Ear Medicine

After Daoist Jin left, Su Ziyang packed up all of Daoist Jin's belongings and put them back in the courtyard.

Su Ziyang set up a separate room in the courtyard and put all the things that Daoist Jin had left for him inside.

"Zijun, don't you think Master Jin will achieve great success in his cultivation and fly back to see me?"

Su Ziyang polished the medical kit until it shone and placed it in the most conspicuous spot in the room.

"Yes, he will! Look at you! You've said it more than ten times today. Once he's achieved success in his cultivation, he'll definitely come back to see you!"

Fairy Li stood beside Su Ziyang and comforted him.

"That's good. That's good!"

Su Ziyang muttered to himself.

Daoist Jin's clinic was empty. After getting off work, Su Ziyang Su Ziyang subconsciously glanced into Daoist Jin's room, only to realize afterward that the room was empty.

For some reason, when Daoist Jin was making house calls here before, he didn't watch over Su Ziyang all day like he was a child. But now that Daoist Jin left, Su Ziyang suddenly feels empty inside, as if he doesn't feel safe.

A week later, a new doctor arrived at the Daoist Medicine Clinic and was assigned to Daoist Jin's consultation room.

This person was slightly older than Su Ziyang and also mainly treated internal medicine ailments.

With a new doctor in the house, Su Ziyang could no longer keep glancing into that room, and his previously uneasy heart finally settled down.

Su Ziyang has seen quite a few patients this week.

However, these are usually common illnesses such as headaches, fever, colds, stomach aches, and abdominal pains.

One day, a difficult and complicated illness came to Su Ziyang, leaving him stumped.

The eldest brother is 45 years old.

I had tinnitus for six months and now I'm deaf.

I had previously undergone active treatment with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but it still did not stop my hearing loss.

"Sigh, back then I did hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and all sorts of other things. I took a lot of medicine, all kinds of herbal decoctions and prepared Chinese medicines, and I even went through a whole bag of Zuoci pills, but it still didn't work."

The older man sat down and began to complain. Because he was deaf in one ear, his voice was so loud that Su Ziyang's ears were ringing.

"Big brother, please speak more quietly, I can hear you."

Su Ziyang rubbed his ears and said to the older man.

"Okay! Sure!"

The commotion is still so loud.

"..."

Su Ziyang was too lazy to say anything more and could only let his older brother call him that.

Do you have any good ideas?

The older brother continued to ask loudly.

Why do we say that when a patient comes to see a doctor, we should ask where they have seen a doctor before, what medications they have taken, and how effective they were?

This serves as a cautionary tale.

If the doctor's methods are effective, then continuing down this path is definitely the right thing to do.

If it doesn't work, abandon that approach and consider other aspects. This can reduce the error rate and improve the accuracy of your diagnosis.

Su Ziyang opened the medical records brought by the older brother, Su Ziyang had used the same methods.

The method mentioned here refers to the method of prescribing traditional Chinese medicine.

After studying his older brother for a long time, Su Ziyang realized that it seemed no medicine was suitable for him.

After learning about the patient's condition, Su Ziyang checked the pulse again and found that there was nothing unusual about it.

Looking at the tongue coating, the tongue is quite red, indicating a slight heat, but it's not a big problem. This tongue appearance is hardly enough to cause such a strong reaction.

If there is a whole, there are also individuals.

Where there is a macrocosm, there is a microcosm.

Su Ziyang believes that if the problem cannot be found by controlling it from a macro perspective, then it should be controlled from a micro perspective, from the local level.

If we can't identify the error in the diagnosis of the five internal organs and six bowels, then let's directly consider the local area.

"I can make a medicine here. Let's try it as a last resort, just to see if it works. If it cures you, that's great. If it doesn't, you can always find someone more skilled. Is that alright?"

Su Ziyang followed his older brother's words.

"Okay! I think it's a good idea! I've been to so many places, and you're the only doctor who speaks so politely. It makes me feel comfortable. Use whatever methods you have!"

The older brother was also helpless, but upon hearing Su Ziyang's gentle tone, he immediately agreed.

The method Su Ziyang mentioned is a type of ear medication.

Twist it into a small stick and put it into the ear; this can treat deafness and tinnitus.

"Ting" means to make into small pills, that's what it means.

"Brother, I've finished making it for you. Just keep it in your ear every day after you get home. I'll tell you how to do it in a bit! I've also prepared the medicine; go downstairs to pay and pick it up!"

Su Ziyang prescribed a few herbs and told the man to go and get them.

The medications prescribed by Su Ziyang are as follows.

15g of Asarum

15g of Acorus calamus

5g Sichuan pepper

Musk 5g

Rosin and beeswax, in appropriate amounts.

When his elder brother brought the medicine upstairs, Su Ziyang asked him to wait a moment and then went upstairs to his room.

Daoist Jin has left, and this house now belongs entirely to Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang first ground the three herbs, excluding musk, into a fine powder. Then he took out a small pot and poured in rosin and beeswax.

Once the rosin and beeswax have melted, add the medicinal powder, stir thoroughly, and finally add the musk powder.

Musk is very expensive in this prescription, so if you don't want to use it, you can omit it and just use the other three ingredients.

After Su Ziyang mixed the powder evenly, it turned into a paste-like substance, similar to mud.

After it cooled down a bit, Su Ziyang put the medicine into a bag and took it down.

When Su Ziyang came down, his older brother sat upright in his chair like a child, waiting for Su Ziyang to return.

After Su Ziyang returned, he taught the older brother how to roll out a pill of a certain size, then wrapped the pill in gauze and stuffed it into the older brother's deaf ear.

"Just insert it like this every day, and change it daily. Keep at it! This is the ointment, please keep it safe! Take it all back! Just use a little each day!"

After Su Ziyang explained everything, his older brother took the medicine and left.

A week later, the man returned, carrying a silk banner.

"Doctor! You're amazing! I used that medicine you gave me for three days, and I could hear again. The reason is that when I sleep, if I cover the ear that I can hear, the world becomes incredibly quiet, and I can't hear anything at all."

"After I took your medicine, one day I was lying on the sofa when my wife called me. I heard her! I didn't react at first; it was my wife who noticed and said I could hear her, and that's when I realized what was happening! Miracle doctor, miracle doctor!"

The older brother held Su Ziyang's hand and shook it repeatedly, refusing to let go.

"Thank you for the banner, thank you!"

Su Ziyang thanked him repeatedly.
