Medical Master

After waiting for about three minutes, the door opened.

Fang Qiu finally got his first patient.

“There are 25 patients. I need to diagnose and get the right medicine and boil the medicine for each patient.”

“It takes an hour to boil the medicine for each person. Although there are 25 pots available, the interval between the two pots is so long. It will take seven or eight hours even if I treat the patient and boil the medicine at the same time.”

“And I also need time for lunch.”

“Then I have to go back to school to change my clothes before going to the practice meeting at 7:00 p. m. There’s not enough time.”

Fang Qiu was thinking to himself.

The first patient had come to the diagnostic desk.

The patient left while she heard that.

Then the second patient entered the room.

Fang Qiu looked at the door. This time, it was a plump woman with yellowish complexion.

“Good morning, ma’am. Please have a seat.”

When the patient sat down, Fang Qiu smiled and nodded. “What seems to be the trouble?” he asked.

“I feel dizzy.”

The woman opened her mouth and said, “I always get dizzy, especially after work.”

“Apart from dizziness, are there any other symptoms, such as nausea, tinnitus or insomnia?” he asked.

“No.” The woman shook her head. “Just dizziness.”

“Well, please open your mouth and let me have a look.” As he watched the patient’s tongue, he began to feel her pulses with both hands.

When he finished, he immediately wrote out the prescription.

“Astragalus membranaceus 60g, cinnamon 10g, red peony root 30g, Ligusticum wallichii 15g, the root of kudzu vine 80g, and date 20g.”

From treating the patient to picking the medicine, Fang Qiu was quite smooth.

In the conference room, several elders couldn’t help but nod while looking at his performance.

“I don’t know if he’s a good doctor or not, but from what I’ve seen so far, this guy is at least very experienced.”

“Yeah, he looks good.”

“It’s really impressive if he could get to that level after only six months of study.”

Then they turned to look at another room.

“He’s not bad, either.”

“Yeah, maybe it’s because he had been learning medicine since he was a kid. He was quite careful. He didn’t rush or slow down.”

“Yeah, nice and steady.”

“Traditional Chinese medicine is all about stability.”

Several elders nodded in agreement.

After seeing the second patient quickly, Fang Qiu immediately got up to take the medicine and then soaked it.

Soon the second patient left. The third came in.

Fang Qiu continued to diagnose.

After diagnosis, he still did the whole process smoothly.

After he soaked the third patient’s medicine in the water, Fang Qiu immediately went to the first pot and added some water to it. He didn’t boil it until the water had covered all the medicine. And he kept it on medium heat.

After he finished, he returned to the desk.

He didn’t get the medicine in the second and third pot and just left them soaked in the water.

The fourth patient came in.

The staff member also came in and took away three prescriptions that Fang Qiu wrote out.

Fang Qiu knew it was a routine check.

After all, this was a one-on-one test. And they took the real patients as the test, so the Chinese Medicine Association needed to take it seriously.

It didn’t matter whether people who took the exam could cure or save patients. They must take the prescriptions out for inspection.

Firstly, they needed to avoid wrong diagnoses and prescriptions.

Secondly, they were afraid that it may cause damage to the patient’s physical and mental health if they used too many drugs.

Fang Qiu continued to see his patients.

After the staff member got the prescriptions, they immediately sent them to the conference room.

The elders didn’t directly check the prescriptions until they were familiar with the three patients’ conditions.

When they looked at the prescriptions carefully, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Impressive.”

“He’s amazing!”

“With such strength, no wonder that he could win the Feeling Pulse Challenge at such a young age.”

“He is quite fast and accurate while writing his prescriptions. Nothing more or less. He is really talented. I think he’s very experienced.”

“Now I’m curious. If it only took him six months, how did this kid get to this point? Even a genius can’t do that.”

As the discussion carried on, these old men grew more and more surprised and curious.

“He can reach this level by learning for six months. Even if he really is a genius, he couldn’t have taught himself how to do it without a teacher. Who could he be to teach such a great student?”

“I’m afraid the boy’s master must be someone who is really powerful.”

“Who will be his master?”

“In my opinion, even with the help of a master, an ordinary student can’t reach this level.”

“That’s right.”

“Yes, with feeling the pulses on both hands and the perfect prescriptions, this boy’s strength is far beyond our expectation.”

While the elders were impressed by Fang Qiu’s capacity, he had seen his sixth patient.

After picking the medicine of the sixth patient and soaking it in a pot, Fang Qiu immediately went to the second pot, filled it with water, covered the medicine in the pot, and boiled it on fire.

Then he immediately moved to the first pot of medicine.

He poured the juice of the pot into a bowl to about 150 to 200 ml. After pouring, he added some warm water and cook it for a second time.

Then he returned to the desk, sat down again, and continued to see his patient.

In the meantime.

“Pitter-patter…” There was the sound of footsteps outside the conference room.

One of the staff walked into the conference room with three prescriptions.

“Whose prescriptions are these?” an old man asked as soon as he entered the room.

“They’re from Fang Qiu,” the staff member replied.

“So soon?” Although they had been watching Fang Qiu’s performance through the monitor, they didn’t expect that he could be so fast.

Besides, Yu Ziyuan, the disciple of the famous doctor Lu Chen, hadn’t finished his first round of prescriptions.

But Fang Qiu had already written out six prescriptions.

There was no doubt that Fang Qiu had already beaten Yu Ziyuan in terms of speed.

However, this was an examination that contained 25 patients in it. He just saw six patients. Although Fang Qiu was fast and made perfect prescriptions in the first round, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t make a mistake later.

As for the elders, if you did it quickly, you might make a mistake. But if you did it slowly, you could play it safe.

No matter how talented and fast Fang Qiu was, he would end his exam if he made any mistake, which meant he would fail.

Different from Fang Qiu, Yu Ziyuan was quite steady.

Therefore, even if he was slower than Fang Qiu, those elders didn’t think that he was worse than him, because they believed he wouldn’t make a mistake.

Just as the old men were receiving their prescriptions, there was another sound of footsteps.

There came the first round of Yu Ziyuan’s prescriptions.
