With a heart full of joy, Su Mu set off on his journey home, finally returning to the familiar and beloved small town after a long and arduous trip.
Every blade of grass and every tree here held memories of his childhood, and each street felt so warm and inviting.
Upon arriving home, Su Mu wasted no time and immediately immersed himself in the work at his family's clinic.
During the day, he followed closely behind his parents, eagerly learning the practical skills of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
From observation and diagnosis to prescribing and dispensing medicine, he spared no effort in each step, diligently observing and humbly seeking advice, constantly accumulating valuable clinical experience.
As night fell and the bustling town gradually quieted down, Su Mu would quietly enter the study, light an oil lamp, and gently open the mysterious book left by his grandfather—the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual."
This ancient medical text had yellowed with age, but the lost Daoist medical techniques recorded within shone like brilliant stars in the night sky, radiating an enchanting glow.
Moreover, it contained profound knowledge of Gua Shu and divination methods. This wondrous knowledge seemed to open a door to another world for Su Mu, significantly enhancing his understanding of medicine.
In his daily research, Su Mu had a sudden inspiration: why not integrate the Daoist Physician theories from the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual" with the Traditional Chinese Medicine practices taught by his parents and the Western medical knowledge he learned at school?
Once this bold idea took root, it burned fiercely in his heart like a wildfire. Thus began his great journey of exploration.
As his research deepened, Su Mu was astonished to discover numerous astonishing similarities among these three fields!
The Daoist Physician's advocacy for the concept of "unity between heaven and man" aligned perfectly with Traditional Chinese Medicine's emphasis on a holistic view; meanwhile, Traditional Chinese Medicine's principle of "differentiated treatment" could effectively complement any oversights that might occur in diagnosing conditions according to Daoist Physician methods.
As for Western medicine's precision and speed, it aptly filled in the gaps that both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Daoist Physician approaches might have when treating certain acute conditions.
This perfect complementary relationship thrilled Su Mu; he felt as if he stood at the threshold of a treasure trove of medicine. With just a gentle push on that door, countless treasures awaited him to discover.
At Hua Li Physician's place, Su Mu brought back a precious medicinal herb known as "Snow Lotus Essence."
According to the records in the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual," this herb possessed miraculous medicinal properties. However, how could its effects be maximized?
After repeated experiments and reflections, combining knowledge from Daoist Physician practices, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western medicine, Su Mu finally found the answer.
This successful experience deepened his understanding and insights into drug development while also solidifying his determination to continue exploring the mysteries of medicine.
On a sunny morning, the bustling streets were filled with people busy with their own affairs.
Suddenly, a heavily pregnant woman appeared in the crowd. She held her prominently swollen belly with one hand while using the wall for support with the other, her face contorted in pain, each step appearing to be an immense struggle.
The woman's complexion was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, as if she were enduring tremendous torment.
With heavy steps, she finally reached the entrance of the clinic and, using her last ounce of strength, cried out, "Doctor Su, please help me! My belly... it hurts so much!" Her voice was weak and trembling, evoking immediate sympathy.
Upon hearing her cry, Doctor Su and his parents, who were busy inside the clinic, quickly set aside their work and rushed to her side.
Seeing the woman in such distress, Doctor Su's parents hurriedly asked, "Miss, don’t panic. Take your time and tell us what’s happening." The woman gritted her teeth against the pain and managed to say in broken sentences, "I’m full term... this morning I suddenly felt intense abdominal pain, and my water has broken. I think I’m about to give birth..."
With years of experience as seasoned practitioners of traditional medicine, Doctor Su's parents immediately recognized the urgency of the situation.
They swiftly helped the woman onto a bed and began a thorough examination. After assessing her condition, they confirmed that she was indeed on the verge of labor.
However, there was cause for concern: the clinic in this remote town had very limited medical facilities, and the nearest hospital was several dozen kilometers away. If they attempted to transport her there, it was unlikely her body could withstand such a long journey.
"What are we going to do? Time is running out; we can't get her to a hospital!" Doctor Su said anxiously.
Just then, an idea struck Doctor Su. He remembered reading about certain acupoint massage techniques that could assist with natural childbirth in an ancient text titled "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual."
He thought that perhaps these methods could be worth trying to help the woman deliver smoothly.
"Mom, let me help!" Doctor Su exclaimed. "The 'Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual' has some massage techniques that might alleviate her pain and facilitate delivery."
Although Doctor Su's mother was not well-versed in Daoist medicine, given the urgency of the situation, she decided to give it a try.
Following Doctor Su's instructions and drawing from her extensive experience in childbirth, she began to massage the woman.
Doctor Su stood quietly beside them, his gaze focused intently on the laboring woman. He held a towel and a hot water bottle tightly in his hands, ready to pass them to his mother at any moment.
Despite having majored in Western medicine without any practical experience in assisting births himself, the deep theoretical knowledge he had accumulated during medical school and vivid memories from childhood of watching his mother skillfully deliver babies flashed through his mind like scenes from a movie at this critical moment.
The atmosphere in the clinic was tense yet filled with anticipation.
The pregnant woman occasionally let out painful groans, each sound tightening the hearts of everyone present.
However, accompanying her were the gentle yet firm words of encouragement from Su Mu's mother, like a warm ray of sunshine piercing through dark clouds, providing the expectant mother with endless strength and courage.
In this critical moment, Su Mu suddenly recalled the unique massage techniques documented in the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual.
He carefully placed his hands on the woman's abdomen and began to gently massage according to the steps outlined in the book.
Meanwhile, his mother, with years of accumulated expertise in childbirth, methodically guided the entire delivery process.
The two forces intertwined and complemented each other, making what could have been a difficult labor surprisingly smooth.
Finally, amidst a loud cry, a new life was born! Su Mu's mother joyfully cradled the newborn baby and smiled at the exhausted yet blissful mother, saying, "Congratulations! It's a lovely baby boy!"
Upon hearing this, the mother's face broke into a weak but immensely grateful smile. She gazed at Su Mu and his mother with eyes full of appreciation and said, "Thank you... I truly can't thank you enough..." In that moment, joy and emotion intertwined, filling the entire medical hall.
Su Mu also wore a satisfied smile.
He felt deeply the greatness and wonder of life.
This experience further solidified his determination to delve into the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual and commit himself to integrating the essence of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Daoist Physician practices to provide comprehensive healing for others.
