Perhaps thinking that Lu Xuan was looking at her with colored glasses, Wang Yuanfeng left with her daughter, muttering as she went.
The key is, muttering would be one thing, but her voice wasn't quiet at all, and every word was heard clearly by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan felt a bit helpless.
It's not that he thought Wang Yuanfeng was some kind of wicked stepmother, but nowadays, too many parents only care about their own face, completely ignoring the pressure on the children. Even when the child has health issues, they still go their own way.
Lu Xuan had seen this happen before.
Moreover, there are a lot of such parents online, too.
As a doctor, Lu Xuan felt it necessary to issue a reminder; otherwise, even if he prescribed medicine, if Wang Yuanfeng continued to ignore the child and kept putting academic pressure on her, then even if he were a miraculous doctor, the prescription would be in vain.
By that time, people might still say he is a quack doctor and that the medicine he prescribed was useless.
Not only ineffective, but the symptoms could also worsen.
It could even lead patients to question Chinese medicine.
Considering all these, Lu Xuan had no choice but to remind them.
Some things have to be made clear.
I've said all that needed to be said, if you don't follow the doctor's instructions and the illness isn't cured in the end, you can't say the doctor was useless or the medicine ineffective.
Wanting to cure the illness but not cooperating with the doctor's recommendations, how could it possibly get better?
Even a miraculous doctor couldn't manage that.
To put it bluntly, even if Zhongjing were alive, it wouldn't work if you didn't follow medical advice, even if the Medical Saint came.
After Wang Yuanfeng left, the next patient hadn't come in yet.
Su Kenan seemed to be pondering something, her delicate eyebrows faintly knitted together, which cast a shallow worry across her refined face, adding an endearing quality to her already striking beauty.
"What's up?"
Turning to see the faint wrinkles on Su Kenan's forehead, Lu Xuan asked.
Su Kenan lifted her head, hesitating to speak.
"It's fine, just ask if you got questions. If there's something you don't understand, speak up in time; if you leave it there, you still won't understand it."
Su Kenan stared blankly at him, gathered up some courage, and softly asked, "You only mentioned the cause earlier."
Lu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then realized.
It seemed that Su Kenan was quite interested in the topic of menstrual disorders; she wouldn't have asked otherwise.
"Do you want to know how to treat it?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Su Kenan's voice was barely louder than a mosquito buzzing.
She really was a timid girl.
Lu Xuan smiled inwardly, pondered for a moment, then said, "Have you ever read the book 'Childbirth Treasure'?"
Su Kenan looked up, her face showing confusion.
Then, she gently shook her head.
Seeing that Su Kenan hadn't read it, Lu Xuan suggested, "If you're interested in these kinds of ailments, you might want to get a copy to read during your free time."
"Okay."
With a clear voice, Lu Xuan continued, "In 'Childbirth Treasure', it is said: 'For treating women's menstrual issues, one should regulate qi and blood, and unblock Yin and Yang; harmonizing the collateral meridians nourishes the body.
When qi and blood are balanced and Yin and Yang come together, the body functions smoothly and there are no menstrual issues. Whether it's early or delayed menstruation, heavy or scanty flow, pre-menstrual pain, or post-menstrual pain, while regulating qi and blood and unblocking Yin and Yang, it's also necessary to differentiate and treat according to different symptoms.
This brings up an important point, whether there is one formula fits all or a tailored approach for each individual case.
Chinese medicine emphasizes the correspondence between formula and syndrome, to be as effective as a drum. This 'formula' and 'syndrome', whether it's a key that fits a specific lock, a master key that can open many locks, or many keys needed to open the same lock?"
Su Kenan shook her head; she had never considered this question.
Or rather, it was not something a student at her level could contemplate.
A recent graduate from the undergraduate program in a traditional Chinese medicine university, achieving one-formula-fits-all is already quite commendable, while tailoring a formula for each case is something only a few Chinese medicine practitioners can reach.
Ultimately, it boils down to a lack of solid foundational knowledge and that their medical skills have not yet reached the pinnacle.
There exists a vast chasm between Chinese medicine practitioners who prescribe one-formula-fits-all and those who can accurately tailor a formula for each individual case, and very few can cross this gap.
In fact, they are a rarity.
It's normal for Su Kenan not to understand.
In reality, most traditional Chinese medicine university students don't ponder these issues.
Even some who have immersed themselves in the field for many years may not opt to explore a new path but choose to continue along the established road.
Lu Xuan said with a smile, "Adapt according to the person, time, and place; sometimes it's a master key, sometimes many keys may not even open the same lock. The cleverness lies in one's mind."
Of course, saying this is equivalent to saying nothing.
Those who understand will naturally understand, and for those who don't, saying more is futile.
Without talent, one is only suited to be a one-formula-fits-all type of practitioner. Those who are talented in this aspect can naturally go further and reach higher, seeing a different world.
However, there are also those who prescribe one-formula-fits-all who become great practitioners of their generation.
But such individuals are few.
Only a handful of those who merely prescribe based on formula reach the pinnacle.
As expected, hearing this made Su Kenan even more bewildered.
And then, she looked disappointed.
Lu Xuan understood this, so he comforted her, "It's okay if you don't understand. Read more, study more, solidify your foundation, and as you gain more experience, you'll naturally come to understand what it means."
"Some things, no matter how much I explain, you might still not grasp."
"Back to the point, let's continue discussing the treatment of menstrual issues."
Lu Xuan brought the topic back, "Actually, many times, menstrual irregularities don't need treatment. For some individuals, as they age, things will naturally correct themselves. For others, they may normalize after marriage.
