The Urban Romance of Miracle Doctor

Chapter 43 Caring Hall

　　　　On the other side of the room, there was a sword hanging over the mansion. Below the sword was the Yin-Yang Taiji, which was engraved with a poem.

　　　　David Tao was from a well-known family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His medical skills were superb, so the queue to meet him was long every day.

　　　　However, his time was limited. He could only see 40 patients a day, so there were a lot of people whose couldn’t make the list every day. This was also the reason why his consultation fee was more expensive than some experts in some big hospitals.

　　　　The first patient sitting in front of the consultation table was about fifty years old. She suffered from chronic rheumatic arthritis, all her limb joints were in pain.

　　　　David Tao asked about the patient's condition and felt her pulse for a while. He smiled at Jacob Ye and said, "Jacob, do you want to try?"

　　　　Jacob Ye knew that David Tao was testing his medical skills. He nodded and reached out his hand at the patient's wrist.

　　　　A moment later, he knew what was going on and nodded.

　　　　"Jacob, lets each write a prescription," David Tao said with a smile.

　　　　"Well alright, I’ll make a fool of myself in front of Master Tao then."

　　　　Both of them took a pen and paper each, and then wrote down their own prescriptions. After exchanging the papers, they could not help but nod and laugh.

　　　　They had prescribed different medicines; David Tao had prescribed the "The Four-Flavored Eaglewood Soup."

　　　　However, Jacob had prescribed Wu’s Twig Soup, but he did not mention white honey in it.

　　　　"Jacob, did you miss out a herb?" After thinking for a while, David Tao still did not understand Jacob Ye's prescription and confirmed that he had missed out white honey.

　　　　"There is no white honey in my prescription," Jacob Ye said with a smile.

　　　　David Tao shook his head slightly and said, "White honey is used to cure the poison in Wu's twig. If we don’t put white honey, I'm afraid that she will be poisoned by Wu's twig... This prescription is not appropriate. Besides, the patient has rheumatic arthritis, The Four-Flavored Eaglewood soup is most appropriate.

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not wrong, this patient has already tried the same medicine prescribed, but it was not very effective."

　　　　The patient nodded and said, "You're right, young man. I've indeed taken this medicinal soup and have taken six dosage in a row. It has no obvious effect. I was about to tell you, Doctor Tao."

　　　　"Oh, is that true?" David Tao put down the prescription in his hand and looked at Jacob Ye with questioning eyes. "Jacob, tell me, what's the main purpose of your prescription?"

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Just now, when I felt the patient's pulse, I found that the pulse was stable, but he has cold condensed joints. The tonic couldn't treat it, so it was better to treat it by warming up the meridians to disperse the cold. If I am not wrong, this patient’s tongue is pale and there should be a mossy thin black layer on it."

　　　　David Tao was stunned and checked the patient's tongue. Indeed, the patient's tongue coating was pale outside and slightly black in the middle.

　　　　"I see. Haha, Jacob, you are young and talented. I admire you." David Tao's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine were very deep. After thinking for a moment, he understood Jacob’s prescription.

　　　　"Then... which prescription should I use?" the patient asked hesitantly.

　　　　"Use this young man's prescription. I ensure that you can recover after three doses." David Tao handed Jacob Ye's prescription to the patient.

　　　　"Oh, okay, I'll go back and have a try." Although he did not trust the young Jacob Ye, David Tao was praising him so much. The patient left happily.

　　　　Ryan Tao, who was standing aside snorted and said, "A blind cat meets a dead mouse."

　　　　Jacob Ye glanced at him and said, "Then find a dead mouse for me."

　　　　Ryan Tao turned his head away and ignored Jacob Ye.

　　　　The next patient was a typical kidney patient. He arched his back, looked slightly dizzy, and looked a little in pain, obviously enduring great pain in his abdomen.

　　　　"Grandpa, let me do this." Seeing the patient's condition, Ryan Tao immediately became energetic.

　　　　He was proficient in acupuncture, and it will be appropriate for him to treat the kidney ailment with the five-dragon needle method. Therefore, he wanted to show off in front of Jacob Ye.

　　　　Ryan took out his box of needles, holding three needles in each of his hands. Then he held his breath and stabbed the patient's three acupoints in his chest, Tanyin Yu, and body in quick successions.

　　　　At the same time, three needles in his other hand stabbed at the three Jiaosui, the large intestine, and the vital parts of the patient's waist.

　　　　There were four needles in both of his hands. It was indeed a unique way of doing this. The patients waiting for their turns looked on and were all amazed.

　　　　Even Jacob Ye nodded slightly. Ryan Tao's move was the Five-dragon Needles. Ordinary people could not do it.

　　　　After a short while, the acupuncture was finished. In order to show off in front of Jacob Ye, Ryan Tao really put in all his effort this time. So the effect of acupuncture was surprisingly good. The patient only waited for a dozen minutes on the bed before he felt the symptoms were relieved, and even his expression eased.

　　　　"He is really a highly-skilled doctor!" The patient had been tortured by pain for a long time, and his symptoms had suddenly subsided. In an instant, he had a feeling that his diseases were all cured.

　　　　Ryan Tao was enjoying the praises by others. He couldn't help but glance at Jacob Ye complacently, wondering if he could do it too?

　　　　Jacob Ye said nothing and wanted to teach this kid a lesson.

　　　　The next patient was a middle-aged woman. Her face was sallow and her chest was flat. She kept coughing up phlegm, but she couldn't spit it out. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she held a glass of water and kept drinking it.

　　　　David Tao took the middle-aged woman's pulse and gestured for Jacob Ye to take a look. Jacob Ye glanced at Ryan Tao and said, "Ryan Tao, why not take a look."

　　　　"You finally accept the challenge." Ryan Tao glanced at Jacob Ye and stepped aside.

　　　　"Jacob, don't you want to have a look?" David Tao asked Jacob Ye.

　　　　"There's no need for me to feel her pulse. I already know what her symptoms are," Jacob Ye said lightly.

　　　　As soon as he said that, everyone in the room was shocked. Even David Tao's face was full of disbelief. He didn't even need to feel the pulse. How could he know what kind of symptoms is it?

　　　　And Ryan Tao did not miss the opportunity to satirize him, "Do you really think you are a god of doctor? Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, listening, questioning and feeling. If you don't even feel the pulse, how can you see what kind of disease it is?"

　　　　The patient on the side lines looked at Jacob Ye and obviously felt that Jacob Ye was pretending. Ryan Tao said, “Do you really think you are a god amongst doctors?”

　　　　Jacob Ye said lightly, "Auntie, if I'm right, your symptoms are that you have asthma. You're short of breath, and then you have phlegm in your throat, but you can't spit it out. You're thirsty, and your pulse is slippery. Am I right?"

　　　　"Yes, yes... That's it. I've seen many places and taken a lot of medicine, but it doesn't work." The middle-aged woman nodded quickly and said.

　　　　Ryan Tao and David Tao were shocked. Jacob Ye was right. The middle-aged woman's pulse was really like what he said. Jacob Ye's medical skills were really extraordinary. He could see through the disease without feeling the pulse.
