“What did you eat before you got sick?” Hai Guanchao asked the patient sitting in front of him.
This patient’s complexion was sallow, his limbs were not fat, but his lower abdomen was bulging, like a five or six month pregnant woman. When you touch it with your palms, you could see that it was not soft inside. He was also weak when speaking, and now he was recalling everything he had eaten.
Because of this disease, he had been visiting major hospitals for two months. Sometimes he got a little better, but he could not recover completely. He didn’t know how many times he had mentioned what he had eaten.
Seeing that the patient was in a low mood, Hai Guanchao said calmly: “It’s just a parasite in the abdomen. I have a prescription for the disease. Just take a few doses and you will be fine.”
“Really?!” This patient had been seeking medical treatment since a long time and had heard of people being diagnosed with parasites in their stomachs, but this was the first time that someone had said with such certainty that it could be cured and that there were symptomatic prescriptions. For a moment, his face suddenly became clear, and he was happy, but also afraid that it was not true.
In fact, this person was introduced by a friend, and he came here with the mentality of giving it a try, so his mood at this time was extremely complicated.
“Yes, but you may have vomiting and diarrhea while expelling the parasite, so you have to be mentally prepared.” Hai Guanchao said.
The patient was in a pleasant surprise. He was so satisfied when he heard that he could be cured. No matter what he had vomiting or diarrhea, he nodded immediately.
“Forget it if you have diarrhea, but if you vomit, it’s so disgusting.” Xie Lingya sitting aside said.
Hai Guanchao took the medicine and gave it to the patient and sent him away. Then he had time to talk to Xie Lingya and shook his head, “Actually, he can only vomit up but not down. I lied to him because I was afraid that he would vomit it out at the beginning and he might be too scared.”
Xie Lingya: “…”
Did that mean the parasite would definitely come out of his mouth? Too disgusting!
Hai Guanchao explained: “This is called dragon-biting disease. Ancient doctors believed that dragons roamed the world and the dragon essence was sprinkled on the dishes. And when people ate the dishes, little dragons would be born in their stomachs. If the little dragons cause trouble in the belly, they must use cold food and sugar to induce vomiting. In fact, it was a parasite that could not be identified at the time. When people eat food and do not deal with it properly, unfortunately, there are parasites on them, which can make them sick.”
There were many types of parasites, especially in some remote areas and water bodies. Sometimes hospitals could not diagnose and treat them, and they would not heal on their own, and could thus last for several years. It didn’t matter if they grew in the stomach, but some of them even grew in the brain, which was very miserable and required a craniotomy to heal.
After hearing this, Xie Lingya said: “What on earth did that dragon do on the vegetable field? It can still produce parasites. If there are other animals, it’s just…”
Hai Guanchao: “…”
Hai Guanchao: “Mr. Xie, why do have to do it? You must be a serious person, this is just a story.”
Xie Lingya said honestly, “Oh.”
Hai Guanchao added, “I’m going to take down the store next to me, but there are not enough people now. I am alone and want to recruit more. I want to decoct the medicine myself. Nowadays, I have to ask the patients to decoct it themselves or go to another store. But sometimes, they are not meticulous enough. Decoction is also related to the curative effect.”
Xie Lingya nodded.
It could be said that Hai Guanchao was indeed the person who once provoked his colleagues to exclude him and leave his hometown. In just a few months in Qiyang, the clinic business was booming. He had cured a lot of difficult and complicated diseases like the one just now, and he seemed to be somewhat famous now. His fame was spread by word of mouth, and many people came here to see him.
No, it needed to be expanded.
“Then let me put up a recruitment notice for you. It’s mainly to help you, right? They don’t have to be a doctor?” Xie Lingya asked.
“My colleagues and I have never gotten along.” Hai Guanchao said calmly.
That’s true. It was a medical knowledge passed down from his family, and it also contained a lot of content that may be a bit controversial nowadays, such as Taisu pulse. So rather than someone who knew a lot, he would rather recruit someone who knew nothing. Anyway, what he would be doing was not technical work, and he had his own way to teach him. If he knew a lot, he would have to be re-taught everything.
….
In the evening, Xie Lingya used his computer to help Hai Guanchao advertise online. Although Hai Guanchao was not much older than him, he probably didn’t know much about the Internet because he spent most of his time on honing his medical skills.
At this time, his cell phone rang. As soon as Xie Lingya saw the caller ID, he immediately took the cell phone to the room to answer the call. “Hello?”
A gentle female voice came from the other end: “Lingya, your father fell and broke his leg. He just came to the hospital. He asked me not to call you. But I think I have to tell you.”
“Broken? Then tell me the ward. I’ll go there now.”
“You’d better come tomorrow, it’s so late.”
“It’s okay, we still have a bus coming there.” Xie Lingya said a few words and then hung up.
The caller was his father’s second wife, Song Jing, and they were colleagues in the same school. They got together when Xie Lingya was in high school. At that time, Xie Lingya had a problem with it and he studied hard because of it. He was originally determined to take the exam for another place. But after that time passed and seeing that his uncle’s attitude was still in favor of it, he figured it out, but his relationship with Song Jing had always been light.
“My dad has a fracture. I’ll go down and take a look.” Xie Lingya said hello to everyone and hurried out. Father Xie worked as a middle school teacher in a town in a county-level city in Qiyang City, and they were used to calling him there.
Now that the Taoist temple no longer needed him to stay all the time, everyone only cared about him and asked him to go quickly otherwise he would be late to catch the bus.
The last bus to town left at half past nine. If he missed it, he would have to take a taxi. Fortunately, Xie Lingya caught it. When he got on the bus, he saw that it was mostly full. So, he found a seat further back and sat down.
