Chapter 551 Filial Piety
It doesn’t matter whether you die early or late, so you might as well give it a try.
Apparently the man thought so too.
He didn't think about it for too long and nodded quickly: "Okay, you can give me the injection, little genius doctor."
"No rush. Take off all his clothes first, including his underwear, and then have him lie on the bed. Daqian, you disinfect this patient." Jiang Fubao turned around and went out, instructing his apprentice to apply iodine to the patient.
It was she who popularized the word "disinfection".
Only people in our own clinic can understand it.
When the man heard it, he thought it was the name of a medicinal herb.
"Take off all your clothes? But you are a woman, little doctor..." The man did not move. His facial features were wrinkled and he was hesitant.
He was halfway through his speech when Jiang Fubao interrupted him.
"Doctors don't care about gender. If I cared about these things, I would never open a clinic." Jiang Fubao shifted his firm gaze and went to the backyard to wash his hands.
When he came back, the man's father was already lying on the bed.
Jiang Fubao's expression did not change. She picked up the long needle, walked behind the screen, and started inserting needles.
"Hmm--" The old man should still be able to feel the area above his neck, for when the needle was inserted, a faint whimper came from his throat.
Jiang Fubao seemed not to have heard it and was not affected at all.
Nearly quarter of an hour.
The long needle finally came out from the sole of the old man's foot.
The silver needles, which were as long as two people, "tied" the old man into a knot.
The man and the two servants who were watching on the side were so frightened that their lips were trembling.
How many people have ever seen this kind of acupuncture?
It hurts to look at it.
Jiang Fubao was already sweating profusely.
It was her first time using a long needle, so she had to be extremely careful and focused the entire time, fearing that she would make a mistake.
Once you get more familiar with each other, it won’t take so long.
It is laborious to insert the needle, and even more so to remove it with caution.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
The slender silver needle finally came out of the old man's body.
There wasn't even a drop of blood on it, and the silver needle was still so smooth and pure, emitting a cold glow that made people feel scared.
Since Jiang Fubao said to follow the meridians, we will definitely not go the wrong way.
"Master, the old man's hand, his hand, actually moved!!" The servant who was helping the old man put on his clothes suddenly screamed.
"What?" The man looked down immediately after hearing this.
He saw his father's fingers trembling up and down as he heard voices coming from the alley outside.
Like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings.
"Little miracle doctor, what's wrong with my father?" The man widened his eyes and turned to ask Jiang Fubao.
"Oh, that's normal. He will gradually regain feeling in his body, first his hands, then his feet. Then his mind will start to become clearer, not as confused as before. After two more injections, I will use short needles to stimulate his paralyzed tongue. He will be able to walk in March at the earliest, and a year or two at the latest."
Jiang Fubao just lowered his head, glanced at him, and then looked away.
After she wiped the silver needle, she carefully put it back into the wooden box.
"You really are worthy of being a miracle doctor. Just one injection made my father's condition improve. I really came to the right place this time, little miracle doctor. I wonder when you will give me acupuncture next time?" The man bowed to Jiang Fubao again.
His eyes were full of gratitude.
"Come again in half a month, and the third time will be after a month." Jiang Fubao felt a little dry in the mouth after sweating so much. She gulped down the tea that Lu'er poured for her before she spoke.
"Okay, I've got it. Now, do you want to write a prescription for my father?" The man said again when he saw that his father's clothes had been put on.
"No need to take medicine, just go home. Just remember to come on time in half a month." Jiang Fubao handed the teacup in his hand to Lu'er and asked her to pour another cup.
"Okay, little doctor, how much is the fee for this consultation?" The man took out his purse, opened it, and pretended to take out the money.
"Fifty cents will be enough." Jiang Fubao said casually.
"What? Fifty cents?" The man was really shocked by the medical fee.
I have seen so many doctors before, and each time I spent at least four or five taels of silver.
"Yeah." Jiang Fubao nodded.
The man in front of her was very filial. He brought his father from afar to get treatment. When she was giving him acupuncture just now, she found that the old man's body was clean.
You know, paralyzed people always have a bad smell on their bodies. After all, they cannot control their feces and urine. If they are not cleaned in time, you can smell the smell from their bodies from a long distance away.
If you get bedsores, you're not far from death.
However, the old man had nothing on his body, only his limbs were atrophied.
This is enough to prove that he is well taken care of by his family.
Jiang Fubao only charged a symbolic amount of money to such people.
It doesn't cost anything, just something she can do with her own hands.
Besides, this was her first time using a long needle, and the old man was her guinea pig.
This time the man came with a purse of silver. Worried that it was not enough, he even put a silver note worth one hundred taels in his arms.
Who would have thought that Jiang Fubao would only take fifty coins? He didn't have any copper coins in his purse. The smallest change was half an ounce.
"Thank you so much, little doctor. I don't have fifty cents. This half a tael of silver is the smallest thing I have. How about you take it first and treat it as my advance payment for the next consultation?"
The man was very tactful. He knew that if he gave it directly, Jiang Fubao might not accept it, so he simply thought of an excuse.
It's just half a tael of silver. Jiang Fubao's drawer is full of copper coins, so he can definitely make the change. It's not a hundred taels.
"Okay, then I'll put it in the account for you." Jiang Fubao picked up the pen, scribbled a line of words on the paper, and quickly put down the brush.
Because the ink is half dry, the characters still have rough edges.
After the man took his father and servants away.
Two more patients came to the clinic, both with minor illnesses and pains, and they were cured by just getting a prescription and some medicine.
"Little doctor, it's still early. I'm going to take my father back first. No one in my family likes to drink this can of tea. It would be a pity to throw it away. Little doctor, please don't despise it. Take it to quench your thirst. See you next time."
As it was getting close to dinner time, the man who had been away for a long time came back.
He put a can of tea on the table and ran away after saying that. Jiang Fubao asked Shitou to chase him, but he failed. After leaving the clinic, he jumped on a carriage and drove out of the city.
"Oh, miss, this can of tea is not cheap." The cook who came over with lunch from the backyard looked at the white porcelain jar of tea and saw the red paper wrapped on it with the words "Yan Family" written on it. She exclaimed.
"You know?" Jiang Fubao asked.
"Well, last time I went shopping with the Second Miss, the tea in the clinic had just run out, so the Miss went to the Yan family shop to ask the price. I saw this can of tea, which was placed at the highest point. The Second Miss asked the shopkeeper how much it was for, and the shopkeeper immediately said fifty taels. Oh my God, fifty taels for a small can of tea, that's gold."
The maid bared her teeth, and her mouth became square because she was so shocked.
"This guy is quite good at dealing with people. He was afraid that we would not accept it, so he deliberately devalued the tea. I actually thought he brought it from home. It turns out he bought it specially. Fifty taels, he is really generous." Pan Erya shook her head and sighed.
"Well, since he insists on giving it to me, I'll take it. I want to taste what this fifty taels of tea leaves taste like. Lu'er, take it and make some tea."
