Chapter 1411 - 1411 Seeing Patients in Huaxiatown

“To the clinic?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yicheng immediately turned to look at Fang Qiu.

“Okay.”

With a smile, Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I planned to visit the local Chinese Medicine clinic. Since your director invited me, it couldn’t be better. I don’t need the consultation fee.”

At this point…

Fang Qiu pointed outside and said, “Well, let’s go?”

“Okay.”

Wang Sheng obviously didn’t expect Fang Qiu to agree so readily. With a quiver of excitement, he immediately took Fang Qiu to the car and opened the door for him.

“I won’t take part in the clinic’s affairs. I’ll deal with the company’s documents at home and won’t go with you.”

Zhang Yicheng stepped forward and said.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and got in the car.

“It sounds like your clinic is not small.”

Fang Qiu asked with a smile as the car started.

“Sort of.”

Wang Sheng replied, “The prices here are too high. The clinic needs a large area, and there are few supply channels for Chinese medicinal herbs. Besides, the Murica government does not support Chinese Medicine. Thus, only one Chinese Medicine clinic can exist. Therefore, there is only one Chinese Medicine clinic in Huaxiatown. The director united us and set it up. The clinic has four people in total, including our director and me. Since we are all Chinese Medicine doctors, we will take turns seeing patients. Today, I am off duty. Then, I got the task of inviting you.”

“I see.”

Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.

“Originally, there were four Chinese Medicine clinics in Huaxiatown. We each had one. However, the Murica government didn’t trust Chinese Medicine, not to mention promoting it. The government said they wanted to minimize the risk Chinese Medicine might bring to patients. Thus, three of the four clinics were forced to close because the government only allowed one clinic to exist. In the end, the director called us over, and we four clinics merged into one.”

Wang Sheng said.

“Is there any Chinese Medicine clinic in other blocks outside Huaxiatown?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“No.”

Wang Sheng immediately shook his head and said, “Even in Huaxiatown, only one clinic is allowed to open. How could there be another one in other places? Moreover, the Murica people are arrogant and blind. They don’t trust Chinese Medicine at all. Even if clinics can open in other blocks, they will be closed because no one will visit them!”

“There is still a long way for Chinese Medicine to go global.”

Fang Qiu exclaimed.

“Everyone is working hard for this goal. At least we have taken the first step. With your appearance, I believe Chinese Medicine will get better and better.”

Wang Sheng said with a smile and quickly added, “You may not know the changes. Few Murica people came to our clinic to see a doctor. Later on, you published papers and amazed the world at the World Medical Congress. Since then, some local people in Murica, men with tanned skin or light skin, visited our clinic. Some have become our regular customers. Whenever they get sick, they will come to our clinic immediately. Plus you have cured Morse’s foot. Chinese Medicine will attract more attention in Murica. I believe more and more people will choose Chinese Medicine.”

“That’s not enough.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Since I’m here, I must find ways to overcome problems. Only by constantly settling tricky issues can we cross different barriers. Eventually, Chinese Medicine will fully display its prowess outside Huaxia!”

With this…

The car arrived at Huaxiatown and stopped before the incredibly quaint wooden clinic.

“Huaxia Clinic!”

A few golden characters in a vigorous but graceful style were on the clinic plaque. They looked particularly domineering.

The clinic was commodious.

It had a very prosperous front with three rooms. Two rooms on the left and right had glass walls. What was inside could be clearly seen. One was the decocting area, and the other was full of medicine cabinets.

The gate in the middle was quite spacious.

Walking inside, Fang Qiu saw three rooms in a row. Each room had a Chinese Medicine doctor sitting inside. A row of chairs were placed outside each room. Some patients were waiting in line on these chairs.

“Come here.”

Wang Sheng pulled Fang Qiu. They walked into a room connected to one on the right side with medicine cabinets.

Here…

It was the director’s office.

A middle-aged man was sitting at a tea table, making tea. His gray hair hung down to his lower jaw.

“Fang Qiu.”

Hearing the door being pushed open, the middle-aged man immediately stood up. When he saw Fang Qiu, his eyes instantly sparkled with surprise. He quickly came up, stretched out his hand, and said, “Hello, I’m Hua Xiuyuan, the director of this Huaxia Clinic.”

“Director Hua.”

Fang Qiu said, shaking hands with him.

“Here, come here. Sit down.”

Hua Xiuyuan pointed to the empty seat before the tea table and said, “I brought back top-grade tea from Huaxia. I usually can’t bear to drink it. Today, let’s talk while enjoying the tea.”

“Don’t bother.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I’m here to see patients. There’s no need to drink tea. Director, please arrange a diagnosis desk for me.”

“Ah?”

Hua Xiuyuan was stunned.

“Fang Qiu came to Murica for Chinese Medicine’s development. He said he didn’t want the consultation fee.”

Wang Sheng said.

“That will not do. How can you not take the consultation fee?”

Hua Xiuyuan was even more confused.

Upon arrival, Fang Qiu wanted to see patients but asked for no consultation fee. What was he going to do?

Though in doubt…

But since Fang Qiu had made such a request, Hua Xiuyuan couldn’t say anything more. He could only come out quickly, find a suitable place in the hall, and get a desk for Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu began to see patients!

In the clinic, most customers were Huaxia people.

Fang Qiu sat there to accept patients in person. Plus, a plate of no consultation fee was on his diagnosis desk. Seeing all this, everyone immediately ran over to line up.

Every patient from Huaxia more or less knew Fang Qiu. His medical skills were said to be very excellent. Thus, when Fang Qiu came to see patients, they were all delighted.

As they dashed to line up before Fang Qiu’s desk, several Murica people here were stunned. They didn’t understand what was going on. Why these people suddenly ran over there?

They took a closer look.

The man before the long line was the Huaxia doctor! In the past two days, they had seen countless news reports about him. Without using drugs or performing surgery, he cured Morse’s foot injury.

After this glance…

These Murica people also rushed forward to get in the line.

While queuing up, they called their family and friends to show off. They waited in line to see the Huaxia doctor who had cured Morse’s foot injury.

Before long…

The news was widely spread around all the major social media platforms. Fang Qiu was treating patients in the Huaxia Clinic! Immediately, it attracted a lot of attention.

In the clinic…

Fang Qiu, always serious and responsible, greeted his first patient!

It was an old Huaxia man.

He was about 60 years old.

“Sir, what is ailing you?”

When the elder sat down, Fang Qiu asked with a smile.

“I’ve been sick for many years.”

The old man nodded and said, “It’s asthma. When I have an asthma attack, I feel like I’m dying. I’ve been treating it for many years, but these treatments produce little effect. Every time it breaks out, I can only use medicine to relieve it. But I’m getting forgetful in my old age. I’ve used the medicine for years, but I’m afraid I may forget to bring the medicine one day. If I happen to have an asthma attack, my life will be completely over.”

“Don’t worry.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “Let me examine you first. Then I’ll see if there is any radical cure for it.”

Afterward…

Fang Qiu began the examination.

In Chinese Medicine, bronchial asthma is an allergic disease. Most of the time, it usually breaks out at an early age or in the youth. Then, the illness can be triggered by climate change, excessive fatigue, an improper diet, poor living conditions, and so on. Under normal circumstances, it is the most likely to break out in autumn and winter. In spring, it happens less frequently, and in summer, the illness is in a remission stage. For some patients, the disease may relapse frequently all year round!

When asthma attacks, it is difficult for the patient to breathe. The breathing is prolonged, and there will be howls, coughs, and mucinous or saliva-like phlegm. The patients can’t finish coughing up the phlegm. After coughing out phlegm, the patient can feel relieved briefly. But soon, it will occur again for a few minutes, a few hours, or even a few days. The patient will feel particularly painful!

According to the different onset of the disease, asthma has two types: cold and heat.

Therefore…

Even when Fang Qiu learned this patient was suffering from asthma, he couldn’t treat him directly. Instead, he should know the difference between the two types. He should treat him after carefully distinguishing symptoms!

Fang Qiu began to diagnose.

Soon, he found out the cause of the disease.

In the examination, Fang Qiu learned the old man’s main symptoms. He was sweating and had a fever with a headache. Besides, his breathing was quick, accompanied by a wheezing sound in his throat. His chest was high, and his breathing was heavy. With his mouth open, he couldn’t raise his shoulders or lie flat. He has fits of uncontrollable coughing. His sticky and yellow phlegm couldn’t be easily coughed out. In addition, he felt vexed, and his face was always red. Because he always got thirsty, he had a persistent desire to drink. And his tongue was red.

He obviously had heat asthma!

“Sir, you’re suffering from heat asthma. It happens because of the lung’s impaired purifying and descending function and phlegm-heat interaction.”

Fang Qiu told him the examination result and smiled slightly. “It’s not impossible to cure this disease completely. I have two methods here. One is to take medicine. I can give you a prescription. You decoct and take the medicine according to my instructions. It will be cured in two weeks.”

“The second treatment is acupuncture. If you are willing to take it, I can treat you now. The therapy can eliminate your incompletely cured illness.”

When the elder heard his words…

He thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s do acupuncture. I’m old. I can’t take many prescribed medicines on time when bringing them home. Why should I drink the medicines for more than ten days if you can cure me? I can get over my illness right here.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded. Then, he turned to Wang Sheng and Hua Xiuyuan standing beside him. “I need a set of silver needles!”

Wang Sheng immediately went to get it.

Before long…

He brought the silver needles over.

Fang Qiu stood up. Bypassing the diagnosis desk, he walked to the old man and asked him to take off his coat. Then, he started doing acupuncture!

The selected acupuncture points were: Dazhui, Shenzhu, Fengmen, Feishu, Fenglong, Danzhong, Quchi, Hegu, Waiguan, Shangyang, and Yuji.

He struck needles into the elder at these chosen acupoints and brought about the desired sensation!

Aside…

Wang Sheng and Hua Xiuyuan watched with rapt attention, their eyes sparkling.

It was the first time they had seen someone create the desired sensation in acupuncture treatment so easily. Besides, Fang Qiu’s acupuncture technique was terrific beyond all doubt!
