When Shen Tianshu saw that the patient was a child, he felt nervous at first.
Children's diseases are the most difficult to diagnose, which is recognized by the industry.
One reason is that children’s cognition is limited and their expressive abilities are not as good as adults’. It is difficult for them to express their feelings correctly, and the expressions of parents and family members usually have errors of one kind or another.
The second reason is that because children are in the most rapid period of growth and development, many cases cannot be judged based on the experience of treating adults, and it is very easy to misdiagnose or miss diagnosis.
The situation of the child in front of her was obviously more urgent. She was lying in the arms of the young man, with weak breath, dripping with cold sweat, sallow complexion, purple mouth and lips, even more sluggish expression, and weak neck. Following the young man's movements, Swinging from side to side.
The people watching screamed in shock. Anyone who saw such a young child suffering such torture would be heartbroken.
Soon, no one knew who was taking the lead, and rhythmic shouting began to sound outside.
"Ms. Tong, please save the child!"
"Ms. Tong, please save the child!"
…
At this moment, people who were nearby could smell a foul smell. It was actually the child becoming incontinent after convulsing.
Even if the people around him didn't understand medical skills, they still vaguely knew that this was probably going to be impossible.
Upon seeing this, the official came over and whispered to Shen Tianshu: "Ms. Tong, I'm afraid this child will die. If you don't want to interfere, we will escort you out from behind immediately."
At this time, a young woman finally squeezed in from the outside, panting, and burst into tears uncontrollably.
Shen Tianshu looked at the crying couple, and then at the child in their arms, and couldn't help but think of his brother-in-law and his niece who died when she was only one year old.
Even though she knew this was a trap set by Gong Lihua and was waiting for her to jump in, she still couldn't bear to leave like this.
"Ms. Tong, everyone in Yongzhou Prefecture now says that you are a miracle doctor with a wonderful rejuvenation. Please save my Ling'er!" The child's mother grabbed Shen Tianshu's lapel and kowtowed to her desperately.
The father held the child and could not bend down to kowtow, but he knelt on the ground and looked at Shen Tianshu with a pleading look on his face.
"Bring the child in first and put him on the bed!" Shen Tianshu took a deep breath and finally agreed.
The cheers outside the Yangji Hall were loud.
Gong Lihua's eyes also lit up.
Finally took the bait!
This little lady is just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse. She cured a few people and was praised by everyone. Now she feels like she can do anything. She even dares to take on a fatal disease that is known by visual inspection.
Gong Lihua sneered in his heart. After all, you are still young and don't know the dangers of the world. If you dare to come to Yongzhou Mansion to steal business from me, don't blame me for letting you get out in ruins. You will never dare to set foot in Huguang in this life!
Shen Tianshu brought people into the inner room, asked someone to bring two pots of hot water, and asked Mingyu to help the mother wipe the child clean. She called the father outside to inquire about the situation in detail.
"I wonder what you call me?" Shen Tianshu handed the other person a cup of hot tea, trying to relieve the other person's nervousness, "Can you tell me about the child first?"
"My name is Luo Shizhong, and my daughter Luo Qiaozhen, who is seven years old this year, suddenly had twitching of her hands and feet in the middle of the night more than ten days ago, and her teeth locked, and she would twitch every other cup of tea. She continued to suffer until the next morning, and her legs suddenly became unable to stand. , let her stand on her own, and immediately fell down.
"We took the child everywhere to seek medical advice, but we went to several major medical clinics in Yongzhou Prefecture, and then drove to Wuchang Prefecture to find doctors. They all said that the condition was critical and difficult to save."
Luo Shizhong couldn't help but shed tears as he said this, which shows how sad and anxious the couple have been with their daughter for more than ten days seeking medical advice.
"We just came back from Wuchang Mansion today. We had already planned to go back to our home to obey fate. Unexpectedly, we suddenly heard that Mrs. Tong has superb medical skills and happened to be doing a free clinic at Yangji Hall. We, the husband and wife, also held on to the last glimmer of hope and brought our children over to see us. Look, who knows..."
Shen Tianshu nodded when he heard this. As for who he heard it from, there was no need to ask, it must have been Gong Lihua.
"How was the child's health in the past? Is the illness sudden this time, or has this happened before?"
"My wife was already frail and sick. Not only was she born prematurely, but she also lacked milk after delivery. Although the child was raised by a wet nurse, she has been frail and sick since she was a child. She saw many doctors and they all said she was born with deficiencies. She tried to find ways to nurse her back to health, but she always disappeared. What effect.”
Just when Shen Tianshu wanted to ask more about the situation in the past few days after the onset of the disease and what medicines he had used, he heard the panicked cry of the child's mother coming from inside the house.
The two got up and ran into the house at the same time. They saw the child's limbs twitching, his body stretched, his face flushed, and he was almost suffocating.
Shen Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse. At this time, the child's pulse was weak and blurred, and he did not respond to calls.
"Hurry and get Korean ginseng and musk." Shen Tianshu passed directly over Gong Lihua and ordered the medicine boy on the side.
But the medicine boy still subconsciously turned to look at Gong Lihua.
Gong Lihua said: "Look at what I am doing, Madam Tong is saving people, and everyone is listening to Madam Tong's orders!"
The medicine boy ran out quickly, and Luo Shizhong followed closely and said, "I came on horseback to take you faster."
In less than one stick of incense, the medicine boy got back the Korean ginseng and musk.
Shen Tianshu weighed out a penny of Korean ginseng and ground it into powder, added a little bit of musk to it, and with the help of the child's mother, mixed it with warm water and drank it to the child.
Korean ginseng can indeed replenish vitality and is indeed symptomatic, but musk is added to it, but Gong Lihua really doesn't understand its meaning.
But although he was suspicious, he was determined.
No matter what medicine is used, it is too late for this child.
Even if the person is rescued reluctantly, he will become stupid, and the parents of the child will only become more resentful and will not thank the doctor at all.
Shen Tianshu couldn't care less at this time. After giving the medicine to the child, after a cup of tea, the child's limbs were still twitching and there was no improvement.
Gong Lihua's eyes revealed that this was indeed the case, and he could hardly suppress his pride.
Shen Tianshu glanced at him through the gauze curtain of the curtain, and told Minghui in a calm tone: "Weigh half a penny of Korean ginseng powder."
She did not add musk this time and gave the Korean ginseng powder to the child again with warm water.
The child's small body was hunched over in a strange posture, and its limbs were still twitching.
The child's mother couldn't bear to watch anymore, turned around and buried herself in her husband's arms, crying softly.
Gong Lihua finally couldn't hold back anymore and stepped forward and said: "The child's condition was already so serious when he was brought here. Even if Mrs. Tong is a miracle doctor, there will be times when she can't save her life. The death of the child is indeed sad, but it is also unavoidable... "
"Bah! Fuck your mother's shit!"
Before Gong Lihua could finish his words, the child's mother spat in his face!
