Chapter 176

She was just like a vehicle that had run over ten thousand miles, desperately in need of maintenance, especially considering her age. Like machine parts, the various organs in her body were already slowing down and deteriorated further.

"Did you not take any medicine after visiting the hospital?" asked Wang Yao.

"We took some medicine, but there was little effect," said the charming lady.

"How about this, I'll prescribe some medicine, but the treatment period might take a while," said Wang Yao.

"Sure."

Wang Yao thus gave a prescription using only common herbs found in regular pharmacies.

"Just follow the prescription; the method to use the medicine is written down. Let your mom rest, and don't make her angry," said Wang Yao.

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

The mother-daughter pair had the clinic prepare and boil the medicine, the whole batch of which they would be able to collect in the afternoon.

"Could I see the medicine preparation equipment?" Wang Yao asked Pan Mei.

"Of course you can."

In one room of the clinic, Wang Yao saw a modern Chinese medicine decoction machine. It wasn't particularly big, just about the size of a bucket made of stainless steel and automated.

Following the times, the various medicinal methods had improved. The labor-intensive ways of the past were slowly eliminated just like the medicine-decocting equipment, which was convenient and efficient. Who would still use a wood fire to prepare medicine nowadays?

However, contemporary equipment may not necessarily be better than ancient ones, such as in pottery. Although technology had improved, we are still unable to create some porcelain works done in ancient times.

"The medicinal herbs must be of good quality," Wang Yao reminded. This was all he could do now, after all, he could not force the clinics to use wood fires.

"Don't you worry. Even if it wasn't your prescription but some other doctor's, we would do our best to use the good quality herbs," Pan Mei said.

When it comes to common medicine, the difference between high and low-quality herbs wasn't actually too big, and the efficacy of the medicine would not differ greatly. Nonetheless, this was a problem of attitude, pointing towards one's sincerity and responsibility for one's patients.

In one morning, Wang Yao saw two patients. Both were getting on in age and suffering from headaches and poor sleep. These problems were relatively easier to treat.

At noon, he didn't return home but went with Wang Mingbao for a meal.

"Hai, today isn't Wednesday, what did you go to the clinic for?" Wang Mingbao asked.

"I wanted to see a few more patients," Wang Yao explained.

"To earn more money?"

"To earn experience. How's Wei Hai? Does he still look for you often?" Wang Yao asked.

"Nope, he's better now. His complexion has improved, and he has regained his self-confidence. It's not like a while back when he looked like he had lost his spirit," Wang Mingbao said.

"That's good; a strong mentality helps with recovery," Wang Yao said.

"Are you still going back in the afternoon?" Wang Mingbao asked.

"Uh-huh," Wang Yao replied.

After lunch, they went to Wang Mingbao's shop to sit for a while.

Just as they were chatting, the shop staff knocked and came over.
