Chapter 690
Before Doctor Ding finished writing the prescription, Henry grabbed the prescription and handed it
to the patient. The speed was much faster than that of Doctor Ding.
On the side, the young male doctor saw what Henry did behind Dr. Ding. He couldn''t help but ask
Lewis, "Master Lewis, who is this person?"
With a smile on his face, Lewis said, "You should keep him in mind. If you work in the field of
traditional Chinese medicine for the rest of your life, treat him as the milestone of your life."
When Lewis said this, his eyes were full of admiration.
"A milestone..." The young male doctor murmured these two words.
At the consultation desk, Dr. Ding took another look at Henry.
"Doctor Ding, you are a little tired. Let me do it." Henry gently patted Doctor Ding''s shoulder.
"You?" Dr. Ding looked at Henry suspiciously. The patient just now had a verymon disease. At
the beginning of the consultation, she could see it at a nce and quickly give the prescription, but
now she had been sitting here for a few hours, and she was too tired both physically and mentally.
Henry did not answer Dr. Ding. Instead, he said to the patient in the line in front of him, "Next."
The next patient was a middle-aged man. He was thin and his face was yellow. He covered his
stomach with his hand and said in a weak voice, "Doctor, I haven''t had a good meal for half a
month. Some time ago, I had a stomach problem and some constipation. So I took some
constipation medicine. As a result, my stomach began to swell and now I can''t eat any food. I took a
lot of medicine to help digestion during this period of time, but nothing worked."
Dr. Ding put her hand on the pulse of the patient. A minuteter, she said to the assistant behind
her, " Cassia twig 150 grams, liquorice 100 grams, herbaceous peony 300 grams, twelve jujubes,
and ginger 150 grams."
After that, Dr. Ding said to the patient, "When you go back, cut the ginger into slices, take six liters
of water, cook the medicine, boil it until bes a paste, remove the residues and take it."
After hearing that, the patient nodded.

"Let''s add another kind of medicine." Henry took the medicine from the medicine chest behind him
without looking back. "100 grams of rheum officinale."
"Rheum officinale?" Dr. Ding turned to look at Henry with a frown and said, "My medicine has a
herbaceous peony, and you want to add rheum officinal?! What do you mean?"
"Adding rheum officinale could indeed be harmful, but because of his symptoms, we must add
rheum officinale. Your prescription can cure the warm Yang energy, but it''s less probably that it will
help the patient gain the strength. Add rheum officinale in order to control the sluggishness. The
effect will be better."
"Nonsense!" Dr. Ding shouted angrily, "His disease belongs to the disease of Sr Syndrome.
Because of the wrong medicine, his Yin and Yang were infected, and his spleen and Qi were
stagnant and detained, so that he had abdominal pain and other symptoms!"
Henry shook his head and said, "Doctor Ding, that is why I said that you are too tired today. When
the patient spoke, he had been rubbing his lower abdomen with his hands to relieve the pain. This
means that the pain is not temporary, but constant, right?"
"Yes, yes." The patient nodded repeatedly. "I have been in pain all the time."
"That''s right." Henry nodded. "As for rheum officinale, although it may cause dizziness, nausea, and
retching, it can relieve the pain fast and achieve the effect of fighting poison with poison. It''s the
best choice to add rheum officinale."
Hearing this, Dr. Ding was stunned. She really did not notice the detail of the patient just now. If she
did not add rheum officinale to her prescription, the effect would not be too obvious. Although it
could cure the disease, it would make the patient suffer a few days more.
Why do they practice medicine? It''s nothing more than to relieve the patient''s pain. In the eyes of
doctors, the most important thing is to prevent the patient from suffering.
"Doctor Ding, listen to the magical doctor. You should rest for a while. Thank you for your hard work
today." Lewis came over from the side.
"Magical doctor?" Hearing Lewis''s words, Dr. Ding''s face changed. "Master Yan, you mean he is the
miracle-working doctor who held a lecture in Yinzhou?" "You''re ttering me." Henry smiled. "It''s just
that I read more books."
Dr. Ding, after knew Henry''s identity, looked at him with different eyes. There was admiration in her
eyes. As the most outstanding graduate in this medical field, she heard about the magical doctor in
Yinzhou before. She also wanted to listen to thest lecture, but something happened at home that
made her really unable to make there in time. She always had regrets in her heart. Unexpectedly,
the magical doctor now stood behind her.
Dr. Ding quickly got up and let Henry sit down.
On the other side, when the young Western doctor saw the change in Chinese medicine
practitioners, he sneered and said, "So what? Chinese medicine is still Chinese Medicine. How can
it bepared with Western medicine?"
"Yes!" A European patient in front of the young doctor also said. "Our Western medicine is the best.
What is traditional Chinese medicine? If Dr. Lance was not here today, I wouldn''t have known that
traditional Chinese medicine even exists."
Dr. Lance was the young European doctor in front of him.
Dr. Lances and the European patient''s words immediately drew a burst ofughter. Although this
was Hospital of Chinese Medicine, it was still in Europe, and there were more Western people.
Obviously, there was a difference in the cultures. Everyone hoped that their own side had more
advantages. This kind of thinking was no exception all over the world.
Henry ignored theughter. After sitting down, he said to the patient in front of him, "Next."
When the patient sat down in front of Henry, he took the initiative to reach out his hand to let Henry
feel the pulse. This patient had seen it clearly from the back. All the doctors of Chinese Medicine
needed to feel the pulse when they saw a patient.
However, Henry did not feel the patient''s pulse but said, "The way of practising traditional Chinese
medicine is broad and profound, but everything is connected. In the textbook, there is a way of
checking the illness by observing. The so- called "observing" is divided into five main parts of the
general observing, local observing, tongue observing, observing the excreta, and observing
fingerprints. Among them, the general observing mainly depends on observing the spirit, colour,
shape..."
Before Henry could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst ofughter.
"Ridiculous! It''s really ridiculous! Checking the patients like this? Chinese Medicine is really a thing
to fool people. You don''t even ask about the symptoms of the patient, but just look at him. What can
you tell? You, Chinese people, are really good at talking big!"
The owner of theughter was Dr. Lance, who was not far from Henry.
Some western patients also had smiles on their faces, which were full of contempt.
The young Chinese male doctor who asked Lewis and others toe here before looked a little
bad at the moment. He had certainly heard of the observing technique mentioned by Henry. This
was the most basic thing in the textbook of traditional Chinese medicine. But after learning for a
long time, this technique was not used. Some small diseases that could be detected did not need to
be treated at all. And some serious diagnosis were also not what could be seen only by looking at
the patient.
