It is not opened by box or bottle, but prescribed by granules according to different conditions.
Clinic doctor Wu Yinghui has insisted on this unique method of prescribing medicine for 18 years, and has won a good reputation in the Electric Power Village Community, Yangyuan Street, Wuchang District.

"I will eat as many as she prescribes for me"
At 7:40 a.m. on March 31, 66-year-old Wu Yinghui opened the small iron door of the clinic as usual, put on a white coat and began to sit in the clinic.
The old people get up early, and she is used to opening the door early.
The clinic is located in Room 102, Unit 1, Building 2, Power Xincun Community, and residents can come here after going downstairs.
It was a rainy day, and there were not many people seeing the doctor.
At 9:30, resident Zhang Huili came running out of breath. She was a little dizzy and asked Wu Yinghui to take her blood pressure.
"Sit down and take a rest. Did you take your medicine in the morning? Is it the one I prescribed you last time?" Wu Yinghui asked while measuring Zhang Huili's blood pressure.
The high pressure was 160 and the low pressure was 120. Wu Yinghui felt that something was wrong and asked, "When did you take the medicine? This medicine was changed for you. It shouldn't be this high in the morning. This antihypertensive medicine should be taken as soon as you get up." , Zhang Huili just took the medicine half an hour ago.
Seeing someone being interviewed, 78-year-old Zhang Huili kept introducing Wu Yinghui to reporters: "There are many antihypertensive drugs, and the efficacy varies from person to person. Dr. Wu's prescription is different from other places. She does not open a bottle, she will open a little first. , let me try. Sometimes she prescribes a few for me and I eat a few, and then come to her after eating."
Wu Yinghui's drawer is full of medicine boxes for dental, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and other diseases.
If the instructions are not half exposed outside the opened medicine box, most people will not find that there is basically only a part of these medicine boxes left, and some only have half a plate left.
Shortly after retiring from the Fourth Railway Hospital in 2004, Wu Yinghui opened the "Wuchang Wu Yinghui Western Medicine Internal Medicine Clinic" in the Electric Power Xincun Community.
This is an old community built in the 1950s. There are many elderly people in the community, and most of the family conditions are not good. "It is very wasteful to store more medicines at home."
Wu Yinghui took out a box of terfenadine tablets for the treatment of allergies. The box contained 12 tablets. She cut the tablet into two tablets, 6 tablets each.
She usually prescribes a 3-day supply, one tablet twice a day, exactly 6 tablets.
Wu Yinghui said: "I think about saving a little for the elderly, so I prescribe medicines according to the number of days. If there is an effect, it will not be wasted. If there is no effect, I will change the medicine in time."
Over the years, the living conditions of the residents have gradually improved, but everyone has developed the habit of asking Wu Yinghui to prescribe a few medicines for three diseases and two pains.
Wu Yinghui said: "Health is a big thing for the common people. I hope the elderly can spend a little money to do big things."
Wu Yinghui hung up a stethoscope, took an umbrella and a sphygmomanometer to see the doctor.
"One call, Dr. Wu will come to the door"
At 11 am, Wu Yinghui's cell phone suddenly rang.
After answering the phone, she hung up the stethoscope, took an umbrella and a blood pressure monitor and was ready to go out.
She treats residents in the community all year round, and the sphygmomanometer is an important inspection tool that Wu Yinghui never leaves.
"I know the main symptoms of the elderly, and I have an impression of what medicines they take. It shouldn't be a problem. Let's check the blood pressure first." Wu Yinghui said.
The person who called was Yang Muxiang, a resident. She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted Wu Yinghui to come and take a look.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, but residents who know Wu Yinghui will greet her warmly: Dr. Wu is good.
Familiar with the door and the road, she turned a few corners in the community, and she climbed to the 5th floor of Yang Muxiang's house.
Yang Muxiang is 74 years old and lives alone.
At 8 pm on March 8, Wu Yinghui received a call from Yang Muxiang, who felt uncomfortable.
After describing her symptoms, Wu Yinghui advised her to go to the hospital immediately.
The doctor asked to be hospitalized, and Yang Muxiang did not go home until the 16th.
On the 31st, she just went to the hospital to send a urine sample for testing. Although the result came out in the afternoon, Yang Muxiang was a little worried, and she wanted Wu Yinghui to show her the previous test list.
The index of creatinine and protein in the urine sample was high, and Yang Muxiang's kidneys had some problems.
Wu Yinghui reassured her: "Don't worry, the test sheet doesn't seem to have any other major problems. You can take it to my clinic for a look after the results in the afternoon." After reading the test sheet, Wu Yinghui took Yang Muxiang's blood pressure again, and the blood pressure was normal.
Yang Muxiang said: "For the elderly living in our community, as long as a phone call is made by Dr. Wu, she will come to the door. Her mobile phone will not be turned off 24 hours a day. As long as she says there is no problem, I will have a bottom line."
Although she has her own clinic, Wu Yinghui does not see everything.
She still does health consultation most of the time, giving medical advice based on symptoms, teaching the elderly to adjust their diet, and teaching the children of the elderly how to care for them.
The usual consultations are free, and there is no extra charge for door-to-door service.
Wu Yinghui said: "The elderly won't bother me unless they have to, and I can't make them have a psychological burden when I come to the door."
Wu Yinghui cut open the medicine board and prescribed medicine in terms of pills.
"We all treat Dr. Wu as a friend"
In order to better serve the residents, the community arranges free clinic services every week.
Since 2020, Wu Yinghui has taken the initiative to take over this job.
Every Tuesday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, Wu Yinghui will show up at the Party and Mass Service Center on time, and the door of her own clinic will be hung with a sign that reads "come after 11 o'clock".
Residents have also developed a habit, and everyone will consciously go to the queue.
In addition to health consultation, the free clinic mainly measures blood pressure.
Residents line up in an orderly manner, Wu Yinghui operates the blood pressure monitor, and resident Wang Min is recording.
Wu Yinghui showed reporters several records of residents' blood pressure, and each page was neatly filled with residents' health status. Make health advice.
Wang Min is not a doctor, she is a volunteer, and she goes to help every free clinic.
Wang Min said: "We have lived in the community for more than ten years. Almost everyone has gone to Dr. Wu's clinic to see a doctor, and some people have moved out and will come back to see a doctor. Dr. Wu is a friend. We used to travel with Dr. Wu, and some residents would give her food and help her fix things.”
Xie Ting, deputy secretary of the community, said that after receiving the health needs of the residents, the community will contact Wu Yinghui as soon as possible, and she will come to the door with the community grid members, "Dr. Wu is always active in serving community residents, and the residents are very recognized. she".
Except for free clinic hours, the clinic is open 7 days a week.
During the reporter's interview, either someone in the clinic came to see a doctor, or someone came to chat with Wu Yinghui.
The small clinic has become a favorite health station for residents.
Wu Yinghui said: "I was 48 years old when I first opened the clinic, and I am 66 years old this year. I have also changed from a young person to an elderly person. I have a pension, and I insist on opening the clinic, not to make money, but to use my residual energy to make money. The old people do more. I hope that when I am old and unable to move, there will be people who will take care and care of me like I am now. I am a party member, and serving the common people is my original intention. "
