Zhao Chengliang held his pen but didn't rush to write a prescription. He narrowed his eyes, his mind racing as he considered which formula would be best.
If this were a normal consultation with such a patient, he certainly wouldn't be putting this much thought into it. He would only need to determine the severity and urgency of the four-fold pulse before prescribing medication. First, he would address the acute and severe symptoms. After treating those, he would write a new prescription to handle the milder, slower-progressing conditions.
Although such a treatment plan would take a little longer and require several different prescriptions, its strength was its reliability.
But this kind of treatment method was unsuitable for a Prescription Medicine competition.
It was too ordinary; it wouldn't show off his skill!
