On Su Wanrong's medical journey, she faced an unprecedented challenge: an elderly general named Li Yuan who suffered from a rare and difficult-to-diagnose disease, leaving him bedridden and weak for a long time.
Despite the efforts of many renowned doctors, General Li's condition did not improve. After taking on the case, Su Wanrong was determined to conduct in-depth research and find a way to treat him. She spent several days and nights consulting a large number of medical texts, combining her own clinical experience and traditional Chinese medicine theory to conduct thorough analysis and research.
Su Wanrong discovered that General Li's illness was related to the traumas he had suffered on the battlefield over the years, which led to deep-seated blood stasis and internal organ dysfunction. She decided to use a combination therapy, combining acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and specific qigong breathing techniques to address the root problem.
At the beginning of the treatment, Su Wanrong precisely stimulated specific acupoints to promote the flow of qi and blood, while also providing General Li with a specially formulated herbal decoction for internal regulation. In addition, she taught General Li a series of qigong exercises to help strengthen his constitution and accelerate his recovery.
As time passed, General Li's body gradually regained vitality, and his previous weakness noticeably improved. He gratefully said to Su Wanrong, "Doctor Su, your treatment has given me a new lease on life, a feeling I haven't had in many years."
Su Wanrong modestly responded, " General Li, it is my honor to help you recover. The wonder of traditional Chinese medicine lies in harmonizing the whole body. Treatment is not just about addressing the illness, but more importantly, restoring the balance of body and mind."
Su Wanrong, while working at the imperial medical center, has begun to study ancient philosophy, particularly developing a deep interest in Daoist philosophy and the theory of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.
She believes that there is an inseparable relationship between medicine and philosophy, which is crucial for understanding the relationship between life, illness, and treatment.
One day, Su Wanrong saw a patient named Liu Laofuzi, who is a knowledgeable old scholar suffering from chronic respiratory disease. Liu Laofuzi has unique insights into both medicine and philosophy, and he engaged in deep discussions with Su Wanrong.
Liu Laozi said, "Su Dafu, I have observed your approach to treatment and found that your understanding of the illness goes beyond the surface, delving into a deeper level of life philosophy. This is very rare."
Su Wanrong replied, "Liu Lao, I believe that medicine should not only treat physical ailments but should also be a profound understanding and respect for the essence of life. Through studying philosophy, I can better appreciate the true meaning of health and integrate these concepts into my treatment methods."
Master Liu nodded in approval, "Not bad. The combination of medicine and philosophy can enable the healer to achieve a state of unity of mind and body, and better grasp the art of treatment."
In her exchanges with Master Liu, Su Wanrong was deeply inspired. She began to apply philosophical principles to practical therapy, especially when dealing with complex and difficult cases. She often analyzed problems from a broader perspective and found the point of intervention for treatment.
Su Wanrong's approach to treatment has gradually gained recognition and praise from peers and patients. She has not only achieved great success in medicine, but also developed her own insights and understanding in philosophy.
She has held multiple lectures in the medical hall, sharing her experiences and insights on integrating medicine with philosophy. This has attracted numerous medical students and scholars to attend, sparking widespread discussion and research.
Su Wanrong's medical journey has led her into the profound world of pharmacology, where she has developed a strong interest in the mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine and the interactions between medications. She has begun to delve into ancient medical texts, exploring the essence of medications and the mysteries of treatment.
In the daily clinic at the medical center, Su Wanrong encountered a patient named Zheng Lao Tai who suffered from multiple chronic illnesses and had been taking various medications with little improvement and many side effects. Su Wanrong decided to conduct a comprehensive examination and medication assessment for Zheng Lao Tai.
Through careful diagnosis and medication analysis, Su Wanrong found that there were drug interactions in Zheng Lao Tai's treatment plan, leading to reduced effectiveness and increased risk of side effects. Su Wanrong decided to adjust the treatment plan by selecting a combination of medications to achieve complementary effects.
She selected specific Chinese herbal medicines, which not only effectively targeted Zheng's symptoms but also enhanced each other's therapeutic effects and reduced adverse reactions. Su Wanrong also combined dietary therapy and gentle qigong exercises to help Zheng regulate her body and improve her immunity.
After several weeks of adjustment and treatment, Zheng's condition has significantly improved. Her physical strength has recovered, her symptoms have lessened, and her quality of life has greatly improved. Zheng excitedly said to Su Wanrong, "Doctor Su, you are truly my savior. I have never felt this good in years!"
Su Wanrong replied, "Mrs. Zheng, I am very happy to help improve your health. Traditional Chinese medicine is not only about treating diseases, but also an art that teaches us how to harmonize the body and mind, and pursue a healthy life."
Through this experience, Su Wanrong became even more convinced of the importance of pharmacology. She held lectures in the medical hall, sharing her discoveries and insights in drug research and treatment practices with other doctors and scholars, promoting the progress and development of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology.
Her efforts have not only improved her medical skills, but also contributed to the modernization and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine, making its therapeutic effects more precise and reliable, bringing hope and health to more patients.
Su Wanrong's outstanding performance at the imperial medical institution, coupled with her achievements in literature, philosophy, and martial arts, quickly spread her reputation throughout the Zhou Dynasty. She was not only respected by court officials and nobles, but also became a legendary figure among the common people, with many young women regarding her as a role model and a goal to aspire to.
At a court banquet, Su Wanrong was specially invited to explain the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Daoist philosophy to the guests. She eloquently explained the relationship between qi, blood, yin, yang, and the five elements, as well as how to achieve the goals of treating illness and nurturing health through harmonizing qi and blood.
A young noblewoman named Lin Wan'er was deeply inspired by Su Wanrong's explanation. After the banquet, she approached Su Wanrong and softly said, "Doctor Su, today I was greatly enlightened by your explanation of the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy. I have always been interested in medicine. I wonder if I could become your student and learn more about medical knowledge?"
Looking at the sincerity and eagerness in Lin Wan'er's eyes, Su Wanrong gently smiled and said, "Miss Wan'er, you are exceptionally talented and your determination is admirable. Although I dare not assume the title of 'teacher', if you are willing to learn, I will do my best to impart my knowledge to you."
Lin Wan'er was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Su Wanrong to express her gratitude. From then on, Lin Wan'er became Su Wanrong's student, following her to learn traditional Chinese medicine knowledge and treatment techniques.
