Chapter 313 The rare disease of the stubborn old man
After the patient lay down, Xia Qingdai took a three-edged needle, raised his arm, and pricked the Shuangchize point on the elbow of the arm to draw black blood.

This is recorded in the Chinese medicine book "Yi Zong Jin Jian" compiled by Wu Qian and others during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It can treat acute abdominal pain and other symptoms.

Although it is still bloodletting, it is completely different from bloodletting in Western medicine that does not pay attention to acupoints.

After bleeding, Xia Qingdai took out the moxa stick and lit the moxibustion Shenque point, and then she used a needle to acupuncture the sterilized calf.

As she continued her actions, the old man's face, which was originally filled with pain, gradually became relaxed. He stared at the young Xia Qingdai with his peripheral vision, expressing his deep appreciation for her good medical skills at such a young age.

Sure enough, famous teachers produce great disciples, so he said that Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine. Isn’t this much better than going to the hospital to take radiation!

"Is your stomachache better now?" Xia Qingdai looked at him and asked.

The old man's cooperation had been mobilized, and he nodded and replied: "It's much better, it really doesn't hurt that much anymore."

"That's good." Xia Qingdai retained the needle and straightened up.

She turned to Du Zhong and said: "Brother Du, let me tell you my diagnosis first. The patient's tongue coating is yellow, and there is an ancient saying that yellow coating controls fire. But I see that the Guanyuan and Shenque points are relatively cold and hard, which means the lower part of the tongue is cold and cold. . This is what is called virtual fire above and true cold below."

"Looking at his thin pulse, which is a sign of weak yang energy, I determined that the cause of his pain was intestinal spasm caused by cold stasis, and I used Chinese medicine to treat it with Xiaojianzhong Decoction. Senior Brother Du, what do you think?"

Du Zhong said calmly: "I don't understand Chinese medicine, but after percussion, he does have intestinal spasm. He can take antispasmodics and add some lactulose to treat constipation. If the symptoms worsen, surgical treatment is recommended."

When the old man heard about the operation, he became very angry and shouted: "I won't do any bullshit surgery! I don't believe in this kind of Western medicine that treats headaches in the head and feet in pain!"

Eucommia ulmoides was not angry even after being choked by the patient, and her emotions remained stable: "In addition to intestinal spasm, the patient also has early symptoms of intestinal obstruction. I suggest..."

"I can cure it by taking Chinese medicine or doing acupuncture!" The old man interrupted Eucommia ulmoides while holding his neck. After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Xia Qingdai.

After just a session of acupuncture, he now has a high level of trust in Xia Qingdai. Du Zhong even said that he didn't understand Chinese medicine, so he began to dislike him, even though he seemed to have a strong diagnosis.

The old man is not averse to Western medicine, but he is very resistant to things like taking films and being exposed to radiation, let alone surgery.

Xia Qingdai felt a little confused after hearing what Eucommia ulmoides said. She did feel that there was an obstruction, but she always felt something was strange.

This was a lack of experience. Even if all the meridians and acupuncture points inside the human body were imprinted in her mind, she still could not determine the cause of the disease without sufficient medical experience.

The old man's son, this middle-aged Internet tycoon, believes more in Western medicine than in Chinese medicine.

So he replied on behalf of his father: "Thank you both for your diagnosis. I will let my father take Chinese medicine first and see if it is necessary. If necessary, I will ask you two to do a follow-up examination."

"Okay, no problem." Xia Qingdai replied, and Eucommia ulmoides also nodded lightly.

The two of them came here not primarily for treatment, but for diagnosis.

After diagnosing the cause of abdominal pain, someone who is better than them in treating the disease will naturally come on the scene.

However, Eucommia ulmoides obviously has something to say: "After physical examination, the patient's entire abdomen was moderately distended and there were bowel sounds. Part of the small intestine was gathered in the right lower abdomen, with a fixed position, and was wrapped by abnormal fibrous membrane..."

Before Du Zhong finished speaking, the old man couldn't help but interrupt again.

He didn't know why, but he looked unhappy at Du Zhong: "What's wrong? What do you mean? Talk in human language." Du Zhong looked calmly and said: "To put it simply, the most serious problem for the patient now is not intestinal spasm, nor intestinal obstruction, but very rare. Abdominal cocoon. I happened to see similar symptoms in the medical records office of our medical school.”

Xia Qingdai didn't know what abdominal cocoon was. After all, she has not been studying medicine for a long time, and this disease is a rare disease. Experienced doctors may not be able to diagnose it without opening the abdomen and relying only on instrument examination.

But Xia Qingdai felt the same symptoms described by Eucommia ulmoides, and she also felt something strange when taking her pulse.

"Little girl, what did he say about cocoons? Can I drink Chinese medicine?"

Xia Qingdai was very touched by this cute and stubborn old man's love and trust in Chinese medicine. However, she was really unsure about the treatment of this disease, so she had to tell the truth: "I have to ask my teacher."

The business boss comforted his father and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will contact Mr. Liang later."

Then he looked at Eucommia ulmoides: "Are you sure it's abdominal cocoon syndrome?"

"It is highly doubtful. I recommend surgery as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more difficult it will be."

"I'm not going to have surgery! Will it be better if I have an incision on my stomach?" The old man became emotional again, and the middle-aged man quickly reassured him.

Xia Qingdai and Eucommia ulmoides remained silent. Anyway, the two of them are responsible for the diagnosis. The specific treatment depends on the choice of the patient's family.

After taking out the needle from the old man's leg, Xia Qingdai and Eucommia ulmoides said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Eucommia ulmoides couldn't help but look back.

Xia Qingdai knew that of course he couldn't have thoughts about the villa, but he probably still missed the patient.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Du, are you interested in abdominal cocoon syndrome?" Xia Qingdai raised her head and asked him.

"Yes." Eucommia did not deny it, "This is a rare disease, and one can write a paper."

"Oh." Xia Qingdai understood, "If they want to be treated in Jiangcheng, they will eventually fall into the hands of our director of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiang University. Senior Brother Du, you can pay attention and observe when the time comes."

"You're right. This operation is very difficult. The fiber is difficult to remove. It's impossible for ordinary gastrointestinal surgeons to remove it."

The two got into the Rolls-Royce while talking.

After getting in the car, we stopped talking about this topic. After all, the driver belonged to the patient's family.

Du Zhong opened her mobile phone to read the papers downloaded from it, while Xia Qingdai posted the record of today's medical visit to the group chat, which attracted a flurry of replies from her brothers and sisters.

Mr. Liang rarely speaks in the group, but this time he actually stood out. He directly called Xia Qingdai's name and asked her to wait until he came back the day after tomorrow before going to see the patient with him.

Xia Qingdai naturally had nothing to say. This is because the teacher has brought her own experience. What else is there to say? It is impossible to really ask her to treat the disease.

For patients with rare diseases, motivated doctors are very popular. Not to mention whether I can write a paper, at least a press release is no problem.

After coming out of the villa area, Xia Qingdai did not let the driver take her back to school. Instead, she chose to get off the bus halfway and take the direct subway home.
