Chapter 76(2/2)
When she saw the medical sage, he was diagnosing an old man in a dilapidated hut. Huang Yueying did not disturb him, but just waited silently with Huang Jun and Gan Ning.
Zhang Zhongjing was highly praised by both his current generation and later generations, firstly for his medical skills and secondly for his moral character.
If anyone really knew this gentleman, he would be one of them.
Huang Yueying, the same is true.
"Pain in the limbs and joints, especially the knees and ankles, difficulty in flexion and extension, intangible pain, fever and sweating, thirst and upset, yellow and greasy tongue coating, slippery and rapid pulse." Zhang Zhongjing felt the patient's pulse and also felt it.
His beard, and then retracted his hand, "This is heat paralysis."
Huang Yueying thought about it for a while and probably understood. What she was talking about was that this patient suffered from knee and ankle pain, and difficulty in flexion and extension. The pain was so severe that she could not touch it. She also had fever, sweating, thirst, and upset. In Chinese medicine,
, called "heat numbness", which is a type of numbness.
"Sir, what is the best way to go?" asked a young man next to him.
"What direction does Ah Ren think is appropriate?" Zhang Zhongjing looked at the young man beside him with a smile and asked.
"It is advisable to clear away heat and unblock meridians, dispel wind and dispel dampness." A young man named A Ren thought for a while and said.
"Yes, then where?"
"Add or subtract Fangji, Almond, Forsythia, Pinellia ternata, Silkworm sand, Gardenia?"
Listening to the young man's answer, Huang Yueying quickly searched for a similar recipe in her mind, named Yibi Decoction, and added a few medicines, which was indeed effective against heat numbness.
"How many doses of medicine are needed?" Zhang Zhongjing asked again.
The young man thought for a while, "If Mr. Liu is so powerful, he may need to take medicine for more than a month..."
"How much does it cost?"
"If you use it for one month, it will cost about a thousand dollars."
"Does Mr. Liu have so much money and food in his family?"
The young man shook his head and looked at the shabby house with only four walls. He thought about it... This patient didn't have more than a thousand dollars.
"Then what should we do?" Zhang Zhongjing was persuasive.
"I don't know." The young man lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.
Zhang Zhongjing sighed slightly and smiled, "It doesn't matter, Ah Ren's time to study medicine is still short, so there is no rush now."
"Thank you sir." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, "Then... sir, what do you think is appropriate?"
"Guizhi, peony, licorice, ephedra, ginger, atractylodes, anemarrhena, saposhnikovia, aconite, or it can be called Guizhi, peony and anemarrhena decoction." Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while and said.
The young man thought for a while, "This recipe contains ephedra and aconite soup, peony, licorice and aconite soup, licorice and aconite soup, cinnamon twig and aconite soup... is it so complicated?"
"Drink and then read." Zhang Zhongjing smiled, picked up the pen and wrote out the prescription, but the paper he used was also Chu paper.
Seeing this, Huang Yueying was a little relieved.
The young man named A Ren took the prescription, found the medicines in the big bamboo basket by the door, and then went to boil the medicine for Mr. Liu.
