Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 490: Drinking medicine at Chou time, prescribing three prescriptions and receiving an invitation from Xiehe

The old lady opened her mouth and Fangyan saw that her tongue was light in color. There was almost no red in the color, it was all white, as if all the blood was gone. Moreover, her tongue was moister than that of ordinary people. This was obviously a pale and moist tongue.

A pale tongue is more common in internal injuries and miscellaneous diseases. It is usually a sign of deficiency syndrome and usually indicates a long course of illness that is not easy to cure quickly.

This also fits in well with her forty-five-year history of symptoms.

A moist tongue is caused by symptoms such as spleen deficiency, indigestion, excessive phlegm and dampness, and yin deficiency.

Fang Yan then looked under her tongue, which was still bloodless, with a few bruises on both sides.

Fangyan said to the old lady:
"Let me feel your pulse again."

The old lady obediently placed her hand on the newspaper that Fangyan had placed on the table, and Fangyan immediately began to feel her pulse at the Cun, Guan, and Chi points.

I took the patient's pulse with both hands in turn, and both times the pulse was deep and stringy.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the manifestation of a deep and stringy pulse is related to many factors.

Liver depression and qi stagnation, stagnation of cold pathogen, deficiency of qi and blood, internal obstruction of phlegm and dampness, and kidney yin deficiency may all manifest as a deep and stringy pulse.

Combined with the old lady's tongue shape, the dialect judged that it was probably caused by the stagnation of cold evil.

This energy rushes upward below the navel. If it reaches the stomach, you will feel nauseous. If it rushes to the brain, you will feel tinnitus or ringing in the ears.

Then Fangyan asked the old lady about her urination and defecation.

It was learned that his stool was dry and hard and must be relieved with medication.

Then the old lady said that after the air around her navel disappeared, a burning sensation appeared.

Moreover, this problem becomes more serious when he wakes up during the day and gets better at night.

This completely fits the description of "bentunqi".

This disease is divided into two types, cold and heat. Cold is the root and heat is the symptom. When cold symptoms accumulate over a long period of time, they will turn into heat symptoms.

The patient is old, with weak kidney qi, malnourished eight meridians, and inability of the Chong meridian to guard downwards. He has suffered from chronic cold for forty-five years. After old age, the five fluids are depleted, and yin is deficient in the downward direction, so he develops a tendency to develop heat.

Now she is ill, the symptoms are more severe during the day and better at night. This is a mixture of cold and heat.

The diagnosis is summarized according to the meridian theory based on the diseases of the seven meridians and eight vessels.

The running pig qi is related to the Chong meridian.

The Chong Meridian is the sea of ​​the twelve meridians, permeating the qi and blood of the twelve meridians.

The symptoms after the disease occurs include irregular menstruation, infertility, miscarriage, shortness of breath, abdominal cramps, and running pig gas.

There are two major characteristics of the Eight Meridians Disease. The first is that it cannot be cured for a long time and chronic diseases frequently occur.

The second is the timing of the attack.

The old lady's situation is almost exactly like that of the old lady.

Therefore, Fangyan’s treatment plan is the same as Lao Chentou’s treatment for running pig qi.

Use Guizhi Jia Gui Tang to treat Chong Meridian, and at the same time assist in filling the Ren and Du Meridians.

Because the old lady is old, she needs to strengthen her other meridians in order to achieve the desired effect.

In addition, according to the medication rules for the eight meridian diseases summarized in "Depei Materia Medica", the old lady's treatment must be taken during the hour of Chou, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

So Fangyan started to pick up the pen and write the prescription.

10 grams each of cinnamon twig, cinnamon oil and white peony root.

Six grams of roasted licorice.

30 grams each of Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Cistanche deserticola, black sesame, purple quartz, live magnet, raw dragon bone and oyster shell, and Anemarrhena asphodeloides.

45 grams of turtle shell.

10 grams each of deer antler glue, turtle shell glue, rock cypress (nine-death grass), and asarum.

18 grams of Alisma orientalis, 10 slices of fresh ginger, and 12 dates.

Mix the two decoctions evenly and take it at the beginning of the Chou hour, which is 1 a.m.

Fangyan held the list and told the patient:

"Pick up the medicine according to the instructions above, then boil it twice, mix the first and second decoctions together, and take it on time at 1 a.m."

The old lady's son asked:

"Does it have to be one in the morning?"

Fangyan nodded:
"That's right, old lady, this time is too long, so it's best to take the medicine at one o'clock in the morning to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

The man took the prescription written in dialect and muttered:

"But everyone in the family was asleep at that time..."

It was a cold day and most people were already asleep at one in the morning. It was indeed a bit troublesome to ask people to get up and heat up the medicine and then feed it to the old lady.

Fang Yan said to him:
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the only way to get better sooner."

Your medical instructions are clear, but whether the patient listens or not is another matter.

There is no dutiful son before a long-term illness.

It is easy to take such good care of your child at the beginning, but after a while, your family members will have objections.

After Fangyan finished speaking, Director Feng said:

"You came to see Doctor Fang, and he asked you to take medicine on time but you thought it was troublesome. So why did you come?"

"Besides, your mother herself said that she was reluctant to spend money on medical treatment when she was young, which is why she managed to survive from the age of 30 to this age. Who did she do this for?"

Director Feng was always easy to talk to in front of Fangyan, but today, she was not so easy to talk to other people. After all, she was a director of a street office, which was considered a cadre.

When he got angry, he naturally scared the visitor.

The frightened man hurriedly explained:

"No, no, I'm just afraid that my mom won't get up at night, and she doesn't sleep well at night, so it's hard for her to fall asleep again after being woken up."

Director Feng doesn't believe this.

At this time, Fang Yan said to the patient's son:
"The old lady's poor sleep is also related to this. Once she is cured, she will naturally sleep well. If you follow the doctor's instructions, she will get better faster. If you don't follow the doctor's instructions, she will get better slower. It's up to you."

I am too lazy to say more about Fangyan. If he has to pay attention to such things, it will be very difficult for him to be a Chinese medicine doctor.

This is not your mother.

The patient's son nodded:
"Okay, okay, I'll take note and follow the doctor's instructions."

After saying that, he left the liquor and cakes he had brought with him, and took his mother to the nearest Union Hospital to get the medicine according to the prescription.

After everyone left, Director Feng called two young men from the street office to help carry these things and then delivered them to Fangyan's home.

He also told Fangyan that from now on, any patients who wanted to see a doctor could be sent to the street office.

Fangyan thanked the enthusiastic Director Feng and accepted her kindness.

After Director Feng left, Fang Yan realized that he had seen three patients today. If the gains were converted into money, they would be much more than what he earned at Tong Ren Tang.

It's just that these three people all have relatively difficult and complicated diseases, and they came here because they couldn't find treatment elsewhere. These gifts also represent the weight of this matter in their hearts and their trust in Fang Yan's medical skills.

The things sent were all edible, which was in line with the gift-giving values ​​of today's era. Except for the chicken that was sent, Fangyan was considering whether to kill it or keep it.

Finally Fangyan decided to keep it. After all, there was no shortage of meat at home. The rooster's crowing in the morning could serve as the family's alarm clock.

At this time, the Union Chinese Medicine Pharmacy on the other side received three prescriptions in succession.

All of them were prescribed by outside doctors, so the people in the pharmacy were wondering, are they setting up the consultation room right in front of Union Hospital?
Otherwise, how could three prescriptions be prescribed in such a short time.

After asking the patients, I found out that the prescriptions were all written in dialect.

They knew it when they spoke the dialect, and reported the news after prescribing the medicine.

After discussion, the hospital leaders decided to invite Fang Yan to come to Union Hospital for consultation.

By the way, we can also set up the Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

However, they did not rush to find Fangyan, but instead found Fangyan's mother and his wife and told them about Concord's plan.

I want them to talk to Fangyan. If he can convince them, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Office will give him a consultant position.

The traditional Chinese medicine at Peking Union Medical College is not very good.

But their TCM consultants are very powerful. Since 49, Shi Jinmo, one of the four famous doctors in Beijing, as well as famous TCM practitioners Ren Yingqiu, Chen Shenwu, Qian Qiguang and Li Chongren have all served as TCM consultants.

Their consultant is equivalent to an expert on secondment to Dongzhimen Hospital. He also receives a fixed salary every month, but does not have to go to work there.

The olive branch extended by Union Medical College Hospital at this time can be regarded as a recognition of the ability of Western medicine hospitals to speak Chinese medicine in dialects.

In the eyes of doctors across the country, Peking Union Medical College is like a major hospital, with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

However, Western medicine has always been dominant, and traditional Chinese medicine has never been strong.

Therefore, being hired as a consultant to the Union Hospital’s Office of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a signal that the Union Hospital’s leadership wants to develop traditional Chinese medicine.

They all knew that the dialect college entrance examination was over, but they still applied for the Capital University of Chinese Medicine.

As long as we follow the dialect, we will have the dialect as a role model.

In the future, Union Medical College will also be able to take advantage of the employment opportunities for the Chinese medicine graduates there.

The leaders of Peking Union Medical College do not have any idea of ​​the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine. At least most of the current hospital leaders do not have such an idea. They just want to run Peking Union Medical College well. Even if Western medicine is powerful, Chinese medicine must also stand out.

Let traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine flourish at Union Medical College.

Later that evening, the news reached Fangyan's ears through his mother and Zhu Lin.

"You want me to be a consultant in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Office?" Fang Yan really didn't expect that he had written three prescriptions at his doorstep today, and was actually invited by the consultant physician of the Union Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Office during dinner.

If he remembered correctly, the consulting doctors here were all famous doctors in Beijing.

When did my status become equal to that of famous doctors in the eyes of the leaders of Peking Union Medical College?

Fangyan feels that he has been seeing patients all the time and has maintained a 100% cure rate.

But he did not come into contact with too many critically ill patients who were admitted to large hospitals.

When he was in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in his previous life, he knew how difficult it was to treat those strange illnesses there.

He has always been very powerful in a pharmacy like Tong Ren Tang. Although he can treat some diseases that cannot be cured by Western medicine, they are a minority after all.

When he received the invitation, he himself was a little bit unconvinced.

Zhu Lin said to Fang Yan:

"After discussing it, the hospital leaders asked us to come back and give you a message."

"If you agree, you can go and complete all the formalities early tomorrow morning. By then, you will be the consultant Chinese medicine physician of the Union Hospital Chinese Medicine Office."

Fangyan pinched his temple to calm himself down. To be honest, this happened a little suddenly.

But there's nothing wrong in agreeing to it now.

So he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."
