The Sweetest Medicine

Yu Gangan was worried about her Master Handsome so she called several friends in Baiyang City to check and confirmed that Nanzhen Street had indeed begun demolition.

In the end, she guessed she had been overthinking the situation.

If she was to stay in Beijing and study, the first person she thought of was Elder Huang.

Not only was Elder Huang a representative of the Classical Prescription School and a famous authoritative figure in Beijing’s Chinese medicine community, he was also the honorary dean and doctoral tutor at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Previously, Elder Huang had asked her to consult at the Royal Medical Hall. Since she decided to stay in Beijing, the Royal Medical Hall was the best option.

The Royal Medical Hall belonged to the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and it focused on specialties and specific diseases. Not only was it home to many old, nationally accredited Chinese medicine doctors with ancient and modern skills, there were also many talented young experts and doctors who studied Chinese and Western medicine there.

This was also the place where her grandfather once worked. Yu Gangan had once dreamed of working there and saving lives.

Yu Gangan gave Elder Huang a phone call. The man happened to be at the Royal Medical Hall, so he told her to directly look for him there.

The halls and corridors of the medical hall were full of people, and almost every doctor had a long queue of waiting numbers.

Elder Huang only consulted at the Royal Medical Hall two mornings a week.

Those that wanted to see him had to make an appointment in advance. It was relatively hard to see him. Most people had to wait 3 months to get to the front of his queue.

Outside the clinic, there was a registration table and chair with a nurse behind it.

Yu Gangan walked over and asked, “Hello, is Elder Huang here?”

The nurse looked at Yu Gangan and smiled, “What’s your name?”

“Yu Gangan.”

Assuming that Yu Gangan was a patient, she flipped her appointment register for quite some time, “I can’t find your name.”

“I’m not a patient. I’m simply here to look for Elder Huang,” Yu Gangan smiled, hoping she would let her in.

But, the woman rejected her. She was both polite and strict, “I’m sorry, I can’t let you in if you don’t have an appointment. If you agreed to meet with Elder Huang, please give him a phone call.”

Many people had tried this method to jump the queue because Elder Huang never checked if they had an appointment, so she had to guard the entrance well.

Those that came to see Elder Huang included government officials and influential figures, but no matter who they were, if they didn’t have an appointment, they needed to join the queue and wait.

Yu Gangan understood.

She stepped away, grabbed her phone from her bag, and dialed Elder Huang’s number.

Elder Huang was probably in the middle of a consultation and his phone was on silent, so even after calling a few times, he did not answer.

Seeing that the time was almost midday and Elder Huang was about to finish work, she decided to wait outside for him to finish.

Yu Gangan found a chair in the corridor and sat down while she sent a message to tell Elder Huang where she was.

At that time, a young, fashionable, good-looking young woman supporting a middle-aged woman walked in looking for a chair. The middle-aged woman was pale, her lips were dry, and she looked weak.

Yu Gangan immediately stood up and gave her seat to the woman.

“Thank you, thank you,” the young woman said twice as she helped the middle-aged woman sit down, “Mom, slowly.”

The woman was weak as she panted and leaned back against the chair.

Yu Gangan leaned against a wall and looked at them as she casually asked, “What’s wrong with this Madam?”

The young woman frowned and sighed, “Chronic food poisoning. The hospital prescribed her some medicine, but she was hospitalized for over a month and still did not recover. They then prescribed her more medicine, told her to go home and rest, and arranged for her to return for another consultation in a month.”
