"I've written the prescription, give this to the shopkeeper up front and you'll get the medicine" Wu Li Mei said, giving a small piece of paper to her patient.
An old woman with her teenage son nodded, "Well, ma'am, thank you."
"Thank you back."
The first practice as a doctor has begun, it feels a little nervous and stiff today. Maybe because he had not seen the patient for a long time and diagnosed the disease.
But so far everything seems fine, the practice goes smoothly even though there are not many patients that he can. Many of the people are still hesitant to treat him, some are afraid because they do not have enough money. Though Wu Li Mei himself had made a clear announcement, the contents of the announcement were neatly written by the crown prince and taped in front of the shop. Wu Li Mei could not hope for much because the average poor person could not read.
The great concubine wrote the name of the patient, the disease, the medicine, and the date of his treatment. Recapitulation and structured evidence.
Wu Li Mei looked up, she frowned finding the old woman and her child still sitting in front of her. "What are you waiting for?"
"Emm, sorry madam."
"What's wrong?"
"Do we have to pay?"
"For what?"
"For the treatment you are doing." replied the woman. "Usually a healer will ask for payment for it."
Wu Li Mei smiled behind her veil, the woman always wore a veil so that no one would recognize her, as well as a substitute for a medical mask.
The woman's hand was stretched out, to caress the small patient she had just finished examining. "No need, I've made it clear that the checkup I'm doing is free, you just have to pay for the medicine."
"Yes, of course."
The poor woman who came with her granddaughter could not hide her happy look, she got up while holding her granddaughter. "Thank you very much, madam."
"Together."
They also agreed to redeem the medicine in the pharmacy next to Wu Li Mei's practice room, it was all very easy here, the pharmacy received payment in the form of coins and merchandise. The price of the drug there is also very affordable, and that certainly works.
Madam Wu's Drug Store, within a month this had become a heated conversation among the general public of the Ming Dynasty. The drugstore is getting crowded and the lives of its people are becoming healthier. Not only from the nobility, but also ordinary people do not hesitate to do treatment. The only thing that is unfortunate is that the mistress only opens the practice at the end of the week, even though patients come every day. It also made Wu Li Mei very busy on her workday.
But believe me, all this really makes it a lot more alive. No more getting bored and confused about what to do, no more going around the palace without a clear purpose, no more gardening every day in the various gardens of the palace.
Wu Li Mei stretched because her muscles felt stiff, this was also due to too much sitting. Wu Li Mei only did a brief examination, and the patient himself mentioned his complaint.
Yes, now the Ming Dynasty society is much more advanced.
"Do you want a cup of tea, ma'am?" zhou Fang Yin asked, he and the crown prince were like the wings of Wu Li Mei who never wanted to be left behind.
Wu Li Mei seemed to weigh in before finally nodding, "Alright, maybe a cup of tea will be good before going home" he said as he joined the others.
Meng Suo deftly, before Zhou Fang Yin intervened he first offered to make tea.
"Thank you, Xiao Meng!"
"Together, madam."
