Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 478 Treating Everyone Equally and Entry Inspection

The name of the disease is cerebral infarction.

Actually, this is a term used in Western medicine.

However, there is no modern disease name "cerebral infarction" in ancient Chinese medical books.

Stroke is categorized based on symptoms such as sudden numbness in the limbs, facial drooping, slurred speech, or coma.

Stroke is divided into two main categories: "stroke affecting the meridians" and "stroke affecting the internal organs".

The condition is relatively mild, with only some symptoms in the limbs or face, but the patient remains conscious. In modern medicine, this corresponds to a mild cerebral infarction or transient ischemic attack, also known as "central meridian disease".

In cases involving the internal organs, the condition is particularly critical, with patients experiencing not only the aforementioned symptoms but also altered mental status (such as coma).

In addition, in traditional Chinese medicine, stroke is further subdivided into syndromes such as "liver yang transforming into wind", "phlegm-heat accumulation in the viscera" and "qi deficiency and blood stasis" based on differences in etiology and constitution.

Wang Mengde had previously conducted in-depth research on this disease.

The main symptoms of cerebral infarction include paralysis of one side of the body, numbness or dullness in the hands and feet, inability to speak or understand, and uncoordinated movements.

Some patients may experience symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, or even coma, but most remain conscious.

If there is a blockage in the posterior circulation blood vessels of the brain, symptoms may also occur, such as sudden blurred vision, but the eyes may still react to light.

Even people become confused.

As early as three years ago.

There was a wealthy patient abroad who suffered a severe stroke, similar to the condition of the grandmother in the Yang family.

He spent millions of dollars in major hospitals abroad, but his condition not only did not improve, it actually worsened.

It progressed from half of his body being paralyzed and his hands and feet being numb to the point where he could not see or speak.

In the end, his sons prepared to fight over the inheritance, but none of them could get the lion's share, and there were still many family business secrets they did not know.

So they sent the wealthy man to China, intending to have him examined by Wang Mengde.

then.

The tycoon's sons had high standards; they needed someone who could keep him sober for a while and be able to say a few words.

The world's most advanced, renowned, and powerful hospitals, as well as their experts, are powerless to meet this requirement.

As for why he came to China to find Wang Mengde, it was actually with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Anyway, it won't cost much. If it's effective and the patient is awake and able to say a few words, that's the best outcome. I wouldn't mind paying hundreds of thousands in consultation fees.

If it doesn't work, at most you'll only have to pay for travel expenses and a small consultation fee.

When this wealthy man arrived in China.

After carefully examining the items, Wang Mengde had an idea in mind.

Based on previous experience treating other stroke patients, we decided to use a three-in-one therapy combining acupuncture, massage, and medication.

After about a month, he personally treated the patients.

Gradually, the wealthy man became more lucid and was able to speak with difficulty.

The tycoon's sons were overjoyed and wanted to take him back immediately.

But Wang Mengde refused.

In general, if others find out about this kind of treatment, they might think he's not very skilled.

So they kept delaying my discharge from the hospital.

At the same time, treatment should be expedited.

After nearly a month of delay, diplomatic pressure finally led Wang Mengde to agree to the other party's discharge from the hospital.

What devastated the heir was that the tycoon had already recovered to about 70-80% of his health.

Apart from not being able to walk, having some uncoordinated movements, and speaking slightly unclearly, everything else is gradually returning to normal.

Upon returning to China, he quickly regained control of the group.

After returning to China, the tycoon donated a large amount of supplies and a check for one million US dollars to Guang'anmen Hospital.

Later, Wang Mengde also treated many similar illnesses.

They can generally recover to about 70-80% of their normal state.

This is already the most powerful treatment method in the world, mainly relying on his acupuncture and massage techniques.

Other doctors can only hope to learn these skills if they become experts in them.

"Dr. Wang, how is my grandmother's condition?"

Yang Liu asked nervously.

She was raised by her grandmother from a young age, so the two had a special relationship.

This illness has undoubtedly been the most heartbreaking thing for her in the family.

Before Wang Mengde could speak, Wang Weiguo, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait to say:

"Yang Liu, don't worry, my brother is a very skilled doctor, he will definitely have a way to treat this."

Since entering the Central Academy of Drama in September.

Once he got to the classroom, he was immediately attracted to this female classmate.

Thus began his intentional or unintentional contact with Yang Liu.

More than a month later, their relationship had not progressed much, especially in the last few days, when he often showed little reaction and frequently gave irrelevant answers.

He was clearly distracted.

Wang Weiguo initially thought that the other party didn't like him and was doing this on purpose.

It wasn't until a few days ago, when a female colleague who was close to Yang Liu accidentally let it slip, that I learned the root of the matter.

It turned out that her grandmother was sick.

Wang Weiguo was overjoyed with this discovery.

If it were a different problem, he might not have a solution.

But getting sick is exactly what he excels at.

Although he himself only had a rudimentary grasp of medicine, his elder brother's medical skills were now second to none in the country.

This statement is so powerful that no one in the world would dare to refute it.

When Wang Weiguo found Yang Liu and told her that Wang Mengde was his brother and that he could help, Yang Liu was immediately extremely grateful.

Actually, the girl had a good impression of him, but because of a family emergency, she didn't have the energy to spend more time with him.

Hearing his younger brother make such a big promise, Wang Mengde still smiled, but he glanced at his brother's face with a warning look in his eyes.

These are the kinds of things that doctors absolutely avoid saying.

After all, a patient's condition can change at any time, and everyone's situation is different, so no one dares to say that it can be cured.

Even the most common and ordinary ailment.

"This disease is somewhat complicated, and the treatment will take a long time, at least two months or more, and the duration will depend on the changes in the condition."

If you're willing, then start treatment today. Just come and register every day and find this classmate, Qian Tong.

Sometimes when I'm not there, other doctors at the hospital will take over, but that doesn't happen very often.

Wang Mengde spoke slowly to the Yang family.

Even if it weren't for his brother's sake, he would still do his best for any ordinary patient.

Now, in his eyes, whether they are powerful and wealthy or ordinary people, they are all treated equally.

"Dr. Wang, we don't mind the long treatment time. We will bring the elderly person here every day."

Beside her, one of Yang Liu's elders stepped forward and spoke with a firm tone.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, many families are still willing to provide treatment for the patient.

"Okay, let's get started."

Wang Mengde nodded, then had the patient lie diagonally on the bed and quickly began inserting acupuncture needles.

At the same time, I carefully massaged some of the numb areas.

night.

Nanluoguxiang.

Inside the courtyard house, Wang Mengde's family was having dinner. At the table, Wang Weiguo seemed a little guilty, stealing glances at his brother every now and then.

Ran Xiaomei noticed his unusual behavior.

"Weiguo, what's wrong? Why are you staring at your brother?"

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay."

Wang Weiguo was startled when his name was called out, and quickly replied.

He and Yang Liu are not even officially dating yet, so he can't let others know for the time being.

Otherwise, the neighbors will find out, and it would be too embarrassing if it didn't work out later.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Ran Xiaomei looked at her eldest son and asked, "Mengde, do you know?"

"Mom, Weiguo brought a female classmate and her grandmother to see me for a medical check-up today. Judging from the situation, the two of them might have some kind of story in the future."

Ignoring his younger brother's frantic pleas, Wang Mengde briefly recounted what had happened.

It was because this kid made boastful claims and took on too much responsibility when he was there that he was annoyed, so he 'betrayed' him completely.

"Really? What's the girl's background? What's her personality like? How old is she? Where does she live?"

When Ran Xiaomei heard that her youngest son was also about to find a partner, she immediately perked up.

She asked several questions in a row, leaving Wang Weiguo completely bewildered.

She gave her brother a resentful look before perking up and carefully answering his questions.

Beside her, He Shengnan pursed her lips, trying to suppress her laughter, and joined in the gossip.

Both of these younger brothers-in-law are of marriageable age. If they settle down and start their own families soon, it will be a great joy for the Wang family.

More than ten minutes later.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information out of the woman, Ran Xiaomei turned around and gave the order:

"Mengde, you should take good care of that girl's grandmother."

"Mom, don't worry, no matter who it is, I will treat the illness seriously."

Wang Mengde felt somewhat helpless, but he still patiently explained on the surface.

"Yes, and also, when you're treating the patient, try to mention your brother's name to the girl's grandmother more often."

If those two get married, they'll be family.

Ran Xiaomei enthusiastically outlined her plans.

The next day.

Genome Project Institute.

Lei Ze and Liu Shuwei were reporting to Wang Mengde.

"Director Wang, after our team's hard work, we have finally developed a test strip that can detect the HIV virus."

At the same time, the detection method was written into two papers, with the intention of publishing them next year.

"Rayze said excitedly."

In the past two years, he and his team have achieved remarkable results.

Last year, significant progress was made in the research on autophagy, and in-depth research continues.

And some discoveries were made.

Of course, these discoveries will become classified technologies.

Furthermore, we will combine the findings of researchers worldwide to strive for faster and more practical research results.

At the beginning of the year, he published a total of six papers in two separate sessions.

These papers were all published in the world's top journals, and at the very beginning.

Then, he led his team to overcome the challenges of HIV research.

This research finding was even announced at the World Health Assembly.

This greatly enhanced his reputation as the person who made the announcement, giving him some fame worldwide and establishing him as a role model domestically.

Now, the test kits and methods for detecting HIV have also been successfully developed.

These achievements are expected to cause quite a stir.

Similarly, if written as a paper, it can be published in the world's top journals.

But he didn't want to publish too many articles in one year.

The six papers published at the beginning of the year, plus the two more papers on HIV research findings to be published soon, are already enough.

and so.

He then suggested to Wang Mengde that the paper on HIV testing methods be published next year.

Wang Mengde naturally wouldn't refuse his suggestion.

Anyway, the meat will rot in the pot eventually, it's just a matter of time before we eat it.

"Well, let's not rush the paper. We still need to do more experiments on the virus detection reagents to ensure accuracy."

Wang Mengde nodded.

Relevant departments have collected information in several countries abroad.

These past few months...

This is because China announced the HIV virus at the World Health Assembly.

This then attracted the attention of many countries.

They then conducted investigations at major hospitals.

Although there are no specific testing methods, we can get a 70-80% chance of finding the cause based on some of the symptoms.

Of course, these all have certain symptoms and belong to the later stages of AIDS.

The statistics are alarming.

A suspected HIV patient has infected so many people, and who knows how many more are in the incubation period.

Many countries are investing huge sums of money in trying to develop detection and treatment methods.

"Director Wang, don't worry, we've already started accuracy testing, and we should be able to draw conclusions in about half a month."

Liu Shuwei answered hurriedly.

He is currently in charge of this accuracy test.

"Yes, once the accuracy rate is confirmed and meets the requirements, it will be handed over to the medical device factory for production."

The country needs these things right now, so we should produce them as soon as possible.

Wang Mengde gave the instructions.

"Director Wang, there shouldn't be any AIDS patients in our country, right? I think we should export them to Western countries and earn more foreign exchange."

Razer asked curiously.

Due to special reasons, China currently has limited exchanges with the outside world.

Furthermore, many people's thinking still leans towards tradition.

Therefore, after the HIV virus was discovered, investigations were conducted in hospitals in some major cities across the country, but no similar cases were found.

"Our country doesn't have it, but we can't say for sure about foreigners."

The country wants testing kits mainly to provide them to people coming to China from abroad, who will need to be tested for HIV upon entry.

The goal is to prevent patients in the incubation period from bringing the virus in; if it spreads, it could cause serious problems.

Wang Mengde explained simply.

past life.

China has implemented an entry inspection policy from the very beginning.

However, it was later cancelled.

Then AIDS began to spread, which can be considered a cause-and-effect relationship.

Now that he has come and has the capability, he will certainly take strict precautions for China and will absolutely not abandon the entry testing policy again.
