âDoctorâŠâ the woman dressed in splendid clothes ran while crying, âplease save my son quicklyâŠâ
âI understand,â the womanâs eyes suddenly dimmed, for her son, they had been seeking medical advice and remedies for years, even going to Beijing, but to no avail.
Today they were attending a banquet at the Shen Familyâs residence when her son fell ill, and it so happened that Doctor Wang Zhenggang was already used to such situations and did not panic.
He had the patient carried to the examination bed inside and immediately began taking his pulse.
Yang Ruxin kept silent, standing at the door waiting, because judging by these peopleâs attire they were surely from a rich and noble household.
She had stolen a glance at the boy earlier; his face was pale, and large beads of sweat kept dropping from his forehead, clearly in great pain.
Doctor Wangâs expression was not looking too good, and after taking the pulse, he administered an acupuncture treatment.
After approximately a quarter of an hour, presumably because the pain had lessened, the boyâs complexion started to show a hint of recovery, and his sweating stopped.
The two attending maidservants breathed a sigh of relief, but the woman still wore a face full of worry, âDoctor, how is my son?â
âAh!â Wang Zhenggang sighed, âYour young master is suffering from pain; it is not advisable to travel long distances.
And even if you must go out, why not carry medicine with you?â
Yang Ruxin frowned.
Pain?
Pain where?
Could it be cancer?
From her previous life, she had seen cancer patients in bouts of agony that seemed just as painful as this.
The woman was full of regrets, âI thought it would only be for two days, and we were supposed to return today.
The journey wasnât too long, so I was carelessâŠâ she paused, âand also, the medicines previously prescribed by the doctor seemed to be becoming less effective.
We have heard of Doctor Wangâs miraculous medical skills but didnât seek them because the medications were managingâŠ
Please save my child todayâŠâ she said, on the verge of kneeling.
In fact, she had felt that a doctor from a small town could not be compared to one from the county city, so even though people said Doctor Wang was skilled, she remained skeptical.
She came today out of desperation, only to find that Doctor Wang did indeed seem capable, quickly diagnosing the illness; could he possibly save her child?
Hope flickered in her eyes, âDoes Doctor Wang have the means to prepare the medicine pill?
Please rest assured, the consultation fee is no issueâŠ
Right, Zeze has always been taking something called Musk Ginseng PillâŠâ she said, pulling out a prescription, âItâs prescribed by a doctor in the prefectural city, and he has been on this medication for yearsâŠâ
Wang Zhenggang glanced at the prescription and then sighed, âMadam, this prescription is indeed good, but itâs not that I am unwilling to prepare it; itâs just that this town is small, and while the pharmacy has many herbs, some extremely precious ingredients are hard to come by.
Ingredients like the Hundred-year Ginseng are precious, but still obtainableâI even have half a root here right now.
Fresh Wild Musk, however, is scarceâŠ
Thatâs why the effectiveness of your medicine is not enough; itâs because the ingredients in it arenât pure enoughâŠâ
