After the young woman finished speaking, she lifted the bag in her hand. In the bag, Yu Gangan could faintly see some Chinese medicine for nouris.h.i.+ng yin, Glucurolactone, and Azithromycin.

“I’ve studied Chinese medicine. Tell me how you’re feeling unwell and I’ll see if I can help you,” Yu Gangan said.

After all, they were just sitting there waiting anyway.

So, the young girl started chatting to Yu Gangan.

“Last month, my father celebrated his birthday. So, my mother woke up early that day and started busily preparing. She cooked an entire table of food and my siblings and I returned home to have dinner with them. But, my mother started feeling a bit strange in the afternoon. She had hot and cold flashes, a bit of a headache, and nausea. She thought she caught a cold so she took some medicine for it. But, she ended up with a fever at night and spent the next few days on a drip in the community clinic. However, not only did she not recover, her condition grew more and more serious. So, we rushed her to the hospital. When we arrived, the doctor said she had food poisoning, but they couldn’t find the cause. The doctor prescribed some medicine and attached a drip, but my mother’s fever continued to come and go. Like that, it dragged on until now.”

“Do you mind if I check your pulse,” Yu Gangan asked.

“Go ahead.”

The middle-aged woman placed her hand on her thigh and smiled at Yu Gangan weakly.

Yu Gangan kneeled down beside her. As she checked the woman’s pulse, she slowly closed her eyes.

The young woman looked at her anxiously with slight discomfort.

A moment later, Yu Gangan stood up, looked at the young woman, and said, “Miss, can I see the medicine?”

The young woman nodded her head and immediately retrieved the medicine from her bag. As Yu Gangan looked at them, she asked, “Has she only been taking these?”

“Yes.”

“Your mother doesn’t have food poisoning.”

“It’s not food poisoning?” the young woman was shocked. She couldn’t believe it. “In that case, what is wrong with her? How can we cure her?”

Yu Gangan pointed to a picture of bupleurum granules and said, “Buy that. Boil 5 bags at a time and drink it while it’s hot. After you drink it, sleep and you will feel better the next day. As for this medicine, you must stop taking it.”

The young woman looked blankly at Yu Gangan with no trust on her face, “Really? Is it as easy as you say?”

They had already been treating her for a month. If it was this easy to treat, why did it drag on for so long in the hospital?

“I have no reason to lie to you. There’s nothing serious with her. She was treated incorrectly so her condition worsened and it ended up dragging for so long…”

Just as Yu Gangan was talking to the young woman a voice suddenly interrupted, “What are you saying?”

A roughly 30-year-old woman in a white cloak was frowning and looking at them coldly. The young woman immediately looked at her and said, “Doctor, we are here for a consultation. We were just having a casual conversation.”

She didn’t believe Yu Gangan in the end and decided not to listen to her.

Yu Gangan looked at the doctor and said to the young woman, “I wasn’t casually conversing with you.”

The doctor looked at Yu Gangan fiercely, “Who are you? How can you randomly diagnose people?”

Yu Gangan smiled and replied, “I was waiting for someone and noticed this woman’s illness was a bit serious so I checked her pulse for her.”

These words made the woman scoff, “You checked her pulse? You must be a medical student from Beijing University. Let me tell you, don’t think that just because you read a few books, you can start prescribing medicine here.”

“Xiao Yu.”

At that moment, a mature and firm voice suddenly sounded.
