Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 593: The two brothers of your Fang family are like the brothers of Lu Xun's family (Monthly ticket price update)
Fangyan prescribed a prescription including astragalus, codonopsis, cimicifuga, bupleurum, angelica, stir-fried atractylodes, scorpion, bombyx batryticatus, belamcanda chinensis, and white aconite.

There are 10 herbs in total.

The white aconite here is not the same as aconite. It is the dried tuber of the Araceae plant, Unicornia truncatum.

Aconite is the sub-root of Aconitum, a plant of the Ranunculaceae family.

White aconite root: warm in nature, pungent in taste, poisonous, enters the stomach and liver meridians.

The main effects are dispelling wind and phlegm, calming convulsions, detoxifying and relieving pain.

It is often used to treat stroke, phlegm congestion, facial paralysis, slurred speech, convulsions, epilepsy, tetanus, phlegm-induced headache, hemicrania, scrofula, phlegm nodules, venomous snake bites, etc. For example, when treating facial paralysis caused by wind and phlegm blocking the collaterals, white aconite is often used in combination with scorpion, silkworm, etc.

The same is true for the recipe here.

Scorpion can relieve pain, attack toxins and resolve stagnation; Bombyx batryticatus can dispel wind and calm convulsions, resolve phlegm and resolve stagnation; Rhizoma Aconiti Lateralis can dispel wind and phlegm, calm convulsions, resolve toxins and resolve stagnations, and relieve pain, and is often used for symptoms of wind and phlegm blocking the meridians. The combination of the three enhances the effects of calming wind and relieving convulsions, resolving phlegm and unblocking the meridians.

Afterwards, Fang Yan wrote out a prescription and asked Mr. Ye:

“Are you free recently?”

"Well, what do you mean?" Mr. Ye didn't quite understand Fangyan's intention.

Fang Yan said to him:
"If you are too busy recently, you can just come here every day to take medicine. If you are free, you can stay in the hospital. We will take care of you at any time and you don't have to worry about anything."

"Need to be hospitalized?" Old Master Ye frowned slightly.

Fang Yan knew what the old man was thinking, so he said:

"Don't worry. Your hospitalization is not because your condition is serious. It's mainly because the white aconite and scorpion in the prescription I prescribed are poisonous. The dosage must be strictly controlled. Do not take an overdose to avoid poisoning. Our hospital has a specialist who will watch you boil the medicine. This is the safest way."

"In your current condition, I estimate that you will need to stay here for about a week, and you will recover after taking seven doses of medicine."

After hearing the explanation in dialect, Mr. Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mr. Shen said:
"Old Ye, since you have nothing to do right now, why don't you come to the hospital and keep me company?"

Then he spoke to the dialect again:

"Doctor Fang, please arrange for him to be in my ward and add an extra bed."

After hearing this, Mr. Ye said to Fang Yan:
"Are you sure it's only seven days?"

Fangyan nodded:
"Well, it should be almost healed in seven days."

After hearing this, Mr. Ye thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, get me admitted to the hospital!"

But after he finished speaking, he added:
"But don't share a room with him. He snores when he sleeps."

Fangyan and the others couldn't help laughing. In fact, in this kind of intensive care unit, two patients are generally not allowed to stay together.

He nodded and agreed.

Mr. Shen didn't care, as long as his old friend could move in.

Fangyan here asked someone to arrange the hospitalization procedures for Mr. Ye, and also asked the medical staff to prepare and decoct medicine for him.

After reading this, Fangyan remembered the important matter.

The condition of the protagonist, Mr. Shen, has not been examined yet.

But judging from the way he spoke just now, he is no longer coughing.

After asking, Fangyan confirmed his current condition. After taking a dose of medicine, the fever has subsided. The temperature was measured at 36.5 degrees half an hour ago. After lunch, he felt a little hot and irritable, sweating all over and having a dry cough.

I vomited a small amount of sticky white sputum in the afternoon, but after careful observation, I found that there was no blood in the sputum.

Chen Xiaoman, who previously suspected that Fangyan's prescriptions were inaccurate, now changed her tone completely. After Fangyan asked about the patient's condition, she praised Fangyan and said:
"Doctor Fang, the medicine you prescribed was absolutely right. It really worked. The fever went down immediately, and there was no more blood in the sputum."

After saying this, she still felt a little embarrassed. After all, at noon she had questioned the accuracy of the medicine prescribed by Fangyan.

Fang Yan didn't pay much attention to Chen Xiaoman. After saying a few polite words to her, he began to take Mr. Shen's pulse.

At this moment, the pulses in both hands became deep and thin.

The previous pulse condition was deep, fine and rapid.

The change from a deep, thin and rapid pulse to a deep, thin pulse means that the condition of yin deficiency and internal heat in the body has improved and the symptoms of deficiency-heat have been alleviated.

When the heat symptoms are alleviated and the pulse becomes deep and thin, it means that the overall condition is developing in a good direction, but there are still problems of insufficient Qi and blood and weak vital energy.

This change in pulse condition suggests that the treatment plan may need to be adjusted.

The dosage of drugs for clearing heat and nourishing yin can be reduced appropriately, and instead treatments for replenishing qi and blood, and strengthening the body can be strengthened to promote complete recovery of the body.

Then Fangyan checked the old man's tongue coating, which had changed from moist white to white.

The patient originally had chills and fever, accompanied by a moist white tongue coating. Later, the fever subsided and the chills lessened, leaving only mild physical discomfort. The tongue coating turned into a thin white coating, which mostly indicated that the condition was alleviated and the body's vital energy was gradually restored.

"The situation has indeed improved a lot. Now I have to change the recipe I will use tomorrow."

Speaking in dialect, he reduced the amount of scutellaria baicalensis in the previous prescription from 24 grams to 20 grams, and changed the amount of kudzu root from 15 grams to 12 grams. Looking at the records again, he showed symptoms of fever in the five parts of his heart, sweating and dry cough in the afternoon. Fangyan added 8 grams of Schisandra chinensis to astringe sweat, and then added 10 grams of roasted Aster odoratum and 10 grams of Citrus aurantium to astringe the lungs, resolve phlegm and quench thirst.

After writing it, no one questioned him this time. Fang Yan handed the prescription to the medical staff and asked them to boil the medicine for Mr. Shen to drink tomorrow morning according to the prescription.

Seeing that Fangyan had already arranged everything here, Mr. Shen felt that his recovery was just around the corner.

When I went to the hospital for treatment before, the dialect didn’t have such a quick effect.

Mr. Shen felt a sense of security that his life was protected when he saw Fang Yan, so he took the initiative to praise Fang Yan.

It is said that: "The champion is good at writing and his medical skills are even better."

"No wonder those overseas Chinese businessmen come back from thousands of miles away to see you for medical treatment."

At this time, the leaders nearby heard Mr. Shen praising Fangyan, and they nodded one by one, and followed Mr. Shen in praising Fangyan. Only then did Fangyan realize that these were all leading cadres of the Ministry of Culture.

Since last year, the Ministry of Culture has played many important roles.

It is a department with very great power.

They participated in correcting wrongs and adjusting policies. Now we have re-established the policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, created a relaxed environment for cultural creation, encouraged the creation of literary and artistic works of different styles and themes, and laid a policy foundation for the prosperity of cultural undertakings.

For example, the shooting of martial arts films by Beijing Film Studio this year should be the result of their new policy encouragement.

My younger brother was able to start the "Birch Forest" school in the field of literature, thanks to the support of these policies.

In addition, they also provide policy support for the development of cultural relics protection and intangible cultural heritage protection work.

They also have overseas exchange programs, sending art troupes to perform abroad, and holding Chinese cultural exhibitions. These are what they are doing.

For example, the "Imperial Collection of Medical Prescriptions" was able to be borrowed not only because of the efforts of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also because of their efforts.

It can be said that the people around Fangyan, including himself, are more or less related to their department.

After finding out the identities of these leaders, the younger brother became even more nervous.

These people are to him what the Ministry of Health is to dialects.

It is the head department for people in the cultural circle.

As luck would have it, Mr. Shen saw the little brother next to Fang Yan who had been silent and looked a little nervous. Driven by curiosity, he asked Fang Yan casually:
"Doctor Fang, who is this young man following you?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my younger brother Fang Chen. He likes your articles very much, so when he heard that you were hospitalized here, he wanted to come with me to visit you."

Mr. Shen stretched out his hand and said to Fang Chen:

"Hello, young man, thank you for liking my article."

The younger brother hurried forward, shook the old man's hand, and said excitedly:

"Hello, Mr. Shen! My name is Fang Chen, and I also write books."

"You also write books?" Mr. Shen was stunned.

After hearing this, Mr. Ye at the side became even more curious. The brother of the miracle doctor Fang Yan was actually a writer. He asked:
“Are there any representative works?”

Mr. Shen nodded slightly and asked curiously:
"Yes, do you have any representative works?"

Although they are veterans in the field of literature and have been famous for a long time, they are still paying attention to the up-and-coming stars in the market.

They have basically read any author who has published an article, unless the author is not very famous or is really poorly written. Otherwise, they will have an impression of the author if you just mention the title of a book.

Speaking of this, my brother suddenly straightened his back a lot. His representative work is very strong. It was the best-selling work at the end of last year. His works at the beginning of this year are also a sales guarantee for "People's Literature".

He took a deep breath, trying to be as calm as the third brother Fangyan, and then said:

“I wrote ‘Birch Forest’.”

Not only the two old men were startled when they heard this word, but even the leaders of the Ministry of Culture were shocked and turned their eyes to the younger brother.

This made Fang Chen nervous again, luckily his third brother Fang Yan was beside him, looking calm, which made him calm down a lot, otherwise his breathing would have become rapid.

Mr. Shen asked curiously:

"'Birch Forest'... did you write it?"

"Yeah." The little brother nodded.

Mr. Shen emphasized again:

"I'm talking about Birch Forest, written by the writer Hai Chao, which is still being serialized in People's Literature."

"Yes, it's me." The little brother continued to nod.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen and Mr. Ye looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

Ye Shengtao, Master Ye, said directly:

"Wow, your Fang family is incredible! The two brothers are so young, yet each of them is so powerful."

Mr. Shen said:

"That's right. One of you is a top scorer in the college entrance examination and a genius in traditional Chinese medicine. The other is a best-selling novelist. Who would have thought that you two are actually brothers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the bigwigs from the surrounding Ministry of Culture also nodded.

Ye Shengtao said:
"You two remind me of Lu Xun's family."

Mr. Shen was startled, then nodded in agreement:
"You know what, they really look alike..."
