due to their superior's illness, treating them with utmost respect. Even the Director of Deep Sea Hospital had been searched by them when visiting the superior for the first time; how could a mere doc...Chapter 96 Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage (Please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket)
"The ginseng you see in the market nowadays is mostly artificially cultivated. In our medical community, this type of ginseng is called 'fake ginseng.' Its medicinal efficacy doesn't even reach one percent of genuine wild mountain ginseng. If used with this prescription….." Upon seeing Xiao Yu and his group's nonchalant attitude, Old Yue patiently explained.
"Esteemed old sir, our ginseng is also wild mountain ginseng!" Xiao Yu was only grateful for Old Yue's patient explanation.
As the elder said, genuine wild mountain ginseng available in the market nowadays is indeed scarce. In recent years, a large number of ginseng collectors rushed into the Changbai Mountains, nearly causing wild ginseng to become extinct there. Now one can only find it deep within some primeval forests.
"Young man, may I see your ginseng After all, if it's not up to standard, it could affect a person’s life!" Seeing Xiao Yu claim that their ginseng was wild mountain ginseng too, Old Yue didn't believe him and said this.
From his perspective, Xiao Yu and his young group couldn’t possibly know the difference between artificially cultivated and genuine wild mountain ginseng. Nowadays, if you went to any pharmacy to buy ginseng, they would all claim it was wild mountain ginseng—could that be possible If pharmacies sold nothing but genuine wild mountain ginseng, wouldn't there be ginseng growing everywhere on the Changbai Mountains
"Sorry, esteemed old sir. Our ginseng isn't with us right now; you can just prepare our medicine first! Before we boil it, we’ll bring it to you for your inspection," Xiao Yu's ginseng was in the car and wasn’t on him. Furthermore, he knew about his own ginseng, but seeing that this elder had their best interests at heart, Xiao Yu didn't want to directly say anything, hence his reply.
This old man, like Xiao Yu, didn't use a scale when preparing medicine but rather picked up each herb randomly.
"You….." Wei Jun saw that Old Yue didn’t care about the amount of herbs and simply picked them up at random. Having graduated from the Deep Sea College of Traditional Chinese Medicine although he hadn’t worked in this field since graduation, he knew that medicine couldn't be prepared casually; taking too much or improper combinations could be fatal. Seeing Old Yue pick up the medicine without even weighing it, Wei Jun was about to speak but was stopped by Xiao Yu. From his grasp on how the elder prepared medicine, Xiao Yu knew the elder was just like him—neither more nor less.
The apprentice of Renhe Hall and several other apprentices preparing medicine all paused their work upon seeing Old Yue prepare medicine, looking at him with admiration. Every time Old Yue prepared medicine, these apprentices would put down what they were doing; initially, the leadership at Renhe Hall had said something about it a couple times but later saw that after watching Old Yue prepare medicine, the apprentices' enthusiasm for work skyrocketed so decided to turn a blind eye.
Every time Old Yue prepared medicine, he would tell his apprentices stories from when he was an apprentice himself, greatly stimulating their passion and hope to one day become renowned doctors like him.
After Professor Yue finished getting his prescription filled, the clerk quickly wrapped up and tied the medicine. Renhetang still uses yellow straw paper and paper twine to wrap traditional Chinese medicine, unlike some regular pharmacies that use plastic bags.
When Professor Yue handed over the neatly tied medicine to Xiao Yu, he turned to Wei Jun and said, "Young man, don’t mind my old nagging or harsh words. Although young people are physically strong, they must also be cautious and moderate; otherwise..."
"I... "
The old man’s speech made Wei Jun's face turn red, but he didn't say anything as he knew it would make him look even more foolish in front of everyone.
"Hey, are you okay Hey..."
Xiao Yu and the others were about to leave with their medicine when they heard cries coming from the western medicine section. Everyone who had been buying Chinese medicine went over there, and Xiao Yu and Wei Jun exchanged a look before joining them.
Professor Yue also left his counter to follow behind them. When Xiao Yu and the others got there, a pharmacist was crying while telling her story.
It turned out that someone had come in to buy medicine for alcohol poisoning but fainted as soon as he spoke, spewing vomit and losing consciousness on the floor.
"Has an ambulance been called" A person who looked like a manager asked the pharmacist.
The pharmacist was too scared to answer properly; she could only nod vigorously while crying.
Xiao Yu pushed his way through the crowd when he arrived. The area was packed with people. Xiao Yu tried to push forward but couldn’t, so he said, "Everyone, please make way, I’m a doctor!"
In fact, Xiao Yu forgot that even though Renhetang appears to be just a pharmacy, there are also several attending doctors here.
The person who seemed like an official asked for the details of what happened and realized that the responsibility did not lie with the salesperson; it was due to this man suddenly collapsing on his own. He then breathed a sigh of relief and said to the crowd surrounding him, "Everyone please make way and ensure good ventilation!"
Hearing him mention ventilation, the people gradually dispersed but remained nearby, watching. Several Western medicine doctors from Renhetang wanted to approach but were stopped by the person who looked like an official; he shook his head at them.
In this official’s mind, since this man's illness had nothing to do with their pharmacy, they need not concern themselves with it. After all, they’ve already called for an ambulance; if they interfere and something goes wrong, even if the patient survives, what about if he dies They would be unable to prove anything, no matter how many words they speak. It’s better off this way; whether he lives or dies is none of their business.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Xiao Yu hurried over and followed closely behind were Old Yue. The person who looked like an official tried to stop them but seeing that it was Old Yue following him, he hesitated, not wanting to speak up. He knew very well about Old Yue’s character; if he stopped Old Yue now, Old Yue would most likely ask for his resignation immediately.
This decision might be correct from the perspective of Renhetang as a whole; without these senior experts around, the company might even reward him for his actions. But with them here, he is contravening Renhetang’s century-old business ethics. If these senior experts decide to leave due to this matter, it could lead to disciplinary action against him by the company to quell their anger. In a situation like this, the company would definitely choose to prioritize the senior experts.
As Xiao Yu approached and began feeling for his pulse with one hand, Old Yue, who was following behind him, looked at Xiao Yu in surprise. Is this young man a doctor And an expert in traditional Chinese medicine What could such a young practitioner do Back when he was the same age as Xiao Yu, he was still working in pharmacies.
But life is at stake here; it's like fighting a fire to save someone’s life. He didn’t have time to talk with Xiao Yu and so moved over to take the other hand of the patient for diagnosis.
The person who looked like an official saw Old Yue taking the pulse, realizing that they could not avoid this situation any longer, he instructed several Western doctors.
Hearing his instructions, a few Western medicine doctors standing nearby rushed over to their consultation desks to retrieve equipment. Soon enough, they returned with common devices such as blood pressure monitors and stethoscopes.
A doctor in his thirties took out the sphygmomanometer and knelt beside the patient preparing to take his blood pressure while another doctor produced an electrocardiogram machine intending to measure it.
A doctor ran over with a small box in his hand, opened it and took out a portable brainwave measuring device.
This brainwave measuring device was purchased by this doctor using special funds applied for from Renhe Hall. It has always been his exclusive equipment. This doctor is a master’s degree holder who returned from the United States after studying abroad. To attract talent and increase Renhe Hall's fame in deep-sea areas, they offered him a high salary.
When this neurosurgeon joined Renhe Hall, he found there were no facilities available to him, which was quite inconvenient for someone who relied on equipment. Therefore, he applied for the device.
The place where Xiao Yu and Professor Ye were squatting was near the patient's head, making it difficult for this overseas returnee master’s degree holder to operate the instrument. He then said to Xiao Yu, "Move aside, can't you see that I'm treating a patient!"
He wouldn’t dare speak so rudely to Professor Ye, even though he looked down on traditional Chinese medicine and only believed in his equipment. After all, Renhe Hall valued these TCM experts more than him.
In his opinion, what could a doctor achieve by touching the wrist Even if they were very skilled at diagnosing illnesses through this method, how accurate could it be compared to his equipment
Therefore, he looked down on traditional Chinese medicine from the bottom of his heart. However, despite his disdain for TCM, he didn’t dare offend these old experts. Xiao Yu was different; as a young man learning pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, what could he possibly achieve with it
Xiao Yu stood up because he had already diagnosed the patient's condition. As soon as Xiao Yu got up, Professor Ye also stood up. He naturally heard what the young doctor said but didn’t say anything. After all, Xiao Yu was too young and even if he knew a bit of traditional Chinese medicine, how much could it really help
Therefore, in Professor Ye's view, Xiao Yu was merely spectating. It would be better to let these doctors use their equipment for diagnosis. Having lived over seventy years, what kind of people had he not seen and what kinds of situations had he not encountered Therefore, he didn’t object to the Western doctors using their equipment for diagnosis, which was to prevent the patient's family from accusing them later.
What if they failed to save the patient and the patient’s family accused them of killing him in court He couldn't refute that claim. Could he explain about yin-yang five elements theory or meridians to a judge
One could only rely on solid evidence when dealing with legal matters, so it was crucial not to have any disputes.
While the Western doctors were diagnosing the patient using their equipment, Professor Ye quietly instructed one of the staff members by his side. Upon hearing Professor Ye’s instructions, the staff member replied and then ran towards the TCM area.
Xiao Yu didn’t say anything when he saw Wei Jun's weak body. Instead, he asked Wei Jun for the car keys and quickly rushed outside Renhe Hall pharmacy where his medical bag was kept in the car. It turned out that a patient's family member had offended some of the nurses a few days ago. Since most of the patients coming here were from rural areas, most people would use cooperative medical in...
