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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yao .

"Sure . "

w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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?" w.a.n.g Yao asked Pan Mei .

"Of course you can . "

In one room of the clinic, w.a.n.g 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," w.a.n.g 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 att.i.tude, pointing towards one's sincerity and responsibility for one's patients .

In one morning, w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Mingbao for a meal .

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

"I wanted to see a few more patients," w.a.n.g Yao explained .

"To earn more money?"

"To earn experience . How's Wei Hai? Does he still look for you often?" w.a.n.g 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," w.a.n.g Mingbao said .

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

"Are you still going back in the afternoon?" w.a.n.g Mingbao asked .

"Uh-huh," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

After lunch, they went to w.a.n.g Mingbao's shop to sit for a while .

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

"Boss, there's someone who wants to buy a large number of materials for decoration and wants to know if we can offer a discount," the staff said .

"Please have him wait," w.a.n.g Mingbao replied .

"Okay . "

"Wait for me for a bit; I'll be back shortly," w.a.n.g Mingbao said .

"Actually, it's about time for me too . I should be going back to the clinic," w.a.n.g Yao said . As the two of them were leaving, they ran into the customer whom the staff had mentioned earlier .

It wasn't one person, but a husband and wife pair that looked to be over 30 . The gentleman was slightly round, possessing an elegant demeanour, while the lady was taller than him and was somewhat good looking and well-taken care of .

Hm?

w.a.n.g Yao's footsteps stopped, and his gaze fell upon the lady's body .

Her waist was slightly swelling, indicating that she was pregnant . The husband and wife pair looked close .

"h.e.l.lo, I am the shop owner," w.a.n.g Mingbao introduced .

"h.e.l.lo, my name is Pang Yan," Pang Yan said .

As the two of them were talking, w.a.n.g Yao's gaze was still focused on Pang Yan's wife .

"How about we go into my office to talk?" w.a.n.g Mingbao asked .

"Sure," Pang Yan replied .

w.a.n.g Mingbao thus ushered Pang Yan and his wife into his office . After a short while, they came out and were preparing to leave .

"Uhmm . . . " Just then, w.a.n.g Yao opened his mouth, causing the pair to turn and look at him .

"Uh, I'm a doctor," w.a.n.g Yao said .

"Huh?!"

The pair was stunned upon hearing w.a.n.g Yao and were clearly unsure what he wanted to say .

"I suggest that you guys should go to a hospital to do a check-up," w.a.n.g Yao said while pointing at the lady .

"What do you mean?" Pang Yan's expression had turned ugly .

"This lady's breathing has become a little rushed, and her complexion looks poor . Of course, this is just my suggestion . "

Humph!

The man got angry after hearing this and immediately turned to leave, while his wife hurried behind him .

"Hey, hey, what are you up to?!" w.a.n.g Mingbao asked after the pair had left .

"You've been staring at that lady's belly from the moment you saw her . Also, in what way was her complexion poor? Wasn't it very good?" w.a.n.g Mingbao asked .

"That's just the covering effect of her make-up . Her eyes don't have much life in them; that means that she's not feeling well," w.a.n.g Yao explained .

It would be fine if it were a normal person, but this was a pregnant lady . At times like this, it was precisely when the body needed nouris.h.i.+ng .

Outside the shop, the couple entered their car .

"You know him?" asked Pang Yan, in a low voice . His expression darkened .

"No, I don't," His wife said . "Perhaps he's just talking nonsense?" As she said this, her body trembled slightly .

The man did not reply and stepped on the pedal to leave .

"She really should visit the hospital," w.a.n.g Yao said .

"I trust you, but they probably think you're some mentally unsound person now," w.a.n.g Mingbao laughed as he said .

"They wouldn't choose not to buy from you because of this, would they?" w.a.n.g Yao suddenly asked . Earlier, his warning to the couple was purely from good intentions .

"If they don't, so be it . I don't lack customers anyway," w.a.n.g Mingbao replied .

"Okay, I'm leaving . "

w.a.n.g Yao returned to the clinic . However, there was not a single patient in the afternoon .

As the sky began to darken, some of the old doctors were beginning to leave . These old doctors were just here to come late, sit around, and leave early . After all, they were getting on in their years and would get tired even just by sitting for a whole day . They were mostly grandpas and grandmas earning some income on the side, and watching them, Pan Mei didn't say much . She merely maintained a pleasant and approachable smile throughout, which was a rather admirable att.i.tude .

After 5 pm, only w.a.n.g Yao was left in the clinic . When working, he always came on the dot and left on the dot .

"Doctor w.a.n.g, it seems like there's nothing much left already . You can leave early if you want . "

"There's no hurry; I'll just read books first," w.a.n.g Yao said, smiling .

In his hand was a book, Chinese Medicinal Acupuncture . Ever since the miraculous acupuncture in Cangzhou by Master Sang, he began to research into the field of study and would read relevant doc.u.ments and materials .

Ding dong . At around 5:30 pm, a 50-year-old man entered the clinic, looking unwell and holding his stomach .

"Doctor, as I was eating, my stomach suddenly started hurting . Even when I went to the toilet, I couldn't p.o.o.p . Could you take a look at me and prescribe me some medicine?"

"Stomach ache, Doctor w.a.n.g . Could I trouble you to take a look?" Pan Mei asked w.a.n.g Yao hurriedly .

"Sure," w.a.n.g Yao said while putting down the book .

"Hey, Doctor w.a.n.g is it?" The man looked at w.a.n.g Yao and smiled widely .

"You are?"

"Ah, I once brought a relative to see you . After eating the medicine you gave her, her headache immediately got better . "

"Oh, that's good to hear . Let me take a look at you now . You look like you're hurting too much to stand . "

"Ah, yes please . "

w.a.n.g Yao felt with his hand, and his expression changed .

"You should immediately go to the hospital and check up your heart!" w.a.n.g Yao said .

"Ah, what's wrong?!" This 50-year-old man's face turned grim after hearing that .

"Check your heart; there is a blood clot," w.a.n.g Yao said .

Once a blood clot occurs in the heart, it would be extremely dangerous . If not treated well, it could cost a person's life .

"Sister Pan, please call an ambulance!" w.a.n.g Yao shouted .

"Okay!" Pan Mei, who was sitting at one side, immediately picked up the phone to dial for the ambulance . After all, this was a matter of life and death .

"Don't panic," w.a.n.g Yao said as he went to ask Pan Mei for some Chinese medicine to protect the heart .

. . . . She was just like a vehicle that had run over ten thousand miles, desperately in need of maintenance, especially considering her age .
