268- Consultation Fee (诊金)
Jing Yun Zhao herself was sure that if it wasn’t for the prescriptions she obtained, even god wouldn’t be able to save this little boy. So without wasting anymore time, she said, “Let me use your kitchen to prepare the medicine, and while I prepare it, I hope that you won’t come in for the time being.”
The medicine box that Jing Yun Zhao brought had some of the commonly used medicine, but it wasn’t much and she had to take some from her Space.
Both the woman and the old lady nodded their head cooperatively.
Seeing their cooperation, Jing Yun Zhao relaxed and started preparing the medicine. She prepared a certain amount of aconite, dried ginger, roasted licorice, Korean ginseng, cornu cervi pantotrichum 1, raw longmu powder, live magnetite powder and musk, then simmered them in a jar over moderate heat.
A normal dosage of aconite was around 10 grams, but the amount of aconite Jing Yun Zhao was using was well over a 100 grams. However the roasted licorice prepared by Jing Yun Zhao has the effect of neutralising aconite’s toxicity, serving as a counter to aconite’s poisonous nature.
Outside the kitchen, both the woman and the old lady was waiting nervously,
And so, Jing Yun Zhao gave the medicine to the patient after boiling it.
A few hours later, the little boy woke up and Jing Yun Zhao finally let loose a little sigh.
‘Miracle doctor! Thank you so much Dr. Jing! The words of Old Man Xu were clearly not a lie!” The woman was also about to kneel in gratitude but Jing Yun Zhao prevented her from doing so.
Jing Yun Zhao still had to treat 4 other patients today, and now that one of the patients was awake, it could be considered that her career has started off with a bang. Especially when the illness the little boy was suffering from was considered lethal, but now that he drank the concoction, there shouldn’t be any problems in the future.
“I’ll go first since I still have other patients to treat. The prescription doses are already prepared, you just have to feed the little boy on time.” Jing Yun Zhao said as she was preparing to leave.
“Hold on!” the woman shouted, causing Jing Yun Zhao to think that there was something wrong. However when she turned her around, all she saw was an envelope shoved into her face, “Dr. Jing you forgot your consultation fee!?” the woman continued.
Consultation fee?
Previously, she mostly went with Grandpa Gan on his visits to treat patients and the consultation fee for the visit would’ve been accepted beforehand, hence why Jing Yun Zhao forgot about the consultation fee, causing her to be embarrassed.
However looking at the envelope filled with cash, isn’t it too much? Jing Yun Zhao thought.
Based on her understanding, the consultation fee for Grandpa Gan was a few 100 dollars because he was famous, and if a prescription is prescribed, the price will be stated separately, and the medicine fee will also be paid separately, but regardless of whether the disease is treated or not, the consultation fee cannot be less.
But looking at the envelope, there was around 200,000 dollars.
“Last night we asked Old Man Xu about the fees and he said that you were his half-disciple; that the consultation fee you would receive could not be the same as his…hence why you only got…” the woman said with some hesitation, afraid that Jing Yun Zhao would think that it was too little.
Hearing this, Jing Yun Zhao’s doubts were cleared and she accepted the money.
Then she realized, Old Man Xu had a mysterious identity, needless to say that the people finding him for treatment would have irregular illnesses and mysterious identities too. Additionally, this 200,000 dollars wasn’t a sum that normal folks could fork out as it was a few years of earnings for the middle class. Adding on to the fact that although this house was a private house, from the few hours that she was there, she noticed that the costs to maintain the house were not cheap and this family rented the house just to treat their child.
A doctor accepting payment was obvious.
Hence why the worries of the patient’s family decreased after seeing Jing Yun Zhao accept the money.
With that, Jing Yun Zhao left to treat the other patients.
The condition of the remaining 4 patients wasn’t as fierce as the first patient. Jing Yun Zhao gave them a prescription and called them to follow it daily and scheduled the following check-up next week.
However, one thing in common with the 4 other families was that the consultation fee they gave wasn’t a small amount. Just for the consultation fee, and each family already gave 10,000 dollars. Although there were still 2 families that suspected her credibility, they still treated her respectfully on behalf of Old Man Xu’s reputation.
