Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 110 Sheehan Syndrome (Subscription plus additional chapters)
Seeing Meng Jimin was a little surprised, Fang Yan explained to him:

"My mother works in the gynecology department of Union Hospital. They held a meeting about an athlete's condition. I remembered this when you mentioned it just now. I just don't know if I'm talking about the same person as you."

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Meng Jimin looked suddenly enlightened.

Then Meng Jimin continued:

"In fact, this patient is a former athlete. She is now married and has children. She was originally scheduled to be treated at Union Hospital, but her husband and my master are from the same clan. After hearing the news that my master had arrived in Beijing, he was transferred directly to this hospital."

After hearing this, Fangyan finally understood that it was not that Union Hospital could not cure the patient, but that the patient's family was willing to let Dr. Zhu treat the patient.

After all, although Peking Union Medical College is a Western medicine hospital, if there is an uncurable disease here, it can also consult with traditional Chinese medicine doctors from other hospitals. There is no reason to transfer the patient directly to another hospital.

At the same time, Fang Yan also became curious and asked Meng Jimin:

"So, what is the disease?"

Meng Jimin frowned, thought for a moment and said:
"It's a bit complicated. At first, I lost weight quickly, then I became afraid of cold, my breasts and uterus atrophied, and I had amenorrhea. Later, I had general fatigue, retinal hemorrhage, and a lot of hair loss all over my body. Now I have intellectual impairment, myxedema, vomiting, and coma."

After hearing such a long list of symptoms, Fangyan suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp, but it also sounded vaguely familiar.

Le Miao, who was standing by, felt goose bumps all over his body just thinking about the symptoms. Tongrentang only received patients with mild symptoms, and had never seen a patient with so many problems.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Did the Concord Hospital find any problems?"

Meng Jimin said:
"The report results haven't come out yet, but their Western medical experience has determined that it is related to glandular hormones. They also considered that there might be a tumor as a cause. Finally, they did not rule out the possibility that it was a sequelae from previous training or childbirth."

He paused here and continued:
"Of course, according to our Chinese medicine diagnosis, it is because the Ren Meridian is blocked and the Taichong Meridian is weak, which leads to amenorrhea, blood deficiency and lack of nourishment, which in turn damages the kidney qi and causes extreme qi and blood deficiency."

"The acquired blood and qi are deficient, the blood biochemical process is insufficient, the nutrient blood is deficient, and the organs are not nourished, so the symptoms that appear now appear."

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at Fang Yan, and said:

"In fact, this disease also existed in ancient times. It is the most difficult to treat fatigue disease among difficult and complicated diseases."

When Fang Yan saw the look in his eyes, he knew that this boy wanted to test whether he knew this thing.

Le Miao, who was standing by, also followed his gaze and looked at Fang Yan.

After a brief thought, Fang Yan asked:

"You mean Blood Wind Lao?"

When Meng Jimin heard that Fangyan actually knew this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He also found it by looking up information last night and wanted to show off, but it turned out that Fangyan knew it.

He exclaimed in his deep broadcasting voice:
"That's right, I didn't expect that Dr. Fang also dabbled in gynecology?!"

Fang Yan smiled secretly in his heart. In his previous life, he loved to read treatment plans for various difficult and complicated diseases. The more unpopular the disease, the easier it was for him to treat it.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said out loud, so I can only find other excuses.

So Fangyan prepared his speech and narrated it in a calm tone:

"My mother is a gynecologist at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. There are some books on this subject at home. I read them and I remember them."

This excuse was reasonable and immediately convinced the other two people present. Then Fang Yan continued:
"In fact, this disease was only discovered and classified in Western medicine a few decades ago. The disease was named after the doctor, called... Sheehan's syndrome."

This was probably the first time Meng Jimin heard this name, and he even wrote it down in his notebook with a pen.

At the same time, Fangyan continued:

"The symptoms are almost the same as those of blood-wind fatigue. They believe that this is a sequelae caused by postpartum hemorrhage and prolonged shock of the patient."

"There aren't many treatment options. All they do is give the patient a high-calorie, high-protein, high-vitamin diet to maintain their health, and then use synthetic hormones for treatment."

Meng Jimin nodded, as if he had some inspiration. He stroked his chin and looked thoughtful without saying anything. However, Le Miao beside him asked curiously:
"What about Chinese medicine?"

Fangyan responded:
"Chinese medicine was discovered earlier than them, so there are more prescriptions for treatment. If you want to look for ancient prescriptions, you can find at least six or seven prescriptions."

In fact, there is an expert who can cure this disease at Xiyuan Hospital where Master Lu Donghua used to work.

This person is Qian Boxuan, one of the founders of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He was later known as one of the eight great gynecologists of the contemporary era.

He was born in 1896 and is now in his eighties. His ancestors have been doctors for three generations. In 1955, the year Fang Yan was born, the Ministry of Health specially hired him to come to Beijing to serve as a researcher at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of the Gynecology Research Laboratory of Xiyuan Hospital. This man was an expert in gynecology throughout his life. Although Fang Yan had little contact with gynecology in his previous life, he also knew his name.

Of course, if Mr. Zhu knew this dialect, he would definitely be able to cure the disease. Among Zhu Liangchun’s 62 prescriptions with experience, there is a new prescription that he compiled later.

Thinking of this, Fangyan speculated that it might be related to this patient.

Fang Yan paused and continued:
"Blood-wind fatigue is actually also called postpartum fatigue, which is a type of gynecological disease."

"But this disease is not so easy to treat. There are too many changes in the symptoms, one link after another. If you treat it correctly, you can recover quickly, but if you treat it incorrectly, the effect will be slow."

"But the good news is that modern people's living conditions are definitely better than those of ancient people, and she is also an athlete. The country will not ignore her. Plus, with the help of Master Zhu, her life will definitely be saved. I just don't know how long the treatment will take..."

"Doctor Meng just said that she has too many complications. It will take a lot of effort to save her life now."

Le Miao nodded after understanding.

Then she suggested:

"I think why don't we go directly to see Mr. Zhu? It's still a while before he starts working and seeing patients anyway."

Fangyan also wanted to see Mr. Zhu for treatment, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Meng Jimin glanced at the time on his watch and confirmed that it would be a while before the consultation started, so he stood up and said:
"Okay, let's go together then."

After that, he pointed at what Fangyan and the others were holding:
"By the way, please put the gifts you brought here. I will give them to my master when he comes back later."

Le Miao put the antique away carefully, and Fang Yan handed over the wine.

Meng Jimin said as he put it down:
"You guys are really polite. You even brought gifts with you..."

At this point he was stunned:
"Hmm? Doctor Fang, this wine of yours looks familiar!?"
