Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 555 - 554: Appreciation

He Duanrui, caught in a moment of indecision, glimpsed Ge Dongxu, who looked entirely composed, and couldn't help but remember how an old woman's stomach inflammation and bloating had been cured by his prescription. He felt a stir in his heart and said, "Ge, Song, come over and help examine this patient and prescribe something."

"Sister Liu, these two young doctors are students of Doctor He. They were the ones who prepared my medicine last time, very responsibly," the old woman, having been treated for her chronic illness, held Doctor He in high esteem, which extended to Ge Dongxu and Song Yongnan. Seeing this, she especially helped to explain.

Upon hearing this, Ge Dongxu and Song Yongnan smiled at the old woman and Sister Liu. Song Yongnan then went first to take Sister Liu's pulse, looked at her tongue, and asked some questions before stepping back to ponder with furrowed brows.

After Song Yongnan stepped down, Ge Dongxu followed, taking the pulse expertly, inspecting the tongue, and asking questions. In fact, he had already had a good idea of the diagnosis while He Duanrui was examining Sister Liu.

"Ge, what is your diagnosis?" This time, He Duanrui didn't immediately write a prescription but waited for Ge Dongxu to finish his diagnosis before asking him directly. As for Song Yongnan, being his student, he knew his foundation; under these circumstances, there was no need to ask him.

"It should be a case of Yin Yang deficiency," Ge Dongxu replied.

Upon hearing this, He Duanrui pondered for a moment, then took the patient's pulse again, looked at her tongue, thoroughly examined her previous medical records, and some prescriptions, his eyes gradually lighting up.

"Why do you determine the patient has Yin Yang deficiency?" He Duanrui re-examined the patient and then asked Ge Dongxu.

"Auntie Liu often suffers from a sensation of heat in the heart, which shows a tendency to 'fire up.' However, having taken laxatives for many years, especially after recently taking 'Longdan Xiegan' pills, her constipation has worsened. She feels cold, is short of breath and lazy in speech, cannot tolerate labor, is easily fatigued and lethargic, and her sleep is disturbed. It is evident that Auntie Liu's condition is no longer just 'firing up' but has deteriorated significantly due to long-term medication, leading to a Yin Yang deficiency," Ge Dongxu replied.

As He Duanrui's own medical skills were also competent, having been reminded by Ge Dongxu, he had already subtly confirmed the diagnosis of Yin Yang deficiency during his re-examination. Now, asking Ge Dongxu again served to test Dongxu's ability to see if his diagnosis was accurate or merely coincidental, and to verify his own thoughts as well.

Now that Ge Dongxu had spoken, confirming what he had thought during his second diagnosis, He Duanrui nodded repeatedly, his face showing surprise and admiration as he said, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. Since it has been confirmed as Yin Yang deficiency, what prescription do you intend to write?"

"Since the diagnosis is Yin Yang deficiency, it's natural to use a method that evenly supplements Yin and Yang and moistens to relieve constipation. The prescription can include: 30 grams of Angelica, 60 grams of Cistanche, 60 grams of unprocessed Scutellaria, 30 grams of honey-fried licorice…" Ge Dongxu replied smoothly and methodically.

Last time, when Ge Dongxu prescribed medicine for the old woman, his doses, particularly of aconite, were startlingly strong, even causing He Duanrui to be alarmed. Eventually, even with the use of Ge Dongxu's prescription, the dosage of aconite had to be slightly reduced. Thus, although the old woman's gastritis and bloating were cured by Ge Dongxu, leaving He Duanrui both surprised and admiring, he also felt somewhat apprehensive, always sensing that Ge Dongxu had a nature of being 'bold and reckless'.

However, this time He Duanrui had thought that, given Ge Dongxu's bold nature, he would probably continue to choose ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and aconite to support Yang. Unexpectedly, Ge Dongxu chose cistanche and raw scutellaria to nourish and lift Yang. Not only that, Ge Dongxu seemed to anticipate He Duanrui's confusion. After explaining his prescription, he specifically clarified, "Though ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and aconite can support Yang, they are too harsh and easily harm Yin. Aunt Liu suffers from deficiency in both Yin and Yang, so these should not be used."

Upon hearing this, even someone with He Duanrui's medical expertise was greatly shocked. He then realized that Ge Dongxu's grasp on prescribing medications was precise, adaptable, and far from reliant on just strong doses.

"Excellent! Excellent!" He Duanrui mulled over Ge Dongxu's prescription carefully, increasingly finding it both ingenious and stable. He couldn't help but repeatedly express his admiration, then unchangeably wrote down the prescription as Ge Dongxu had dictated.

Watching his mentor write down the prescription exactly as Ge Dongxu had instructed, Song Yongnan was once again utterly dumbfounded.

"Song, you'll still be the one to prepare the medication, but Aunt Liu's medicine isn't that particular. If she prefers to have it brewed here, help her with that too. Ge Dongxu doesn't need to go this time, he'll continue to stay here," He Duanrui instructed after prescribing the medication, offering further instructions before addressing Song Yongnan.

With an admiring and envious glance at Ge Dongxu, Song Yongnan took the two patients and left the clinic.

After Song Yongnan left, a few more patients came.

He Duanrui let Ge Dongxu join him in examining all of them, and naturally, Ge Dongxu's diagnoses were all accurate.

"Dongxu, to be honest, with your level of medical skill, you won't learn anything by my side. If it's just for an internship certificate, that's fine. You can spend time here, and I'll certainly give you an excellent review. However, since you're here, it's better to learn something than to waste time. How about I talk to Professor Tang, and ask him to take you under his wing starting next week, or maybe arrange for another well-known traditional doctor in the department to mentor you? If you want to work at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, I can also help recommend you." During a quiet moment at 4:30 in the afternoon, when there were few patients, He Duanrui thought for a while and solemnly spoke to Ge Dongxu.

"Thank you, Director He, you are a good doctor. Since you think so, there's no need to bother you; I'll speak to Professor Tang myself. To be truthful, I'm quite familiar with him. I had actually prepared to stay here this time, simply getting accustomed to the environment and considering my options privately before committing. But please, let's keep this between us for now," Ge Dongxu replied with a sincere expression, not wanting to conceal too much from He Duanrui, thus revealing some information to him.

"So that's it. No wonder Professor Tang took special care to make arrangements for an intern like you. I won't interfere then; you discuss it with Professor Tang. You are so young yet already possess such high proficiency in traditional medicine—I personally hope very much that you can stay with us at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital," He Duanrui said, initially stunned, then quickly smiled understandingly.

However, all He Duanrui could think of was that Ge Dongxu, being so young with such a high level of expertise in traditional medicine, would have more opportunities to choose where to work than others. As for the rest, even if He Duanrui could think creatively, he would never imagine that Tang Yiyuan was essentially a semi-student of Ge Dongxu's. Once he stayed, he would become the behind-the-scenes mentor for the entire department of internal medicine!
