Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 898 I'll compensate you with a good set of needles; the scientists recommended by Jiao Shude (Bonus chapter for monthly votes: 3 chapters)

On the way to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fang Yan, Lao Liu, and others discussed the situation for the day.

The meeting included confidentiality requirements, and questions about the working methods that Lao Fan, Zhang Yanchang, and Yang Jingxiang were suited for. Class teacher Liu Duzhou understood after hearing this.

Lei Lian was the only one who was here for the first time and didn't know anything. After listening to the explanation once, she still had many questions.

Fang Yan asked Yang Jingxiang for help.

Lei Lian comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Shaanxi. She followed her grandfather in practicing medicine for many years, but she never worked in a large, established hospital. She was more like a traveling doctor.

She mostly uses folk remedies; I saw many of them at her home during the last dialect discussion.

It gives me a sense of déjà vu, like when I read the folk remedies collected by Zhu Liangchun.

Most people wouldn't be able to imitate the treatment methods shown in the film; just watching it would make them question the meaning of life.

Just like the secret recipe of the slovenly doctor Chen Zhao, even if it was handed over to the state, the higher-ups couldn't promote it.

When Fang Yan and the others arrived at the hospital, they found He Puren already waiting downstairs.

"When did you arrive?" Fang Yan asked.

"I just arrived a little while ago," He Puren said.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Fang Yan asked.

"I ate it," He Puren said with a smile.

Judging from the dialect, he probably hadn't eaten, but he didn't say anything and simply introduced He Puren to everyone.

Everyone here is a shareholder except for Lei Lian, who is not a shareholder.

Upon hearing that he was one of their own, and had just returned from Africa, everyone was filled with awe and respect. He was a hero who had gone abroad to promote traditional Chinese medicine and engage in acupuncture diplomacy for the country!
Liu Duzhou thought for a moment and remembered who He Puren was.

I never expected that dialect would actually bring this acupuncture expert into the group.

Next, everyone went upstairs together to check the rooms.

Today, Ms. Lü from the eldest branch of the Huo family is much better now. Her various physiological levels are starting to approach those of a normal person, and she slept soundly through the night without having any dreams last night.

She hadn't slept so soundly in years. This morning, in her excitement, she asked Representative Huo to distribute red envelopes to the medical staff today, hoping to share in the good fortune.

This completely baffled He Puren, Lao Liu, and Lei Lian, who were encountering this kind of thing for the first time.

I never imagined that hospitals could be so extravagant.

Lei Lian, in particular, who worked as an itinerant doctor, was greatly impacted.

No wonder everyone is so eager to follow Brother Fang; he earned enough for two semesters' worth of living expenses in just one morning.

The key point is that nothing was done!
She was just a passerby watching.

While some said they were just sharing in the joy, Lei Lian is now genuinely feeling the joy.

The main reason was that she was with Fang Yan and received special care from Representative Huo.

The red envelope was thicker than others'.

Old He was speechless. After working for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

As for the academic-style class teacher, Lao Liu, he discovered the advantages of the "quack doctor" this morning...

Fang Yan led everyone to check all the rooms here, and then Lao Fan started acupuncture to aid his recovery. He Puren was very interested in Lao Fan and wanted to see how Taoist acupuncture was used, so Fang Yan arranged for them to wait here while he went to the Yanjing Hotel alone.

Before leaving, Fang Yan instructed Zhang Yanchang to go to the canteen and get He Puren a breakfast.

Zhang Yanchang understood immediately and went to take care of the matter.

"I'll be back before nine o'clock," Fang Yan told them before leaving for the Yanjing Hotel.

Although everyone was curious about what Fang Yan was doing, they also knew that if Fang Yan didn't say something, then it wasn't something they should ask.

Fang Yan went downstairs to get his car and then arrived at the Yanjing Hotel. This time, he arrived at Building A, where Ma Youxin's assistant was already waiting for him downstairs.

"Mr. Fang, this way please!" she invited Fang Yan.

Then the two of them got on the elevator together.

Then the assistant began reporting in dialect:

"We have moved you to a slightly smaller room, as requested, now in a standard suite on the eighth floor."

"A suite?" Fang Yan frowned slightly.

The assistant said somewhat awkwardly:
"Yes, although it's a suite, it's much smaller than the ones upstairs."

"We also need to consider privacy. After looking around, the suite on the eighth floor is the most suitable."

"Oh..." Fang Yan remained noncommittal.

Then asked:

"How is Miss Ma doing now?"

The assistant said:

"After taking your medicine, I went to bed early last night and woke up at four o'clock this morning. I went to the toilet twice, and it seems that my stomach is not feeling well."

Dialect follow-up question:

"And what about the spiritual aspect?"

The assistant thought for a moment and said:
"Mental state... From my observation, everything is normal, she is well-organized, can recognize people, and will take the initiative to talk to us. Especially after the room was adjusted, she seemed to be much more relaxed."

"Ding-dong." The elevator doors opened at that moment.

The assistant turned to the side and made an inviting gesture:

"Mr. Fang, please."

"Okay." Fang Yan stepped out of the elevator first.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Ma Youxin in the corridor.

"Good morning, Mr. Ma," Fang Yan greeted him.

Ma Youxin quickly nodded in response to the dialect, smiling as he replied:

"Hello, Dr. Fang!"

Fang Yan asked him:
"How is Miss Ma doing now?"

Ma Youxin said:
"Thanks to you! I feel much better now."

Fang Yan pointed to the eighth floor and asked:
"Are you the only family on this floor?"

"Mm." Ma Youxin nodded.

I'm speechless about dialects; they really are a matter of privacy.

Upon opening the door and entering the room, Fang Yan saw a small suite. The front living room had been converted into the bodyguard's assistant's room, which was quite small. Passing through the assistant's room led to the main hall, which wasn't large either. It could be used for receiving guests and was even more private than the previous place. It was almost impossible to hear anything from the doorway.

Then there are two doors in the main hall, one leading to the master bedroom and the other to the secondary bedroom, both of which have their own bathrooms.

Ma Wenying lived in the second bedroom. After entering, Fang Yan found that the room was indeed not very big. There was a bed, a desk, and a coffee table by the window. The room was decorated in a Chinese style, which could barely meet his requirements.

Ma Wenying was in much better shape today. She was even wearing a hat to cover her bald head, and she greeted Fang Yan proactively upon seeing him.
"Doctor, you've arrived!"

"Good morning, Miss Ma!" Fang Yan greeted her.

Then he asked:

"I heard you took yesterday's medicine and your stomach is a little upset, is that right?"

Ma Wenying said:
"A little bit, but I think it's my own problem. It's probably because I haven't eaten for a long time, so my stomach is a bit sensitive," Fang Yan said.

"It's okay, I can make some adjustments."

Then, in a dialect, he said to her:
"Stick your tongue out so I can see it."

"Take my pulse with your hand."

Ma Wenying obediently did as she was told.

"How is the doctor?" Ma Youxin asked from the side.

Currently, Ma Wenying's pulse is mainly wiry and thready. The original wiry, slippery, and rapid pulse indicates that the liver stagnation and fire with phlegm have been alleviated. The wiry pulse indicates that the qi stagnation has not been completely resolved, while the thready pulse indicates that the yin and blood have not been restored.

After treatment with the Thirteen Ghost Needles and Bupleurum and Dragon Bone Oyster Shell Decoction, the phlegm and fire were released, but the liver stagnation was not completely eliminated, and long-term emotional depression led to the depletion of liver blood.

Her right Guan pulse was slow and weak. The "Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber" states: "A weak and slow pulse indicates spleen deficiency."

Yesterday, after taking a purgative containing rhubarb and chlorite, she experienced stomach discomfort, indicating damage to her spleen and stomach.

The pulse at the right Guan position, which is associated with the spleen and stomach, is slow and weak, indicating that the digestive function of the middle jiao (middle burner) has not yet recovered.

The essence is that "although the pent-up fire has been released, the liver body is not yet supple."

"The liver is a rigid organ, which cannot be overcome without gentleness." Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the use of liver-nourishing and blood-nourishing herbs such as white peony root and angelica root, along with environmental adjustments, in order to consolidate the therapeutic effect.

“There’s a minor issue. I’ll modify the prescription. Reduce the amount of rhubarb to 3g and add 12g of stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala and 15g of Dioscorea opposita to protect the spleen and stomach.”

This prescription is actually modeled after the "Zisheng Tang" formula of Zhang Xichun, the precious advisor, which both strengthens the spleen and prevents yin deficiency from harming the stomach.

After making the changes, Fang Yan took out the Tiangong Needle again.

He said to Ma Wenying:
"Miss Ma, I'll give you two more acupuncture needles to help your digestive system recover."

Ma Wenying nodded in agreement.

Fang Yan plans to use the tonifying method to acupuncture the Zusanli acupoint, and then use the even tonifying and reducing method to acupuncture the Gongsun acupoint. The purpose is to strengthen the function of the spleen, stomach and other middle jiao organs and make them function normally. This adopts the traditional Chinese medicine theory principle of "treating flaccidity by selecting Yangming" (specifically selecting Yangming meridian acupoints for treating flaccidity), in order to promote the recovery of normal digestive and absorptive functions of the stomach and intestines.

I also wanted to test Miss Ma to see if she could break the needle for him.

This time, the dialect used the newly repaired Tiangong Needle by He Puren yesterday.

As the needle was slowly inserted, two hissing sounds rang out, and the Heavenly Craft Needle successfully obtained the Qi.

While inserting the needle, he observed the changes in the jade on the needle.

At this moment, Ma Youxin, who was standing to the side, said:
"By the way, Dr. Fang, I'm so sorry I broke your needles yesterday. I've had someone collect a set of silver needles from Haojiang and have them brought over. They should arrive tomorrow."

Fang Yan didn't expect Ma Youxin to be so particular. Even though he had said it was none of his business, he still insisted on sending it.

Since they're going to send it, Fang Yan has no reason to refuse.

He said to Ma Youxin:
"Mr. Ma, you're very kind."

Ma Youxin said with a smile:

"Dr. Fang's medical skills are superb, so we must use the right needles. If we use them and damage them, it would be a huge sin not to compensate us."

"Oh, Mr. Ma, you're too kind."

When Fang Yan finished his needlework, he didn't notice any cracks in the jade and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yan glanced at his watch and said:

"Leave the needles in for twenty minutes. Miss Ma, please rest for now. I will come in to remove the needles in a bit."

Ma Wenying nodded.

Fang Yan said this as he and Ma Youxin went out together.

I chatted with Ma Youxin for a while, and he explained that he would be returning to Haojiang this weekend and would probably be back in about a month.

I would like to ask Fang Yan to take good care of Ma Wenying again.

The dialect means that one will definitely do one's best.

Of course, Ma Youxin also needs to cooperate in Haojiang; otherwise, if his family comes looking for him and insists on taking him back for a marriage alliance, Fang Yan won't be able to do anything about it.

Ma Youxin said he would definitely.

Twenty minutes passed quickly. Fang Yan returned to his room to retrieve the needles. After confirming that the needles were intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. After his conversation with He Puren yesterday, he now had a new understanding of this "pathogenic qi" thing.

I still hope the needle in my hand can block it.

After putting away the needles, Fang Yan said goodbye to the Ma siblings, then went downstairs and drove back to Xiehe Hospital.

When they arrived at the entrance of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fang Yan saw a group of people gathered in the parking lot in front.

And there was a familiar face among them.

Dean, Minister of Health.

In addition, the Americans said that Chairman Mao's money was equivalent to that of five divisions, and he was also among them.

Fang Yan glanced at the time; it was only 8:40.

Upon seeing the Mercedes approaching, several men, clearly plainclothes guards, blocked its path.

After the dean saw this, he spoke to them, and everyone lowered their guard.

After Fang Yan got off the bus, Chairman Qian greeted him with a smile:

"Dr. Fang, we meet again!"

"Hello, Chairman Qian!" Fang Yan replied.

Then he glanced at the people around him; there were several of them, and they all looked familiar.

Fang Yan was secretly alarmed; several of these high-ranking defense officials who were still living in anonymity had come this time.

"You two know each other?" the Vice Minister of Health asked curiously.

"We met before," Chairman Qian said with a smile.

Then he introduced the dialect to the others:

"This is Dr. Fang Yan, a top student of Dr. Jiao Shude."

Then Director Qian smiled at Fang Yan and said:

"Dr. Fang, we were introduced by your master today, so please take a good look at us!"

Fang Yan suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Why did this group of people come looking for us?"

It turned out that it was my mentor from the Central Health Care Medical Group who introduced me to him.

Fang Yan said to them:

"Please come to the consultation room, everyone."

At this moment, the dean said:
"Don't go to the clinic today, come to my office."

Fang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and nodded, saying:

"Alright, please make your move. I'll go prepare and be right there."

PS: This chapter has 3,600 words. After finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 19000 words.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow.

Lao Feng is working hard to write tomorrow's code.
