Work hard to gain experience

Chapter 57 Prescriptions
Zhong Qingxue's request to Xia Le'an is to memorize those thirty Chinese medicine books, but Xia Le'an's request to herself is that while memorizing the books, she must also improve her Chinese medicine skills to a high level, otherwise, for him, it will be a failure .

"But... how to do it?"

In the past few days, Xia Le'an has learned a lot about some related knowledge.

If you want to treat others, you don't just need medical skills. First of all, you must have a Chinese medicine practitioner qualification certificate recognized by the state, otherwise you will be practicing medicine without a license.

If you set up a street stall, it is barely feasible to see a patient and change places. However, those who are really unwell will basically go to the hospital. How could they go to the doctor at the street stall?

"While setting up a street stall to tell fortunes for others, do you have a part-time job to see a doctor?"

Thinking of the super-strength combat unit that claimed to be able to regain lost ground with 3000 people, Xia Le'an immediately dismissed the idea.

"Then only..."

The next day, after delivering breakfast to Zhong Qingxue as a routine, Xia Le'an, who was tired for a while, walked into a small clinic on the side of the road.

In the clinic, there was only an old man over fifty years old. When he saw Xia Lean, he nodded and smiled habitually: "What's the matter?"

"Uh...that...how should I put it..."

Xia Le'an was still a little embarrassed, tangled for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Well, sir, my... is studying Chinese medicine, and then, the teacher asked us to do a social experiment to try our own level, so I thought with..."

While finishing speaking, Xia Le'an kept muttering in her heart: "The system is responsible, the system is responsible, it's not that I want to lie..."

The old man looked Xia Le'an up and down: "Oh?"

Seeing that the old man was willing to answer, Xia Le'an immediately followed up and said: "That's it, it's an assigned homework, I've thought about it, and the only way I can think of is this. Look, can I help here? Don't worry, you don't need any reward..."

The old man pondered for a while, and asked, "Do you study Chinese medicine?"

"Correct!"

Xia Le'an immediately nodded and smiled, and the old man nodded and smiled: "Then, can the basic medicine be grasped?"

"Get medicine?"

Xia Le'an originally wanted to say that he felt the pulse of the patient, but after thinking about it, the feasibility of this is really too low, but taking medicine...

Grabbing medicine, Xia Le'an only watched others do it, found the needed medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet full of walls, took out the exact amount of medicine, packed it up and handed it to the patient.

It seems to be a very simple physical work, but in fact, it also requires technical content. What medicine is where, and how much medicine is taken at a glance. If the movements are too unfamiliar and waste time, even if the patient does not say anything, Xia Le'an herself would be embarrassed.

The old man still smiled: "It's a coincidence that it's my daughter-in-law who is usually responsible for dispensing medicine. These days, she went back to her mother's house to help. It's okay if there are fewer people, but when there are more people, it's really too busy."

"So, you agreed?"

Xia Le'an didn't give up hope at first. After all, taking medicine is already a very simple matter for a small clinic, but she still looks embarrassed.

"It's okay, no matter who you are, you have come all the way with no experience. Isn't it like this for students who just came out of school? Don't need to be so nervous?"

The old man pointed to the medicine cabinets that filled the entire wall: "Let's see where these medicines are first?"

"Ok."

Xia Le'an quickly nodded in agreement.

The first step is considered a success.

As for treating patients, to be honest, even if the old man is willing, Xia Le'an may not dare to do it. The content given by entry-level medical skills is, what kind of pulse it may be, what disease it may be, and what medicine may be able to cure it. It's all like this With ambiguous descriptions, Xia Le'an didn't dare to use them on patients before he was sure about the accuracy of these descriptions. If something went wrong, it would be a big deal.

Xia Le'an began to stare at the medicine cabinets by the wall, and at the same time chatted casually with the old man, learning about the basic situation of this small clinic.

The old man’s surname is Huang, and he has been a doctor for nearly 30 years. Residents nearby will come here for consultation if they have minor headaches and brain fever. Although it is only a few minutes away from the hospital, there is a registration queue in the hospital, and medical insurance can also be paid here. Therefore, business is still possible.

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged woman walked in with a child in her arms: "Doctor Huang, please take a look, Xiaobao's body has been very hot since the morning..."

Doctor Huang immediately got up and went forward to observe.

The child in the woman's hands is still very young and is fast asleep.

Xia Le'an immediately used entry-level medical skills, and a translucent text description appeared on the child.

"It may be a fever, and it should be cured by taking some antipyretics. "

It's possible...and should...

Xia Le'an was quite displeased with this description, but after carefully checking the child's condition, Dr. Huang actually said: "It's just a fever, I'll prescribe some antipyretics to go back and try, and come back if it still doesn't feel better at night. Or go to the hospital..."

Doctor Huang returned to his seat and began to write the prescription, Xia Le'an was stunned.

Staring at the translucent description on the child again, why is it the same as what Doctor Huang said?Then why add the word "possible"?
Doctor Huang wrote the prescription and handed it to Xia Le'an, Xia Le'an took it and glanced at it, his expression instantly became awkward.

Not to mention that Xia Le'an is not very familiar with medicinal materials, even if he is familiar with them, he can't tell them at all. To put it bluntly, the prescription written by Dr. Huang is just a series of tilde numbers, just the ups and downs of the waves There are only high and low changes.

Seeing Xia Le'an's expression, Dr. Huang was thoughtful: "Haven't you learned to read prescriptions?"

Xia Le'an smiled awkwardly, Doctor Huang didn't say much, took back the prescription, and started to grab the medicine from the medicine cabinet.

Xia Le'an watched carefully from the side, until Dr. Huang finished grabbing the medicine and handed it to the woman, he still couldn't see anything.

After the woman left, Xia Le'an lowered her voice, pointed to a small wavy line on the prescription and asked, "Doctor Huang, is this Tian Qi?"

"Yeah, isn't that clearly written?"

Doctor Huang responded as a matter of course, Xia Le'an just wanted to roll his eyes: "Well, the words of the prescription, are there any special learning materials?"

Doctor Huang stared at Xia Le'an for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Do you know why the prescriptions are written so sloppily?"

Xia Le'an shook her head curiously, and Doctor Huang explained: "Because, it is only necessary for the doctor and the person who prescribed the prescription to be able to understand the prescription. In other words, it is best for the patient not to understand the words on the prescription."

"why?"

Xia Le'an was really surprised. Dr. Huang rolled his eyes at the prescription in Xia Le'an's hand and asked: "This time, the patient had a fever. I prescribed this prescription. What if he has a cold next time? If he can understand the prescription , will you buy the medicine directly according to the prescription? Although the physical symptoms look the same, but there is a gap between the lack of one medicine or one more medicine..."
