in the method of administration.
Because the patient's cancer cells must be controlled and eradicated within an extremely short period, the method of administration naturally had to be more potent than regular Traditional Chinese Medicine...
Only when he felt there were no omissions did Lin Yi leave the Emergency Department.
Today was the first day he and his sister moved into their new home, and even if it was a rented house, they had to celebrate properly.
From the surveillance video in the new home, Lin Yi could see that his sister had prepared a lot of delicious food for today's housewarming.
If he delayed any longer, the food would get cold... "Doctor Lin, do you need my help?"
Seeing Lin Yi pack up his things and about to leave, Fang Xiaoran inexplicably asked again.
After all, it was Lin Yi's first day moving into his new home, and there must be many places where he needed help.
Plus, Fang Xiaoran was also very curious about what her own house had become...
"It's fine, no need for help!"
"Your priority is to make sure the Traditional Chinese Medicine is properly brewed and delivered to the patient!"
Lin Yi quickly rejected Fang Xiaoran's kind offer.
This was a family celebration; what business did Fang Xiaoran have getting involved?
If he really brought this young and beautiful doctor home, his sister would definitely start overthinking things again.
Lin Qian wouldn't believe it was just normal help between colleagues!
..."Teacher, Old You..."
"Please take a look at this prescription; I always feel like something isn't quite right!"
It wasn't until You Changming had finished seeing his last outpatient that Ma Lin anxiously entered the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department's consultation room.
He hurriedly handed the prescription in his hand to his teacher, You Changming...
Although he could vaguely sense that this prescription was definitely something beyond his imagination.
As for exactly what made it good, or if it could truly cure the patient's pancreatic cancer, he couldn't really be sure.
But Ma Lin believed that his teacher would definitely be able to give the most accurate judgment.
As one of the few National Medical Masters in Long Province, You Changming's attainments in Traditional Chinese Medicine were absolutely beyond everyone's comprehension.
Even in the alleviation and cure of cancer, Old You had an in-depth research that ordinary doctors could not imagine.
It was just that due to the special nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which cannot be directly expressed with data, his teacher's research had not received the academic attention it deserved...
"Wang Bu Liu Xing Zi 12g, vinegar rhubarb, ... prepared Xiang Fu, Foshou slices 6g each, Sanqi ginseng... Peng E Shu 3g each, Qing Pi, Chen Pi... Guang Mu Xiang 4.5g each."
You Changming adjusted his reading glasses and carefully read the prescription his student had brought over, softly reciting the herbs and dosages listed on the prescription as he read.
No prescription pad was used; it was clearly a page torn from an ordinary notebook. When You Changming saw this prescription, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
You Changming couldn't be clearer about the situation with this student.
Always fantasizing about revitalizing the Traditional Chinese Medicine cause by himself, how could that be possible!
When You Changming was young, he also had such dreams and aspirations, but as he grew older, and after being mercilessly beaten by reality again and again, he had long extinguished that flame.
Compared to the quick and direct effects of Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine has always been misunderstood and misinterpreted by the world.
Only those who are a bit older and have completely lost confidence in Western Medicine's methods can truly believe in the mystique of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This is also why the patients visiting the Central Hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department tend to be older...
But You Changming, who had seen patients all his life and was already in his sixties, didn't care about external things like fame or profit at all.
Even after retirement, he accepted the Hospital's re-employment, working hard in the outpatient clinic to treat patients, purely out of love for this profession.
Promoting Traditional Chinese Medicine and expanding its social recognition was a hope he had long given up on...
"There's a big problem with this prescription!"
"So many mutually antagonistic herbs put together, if the dosage is even slightly off, it will cause irreversible damage to the patient's body, especially the Pancreas!"
"Which colleague wrote this prescription, and why would these medicines be used in combination?"
You Changming's pure white eyebrows were completely furrowed, and he muttered to himself.
As the saying goes, the older the practitioner, the more cautious...
At first glance at this prescription, his heart truly skipped a beat. He hadn't heard of any Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor in Long Province using such potent dosages.
But after reading all the herbs and dosages listed on the entire prescription, his doubts grew even stronger.
Not only was the prescription extremely unfamiliar, but even the dosages of the various herbs on it were unbelievably bold...
"This prescription doesn't seem to exist in any known classical texts."
"Could this be a new prescription recently created by an Old Expert?"
Realizing this, You Changming's relaxed facial muscles trembled with excitement.
In the eyes of ordinary people who don't understand Traditional Chinese Medicine, and even ordinary doctors,
They always think that the prescriptions used by Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors are unique prescriptions specially prescribed by Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors based on the patient's specific symptoms, treating the symptoms with the right medicine.
In fact, this is just a misunderstanding that ordinary people have about Traditional Chinese Medicine because they don't understand it...
For an Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor like You Changming, who has seen patients all his life and whose family has been Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors for three generations,
There aren't that many original Traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions; current Traditional Chinese Medicine is merely repeating the greatness of ancestors.
Counting them up, almost all the prescriptions used are inseparable from those well-known Traditional Chinese Medicine classics.
The so-called famous Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors have merely carried forward these recorded classic prescriptions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors who can create their own prescriptions outside of these existing ones are extremely rare in China.
Even You Changming himself, hailed as a National Medical Master, couldn't achieve this.
But the prescription before him gave You Changming a huge surprise.
Recalling countless classic prescriptions in his mind, he really couldn't compare any of them to the prescription in front of him...
"Do you know who wrote this prescription?"
"Is the person who came to get the medicine still at the Hospital?"
"You're so muddled! Why didn't you inform me immediately, child?"
You Changming beat his chest and stomped his feet, acting even more excited than a child.
"Teacher, don't worry, the doctor who wrote this prescription is in our Hospital's Emergency Department."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go meet this Old Gentleman quickly!"
You Changming didn't say another word, stood up, and took small, quick steps out of the consultation room...
