Chapter 211: Teaching the People Needle Technique

The prescriptions are not set in stone, and the doctors use their years of experience to make adjustments and responses to the different complications that arise in patients.

Wei Jin also and Xiu Mei are not idle, although the two of them do not know medical skills, but the two can do a lot of things, help carry things, handling herbs, give Wei Ruo a hand also simply bodyguard.

Xiu Mei is used to doing this, but watching the refined and gentle Wei Jin also do these things, Xiu Mei feels a little unbelievable.

She heard people in the house say that the second young master used to seldom interact with people in the house let alone people outside, and seemed indifferent to anything.

But now he was helping the young lady to do things that only subordinates would do at unusual times, so it seemed that the second young master was very different to their young lady.

###

After six doctors, including Wei Ruo, worked tirelessly for three consecutive days from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year, the condition of the first eight patients received treatment finally improved to a large extent.

One of the earliest to receive treatment and is fit as a fiddle, Sheriff Xing, has even recovered and is physically indistinguishable from a healthy person.

After determining an effective and efficient prescription, it was necessary to start decocting the medicine in large quantities and delivering it to all the sick people in and out of the city.

But a large number of herbs had not been procured back yet, and Mrs. Yuan’s side was still trying to figure out what to do.

At present, Wei Ruo, they can use in their hands are the city’s existing stock, the city’s large and small pharmacy in the medicinal herbs they have gotten over.

Because of the Japanese trouble, perennial war, the entire Taizhou Province are always in a state of scarcity of medicinal herbs, now can call to so many drugs or Lord Yuan and Mrs. Yuan’s appearance, want more is really difficult.

But only these medicinal herbs, is far from enough, just these days of medication has used up nearly half of the amount, the rest of the most enough to ten or so people to take.

But the number of people who have fallen ill is far greater than that, and they know of more than a hundred people who have contracted the disease so far.

There are several others who don’t know and failed to notify the court, so I guess it won’t be a small book catalog.

This silenced the dervishes who were about to have a good time.

Dr. Cheng said painfully, “It was hard to come up with a method, but it failed on the herbs! Now every day, people are dying because of this disease! If we could use the medicine right away, several people would have a chance to live!”

The rest of the daiyoukai also showed their agonized expressions.

Looking at the moody crowd, Wei Ruo said, “Although medicine is not available for the time being, we still have the method of acupuncture and moxibustion, and the practice of the previous eight patients has already shown that my method of acupuncture and moxibustion is effective, and it can also help alleviate the patient’s condition to a certain extent.”

Hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the remaining five doctors all looked at her in unison.

Dr. Cheng said, “But you’re the only one, Mr. Xu, and the patients are all over the city, how can you save them?”

Wei Ruo said, “I’m not the only one, aren’t there still you guys?”

Dr. Cheng said, “But we don’t understand that acupuncture method of Mr. Xu’s.”

Acupuncture everyone knows, it is the basic training as a doctor, just the level of some differences, there are more powerful and less powerful.

“I’ll teach you the set of acupuncture methods that I administered to the patients so that I’m not the only one.” Wei Ruo replied.

At those words the crowd revealed expressions of disbelief.

This young gentleman is actually going to share her unique skill with them?

We are all doctors, naturally, we know how precious a set of subtle acupuncture techniques are, and some doctors can become a famous doctor with just a set of acupuncture techniques specializing in a certain disease, and they can live and work without worries.

Some people need to kowtow to a master in order to learn a set of subtle stitches, and only after entering the master’s door can they have the opportunity to learn.

Such a precious thing is generally not something that people can afford to easily pass on to others, or their own peers.

Wei Ruo explained: “In fact, these days I cast the needle when you are present, if you have the intention to learn, have long been able to learn to go, but you have not, when I cast the needle, in addition to the first time to see half of the back of you have avoided to go, never see the whole.”

Dr. Cheng said, “This is the rule, you can’t steal a lesson without worshipping a teacher, we can’t break the rule just because it’s a special situation today.”

Wei Ruo said, “It can be seen that all of you gentlemen are people with a correct heart, this set of my acupuncture method is to teach you to be able to benefit more people, there is nothing wrong with it. What’s more, this is an extraordinary time, nowadays, if one more person knows this method, many more people will be able to save their lives, how can I care about my own interests?”

This set of stitches was just one of the multiple sets of stitches Wei Ruo had mastered, and Wei Ruo didn’t care about having less of this set.

And when her master taught her back then, he said that good medical skills were meant to benefit others, and as long as they were taught with people who had a positive medical heart, they didn’t have to stick to being peers or rivals.

Wei Ruo’s words made the remaining five doctors not know what to say, surprise, excitement and gratitude were all written on the faces of several doctors.

Finally, it was the oldest doctor, Dr. Cheng, who spoke on behalf of everyone: “Duke Xu is very righteous, we accept this favor.”

At this moment, there is no need to say anything more, the only thing to do is to learn well and then go to save more people to be worthy of this trust that little Mr. Xu has placed in them.

Wei Ruo nodded, then took out a pen and paper and skillfully drew a diagram of the human body’s acupuncture points.

Afterwards, he circled the acupuncture points on the chart in the order in which the needles were placed, and explained to several people the intention of placing needles in no place.

A few people listened attentively, occasionally revealing a look of amazement, lamenting the subtlety of this set of stitches.

Originally, they only knew that this set of needles together with the prescription they had discussed together had an effect on the patients, but today, after listening to Little Duke Xu’s explanation, they truly felt the mystery of this and the superiority of Little Duke Xu’s medical skills.

After Wei Ruo finished his explanation, he asked the crowd, “Are there any more questions?”

All of them shook their heads to indicate that there were no more questions.

Xu Gongzi has explained to them in great detail, they are all basic to understand the medical profession, to have a problem may only be a time can not immediately memorize all the problems, the need to copy down the drawings to watch over and over again.

“Let’s get started then, time waits for no one.” Wei Ruo said.

The crowd nodded.

After that, we split up and went to the homes of the registered patients according to the divided areas to provide treatment for the patients.

It has also been proposed that these patients be organized in one place for easier control and treatment.

But now the weather conditions, the road is snowy and frozen, the transfer of patients, especially those with serious illnesses is very difficult, not only to worry about the road bumps in the cold so that the patient secondary injuries, but also to worry about the way to lead to more people were infected.

So after deliberation, or Wei Ruo and the doctors work harder, try to go to these homes to give treatment. If the disease is mild, let the family members come to the government office to get medicine to go back to take.
