A doctor who travels through two eras

"Masters, I'm back. Come on, everyone must be hungry. This is my pineapple bun. It's fluffy, soft and sweet. Try it."

After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he sat down next to the old men.

Mr. Shi took a bite and was quite satisfied:

"Mm, not bad, with a strong pineapple milk flavor, suitable for us old people."

After taking a bite, Mr. Ding was also a little surprised:
"It really tastes like pineapple. This is authentic southern bread. It's so rare to find it in Peking."

In those days, there was no technology or creativity. Whatever the flavor was, it must have been made from that kind of fruit and it was all natural.

Lin Sanqi took out another lunch box and opened it. Inside were pale yellow shortbread cookies:

"Come on, Masters, try it again. This is Xi'an's crystal cake, made with white sugar, rock sugar, green and red silk, pig fat, walnut kernels, rose petals and other ingredients. It is especially suitable for the elderly, but I bought it specifically to honor you."

Mr. Yao Qiming picked up a piece and tasted it, and was instantly excited:

"Yes, yes, that's the taste. It's our traditional snack from Xi'an. Everyone should try it. Xiaoqi, you haven't been seen for the past few days. Did you go to Xi'an?"

Lin Sanqi thought that he had been to Xi'an, but it was a matter of another era.

"Master Yao, you forgot that I'm in the purchasing department, and I travel all over the country. I've exchanged all the food coupons subsidized by the unit for special cakes for you. How about it, isn't my apprentice filial?"

When Mr. Han Bangxu heard this, he burst into laughter:
"You are full of nonsense. Everyone knows that you are famous for having a lot of money, tickets and food. Do you still need a bite to eat?"

The old men were enjoying the meal happily, which attracted the staff of the Chinese Medicine Hospital and the audience to look back frequently, and they were all drooling with greed.

Lin Sanqi thought, now everyone knows that he has plenty of food and drink, and everyone is envious of him. It won't be long before he becomes a rat that everyone wants to kill.

The more glorious you are today, the more miserable you will be six years later. Fortunately, I have left a way out, otherwise I would never be so high-profile.

At this moment, the "drum stage" for warming up the audience had already started beating, and the noisy scene instantly became quiet.

On one side of the stage there was a sign that read "Silang Visits His Mother", starring Zhang Junqiu and Tan Fuying.

Zhang Junqiu is a male dan, known as one of the Four Little Flowers in the opera world. He later founded his own Peking Opera school called "Zhang School". He is definitely a master of his generation, but he speaks in a very funny way and likes to talk about the quintessence of Chinese opera.

As for Tan Fuying, he was known as "Tan Si" in the opera world. The Tan family, starting with Tan Xinpei, were all old actors. The opera family was very famous. Unfortunately, starting with Tan Liu, each generation was worse than the previous one, and Tan Qi had completely disappeared.

The two people on the stage are famous actors of the time, and their singing is naturally mesmerizing. Several old men also cross their legs and clap their hands to the beat.

Lin Sanqi thought, these old men are probably dreaming of the glory days of the Republic of China. Then the waiter called out, "Give me 10 Shi flower baskets and 20 Xiao flower baskets~~~"
Gradually, I started to sing the song "Silang Visits His Mother".

All I heard was the princess singing: "I was so frightened by his words that I broke into a sweat. It has been fifteen years until today that he finally told the truth. It turned out that the Yang family changed his name. He missed his hometown and his family and could not be reunited~~~"

The singing was normal up to this point, and then the Huadan sang faster and faster.

Yang Yanhui, played by Tan Fuying, also sang faster and faster:

"Princess, I and your good husband and wife have a deep bond of love, so why should you be so polite and modest? If Yang Yanhui can smile one day, I will never forget your kindness~~~"

The situation began to get out of control. The couple on the stage started to talk as if they were arguing, and their speech speed became extremely fast.

The lute player of La Xipi is almost smoking. (Refer to Gu Zhengqiu's version of Zuo Gong)
Mr. Shi said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, this is the Xipi Flying Arrow that can be spoken. How about it? Doesn't it sound cool?"

Lin Sanqi scratched his head: "There are no subtitles. Anyway, I can't understand it. When will the little show appear?"

"Noisy, listen carefully, I will call Xiaofan soon."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself: "The legendary three dollars and three cents has arrived, I have to listen carefully."

Sure enough, as the song was going on, the princess stepped down from the stage, leaving only her husband, Tan Fuying. Everyone at the scene held their breath.

"When I saw the princess stealing the imperial edict, I couldn't help but feel happy. I stood at the palace gate... and called Xiao Fan~~~~"

Tan Fuying started singing!
There was immediate applause from the audience, and everyone was cheering.

Lin Sanqi was quite disappointed. How come Tan Fuying could not sing well in Tianjin but could sing well in Beijing? He wanted to boo.

After the show ended in the afternoon, many people who came to watch the show sat on the ground, preparing for the second performance in the evening.

The staff of the Chinese medicine hospital returned to their dormitories one by one and began to prepare dinner.

Lin Sanqi supported the old men and walked towards the dormitory. After looking for a long time, he did not see anyone selling melon seeds, peanuts, or boxed lunches or fast food. It was obvious that small vendors had begun to disappear, which was not a good sign.

Before I even reached the dormitory, Vice Dean Ji was already waiting in the distance: "Xiao Qi, over here, over here."

"Deputy Ji, what's wrong?"

"Let's go. The patients of the National Peking Opera Theater are waiting for you, the little miracle doctor. Follow me."

Lin Sanqi was secretly complaining: If he knew that he was a miracle doctor, why didn't he come to me for treatment? Why did he go there in person? What kind of level is that?
No matter what he thought, in an era where everything had to be done under command, Lin Sanqi didn't have much right to resist and could only follow him obediently.

In the small conference room, Dean Shen was happily chatting with a group of guests. When Lin Sanqi entered, everyone looked at him.

Lin Sanqi was also observing the people in the conference room. In addition to some people who looked like cadres, there were also two middle-aged men with outstanding temperament who looked like opera actors sitting there.

Seeing Lin Sanqi coming in, everyone stood up, which made Lin Sanqi feel that he had a good reputation again.

Dean Shen said with a smile:

"Come, come, let me introduce you all. This is Comrade Lin Sanqi, a direct descendant of the Lingnan School of Medicine. He has learned both Chinese and Western medicine. Last year, he cured his future father-in-law of tuberculosis. The chest X-ray taken at the Union Hospital can prove this."

Xiao Qi, come here, let me introduce you. This is President Su of the National Peking Opera Company, this is... and this is Teacher Ma Lianliang, and this is Teacher Zhao Yanxia. Both teachers have come here specifically to see you for treatment."

Lin Sanqi was already mentally prepared, so he stepped forward and shook hands with several leaders of the Peking Opera Theater.

After seeing Lin Sanqi, Dean Su actually had some doubts in his heart. You have to say that Lin Sanqi's father, Doctor Lin Kushen, is very famous in the city.

But could this young doctor, who obviously had not read much, really cure tuberculosis? Dean Su had a big question mark in his mind.

But the leader never showed his emotions, so he smiled and shook hands with her.
"Dr. Xiaolin, I have heard of you for a long time. But you made us wait for a long time at the Chinese Medicine Hospital. You said you were on a business trip. When we arrived at the Changping Branch, you disappeared again. It is true that good things take time.

This time, two teachers from our Peking Opera Theater are here to seek your help. They are Mr. Ma Lianliang and Ms. Zhao Yanxia. These two teachers are the top stars of our Peking Opera Theater, and they are the masters of our country's Peking Opera circle.

However, these two teachers have been diagnosed with tuberculosis in recent years. After seeking help from many famous doctors, they have only been able to control the disease and prevent it from worsening. In particular, the condition of teacher Ma Lianliang is not optimistic. It is now difficult for him to perform on stage.

Well, we heard about a young miracle doctor at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, so we came to ask for help, haha."

People from the opera world are very traditional and always follow the rules. So even though Ma Lianliang is already 60 years old, when he saw Lin Sanqi, a young man, he bowed slightly and was very polite:
"Excuse me, Doctor Kobayashi."

Zhao Yanxia also smiled and politely extended her hand to shake hands with Lin Sanqi:

"Hello, Doctor Xiaolin. I am Zhao Yanxia. I will be your patient from now on. Please take good care of me."

Lin Sanqi didn't know much about Ma Lianliang. He only knew that this guy seemed to have had a bad time in Tianjin and never dared to perform in Tianjin again. In the original history, it seemed that he didn't have many years to live.

But he knew a little about Zhao Yanxia. Although she was polite now, the old lady was a typical hot-tempered girl.

Later, he would rather fall out with Li Yunhe than bow to her. In the end, he was tortured very badly, but he would rather die than commit suicide.

He usually loves to drink dark beer and eat longan. He lived until 2023 and is still in good health at the age of almost 100. He even founded his own "Zhao School" based on the Xun School.

Although the Zhao School is known as one of the four evil schools, it cannot be denied that the Zhao School is very addictive, very pleasant to listen to, and very unique.

After Lin Sanqi greeted Ma Lianliang and Zhao Yanxia, ​​he kept observing the expressions of the two men.

It can be clearly seen that Zhao Yanxia is full of energy and looks normal. She does not look like a patient just by looking at her appearance. This shows that the damage caused by tuberculosis to her body is not obvious yet, and she may still be in the early stages.

Ma Lianliang was a little weak and looked sickly, his face was sallow and his Zhongshan suit was too loose for him.

Obviously, Ma Lianliang's tuberculosis should be quite serious.

Dean Shen stood up at this time and reminded with a smile:

"Alright, alright, we are from the Peking Opera Theater and we are here to provide medical treatment, not to be polite with you. Hurry up and treat the two teachers."

After Dean Shen finished speaking, the staff member next to him handed over a red "pulse pillow" and a wooden medicine box, and another staff member spread out the letter paper and brush and began to grind them on the side.

Lin Sanqi gasped when he saw it.

How could he take a pulse? He knew almost nothing about traditional Chinese medicine. Besides, he couldn't write, so wouldn't this force him to make a fool of himself in front of everyone?
If this hadn't been an order from Dean Shen, Lin Sanqi would have suspected that he was being bullied in the workplace and was deliberately embarrassed?
In fact, this is Dean Shen's mischief. He wants to make you not study Chinese medicine well, and makes you talk about Western medicine all the time. Now let's see what you will do?
What can Lin Sanqi do? He can only bite the bullet and fight back.

In 1960, the incidence of tuberculosis was very high both at home and abroad.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prevalence of tuberculosis in my country was 1950/10, and the mortality rate of tuberculosis reached 200/10, making it the number one killer of adult infectious diseases in my country. Based on this ratio, there are 100 pulmonary tuberculosis patients in every 2 people.

And this data is still based on incomplete and inaccurate statistics. If there had been conditions to screen them one by one when the country was founded, I believe the comparison would have been even more shocking.

Even by 2022, the number of new tuberculosis patients in my country will be 88.9, ranking second only to India among the world's 30 countries with a high tuberculosis burden.

Many celebrities in modern times have suffered from tuberculosis, such as Lu Xun and Lin Huiyin, who died of tuberculosis.

If we count the celebrities that are more familiar to everyone, many of them are also tuberculosis patients.

Our beloved comrade Jia Bao, the wicked Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka Shing, Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou, Yu Minhong who was stabbed in the back by his subordinates, Hunan TV host Wang Han, movie actress Li Bingbing, etc., were all once tuberculosis patients.

Previously, it was written that Lin Sanqi brought his nephews and nieces to visit Pan Ye’s home. Some readers thought it was unbelievable and irresponsible. He dared to go even though he knew that Pan’s father was a tuberculosis patient. Wasn’t he afraid of infecting the children?

In fact, in that era, tuberculosis was not considered a malignant infectious disease. People only regarded it as an incurable disease.

Those who are lucky enough will survive, while those who are unlucky will die after a few years of illness.

Those who refused to give up would go to the beheading site at Xuantingkou and ask the jailers to help them put some blood on steamed buns and feed them to the tuberculosis patients at home.

Therefore, tuberculosis patients do not need to be strictly isolated like the "mask disease" in later generations. Of course, there is another reason why they do not need to be isolated. As mentioned before, 100 out of 2 people are tuberculosis patients.

Just think about it, even after the city was streamlined, it still had a population of 1960 million in 250, and at least 5 tuberculosis patients.

You can lie down on the first day, but you can't avoid the fifteenth. If there is a tuberculosis patient at this relative's or neighbor's house and you don't go there, God knows that there is also a tuberculosis patient at another relative's house.

According to this kind of thinking, you basically can't go out, because there are so many tuberculosis patients on the bus, in your workplace, and in your class at school.

It is unavoidable, and no one takes the initiative to avoid it.

So this time, two famous actors from the National Peking Opera Company took the opportunity of performing in Changping to come to Lin Sanqi for medical treatment. In the small conference room, the leaders of the two units did not avoid him.

At the urging of Dean Shen, Lin Sanqi sat down calmly.

Ma Lianliang was the first to see the doctor. He was already 60 years old at that time. As a master of Peking Opera, he was also an old comrade.

According to the normal historical trajectory, Ma Lianliang should have passed away in 1966. While there were certainly social factors involved, it was probably also closely related to his poor health and frustration in his later years.

Lin Sanqi closed his eyes and shook his head while taking the patient's pulse for a long time, which made Dean Shen roll his eyes.

"Teacher Ma, how long have you had tuberculosis?"

"Hi, I don't know how long it has been, about 5 years ago I started to have fatigue, low fever, and a persistent cough, so I went to see a doctor, who said I had tuberculosis. Later I went to the Union Hospital, had an X-ray, and was diagnosed.

I've taken a lot of medicine over the years, but my cough has not been cured. Because of the long-term cough, my vocal cords have been damaged. You see, my job depends on my voice, but now I'm on stage, and I'm completely useless."

Dean Su next to him quickly interrupted and said:
"Teacher Ma is a famous Peking Opera artist in my country, one of the representative figures of the old male role, the founder of the "Ma School" art, and the leader of the "Four Great Male Roles" of Peking Opera. He is a national treasure-level artist and must not be allowed to fail."

Ma Lianliang quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm too modest."

When Lin Sanqi heard that there were X-rays, he became excited.

If you ask others to feel your pulse, they can tell everything immediately, but if you ask him to feel your pulse, he can only tell how many times your heart beats per minute and whether the pulse rate is regular, that's all.

"Do you have an X-ray? Great, let me see it."

Dean Shen, who was nearby, sighed and complained to Vice Dean Ji in a low voice: "I knew this guy would resort to Western medicine in the end."

Doctors at traditional Chinese medicine hospitals would sit in on patients and diagnose conditions by looking at X-rays, something that was simply unthinkable in 1960.

When Ma Lianliang's apprentice heard this, he immediately handed over the X-ray film in the bag.

As soon as Lin Sanqi got the X-ray film, he breathed a sigh of relief. The familiar feeling came back to him. After all, Western medicine was his major.

There are several films, which are obviously the result of many follow-up visits. Artists have high salaries. Mei Lanfang earns more than 2000 yuan a month, and top-notch actors like Ma Lianliang earn more than 1000 yuan a month. Ten yuan for an X-ray is no problem.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Sanqi put down the X-ray film and felt relieved.

Dean Su was a little anxious: "Doctor Xiaolin, how is it?"

Ma Lianliang was still smiling politely, very self-restrained. The disciple next to him couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Lin, can my master cure this?"

Lin Sanqi nodded calmly, pointed at the X-ray film and said:

"Look at the films taken by Professor Ma. This side shows flaky and flocculent shadows with blurred edges, which is a manifestation of infiltration; while this side has a higher density of shadows with varying shades, and there are holes with ring-shaped borders and translucent areas, which are called caseous lesions.

Whenever exudative or exudative proliferative lesions, caseous pneumonia, caseous lesions, cavities, or fibrous lesions are shown on chest X-rays, they indicate active lesions, which means that tuberculosis is still getting worse.

When Lin Sanqi talks about the special terminology of "Western medicine", he has a set of it that is very professional and also very intimidating.

As a result, all the people in the National Peking Opera Theater were stunned.

In 1960, there had actually been a certain degree of research on tuberculosis, but Lin Sanqi traveled through time from 2023 and possessed knowledge that was 60 years ahead of this era.

It just so happened that the 60s was an era of rapid development in human science and technology and medicine, so when Lin Sanqi spoke these professional terms, everyone was confused.

What is a proliferation focus? What is a caseous appearance? Not only the actors, but even the people at the Chinese medicine hospital found it difficult to understand.

Ma Lianliang was originally skeptical about Lin Sanqi's age, but after being fooled by Lin Sanqi, he immediately realized that he had met a real master, so he sat up straight and asked seriously:

"Doctor Lin, do you think there is any hope for me?"

"This, this..."

Lin Sanqi still wanted to sell the official, but Zhao Yanxia, ​​who was waiting anxiously beside him, couldn't wait any longer:

"Doctor Lin, what do you think of my condition?"

Zhao Yanxia is 32 years old this year. Although she is young, she has a lot of experience.

She started performing on stage at the age of 6, and at the age of 14, she formally became a disciple of Xun Huisheng, one of the four great Huadan actresses. At the age of 15, she officially performed as the top star in Zhonghe Theater. From then on, she only played the top star role in her life. She is a legendary woman.

After the liberation, there were only 14 national first-class Peking Opera actors in the country. The four famous actresses, including Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu, were all first-class actors, and Zhao Yanxia was one of them.

Moreover, she is the youngest and only female actress among these 14 first-class actors, which shows her high status and artistic achievements. Later, she became the first generation A Qing Sao.

"Teacher Zhao, please don't be anxious. Take out your X-ray film and let me take a look."

Lin Sanqi simply threw away the traditional Chinese medicine and treated patients according to his own ideas.

Zhao Yanxia quickly took out the film from her backpack and handed it over with both hands, her eyes full of expectation.

Lin Sanqi took a look and thought it was not too serious. The chest X-ray showed evenly distributed miliary-like shadows of similar size and density.

After putting down the chest X-ray, Lin Sanqi felt relieved:
"Dean Su, Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhao, I have a good idea of ​​your condition. Teacher Zhao's symptoms are relatively mild, so the effect will be more obvious if treated. I can guarantee that Teacher Zhao will recover within half a year."

When Zhao Yanxia heard this, her already bright eyes became even brighter, and she couldn't help but smile:

"Thank you, thank you, Doctor Lin."

"But Mr. Ma, in Chinese medicine, it's called a long-term illness. You've lost too much. Now you not only need to kill the tuberculosis bacillus, but also need to regulate your whole body. The course of this disease will be at least 12 to 18 months."

Ma Lianliang was equally surprised and asked, "Doctor Lin, do you mean I don't have to die?"

A master of opera like him, who was not short of money and had high status, naturally saw famous doctors all over the country and knew what his condition was. Anyway, he thought he would not live long.

He came to the Changping branch because of the precedent of Professor Pan, and he also came to try his luck.

As a result, he was given hope of life again. People are afraid of death, so Ma Lianliang naturally wanted to hold on to it tightly.

Lin Sanqi smiled slightly and replied confidently:
"Teacher Ma, look at what you said, it's not a matter of life or death, it's just a minor tuberculosis, it's not a big deal in our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, don't worry, we will take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Dean Shen straightened his chest instantly. He thought that Lin Sanqi was always on the side of his unit even in a critical moment. He was a dedicated worker and a great guy. He brought honor to the Dean of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

At this point, Lin Sanqi frowned:

"However, the drugs used to treat tuberculosis have certain side effects, such as affecting liver and kidney function, so you need to monitor your condition at all times and adjust the drugs in a timely manner. Given your current physical condition, I'm afraid you'll need to be hospitalized and closely monitored."

The mainstream model for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis is the "quadruple therapy", which mainly uses four drugs: rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol.

The efficacy is definite, but there are also a lot of side effects. Hospitalization is necessary for observation. The key is that Chinese medicine hospitals do not have inpatient departments. What should we do? (End of this chapter)
