Chapter 22 The benevolence of doctors
Hearing Mr. Lu say the same thing, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Then just give me a kidney-tonifying prescription. I haven't finished the other medicines at home yet."
When people around him heard this, they immediately understood that this person was worried about money.
Prescribing less medicine will of course be cheaper.
Mr. Lu shook his head and said:
"According to the rules, we need to prescribe all the prescriptions together, because we don't know what kind of prescriptions they prescribe."
"If you are not cured by then, it will become our responsibility."
The middle-aged woman quickly said:
"No, no, I won't blame you."
She glanced at Fang Yan and said:
"I am not one of those unreasonable people. No one else saw my problem. This little comrade not only saw it, but also told me my symptoms. It seems that he is a capable person."
"I also heard him say just now that the medicines prescribed by those people before were fine, but they just prescribed one less kidney-tonifying one. In that case, why should I waste that money?"
"We rural people can save as much as we can. Money at home is very important. If I hadn't been really sick this time, I wouldn't have come to the city to see you."
Seeing the other party insisting again and again, Mr. Lu had no choice but to nod:
"If you are just worried about money, I do have some rights and can apply for a reduction of this part of the drug fee for you."
"Huh? Then this... I'm so embarrassed..." The woman was obviously tempted. If she could reduce the cost of some of the medicine, of course she would be happy to take it all.
But others are a little curious, when can Tongrentang apply for drug fee exemption?
As he spoke, Mr. Lu picked up an unsealed slip, wrote a line on it, and then handed it to Fang Yan:
"For the patient you see, you can prescribe this prescription."
Fang Yan looked at the words on it and was stunned for a moment, then nodded and started to write the prescription.
Mr. Lu wrote on the paper above that the medicines for strengthening the spleen and liver would be counted on him, and it was not an application for exemption or reduction.
Fang Yan hesitated for a moment and knew that this was a problem caused by his words just now.
So I quickly wrote a complete prescription without saying anything.
After checking it over, Mr. Lu didn't make any changes, so he handed it over to Jia Dapeng who was standing aside and asked him to take it to settle the price first.
Jia Dapeng settled the accounts and asked the woman to pay. The other party confirmed several times that only the money for his kidney-tonifying medicine would be charged and other deductions would be made, and then he went to pick up the medicine with the prescription.
Everyone here is literate, not only the place where money is collected but also the people who pick up medicine. They all read Mr. Lu’s instructions above.
Everyone tacitly understood it and did not say it out loud. When the woman picked up the medicine, Fang Yan gave instructions on how to prepare the medicine before leaving, and then delivered it to her door personally.
After they left, Fang Yan went to inquire at the price counter and found out how much Mr. Lu had to pay for the medicine.
Fang Yan took out the money from himself and was about to settle the bill, but Mr. Lu stopped him and said that was what he was willing to give and asked him not to care about it.
After hearing what he said, Fang Yan agreed without any pretense.
Returning to the consultation position, Lu Donghua explained to Fang Yan that the reason why he did this was mainly a matter of principle. It was impossible for him to be able to treat people well, but the other party couldn't cure such a small problem because of money. In addition, this person is the first patient to be seen at Fangyan's opening today, so she must be cured. The money for medicine is nothing at all.
Dialect can only say that people in each era have different ideas. If it were the era before he traveled, he would not care what the patient said and just prescribe him all the medicines, as much as he should give.
How she wants to eat when she goes back is her own business.
On the contrary, in this era, Lu Donghua can be so responsible. He hears the needs of patients because he is afraid of spending more money, so he has to prescribe medicines to others even if he pays for it himself.
Dialect can only say that the quality of doctors in this era is indeed higher than mine.
Next, another doctor came, and the process was the same as before. Fang Yan made the diagnosis first, and then Mr. Lu continued the follow-up consultation. After confirming that there were no problems, he prescribed medicine in Fang Yan, because it was just a cold caused by taking a cold shower. So this little problem was solved quickly.
Just when work was about to end at noon, a slightly more serious patient came in. He was a nine-year-old boy. His face had been paralyzed for a day, and his grandmother brought him over for treatment.
His parents were from an oil company and were exploring the Gobi desert all year round, so only his grandparents were looking after him at home. The old man didn't have any common sense. When he first discovered his facial paralysis, he tried his own home-made methods, but found that not only did he not get better, On the contrary, it got worse. At noon today, I found that the child could not eat lunch, so I reluctantly took the child to the nearest Tongrentang to have a look.
Seeing that he was a patient with facial paralysis, the happiest thing was Jia Dapeng, who had been waiting to learn acupuncture. Two patients came before noon today, and the others came to buy finished medicine. Mr. Lu only did it for half a day every day. I went home in the afternoon.
I originally thought that I would not be able to study today, but unexpectedly, when I was about to finish my work, the patient came over.
Jia Dapeng hurriedly went up and brought a chair enthusiastically, and before even waiting for the dialect diagnosis, he hurriedly said:
"Facial paralysis requires acupuncture. Acupuncture heals quickly. The last time an old man had facial paralysis, Mr. Lu was much better after just a few injections. The next day, he received a few more injections, and then he was completely healed."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I won't take injections!" When the boy heard Jia Dapeng's words, he immediately panicked and ran away.
When the old lady saw that her grandson was about to run away, she hurriedly said:
"This child is afraid of injections, why don't you get some medicine."
"We can afford to wait, so it doesn't matter if we take it slow."
It can be seen that the old lady is quite considerate of her little grandson's thoughts.
Hearing her say this, Jia Dapeng was a little dumbfounded. He had known that he would not say it.
Fang Yan stood up at this time and looked at the child with crooked eyes. He walked to him and knelt down in front of him, observed him carefully, then held his hand on the other person's inch guan ruler, and said while diagnosing the pulse:
"Little brother, acupuncture is not an injection."
"It is best to treat facial paralysis early, otherwise it will become more serious as time passes. Moreover, as long as the acupuncture technique is good, you will not feel the pain."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask grandpa." After saying that, he glanced at Lu Donghua.
He is not lying to children. For acupuncture, as long as the needle is inserted quickly enough to break through the skin and the acupuncture points are accurate enough, the patient will feel swelling and numbness instead of pain.
And the most important thing is that the doctor should give the patient a positive attitude and tell him that he has the ability to prevent him from feeling pain.
This theory is also recorded in "Suwen. Life-saving Comprehensive Theory":
"Anything that can truly stab you must first heal the spirit."
Healing the mind means that the doctor uses his words and deeds to adjust the patient's mentality. Only in this way can the patient's mood be stabilized to a great extent and the patient's fear of pain be relieved.
Similar remarks like this can be found in similar passages in "The Great Doctor's Sincerity" and "Shengji Jing".
After Mr. Lu heard what Fang Yan said, he immediately nodded in cooperation and said:
"Yes, acupuncture is different from injections. Ours doesn't hurt."
The child originally wanted to run, but when the two doctors said firmly that it didn't hurt, he became dubious and quieted down.
