The taxi drove Qin Fan to Baihu Village in a jumbled manner. Only then did Qin Fan realize that Baihu Village was actually a village in the city.
There are identical three-story buildings everywhere.
"Oh, fellow countryman, where does Dr. Cheng live?"
Qin Fan asked a passerby.
"To find Dr. Cheng, you have to go forward. Turn left into the building with the supermarket in front. This is where you see people queuing up."
The passerby smiled and pointed the direction to Qin Fan.
After Qin Fan thanked him, he stepped forward to look for him.
Less than two hundred meters away, there was a supermarket. Turning left and going in, he saw a long queue in front of a small building.
There are men and women, old and young, and many people bring their own small stools to sit on while queuing.
There were about twenty people, and when they saw this scene, Qin Fan was secretly amazed.
Not taking any money, only seeing a doctor but not taking medicine, and still getting a very good reputation. This is definitely a very strange phenomenon in today's society.
Qin Fan didn't queue up, he just wanted to meet Dr. Cheng, who had a very good reputation.
Dr. Cheng is an old man in his seventies.
He has a goatee on his chin and has a thin body but bright eyes.
He only set up a table in front of the small building. On the table was a small pulse pillow, a box of silver needles, and a water cup.
The paper used to write the prescription is still a student's homework book, which is very informal.
The crowd in the queue saw that Qin Fan was just watching the excitement out of curiosity, so no one said anything to stop him.
At this time, a man in his thirties was seeing a doctor.
When Dr. Cheng takes the pulse, he likes to close his eyes and take a closer look. People around him are very self-conscious and do not make loud noises. They are all whispering.
After half a minute, Dr. Cheng completed the pulse diagnosis on both hands.
He smoothed his goatee under his chin with his right hand.
"Xiao Li, you have eaten too much spicy food."
The young man named Xiao Li was probably very familiar with Dr. Cheng. He touched his belly and felt a little embarrassed.
"Dr. Cheng, I have a lot of entertainment at my job, so there's nothing I can do about it."
"When the oral ulcer first appeared a week ago, I still had a fever. I went to the doctor and took some Western medicine, and the fever was cured."
"But the oral ulcers never healed. I vomited after taking a lot of Western medicine. Now it's difficult for me to even eat."
Dr. Cheng nodded, "Are there any other symptoms?"
Xiao Li said: "I have some swelling and pain in my forehead and dry stool. No matter how much water I drink, it can't relieve it."
"Let me look at my tongue."
Dr. Cheng said.
Xiao Li stuck out his tongue. The tip of his tongue was red and the coating was thin and yellow.
Qin Fan just watched from the side and listened to the two people's questions and answers.
He then concluded that this was a common oral ulcer caused by accumulation of heat in the spleen and stomach.
Dr. Cheng thought for a moment and wrote down a prescription in his homework book.
Qin Fan saw it very clearly and made the prescription using licorice, skullcap, coptis, pinellia, dried ginger, jujube, gypsum, rehmannia root, kudzu root, etc.
He nodded secretly, this prescription is also known as Licorice Xiexin Decoction.
Speaking of oral ulcers, they are actually a common disease.
The cause of oral ulcers is unknown, but there are many factors that lead to oral ulcers.
For example, bacterial or viral infection, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, and digestive system diseases can cause oral ulcers.
The use of Licorice Xiexin Decoction to treat oral ulcers is recorded in "The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber".
"Fox confusion is a disease, the symptoms are like typhoid fever, silently wanting to sleep, unable to close the eyes, restless when lying down and getting up, if it is in the throat it is confusion, if it is in the yin it is fox.
No desire to eat, aversion to the smell of food... Licorice Xiexin Decoction is the best treatment."
The clinical manifestations of "Fox Confusion Disease" described by Zhang Zhongjing, a generation of medical sages, include damage to the skin and mucous membranes, ulcers in the throat or genitals, inflammation of the eyes, aversion to cold and fever, with symptoms like typhoid fever.
Its pathogenesis is dampness and heat soaking, blocking the meridians, and affecting the throat and mouth.
Therefore, it is very appropriate for Dr. Cheng to use Licorice Xiexin Decoction here.
From this, Qin Fan felt that Dr. Cheng's reputation was not in vain and he had a very solid foundation.
Doctor Cheng handed the simple prescription in his hand to Xiao Li.
He warned: "Take 3 doses first. If it is still not cleared, you can continue to take 2 doses."
"Well, thank you, Dr. Cheng."
"Remember to avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol while taking the medicine."
Xiao Li happily took the prescription without paying for it, let alone taking any medicine.
As soon as he stepped forward, an old man sat down on the stool.
Qin Fan saw Dr. Cheng and diagnosed several patients, all with common colds, constipation, stomach problems, etc.
Qin Fan then discovered that Dr. Cheng's medication characteristics were that he liked to add or subtract based on the classic prescriptions, which was quite flexible.
The dosage of medication is quite satisfactory, which may be related to age.
As soon as a male patient was sent away, a young woman sat down.
She is of medium height, very thin, and her complexion is pale and slightly bluish. She keeps pinching the seal with her hands vigorously.
Perhaps the pain is unbearable and has left deep nail marks.
She said: "Dr. Cheng, please take a look at it for me. I have a severe headache."
Dr. Cheng nodded and motioned for her to have a pulse check.
The other party stretched out his wrist, and Qin Fan saw that the skin of the wrist was fair, and the veins on the wrist were thin and green, clearly visible.
After a few minutes, Dr. Cheng let go of the other person's wrist and looked at his tongue again. The tongue coating was white.
"What other symptoms do you have?"
Dr. Cheng asked.
"Occasionally, there will be retching, or vomiting of some thin saliva, and the limbs will be cold and cold."
the woman said.
Based on the other party's symptoms, Qin Fan judged in his mind that this was a typical Jueyin headache.
Jueyin headache comes from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and is one of the three yin headaches. It is characterized by apex pain, that is, pain in the top of the head.
It is also recorded in "Lanshi Secret Treasure? Headache Gate" that "Jueyin head and neck pain, or spitting up foam, coldness, and a slow and slow pulse can be treated by Evodia Fructus Decoction."
Evodia decoction includes four herbs, namely Evodia, ginseng, jujube and ginger.
Sure enough, Dr. Cheng stroked his goatee out of habit, thought for a moment, and then wrote down the prescription.
The prescription is composed of Evodia, red ginseng, dried ginger, jujube, plus aconite and asarum.
But this time Dr. Cheng didn't hand the prescription to the young woman for a long time, and he took a long time to think about it. It seemed that there was something missing in the whole prescription.
Qin Fan leaned closer, as if he knew what Dr. Cheng was hesitating about.
I couldn't help but remind: "2 grams of raw leeches, one centipede."
Dr. Cheng received Qin Fan's reminder and did not write down. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Qin Fan in surprise.
In fact, he was considering whether to use these two medicines.
But the first impression Qin Fan gave him was that he was so young that it was unreal.
And how does such a young man know what he is thinking?
"Hey, young man, if you don't understand Chinese medicine, don't interrupt. Dr. Cheng has his own thoughts."
Someone reminded.
Indeed, it's like watching someone play chess.
Talking too much is very frowned upon.
If it were Dr. Liu from Liu's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, he might really not like it.
But for Dr. Cheng, who is indifferent to money, fame and fortune, and only prescribes prescriptions without charging fees, Qin Fan believes that the doctor's mind is equal to his approach.
"Little brother, do you also know Chinese medicine?"
Dr. Cheng asked curiously.
He really didn't have any anger at all, just a sense of surprise as a fellow-minded person.
