At the outpatient clinic today, a patient brought in a prescription from Guang’anmen Hospital, photographed with a phone, asking me to copy it. The diagnosis wasn’t captured in the photo, but when I looked at the prescription itself, I was quietly startled.
Astragalus 15g Red Peony Root 10g Saposhnikovia 8g wine-processed Glossy Privet Fruit 10g
Poria 12g wine-processed Polygonatum 15g Angelica sinensis 10g bran-fried Atractylodes macrocephala 10g
Stir-fried Sour Jujube Seed 15g
Prescriptions like this are rare in clinical practice nowadays. The first three herbs are intimately familiar to me — they come straight from Wang Qingren’s Huangqi Chifeng Tang (Astragalus, Red Peony, and Saposhnikovia Decoction). The selection of the remaining herbs is exquisitely refined — unmistakably the hand of a true master.
When I glanced at the signature line and saw the three characters “Xue Boshou” stamped backward onto the paper, everything clicked. A nationally renowned TCM physician — truly deserving of the reputation.
I sincerely hope that Master Xue’s art will be effectively passed on to the next generation.
P.S. According to insider information, Master Xue’s registration fee at Guang’anmen Hospital is currently 500 yuan — and getting an appointment is nearly impossible.

今日门诊时，有人拿来一张广安门医院的处方要求抄方，处方使用手机拍摄的，没有拍到诊断，但我看到处方内容的时候暗暗一惊：
黄芪15g 赤芍10g 防风8g 酒女贞子10g
茯苓12g 酒黄精15g 当归10g 麸炒白术10g
炒酸枣仁15g
目前能在临床中见到这种方子实属不易，头三味药是我非常熟悉的，来自于王清任的黄芪赤风汤，后面药物的选配非常精妙，绝对是大家手笔。
当我看到签字栏时，薛伯寿三个字倒印纸上，顿时心中了然，全国名中医果然名不虚传。
衷心希望薛老的这门技艺能够得到有效的传承。
P.S. 根据内部情报，目前薛老在广安门的挂号费是500元，一号难求。
