I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 328 - 145: Did Dr. Lu Go to the United South Chinese Medicine Association for Consultations?

Chapter 328: Chapter 145: Did Dr. Lu Go to the United South Chinese Medicine Association for Consultations?

After the stomach is removed, the middle part of the digestive system becomes sluggish, which will also affect the upper and lower parts.

In summary, as I said before, without a stomach, the body’s functions will naturally be affected, and returning to a completely normal state is impossible.

"Thank you, Dr. Lu."

Upon hearing that a two-week supply of medication could be prescribed, Li Yuquan was overjoyed, and his last bit of worry was completely dispelled.

When Li Yuquan first arrived, he was concerned about not being able to secure an appointment next week, which might interrupt his medication and cause some previous symptoms to recur.

Although Li Yuquan is not a doctor, he knows that with stomach issues, the most feared thing is recurrence. If it recurs, the previous medication might have been in vain.

How could he not worry?

But now, with two weeks of medication, he naturally doesn’t need to worry about such things.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "If Old Mr. Li can’t get an appointment at the Health Center, you can also book at the United South Chinese Medicine Association."

"The place that’s known for finding Chinese medicine at United South Chinese Medicine Association?"

"Yes."

Li Yuquan shook his head and said, "Forget it. Although the doctors there have a great reputation, last time I consulted you, Dr. Lu, and next time I’ll still see you. The medication you prescribed is indeed effective, why should I go out of my way to United South Chinese Medicine Association to see another doctor? That would be silly, wouldn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan realized Li Yuquan had misunderstood, so he explained, "Old Mr. Li, you misunderstood me. I wasn’t suggesting that you see another doctor, but you can book my appointment. Starting last Saturday, I will be at the United South Chinese Medicine Association every Saturday."

"Dr. Lu, you’re attending at the United South Chinese Medicine Association?" Li Jueying asked in surprise.

Being from Yong City, people have some understanding of the United South Chinese Medicine Association, otherwise, the saying of seeking Chinese medicine there wouldn’t spread around.

In the hearts of the people in Yong City, United South Chinese Medicine Association is regarded as a holy place for Chinese medicine.

Originally, Li Jueying thought that if there wasn’t significant improvement in her father’s symptoms after taking Dr. Lu’s medication for a week, she would take him to the United South Chinese Medicine Association to see a doctor.

She knew Dr. Lu was skilled, but receiving an invitation from the United South Chinese Medicine Association at such a young age was somewhat surprising.

"Yes."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Every Saturday, if there’s a change in the schedule, United South will notify in advance. If Old Mr. Li cannot book an appointment at the Health Center, you may go to United South Chinese Medicine Association on Saturday."

Li Yuquan patted his thigh, "That’s great."

He then congratulated, "I almost forgot to congratulate Dr. Lu. This is a great thing, and being able to attend at United South Chinese Medicine Association at such a young age, you probably broke the record for the attending physicians there. It’s likely to become increasingly difficult to book an appointment with you in the future."

After speaking, Li Yuquan turned to his daughter, Li Jueying, and instructed, "Jueying, make sure to book an appointment for next Saturday."

"Dr. Lu, does anyone else know that you’re attending at the United South Chinese Medicine Association?"

"It’s been mentioned to those who came today. For the next couple of days, the Health Center should also put up a big promotional sign at the entrance of the Chinese medicine department."

Hearing this, Li Yuquan immediately said, "Book it now, otherwise, it might be gone soon. Most people are not aware yet, so let’s secure an appointment first."

Knowing how hard it is to book an appointment with Lu Xuan, Li Jueying hurriedly took out her phone to make a booking on the spot.

Seeing that all the Saturday morning appointments for next week were almost taken, Li Jueying couldn’t help but complain, "Dr. Lu, your appointments get snatched up too fast. There are still quite a few for this Saturday, but next Saturday morning is nearly fully booked, and the afternoon is getting there too."

"Did you book it?"

"Yes, I booked it. I got the 7th appointment in the afternoon. Too many people in the morning, so we’d have to wait a long time, so I booked an afternoon appointment."

"As long as it’s booked."

Li Yuquan breathed a sigh of relief, not caring whether it was morning or afternoon. As long as there was an appointment, waiting either at home or at United South Chinese Medicine Association didn’t make much difference.

Seeing how anxious Old Mr. Li looked, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head, handed the medical record to Su Kenan, and reminded her, "Prepare two weeks of medication for Old Mr. Li, as per the previous prescription."

For patients who have been here before, it’s generally easy to retrieve their information from the system, since most medications remain unchanged, with only some modifications at most. Li Yuquan’s case is even simpler; just pull out the previous information.

"Old Mr. Li, would you like to have the medication decocted here or take it home to decoct?" Su Kenan asked in a low voice.

"I’ll take it home to decoct. It saves a trip, and it’s not good to decoct all the medication for two weeks in advance," Li Yuquan replied with a smile.

"Okay."

"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

In less than a minute, Su Kenan completed the operation and handed the payment slip to Li Jueying to pay the fee.

Many new patients were seen in the Chinese medicine department in the morning, which required relatively more time, but those coming in the afternoon were mostly follow-up visits, having been here before, which took considerably less time. Additionally, many explanations had been given previously, reducing the time needed for clarifications, which naturally improved efficiency.

By the time all the patients in the afternoon had been seen, there was still some time left before closing.

However, having no patients didn’t mean they could leave early.

With some spare time, Ji Xiuwen and Su Kenan consulted Lu Xuan regarding some questions they had during their regular practice.
