Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 221: For the future of traditional Chinese medicine, I will take the lead in making aconite legal (3K)

After taking the medicine, Elder Cheng took the initiative to touch the patient's Cun, Guan, and Chi points, and then said:
“I still can’t touch it.”

Fangyan stood up and said:
"The medicine boiled with high heat is not strong enough. I need to feed more of it before it starts to work."

After saying that, he walked to the backyard and brought over another small bowl soon.

Then he fed the patient the medicine in the same way.

This went on for several bowls, and then Old Cheng said to Fang Yan:

"I can feel the pulse on my hand."

At this time, a medicine picker nearby couldn't help but ask:
“Are there any other side effects?”

Although Fangyan only brought two mouthfuls of medicine each time, it was the highly poisonous aconite after all, so how come there were really no side effects at all.

Mr. Cheng shook his head:

"No, the toxicity should have been neutralized."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

However, some people still suspect that this may be because the toxicity of the aconite was not eliminated by boiling it in boiling water over high heat.

But no one would say that.

Fangyan himself said that he was fine and now the patient has no adverse reactions, which is the best proof.

Soon, Fangyan, who was coming back and forth, fed the patient several more bowls.

Finally, the cold sweat like oil on the patient's head stopped.

The rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the exhaled air gradually became warmer. Although the hands were still cold, the temperature of the feet had returned from the knees to the soles of the feet.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Fangyan fed the patient two small sips each time, running back and forth countless times.

Fangyan, who had an amazing physique after practicing martial arts, didn't feel anything, but Jia Dapeng, who was decocting medicine, was very tired.

For more than fifty minutes, when he saw Fangyan coming, he would pour out the medicine and add water, repeating this process over and over again. He was really afraid that he had messed up some step.

Finally, after this time, he heard the dialect saying:
"The patient is out of danger."

Jia Dapeng sat down directly on the ground.

He felt that if he waited a little longer, Fangyan would be able to save him.

……

On the other side, Mr. Duan came to his old comrade and brought him a pair of clean pants.

Just now he thought his comrade was going to die.

I felt worried and sad. He had been staying at home without any problems, but when he came to my place, drank some wine, took a cold shower, and then became like this.

Even if the other person's family doesn't say anything, he himself knows that it must be related to him.

Fortunately, Fangyan was here and pulled his comrade back from the brink of death.

"The pulse is stable and the hands have returned to temperature. He is out of danger for the time being, but further treatment is needed to ensure his safety." After Fang Yan finished the examination, he said to Mr. Duan and Mr. Cheng who were helping.

Then he said to the store manager Le Miao:

"After the remaining medicine is boiled, continue to take it. Also, start boiling the Sansheng Powder. He needs to deal with the phlegm in his throat."

Le Miao nodded and said that she could take over this matter.

Fangyan thought for a moment, then continued:

"But we will need to use cold water to simmer the next two doses of medicine. Let him take about 100 milliliters in half an hour."

He then emphasized:

"The key point is that this must be done day and night until 4 a.m. tomorrow, when the twelve meridians of Qi and Wei are running to the Lung Meridian and this meridian is flourishing. Only then can the patient be truly out of danger."

This is where the trouble comes in. Tongrentang is not a hospital, so Le Miao needs to make the decision for patients who need to be monitored at all times.

Le Miao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect there would be such a request.

Hearing this, Lao Duan immediately volunteered and said:

"I can ask my grandchildren to take them back home and take care of them. They won't delay you."

However, Le Miao came to his senses, immediately shook his head and said:

"No, our place is still the best. Since Tong Ren Tang has accepted the patient, they will cure him before sending him away. I will arrange for someone to watch over him here when I get off work in the afternoon, so don't worry."

"As a century-old pharmacy, Tong Ren Tang does have a plan in this regard."

"It's impossible to just abandon the patient at that point."

When Fang Yan heard Le Miao's words, he immediately said:

"I will come over every once in a while to keep an eye on the patient until he gets better."

Mr. Duan was very moved after hearing this, and he took Fangyan's hand and said:

"Thank you so much, Doctor Fang... I really don't know what to say..."

Fangyan patted Duan Lao's hand:
"Let's not talk about this. It's our job to cure diseases and save lives."

He could see that Mr. Duan was very excited at the moment. As he got older, he was afraid of extreme joy or sorrow. He was really afraid that the old man would get too excited and he would need emergency treatment again.

Then Fangyan told Mr. Duan that when the patient's condition improved, he would probably urinate again, so he asked him to prepare his pants.

This diverted the old man's attention. He nodded repeatedly and went back to prepare his pants.

After Mr. Duan left, Le Miao asked Fang Yan, "Fang Yan, have you started frying the cold water and slow fire recipe now?"

Fangyan nodded and said, "Fry," and then added:
"By the way, for the two doses of medicine that will be decocted with cold water over low heat, increase the amount of aconite from 150g to 200g."

"More?" Everyone was shocked.

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"150g is obviously not enough for the patient's condition. 200g would be best."

Le Miao was no longer afraid that the patient would be poisoned. Facts proved that Fang Yan said it was okay, so it was really okay. She nodded and went to get the medicine immediately.

At this time, Mr. Cheng finally had some free time, and he said to Fang Yan:

"This recipe is very interesting."

"The total amount of aconite used in the three prescriptions is 550g, and there is also 135g of raw pinellia. Just looking at it, it feels like a deadly amount, but it actually saved the patient."

Fang Yan bowed to Mr. Cheng and said:

"It's all thanks to your support, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it."

Mr. Cheng said indifferently:

"I just thought about it. Aconite and Pinellia have indeed been used since Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. In addition, as far as I know, they are also recorded in books such as Qianjin Fang, Shengji Zonglu, Hejiju Fang, Six Treatises on Febrile Diseases, Zhengzhi Zhunsheng, Wai Tai Mi Yao, Zhang's Medical Encyclopedia, Danxi Xin Fa, Six Treatises on Hejian, and Su Pu Yi'an."

"Some people in our later generations are afraid of taking responsibility, and indeed fewer and fewer people dare to use it."

"After using this recipe, I feel it should be a breakthrough... maybe it will create a new precedent!"

Fangyan shook his head and said:
"It could also be the last song."

Knowing the direction of history, he clearly remembered that in the later Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the dosage of aconite was clearly limited to 3g to 15g.

And after 1985, the combination of aconite and pinellia in the pharmacopoeia changed to aconite against pinellia.

In other words, in a few years, anyone who uses the prescription of Aconite and Pinellia will be breaking the law.

Even though the dialect says that this thing is not dangerous, it is estimated that few people would dare to use it.

"How could that be? Just hand in this medical record and formula. If I don't get a share of the medical achievement award at the Ministry of Health conference next year, I'll write my name upside down."

Fangyan was stunned when he heard this.

Eh, it seems... to make sense!
The reason why Mr. Li Ke encountered so many obstacles later was mainly because when he became famous, the 1985 pharmacopoeia had already been released.

In addition, Chinese medicine later needed to use Western medicine methods to verify its scientificity and safety, which is why there was such a big obstacle to the promotion of his special heart-saving soup.

But at this moment, the Pharmacopoeia is still being compiled for the 1977 edition, and the prepared pig's hoof nail that I made is included in this Pharmacopoeia.

If I submit this prescription myself and the unit in the capital, I will have reserved a seat in advance. I will be legal now. How can you refute me in the future?

Especially if this joint unit is the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I simply cannot imagine it.

When Fangyan thought about this, he felt that this matter was indeed promising.

But he immediately frowned again. This recipe belonged to Li Ke, who had invented it in the 1960s. Although what he had now was an improved ultimate version, it was still someone else's.

The Huangqi Chongteng Drink had not yet been invented, and I copied it in order to save more people sooner. But the recipe had already been made by others, so why would I copy it?
"Hey, Fangyan, why are you suddenly in a daze? What are you thinking about?" Old Cheng saw Fangyan in a daze and patted him.

Fang Yan came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cheng Lao honestly:

"Mr. Cheng, the problem is this recipe. It's not mine. It's just a recipe I got by chance."

Hearing Fangyan's words, Mr. Cheng asked:
"That's easy. The prescription is not yours, but the medical record is yours, right?"

Fang Yan glanced at the patient who was still taking medicine and nodded:

"Um……"

Mr. Cheng continued:
"Submit your medical records. As for the prescription, if you don't know the specific source, just write that you got it by chance from the folks. If you know the source, write clearly where the person came from."

"When the time comes, he will naturally have a share in the award."

"It's just like the Dongzhimen Hospital that submitted the Huangqi Chongteng Yin and the processed pig hoof nail with you before."

The dialect suddenly became clear.

Mr. Cheng stretched out his hand, gestured and said:
"The invention of a prescription can be done by one person, several people, or even one or several teams. In the final analysis, the prescription is fundamentally used to save lives. If you can promote it and save more people, what are you hesitating about?"

When Fangyan heard this, he immediately understood, yes, the prescription is used to save people!

I just wrote Li Ke's name on the prescription. Although I have never been to his place, it does not prevent me from hearing his prescription.

Besides, this is an improved version. Li Ke’s current prescription does not include Laifu Decoction, so the probability of successful rescue is only half.

Dialect nod:

"What Elder Cheng is teaching me is...I didn't see through it!"

Mr. Cheng cleared his throat and said:

"It's okay. You're not a bad kid by nature. You know you don't want something that's not yours..."

After that, he changed the subject:
"Well, I think you should submit this medical record through our Acupuncture Research Institute and submit it together with us."

"After all, there is also acupuncture for ear area therapy. When the time comes, it will be just right to promote it in conjunction with ear area therapy, and it will definitely achieve good results."

Hearing this, Fang Yan was delighted. He was just thinking about using the name of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but now Mr. Cheng took the initiative to bring it up.

Fangyan nodded and agreed immediately:

"You have the final say, I will listen to you!"

When Mr. Cheng heard this, he laughed out loud, patted Fangyan on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, okay, it's worth it that I signed my name for you. No wonder Lao Zhu likes you. I like you too now."
