A doctor who travels through two eras

The traditional Chinese medical term “high fever convulsion” is explained in Western medicine as “high fever seizure”.

It is mainly concentrated on children under 6 years old.

It is very scary when an attack occurs, giving parents a feeling that their child is about to die, which can easily make parents collapse.

Generally speaking, febrile convulsions will not have any sequelae. By the time parents collapse and run red lights to rush their children to the hospital, the convulsions in most children have already stopped.

But there are some exceptions, such as repeated high fever convulsions, or convulsions during a low fever. These often have a poor prognosis. In severe cases, they may affect the development of the infant's brain tissue and lead to a decline in the child's intelligence.

It's the legendary "brain burnt out".

Decades later, medicine has become more advanced, and with convenient transportation, children can be sent to the hospital in a timely manner, so the number of children with brain burns is decreasing and is not common in clinical practice.

But in 1960, high fever caused by various reasons was often one of the main causes of death in children.

If the high fever does not subside and the convulsions continue, the mortality rate will be frighteningly high. The simplest one is that respiratory secretions or the tongue falling back can lead to death by suffocation.

No wonder the young couple knelt and kowtowed while holding their son. They were really scared.

In fact, from the perspective of Lin Sanqi, an intern, heat shock is nothing to be surprised about.

The treatment principles are actually simple, there are only three steps: sedatives, antipyretics, and antibiotics.

Among these, sedation and antipyretic are the top priorities in emergency rescue. You must stop the convulsions before you can proceed to the next step of treatment.

But in order to stop the convulsions and prevent them from recurring, you need to quickly lower your body temperature and reduce stimulation to the brain nerves. At this time, you need strong antipyretics.

Although Mr. Shi and Mr. Xiao did not take action, do they have a secret recipe for quickly reducing fever? Lin Sanqi felt that they must have one.

But the trouble with Chinese medicine is that it is too slow. For example, you have to write the prescription by hand, get the medicine, light the stove, boil the medicine, and then wait for it to cool down. This whole process will take at least half an hour to complete.

But now the child has seizures every five or six minutes. In more than half an hour, his life may be in danger. It is obviously too late to use the traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan.

Vice President Ji was a little surprised to see Lin Sanqi taking on this important task of treatment:
"Hey, Old Shen, can Lin Sanqi be here? Don't delay the child's illness."

Dean Shen, however, crossed his arms and looked like a bystander:

"I think this guy will not fight an unprepared battle. It seems that he either has a secret recipe from his family or advanced drugs from abroad. Otherwise, he would not dare to come on stage to unveil the list even if you kill him."

Vice President Ji nodded slightly, also wanting to see what Lin Sanqi was capable of.

Lin Sanqi pretended to feel the child's pulse, flipped his eyelids, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then stroked his chin and began to think.

Amid the puzzled looks of the parents and onlookers, Lin Sanqi suddenly shouted, "I understand, there is a way!"

Pan Ye's toes could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment on the ground. It was so embarrassing and the performance was very exaggerated.

Mr. Shi looked at Lin Sanqi with a smile, but did not point it out. Instead, he said in cooperation:

"Oh, what do you understand? Tell me about it."

"Old man, the main reason for high fever convulsions is that when the child has a high fever, the metabolism of nerve cells increases, the oxygen consumption increases, and the nervous system is in a state of overexcitement.

However, the thalamus of the child is not fully developed and cannot tolerate such strong stimulation. Therefore, when the child has a high fever, he will experience tonic and clonic twitching of the facial muscles and limbs, accompanied by upward rolling of the eyeballs or confusion.

Do you think I am right?"

If Lin Sanqi were to give himself a score, he would definitely give himself 99 points. One point more would be for fear that he would become too proud, because he had memorized the chapter on heat shock in the textbook by heart.

After hearing Lin Sanqi's explanation, the three old men's mouths twitched.

Old Man Han walked over and kicked Lin Sanqi on the butt, causing him to fall flat on his face, which caused the crowd to laugh.

Dean Shen covered his eyes with his hands:

"Oh my, this is unbearable. This guy claims to be from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and has a diploma from a traditional Chinese medicine college, but the medical terms he uses are all from Western medicine. Isn't he a traitor to traditional Chinese medicine?"

Mr. Shi was a stable person, and he did not show any dissatisfaction with Lin Sanqi's "heresy". Instead, he asked calmly:
"Okay, now that you know the cause, what's the next step to treat it?"

Lin Sanqi climbed up from the mud and said seriously, "The next step is to reduce the fever and prevent the convulsions from recurring. Watch me, it will work in half an hour."

After saying that, Lin Sanqi ran towards the dormitory.

Everyone was surprised and thought that if you wanted to boil medicine, you should go to the pharmacy, why did you go to the dormitory.

"Hey, Chief Lin, did you run in the wrong direction?"

"Maybe he has some pills hidden in the dorm?"

"That's right. Section Chief Lin's family treats typhoid fever. They must have a secret recipe for reducing fever."

The child's parents were somewhat at a loss, thinking, "Our child is already so sick, what are you still doing? Are you using our child as an experiment?"
The child's father looked at Mr. Shi for help: "Doctor, this, this..."

Mr. Shi smiled and comforted:
"It's okay. Once you enter the gate of our Capital Chinese Medicine Hospital, I guarantee that nothing will happen to your child. The young doctor just now is no ordinary person. His father is the best doctor in the country for treating high fever. He is more professional than any doctor present here." The young couple was relieved.

Throughout history, young doctors are often not popular with patients. From the patients' point of view, youth is the "original sin".

At this time, if there are older doctors to support you and help you explain, young doctors will have more opportunities to get started and accumulate experience quickly.

Of course, if you, a young doctor, meet a selfish and indifferent senior, then you can only wish you good luck. As long as you are a human being, there are good and bad people.

Lin Sanqi came back quickly, trotting over to the child with a bowl in his hand:

"Come on, drink this bowl of potion quickly."

The child's mother was a little surprised when she held the small bowl: "Isn't this a bowl of boiled water?"

Everyone looked over and saw that the medicine in the bowl looked like boiled water, only a little turbid.

Decoctions made from Chinese medicine are often brown or black in color. There is a famous scene on TV: "Da Lang, come and drink your medicine", and the medicine juice is dark black.

Even if it is not soup, the pills are brown or black, not white, so in fairy tale dramas, the props for elixirs are replaced by marshmallows.

Now when Lin Sanqi went against common sense and took out a bowl of "boiled water", many people started to discuss:

"What prescription did Section Chief Lin use?"

"I sniffed it closely, but there was no smell at all. It was so strange."

"Even if it's the elixir you ask for in the temple, there's incense ash in there."

Lin Sanqi heard everyone's discussion and said mysteriously:
"You may not know this, but I used the secret recipes passed down from our Lin family. One is called Ibuprofen Recipe, and the other is called Amo Recipe. As for the effects of these two secret recipes, you will know after taking the medicine."

Amofang?
Ibuprofen prescription?

No one suspected that Lin Sanqi was lying, including Dean Shen and the three old men. After all, Lin Sanqi came from a "family background in learning."

The young couple looked at each other and were still a little hesitant. Lin Sanqi felt dissatisfied and thought, I have taken out the unique medicine in the world, you should not be ungrateful.

Mr. Shi took the medicine bowl, smelled it, dipped his finger in it to taste it, and then he had more questions in his mind.

"Strange, I can't even identify what medicinal ingredients are used in it!"

As mentioned before, for famous medical experts, they can basically guess the medicinal ingredients of a decoction or pill just by tasting it.

But this time, Mr. Shi just couldn’t guess what the ibuprofen recipe and the amo recipe were?

Xiao Longyou was also surprised, thinking that even if he couldn't guess all of them, it shouldn't be difficult to guess a few of them? Would Shi Jinmo also fail?

So Mr. Xiao also dipped a little in the soup and tasted it carefully, then his face turned red because he couldn't guess what ingredients were used in it.

The only thing that is certain is that this is not a bowl of plain water, there is indeed medicine in it.

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Dean Shen knew that he had to stand up and vouch for Lin Sanqi:
"Parents, please feel free to use the medicine. I am Shen Guoming, the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. I can vouch for Dr. Xiao Lin that there will be absolutely no problem."

Feeling their son's burning heat in his arms, the young couple gritted their teeth and started feeding him medicine.

Although the child had stopped convulsing, he seemed very irritable. He could not feed the medicine with a spoon and it all slipped out of his mouth.

The child's mother also became anxious. She picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp. Then she fed the medicine to her son mouth to mouth, which made people around sigh.

Lin Sanqi was also a little moved, thinking that all parents in the world are so loving. He wondered if the child would remember his mother's kindness when he grew up.

"Doctor, the medicine has been administered. When will my son's fever go away?"

Lin Sanqi looked at his Shanghai watch and said affirmatively, "Wait 10 minutes, the medicine will start to take effect, and the fever will subside quickly in about half an hour."

Dean Shen chuckled: "Boy, are you so sure?"

"Most certainly!"

Everyone waited quietly, even Mr. Han was holding the acupuncture needle to prevent the child from having another convulsion.

After 10 minutes, the child began to sweat all over his body...

In 20 minutes, the child's clothes and pants were soaked...

30 minutes later, the nurse took the temperature and it was 37.1℃...

Wow! ! !
There were exclamations from all around, and everyone looked at Lin Sanqi in surprise.

Even Dean Shen and the three old men were quite surprised. To be honest, even if Mr. Shi came, he would not guarantee that the fever would be reduced within half an hour. (End of this chapter)
