Lu Jiu carefully looked at the Chinese dicine in the picture.
June Snow, Big Blood Vine, ginseng, Chinese yam, baked licorice, Polygala, Anemarrhena, Silver Bupleurum Root, ephedra root, blighted wheat, Wheat Fruit, Atractylodes, Bupleurum Root, Astragalus, Chinese yam, White Poria... blast-fried ginger, Baical Skullcap, White-headed Wren, calcined dragon bone, Prince Ginseng, Light Bamboo Leaf.
What the hell is this?
The whole prescription left Lu Jiu dumbfounded.
Is this a fill-in-the-blanks exercise?
Just stuffing any dicine in?
Lu Jiu’s sharp eyes noticed that this person prescribed Chinese yam twice, he had reason to suspect that the doctor was picking herbs on the computer with his eyes closed.
Lu Jiu scrolled the mouse and focused his gaze on the replies below.
"Throw it into the river."
"I’d love to hear how this doctor did the diagnosis, his prescription is simply challenging my decade of traditional Chinese dicine foundation."
"How much did you spend?"
"Are you sure they are a chief physician at the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital? Deficiency disease, yet blood not nourishing the liver? Deficiency disease, prescribing this dicine? Blood not nourishing the liver, and this is the coordination of the dicine? Have they no bottom line? Who will be their teacher or ntor in the future, amazing, really amazing! Doing it this way, who would dare to trust Chinese dicine, who would dare to drink Chinese dicinal soups? How many people’s children will such a Chinese dicine doctor misguide in the future."
"I suggest you stuff this dicine into his mouth."
"I even thought it was a prescription from a Western doctor, checked it out, and it turns out they graduated from Shangjing University of Chinese dicine!"
"They don’t even want face!!"
"Too ruthless, spleen-strengthening dicine, kidney-tonifying dicine, heat-clearing dicine, exterior-releasing dicine, anti-sweating dicine, Qi-mobilizing dicine, Qi-breaking dicine, heat-clearing deficiency-eliminating dicine, heat-clearing damp-drying dicine, heat-clearing detoxifying dicine, etc., basically used every possible thing, truly otherworldly people in the magic city!"
"More than forty kinds of Chinese dicine, like over forty little people, with different properties and flavors, taken together, the five viscera beco a chaotic ss, and the person in charge is already weak, the side effects seem to be greater than the benefits."
"This is no longer firing blindly, it’s practically using a Gatling gun to sweep."
"..."
"If it’s effective after taking, everyone should shut up, Sun Simiao’s Thousand Gold Formula has 64 kinds of big formulas, this is called complex formula treatnt."
"How many prescriptions in Chinese dicine have more than forty ingredients? Are there still people defending such scum?"
"Sun Simiao’s ’Essential Prescriptions for Ergencies Worth a Thousand Gold’ has a 64-ingredient prescription, and many modern-day famous Chinese dicine masters also prescribe over forty-ingredient paste formulas!"
"Is he worthy to be compared to the dicine King? The real deal had excellent dical skills and skillfully mastered the properties of all Chinese herbs. Co, tell about the monarch minister assistant envoy in this prescription!"
"If it’s effective after taking it, that’s enough, entangling in these details is aningless."
"Well, the person taking the dicine isn’t you, of course you’re not entangled. What if they beco ill from it?"
"There’s no use arguing too much, I don’t like disputes, just can’t stand you guys talking about an elderly Chinese doctor ignorantly, the developnt of Chinese dicine is hindered by such infighting frequently happening."
"Bullshit, the developnt of Chinese dicine is hindered because there are too many liars holding high positions, stop waving that big banner with ."
"Keep it civil, let’s focus on the prescription, don’t blow things out of proportion, both of you calm down."
"..."
An argunt broke out again.
Lu Jiu had seen plenty of such bickering in the dical circles.
With Chinese dicine treatnts lacking standardization, the sa symptom can have various solutions, and it’s not necessarily a matter of right or wrong, but everyone agrees on one common standard.
That is, for the sa symptom, whoever’s prescription is simpler, and uses common herbs, that represents superior dical skill.
Thus, Chinese dicine is a very magical profession; it inherently cos with an ethic. If you want to learn well and beco a master-level Chinese doctor, the most important thing is not talent but dical ethics.
Without ethics, prescribing an extra or missing herb for a patient doesn’t matter, and in that way, one can never grasp the essence of using herbs, naturally unable to raise one’s dical skills to the extre.
However, ethics seem to have beco rare in today’s economic society, and not seeking money can make you seem like a freak.
Chinese dicine thus becos that freak, battered by wild fists for nearly a century, yet still clinging to life.
"Poster, please take a picture of your tongue, preferably in natural daylight."
While everyone was arguing, Lu Jiu had already started doing serious work.
Instead of getting tangled up with that prescription, it’s better to help the poster solve their problem.
After Lu Jiu finished his post, about ten minutes later, a ssage popped up in the background. Lu Jiu clicked to see, and sure enough, it was a ssage from the poster nad "Rustic Fish Balls."
"[Image][Image] It’s just right, I took a few pictures this morning, do they look okay to you?"
Lu Jiu carefully examined the two tongue photos he took.
Although Chinese dicine emphasizes the four diagnostic thods, under certain circumstances, using one or two can also be feasible.
But this requires extensive experience and the patient must accurately describe their feelings to avoid errors.
Lu Jiu has a solid foundation and a year or two of clinical experience in hospitals, allowing him to diagnose quite a few illnesses.
Of course, he has also been at a loss with many difficult diseases.
The tongue is thin and long with a slightly red tip, the fur is white and greasy with slight cracks and peeling, seemingly indicating Qi and Yin deficiency, coupled with liver depression.
However, considering the patient’s own description of profuse night sweats, fatigue, and soft stool, his main symptom was more inclined towards Qi deficiency.
This seems to be due to unhealed liver depression that passed onto the spleen, eventually forming Qi deficiency.
"Did you previously have liver depression?" Lu Jiu imdiately replied to the person.
The response ca almost instantly.
"Yes, yes, previously I was also in the forum, a big shot knew I had liver depression and advised to take so Carefree Pill, I felt better after two days so I stopped taking them."
’Rustic Fish Balls’ knew there were many experts in the forum, and seeing Lu Jiu’s reply, imdiately clicked on the ID and quickly followed.
"Have you been frequently feeling frustrated recently?" Lu Jiu continued to ask.
"It’s all about work, botherso, I get annoyed just thinking about it!" ’Rustic Fish Balls’ replied.
"Seems about right, you probably didn’t recover completely from liver depression, and often getting frustrated with no release led to spleen deficiency and then evolved into Qi deficiency, which is why your appetite isn’t great, and you have diarrhea after eating. I suggest you try taking a Four Harmony Formula, see how it works for you. And you don’t need to toss the dicine you bought; the ginseng, Atractylodes, Poria, and baked licorice in it are the four ingredients of the Four Harmony Formula, just boil them with three bowls of water until it becos one bowl and drink it." Lu Jiu advised.
"Okay, okay, thank you, master, I’ll go brew the dicine right away! /salute." ’Rustic Fish Balls’ responded.
"No worries, it’s just mutual learning, hopefully after taking the dicine, you can give so feedback!" Lu Jiu said.
"Of course!" ’Rustic Fish Balls’ replied.
Lu Jiu closed the thread with a smile.
anwhile, a notification tone rang again in Lu Jiu’s mind.
"Patient Zhang Yu, spleen deficiency recovery progress: 2%, Qi deficiency recovery progress: 80%, symptoms recovery progress over 80%, special reward activated, would you like to claim it?"
