Chapter 42 Lin Yuan's Daily Work Routine
10:00 AM.
The busyness in the office continues.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried nurses' footsteps came in.
"Director Li, the patient in bed number three is not feeling well!"
The nurse, her face showing some anxiety, quickly walked over to report.
"This morning, the old man experienced persistent chest tightness and shortness of breath, constant night sweats, and palpitations whenever he closed his eyes, making it impossible for him to sleep."
"Dr. Li came over just now to adjust the prescription, but after taking it, there was no relief at all; in fact, I became even more irritable."
The atmosphere in the office instantly tensed up as soon as he said that.
Bed number three is occupied by an elderly patient in his seventies.
He already had multiple underlying conditions, including high blood pressure, COPD, and general weakness.
With extremely poor physical condition, even a small problem can trigger a chain of risks.
The most troublesome thing is that the patient's family members are staying in the ward.
After two ineffective treatments, he became increasingly agitated and his complexion turned very pale.
"Let's go take a look."
Li Chongde's face darkened, and he immediately stood up.
Associate Chief Physician Zhao Wenbo, Attending Physician Li Xiaohui, along with several interns and resident physicians, all followed.
The group quickly arrived at ward number three.
The atmosphere in the ward was oppressive.
The old man leaned against the headboard, his face pale, his breathing rapid, and his forehead covered in cold sweat.
She looked extremely weak and powerless, which was particularly distressing.
The family members stood to the side, their brows furrowed and their faces full of dissatisfaction, clearly harboring a great deal of resentment.
Li Xiaohui stepped forward first and conducted another detailed examination.
Repeatedly ask the patient about their feelings, physical reactions, and changes after taking the medication.
After a thorough examination, the conclusion was exactly the same as before.
It is discomfort caused by physical weakness and stagnation of qi in the heart and lungs in the elderly.
But even after the prescribed medicine was used, it had no effect whatsoever.
Immediately afterwards, Deputy Director Zhao Wenbo stepped forward to look through the medical records.
He pondered for a long time before slowly expressing his opinion.
"The patient is old and his internal organs are declining, resulting in poor circulation of qi and blood."
"I think it's most likely phlegm and dampness obstructing the lungs, compounded by insufficient heart qi."
"We can increase the dosage of lung-moistening and qi-regulating herbs to try and stabilize the heart and lung qi."
He spoke eloquently and seemed very professional.
But everyone present knew the truth.
This explanation is no different from the previous treatment approach.
It was all just empty talk; it didn't solve the fundamental problem at all.
It's just a different way of saying it.
A group of elderly doctors surrounded the hospital bed, chatting amongst themselves.
Repeated discussions and deductions.
The crux of the problem remains elusive.
Everyone was at a standstill.
Throughout the entire process, Lin Yuan stood quietly at the back of the line.
He remained silent, his expression indifferent.
There are rules in the workplace.
When leaders and senior colleagues discuss the illness, it's not the newcomer's turn to interrupt before they've even spoken.
Trying to show off will only make people resent you.
So he kept observing silently.
A few minutes passed.
After discussing it for a long time, no progress was made.
Li Chongde frowned more and more, feeling somewhat troubled.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Lin Yuan at the back of the group.
He had high expectations for this young newcomer's medical skills.
"Kobayashi, you've been watching the whole time."
Do you have any different ideas?
Finally, it was his turn to speak.
All the doctors' eyes instantly fell on Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan then slowly stepped forward.
"Director Li, may I take the patient's pulse first?"
He spoke humbly and maintained a very proper posture.
Li Chongde nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, take a look."
Everyone instinctively made way, and all eyes fell on Lin Yuan.
I wanted to see if this new young doctor could figure out anything.
Lin Yuan walked to the bedside and gently picked up the old man's withered wrist.
Place your fingers steadily on the cun-kou point, calm your mind and concentrate.
In just over ten seconds.
The strength, shallowness, smoothness, and roughness of the pulse at the fingertips are immediately apparent.
The old man's pulse was deep, slippery, and weak, indicating a heavy blockage in the middle jiao (middle burner), while his heart and lung pulses were only superficial and falsely hyperactive.
At this moment, Lin Yuan confirmed the root of the problem.
All the doctors before were fooled by the surface symptoms.
It appears to be a problem with the heart and lungs, but in reality, it's due to stagnation in the spleen and stomach, causing the Qi to flow in reverse.
After taking his pulse, Lin Yuan withdrew his hand and quietly retreated to the back of the line.
His face remained expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
When everyone saw that he finished taking the pulse but didn't say anything, they assumed that he couldn't see anything wrong either.
Li Chongde looked at Lin Yuandao and asked, "How is it? Lin, did you figure it out?"
Li Xiaohui and Zhao Wenbo also stopped their discussion and looked at the new young colleague.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yuan took a step forward.
His expression was solemn, and his attitude was humble.
"Director Li, I didn't notice anything amiss at first."
Upon hearing this, many people nodded slightly.
Everyone felt much better now.
Even experienced doctors like them couldn't tell, so it's normal that newcomers can't either.
But the next second, Lin Yuan changed the subject.
He continued speaking in a calm tone.
"However, Deputy Director Zhao's analysis just now gave me a lot of insight."
These words were spoken.
Zhao Wenbo's eyes lit up instantly.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he felt extremely pleased.
Although I didn't find the problem myself, at least I provided some ideas for the newcomers.
This can be considered as indirectly proving his skill level.
Only Lin Yuan knew the truth.
What Zhao Wenbo just said was all ambiguous nonsense, completely useless.
He said that purely to give the other party a way out and save face.
Don't offend your seniors, and don't steal anyone's thunder.
Being humble is the key to success in the workplace.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Yuan cut to the chase without further preamble.
His gaze fell on the old man on the bed, and his voice was clear and firm.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the patient appears to have stagnation of Qi in the heart and lungs, as well as weakness and night sweats."
"But that's not the real issue."
One sentence instantly overturned everyone's judgment.
Everyone present was taken aback and listened attentively.
Lin Yuan remained calm and explained slowly.
"I have already taken the patient's pulse; it is deep, slippery, and weak."
"The root cause lies in old age and physical weakness. Long-term medication has weakened the spleen and stomach's digestive function to an extreme degree."
"The previous prescriptions were all for regulating the heart and lungs."
"It seems to be the right medicine for the symptoms, but in reality, the medicine is too nourishing and cloying, and tends to promote the flow of qi."
"A weak spleen and stomach simply cannot withstand it; the medicine accumulates in the middle jiao, thus obstructing the flow of qi."
"Disorders of the ascending and descending of Qi, which puts pressure on the heart and lungs, lead to chest tightness, shortness of breath, restless sleep, and recurring night sweats."
A single sentence pinpoints the core problem!
In just a few simple words, he directly pointed out all the misconceptions everyone had.
Previously, all doctors focused on treating heart and lung diseases.
The only thing overlooked is the spleen and stomach's ability to withstand the most critical factors in the elderly!
After explaining the cause of the illness, Lin Yuan immediately gave a complete treatment plan.
"My advice is to immediately stop using all current lung-nourishing and heart-strengthening medications."
"The primary focus should be on strengthening the spleen and stomach, eliminating food stagnation, and clearing blockages in the middle jiao (middle burner)."
"Once the spleen and stomach's Qi flow smoothly, the circulation between the upper and lower parts of the body becomes unobstructed, and symptoms such as chest tightness and night sweats will naturally be cured with medication."
Clear and logical, precise and to the point.
The ward fell silent instantly.
All the doctors present, including Li Chongde and Zhao Wenbo.
They all stood there, stunned, their faces filled with shock.
