Chapter 37: Apprentice
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and said, "This kind of illness can't be cured even if you prescribe medicine. It's a slow disease. When it was serious, he could take enzymes to detoxify and suppress the discomfort, but he still had to rely on diet therapy. I suggest you eat more food like celery, apples, and oranges."
"In addition, you should eat low-salt food. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans. Walk around more to train your body, and it's best not to drink alcohol. There's no need to be anxious in your daily life, and try to maintain a relaxed and comfortable mood."
"This patient's illness is still in the early stage and is in a controllable state. If I were to treat this patient, I can write him a prescription. It's not a prescription for medicine, but for daily conditioning. Do as I say and it will reduce the possibility of a relapse!"
High blood pressure could be said to be incurable. It could only be controlled with medicine.
Even modern medical technology had not been able to cure high blood pressure, not to mention that Chinese medicine had never been ideal for lowering blood pressure.
It could be said that in addition to the anti-blood medication, it was more dependent on the patient's self-management!
Du Gong nodded his head and said in a very honest manner, "With your ability, it's a waste of talent if you only want to be an apprentice."
Hearing this, Jin Tao glanced at Liu Shimei with an unfriendly look!
Liu Shimei thought to herself, 'Just now, I thought that Du Gong was a good person and it should be a good ting to work here. Who knew that there would be a bad element so soon?'
However, this was also something she was used to. It's impossible for everyone in the world to like you, right?
Through the curtain, the patient naturally heard Liu Shimei's words and asked, "Doctor Du, this young lady... Is what she said true?"
"Yes, I can prescribe you some medicine to relieve your current occasional dizziness and headache," Du Gong replied. "But more importantly, it still depends on your usual habits."
He then looked at Liu Shimei and said, "Why don't you write down the prescription and let me take a look?"
On this side, Du Gong was writing a prescription, while Liu Shimei was at the table behind him, writing down a piece of paper on the things to pay attention to in daily life management.
After both sides were finished, Du Gong took the prescription written by Liu Shimei. He was slightly surprised. "May I ask who young lady's previous teacher is?"
"If I say I'm self-taught, wouldn't that be a lie?" Liu Shimei smiled faintly.
To his surprise, Du Gong also smiled and said, "It's true that there have been self-taught doctors, as there's indeed a medical genius in this world. However, it's not someone from our great Shu Dynasty, but far away in the Minliang Dynasty. It's a talented woman who is skilled in both medicine and poison without a teacher. At the age of 17, she became famous in the battle of the Capital of Liang with the 'Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Treatment'. If you also have such monstrous talent, I won't be surprised."
Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and was a little fascinated by the story. "It would be great if I could experience it."
Du Gong said, "That's impossible. That doctor is already dead. If there's a chance, you may be able to see her great-great-grandson."
"Oh..."
Liu Shimei thought, 'So it was already over a hundred years ago?'
After handing the prescription to Jin Xi, Du Gong explained some matters and brought Liu Shimei to the steward's office downstairs. He gave a suggestion, "I have accepted Miss Zhi Liu as an apprentice, but her ability is not weak, so I let's just keep it this way for the time being. We can make future decisions as we go."
"What do you think?" he asked Liu Shimei.
Jin Tao also came down. When he saw this, he glared at Liu Shimei from behind Du Gong!
Liu Shimei felt it, but she pretended not to see it. She said, "Everything will be up to Doctor Du's arrangements."
However, she thought in her heart, 'I'm afraid that my days in the Zheng Medical Hall will not be peaceful!'
Thus, the matter was settled.
When Du Gong left with Jin Tao, Jin Tao even turned around to glance at Liu Shimei.
