Chapter 36
Compared with the National Medical Hall, the Zheng Medical Hall was not far behind in terms of size. The interior decoration was relatively low-key, but for an ordinary medical hall, it was quite rich.
“We have a total of ten doctors in our Zheng Medical Hall, and each doctor has their own treatment room.”
The steward introduced as he walked forward.
Liu Shimei felt that this was a good point, similar to the modern era. She sincerely praised, “It’s good for both the doctor and the patient.”
The steward smiled and led Liu Shimei through the corridor to one of the consultation rooms in the backyard. Liu Shimei took a look and saw a carved wooden sign with the character ‘Du Gong’ hanging at the door.
It must be the treatment room of Doctor Du.
The steward brought her in and said a few words to the doctor in the consultation room, explaining the reason for Liu Shimei’s visit.
The doctor looked at Liu Shimei and nodded. “You’re here to be an apprentice, right? I’ll test your ability first.”
The steward came over and introduced Liu Shimei, then asked, “I still don’t know what’s your name, Miss?”
Liu Shimei’s lips curved into a faint smile, “Zhi Liu.”
Zhi Liu, the woman who jumped out from the Liu family and wanted to control the Liu family in her hands!
Du Gong was a man in his forties with a goatee. He was slightly thin.
He had two disciples beside him. They were a pair of brother and sister, Jin Xi and Jin Tao.
Their master wanted to recruit new apprentices, and the two of them did not seem to have any objections on the surface. But after Liu Shimei entered, she felt the obvious rejection from the two.
Perhaps he was too busy, but Du Gong did not want to talk nonsense. He just asked Jin Tao to pull a curtain and arranged for Liu Shimei to sit behind the curtain. Not long after, a patient came in.
The patient sat down. Du Gong did not immediately take the patient’s pulse. Instead, he asked Liu Shimei to stretch out her hand through the curtain to take the patient’s pulse. He gave a reasonable explanation, “I intend to take in an apprentice, so I will test your medical skills. I’ll have to trouble you to cooperate. I’ll let you take a look at the patient first before I take a look. Please forgive me for my rudeness.”
Liu Shimei was surprised and thought, ‘I can see that the doctor of the Zheng Medical Hall has a good bearing. It seemed that it would be good if I could stay here and work.’
She did not think much about it and took the man’s pulse.
In her previous life, although Liu Shimei was good at both Chinese and Western medicine, she mainly focused on Western medicine. In Chinese medicine, she was stronger in pharmacology, especially in toxicology. She had more theoretical knowledge than practical experience, so she needed more.
“How is it?”
After seeing that Liu Shimei had finished taking the patient’s pulse and retracted her hand behind the curtain, Du Gong took over and took the patient’s pulse.
Liu Shimei answered, “This patient should have flux meridians, which are hard and powerful due to increased vascular tension. There were also slippery and tight meridians. Usually, tje patient would often feel a swelling pain in his head, feeling occasionally dizzy, chest discomfort, and occasionally, numbness in his limbs. Is he over 50 years old and slightly chubby?”
This theory was abstruse, and it was a complete set. To put it bluntly, the patient’s symptoms were the common high blood pressure in modern times!
She could not see the other person’s body through the curtain, but when she touched the person’s wrist, she could feel that this person’s wrist was full of flesh, but the muscle was not very elastic. She could judge that he was slightly fat and that his skin was loose because he was not young.
If it was not for the fact that the patient was fat, his skin would be even softer and less elastic.
Du Gong had also finished taking the patient’s pulse. He looked over at Liu Shimei, as if surprised that she had such a standard, and asked, “Then in your opinion, how should we prescribe the medicine?”
