A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 90 Only the old medicine can save lives

The post-90s and post-00s present here are the generation that reorganized the workplace. They stick to the truth in their hearts, so how could they give in so easily?

As a result, they all expressed their distrust of traditional Chinese medicine and refused to obey the authoritative opinions of experts.

In fact, logically speaking, young people are not wrong. They are somewhat against traditional Chinese medicine.

Now your Chinese medicine doctor says that he can save you, but he needs three kinds of Chinese medicine, and they are medicinal materials from more than 30 years ago. This is bullshit. Did he travel back to the s to get you medicine?
If it can’t be cured, then it can’t be cured. Why set such a prerequisite that cannot be achieved?
If it were any other old doctor, he would definitely leave after being confronted like this by a young man, but the old Chinese doctors are old and have become masters, so how could they get angry so easily?
Mr. Mao just laughed and explained patiently:
"That may not be the case. You have heard of those cellar-aged liquors and yellow wines that are ten, twenty, or fifty years old. They are all top quality. For example, Moutai, 50 years old, do you still think it is expired and can't be consumed?"

The little doctors were thoughtful...

"Think about the tangerine peel that Dongguan people love the most. I heard that last year, when the richest man in Huadu married his daughter, he gave her a dowry that included 50 kilograms of -year-old tangerine peel. What? Do you think the richest man in Huadu is a fool? Giving expired tangerine peel to his daughter?"

After the old man's explanation, the young doctors suddenly understood and thought they were really shallow.

"Then Teacher Mao, I have another question. Why do we have to use medicinal materials before 1989 to save lives now? A certain regiment has exactly the same Chinese medicine, produced by the same manufacturer, so why can't we use it?"

There was a young doctor who still insisted on the truth and asked the doubts in his heart.

At this time, a middle-aged male doctor took over the topic:

"This is mainly related to a law. In 1989, our country introduced a Wildlife Protection Law, which clearly stipulates that protected wild animals cannot be eaten or used for medicinal purposes. The tiger skin coat that everyone dreams of can no longer be worn.

The reason why many students have a problem with traditional Chinese medicine and think that it is ineffective is actually closely related to this law. For example, as we all know, the tiger bone ointment used by traditional Chinese medicine to treat traumatic injuries, where can we find real tiger bones for use as medicine now?

Philosophically speaking, existence is reasonable. Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, and the reason why it chooses to use tiger bones is that it is the best choice obtained from thousands of years of empirical medicine. Now buffalo bones are used instead. Do you think the tiger bone paste will still be effective?

Let’s go back to the Angong Niuhuang Pills that Teacher Mao mentioned. The three main ingredients in it play a decisive role, namely rhinoceros horn, bezoar and musk. However, due to legal restrictions, rhinoceros horn can only be replaced by buffalo horn, and natural bezoar and musk are all artificially synthesized.

The change of the three main ingredients is just a matter of inches, which leads to a huge mistake. It can be said that the Angong Niuhuang Pills that are still on the market are finished and useless. This is also what Mr. Mao said, the difficulty lies in the ingredients. "

Oh~~~~
After this popular science education, many young doctors have a general understanding of the current situation and difficulties of traditional Chinese medicine.

But the family members outside the ICU don’t want to listen to the popular science. Their children are in danger. No matter if it was more than 30 years ago or more than 100 years ago, you have to cure my child first.

Sun Shu and Jiang Meilan knew there was hope now, so they began to bang on the glass anxiously, attracting the attention of everyone in the ward.

A young doctor came out and came back with the family members' message:
"Teacher Mao, the family wants to ask where they can buy the Zhenzong's Angong Niuhuang Pills, Zixue Pills, and Zhibao Pills you mentioned? They are willing to pay any price."

Mr. Mao looked at the expectant family members through the glass and felt sorry for them:

“Angong Niuhuang Pills, Zixue Pills, and Zhibao Pills are not available on the market, but ordinary people definitely have them in their hands.

Just like Angong Niuhuang Wan, which was sold for 11 yuan at an auction a few years ago, it is an authentic product made in the s. Such Angong Niuhuang Wan can save patients' lives. As for me, I'm sorry, I don't have these three medicines either. If I had them, I would definitely use them to save lives.

So the best way now is for us doctors to help find out. The most important thing is for you parents to mobilize all your connections and search across the country to see who has these three medicines and buy them at all costs.

But hurry up, the patient won't last more than three days. According to the current situation, his life may be in danger at any time. If it exceeds three days, even if you find the medicine, it will be too late to save him. Do you understand?"

Unlike young doctors who do not trust Chinese medicine, ordinary citizens still have great respect for Chinese medicine, especially those in Dongguan Province who attach great importance to traditional things.

The three days were like a sword of Damocles hanging over the Sun family's heads; every minute was extremely precious.

This is a race between time and life.

The Sun family began to mobilize all their connections and started to buy the three Chinese medicines, Angong Niuhuang Pills, Zixuedan and Zhibaodan, from relatives, friends and neighbors at high prices through mobile phones and the Internet.

Sun's father and mother even asked for a sky-high price of 15 yuan for a pill, hoping to cause a sensation in society.

Sure enough, the news of the purchase of a pill of Angong Niuhuang Pill for 15 yuan quickly spread through major media in Huadu, and then caused great controversy and attention in the whole society.

Mr. Sun’s phone was almost blown up.

In order to help this poor child, Mr. Mao helped the Sun family identify the authenticity of the drugs for free.

Unfortunately, after this farce, either the Chinese medicine was not old enough or it was fake. In short, you couldn't buy a genuine Angong Niuhuang Pill produced before 15 at a sky-high price of 89.

A day and a half has passed, and Sun Xiaoming still has a fever. If he was in a state of drowsiness and delirium before, he is now in a complete coma.

Looking at the various indicators on the monitor and test reports, the doctors had already concluded that the patient could not be saved.

Xu Huanghui also had many discussions with hospital leaders, and the content even involved how much compensation to pay and the possible stress reactions that family members might experience in the future.

Yin Lianyi is Sun Xiaoming's cousin, and their mothers are sisters.

Her cousin was in trouble, and Yin Lianyi, as his cousin, was also very anxious. She wanted to do her part, so she posted drug purchasing information in her work group, university group, middle school group, and even elementary school group.

Yin Lianyi also took out 5 yuan of her own money and urgently bought the pills from her classmates at a sky-high price of 20 yuan per pill.

"Urgent purchase, urgent purchase. I urgently need Angong Niuhuang Pills, Zixue Pills, and Zhibao Pills to save my life. Each pill costs 20 yuan. Please help spread the word. I will be grateful."
