Chapter 1026 The Exact Same Prescription
After Song Yanwang and his granddaughter Song Ran left, Renxin Medical Clinic resumed seeing patients. Seeing the long queue, Chen Xuan felt a surge of enthusiasm and personally began examining patients, while also teaching Lu Shao medicine.
Before long, even Divine Doctor Lu came scurrying over.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s unique insights into common ailments, both of them nodded in agreement.
…
At this very moment.
On the way home, Song Ran felt a crawling sensation on her face, like ants were moving on it, both numb and itchy. She couldn’t help but look at Song Yanwang and say, “Grandpa, my face feels terrible. Please take a look quickly!”
Song Yanwang turned his head and noticed that Song Ran’s facial injuries had worsened compared to before. His expression changed, and he hurriedly instructed the driver, “Hurry home!”
“Grandpa, is my face getting worse…” Song Ran saw Song Yanwang’s anxiety and became even more worried.
Song Yanwang comforted her, “My dear granddaughter, you will be alright. You must believe in your grandpa.”
As a doctor, he naturally understood the importance of a patient’s mental state.
Meanwhile, Song Yanwang gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all the fault of the quacks at Renxin Medical Clinic. If they hadn’t prescribed medicine carelessly, it wouldn’t have gotten this bad. And that young fellow Zhang, he really thinks he can disregard me just because he became chairman. Hateful!”
“I will definitely make you pay!”
Clearly, Song Yanwang attributed the worsening of Song Ran’s condition to Renxin Medical Clinic, even implicating Chairman Zhang.
With Song Yanwang’s urging, the nearly hour-long journey was completed in less than forty minutes, arriving at the Song family residence.
The Song family lived in a self-built courtyard house in the suburbs.
Despite being a self-built house, its comfort level was much better than the large villas in the city. This was why, even though Song Yanwang was immensely wealthy and owned many properties, he still chose to live here instead of in the city.
Upon returning home, Song Yanwang’s first priority was to feel Song Ran’s pulse and treat her.
A moment later, Song Yanwang withdrew his hand from Song Ran’s fair wrist and nodded slightly.
“Grandpa, how is it? Can you cure my illness?” Song Ran asked nervously.
Song Yanwang chuckled confidently, “My dear granddaughter, don’t you trust me either?”
“Of course not…” Song Ran shook her head and replied.
However, for some reason, Song Ran kept recalling Chen Xuan’s words, and coupled with the worsening condition of her face, she felt increasingly agitated.
Song Yanwang laughed heartily, “This minor illness, how could I not cure it? If I couldn’t cure it, how could I still have a footing in the medical community of Jiangnan Province?”
“Grandpa, are you telling the truth?”
“Of course!”
“Then that’s wonderful!”
These words were undoubtedly a great reassurance to Song Ran.
Song Yanwang glanced at his subordinate and said calmly, “Get me paper and pen. I need to write a prescription.”
The subordinate scurried off and returned moments later with paper and pen.
Song Yanwang was a very traditional man, perhaps due to years of habit. Even now, he used a brush to write prescriptions on vertical Xuan paper.
He picked up the brush and, with a flourish, wrote a classic prescription on the Xuan paper. Everything was familiar to him, and with just a glance at the formula, he confirmed its correctness.
He blew on the Xuan paper to dry the ink, then handed the prescription to Song Ran, saying, “Granddaughter, have someone fetch the medicine. It’s for external and internal use. One dose will cure the illness.”
Song Ran had not paid much attention initially, but upon hearing the words “external and internal use,” she couldn’t help but frown. She looked at the prescription in front of her, and the next moment, her expression changed drastically!
“This… this… how could this be?”
Song Ran’s eyes trembled, and her slender hand holding the prescription shook slightly with emotion.
Song Yanwang had picked up his teacup, about to take a sip. It wasn’t to moisten his throat, but simply a habit after seeing patients.
However, hearing Song Ran’s words, he paused his action and turned to look at Song Ran, who was in a state of shock.
“What’s wrong, my dear granddaughter?”
Song Yanwang couldn’t help but ask.
Song Ran opened her mouth, unsure how to explain.
So, Song Ran took a piece of paper out of her pocket and placed it in front of Song Yanwang.
Song Yanwang looked at it with a doubtful expression, but still reached out and took it. He opened the paper, and after a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed in surprise, “What? The prescription from Renxin Medical Clinic is the same as mine?”
He recognized it as a prescription from Renxin Medical Clinic because the paper had the clinic’s unique watermark.
As for the content of the prescription, it was identical to the one Song Yanwang had just written, not missing a single herb, nor the dosage of each herb.
Song Ran said with slight embarrassment, “Grandpa, this prescription was written by that Divine Doctor Lu from Renxin Medical Clinic. I’ve also used it, and my condition not only didn’t improve but worsened…”
This statement undoubtedly caused Song Yanwang’s brows to furrow.
He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, “My dear granddaughter, it seems this prescription didn’t work well for your condition. But don’t worry, Grandpa has other prescriptions.”
Soon, Song Yanwang wrote another prescription for Song Ran.
Song Ran, holding the new prescription, felt very uneasy.
If the prescription from Divine Doctor Lu and her Grandpa Song Yanwang were the same, didn’t that mean that Renxin Medical Clinic’s methods were not wrong?
Would Song Yanwang’s new prescription work?
Song Yanwang seemed to notice Song Ran’s doubt and explained:
“Ran’er, everyone’s constitution is different. The previous prescription might not have been effective for you, and it might have even reacted with your constitution. This new prescription I’ve written is a unique secret formula that Renxin Medical Clinic absolutely doesn’t know. I guarantee it will cure your illness.”
“Grandpa, I’ll go have someone fetch the medicine now!”
Hearing this, Song Ran took the prescription and turned to leave.
“It seems that Renxin Medical Clinic does have some skill…” Song Yanwang muttered to himself after Song Ran left.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The issue of South Korea’s application for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status for Confucianism and Zongzi caused a huge public outcry and ignited the anger of the Chinese people. Consequently, all attention turned to the challenge posed by the King of Korean Medicine, Park Jin-guk, to the medical community of Jiangnan Province.
If this had happened before, it might have been less significant. But during this sensitive period, if the traditional Chinese medicine community of Jiangnan Province lost to the King of Korean Medicine, Park Jin-guk, the entire Chinese nation would condemn them.
For this reason, the Jiangnan Province Medical Association issued a public announcement and signed a military order, stating that they would do their utmost to counter the King of Korean Medicine, Park Jin-guk. If they failed to defeat him, Chairman Zhang would voluntarily resign!
Fang Shenzhen, the Chinese medicine practitioner who was to compete against Park Jin-guk, also declared that he would retire his needles thereafter and would no longer treat patients.
The support for the Jiangnan Province Medical Association and Divine Doctor Fang Shenzhen was unprecedentedly fervent, consistently ranking first on the hot search list!
