Hearing Su Qingluan's rhetorical question, Skinny Monkey curled his lips and said, "If there are cheaper medical clinics, how can we afford Huichun Hall's exorbitant prices?"
Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows: "Is there no other medical clinic?"
"Yes! Why not?" Shouhou'er folded his hands and sighed, "But Huichuntang has the ability and the confidence to ask for such a high price!" As he said that, he raised his thumb, indicating that he was also very interested. admire.
But it turns out that Huichun Hall still has some "origins". It is said that this medical clinic has been a doctor for two generations, an imperial doctor who can treat the nobles in the palace and even the emperor.
Coinciding with the replacement of the throne, a group of officials were purged. The doctor was implicated in the struggle for power in the palace, was demoted to a commoner, and was exiled to the bitter cold land in the north.
Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty. The former imperial doctor was also pardoned. He wanted to return to his hometown to live in retirement, but did not want to encounter war on the way, so he fled to Lefeng County and opened the "Huichun Hall".
In this way, the doctor settled down and settled down in this small county town with well-developed transportation but relatively remote location. And because he was getting older and had no children, he adopted two children with good qualifications and passed on the medical skills Tongshen had learned to them, hoping that they would inherit the mantle.
One of them inherited the "Huichun Hall" when he grew up, and the other wanted to travel around. However, more than ten years ago, the doctor who inherited the Huichun Hall was seriously ill. As the saying goes, "A doctor does not heal himself." He knew that his time was running out, so he sent someone with a letter to find his junior brother who was traveling abroad.
But by the time the teacher received the letter and hurried back, the doctor from Hui Chun Hall had already died.
The junior brother burst into tears and buried his senior brother. He stopped traveling around and concentrated on running the "Rejuvenation Hall" here until now.
Because of these "family origins", the three generations of doctors in Huichun Hall are all miraculous doctors who can rejuvenate. Even if they are not as good as Bian Que and Hua Tuo, they are not comparable to ordinary barefoot doctors.
However, the medical skills are so superb, Huichun Hall has mixed reputations here - for no other reason than the ridiculously high medical fees, which are not affordable for ordinary people.
Therefore, unless the illness reaches a certain level, ordinary people will not easily go to the "Huichun Hall" for medical consultation. This was also the case when Su Qingluan had just traveled through time and had a fever due to falling into the water. Su Guangfu and his wife did not call him at the beginning. The doctor, but later looking at Su Qingluan, she saw that she had too much air and not enough air intake, so she gritted her teeth and invited the doctor from Huichun Hall.
And back to Mrs. Xi's family, Lin Sheng, the head of the family, became paralyzed after falling this time. Su Qingluan has a knowledge reserve that spans the ages, and naturally understands that this is an injury to the spine. Even with modern medicine, it is very difficult to treat high paraplegia caused by spinal damage.
What's more, in ancient times when medicine was not very developed?
To put it bluntly, in this primitive medical environment, which does not have any medical license as a standard of practice, nor any third-party supervision, it is very idealistic. When you go out to seek medical treatment, you encounter scammers or quack doctors who can only treat bruises and injuries without any authentic books. The possibility is very high.
Since Su Qingluan traveled through time, he has heard of three cases in Huaxi Village and Lefeng Town of people who died after seeing a doctor.
Although the people in the neighborhood said that the patients were dying and dying, Su Qingluan only felt that these patients were tortured to death after hearing about those incredible "treatment methods" such as "drinking talisman water" and "bloodletting". of.
At the same time, I thought with some fear and some relief: Fortunately she "woke up" in time enough, otherwise she would have been subjected to some weird and outrageous "treatment methods".
So in comparison, although Huichuntang charges an outrageous price, it is not thrown away with rotten leaves and rotten eggs. Instead, everyone talks about it with great admiration and respect, so it is not difficult to understand.
According to Shouhou'er, many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from other places paid a lot of money just to invite doctors from the "Huichun Hall" to come to see a doctor. The doctor stayed.
However, starting from the first imperial doctor who opened Huichun Hall, Huichun Hall has an unwritten rule: you can move away from this place, but you cannot practice medicine alone for any high-ranking or wealthy family, no matter how generous the reward is.
After the old imperial doctor died of illness, the two apprentices who inherited his mantle also abided by this rule. No matter who paid a high price, the two brothers had only one attitude: practicing medicine is allowed, but becoming a private doctor is not.
In fact, for most people, this is good news - after all, if Huichun Hall becomes the private medical clinic of a powerful person, then ordinary people will have difficulty finding such a famous doctor even if they have the medical expenses to pay.
"Ms. Xi's husband," Su Qingluan carefully considered her words, "Is there any improvement?"
"More than an improvement!" Shouhouer sighed, "At first I heard that the head of the Liu family could only lie down straight and move his neck, but within half a year, the Liu Sheng could sit up with his upper body!"
Su Qingluan was also very surprised: In this era, such obvious recovery effects can be achieved in half a year. This Huichun Hall can really be called the "Sage of the Apricot Grove".
At this moment, she completely understood why Mrs. Xi was so worried and haggard.
According to the level of consultation fees and medical expenses charged by Huichun Hall, even if Mrs. Xi's cake stall is very prosperous, it is really difficult to pay for this long period of high medical expenses.
However, the treatment is very effective, and everyone understands that no matter what the disease is, it will become more serious as time goes by. If you want to be completely cured, you must do it as soon as possible.
Therefore, this treatment must not be interrupted.
Su Qingluan let out a long sigh when thinking of the arduous journey of seeking medical treatment in the last few years of his life, and of the patients who had to give up treatment due to various financial reasons.
After learning from Shouhou'er what the difficulties were at Mrs. Xi's family, Su Qingluan's heart became heavier than before.
Emotionally speaking, Su Qingluan wanted to help Mrs. Xi's family, not to mention that Mrs. Xi had a forthright and righteous personality and was a person worth getting to know.
But Su Qingluan is not a little girl who acts impulsively when her head is hot.
Naturally, she could use her savings to help Mrs. Xi and her family in emergencies. However, Su Qingluan couldn't guarantee that the other party would have evil thoughts after seeing such a huge sum of money.
What's more, treating paralysis is a big project that consumes money and energy for a long time, no matter in which era. Her money cannot guarantee that the other party will be completely cured - after all, this kind of long-term chronic treatment is a bottomless pit.
Suddenly, Su Qingluan thought: Maybe there is a win-win solution...
