Medicine prescriptions are not fixed; responding to different complications that appear on the patients, the doctors would also make some adjustments based on their years of experience.
Wei Jinyi and Xiumei were also not idle. Although they didn’t understand medical skills, there were many things they could do, such as moving things, processing herbs, and assisting Wei Ruo like bodyguards.
Xiumei was used to doing these, but seeing Wei Jinyi, who was always polite and refined, doing these things, she felt somewhat incredible.
She heard people in the prefecture saying that the second young master hardly had any dealings with the people in the prefecture, let alone those outside, and seemed indifferent to everything.
But now he was helping his mistress do things that only servants would do in ordinary times, it seems that the second young master treats their mistress very differently.
###
After the continuous efforts of six doctors including Wei Ruo from the first to the third day of the New Year, the condition of the first eight patients who had received treatment had significantly improved.
Among them, Police Chief Xing who received the treatment first and had a robust physique, had fully recovered, and was no different from a healthy person.
Once confirmed the effective prescription, it was needed to start boiling the medicine in large quantities and deliver it to all patients inside and outside the city.
However, a large amount of medicinal materials had not been purchased yet, and Madam Yuan was still trying to find a solution.
Right now, what Wei Ruo and others could use were the existing stocks in the city. They had moved all the medicinal materials from various pharmacies in the city.
Due to the disturbance of the Japanese pirates and the constant wars, the whole Taizhou prefecture had been in a state of medicinal material scarcity for many years. It was difficult to obtain even more supplies after the intervention of Mr. and Mrs. Yuan.
But if there were only these medicinal materials, it would be far from enough. Just these few days of medication had already used nearly half of the amount, and the remaining would only be enough for about ten people at most.
Yet, the number of sick people was far more than that, and there were at least over a hundred people infected with this disease as far as they knew.
There were also many unknown cases, those who were unable to notify the Government Office, would not make a small figure.
This made the doctors who were originally supposed to be happy fell silent.
Dr. Cheng regretfully said, “It’s hard to come up with a plan, but it’s defeated by the lack of medicinal materials! People are dying every day from this disease! If the medicine could be used immediately, many people would have a chance to live!”
The other doctors also showed painful expressions, one after another.
Seeing everyone’s downturned mood, Wei Ruo said, “Although we are temporarily out of medicine, we still have acupuncture techniques. The treatment of the previous eight patients has already shown that my acupuncture technique is effective and can help patients alleviate their conditions to a certain extent.”
Hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the other five doctors all looked at her in unison.
Doctor Cheng said, “But Wei Ruo, you’re the only one who knows this. With patients all over the city, how can you save them all?”
Wei Ruo said: “I am not the only one, don’t we still have you?”
Doctor Cheng said, “But we don’t understand the set of acupuncture techniques you use.”
All the doctors knew acupuncture, which was a basic training for them, but the skill level varied. Some were more skilled, some were not so much.
“I will teach you the set of acupuncture techniques that I use on patients, so it won’t just be me,” Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, everyone showed incredulous expressions.
Would this young master actually share her unique skills with them?
As doctors, they knew how precious a sophisticated acupuncture technique was. Some doctors could become renowned in their field just by having a technique that was particularly effective at treating a certain disease, allowing them to live without worries.
Some people had to kowtow to a master and enter his school to learn a sophisticated needle technique.
Such precious things, most people would not be willing to easily teach to others, especially their peers.
Wei Ruo explained, “In fact, you have all been present when I applied acupuncture in the past few days. If you wanted to learn secretly, you could have done so already, but you didn’t. After watching half of my treatment during the first time, you all avoided watching the whole process after that.” Doctor Cheng said, “This is the rule, you can’t learn secretly without becoming apprentices. We can’t break the rules just because it’s a special situation now.”
Wei Ruo said, “It shows that all of you gentlemen have pure hearts. Teaching my method of acupuncture to you would benefit more people, and there is nothing inappropriate about it. Moreover, it is a critical time now. Every additional person who knows this technique can save more lives. How can I worry about my own interests?”
This acupuncture technique was only one of the many she mastered, and she didn’t mind giving this one away.
Moreover, when her master taught her, he said that good medical skills were meant to benefit others, and as long as the people learning had a genuine medical heart, they did not have to be rigid about being peers or opponents.
Wei Ruo’s words left the remaining five doctors at a loss for words, with surprise, excitement, and gratitude written all over their faces.
In the end, the oldest, Dr. Cheng, spoke on behalf of everyone: “Master Wei, you have a noble character. We are grateful for your kindness.”
At this moment, there was no need to say much more. Only by learning well and then going to treat more people, could they live up to Master Wei’s trust in them.
Wei Ruo nodded, then took out paper and pen, skillfully drawing the acupoints on the human body.
Then, she circled the acupuncture points on the image in order and explained to everyone the purpose of each point.
Everyone listened attentively, showing surprised expressions from time to time, marveling at the sophistication of the needle technique.
At first, they only knew that this needle technique combined with the medicine they discussed was effective for patients. But today, after listening to Master Wei’s explanation, they truly felt the mystery of it and Master Wei’s superb medical skills.
After Wei Ruo finished the explanation, she asked everyone, “Are there any questions?”
Everyone shook their head to indicate that they had no questions.
Master Wei had explained to them in great detail, and they were all people with a foundation in medical skills. If there were any issues, they would probably be unable to memorize everything the first time around. They would need to copy the diagram and look at it repeatedly.
“Let’s get started then, time waits for no one,” Wei Ruo said.
Everyone nodded.
Then, everyone split up and went to the homes of the registered patients in the designated areas to treat the patients.
Some people suggested gathering these patients in one place for ease of control and treatment.
However, with the current weather conditions and snow and ice on the roads, moving patients, especially those in serious condition, would be extremely difficult. They would have to worry about the patients getting injured again from the bumps and cold on the road, and about more people being infected along the way.
So after discussing, they decided it would be harder for Wei Ruo and the other doctors. They would do their best to visit these people’s homes to provide treatment. For those with milder conditions, they could ask relatives to come to the Government Office to collect medicine for them to take home..
