The rise of the poor

Chapter 2287 Truly a Divine Doctor

So, supported by his two lackeys, Luo Longwen left the inn and asked for directions to the clinic.

"Sir, this clinic looks quite impressive; the doctors inside must all be like this." The lackey gave a thumbs up.

"Hmm, not bad. Let's go in and have them take a look at me." Luo Longwen was also very satisfied with the size of the clinic. With such a large clinic, the doctors inside must be highly skilled.

Upon entering, the medical apprentice greeted the three and asked if they needed medicine or a medical consultation.

"We need to see a doctor. Please have your best doctor examine our master," a lackey said as he stepped forward.

"The doctors at our clinic are all renowned physicians for miles around. Coincidentally, three of our doctors are seeing patients today. If necessary, we can also conduct a joint consultation. May I ask what's wrong with your husband?"

The apprentice at the medical clinic asked confidently.

“My master is in pain after being slapped; his ribs are broken,” the lackey replied, pointing to Luo Longwen’s ribs.

Upon hearing the words "fractured ribs with pain after rib fracture," the apprentice's eyes immediately lit up. The doctor had just instructed him to pay attention to patients with fractured ribs or who claimed to have pain after rib fracture, and to make sure to remind them if such cases occurred.

Now, they're saying it hurts after being slapped, and they're saying their ribs are broken—it all makes sense.

Needless to say, the person in charge had asked them to pay special attention.

"Are your eyes lighting up?!" Luo Longwen noticed that the apprentice at the medical clinic glanced at them after hearing what they said, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Master has a good eye. My eyes just lit up for a moment. The reason is that our master is an expert in treating sprains and bruises and reconnecting broken bones. Within a radius of a hundred miles, if our master says he is second, no one dares to say he is first."

The apprentice at the medical clinic was a shrewd person. After being pointed out by Luo Longwen, he readily admitted it and even came up with a convincing explanation.

"Oh my, sir, you are truly blessed! This clinic is an expert in bone setting and repair. You've struck gold this time."

"Master is truly blessed with great wealth and honor; wherever he goes, he is favored by the heavens."

The two lackeys kept flattering him.

"Please wait in the private room, sir. I'll go fetch my doctor." The apprentice led Luo Longwen and his companions to a private room and told them to wait a moment while he went to fetch the doctor.

"Invite all three of you gentlemen here and have them give me a joint consultation," Luo Longwen called out to him.

“If the three of us doctors were to have a joint consultation, the cost would be quite high,” the apprentice at the clinic said, glancing at Luo Longwen, then hesitating to speak.

"Who are you looking down on? We're not short of money." Luo Longwen's lackey patted his sleeves with a smug look on his face.

"It's my fault for being blind, sir. Please wait a moment while I go and fetch the doctors." The apprentice at the medical clinic turned around with a forced smile.

Soon, three doctors were summoned.

With his white hair and youthful face, and flowing robes, he looked very convincing.

Three doctors sat opposite Luo Longwen, taking turns to check his pulse and pressing on his injured ribs to ask if he was in pain. They then asked him to open his mouth and stick out his tongue to examine the color of his tongue coating. After a thorough examination, the three doctors whispered among themselves.

"My lord, you have two broken ribs. The pain from broken bones is commonly known as 'post-fracture pain'," the oldest doctor said to Luo Longwen, stroking his beard.

Pain after being slapped.

Upon hearing the doctor use that word, Luo Longwen felt a little more at ease, and his doubts about Ah San lessened.

It seems I was overthinking it; Dr. Wang's medical skills are indeed reliable.

"Through our pulse diagnosis, we can feel the coldness in your pulse, and the pulse is weak and shallow. If we are not mistaken, you must have caught a cold some time ago! Your tongue coating is white with some red granules on it. In addition to the cold, there is also some toxin in your body. This is a sign of cold toxicity."

Another doctor continued.

"Your pulse indicates a state of shock. If I'm not mistaken, you must have been frightened some time ago. With both wind-cold and cold poisoning, and the shock, could you have accidentally fallen into the sea?! And that's where the broken ribs came from!"

The third doctor looked at Luo Longwen and said.

"Holy crap, he's a miracle doctor! He could even diagnose my husband's accidental fall into the sea just by looking at his pulse!"

Luo Longwen's lackeys gaped in astonishment and repeatedly praised the miracle doctor.

Luo Longwen was also impressed by their medical skills. Just by taking his pulse, they were able to diagnose that he had been frightened, had a cold and cold poison, and further diagnosed that he had broken his ribs due to the shock of falling into the sea. They were really amazing.

"Miracle doctor, I wonder how my injuries are now? I was on the ship some time ago and there was a lack of medical care and medicine."

Luo Longwen praised the three doctors and then inquired about the current condition of his injuries.

Luo Longwen was concerned about whether his injuries had improved or worsened, and wanted to further verify Ah San's medical skills.

Luo Longwen still had some doubts, after all, he had jumped so wildly that day that he even lost control of his bladder, which seemed abnormal no matter how he thought about it.

"You are too modest, sir. Without medical care and medicine, you could not have recovered so well. Your injuries are healing very well. The cold toxins in your body have been basically expelled, and the broken ribs are slowly healing."

"Your noble esteemed guest must have had a highly skilled doctor on board, which is why you received timely and proper treatment and have recovered to your current state. The reason you are here for treatment is probably because your ship did not have enough medicinal herbs. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. We have a full range of medicinal herbs here. We will prepare several courses of treatment for you later, and you can also go back and have the doctor on your ship take a look."

"As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. For your broken bone to heal completely, it will take at least a hundred days."

Three doctors held a joint consultation.

"Doctor, I took some medicine a few days ago and now I have severe diarrhea that's almost out of control. Is that a bit abnormal?"

Luo Longwen asked.

“Inappropriate use of severe punishment is not advisable. The nobleman has fallen into the sea and has been exposed to cold toxins, which must be expelled. Does the nobleman have any century-old ginseng or he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that are over fifty years old on his ship?” the senior doctor asked.

Luo Longwen shook his head. Who keeps these medicines on their boat?

"If these two herbs are present to neutralize the toxins, the detoxification process will be gentler. However, if these two herbs are absent, the detoxification process will be more intense. But it is not possible to fail to expel the cold toxins. If the cold toxins are not expelled in time, tuberculosis will not be far away."

The older doctor stroked his beard and said.

"I see, thank you for your explanation, doctor."

Luo Longwen was relieved. It wasn't that the doctor on the ship was incompetent, but rather that the medicinal herbs on the ship were inadequate. The doctor had no choice but to use strong medicine to expel the cold toxins from his body.

Let him run away; it's a million times better than getting tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis was an incurable disease in ancient times! Once contracted, death was the only outcome! (End of Chapter)
