With a heart full of joy, Su Mu set off on his journey home, and after a long trek, he finally returned to the familiar and beloved little town of his childhood.
Every blade of grass and every tree here held memories from his youth, 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 eagerly followed his parents, learning the practical skills of traditional Chinese medicine with great enthusiasm.
From diagnosis to prescription and herbal preparation, he left no stone unturned, diligently observing and humbly seeking guidance, continuously accumulating valuable clinical experience.
As night fell and the bustling town gradually quieted down, Su Mu would quietly enter his study, light an oil lamp, and gently open the mysterious book of Daoist medicine left by his grandfather—The Medical Canon of Heavenly Secrets.
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 and esoteric knowledge of divination and hexagrams, as if this wondrous knowledge opened 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 theories from The Medical Canon of Heavenly Secrets with the practical experience in traditional Chinese medicine 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 raging fire. Thus, he began this grand journey of exploration.
As his research deepened, Su Mu was astonished to discover numerous astonishing commonalities among these three fields!
The Daoist principle of "unity between heaven and man" aligned perfectly with the holistic perspective emphasized in traditional Chinese medicine; while the principle of "differentiated treatment" in traditional Chinese medicine effectively complemented any potential oversights in Daoist diagnostics.
As for Western medicine's precision and speed, they aptly filled the gaps that traditional Chinese and Daoist medicine might encounter 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 medical knowledge. All he needed to do was gently push open that door to uncover countless treasures waiting for him to explore.
At Doctor Hua Li's place, Su Mu brought back a precious medicinal herb known as "Snow Lotus Essence."
According to The Medical Canon of Heavenly Secrets, this herb possessed miraculous healing properties. However, how could its effects be maximized?
After repeated experiments and contemplation, combining relevant knowledge from Daoist medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine, Su Mu finally found the answer.
This successful experience deepened his understanding and insights into drug development while solidifying his determination to continue exploring the mysteries of medicine.
On a bright sunny morning, the bustling streets were filled with people busy with their own affairs.
Suddenly, a heavily pregnant woman appeared in the crowd. She clutched her protruding belly with one hand while leaning against the wall with the other, her face contorted in pain as each step seemed to take immense effort.
Her complexion was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, as if she were enduring great torment.
With heavy footsteps, she finally reached the entrance of the clinic and summoned her last ounce of strength to cry out, “Doctor Su, help me! My belly... it hurts so much!” Her voice was weak and trembling, evoking immediate sympathy from those who heard her.
Upon hearing her cries, Su Mu and his parents, who were busy inside the clinic, quickly set aside their work and rushed to her side.
Seeing the state of the pregnant woman, Su Mu's parents immediately asked with concern, “Miss, don’t panic. Take your time and tell us what’s wrong.” The woman gritted her teeth against the pain and managed to say, “I’m full term now. This morning I suddenly felt intense abdominal cramps, and my water broke. It feels like I’m about to give birth…”
Su Mu's parents were seasoned practitioners with years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine; they recognized immediately that the woman's condition was critical.
They swiftly assisted her 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 a pressing concern: the clinic in this remote town had very limited medical resources, and the nearest hospital was several dozen kilometers away. If they attempted to transport her there, it was unlikely that her body could withstand such a long journey.
“What are we going to do? Time is running out; we can’t get her to the hospital!” Su Mu exclaimed anxiously.
Just then, an idea struck Su Mu. He remembered reading about acupressure techniques for aiding childbirth in an ancient text called "The Medical Secrets."
He thought that perhaps these methods could be worth trying to help facilitate a smooth delivery for the woman.
“Mom, let me help!” Su Mu said. “There are some massage techniques in 'The Medical Secrets' that might alleviate her pain and assist with delivery.”
Although Su Mu's mother wasn’t well-versed in Daoist practices, given the urgency of the situation, she decided to give it a shot.
Following Su Mu's instructions and drawing on her extensive experience in childbirth, she began to massage the pregnant woman.
Su Mu stood quietly beside them, his gaze focused intently on the woman in labor. 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 delivering babies, the profound theoretical knowledge he had accumulated during medical school and precious memories of watching his mother skillfully assist births during his childhood flashed through his mind like scenes from a movie at this critical moment.
The atmosphere in the clinic grew tense yet filled with anticipation.
The pregnant woman occasionally let out painful groans, each sound tightening the hearts of everyone present.
However, accompanying her was the gentle yet firm encouragement from Su Mu's mother, like a warm ray of sunshine piercing through dark clouds, providing the pregnant woman with endless strength and courage.
At this critical moment, Su Mu suddenly recalled the unique massage technique recorded 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, drawing on years of accumulated birthing expertise, 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, smiling at the exhausted yet blissful mother and said, "Congratulations! It's a lovely baby boy!"
Hearing this, the mother's face broke into a weak yet immensely grateful smile. She gazed at Su Mu and his mother with eyes full of appreciation, her lips trembling as she said, "Thank you... I truly can't thank you enough..." In that moment, joy and emotion intertwined, filling the entire clinic.
Su Mu also wore a relieved smile.
He felt deeply the greatness and wonder of life.
This experience further solidified his determination to delve into the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual," vowing to integrate the essence of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Taoist healing to provide comprehensive medical care for those in need.
