According to Liu Bei's initial diagnosis, Zhao Jun's illness was called phthisis, which was also known as lung cancer.
If it was in the future, lung cancer was not a terminal illness. With a clear diagnosis, one could choose a sensitive anti-inflammatory drug, take it according to the course of treatment, and recuperate properly. Basically, one would recover very quickly.
In the Han Dynasty, those who contracted lung cancer had a slim chance of survival. The only problem was how many years they could live. Without effective anti-tb drugs, there was nothing they could do about the tb bacili, and their standard of living was low. It would be difficult for them not to die!
Some people might ask, isn't malaria an infectious disease? Why was Zhao Jun the only one in the Zhao Family who had contracted lung cancer, while little Zhao Yu was fine?
Although it was true that it was an infectious disease, it wasn't something that could be transmitted upon contact. Generally, it was an occupational infection and the weak were easily infected. Just like the flu, not everyone who came into contact with it would get the flu.
In other words, as long as the patient paid attention, it would not be transmitted to others. Zhao Jun was obviously a very particular person. It was very normal that he did not infect others.
Of course, if there are people who insist on being stubborn, just treat it as the setting of the book, or pretend that I didn't say anything, okay?
Brother Zi Chuan." Liu Bei loosened his hand and opened his eyes. He pondered for a moment and said,""Your illness is a little complicated!"
"Brother Xuande, there's no harm in speaking frankly.”Zhao Jun's eyes flashed with despair. He did not have much hope for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei understood Zhao Jun's feelings very well. No one wanted to be plagued by a serious illness, especially a person who had been sick for a long time. The hardship was almost suicidal. It was not too much to say that it was worse than death.
"Yes." Liu Bei nodded and said calmly,""Brother Zi Chuan's illness is called phthisis, caused by a type of infection with a type of bacili. Brother Zi Chuan should have been weak and sickly since he was a child. When the disease first started, it was no different from an external cold. Coughing was more common in the afternoon and at midnight. After a long illness, there is blood in the phlegm and heat in the five hearts. To this day, she would suffer from hemoptysis, chest tightness, chest pain, sweating, and occasionally fainting.”
Liu Bei didn't care if Zhao Junming didn't understand what the M. tubefacile was. This was the only way to make him look more superior and not look too intimidating. Right, Liu Bei was just acting cool.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Jun was a little excited. He grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said,"Xuande is really a good doctor!"
Zhao Jun had been skeptical before, thinking that Liu Bei was looking for an excuse. After Liu Bei took his pulse, Zhao Jun was more convinced.
It was not a joke to become a good doctor after a long illness. From the way he felt the pulse, Zhao Jun knew that Liu Bei really knew the art of Qihuang.
When Liu Bei finished reading Zhao Jun's pulse, he described Zhao Jun's illness accurately, especially the hemoptysis. Zhao Jun did not reveal it, which made Zhao Jun believe him even more.
The reason why Zhao Jun did not mention the hemoptysis was not because he wanted to test Liu Bei, but because he was afraid of scaring him. Especially when his little sister, Zhao Yu, was present. She knew that his big brother often vomited blood. It would be strange if she didn't cry to death.
If Zhao Jun wanted to believe him completely, it would depend on whether Liu Bei could treat his illness.
As for what was the fungus? Zhao Jun really didn't care. Fortunately, Liu Bei did not know what Zhao Jun was thinking. Otherwise, Liu Bei would have been coughing up blood. His posturing had failed!
"Good brother, can you cure my brother's illness?”Suddenly, the pretty face Zhao Yu eagerly asked what everyone was thinking.
Because Liu Bei was treating his big brother, he was promoted to a good big brother. And Dian Wei was still a bad guy, standing at the side.
In little Zhao Yu's young and pure heart, the definition of good and bad was simple and direct.
"I like it!"
"F * ck!"
"Good sister!"
"Isn't it?"
Did Zhao Jun want to ask this? She wanted to, but she didn't dare to ask. She was afraid that she would be disappointed again. That would really be hopeless.
Did Dian Wei want to ask this? Oh, he really did not pass.
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yu and thought for a while before saying,""Little Sister Zhao Yu, your question puts me in a difficult position. If I say I can't, I'm afraid you'll cry. If I say I can, I'm afraid I can't do it.”
It was unknown if Zhao Yu understood what Liu Bei was saying. This little fellow came to Liu Bei's side and pulled at the corner of Liu Bei's clothes with her small hands. She pouted and shook her head as she looked at Liu Bei eagerly.
"Yes!" Liu Bei's technique was broken in three seconds and he was melted by little Zhao Yumeng.
"Pow!" Little Zhao Yu jumped up and kissed Liu Bei's cheek. She said adorably,""Good brother, you can call me Little Yu 'er!”
"Yu 'er, don't mess around!" When Zhao Jun heard that Liu Bei could cure his illness, he suddenly had the illusion that his illness was half cured. However, he did not forget to dote on his sister. This was his sister's first kiss!
Zhao Yu stuck out her tongue, made a face, and quickly ran away.
"This little girl has been spoiled by us brothers.”Zhao Jun was still a little nervous as he said,"Brother Xuande, can you really cure my consumption?”
"Little Yu 'er is very obedient!" Liu Bei took a long time to recover from the loss of his first kiss. He shook his head and said,"I can indeed cure Brother Zi Chuan's illness, but there's a problem.”
"Just say it!" Zhao Jun didn't feel that there was anything difficult about it. As long as he could cure his illness, Zhao Jun was willing to go all out.
"The main medicine used to treat this disease is called human placentas.”Liu Bei gave a brief introduction of the human placentas.
Human placentas was the name of the medicine after the placenta was dried and soaked. It has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing blood to treat phthisis. Usually, it was ground into powder and swallowed, five grams at a time, three to five times a day, until the consumption was cured.
Human placentas were very expensive, and there were very few sources. Ordinary medicine shops did not even have them. The future was better, but it was hard to say in this era. Most likely, it had not been used in medicine yet. However, the human placentas were indispensable, which was why Liu Bei was in a difficult position.
"I see!" How could Zhao Jun not understand? He said dejectedly,"Brother Xuande, do you have a substitute medicine?”
"Yes, but the effect might not be one-tenth. The amount taken is ten times more.”Liu Bei thought of using animal placentas as a replacement. As for the effect, it should be similar.
"That's good!" "As long as there's a way, I'll be fine." Zhao Jun thanked the heavens and said.”
Liu Bei was very good at writing prescriptions. This was not difficult at all. It was just the addition and reduction of prescriptions for nourishing yin and cooling blood. There were many similar prescriptions with good effects in later medical books.
However, when Zhao Jun received the prescription, he didn't say that he was going to get the medicine immediately. Instead, his face revealed a trace of pain and embarrassment.
"This is all caused by money!" Liu Bei sighed. How could he not understand Zhao Jun's dilemma?
According to Liu Bei's observations, Zhao Yun's family should have been doing well in the past. Perhaps his parents had passed away early, Zhao Jun had been ill for a long time, and his younger siblings were still young. They had nothing to eat, and the family had fallen from then on.
In order not to embarrass Zhao Jun, Liu Bei deliberately took the prescription and said,"Brother Zi Chuan, for the sake of the efficacy of the medicine, I think it's better for me to personally go and get the first batch of medicine.”
Before Zhao Jun could react, Liu Bei called out to Dian Wei,""Er 'Lai, you stay behind to accompany Brother Zi Chuan. I'll take Little Yu' er to the county city to get some medicine.”
"Coming, coming, coming, coming!" Zhao Yu also hopped over. How could she miss a chance to ride a horse? Moreover, she was accompanying her brother to get medicine for him.
"Big brother, I'm hungry!" Dian Wei said a little embarrassedly,"Why don't I go up the mountain and hunt a deer or something like that?”
In the past, Dian Wei relied on hunting to make a living. He often hunted in the mountains and forests on an empty stomach. Fortunately, the mountain forest was rich in resources, so Dian Wei always obtained something.
Dian Wei was a big eater, or rather, a pure rice bucket. He never knew what satiety was. Usually, one meal was enough for Liu Bei to eat for three days. He was also very hungry. There was really nothing he could do about it.
