Chapter 46 The First Patient
When Luo Lan came to the front hall of the medical clinic, she saw a young man and an old man sitting in her medical clinic.
She came to the table and sat down, then placed the pulse pillow and asked the two of them:
"Who wants to see a doctor?"
The young man pointed at the old man with a black line on his face, "My grandpa is seeing a doctor. He has been dizzy, dazzled, and has difficulty breathing recently."
Hearing this, Luo Lan pointed to the pulse pillow and said, "Old man, reach out your hand and I will take your pulse.
The old man ignored her, but shouted at his grandson coldly,
"I've already said, let's just find an ordinary medical clinic. You have to listen to that kid's nonsense. Since ancient times, how have you ever heard of anyone coming to the palace to see a doctor? Just go to this hospital, and the consultation fee won't be cheap.
I won't be able to afford the consultation fee for a while, what will you do? I won't look at it, I want to go back, I want to go back."
As the old man spoke, he was about to get up and leave.
The young man hurriedly came over to hold him down and dissuade him, "Grandpa, the kids outside said that the princess's medical consultation fee is the same as that of other doctors. It is not expensive, and the doctor is good and can cure all difficult and complicated diseases."
"impossible."
The old man raised his beard and roared, "Just fall for it. You have been fooled by others since you were a child, and you are still fooled now. Why does the princess open a medical clinic not to defraud people of their money?"
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson really made Luo Lan feel helpless. No wonder no one came to her medical clinic after it had been open for so many days. It seemed that the common people had the same idea as this old man.
She frowned and said to the old man:
"How much do the medical clinics outside charge you?"
The old man glanced at her, snorted and said coldly:
"That Hu Langzhong from Changshou Hall only collected a hundred coins."
She held out five fingers,
"Then I charge you fifty cents, do you want to read it?"
Luo Lan directly lowered the price to half. The old man was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his grandson, and then asked with disbelief:
"Is this true?"
Luo Lan nodded, "Seriously, I am a princess and I can still deceive an old man like you."
After hearing this, the old man doubtfully put his hand on the pulse pillow in front of her.
Luo Lan put her middle finger, index finger, and ring finger on the old man's pulse. After checking the pulse, she took out the blood pressure monitor from her medicine box and signaled to the old man's grandson:
"Roll up your grandpa's sleeves and his underwear too, exposing his skin."
Hearing this, the old man suddenly raised his hand to cover his arm, raised his eyebrows and asked,
"What are you going to do? My old man is very old, and you want to disrespect me in public?"
Luo Lan really felt like he couldn't communicate with this ignorant ancient man. How could this ordinary blood pressure monitor scare him like that? He was really convinced.
The old man's grandson was obviously also curious about the blood pressure monitor in her hand. He carefully asked in a low voice,
"princess…"
"Call me Shui Langzhong..."
"Mr. Shui, what are you talking about? Why haven't we seen it before?"
Luo Lan sighed helplessly, "I suspect your grandfather has high blood pressure. This is a manometer. I can't find another one in the entire Daning Kingdom. Of course you don't recognize it."
Seeing this unrecognizable thing, the old man became more stubborn and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"That thing of hers may contain some evil spirit. I won't read it. I'm going home. I'm going home..."
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, but suddenly felt dizzy. Then he covered his head and fell directly to the ground.
This scene immediately frightened the young man. He hurried over to help him and kept shouting:
"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Lan frowned. It seemed that the old man fainted due to high blood pressure. Ancient people called this problem vertigo.
She hurriedly took out a box of antihypertensive pills from the medicine box, opened the lid, poured out two pills, and whispered to the old man's grandson:
"Give this to your grandpa."
Looking at the two white pills, the young man was a little hesitant. He didn't know what they were and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
Ah Hong, who was standing aside, saw that he could not make up his mind and said coldly:
"Do you want to watch your grandfather die, or do you want to give it a try?"
The young man immediately felt that A Hong's words made sense. He did not allow any further explanation and hurriedly stuffed the two pills into the old man's mouth. A Cai handed over another glass of water and gave it to the old man to drink.
After a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes. The young man followed the old man's chest and asked worriedly:
"Grandpa, how are you?"
The old man calmed down for a while, then took a few deep breaths and slowly shook his head, "I'm fine. Why did I feel so dark just now?"
The young man cried with joy and said to the old man:
"Grandpa, thanks to the doctor who gave you two magical pills, otherwise, you might not be able to wake up."
Hearing this, the old man looked at his grandson in surprise, "Really?"
"Can I still lie to you? You were yelling at the water doctor just now."
Being scolded by his grandson, the old man scratched his head in embarrassment, and then stood up with the help of his grandson. He grinned at Luo Lan and said in a loud voice:
"Thank you, the water doctor, for saving your life. Come on, you can show me whatever you want, and I will cooperate with you."
Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "No need to read, I know your symptoms. I have a box of medicine here. You can take one pill every day after you go back. If you really feel dizzy, take two pills."
The old man looked at the white medicine box in her hand and was a little puzzled. His grandson hurriedly came over to explain,
"Grandpa, it was the pill that the doctor took out from here just now that saved you. This thing is very magical."
Hearing his grandson say this, the old man looked at Luo Lan with some embarrassment.
"Isn't this expensive?"
Luo Lan looked at his dark face and suddenly thought of his grandfather in his previous life. He was the same age as his grandfather.
She pursed her lips and shook her head:
"You have vertigo. You need to take this medicine often. You are my first patient. I give you this box of medicine. This is about three months' supply. You will pay me when you come here in three months."
Just money.”
Hearing this, the old man looked at her in surprise, then quickly thanked her and asked the young man to pay the fifty cents for the consultation. The grandfather and grandson left happily.
Holding the fifty coins, Liu Mei muttered,
"Princess, why don't you charge some money? That old man is beginning to clearly distrust your medical skills. You saved him, so you should charge him more money."
Luo Lan chuckled and waved his hand, "It's just a box of medicine. If you want to keep the business going for a long time, you still need to attract some regular customers."
Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Liu Mei in confusion, "What happened to the child that the old man mentioned just now?"
Being stared at by her like this, Liu Mei blushed and lowered her head, muttering in a low voice, "It's like this. Xiaozhi saw that we didn't have any patients here, so he went to attract customers."
Attracting customers?
Luo Lan looked at her in astonishment, "This is not a restaurant, how does he know who the patient is?"
Liu Mei pursed her lips, "He told me last night that she was planning to go to the entrances of various medical clinics in the city to observe who looked like a patient and pull them in."
Hearing this, Luo Lan suddenly felt that Xiaozhi was really a smart and good boy. Although his method of stealing other people's business was a bit despicable, it was okay to do so in order to survive.
At this moment, Ah Hou shouted outside again:
"A patient is here..."
…
This afternoon, Luo Lan suddenly became busy, and it wasn't until the evening that she had time to take a break.
Ah Hong came over with a pot of tea, filled it for her, and said softly:
"Princess, drink some water! You are busy enough today."
Luo Lan picked up the teacup, pursed her lips and smiled proudly, "It's open today, I'm happy to be busy."
Liu Mei was making calculations on the side, and Luo Lan couldn't help but laugh,
"There were a total of six patients here this afternoon. One of them looked pitiful and confiscated her consultation fee. The remaining five people's consultation fees were 250 Wen. They sold three boxes of medicine and earned 150 Wen. Is this the account?"
Liu Mei looked at her and blushed in embarrassment, "Princess has a really good memory. It's such an account. On the first day of work, I want to check it several times for fear of making mistakes."
A Cai couldn't help but mutter, "Princess, we are open for business. You can't be soft-hearted. Although the old lady looks pitiful, you should also charge some medical fees! And you also gave her a box of medicine. Isn't this right?"
