"Dr. Lu, what's going on with my daughter?"
"Is it because of her menstrual period?"
Wang Yuanfeng asked anxiously.
"Let me check the pulse first."
"Quick, give your hand to Dr. Lu." Wang Yuanfeng turned to her slightly shy daughter and said.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Dr. Lu."
Under Wang Yuanfeng's urging, the girl awkwardly extended her slender arm.
Lu Xuan placed his fingers on it and carefully sensed.
[It seems to be a gynecological issue, which Dr. Lu is good at handling!]
[It's boring, not a complicated case; I can't even muster any interest. When will a patient come that even Dr. Lu can't handle!]
[How can you speak like that, isn't a world without illness better?]
[Do you think that's possible?]
[Dreams are nice, but reality is even harsher than imagined.]
[Stop it, instead of wasting time, why not discuss this girl's condition.]
[What's there to say, the pulse is deep, thin, and weak, tongue is light, with a thin white coating. Together with her previous symptoms, the diagnosis is not difficult: the patient is young and weak, and she's a student, so studying at her age must be intense. Overthinking has damaged her spleen, and with spleen damage comes insufficiency of central qi, imbalance of the Chong and Ren Meridians, and a disordered sea of blood, which over time affects the kidneys.
The kidneys are responsible for storing essence, and deficiency in kidney qi leads to a failure in sealing and storing, hence the spleen's inability to control the blood. Kidney deficiency causes the Chong and Ren Meridians to lack nourishment, leading to premature and excessive menstruation, lingering and incessant."]
[Dry ginger, you still have that hot temper; can't you be a bit calmer?]
[I'm a fire-boosting herbal medicine; you want me to be calm?]
[Never mind, forget I said anything.]
While Lu Xuan was feeling the pulse, a cacophony filled his ears.
Especially dry ginger, whose temper was still fiery.
However, what dry ginger said wasn't wrong. Can you make a fire-boosting herb quiet down, is it possible?
The more Heart's Voice he listened to, the deeper Lu Xuan's insights became.
Previously, facing these herbal complaints, he would feel a bit speechless. But thinking about it now, this group isn't that annoying; they're quite endearing, like a group of erudite teachers with thousands of years of experience, teaching the same student in their way.
And that student is Lu Xuan.
One could say, without these teachers, Lu Xuan might not have encountered many patients in his lifetime. Not to mention, like now, his appointments online have to be snapped up.
Not to mention the invaluable clinical experience accumulated over this period.
Now, he feels only gratitude toward these teachers.
Without their "tireless guidance," his current success wouldn't be possible.
Although there's still a long way to go to achieve greatness, to have achieved this in just half a month, Lu Xuan is quite satisfied.
As long as he keeps learning diligently, becoming a great doctor is only a matter of time.
[Dry ginger, since you've said so much, why not elaborate on this menstrual disorder?]
[Alright, though my understanding of this condition isn't as thorough as Shu Di's, I know a bit. Since you asked, if I don't say, it might appear as if I'm bluffing.]
["Su Wen·Ancient Naive Theory" states: For women, at two times seven, heavenly dew arrives, the Ren Meridian connects, the Tai Chong Meridian thrives, the moon's event occurs as expected, leading to fertility.]
[I asked you to discuss treatment, not to recite scriptures.]
[What's wrong with reciting a bit?]
Dry ginger felt speechless, then continued;
[Many women's menstrual issues occur prematurely or irregularly, but upon analysis, there are roughly three main reasons...]
Hearing this, Lu Xuan became more attentive. Certain things cannot be learned in school, so he cherished what these teachers said.
"Dr. Lu, why is my daughter's menstruation always irregular? If it was like ours, we could let it go, but she's just a child. Normally, she shouldn't experience early menstruation!"
Lu Xuan was fully immersed in the Heart's Voice, and only recovered when Wang Yuanfeng questioned again. He pressed a bit on his fingers: "Ms. Wang, please don't worry. I have a rough idea about your daughter's condition."
"Really, Dr. Lu?"
"Can you tell me about it?"
Wang Yuanfeng looked at Lu Xuan with delight.
"Yes."
Lu Xuan nodded, but then turned to Su Kenan instead: "Why don't you check the pulse."
Su Kenan remained obedient, doing whatever Lu Xuan asked her to do.
After Su Kenan felt the pulse, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "You go ahead and share your understanding first. I'll point out any inaccuracies and fill in the gaps."
"Okay."
Su Kenan gave a gentle nod.
Wang Yuanfeng looked astonished, her gaze shifting between the two, and suddenly realized why the last person stayed in the clinic for so long.
It turned out Dr. Lu was mentoring an apprentice!
While it might take more time this way, Wang Yuanfeng understood that whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, doctors are generally trained this way. The patient's role is to cooperate.
With this thought, she didn't say anything further.
However, when it came to discussing menstrual issues, Su Kenan couldn't help but blush: "The patient's pulse is thin, and thin pulse is often seen in cases of qi and blood deficiency with considerable dampness.
The light tongue with thin white coating might be related to qi and blood deficiency, insufficient heart blood, or yang deficiency.
Considering the symptoms comprehensively, the irregular menstruation might be due to qi and blood deficiency?"
After speaking, she instinctively glanced at Lu Xuan: "I... I don't know if what I'm saying is correct."
"Correct, but not entirely."
Lu Xuan said calmly.
Upon hearing the first part, Su Kenan was delighted, but as soon as the second part reached her ears, she couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated, drooping her head, slightly discouraged.
