Chapter 38 First Aid Treatment for Uncle Daan
The old doctor had superb medical skills, not to mention his medical ethics. After working attentively for an hour, the master and the apprentice worked together to completely bandage Cheng Su's injuries.
Under the bright candlelight, the old doctor tiredly raised his bloody hand and waved towards Li Yaoguang.
After leaving his uncle who had fallen asleep in the room to his aunt, Li Yaoguang followed the doctor out of the door with a curtain of grass. With the hot water brought by Lu Liu, the doctor washed his hands. Li Yaoguang took the opportunity to let Lu Liu bring his cousin to beg for help. The doctor also gave a diagnosis and treatment. After the doctor confirmed that the little guy was just frightened and gave him two more injections and it was nothing serious, Li Yaoguang was completely relieved.
After Lu Liu left with Yang'er in his arms, the old doctor sat down at the table and took a sip of the tea served by Li Yaoguang, and spoke slowly before prescribing.
"Everything else about the child's injuries is easy to say. Most of them have skin injuries, not serious. It's winter now. I rubbed away the bruises with medicinal oil and bandaged them with gold sore medicine. With proper care, it's okay. But... …”
"Only what, doctor, you just say it doesn't matter."
"Only the injured person's left leg has a fractured bone and two broken toes. The old man has already taken care of it, but the injury needs to be taken care of, and he must not be moved without permission to prevent dislocation. The other is the child. Golden sore medicine can be used for everything, plasters and ointments. They are all ready-made, but the current injury requires a prescription to boil the herbs. The patient must take them while they are hot and in dosage. Do you have the space to boil them?"
Seeing the old man looking at him with some embarrassment, Li Yaoguang immediately understood that the old man still remembered what he said when he went to buy medicine.
Li Yaoguang burst into tears with gratitude and bowed his hands, "Thank you doctor for your thoughtfulness. Since my uncle must use it, we can overcome it no matter how difficult it is. Please give me a prescription."
"Okay, then I'll give you a prescription. As for the medicinal materials, should I use ordinary ones, or not?"
It's not surprising that he was worried about this. In fact, although he was entering the Hou Mansion, the doctor looked like the master of the Hou Mansion, but when he saw this person, he had no elders to care about him, and he didn't even have a servant. In the desolate courtyard, thinking about the child's appearance during the consultation, he couldn't make up his mind again.
Li Yaoguang understood the doctor's good intentions instantly, and now his monthly salary alone is only thirty taels, not to mention that the massive rewards are all his own!
Moreover, my expenses were small, and my food and drink were all covered. In addition to giving some financial subsidies to my aunt on weekdays, and buying some clothes, shoes, and socks for daily needs, I had no place to spend money, so I agreed generously.
"Excuse me, doctor, we use good medicine, you just need to prescribe it."
"Then I will make the decision. My child, you will come with me to get the medicine later. You will take it when you come back. You must drink a dose tonight."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, doctor."
While the old doctor was prescribing the prescription, Li Yaoguang opened the curtain again and went into the inner room. He gave instructions to his aunt, and then asked Fangcao to be on hand at any time. When he came out again, the old doctor's prescription had been prepared.
She brought a prescription, brought to the doctor for treatment, a set of medicines used in the treatment just now, and medicines to be taken back soon. The doctor charged her a total of sixty taels, mainly for the effectiveness of the medicines in the prescription. Expensive, but the others are not expensive. After all, they came to see me in the middle of the night. When I treated my uncle's broken leg earlier, the plaster was her exclusive secret recipe. Looking at the prescription in my hand now, it's worth the price.
Although sixty taels can live on for a long time for her, it is really a lot, but Li Yaoguang is not stingy despite her physical pain.
It was okay to have no silver notes with her. The daily and monthly reward she had received for half a year had already been replaced by twelve silver ingots to save space. She found an excuse to enter the opposite room, took out six silver ingots and gave them to the boy. Li Yaoguang personally sent the master and apprentice away.
Because he was convinced of the character of the old doctor's wife, Li Yaoguang took the opportunity to make a request to the old doctor on the way to Jiaomen.
"Doctor, my uncle's injury is so serious, and he still has broken muscles and bones. I'm also afraid that he will be in unbearable pain sometimes. I wonder if you have any prescriptions or pills here to deal with it? Another one, my cousin, you were the same just now. Although the patient who has been diagnosed is not seriously ill, he is still old. It's really small. I wonder if you have any commonly used medicines for children, such as these pills for panic, diarrhea, or high fever that won't go away? If so, please give me some. You can safely distribute them to us. Rich.”
The old doctor thought for a while and couldn't help but think about many of Li Yaoguang's difficulties. He also sympathized with her that it was not easy for her to worry about her parents at such a young age, so he nodded softly. "These old men are there, but they are not available for a while. In this case, you go with me to get the medicine now. For the other things you want, I will have them ready in two days. You can come to the medical center to get them."
After receiving the correct words, Li Yaoguang thanked him profusely and arrived at the corner gate unknowingly.
At this moment, the corner door was closed tightly. Mrs. Zhou held her daughter and stood guard by the door. From time to time, she looked towards the inner courtyard. It was obvious that she was waiting for her party.
When the old man saw her, Mrs. Zhou felt relieved and overjoyed. She hurriedly opened the door and before sending Li Yaoguang and his party out, Fusheng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, poked his head out.
"Sir!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yaoguang was startled and looked at the probing head, "Brother Fusheng, why haven't you left yet?"
But Fusheng smiled naively, "I'm afraid that sir has some errands here, and the doctor he invited is not allowed to be sent back. Sir, is everything okay at home? Is the doctor going to leave? Otherwise, it's still the same. Let me send you to the doctor for you.”
Fusheng showed his kindness and was escorted by carriages and horses, so she couldn't let the old doctor force him to walk with her. She was doing this in vain, so Li Yaoguang didn't show any pretense. He nodded to Fusheng and asked the doctor to go with him when he went out.
Fusheng was surprised when he saw it. Li Yaoguang quickly explained that he was going to get the medicine, and Fusheng took care of it.
"Sir, aren't you out of touch? I was sent by the shopkeeper to serve you. You can just leave it to me for small things like sending people to get medicine. Don't worry, I will drive very quickly and I will definitely send the doctor safely." Come back and I’ll get the medicine for you shortly.”
Li Yaoguang was not polite, so he handed the prescription to Fusheng, told him a few words that he would be waiting for him to return outside the corner gate, and then watched Fusheng and his party leave.
When the person walked far away and no longer saw the shadow, Li Yaoguang suddenly remembered the two bags of food that he had left in a hurry and had no time to deal with them. He thought to himself that he had to move into his house quickly to avoid losing them. He raised his feet to leave, not wanting the clothes behind him to be lost. People grabbed hold.
Li Yaoguang looked back and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw it was Mrs. Zhou. He saw the woman smiling and spreading her hands towards her.
"Cousin, what about the ten taels you promised me to give you when the job is done?"
Yes, it turns out it costs money.
She didn't intend to refuse the bill, but she was so busy talking about it that she forgot about it now.
And for people like this, as long as my aunt and the others are still in the house, they will always be of use to her, just like this one.
Although times had changed, she still felt heartbroken. She felt that the promise of twenty taels was too much. I was afraid that she was not mentally retarded just now, and she felt regretful, but she did not refuse the payment.
With a calm face, he took out another ten taels and offered it. Li Yaoguang had no time to look at the woman holding the silver and chewing it to verify the authenticity, smiling with a flattering look on her face.
He only confessed that he had to go into the hospital for a while and asked her to stay in. After Mrs. Zhou thanked her for her kindness, Li Yaoguang left and walked to the place where Fu Sheng left the food before leaving. However, he did not find his two bags of food. Confused, I thought I would wait a while to ask Fusheng who had returned, but when I returned to the door of my hut, I saw the two bags of grain intact and stacked at the door of my house.
