Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor

100 Chapter

When he returned to his cottage, he received the phone—that was Zhou Xiong. He and his son had arrived in Lianshan County. He wanted to know when the right time to see his son was related to his illness.

Wang Yao hesitated for a moment before asking, “Where are you staying? I'll come to you.”

Zhou Xiong told him his address. They agreed to meet the following afternoon. This time, it would be Wang Yao's first house call.

I wonder what kind of strange illness that child has.

The next day, after ending his work routine and breathing exercises, Wang Yao informed his family and drove the car to Lianshan County. Zhou Xiong and his son had chosen a familiar location to meet Wang Yao—Hotel Shenghua. He has visited this place more than once.

When Wang Yao arrived, Zhou Xiong was already waiting outside. In one of the hotel rooms, Wang Yao met Zhou Xiong's son, a thin boy who looked no more than seven or eight years old. His body was thin; his face was pale and his eyes were less alert.

“Kang, call Mr. Wang.”

“Hai, Mr. Wang.” The voice of the child was faint and lifeless.

Although Wang Yao had not studied the diagnosis method “search”, he was able to conclude that the child's constitution was weak. The voice of the child was also weak and lacking stamina and vigor. He listened to the child's breathing; it was short and rushed, an indication that the lungs were not functioning properly. He further observed that the child's breath smelled sour. This showed that her stomach and intestines were not functioning properly; she was suffering from indigestion.

Although the heater in the hotel room and room was warm, the boy was wearing a padded jacket and gloves. It was obvious that he was afraid of the cold.

“What diseases does your son suffer from?” Wang Yao turned around to ask Zhou Xiong.

Zhou Xiong did not speak. He walked in front of the child, gently taking off his gloves and exposing the child's left hand to Wang Yao. It was skinny and skinny like a twig, almost like chicken claws and extremely dry. It looked like a crack in the earth that was fractured and had no life. Next, Zhou Xiong took off his son's jacket and rolled up his sleeves. The child's left arm looked similar—skinny and dry.

Whahuh?

Wang Yao had never seen this disease before— was unheard of.

Mission: Earn recognition of 100 patients or family members in 100 days. This cannot be repeated.

Rewards for success: One medical skill point, one formula, and one herbal seed bag.

Punishment for failure: Subtract three random attributes by half.

He received a notification from the magic apothecary system at that moment.

One hundred days, the confession of one hundred men.

It's not an easy task. Even with the patient's family members, he had to meet many patients. Fortunately, this time the system did not restrict it to making voluntary home calls.

“Doctor Wang, will you check it out?” Zhou Xiang asked after seeing Wang Yao speechlessly staring at his son's arm.

“Let me take his pulse first.”

Wang Yao sat down and took the pulse of the child by putting his fingers on the small wrist. He could feel a faint pulse, unlike the pulse of a seven or eight-year-old in general. Children of this age will usually be full of energy and this will be reflected in their pulse. However, the pulse of this child is the opposite of — is weak. There are indications of organ failure and the most frightening is from the pulse condition, the child's arm as if it does not exist. When touching it, the arm feels cooler than normal body temperature.

“When does he get sick?”

“Three years ago.”

Three years ago? Wang Yao frowned. He lightly touched the child's left arm.

“Do you feel anything?”

“Ya.”

“No.”

Good he felt something. After the examination, Wang Yao had a general understanding of the child's illness.

Channels and collateral on the left arm are blocked. His muscles had stopped developing and there was considerable damage to his skin. Over the past three years, to treat his illness, the boy underwent dozens of treatments and has taken many medications. These medications may have helped, however, they also have unwanted side effects that ultimately cause major damage to a child's intestines. A child in his or her growing years already has weaker organs than an adult and will not be able to withstand the long-term side effects of medications. The child's intestine will also not be able to absorb nutrients as well as adults. These factors, along with the disease, produce a cruel and descending spiral for the child.

This is not an easy disease to treat!

Looking at the child, Wang Yao knew that he had suffered greatly, both physically and mentally, which was far beyond what a child his age could withstand. Luckily the boy was able to survive until now.

“Doctor Wang, how is my child's illness?” Zhou Xiang pushed. Originally, he did not want to rush over, but was unable to endure it after seeing Wang Yao remain silent for some time.

“Give me time to go back and think about this before I reply to you,” replied Wang Yao.

Childhood disease is not only related to his left arm. It is a combination of several other diseases. Regarding how to treat it and what medicine to use, Wang Yao needed to come up with a comprehensive plan. He had to return home and think carefully. He could not jump to conclusions.

“This is my son's laboratory results, diagnostic proof and medical record.”

Wang Yao glanced at them. This was a copy; obviously Zhou Xiang had prepared it meticulously.

“Can I return this for further review?”

“Of course,” replied Zhou Xiang.

“Oke.”

After the diagnosis, Wang Yao did not stay for long. He spoke a few words to the boy named Zhou Wukang and left the hotel, returning to the village.

He went to Nanshan Hill and began to analyze the boy's illness until nightfall.

“It's been night; how time passed!” he said, glancing at the window.

He's coming home for dinner. On the way home and while eating, he constantly thought about the child's illness.

At night in his cottage, he kept reading about the child's past care process and lab reports and made his own notes as well.

The next day, apart from tending to his herb fields and training his Qi, Wang Yao focused his energy on analyzing the child's illness. This went on for two days.

Gradually, he made a plan. First, treat the symptoms, then treat the source of the disease. First, let the child's energy recover. Then, overcome digestive problems and other organ problems. Next, focus on the treatment of her blocked ducts and collar and potentially untreatable arms. This is his treatment plan after reading the child's treatment and medical records and after a few days of considering it.

“OK, let's do this.”

With the plan decided upon, treatment must be thoroughly carried out to be able to determine whether it will be successful and what stage it will reach.
