Chapter 275 The twelfth lunar month
Queen Mother Liu finally took Zhang Sijiu's medicine.
As for this kind of wrapped medicinal powder... Empress Dowager Liu only ate it once and said it was so good: not bitter, tasteless, and no pressure at all when taking it!
In fact, Chen Shenyan, who was taking medicine together, was not completely lonely.
He found that his previous toothache was gone.
Then, Chen Shenyan felt something called panic for the first time.
Feeling panic about the future of the Imperial Medical Office.
He went to find Zhang Sijiu.
Zhang Sijiu was a little confused by Chen Shenyan's seriousness: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shenyan sighed: "Is that medicine really a mushroom?"
Zhang Sijiu nodded: "It's really a mushroom, it's guaranteed to be fake."
Chen Shenyan was silent for a moment and asked: "There are many mushrooms that can be used as medicine, but not many have such miraculous effects. Tell me the truth, what does this medicine of yours actually cure?"
He remembered that all the patients who had undergone surgery took this medicine.
Zhang Sijiu called this medicine oxytetracycline.
Let me ask, if this medicine can cure trauma, reduce fever, relieve toothache, and cure coughs - what is this if not a panacea?
When prescribing, although the medicines are the same, the combination of prescriptions is different each time.
Zhang Sijiu doesn't make any prescriptions, and it's made in one go.
Such a panacea is both a good thing and a... bad thing.
What Chen Shenyan sees now is that this medicine may cause many pharmacies to close down or sell this medicine instead.
Is there really a panacea in the world?
Based on Chen Shenyan's experience, he felt that perhaps Zhang Sijiu himself did not realize what the medicine was and what it would bring.
Zhang Sijiu was startled by Chen Shenyan's seriousness - after all, Mr. Chen rarely spoke to him so seriously.
The most important thing is that the question Old Chen asked made her guess what he really wanted to ask.
Lao Chentou is afraid that Chinese medicine will be impacted.
In fact, this problem has long been confirmed in modern times.
The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is due to various reasons, such as the rupture of inheritance, the efficacy of cultivated medicines is not as good as wild medicines, etc. Another very important one is the impact of Western medicine.
Especially Western medicine is a product of science.
Everything is verifiable, visible and tangible, and is very convenient to produce and easy to control.
In contrast, Chinese medicine is broad and profound, cannot explain its principles clearly, and cannot be verified by science, which makes Chinese medicine become something like metaphysics.
As for Western medicine, people are accustomed to going to the hospital and being prescribed pills whenever they get sick.
There are also stereotypes about traditional Chinese medicine: slow to work, expensive, troublesome...
Zhang Sijiu was silent for a long time and then said softly: "I think this medicine can cure all invasions of external evils. I understand that external evils are bad things that we can't see. But they are real.
, some can also be spread. And this medicine is the nemesis of the invisible."
"It seems to cure many diseases, but these diseases are caused by the infection of external evils."
"Not all fevers can be treated with this medicine, and not all coughs can be treated with this medicine. It still depends on the symptoms. The Queen Mother's illness this time is infection by external evils."
Chen Shenyan did not forget the stethoscope: "That tool of yours——"
"Listening to sounds." Zhang Sijiu took out the stethoscope, handed it to Chen Shenyan, and asked him to listen to his chest.
Chen Shenyan knew about this thing. Qi Jing told him when he went back and tried it for him. So he didn't answer it and just said: "Can you tell it by listening to the sound?"
Zhang Sijiu nodded: "I can tell that the sounds are different. Infected by external evils, there is a lot of mucus, and the airways will also be swollen, so the breathing sounds are completely different."
She added: "This is also discovered through many years of experience."
Chen Shenyan breathed a sigh of relief: "This medicine——"
"It's easy to do but not easy to do." Zhang Sijiu said, but he didn't intend to hand it over: "And the side effects are very serious. I'm still figuring it out, so I really don't dare to let it go out easily."
When every pharmacy has some oxytetracycline, she will make a fortune as a manufacturer, but what will the patients do?
These doctors of traditional Chinese medicine have never studied Western medicine and do not have a good grasp of the dosage of Western medicine.
The biggest fear is that patients will buy it and eat it randomly.
When Chen Shenyan heard what Zhang Sijiu said, he understood what Zhang Sijiu meant. He hesitated a little: "It's medicine that is three parts poison. Everyone understands this truth."
Zhang Sijiu sighed: "Everyone understands, but not everyone can control the dosage. At least, I cannot publish the formula, let alone sell it to others. But I can promise that this medicine will definitely not
It’s not expensive. It won’t increase the price. It will be the signature of the First Hospital, but it will never become the cash cow of the First Hospital.”
Zhang Sijiu's expression was so sincere and solemn that Chen Shenyan swallowed everything he wanted to say.
He felt that Zhang Sijiu was trustworthy.
Ever since Zhang Sijiu came to Kyoto, this little girl has shown her character.
Chen Shenyan thought of the people outside Tokyo: "But the world is so big——"
"Then let me teach. I will teach in person. Then you send them everywhere. They can buy medicine from the No. 1 Hospital to treat the patients." Zhang Sijiu refused to give in.
Of course she knows how good oxytetracycline is. She also knows how big the world is and how many people are waiting to use it.
Cheng Wanli had been with her for three or four years and she could trust him, but she couldn't trust others.
After hearing this, Chen Shenyan didn't say anything else. He nodded and said he would go back and think about it, and then left.
Three more days later, Queen Mother Liu recovered.
Then he summoned Zhang Sijiu.
Empress Dowager Liu was also very straightforward and asked directly: "Jiuniang, what reward do you want?"
Zhang Sijiu smiled with a smile on his face: "The Queen Mother, Chen Tai's Medical Office has already given you the medical fees and medicine money."
Queen Mother Liu was stunned.
Zhang Sijiu smiled brightly: "I have received medical fees and medicine fees, so there is no need for any rewards. And I am too embarrassed to mention what I want."
She said so, how could Empress Dowager Liu not ask?
Zhang Sijiu was really embarrassed: "Look, I'm not short of money, I'm short of fame. Speaking of which, treating you is actually the matter of the Imperial Medical Office. You reward me. I can't hold back anything.
When we go back to celebrate with gongs and drums, the Imperial Medical Office will be so embarrassed."
Empress Dowager Liu suddenly remembered the incident where Zhang Sijiu got the banner. She couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed "haha": "It doesn't matter, the Ai family will handle this matter for you. Just wait."
After a pause, she asked Zhang Sijiu: "As the saying goes, if you climb high, you will inevitably fall. Are you not afraid, Jiuniang?"
Zhang Sijiu told the truth: "I'm afraid, why aren't I afraid? But I'm a female doctor. No matter whether I'm tall or not, they all hope that I'll fall down. So, it's better to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some glory -"
