Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 495: Traditional Chinese Medicine is so good! Will the Union Medical College have a "Dialect Building"?
"Doctor Fang, I'm leaving our Xiaoqin in your care!"

The patient's mother took Fangyan's hand and spoke to him with tears in her eyes.

The father of the same patient also spoke in dialect:

"Doctor Fang, to be honest, I had a dream before I came back. My deceased grandfather said that as long as I go to BJ, I will definitely meet a doctor who can cure Xiaoqin's disease. Now I believe you are that person!"

The patient's mother nodded:

"That's right, it's fate that we're together here!"

Then she spoke into the dialect:

"Doctor Fang, you Chinese medicine practitioners must believe that every patient is brought together by fate, right?"

"I heard that today is your first day at Union Hospital. Look, you met us on the first day. Doesn't this seem like God's arrangement?"

The patient's father also said:
"Yes! If it wasn't arranged by God, how could there be such a coincidence?"

Fangyan didn't say a word, but the patient's parents kept nagging in his ears.

Dialects can actually help us understand their feelings.

I just want Fangyan to do his best to treat the patients.

However, they seem to have not understood the domestic situation and have been saying feudal and superstitious things all the time.

Sometimes it was a message from the ancestors in a dream, sometimes it was arranged by God.

Then I ask you if you believe in fate?
For a while, Fangyan was a little overwhelmed by this family.

The key point is that the dean standing by was just watching with a smile on his face, and had no intention of coming up to help.

There is no other way. Just now someone added that as long as his daughter can be treated and able to walk before the Spring Festival, they will not only donate a building, but also buy all the beds and furniture needed in it.

They spent an unknown amount of money just to have Fangyan cure their daughter before the Spring Festival.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Health has said that overseas Chinese who return should be treated well.

He is definitely a big money sponsor!
Who still says that Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine?

This Chinese medicine is so delicious!
Haven’t you seen that the world-class terminal illnesses that Western medicine faces are no problem at all in front of Chinese medicine. They will arrange all the follow-up treatment plans for you clearly.

The patient had been abroad before, but had been treated in a top Western medicine hospital. But the treatment has run out so far. Only 1/5 of the lung function in his right lung is left, and he requires a lung replacement surgery.

The patient's family inquired about the actual situation and found out that there are only 40 patients who have received lung transplants in the world, and only one person walked out of the hospital and lived for only 10 months.

In short, it's just like the hospital is cheating the patient out of money again before he dies.

Thinking of this, the dean couldn't help but sigh:

The medical system born in Western capitalism is indeed inherently cannibalistic.

Suddenly he was startled.

That's not right! I studied Western medicine, how could I think like that?
He shook his head and quickly pushed the idea out of his mind.

……

Next, Fangyan officially took over the task of attending physician.

After the nurse fed the patient some food, the patient felt much better.

Fangyan then arranged personnel to be on duty here and provide 24-hour monitoring.

Let the patient continue to drink the special heart-saving soup boiled with high heat and water.

Keep drinking until the patient's complexion returns to normal, the cyanosis of the fingers and lips completely disappears, and the pulse is around 80 beats per minute.

The dialect also predicts that the patient will have a cough when the midnight hour intersects with the zodiac signs of Yin and Mao.

Let the Chinese medicine doctor on night duty take good care of you and be ready to give you an injection at any time to help you expel phlegm.

Hearing the dialect, they concluded that the patient would have a cough at that time. The Western doctors who were watching the consultation asked curiously:

"Is there any explanation for this?"

Fangyan looked at the other Chinese medicine practitioners in the office, wanting them to answer directly.

After all, he is a Chinese medicine doctor recruited by Union Hospital, so he should be quite capable, right?

Fang Yan thought so, and then he looked at several Chinese medicine practitioners in the Chinese medicine office.

In just three seconds, several people remained silent, and Fangyan realized that he was overthinking.

Currently, Peking Union Medical College does not attach any importance to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Office, so most of the Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners here are those who come in with some connections.

Some skills, but not much.

So in order to avoid embarrassment for them, Fangyan immediately took over the conversation and said:
"The intersection of Yin and Mao is at five in the morning, which is the time when ancient government offices started working. Chinese medicine believes that the body's yang energy gradually becomes stronger at this time, so people will cough at this time, and the coughing time is very short, but they will cough up more phlegm."

"As for the Zi hour, it is from 11pm to 1am. At this time, the yin energy is strong and the yang cannot overcome the yin, so the cough will last relatively long and the phlegm will be more difficult to cough up."

"Oh..." The Western doctors suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

They now found Chinese medicine very interesting. Fangyan then continued:

"In traditional Chinese medicine, coughing is the result of the struggle between the body's positive and negative energy. The coughed-up phlegm is the way out for the negative energy in the body. So we need to let the patient cough up the phlegm, rather than stopping the cough just because we see the patient coughing."

"What we need is to let the patient cough and expectorate. Once the phlegm in the body is gone, the patient will naturally stop coughing."

Everyone nodded, feeling that this theory was quite interesting. Some people were already thinking about finding an opportunity to take a look at the theories in traditional Chinese medicine.

The Western medicine of Peking Union Medical College has always been considered the best in the country.

But today, when they encounter a disease that they cannot deal with themselves, they see the power of traditional Chinese medicine, which allows them to see an almost impossible task being accomplished step by step.

You can imagine the shock this had on them.

Next, Fangyan arranged for the canteen to prepare fresh yam, fresh lily, fresh water chestnut, lotus seeds, and coix seeds, and cook them into porridge, which would be given to the patient when she said she was hungry again.

The head nurse agreed and said she would do as she was told.

Next, Fangyan asked someone to bring Union Hospital's own prescription list, and then wrote out the modified prescription of the Poge Jiuxin Decoction with Trichosanthes, Xiebai and Pinellia Decoction.

Have someone boil it out first, and only after the patient is completely out of danger, stop using the Poge Jiuxin Decoction that is simmered with boiling water over high heat, and use this recipe for simmering over low heat instead.

After Fangyan wrote the prescription and gave it to the head nurse, several Western doctors came over.

They were curious about what was in the prescription. Although they might not understand it all, they just wanted to take a look. The reason was simple: they couldn't cure the disease, but the dialect could.

The prescription for dialect is as follows:
150g of aconite, 90g of cornus fruit, 30g each of raw dragon bone and oyster shell, active magnet, and purple quartz, 60g of roasted licorice, 15g each of Korean ginseng (add concentrated juice) and aconite, 30g of Trichosanthes, 15g of Allium macrostemon, 100ml of rice wine, 30g each of raw pinellia, Poria, and fresh ginger (cut), 30g each of raw yam and lily, 20g each of four processed kidney herbs, 10g each of dried ginger, schisandra, peach kernel, apricot kernel, asarum, and mustard seed (fried and ground), 4 bamboo sap, 1 cup of ginger juice (add), 12 dates, and 4 walnuts (beaten).

In addition, the decocting process and precautions are written: add 2000 ml of cold water, soak for 1 hour, and simmer to obtain 450 ml. Do not add any cold water during the process.

This prescription is taken three times a day.

After finishing all this, it was already 12 noon.

Fangyan asked someone to get a new prescription for the Poge Jiuxin Decoction, and continued to boil water and use high heat to boil the soup. Even though the patient seemed stable at this time, if the medication was not stopped, the condition would deteriorate again within half an hour to an hour.

Just like the patient treated by Dr. Li in 1998, he looked normal, but later on, as long as he didn’t follow the doctor’s orders, his condition would relapse and become even more terrifying than before, and he wouldn’t even be given time for treatment.

Up to this point, the amount of aconite used has reached 400 grams. If there were no document endorsement from the Ministry of Health, I'm afraid the director of this hospital would not dare to allow himself to use it so freely.

It was lunch time now, and the dean asked all the consulting doctors to go eat. Meals were delivered to the patients' families and other medical staff in the ward from the cafeteria.

The patient was not out of danger yet, so Fangyan didn't dare to leave.

He could only ask someone to deliver a letter to his wife.

However, before I could even take the letter out, my wife came over to the inpatient department on her own.

It turned out that at noon, two groups of people came to see Fangyan. One of them was from a TV station. They said they wanted to report on Fangyan's free medical treatment for a patient during the college entrance examination.

The other group of people were from the engineering team of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who came specifically to install a telephone in Fangyan's home.

Fangyan was not at home, so no one dealt with the two issues.

The eldest sister went to Union Hospital to look for someone, and then found Zhu Lin. She heard Fangyan was attending a consultation. At noon, the eldest sister and her wife did not dare to come to find him. It was not until now, at dinner time, that the Queen could no longer hold it in and came to find him.

Fangyan said to his wife:
"The free medical treatment during the college entrance examination was for Director Feng's brother-in-law, so it wasn't free. It was just to repay Director Feng's favor. The TV station wants to interview him, so I'd better postpone it. I can't leave now."

"If the engineering team of Huaxia Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine wants to install a phone, just let them install it. The phone can be placed in the study."

Zhu Lin nodded and asked Fang Yan:

"What's the situation here now?"

Fangyan said to his wife:
"Today, we are using the special Jiuxin Decoction. The patient is still in danger, so I can't leave at the moment."

Zhu Lin lowered his voice and asked again:

"When I came up just now, they said you were the attending physician for this patient?"

To be honest, she was a little bit skeptical.

How can one become an attending physician on the first day of taking office?

And Fangyan is just a consulting physician in the Chinese medicine office.

But Fang Yan nodded and said:
"The patient's condition is a bit complicated. Western medicine currently has no cure for her lung disease. She has been treated abroad for three years and has reached an advanced stage. The doctors there said that the only option is a lung transplant. However, even with a lung transplant, her survival time is very short. So her family sent her to China, hoping to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. However, among the traditional Chinese medicine doctors at Union Hospital, it seems that I, who just took office today, am the only one who can treat this disease. So the dean asked me to be the attending physician for this patient and to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat her with all my strength."

Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect it to be true.

She nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask:

"I also heard that... after you cure this patient, the patient's family said they want to donate a building to Union Hospital in your name?"

She didn't believe this rumor at all. Who could be so rich?
Unexpectedly, Fang Yan nodded at her:
"The patient's family did say so."

I didn't expect this to happen. Now Zhu Lin can't do anything about it.

In other words... as long as this patient is cured, there will be a "Dialect Building" in the Union Hospital in the future?
