Chapter 71: My Thing is Uncomfortable
“I heard that the doctor sitting in residency inside is the young divine doctor Gu Yu, who previously saved Lian Town from the epidemic. Is it true?”
“I heard the same thing. It should be true! After all, the news came from the county office. They say it was revealed by the magistrate!”
“Oh wow, if that’s really the case, I need to hurry in and see a doctor. I don’t know how many more days this old body has left to live.”
“Quick, go in, go in! After you go in, I’ll be the second one to go in! Good fellow, there are so many doctors inside. When I see them, my mouth goes bitter and my heart is scared.”
“Why does your mouth go bitter?”
“Of course, it’s from drinking bitter medicine! With so many doctors inside, you’re bound to see the one who usually manages illnesses and dispenses medicine, which makes me too scared to go in.”
Outside Donglin Medical Hall, circles of people were gathered, all looking inside with curiosity.
However, not a single person dared to step inside, they only whispered and discussed amongst themselves.
Although they were talking enthusiastically, they were now hesitating, waiting to see the situation.
It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in Gu Yu’s medical skills, but that there were dozens of doctors inside, and the setup was quite grand… there were more doctors than patients!
However, it also indirectly proved Gu Yu’s amazing medical skills, otherwise, those doctors wouldn’t be willing to stay on the side to assist.
“You… are you Doctor Gu!”
Although many people were standing around watching, there was always a first person to try something.
As such, a middle-aged man in his thirties, under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze, timidly walked into Donglin Medical Hall.
And when Gu Yu finally saw the first patient, he quickly called the person over, preparing to diagnose him thoroughly.
After all, he was the first patient of the day, very memorable.
He wanted to provide a full service, without anyone else interfering!
“Yes, I am. What’s uncomfortable with you?”
“My thing is uncomfortable…”
“What ‘thing’ is that?”
“Oh, it’s that ‘thing’!”
“Be more detailed, I treat illnesses, not appearances.”
However, this patient who came in spoke hesitantly, leaving Gu Yu completely confused, not knowing what the other person was talking about.
He kept saying “that thing,” but which “that” was it?
To have to guess when seeing a doctor, it’s really dragging things out!
“It’s just… oh dear, there are too many doctors here! Looking at me like this, it’s quite embarrassing!”
Seeing Gu Yu’s expression starting to turn sour, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but scratch his head. Then, when he spoke again, his eyes were on the doctors standing around, who were all looking at him with bright eyes, making it really difficult for him to speak.
His illness was really hard to talk about!
If he had known there were so many doctors inside, he wouldn’t have been the first to come in!
“This is a medical hall, not a tea house or a tavern. If you want to see a doctor, just state your symptoms properly. If not, leave.”
Gu Yu looked around. Although he felt that the doctors standing beside him were indeed a bit too many, he didn’t indulge the patient in front of him.
Now, to this group of doctors, patients were all the same, only their symptoms differed!
Did he have to disperse the surrounding doctors just to treat him?
That would be too much trouble!
Look if you want, leave if you don’t.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. My buttocks are always itchy. After scratching, they hurt even more. Now I don’t even dare to go to the toilet because I’ll bleed!”
Seeing that Gu Yu was really going to turn him away, the middle-aged man finally said it with a red face.
Upon hearing that his “chrysanthemum” had a problem, the doctors present immediately looked displeased, thinking how strange their first patient was!
A problem with the “chrysanthemum”… no wonder he was so hesitant earlier.
If it were them, they wouldn’t be able to say it either!
“Cough cough, you should have said it earlier. Which one of you take him to the room over there for an examination, and then describe it in detail.”
When Gu Yu heard that the first patient’s condition was somewhat unusual, he immediately changed his mind about personally handling it and instead handed this important task over to others.
After all, these doctors were here to assist him, and now was the time to do so.
Moreover, it would also increase their experience.
As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, the doctors looked at each other, and finally, someone volunteered to take the patient to a small, dark room to examine the condition of his “chrysanthemum.”
Gu Yu looked at this capable doctor and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he would give him some extra attention later and teach him more knowledge about the “chrysanthemum.”
The Medical Scripture covers a wide range of content, and knowledge about the “chrysanthemum” was not omitted.
Therefore, there was plenty of theoretical knowledge!
After the examination was completed, Gu Yu listened to the doctor’s description of the patient’s “chrysanthemum” condition, which led him to determine that the patient had hemorrhoids.
If this were modern times, he might have directly suggested surgery to remove the hemorrhoids, but such technology was not available in ancient times.
Even if Gu Yu knew this technique, he wouldn’t do it!!!
Therefore, he could only prescribe medicine.
Not only oral medicine but also topical medicine.
He also instructed the patient not to eat spicy food or sit for too long during this period, otherwise his “chrysanthemum” hemorrhoids would become even more severe.
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s instructions, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly. After receiving the medicine and leaving, he felt lighter in his steps.
Although he hadn’t taken the medicine yet, Gu Yu was able to determine his symptoms with just a few descriptions and explained them more clearly than he had, his medical skills were truly miraculous!
No wonder so many people said Gu Yu was a divine doctor!
No! He had to let his family come and see him when he got home, even if they weren’t sick, it would be great to see them for their well-being!
“Hey, someone’s coming out!”
“Brother, how do you feel?”
“He only went in for a short while, what can he tell? At least, we have to wait until he takes the medicine to see.”
“Exactly, it will take time to see results. How can we see the effect now?”
“Hmph, in my opinion, the ‘young divine doctor’ thing is just a gimmick, definitely not real.”
“If you say that, why did you come here? Hurry up, get out of the way, don’t block the path!”
After the middle-aged man left the medical hall, before he could even go home to notify his relatives and friends, he was surrounded by a group of people, who were incessantly asking how he felt.
When he heard someone denying Gu Yu’s medical skills, the middle-aged man’s eyebrows shot up, and he immediately retorted,
“Doctor Gu’s medical skills are very amazing. I only said a few words, and he was able to describe my symptoms in detail and prescribed medicine according to the symptoms… You know, I have seen several doctors for this illness, and they didn’t know what my illness was, but Doctor Gu knew!”
As soon as he said this, those who were still watching couldn’t help themselves any longer and immediately rushed into the medical hall.
They were afraid that if they were late, they wouldn’t be able to see a doctor.
