Chapter 107 Fame
"Ms. Chen, you have become very famous these days!" Aunt Zhang walked into the clinic carrying a basket of vegetables, her eyes smiling so much that they formed crescents.
"No, no, Aunt Zhang, I'm flattered by your words." Chen Fang raised her head and saw Aunt Zhang, and couldn't help but smile, "But there are indeed some patients who come to see me, they are all for minor illnesses and pains, I am just doing my duty."
"That's right. Old man Li from the village said that you are a great doctor. I drank your medicine last time and my illness was cured!" Aunt Zhang couldn't wait to share, her eyes full of admiration.
"Thank you for saying that." Chen Fang smiled slightly, but in her heart she longed to do more one day.
At this moment, Li Xiaowu trotted in, looking anxious: "Miss Chen, you have to go and see Xiaohua quickly, she just fell and her leg seems to be injured!"
"Don't worry, take me there!" Chen Fang immediately put away the herbs on the table, followed Li Xiaowu, and silently thought about Xiaohua's situation in her heart.
The two trotted all the way to Xiaohua's house. In the house, the mother held Xiaohua in her arms, her face full of anxiety: "Miss Chen, Xiaohua accidentally fell while playing just now, and her leg seems to be swollen badly."
"Let me see." Chen Fang squatted down and carefully examined Xiaohua's legs. Xiaohua's tears were still on her face, and she wiped them away gently with the back of her hand, trying not to cry.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaohua, Miss Chen will help you." Li Xiaowu comforted her. Xiaohua nodded, although she was still a little scared.
"Do you feel numbness or tingling in your legs?" Chen Fang asked, tilting her head.
Xiaohua shook her head and muttered, "It just hurts..." Her voice was weak and seemed a little innocent.
"Okay, I got it." Chen Fang patted Xiaohua's shoulder gently and began to examine her carefully. "It's probably just a sprain. I'll apply some herbs first and bandage it. You'll be fine in a little while."
Under her guidance, Li Xiaowu and Xiaohua's mother quickly prepared the herbs. Chen Fang selected several analgesic herbs, mixed them into ointment, and gently applied it to Xiaohua's injured area. She also explained: "This medicine can reduce swelling, and then you need to rest more, and then slowly move around after the injury heals."
Xiao Hua nodded repeatedly, with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Miss Chen! I will be careful next time."
"Yes, remember to be obedient." Chen Fang smiled and looked at Xiaohua's serious face, feeling indescribable relief in her heart.
Not far away, the villagers were chatting and praising Chen Fang: "I heard that her medical skills are really good. She also treated Xiao Shentou's stomachache before, and the effect was very good!"
"That's right. My wife's voice became hoarse a few days ago, and she prescribed medicine for her. She got better immediately." Another villager also agreed, his expression full of trust.
Before he finished speaking, a man came running from the other end of the village. It was Uncle Wang, with an anxious look on his face: "Miss Chen, come quickly! My old mother seems to be ill. She said she felt dizzy and panicked this morning!"
"I'll be there right away!" Without even stopping for a moment, Chen Fang quickly followed Uncle Wang, hoping to help the old man as soon as possible.
When she arrived at Uncle Wang's house, the old man was sitting by the bed, his face looked a little pale. Chen Fang walked over, picked up the medicine box, and began to examine the old man.
"Have you been overworked recently?" she asked with concern.
"I've been busy with work in the fields these days and didn't expect this to happen." The old man shook his head slightly, revealing a bit of helplessness in his tone.
"Okay, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You take a rest first, and I'll prepare some porridge for you so you can eat something light." Chen Fang said as she took out herbs from the medicine box and began to prepare them for the old man.
"Thank you, Miss Chen. It's really troublesome for you." The old man said gratefully, and the sadness on his face seemed to be alleviated a little.
"This is what I should do." Chen Fang carefully prepared the medicinal materials and silently vowed in her heart that she would pass on more knowledge and skills to the villagers so that more people could benefit from it.
After Chen Fang's careful treatment, everyone in the village quietly felt a new hope. On the village trails, more and more people came to the clinic to seek comfort and help. Chen Fang's reputation spread far and wide, and he became known as the "miracle doctor" by the villagers.
At this moment, brisk footsteps were heard outside. Chen Fang looked up and found an official in a green robe. He looked solemn, but could not hide his curiosity. When the official approached, Chen Fang noticed his official seal and was startled. He stood up quickly and saluted, saying, "Hello, sir. I am Chen Fang. I have never asked for your name."
"I'm Li Ming, the county magistrate here." The official smiled and said gently, "I heard that Miss Chen Fang is a great doctor, so I came to visit her. Please don't be offended."
"Mr. Li, thank you for your compliment." Chen Fang was slightly startled, but she was secretly thinking about the official's purpose. Seeing that Li Ming looked a little nervous, she continued in a calm tone: "I wonder if Mr. Li has any advice for you today?"
Li Ming stood up straight and said in a serious tone: "I was at the market a few days ago and happened to hear people praising you. I admire you for curing illnesses and saving lives for the villagers. As the county magistrate, I have something in mind that I would like to ask you."
Chen Fang was stunned, thinking to himself, if what the official said was true, it would undoubtedly be an honor, but he also felt a little pressured. "Mr. Li, you are too kind. Please tell me, if I can help, I will do my best to help."
"This time I want to ask you about a case of a seriously ill patient." Li Ming paused, his eyes gradually firmed up, "I have a friend whose son has a difficult and complicated disease. He has been treated to no avail and has almost lost hope of survival. I heard that you are a skilled doctor, so I came to ask for your advice. I want to know if there is any feasible solution."
Hearing this, Chen Fang was shocked. Seriously ill patients always inspire awe. She asked cautiously, "Did the patient describe the symptoms in detail? Can you tell me about the condition?"
Li Ming nodded slightly and began to tell the story: "The patient's name is Xiaozhi, about eight years old. He has been weak since childhood. A few months ago, he started to have a high fever, headaches, and vomiting. He went to many clinics but none of them worked. Now he is gradually losing weight, his face is pale, and he is basically unable to move."
"An eight-year-old child..." Chen Fang frowned and thought, and immediately became alert. The child's physical condition is much more fragile than that of an adult. "Can you describe his current pulse? Perhaps I can determine the cause of his illness based on the pulse."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he said hastily, "I went to several clinics with his father. The doctors took his pulse one by one and seemed very confused. They repeatedly prescribed several medicines, but none of them worked."
"Is that so..." Chen Fang whispered to herself, thinking in her heart, she asked Li Ming: "Does Xiaozhi have any other plans? For example, a change in diet, or mental stimulation?"
"His father said that before Xiaozhi fell ill, he had accidentally seen a wild beast. After that, he lost his appetite and became increasingly thin." Li Ming had a bitter look on his face. He felt distressed when he thought of the child's delicate appearance.
"So it was caused by shock..." Chen Fang was silent for a moment, and then he understood something. "If I were to treat Xiao Zhi, I would first need to help him regain his appetite and relieve his anxiety, and then prescribe the appropriate medicine based on his pulse and physical condition."
Seeing Chen Fang so determined, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of trust in his heart: "Miss, you are really a miracle doctor. I will take you to see Xiao Zhi right now. I hope you can help him get rid of his illness."
"Okay, please lead the way." Chen Fang watched Li Ming walk ahead, thinking to herself that this was an intersection of fate and an opportunity for her to display her medical skills. She hoped that through her efforts, she could bring a glimmer of hope of life to this unfortunate child.
