Chapter 108 Asking for Advice on the Condition
"What's going on?" Li Ming muttered to himself, frowning slightly. His attendant, Xiao Zhang, heard his master's question and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, I heard that this doctor is very skilled and many people come here to seek medical advice."
Li Ming nodded, his eyes still on the line. In the line, there was an old woman, holding a cane tightly in her hand, with a dazed look on her face, as if she was thinking about something. Li Ming felt pity for them, so he said to Xiao Zhang: "Go ask the old woman why she is waiting here."
Xiao Zhang responded and walked up to the old woman and asked respectfully, "Grandma, are you waiting here to see a doctor?"
The old woman raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and said slowly: "Yes, my grandson is sick. I heard that this doctor can cure his illness, so I took the trouble to come here early to queue up."
Xiao Zhang was shocked and quickly turned back to report to Li Ming. Li Ming was moved and remembered that when he was young, his mother had waited for a long time in the cold wind to treat him. He walked forward and asked softly, "Grandma, what's wrong with your grandson?"
The old woman sighed and said weakly, "He has been sickly since he was young. This time he has a high fever and the medicine doesn't help. I am really worried."
Li Ming's heart tightened, and he thought of the indifferent officials he had seen in the court. He couldn't help but feel worried about the medical situation in this society. He turned to Xiao Zhang and said, "Let's go find that doctor and see if he can help."
Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement, and the two walked into the clinic. When Li Ming entered the clinic, he saw a middle-aged doctor busy at work, holding a prescription in his hand, and in front of him was a young mother with an anxious look on her face.
"Doctor, my child has a fever. Can you please come and check him out as soon as possible?" the young mother pleaded, helplessness evident in her voice.
The doctor frowned slightly, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Please wait, I will treat you as soon as possible. I will do my best for every patient."
Li Ming saw this and admired the doctor. He walked forward and said, "My name is Li Ming, nice to meet you, doctor. I heard that you are a great doctor, so I came to visit you."
The doctor looked up, slightly startled, and then respectfully responded: "Master Li, you are too kind. But I am just doing my humble part to cure diseases and save lives."
Li Ming nodded and then asked, "Now that there are so many patients, do you feel overwhelmed?"
The doctor sighed, his eyes showing a trace of fatigue: "It is true. The number of patients is increasing, and I am unable to handle it alone. I hope that more doctors can join us to reduce some of the burden."
Li Ming suddenly decided to do something for the doctor. He said, "I will report to the court and try to provide you with more support and resources so that more doctors can come here to practice medicine."
The doctor nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Master Li. If you can do this, you will definitely be able to save more lives."
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. Li Ming and the doctor looked at each other and hurried out of the clinic. In the queue, there was a young man who was arguing with other patients because he had been waiting for too long and was very emotional.
"Why are you so slow! I've been waiting for so long, can't you be faster?" the young man roared, his face full of anxiety.
Li Ming stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Please be quiet, the doctors are doing their best to treat every patient. Please believe that your patience will bring you health."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize his mistake. He lowered his head and quietly returned to the team. The other patients also quieted down. Li Ming's voice seemed particularly powerful at this moment.
Li Ming turned to the doctor and said, "I will arrange for someone to help you share the pressure as soon as possible. I hope more people can receive timely treatment."
The doctor nodded gratefully, with hope in his eyes: "Thank you, Master Li, your support will be my greatest motivation."
"Sir Li, please wait a moment. I will go call Doctor Chen Fang." The doctor said respectfully and then walked into the inner room.
Li Ming stood there, thinking to himself. At this moment, the door curtain was gently lifted, and Chen Fang walked out. She was wearing a plain white dress, with a pretty face and gentle and firm eyes. Li Ming was shocked, thinking that this female doctor seemed different.
"Lord Li, you are here." Chen Fang smiled slightly, her tone gentle, like a spring breeze.
"Doctor Chen, I've heard of your great name for a long time." Li Ming bowed and showed respect to her. "I've heard that you are an excellent doctor, so I came to ask for your advice on my condition."
"Come in." Chen Fang motioned Li Ming to come in, then closed the door. The room suddenly became quiet and warm.
Li Ming sat down and glanced at the herbs on the table. His admiration for the female doctor deepened. He asked, "Doctor Chen, there are so many patients recently. Do you feel overwhelmed?"
Chen Fang shook her head gently, her expression firm: "Although I feel tired, the pain of every patient is a burden in my heart. I am willing to do my best to help them."
Li Ming was moved by her persistence and thought to himself: "If I can provide you with more support, maybe I can ease your burden."
"Sir Li, what condition do you want to know about?" Chen Fang smiled slightly, her eyes as gentle as water.
"I heard that there are many patients queuing outside. Can you tell me about some common diseases?" Li Ming asked seriously.
"Of course." Chen Fang nodded and began to talk. "The most common diseases recently are high fever and cough, especially among children. Fever is particularly serious. Many families lack timely medical resources, which leads to worsening of their illness."
"So serious!" Li Ming's heart tightened, thinking of the anxious young mother, "Then how did you treat them?"
"I will prescribe different medicines for each patient based on their symptoms," Chen Fang explained earnestly. "For high fever, I will use drugs that clear away heat and detoxify; and for cough, I will use herbs that suppress cough. I carefully consider each prescription and strive to make it effective."
Li Ming nodded, and admired her medical skills even more. He continued to ask: "Do you have any special requirements in the selection of medicinal materials?"
"Of course." Chen Fang smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in her eyes. "The quality of medicinal materials directly affects the efficacy. I often go to the market to select fresh medicinal materials in person to ensure that every dose of the prescription can achieve the greatest effect."
After hearing this, Li Ming secretly admired this female doctor, thinking that she was not only skilled in medicine, but also full of responsibility towards her patients. He couldn't help but ask, "So, do you hope that more doctors can join you to help you share the pressure?"
"Yes." Chen Fang nodded, with a hint of expectation in her tone, "I hope there will be more like-minded people who can work together for the health of patients."
Li Ming's heart moved, and he decided to win more support for her. He said: "I will report to the court and try to provide you with more resources and manpower, so that more doctors can come here to practice medicine."
Chen Fang looked at Li Ming gratefully, with a touch of emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Li. Your support will be my greatest motivation."
At this moment, there was another noise outside. Li Ming and Chen Fang looked at each other and felt a sense of urgency in their hearts. Li Ming stood up and walked to the window. He saw several patients in the queue who seemed anxious because they had been waiting for too long.
"I'll go outside and comfort them." Li Ming said to Chen Fang in a firm tone.
"Please be careful." Chen Fang said with concern, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Li Ming smiled and made up his mind. He walked out of the clinic and faced the waiting patients with a loud and firm voice: "Everyone, please be patient. Doctor Chen is doing his best to treat every patient. Please believe that your patience will bring you health."
