NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 209: Believe in Jiang Ming! Old Capitalist

Ade is now sitting in Fang Xiaofeng's office and is almost scared to death, because in the eyes of someone like him who doesn't understand, any heart problem requires surgery.

He can name several cardiac surgeries. He is too famous:

Heart bypass surgery, congenital heart disease surgery.

However, the success rate of these surgeries is not high because they involve operating on the heart, which causes great trauma and many side effects.

And Ade himself knew that if he really had surgery, his career would be over.

He is only 24 years old and he hasn't signed his first big contract yet!

Thinking of this, I almost knelt down and begged Jiang Ming.

"Dr. Jiang, I'm glad you're here. You must help me! I don't want to die!"

"Get up first, what are you making so much noise for?"

Ade quickly kept silent and followed Jiang Ming's instructions, rubbing his chest to calm his heart.

At this time, Jiang Ming was discussing Ade's condition and treatment with Fang Xiaofeng.

This incident happened suddenly, and Chinese medicine cannot be used for the time being. We have to let Ade recover to normal first.

Fang Xiaofeng first quickly came to a conclusion from Western medicine based on the examination list:
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Fortunately, this type of disease does not require surgery.

Jiang Ming also took a careful look. After all, Fang Xiaofeng was his former director. In terms of this level of expertise, Jiang Ming, who had not been in contact with cardiovascular medicine for a long time, would definitely read the report more slowly.

He found in the test report that an abnormal electric wave occurred somewhere in Ader's atrium. The electric wave passed through the abnormal nerve conduction pathway in the heart, causing the heart to beat very fast, reaching 150-250 times per minute, but the heartbeat was still regular. When the attack occurred, the patient would feel palpitations, chest tightness, or dizziness.

This matches Ade's current symptoms.

Without treatment, the attack can last from a few minutes to tens of hours. If there is no underlying heart disease, the chance of death from this attack is very low.

Cause: Congenital abnormality of the cardiac conduction nervous system.

Stimuli from outside the heart, such as hyperthyroidism.

Surgery is definitely not an option. For a profession like Ade, he will definitely pray that the disease won't recur and continue with conservative treatment.

And even if Jiang Ming wants to undergo emergency surgery now, he has to hold a meeting with the Trail Blazers management and Ade's family to discuss the result. He cannot act on his own. No matter how good a doctor is, he cannot do that.

There are so many things at stake.

And now the primary goal is to relieve his current symptoms.

"Your prescription must be too late. Use a machine or medicine?"

Fang Xiaofeng is also a genius. He immediately pointed out the two current options.

It is true that the only method Jiang Ming can use now is manual massage, but manual massage is not as fast as a machine.

"Let's get on the machine first."

"Okay, get the pacemaker ready!"

In his professional field, Fang Xiaofeng did not allow Jiang Ming any room for objection and directly assigned the task.

Jiang Ming nodded behind him. This was indeed the only way to alleviate the situation for now.

The pacemaker works by placing an electrode wire on the surface of the heart or inside the right ventricle and connecting the other end to a battery (including a sensor). When the heartbeat slows to a certain level or stops, the sensor emits electric waves to stimulate the heart to beat. This is specifically used to treat heart block.

Another type of regulator is used when the heart beats too fast, and its effect is like an external electric shock.

The pacemaker battery is usually placed in the chest below the collarbone or in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen.

Under Fang Xiaofeng's personal control, Aldridge quickly recovered his normal breathing rhythm on the hospital bed. Jiang Ming also took his pulse again and found that it had indeed returned to normal frequency.

"Let him lie down and rest for another 30 minutes and observe."

"Okay, Director Xiaofeng, you've worked hard, so go home first."

Jiang Ming also noticed that it was time to get off work, and said that he would just stay here and watch.

"It's okay. My sister just sent me a message. She's coming over. Let's have dinner together nearby tonight."

"That's fine. I'll treat you. Let's go to Guijie for dinner."

Jiang Ming owes his brother such a big favor, so he must treat him to a meal.

Of course, the main favor he owes me is because I and his sister did so many things.
Then he turned off the silent mode on his phone and replied to a bunch of important missed calls one by one.

The news that Aldridge suddenly fainted in the capital during his trip to China and was taken away by Jiang Ming for treatment due to heart problems must have spread to the United States by now.

Moreover, there is not much news during the NBA off-season. This is the first big news of the NBA off-season, and all major mainstream media have reprinted and reported it.

So the Trail Blazers management called in everything.

The players called one after another. Since they couldn't get through to Ade, they could only call Jiang Ming to inquire.

"What happened to Ade? Heart attack?"

You can tell Larry Miller is still very nervous. If it really is a heart attack, it would require emergency treatment.

"No, it's an irregular heartbeat."

“What disease is this??”

"I just looked at all his reports and found that he did not have heart disease. And this was not just a conclusion drawn by me alone. Several directors of the Department of Cardiology confirmed this."

"Does this arrhythmia need treatment? Will it affect his basketball playing?"

Jiang Ming naturally knew that they were most concerned about this, and he also replied:

“Arrhythmia can be divided into two types: benign and malignant. The so-called benign arrhythmia may make people uncomfortable but will not cause life-threatening.

When malignant arrhythmia occurs, it will seriously affect the heart's blood output, causing syncope or even death. Even if this type of arrhythmia has no symptoms, once it is confirmed, it must be treated. "

"Ade's current condition is somewhere in between. We are now receiving conservative treatment at Dongli Hospital. As long as there is no attack, he will be like a normal person."

"That's fine. Are the attacks frequent?"

Paul Allen breathed a sigh of relief. He had trained Ade for several years, and they could not accept that he would suddenly leave the court because of this strange disease.

"Whether he is seriously ill or not depends on the follow-up. We just used an instrument to treat him, and the effect is good. He has returned to normal. After that, we will adjust the medication and use my traditional Chinese medicine treatment."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Jiang Ming! Fortunately, you are here, otherwise it would be difficult to handle."

"It's okay. Our Chinese ambulance is also very fast."

Right after Larry hung up the phone, Paul Allen called to ask:
"Can it really be cured later?"

"With proper maintenance, there is 99% no problem. I am confident that we can slowly find out the underlying cause and then it will be easy to deal with."

"Okay, we all believe in your medical skills. We'll leave it to you. If you have any difficulties, please tell us. We will fully support you!" "Haha, no problem, boss."

Usually there are some underlying causes for arrhythmia, so to treat arrhythmia, the underlying disease must be treated at the same time. In addition, quit smoking and drinking.

Do not drink caffeinated beverages (such as coffee, cola), relax your mood, etc.

Jiang Ming explained all of this to Ade after he recovered.

How could Ade dare not listen, even though he is a crazy coffee lover and likes to drink a cup before playing basketball.

But now with Jiang Ming’s reminder, I dare not drink anymore!
As for Ade's family, they can only rely on Ade himself, who has recovered, to explain the situation. After all, after the words "arrhythmia" appeared in the news, his family went directly to Google to search for it.

The search results must be the most frightening, something like causing sudden death. It’s useless to call Jiang Ming, and I must hear Ade’s voice before I will stop.

"I'm fine, don't worry about it. With Director Jiang here, nothing will happen to me."

Indeed, although Ade has recovered, Jiang Ming will not just leave it alone.

I would risk my career to make sure Ade never has another attack again!
May our ancestors bless you!
The first person to treat arrhythmia with traditional Chinese medicine is here!
You know, although Ade's relatives may have some distrust of Jiang Ming, in fact, whether it is the fans or even the league officials, they just said "Oh" after seeing the news.

Subconsciously, I thought that since Jiang Ming took me to the hospital in seconds, there would definitely be no problem.

Even the forums have praised Jiang without knowing whether Ade has recovered.
This is the change that Jiang Ming has made to the Trail Blazers' medical team in the past two years, and his reputation has been completely vindicated.

The first person to break the prejudice of pioneers single-handedly!
Previously, the Trail Blazers couldn’t recruit a team doctor, and only veterinarians were willing to come. Now that they have a truly nationally renowned doctor, team doctors from other teams are trying their best to switch jobs here but cannot.

So everyone believed in Jiang Ming's medical skills unconditionally.

Pressure is motivation.

Next it’s Jiang Ming’s turn to show himself.

After Fang Xiaotong hurried over, Jiang Ming first took them to have a meal, and then worked overtime with Fang Xiaotong and Li Yang overnight to prepare a Chinese medicine decoction for Aldridge.

Fang Xiaotong:
"You're acting like a capitalist, treating us first, just to work overtime?"

Liyang also complained:
"I'm not that cruel to my employees. You're just like the Americans. You really know how to exploit us!"

Jiang Ming smiled and said:

"Let's do this together. Then it will be your turn to squeeze me tonight. I'll take it as many times as you want!"

Li Yang's beautiful eyes flow:

"You said it, sister, come on!"

The corresponding disease name for arrhythmia in traditional Chinese medicine is actually palpitations.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are many causes of palpitations, such as external infection, internal injury, phlegm or blood stasis, emotional disorders, etc.

The method of traditional Chinese medicine for treating palpitations is mainly to treat based on syndrome differentiation. Different prescriptions such as Anshen Buqi Pills, Guipi Decoction, Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, Guizhi Gancao Longgu Muli Decoction, Taoren Honghua Decoction, etc. can be used for treatment according to different syndromes.

1. Confident and timid type: Symptoms include palpitations, fright, sleeplessness, frequent dreams, easy awakening, and restlessness. The treatment method is mainly to calm the nerves and stabilize the mind, nourish the heart and soothe the mind, and choose Anshen Buqi Pills.

2. Deficiency of both heart and spleen: Symptoms include palpitations, shortness of breath, forgetfulness, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, dull complexion, poor appetite, or abdominal distension and loose stools. The main treatment is to nourish the heart with blood, replenish qi and calm the mind, and Guipi Decoction is used.

3. Yin deficiency and fire excess type: Symptoms include palpitations, restlessness and insomnia, fever in the five parts of the body, dry mouth and night sweats. The treatment method is mainly to nourish Yin and clear fire, nourish the heart and calm the mind, and Huanglian Ejiao Decoction is used.

Jiang Ming prepared several decoctions according to Ade's current condition. Of course, if he wanted to be cured completely, long-term treatment would be required, so Jiang Ming first prepared some for him for the last month.

Besides, Chinese medicine emphasizes long-term treatment, and if the disease is properly taken care of, it will never recur.

And he also prescribed western medicine. If Ade still feels uncomfortable recently, he will have to use sotalol, ibutilin, etc., which Fang Xiaofeng has prescribed.

In addition, you must be optimistic and emotionally stable; eat in moderation, eat a low-salt, low-fat diet, avoid the six external evil spirits, and keep warm;
Ordinary people should add measures such as strengthening physical exercise and improving physical fitness to prevent the occurrence of palpitations.

"By the way, Ade just confessed to us that he did encounter some misfortune recently, and he came to China just to relax."

"How to say?"

Jiang Ming thought that Fang Xiaotong was worthy of being called the Little Sun, and was also the head of professional nursing staff, so only she could ask the question.

Fang Xiaotong proudly straightened her little bear, but then said with a sympathetic expression:

"His ex-girlfriend left their son with him and ran away last month."

"what?"

When these words came out, Liyang was stunned.

What kind of story is this about rebelling against Tiangang?
Logically speaking, shouldn't it be the black boyfriend in the United States who abandoned his wife and children?

There are only irresponsible men, but rarely women who run away, right?

Are there any black men who are abandoned?
And he's an NBA star.

"I can't help it. He is the best black man I have ever met. Really."

Jiang Minghe and the other two briefly talked about Ade's resume. Ade is a well-known good man in the team. Covering up the skin color, he is filial to his parents and respects the elderly. All his behaviors are not black people's style.

Aldridge has a deep relationship with his mother. He has been dependent on Georgia since the fifth grade of elementary school.

In high school, he kept in mind the advice given to him by "Shaquille O'Neal": Never let your mother down.

The University of Texas was also chosen for him by his mother, as Georgia didn't want her son to be too far away.

Under the love and teaching of his mother, Aldridge did not become a bad boy, but instead became one of the few good players in the league. Everyone who has come into contact with Aldridge knows that he is humble, gentlemanly and very polite.

Then after entering the league, he started dating a girlfriend and successfully gave birth to a boy last month.

"I remember this. I even gave a red envelope."

Jiang Ming clapped his hands.

"But not long after the birth of the child, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him and his son and went to Los Angeles to develop her career."

"I guess what a ridiculous plot."

It makes sense if you think about it this way. Ade's arrhythmia is likely related to this major change in his life.

You know, Aldridge is only 24 years old. At the age of 24, he has to play basketball and raise a child? ?

His mother now lives in Texas, so Ade will definitely have to hire a nanny or something next season, and he will be very tired taking care of his son.

In addition, Aldridge performed poorly against the Spurs in the playoffs this season. He is probably very worried about how much money he can get in his next contract. After all, he really has to support his family.

Anxiety can cause heart problems
"I'm the vice president. Don't worry, we will never trade you or not renew your contract. Just live your life well."

So when Jiang Ming delivered the decoction to Ade tonight, he gave him a direct guarantee.

He would be reluctant to give up such a modern mid-range shooting and handsome forward to other teams!
