The second day.
Early in the morning, medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office, escorted by Marquis Wu, set up distribution stations for cholera antidote in various streets in Chang'an City with relatively large flow of people. All patients with cholera at home could receive the antidote with their help. You can come here to receive medicines for free if you submit a certificate issued by the doctor or a registered official.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was filled with joy!
People rushed to tell each other, and those who had relatives at home who were suffering from cholera quickly went to the mayor or village chief to issue a certificate, and then went to the medicine distribution station to collect medicine.
The people outside the city learned the news a little later. The people who came to Chang'an City in the morning had to run back to the village after learning the news in order to spread the news to those families who had cholera.
Therefore, most of the first batch of people to receive the antidote were people from Chang'an City, or Zhuangzi who was very close to Chang'an City.
"What? Is there still a medicine missing? This medical officer, what medicine is missing? Is it expensive~?"
When an old man heard someone from the Imperial Medical Office saying that the medicinal materials were insufficient, a look of worry immediately appeared on his face, and he asked quickly.
The medical officer did not show any impatience or contempt because of the old man's question. He smiled and replied:
"It's not expensive, it's something that every household has. It's called stove heart soil. It's the burnt yellow soil in the center of the bottom of the stove. After taking it out, use a knife to cut off the burnt black part and impurities, and put it in the stove you just received. Just fry the third set of medicinal ingredients together!"
The old man's eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief: "What? The dirt lumps in the earth stove can also be used to treat diseases? Did I hear that right, old man~?"
The medical officer was about to answer, but the people behind him were impatient to wait, "Hey, the one in front of you should leave as soon as you finish receiving the medicine! Don't block other people from receiving the medicine~!"
"Yes, yes~! After you have received it, we still have to receive it~!"
Suddenly there was a denunciation, and the old man quickly got out of the way, apologized a few times, and left full of doubts.
………………………………
At the same time, Xishikou was the most crowded place in Chang'an City.
Sun Simiao and his apprentice Hu Jingran also set up a "stall" here and distributed medicinal materials to the people!
Since Sun Simiao did not like to be restrained and liked to travel around, and the current order of the Imperial Medical Office has been pending, Li Er asked Sun Simiao to temporarily act as the Imperial Medical Officer and be in charge of more than 300 medical students, medical officers, and doctors in the Imperial Medical Office. However, According to the order of the Imperial Medical Office, freedom will not be restricted. As long as Sun Simiao can come to Chang'an a few times a year, Li Er will be satisfied!
"Auntie, are you prone to bad habits lately? You have shortness of breath and sweat easily, and you often feel cold~?"
"Hey, yes, yes, little girl, you are so amazing. You have revealed all the problems I have had recently~! Then...then can my disease be cured~?"
"Auntie, you are just weak and have a minor illness. Don't worry. I will give you a prescription. You can grab three doses of the medicine and you will be fine! Just be careful not to be too tired~!"
"Hey, thank you so much, girl~! I only brought fifty coins with me when I went out. Girl, do you think you can wait here for me to get some money when I go back?"
"Auntie, Master and I don't charge for consultation. You just need to take the prescription to the drugstore to buy the medicine~!"
Sun Simiao and his apprentice were not only here to distribute cholera medicines today, but also to provide free medical consultation to some people. In fact, Hu Jingran was mainly attending the consultation, and Sun Simiao was distributing medicines while listening to Hu Jingran's diagnosis results of the patients.
In fact, he had done this kind of free clinic countless times while traveling with Hu Jingran, and it was considered a test and exercise set for Hu Jingran.
When practicing medicine, if you only stop at medical books, you will never become an outstanding doctor.
During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain. While studying medical books, he went around to diagnose diseases for the people. This seclusion lasted for more than 40 years. It was precisely because of his accumulated medical experience of more than 40 years that he finally became a famous doctor of the generation. A master of medicine, Sun Simiao understands the importance of medical experience better than anyone else.
Since Hu Jingran wanted to study medicine, Sun Simiao had been helping Hu Jingran lay the foundation for him by teaching him while learning theory while practicing medicine.
Of course, the effect is also very obvious.
After traveling for more than half a year, Hu Jingran cured at least hundreds of patients. In some places, many people called her the "Little Medical Fairy"!
"Hey, how can this happen? How can there be no charge for medical treatment~?"
The woman who came to see the doctor suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Sun Simiao turned around and said, "Madam, this is a free clinic today. Of course we can't charge money. You'd better take the prescription and get the medicine! There are still patients waiting for treatment~!"
"Uh-huh, thank you so much, Dr. Sun, and this girl!"
The woman left quickly.
The next patient was a middle-aged man. Judging from his clothes, he didn't look like he came from a poor family. Unexpectedly, he came to join in the fun of the free clinic.
"Divine Doctor Sun, I heard that you were setting up a free clinic here, so I came here specially. Can you help Meng take a look?"
The man did not directly extend his wrist to Hu Jingran, but respectfully requested Sun Simiao.
"Huh~? What does this mean~?"
The patients lining up behind started talking about it.
"He doesn't trust that little girl's medical skills~!"
"Hey, actually I don't believe it either!"
"Shit, don't you look down on people, this girl is very good at medical skills despite her young age! It is said that when Dr. Sun traveled to Liangzhou, a plague broke out in a village. This girl stayed awake for three days in a row and killed all the people in the village. The people who got the plague were cured, and the local people called her the Little Medical Fairy~!"
"Hi~! So awesome~?"
"Isn't that right~? This time I came here specifically to see the Little Fairy Doctor for diagnosis! Some people are really blind~!"
Sun Simiao, who was distributing medicine, heard the middle-aged man's request. He just turned to look at the man, then turned to distribute medicine again, and said: "Your sick Taoist disciple will definitely be able to cure it, so don't worry." Come on~! I still have to be busy distributing medicine!"
"But...."
"It's nothing but, if you don't believe what Pindao says, why bother to come to Pindao~?"
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but was instantly shot back by Sun Simiao. He had no choice but to sit in front of Hu Jingran and stretch out his arms.
Hu Jingran was not annoyed by being looked down upon. She smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, uncle. Even if it's a disease that I can't treat, Master will definitely help treat it."
While speaking, Hu Jingran's two fingers had already touched the middle-aged man's wrist.
