Chapter 155 - Going to the Hospital (3)
“Mom, what is this?” JingJing pinched her nose and looked at the pot of medicine in horror .
“Chinese herbal medicine . ” Recalling its taste from earlier, Shu Yan couldn't help but shuddered . “Go back to sleep . Mom will be there soon . ”
Shu Yan mixed the powder medicine with egg white and apply onto her face . It felt taut on her face . The girl said to keep it on for 30 minutes but Shu Yan couldn’t last more than 15 . It was even worse when she tried to wash it off . With egg white mixed in, it was stuck to her face like scars and was very difficult to wash off . She spent about half an hour trying to wash it off . Some of it got onto her hair and made it smell like egg and herbal medicine . She had to wash her hair one more time . Shu Yan was ready to give up right about now .
That night, Shu Yan had a slight stomachache and ran to the bathroom a few times . She was a little dispirited the next morning when she got up .
JingJing could see that her mother wasn’t feeling well . “Mom, are you sick?”
“I’m fine . Just not feeling too well . ” She suddenly felt that perhaps she had rushed into it in her desperation . The customer meant well but the folk prescription might not work for her . She should have shown it to an experienced herbalist first .
After she had dropped the kids off, Shu Yan ran back home and headed straight to the bathroom . She was certain she was having diarrhea now . She hadn’t ate much the past two days so the problem was definitely with the herbal medicine that she had the night before .
Never mind about heading into the shop, her legs were weak .
She had diarrhea for the entire day and Shu Yan just felt weak . She took some saline water and forced herself to go pick up her kids .
“Oh my gosh! What’s happening to you?” Wu Xiuyue was shocked when she saw Shu Yan . “Your face and lips are white . What’s wrong?”
“Meh . I had diarrhea all day long,” said Shu Yan weakly .

“Diarrhea, huh . You need to be careful wit that . It didn’t seem like a big deal but it could be fatal . You should go see a doctor,” said Lin Hui as well .
“Let me pick my kids up first . ” Shu Yan also felt that she probably should go see a doctor .
“Forget about that . I’ll pick them up for you and they can have dinner at my place tonight . Take yourself to the hospital . What’s going to happen to the kids if you are sick?” Wu Xiuyue didn’t agree with Shu Yan’s plan .
Shu Yan thought about it for a little while, thanked Wu Xiuyue, and decided to head over to the hospital first .
Luckily the hospital wasn’t too far away and she arrived there within a few minutes . If it was any further away, Shu Yan wasn’t sure if she wouldn’t pass out on her way there . She went straight to the emergency room and told them what had happened . The face of the old doctor who was on staff darkened . “This is ridiculous . You can’t just take folk prescription like that . ”
“I was desperate . Doctor, please give me some medicines, otherwise I’ll… . Pardon me, I need to run to the bathroom . ” Shu Yan quickly ran out of the door, only to come back in a moment later and asked, “Doctor, where is the bathroom?”

“Head left and go all the way to the end . ”
“Thank you . ”
After coming back from the bathroom, the doctor dissolved a packet of medicinal powder into water for Shu Yan . “I’ll give you some medicines for you to take at home for now . If you don’t get any better you will need to come back for IV . You youngsters are too brave . It’s stupid to take medicines without knowing what they do . ”
“I know I am wrong . I’ve learned my lesson . ” Shu Yan accepted the criticism from the old doctor .
She did feel better after taking the medicine but the diarrhea was still bad . The next morning, Shu Yan handed her two children over to Wu Xiuyue and headed to the hospital again, bringing the herbs from the prescription with her .
“I feel slightly better but the diarrhea is still pretty bad . Plus, doctor, is there a traditional medicine department in this hospital? I want to show these to them,” said Shu Yan with her hand over her stomach .
The old doctor looked at the prescription and the herbs and said, “This prescription is for cooling of your body, getting rid of toxin, and constipation . Normal people who take them will have diarrhea but not as serious as you have it . Give me your hand, let me check your pulse . ”

“You know tradition medicines?” Shu Yan looked at the old doctor in surprise .
The old doctor casted her a glance and said, “What? You don’t believe me? Then you can go to the traditional medicine department . ”
“No, no . I am just surprised . ” Shu Yan quickly reached out her hand . Many of the traditional medicine had lost their lineage after that major event and many had switched career paths . It’d make sense that one would become a regular doctor . Perhaps she had ran into a miracle doctor hiding in the city .
The old doctor took her pulse and said, “You body is weak and your nature is cold . Which was why a prescription for cooling your and clearing toxin had such an effect on you . You can’t take these medications . The spots on your face has nothing to do with your lower GI . I’ll give you a new prescription . Give it a try and come back after one treatment . ”
Comparing to the folk prescription, Shu Yan had more faith in the doctor, naturally . She picked up 10 sets of medicinal herbs on her way back to give them a try .
She had also shown the doctor the facial mask prescription as well . There was nothing harmful in it, but the doctor still did not recommend her to use it too often .
