Boils and erysipelas may seem similar, but in fact they are completely different.
However, according to the ideas of Dr. Cui, two veteran Chinese medicine doctors, pig bile can treat wounds caused by fish bone stabbings.
Xiao Chen gave the old woman a prescription for detoxification and blood circulation decoction, which should be effective in one day and completely cured in three days.
After the old lady thanked Xiao Chen and got the prescription, Dr. Cui asked again: "Doctor Xiao, is this pig bile really useless?"
"Actually, you can give it a try. Pig bile is cold and bitter, and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. The old lady was also attacked by poisonous evil spirits. The evil spirits were stagnant in the body, and the qi and blood were blocked. The stasis turned into heat for a long time, and the heat and poison were blocked.
, formed from the outside of the skin. But the guy last night had snake-eye furuncle, which is called paronychia in Western medicine, which is different."
After hearing Xiao Chen's detailed introduction, these two old Chinese medicine doctors finally understood the two distinctions.
If they look at it and think that the two diseases are actually the same, there will definitely be no difference in the medicine they prescribe. As for the effect of the medicine on the patient, it depends on their luck.
It can only be said that we have not really tried to prescribe the right medicine for the disease. Whether it is western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, it has definitely not achieved that effect.
…
At the end of the day, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Xiao Chen saw the last patient.
Nearly three hundred patients have eaten breakfast, then taken time to have lunch at noon, and have not had dinner until now, except for drinking a few glasses of water during the period.
Boss Zhao who was watching from the side felt that Xiao Chen was working too hard.
He alone can handle the number of patients a small or medium-sized hospital can see in a day.
Many of the Chinese medicinal materials that Boss Zhao has in stock here are about to be used up, and they can only purchase them from China.
However, Korea is far away from China. Under normal circumstances, if it is transported by air, it may not take one day, and if it is shipped by sea, it may not take more than a week.
This is still very fast.
When Xiao Chen went over to have dinner, Boss Zhao said: "Dr. Xiao, you have worked so hard. I'm afraid my pharmacists are all tired these two days."
"I'm going to participate in the finals of the Eastern Medicine Competition tomorrow morning, so I won't be coming over."
Boss Zhao already knows this.
Of course, after these two days, he no longer knows how much he has earned for medicinal materials. It may be two or three months' worth of medicinal materials.
In fact, these
The cost of medicinal materials is not very cheap here either.
After all, there are at least seven doses at a time, so a pair of expensive medicinal materials costs several hundred Chinese yuan, while cheap ones cost one or two hundred Chinese yuan.
Of course, it is much cheaper than those Western medicines.
The most important thing is that Xiao Chen, a famous doctor, provides free consultations, so many patients come to see him.
Anyway, the prices of medicinal materials bought in other stores are about the same, and there are free doctors here to look after them. Of course they come here to look at them.
After dinner at Boss Zhao's place, Xiao Chen, Tang Bing, and Mo Xiaowan returned to the hotel room.
After taking a shower at the hotel, go to bed early.
Early the next morning.
Xiao Chen received a call from a contact person in the organizing committee of the Oriental Medicine Competition.
"Dr. Xiao, are you up?"
"Hello, I just got up."
"That's right, you come to our hospital first."
Go to their hospital first?
Xiao Chen will definitely have to take a bus to Seoul.
With Xiao Chen and Mo Xiaowan, Tang Bing hurriedly finished breakfast and then took a taxi to the hospital under the Hyundai Group.
At that big hospital, Xiao Chen thought he was competing here at first, but he didn't expect that it might not be the case at all.
Xiao Chen discovered that there were less than thirty old Chinese medicine practitioners left to participate in the finals.
Probably most of them are from China, and the rest are from Korea, Japan, and a few old Chinese doctors from Southeast Asia.
After Xiao Chen greeted each other.
Not long after, a person in charge of the organizing committee of the Oriental Medicine Competition came over.
"Everyone, you are welcome to enter the finals of our Eastern Medicine Competition. However, the location of the finals is not here now, but in a mental hospital. You must be mentally prepared."
Psychiatric hospital?
Could it be that the patients they want to treat are mentally ill?
There is no doubt that mental illness is one of the most difficult illnesses to treat.
Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is difficult to treat patients with this type of disease.
However, Xiao Chen didn't feel anything.
If they were going to a mental hospital, Xiao Chen felt that Tang Bing and the others should not follow him there.
After letting Tang Bing and the two stay in Seoul, Xiao Chen called Li Xiuzhi and asked Li Xiuzhi to come over and accompany the two women.
"Ms. Li, it's me
.”
"Dr. Xiao, I'm still in college." Li Xiuzhi said over there.
Now she is not the translator for the competition and does not need to come here again.
And she was just one of the volunteers who participated that day.
"My two friends are here at the entrance of the hospital. I will go to the psychiatric hospital to see patients when I arrive, so I won't take them there. You can come and take them around Seoul."
Li Xiuzhi already understood.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen asked Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan to wait here.
After waiting there for less than ten minutes, Xiao Chen and more than 20 other contestants, senior Chinese medicine practitioners, boarded a bus.
The place the bus was driving to was a psychiatric hospital located on the outskirts of Seoul. This psychiatric hospital should be the largest psychiatric hospital in Korea and Seoul.
There are nearly 3,000 mentally ill patients and staff there, which is almost the same as those of medium-sized middle schools.
It took Xiao Chen and the old Chinese medicine doctors on the bus nearly an hour and a half to get there.
When the car stopped, Xiao Chen and the old Chinese medicine doctors got out of the car. Why did they feel so quiet here? It felt so quiet here.
Of course, the trees outside are lush and the scenery looks very nice.
Most of Xiao Chen and the veteran Chinese medicine practitioners who participated in the competition looked very good.
However, the faces of the old Chinese medicine doctors from Korea who entered the finals looked very ugly.
When they saw this place, they really didn't want to come to a place like this if they didn't want to compete here.
Are the psychiatric hospitals that even veteran Chinese doctors in this country are afraid of really so scary?
"Why do you look so scared?" Xiao Chen asked.
"This is the new Konjiam Psychiatric Hospital."
Konjiam Psychiatric Hospital?
Xiao Chen heard about it for the first time.
However, everyone in Korea knows that the old Konjiam Psychiatric Hospital is also in Seoul, but it is particularly scary.
However, when foreigners like Xiao Chen came to Korea, they had naturally never heard of it.
Now the old Konjiam Psychiatric Hospital has long been abandoned, and the new Konjiam Psychiatric Hospital is no longer called Konjiam, but another name.
However, in the view of these old Chinese doctors from Korea, they are actually the same. In fact, many elderly mental patients among them were actually transferred from that place.
