Chapter 82: Hemorrhage Caused by Car Vibration

  After Li Hui and his son left, the clinic was quiet for a while. Practicing medicine and running a clinic is different from doing business and selling things. When doing business, there are discounts and promotions on the first day of opening, plus publicity, so many people may come on the first day, but it's not the case with clinics.

  Seeing a doctor is not child's play, it concerns one's own health and cannot be driven by some small benefits. Although Wang Xu's door hung a sign that said "free clinic for three days before opening", no one asked about it.

  A newly opened clinic, not well-known, naturally no one is willing to come and try it out. This is reasonable, Wang Xu's original intention for opening the clinic was not to make money, so he didn't worry about it. He chatted with Bai Zijie in the clinic while Bai Nongxin went to his own restaurant.

  Bai Nong's new restaurant decoration is much more complicated than Wang Xu's clinic, and it is expected to open in another month. Now that Wang Xu's clinic has opened, he doesn't have to worry about taking care of it anymore.

  "Brother Wang Xu, how do you feel about this pulse diagnosis? I think they're all similar, why can you detect the abnormality?" With nothing to do, Bai Zijie asked Wang Xu for guidance on traditional Chinese medicine knowledge. Her pale hand placed on Wang Xu's wrist, seemingly serious, and asked with a puzzled expression.

  Wang Xu was suddenly amused by Bai Zijie's serious expression, and smiled as he explained: "In traditional Chinese medicine, looking, listening, asking, and palpating are all important diagnostic techniques. In fact, palpation is the most difficult to master, sometimes requiring not only diligence but also innate talent." As he spoke, he detailed the basics of these four diagnostic methods to Bai Zijie.

  "Wang, literally means looking, from the surface, and checking a person's health condition by observing their complexion. In fact, predecessors have summarized many experiences, reading medical books can easily grasp simple symptoms, such as abnormal colors of lips, tongue coating, facial color, etc., which are related to certain problems, all of which are based on evidence and can be mastered through rote memorization."

  "Furthermore, smelling refers to the smell on the patient's body. Different diseases have abnormal sweat smells and breath odors. The basics are easy to grasp and can be memorized by rote. Asking is even better understood, that is, judging through inquiring about the patient's own feelings and usual abnormalities."

  "As for the pulse, it naturally refers to feeling the pulse, and the subtle differences in strength and weakness of the pulse beat represent different diseases. It requires careful attention to feel and carefully explore, so the most important thing about feeling the pulse is to use one's heart."

  "How profound." Bai Zijie stuck out her tongue and made a face.

  "Come slowly, don't rush." Wang Xu smiled and said: "No matter which of the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine - inspection, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking - is mastered to an extreme degree, it's not that simple."

  "Wang Xuge, when did you start learning medicine?" asked Bai Zijie curiously.

  "Start at the age of six." Wang Xu recalled, "When I was studying medicine, I suffered a lot. My grandfather was an old Chinese doctor, kind to outsiders but strict with me. He assigned tasks every day and wouldn't let me eat if I didn't finish them."

  "Ah! How pitiful." Bai Zijie exclaimed in surprise.

  "Eating bitterness and hardship, only then can one become a superior person. If it weren't for my grandfather's strict teachings from a young age, I wouldn't have been able to learn this set of medical skills. By the time I was 15 years old, I had already memorized all sorts of medical classics, such as the 'Huangdi Neijing', 'Shanghan Lun', 'Bencao Gangmu' and so on."

  "So amazing." Bai Zijie's eyes were full of little stars as she gazed at Wang Xu with admiration.

  "Grandfather stipulated that we had to memorize one medical book every three months, at least four books a year." Wang Xu muttered to himself, his eyes filled with nostalgia. Although studying traditional Chinese medicine had taken away much of the fun from his childhood, he didn't regret it one bit. The person he was most grateful for and admired in this life was his grandfather, Wang Hegen.

  "Wang Xu, you're really pitiful." Bai Zijie said sympathetically.

  "Little girl, studying medicine is tough. Wanting to be a doctor isn't easy, do you still want to learn?" Wang Xu asked, coming back to his senses and looking at Bai Zijie.

  "I want to learn." Bai Zijie said without hesitation, and after saying that, she looked at Wang Xu with a smile: "Brother Wang Xu, you're too bad, deliberately scaring me like that."

  "I'm not scaring you, I'm telling the truth." Wang Xu said with a chuckle.

  Two people chatted and laughed, time passed quickly, unknowingly it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. Anyway, there were no patients, so Wang Xu simply closed the clinic and called Bai Nongxin to have dinner together at a nearby restaurant. After seeing off Bai Nongxin and Bai Zijie as they headed home, he returned to the clinic.

  The clinic opened, and Wang Xu planned to live in the clinic. Practicing medicine is different from doing business, it doesn't distinguish between day and night, and people can get sick at night too. Since he has taken up this profession, he naturally wants to do a good job.

  Behind the clinic, Wang Xu specially had someone separate a small compartment, which was just enough to hold a bed, and he slept on it at night.

  Back at the clinic, Wang Xu was flipping through medical books by himself, organizing his own medical notes. Like Wang He Nian, he would meticulously record and analyze each patient's condition after every treatment.

  In ancient times, most Chinese medicine practitioners were very busy and spent their whole lives treating illnesses and studying the medical books of their predecessors. Few had time to write books, so there was no systematic reference for traditional Chinese medicine. The greatest legacy left by our ancestors is the case records of traditional Chinese medicine.

  The medical records of traditional Chinese medicine are the treatment cases recorded by each traditional Chinese doctor throughout their lifetime, just like Wang He's medical notes left behind, which are invaluable.

  Busy until after eleven at night, still no one came. Wang Xu looked at the time, closed the door and fell asleep drowsily on the bed.

  "Knock, knock, knock!" Wang Xu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He hastily turned on the light, put on his clothes and went out. Instinctively, he glanced at the wall clock outside and saw that it was already 2 o'clock in the morning.

  He rubbed his somewhat blurry eyes, and Wang Xu opened the door of the clinic, only to see a middle-aged man standing outside with an unpleasant expression. A black sedan was parked on the road in front of the clinic.

  Seeing Wang Xu come out, the middle-aged man hastily said: "Where is your doctor? Hurry up and let him come out."

  "I am the doctor, what's going on?" Wang Xu asked.

  "Are you the doctor?" The middle-aged man looked at Wang Xu with some hesitation, as Wang Xu looked too young.

  However, it was already midnight at this time. The middle-aged man had searched around and found that only the clinic in front of Wang Xu had a 24-hour sign, while other clinics were closed. He gritted his teeth and led Wang Xu to the car, opened the door, and saw a woman in her thirties lying on the seat, wearing a blue long dress. Through the dim light, Wang Xu could see that the woman was very beautiful, but at this time, her face was pale and she had obviously fainted, with her lower body stained red with blood.

  "Bring her in." Wang Xu said in a low voice after taking a close look.

  The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and reluctantly carried the young woman into the clinic.

  "Thud, thud!" The middle-aged man walked over, the woman in his arms bleeding continuously onto the ground, leaving a clear trail of blood.

  As soon as they entered the clinic, Wang Xu didn't have time to ask many questions, he reached out and grabbed the young woman's wrist, felt her pulse for a moment, then hastily pointed to the simple bed not far away: "This is a hemorrhage, quickly put her on the bed."

  The middle-aged man was also shocked by Wang Xu's expression, and he hastily put the young woman in his arms on the bed beside him, anxiously asking: "Doctor, how is she? Is she okay?"

  Wang Xu furrowed his brow, ignoring the other person, and instead lifted up the young woman's skirt, revealing her lower body. The young woman's underwear was already stained red with blood.

  He walked to the side, picked up a pair of scissors, and with a "snip" sound, Wang Xu cut open the young woman's underwear. Upon closer inspection, he saw that her lower body was a mess, constantly bleeding, with white stuff mixed in.

  "What have you done?" Seeing this situation, Wang Xu's face turned very unsightly and he asked in a low voice.

  "What's going on?" The middle-aged man was somewhat flustered and hastily said.

  "This is a hemorrhage caused by a miscarriage at 50 days of pregnancy, due to intense exercise." Wang Xu said with a gloomy face.

  "Pregnancy, miscarriage!" The middle-aged man's face changed instantly, and he couldn't help but take a step back. He then steadied himself and said with a panicked tone: "Doctor, you must save her! Whatever the requirements are, just say it, I'll satisfy them all."

  "These are all afterwords, let's talk about how it came to this?" Wang Xu waved his hand and carefully examined the young woman's condition while asking.

  "This...," the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then stammered: "We did that on the bus... but I didn't know she was pregnant."

  "Car shock!" Wang Xu guessed it was like this, in the middle of the night, two people were indulging in carnal pleasure in the car, and this woman suddenly had a miscarriage. In such a situation, a middle-aged man didn't send her to the hospital, but instead came to this small clinic, definitely because their relationship couldn't be exposed.
