A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 159 Western Medicine Impersonating Traditional Chinese Medicine

Zhang Xingbang had been waiting outside the house, feeling sorry for the loving parents in the world.

After a while, the door opened and Lin Sanqi took out a bowl of medicine:

"Director Zhang, give it to the patient immediately. This is for reducing fever."

Zhang Xingbang got the medicine and was so excited that tears were about to fall: "Okay, okay, Dr. Kobayashi, thank you so much, I'll go then."

"Okay, go ahead. There will be medicine later."

Lin Sanqi returned to the room and closed the door tightly. Zhang Xingbang hurried to the ward, but was stopped by several people in white coats as soon as he turned a corner.

"Director Zhang, is this the medicine that Doctor Xiao Lin prepared personally? Can we take a look?"

The doctors at Hu Jian Provincial First People's Hospital were very interested in the medication used by their colleague from the capital. They were very curious about what kind of medicine the Lingnan School would use.

This is definitely not a case of looking down on each other, but an attitude of learning from each other. Of course, only God knows whether there is any intention of stealing medical knowledge.

Although Zhang Xingbang was anxious, he knew it was not good to offend the doctor, so he handed over the bowl of medicine.

Several doctors gathered around the medicine bowl and sniffed it for a long time, then dipped their fingers in it to taste it, and then all of them looked confused.

"Old Wang, how many herbs have you tasted?"

"Strange, I only tasted licorice, I couldn't taste any other medicine, it tasted very bitter."

"Yeah, I can't taste what other drugs were used. This shouldn't be the case. There's nothing wrong with my sense of taste."

Several doctors in white coats had already begun to doubt their decades-long medical skills, but they did not suspect that what Dr. Kobayashi used was not Chinese medicine, but Western medicine pills from later times.

Zhang Xingbang was a little impatient, "Ladies and gentlemen, can I go and give my daughter her medicine?"

"Okay, okay, let's go and see how effective it is."

Zhang Jingjing quickly pinched her nose and drank the entire bowl of "licorice soup". She almost vomited it out because it was so bitter.

Chinese medicine tastes bitter, but Western medicine pills are not swallowed but ground into powder and soaked in soup. In fact, the taste is very bitter and the aftertaste is even more bitter.

The young nurse next to her quickly took a mercury thermometer to measure her temperature, which was 38.8℃.

Everyone, including the doctors and family members, were waiting for the results. Ten minutes after drinking the medicine, Zhang Jingjing began to sweat all over her body. Sweat beads were visible to the naked eye. Soon her hair was soaked, as if she had just been fished out of the water.

One of the doctors nodded after seeing this: "Okay, the fever is starting to subside. Nurse, take the temperature quickly."

When I measured it, it was 38.0℃, a slight drop compared to more than ten minutes ago.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jingjing's entire body was soaked with sweat. Even on the mattress, a human-shaped water stain could be seen. She felt so wet and uncomfortable.

Mother Zhang was a little anxious. Seeing her daughter getting upset, she quickly asked:

"Doctor, is my daughter getting better or worse?"

A middle-aged doctor next to him waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's okay. Sweating is a good thing. The patient is not uncomfortable because of the disease, but because he sweats too much. Just wipe his body or give him a bath later."

Another middle-aged doctor objected: "It's not good to take a bath when you have a high fever, right?"

"That's because you Chinese medicine practitioners believe that you can't take a bath when you have a high fever. We Western doctors don't care about that. We believe that taking a bath can actually reduce the temperature physically."

The two doctors started to argue a little, and Zhang Xingbang became even more anxious: "Nurse, can you help take my temperature again?"

37.6 ℃

"Wow, the temperature has dropped? It went from a high temperature to a low fever in more than half an hour. Is it so magical?"

"The Lingnan School has such ability. I admire it!"

Zhang Xingbang and his wife were so excited that they wanted to applaud: "Great, great!!"

Another doctor poured cold water on him, saying, "Don't be too happy too soon. We need to continue to observe whether the fever has subsided temporarily or not. Moreover, antipyretics are only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Don't forget that this is sore throat."

The ward instantly became quiet.

After hearing this, several doctors wore their masks more tightly. After all, this is an infectious disease, a plague.

A doctor was puzzled: "Our hospital hasn't received any other patients with sore throat recently. Where did Zhang Jingjing get the sore throat from?"

Zhang Xingbang remembered at this time:
"My daughter's school has been organizing schistosomiasis propaganda in the countryside for the past few days. Could she have been infected from the countryside?"

Several doctors nodded in agreement: "It's almost certain. We need to notify the local authorities to quickly prevent and control the disease. If it spreads, it will be a big problem."

In a remote cottage.

Lin Sanqi boiled another bowl of Chinese medicine with Chai Gui, then opened the amoxicillin capsule and mixed it into the medicine soup, mumbling:

"Hehe, this is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and it works well. Let me act as a miracle doctor today."

Scarlet fever is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by hemolytic streptococci, and penicillin contains penicillin, which can activate lysozyme to destroy the bacterial cell wall, thereby achieving the purpose of treating scarlet fever. Amoxicillin, on the other hand, uses a hydroxyl group and an amino group based on the structure of penicillin, which has better efficacy and a wider spectrum. It had not been invented in 1959, so it is unique in the world.

When Zhang Xingbang appeared in the ward with the second bowl of medicine soup of the day, he was immediately surrounded by doctors again.

Then the doctors who were full of curiosity were hit again and doubted their lives, because so many of them still couldn't guess which herbs Lin Sanqi used.

The doctors even invited the most experienced Chinese medicine pharmacist in the pharmacy, but they still couldn't determine what medicinal materials were used.

This made the doctors scratch their heads in anxiety.

When Lin Sanqi walked into the ward to observe the patient, he was immediately surrounded by doctors:
"Doctor Lin, the two bowls of medicine you just gave me are very effective. May I ask if these two prescriptions are inherited from your family or are they public prescriptions?"

Lin Sanqi blinked and said with a smile:
"The prescription I used, uh, of course, was handed down from my ancestors. The first one was for fever reduction, and it was the Loso prescription. The second one was for detoxification, and it was called the Amo prescription."

"Losuo's fever-reducing formula? Amo's detoxifying formula? I don't think I've heard of it."

Lin Sanqi smiled slightly and said pretentiously: "These are the prescriptions passed down from our family. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

At the same time, I thought to myself: If any of you have heard of it, then needless to say, we are all good brothers in the time-travel party, and we can work together for great achievements in the future.

Never heard of it? Knowing it's a secret recipe, why are you asking?

"Oh~~~ I see. I admire you so much!"

If loxoprofen is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure, then amoxicillin is the authentic permanent cure.

Some people may say that Lin Sanqi is cheating. How can Chinese and Western medicine be used together? Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and Western medicine is Western medicine;

Some people may ask, if the disease is cured by Lin Sanqi's treatment, is it Chinese medicine that is better or Western medicine?

Then the fans of traditional Chinese medicine and the fans of western medicine started arguing with each other, neither of them willing to give in. In the end, when they couldn't win the argument, they started personal attacks and human flesh searches, making the whole place a mess.

In fact, these are all nonsense from a doctor's point of view. No matter whether you are practicing Chinese medicine or Western medicine, good medicine is the one that can cure the disease. Why should there be such a strong prejudice?

Whether the cat is white or black, a good cat is the one that can catch mice.

Doctors only care about the efficacy of the treatment. Only idiots care about a reputation.

At the end of the first day of treatment, although Zhang Jingjing's temperature still fluctuated, the highest temperature did not exceed 39°C. The effect was not obvious, but it gave people hope.

In the following days, Lin Sanqi gave the patient three bowls of "Amo Qingdu Soup" every day. Except for the first few days, the "Losuo Antipyretic Soup" was no longer used, indicating that the patient's condition had improved significantly.

Unfortunately, because Zhang Jingjing had adult scarlet fever and her condition was critically ill, her recovery was not as fast as expected, which made Lin Sanqi a little anxious.

After all, he still wants to make a fortune by "monetizing traffic".

But he works in a company and cannot hang out outside at will. He has to report back when the time is almost up because his patients are waiting for their medicine.

Now, in order to save people, he could only wait, which made Lin Sanqi feel that he had lost hundreds of millions.

It was impossible for the Zhang family to treat Lin Sanqi unfairly, as they had already put a lot of effort into the catering.

Now, he asked someone to buy a large yellow croaker from the seaside, steamed it in the hospital cafeteria, and invited Dr. Kobayashi to taste it.

Zhang Xingbang and Huang Liqiang accompanied him personally:
Lin Sanqi had actually gotten tired of eating fish and crabs these days and now really wanted to eat some meat, but pork and beef were too rare in the area, and the Zhang family only provided them occasionally, so he couldn't eat as much as he wanted.

There was meat in Lin Sanqi's own passage space, but he had no chance to take it out.

So when Lin Sanqi walked into the cafeteria and saw a huge sea fish on the table, he wailed in his heart, eating fish again~~~
"Doctor Xiaolin, ha ha ha, we don't have anything delicious in Fuzhou. This is the yellow croaker we just caught this morning. Try it. It tastes very good."

Lin Sanqi, who was originally smiling and being polite, stopped breathing for a moment when he heard that it was yellow croaker, and asked excitedly:
“Is this a yellow croaker?”

Zhang Xingbang was a little confused and nodded blankly: "Yes, yes? What's wrong with this fish?"

"Wow, it's a yellow croaker, is it also called a golden croaker? This is a great treasure, Director Zhang, you are too polite, hahahaha."

Zhang Xingbang was a little confused. It's true that the fish is fresh, but yellow croaker is not a rare fish. If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be kept fresh, it would be a piece of cake to pull several tons of it over for you in one go.

This is the information gap between the two eras.

In 2023, the yellow croaker was almost extinct along the coast. Once a fisherman caught a 122-jin yellow croaker, which was sold for 2.85 yuan per jin, with a total price of 347.7 million yuan.

A single fish is sold for more than 300 million yuan. You can imagine how precious the yellow croaker, or golden sturgeon, is. It is comparable to a century-old wild ginseng.

Not only is the meat of the yellow croaker delicious, but what is even more precious is its fish bladder.

After being made into fish glue, it is a good medicine for treating women's postpartum hemorrhage and infertility after long-term marriage, and it has a significant effect on the physical recovery of critically ill patients after surgery.

Therefore, yellow lip fish maw is considered rare and has magical medicinal value, so it is regarded as a family heirloom by wealthy families and is extremely valuable.

Suddenly, inspiration started flashing in Lin Sanqi's mind again.
