Seeing Lewis Lu's serious expression and without the slightest distraction in his eyes, the woman knew that she had misunderstood him and replied seriously, "My daughter said that she was cold."
Cold?
How could febrile symptoms be cold?
Lewis Lu frowned and stepped forward, "Madam, do you mind if I take your daughter's pulse?"
The woman nodded.
When it came to the issue of her daughter's life, of course the woman had to be cautious, one more diagnosis was one more insurance.
So Lewis Lu put his fingers on the girl's wrist.
"Although the pulse is clear, it is hollow and weak, and the body is clearly hot, but it feels cold instead ......"
Lewis Lu pinched the girl's index finger again and looked at it, and finally said in a grave tone, "This is not a febrile symptoms, but a cold symptoms."
cold symptoms?
As soon as these words came out, all those patients queuing up to see the doctor in the Xinglin Clinic did not hold back their laughter.
"Hahaha, young man are you teasing me, look at this child's forehead is almost as hot as a steamer, and you actually said that she is a heat evidence, that's really humorous."
"Yeah, other doctor Li said it's febrile symptoms, you still say the opposite, do you think your medical skills are even better than doctor Li's?"
"It's really going to make me die, hahaha ......"
Although these patients had not learnt medicine, but they had grown eyes ah, a clear-eyed person would know at a glance that this girl was feverish.
Cold symptoms, does these days lying do not need to draft?
The woman's face also changed, annoyed, said, "Do you know how to diagnose, do not blindly diagnose, are you responsible for it?"
Compared to Lewis Lu, she definitely trusted Peter Li's diagnosis more.
At this time, Peter Li also snorted coldly and said, "A new apprentice, who hasn't learnt much yet, dares to jump out and question my medical skills, how did Elsha Lin recruit someone like you in?"
As soon as Lewis Lu started talking about re-diagnosing the girl's pulse, Peter Li was already angry, but he didn't speak, instead he wanted to see what the hell this guy could diagnose.
If the diagnosis was consistent, Peter Li wouldn't have said anything, but this guy was so good that he directly diagnosed cold symptoms.
Wasn't this going against himself?
Of course Peter Li was angry.
"So you're a new apprentice, no wonder you're so impolite, Dr Li's medical skills are also comparable to someone at a half-assed level like you?"
"Young man, a word of advice, if you don't know, don't talk, what's the point of jumping out, to embarrass yourself?"
"Oh, Dr Li is the disciple of a national medical master, who are you, you can't even compare to one of Dr Li's toes."
"Young people nowadays just love claptrap!"
Once the crowd heard that Lewis Lu was a new apprentice, their mockery of him became even more undisguised.
"All shut up!"
At this moment, Lewis Lu suddenly shouted coldly, his gaze coldly sweeping over the crowd, "Wouldn't a disciple of a National Medical Master make a mistake? Is a disciple of a National Medical Master a god? Is a disciple of a National Medical Master not allowed to question? May I ask who gave you this illusion?"
His voice instantly shocked everyone.
Then, Lewis Lu looked at Peter Li again and questioned loudly, "cold within, heat outside, tell me what this is?"
Thump!
As if Peter Li was stunned by Lewis Lu's aura, he violently took a step back, and a bead of sweat suddenly rolled down from his temples.
The meaning of cold within, heat outside, was that the patient's body was coalescing with cold and heat floating outside, thus showing signs of heat, which was also referred to as 'True Cold and False Heat symptoms' in Chinese medicine, also known as 'Dai Yang symptoms'.
The symptoms of this kind of patient were a clear but weak pulse, a pale tongue with white tongue coating, a feverish body that wanted to add clothes, and thirst but didn't drink much, which was exactly in line with the little girl's situation.
It was only that this kind of symptoms was uncommon, and Peter Li had misdiagnosed it with a carelessness.
However, in the face of Lewis Lu's aggressiveness, Peter Li was fiercely clenching his teeth and said, "Nonsense, I don't even understand what you are saying."
At first, when the crowd saw Lewis Lu's vigorous words, they thought he was telling the truth, but after hearing Peter Li's words, they felt that Lewis Lu was talking nonsense.
Even Doctor Li had never heard of any 'True Cold or False Heat', so it must be false.
Lewis Lu's expression was awful as he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Quack doctor, you are simply a disgrace to the medical profession."
If Peter Li knew his mistakes and could correct them, it would not be a big deal, originally, medicine was about the need to constantly accumulate experience, and everyone made mistakes at times.
But this Peter Li, he was clearly wrong, but he still refused to admit it.
He didn't deserve to be a doctor.
"Who are you calling a quack?"
As soon as Peter Li heard Lewis Lu call him a quack, he became anxious.
Lewis Lu cursed again, "Quack doctor."
"Say that again?"
"Quack!"
Peter Li stormed out, almost about to rush up and fight with Lewis Lu, but at the sight of Lewis Lu's aura, he immediately wimped out again.
Lewis Lu was too lazy to bother with him and turned to the woman, "Madam, this White Tiger Soup really can't be eaten, let me help you change the medicine!"
"If I say it can be eaten, it can be eaten!"
Peter Li said loudly, but as soon as his words fell, a crisp slap suddenly rang out.
"What a fuck!"
Lewis Lu slapped Peter Li, clearly true anger.
A murderer who could disregard the life of a little girl in order to save his own face,who would not angry?
Lewis Lu of course knew what Peter Li was thinking.
Generally speaking, even if the Chinese medicine was taken wrongly, it would not endanger her life, and Peter Li could say that it was ineffective and re-prescribe a new pair of medicines for the little girl.
However, when Lewis Lu observed the little girl's index finger just now, he realised that her condition was already very serious and did not allow for a moment's delay.
So this White Tiger Soup was killing her if she ate it.
