Chapter 227: Chapter 0227 Treatment of Hidden Injuries 3_1

After hearing this, Wu Zheng turned and walked into the west room. When he came out, he was holding a thick stack of notes which he fumbled through several times before handing them to Feng Qingxue.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and immense, one could spend a lifetime studying it and still not fully understand it. What I actually practiced when learning medicine is called ’child’s skills’. This is the study record from my childhood till I officially practiced medicine, progressing from simple to complex. Many treatments for minor ailments like colds, fevers, chill, diarrhea, etc., are attached inside, very detailed. Take them, study diligently. Learning well is the most important thing!"

Feng Qingxue received them with both hands, "Thank you, sir, I will study with my heart and live up to your expectations."

Wu Zheng sighed, "The poorer and more backward the place is, the more lacking in medical resources. While cities have worker hospitals, rural areas do not even have health centers. This situation has been complained about before, but there’s nothing we can do! After more than a hundred years of war, the country is poor, doctors are scarce, and there is simply no money or time to train more doctors. Although you don’t have a medical practice certificate, saving lives is urgent. If anyone in your locality gets sick or injured, you can provide appropriate help based on the symptoms detailed in the book and notes. No one would say this behavior is wrong."

Even though Feng Qingxue, who could barely be considered a novice, only has a rudimentary understanding of medical principles, her existence to the rural commoners with no doctors or medicinal herbs is nothing short of a lifesaver.

Feng Qingxue was momentarily taken aback, and then solemnly acknowledged.

She always thought she was currently unqualified to practice medicine. It turns out no one cares whether she is qualified or not. That being said, she should study even more diligently to master the basic medical skills as soon as possible.

"Sir, could you please take a look at my husband’s recovery? There are still four shrapnel pieces in his arms and legs that haven’t been removed."

"Let me see!"

Facing a soldier who has served the country and the people, Wu Zheng had no objections.

After taking Lu Jiang’s pulse for a while, he asked in detail about the surgery and recovery process, and asked again about the diagnosis results from the military hospital, etc. Finally, he said, "Although your vitality is strong, besides the shrapnel not being removed, you have many hidden injuries throughout your body."

"So, how should he be treated?" Upon hearing that Lu Jiang had hidden injuries, Feng Qingxue immediately became worried.

"Stick to treatment, it won’t affect your lifespan." Wu Zheng casually wrote two prescriptions and handed them to her, "Make medicine according to one prescription, three times a day, boil it for him to take. I’ll also give you two bottles of medicinal oil that I’ve mixed myself. Massage it into the affected areas every day to let the medicinal properties penetrate the muscles. I’ve written the areas of injury in the other prescription for the medicinal oil. When exercising, joints and tendons can also be rubbed with the oil to promote blood circulation, relieve pain, and reduce swelling."

While he took out the medicinal oil, Wu Zheng let Feng Qingxue push Lu Jiang into his study. Lu Jiang removed his outer clothing and was only wearing shorts as he lied on the acupuncture bed. Besides his bandaged arms and legs, many acupuncture points all over his body were filled with ’Golden Needles’.

After removing the needles from his chest, he made him turn over and started moxibustion on his back.

Feng Qingxue was so distressed she started shedding tears.

"Silly girl, don’t cry, didn’t Doctor Wu say it? It’s okay! It can be cured." Lying on the bed, Lu Jiang endured the discomfort from moxibustion and turned his head to comfort his wife, "I’ll definitely take good care of my health."

After the acupuncture and moxibustion session ended, Wu Zheng gave him a massage. Possibly because it unblocked his meridians, Lu Jiang felt a lot lighter.
