Chapter 68 Rare Bone Diseases
The afternoon passed quickly.
There were no serious or difficult cases, just minor ailments requiring treatment and follow-up visits.
Lin Yuan was extremely efficient at seeing patients, and he easily processed all the available appointments.
Before we knew it, it was almost time to leave work.
In the consultation room, Lin Yuan tidied up the medical records and disinfected the last set of acupuncture needles.
I was getting ready to change clothes and leave work.
A nurse's voice came from the doorway.
"Dr. Lin, wait a minute!"
A nurse on duty walked over quickly.
"Director Li wants you to go there immediately. There's a special patient in ward number 3 who needs your help with a consultation."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation.
He put down what he was holding and turned to walk directly to ward number 3 in the inpatient department.
When he pushed open the ward door, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
This ordinary ward is now packed with people.
Li Chongde, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, several deputy directors, and senior physicians were all present.
The department's top executives, who rarely gather on ordinary days, were all present today.
In addition, there were several doctors standing in the room. They looked unfamiliar and were obviously doctors from other departments.
Everyone looked solemn, their brows furrowed, and no one spoke.
All eyes fell on the hospital bed in the middle.
A woman who looked to be in her early thirties was lying on the bed.
The woman had delicate features and skin that was excessively white, even to the point of being sickly.
Even when he was lying weakly in bed, his noble air was still evident, indicating that he was definitely from a top-tier family.
At this moment, however, her face was as pale as paper, and she was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.
When Li Chongde saw Lin Yuan enter, his eyes lit up instantly.
He immediately strode over and pulled Lin Yuan to the front of the crowd.
"Kobayashi, you've finally arrived."
"Come and see this patient, we are all at a loss."
Li Chongde's tone was very solemn.
The group of veteran doctors and orthopedic surgeons present also turned to look at Lin Yuan.
Some people were hopeful, while others had a hint of doubt in their eyes.
After all, Lin Yuan is too young.
With so many strange diseases that even chief physicians and experts can't handle, is it really useful to call in a young resident physician?
Lin Yuan ignored the stares of the crowd and calmly focused his gaze on the female patient.
Li Chongde immediately began to quickly describe the patient's condition.
"This patient is thirty-three years old."
"He has a very strange and unusual disease, and he has been experiencing frequent fractures recently."
"It wasn't a fall, it wasn't an impact, there was no external force causing the injury."
"I can break my bones for no reason, even just walking, raising my arm, bending over slightly, or even just sitting on the bed and turning over."
Upon hearing this, even though Lin Yuan was already prepared, he was still slightly taken aback.
That's so weird.
For a normal person to fracture a bone, there must be an external impact.
How could a simple everyday activity cause a fracture?
Li Chongde continued:
"We did a full range of tests at the Western medicine orthopedics department, including bone density, trace elements, and a whole-body CT scan."
The final conclusion is a mild calcium deficiency.
"The patient has been taking high-end calcium supplements and drinking calcium liquid for a long time. Normally, the bones will only become harder and harder, and it is impossible for them to fracture frequently."
But the reality is quite the opposite!
"The more calcium she took, the weaker her body became, and the more brittle her bones became. In just one month, she suffered five fractures!"
"My wrist, ribs, ankle, and collarbone were all broken."
The deputy director of orthopedics next to him sighed, picked up the conversation, and looked helpless.
"We've tried all the treatment options, but nothing works."
"We've given her all the calcium, vitamins, and nutritional supplements she needed, but her condition hasn't improved; in fact, it's continued to worsen."
"Now patients don't even dare to get up normally, because the slightest movement could cause a bone fracture."
All the experts looked utterly bewildered.
From a medical perspective, it simply doesn't make sense.
Calcium deficiency requires calcium supplementation; the right medicine for the right disease.
How could it possibly make things worse by taking supplements?
This completely contradicts common medical knowledge!
All the experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors present took turns taking his pulse and examining his tongue, but none of them could find a problem.
Qi and blood are not deficient, liver and kidneys are not deficient, and meridians are not blocked.
According to conventional diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this person is healthy.
But unfortunately, her bones are as brittle as glass, and they would shatter at the slightest touch!
Everyone was completely out of options and could only pin their hopes on Lin Yuan, whose medical skills had recently become extraordinary.
Li Chongde looked at Lin Yuan and said solemnly:
"Xiao Lin, the entire hospital is now counting on you to figure out the root of the problem."
"Take a closer look and see what this strange illness is."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan.
All the doctors in the room stood quietly.
The atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
Whether it was the senior director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department or the expert from the orthopedics department who came for consultation, everyone present was a veteran with decades of medical experience.
Faced with the female patient's condition, everyone felt heavy-hearted and at a loss.
No one underestimated or questioned it.
They were simply stumped by this rare and strange disease.
Li Chongde placed all his hopes on Lin Yuan.
Those in the field of traditional Chinese medicine know that Lin Yuan's medical skills are unique, and he is particularly good at diagnosing and treating various intractable diseases that cannot be detected by instruments and cannot be cured by conventional prescriptions.
Lin Yuan walked calmly to the bedside.
He didn't rush to speak, but first carefully observed the patient's complexion and expression.
The woman lay quietly, her face unusually pale and her spirits weak.
However, his complexion was even, there were no pathological bruises, and his breathing was steady, so he did not look like he had any serious underlying conditions.
Then Lin Yuan extended his fingers, gently placed them on the patient's wrist, and calmly took the pulse.
After examining both hands alternately, the pulse was steady and calm, indicating that the Qi and blood of the five internal organs were in harmony and the meridians were flowing smoothly.
From the perspective of conventional TCM diagnosis, the patient has a very good physical condition and no deficiency in the internal organs.
No pathological cause could be found for the frequent fractures.
Several orthopedic experts nearby were exchanging pleasantries in hushed tones.
"All test results were normal, with bone density only slightly low."
"The patient has consistently taken calcium and vitamin supplements, and their daily nutritional management is very thorough."
"According to medical common sense, with this kind of physical condition, the bone toughness will only get better and better, and there will be absolutely no spontaneous fractures."
"But the reality is that five fractures without external force in just one month is completely inexplicable."
Everyone spoke up, offering their opinions and analyzing the condition earnestly. There was no prejudice or argument among them.
Several experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors nodded in agreement.
"We have taken turns diagnosing the condition, and found that the liver and kidneys are not deficient, the qi and blood are not lacking, and we cannot find any root cause of the bone weakness."
"This disease is so rare that it completely defies the conventional logic of diagnosis and treatment in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine."
After a thorough examination, Lin Yuan slowly loosened his fingers.
He had already roughly figured out the problem.
Everyone immediately looked over, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Li Chongde asked softly, "Xiao Lin, how is it? Did you spot the problem?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his tone firm and steady: "I see a problem. Everyone's previous judgment was misled by the surface symptoms."
He did not deny anyone's diagnosis, but calmly explained the root cause.
"The patient's condition is not simply due to calcium deficiency, nor is it due to abnormal bone metabolism."
"Her problem is not on the surface of her bones or in her internal organs, but rather a deep-seated cold and stagnant toxin that has seeped into her bone marrow."
Everyone present listened attentively and pondered the words carefully.
Lin Yuan continued his explanation slowly, his voice clear and bright.
"This kind of insidious poison is extremely hidden, only deep in the bone marrow, without disturbing the qi and blood, harming the internal organs, or blocking the meridians."
"Therefore, the pulse cannot be detected, the tongue coating cannot be seen, and the instruments cannot scan for lesions."
"It won't make you weak and sickly, it will only slowly erode the bones, making them increasingly brittle."
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and showed expressions of sudden understanding.
All the doctors had examined my whole body, but they found nothing. That's where the problem lies!
Lin Yuan continued:
"This is why the more calcium supplements and mild tonics patients take, the worse their condition becomes."
"When warming and replenishing Yang Qi into the body, it cannot dispel deep-seated Yin toxins; on the contrary, it will stimulate the spread of Yin toxins."
"The stronger the yang energy, the more the yin toxins gnaw at the bones, eventually causing fractures and cracks with the slightest movement."
His words were clear and logical, and every sentence made sense.
All the directors and experts present nodded repeatedly after hearing this, completely agreeing with the conclusion.
All the doubts that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
Bone disease tests showed no abnormalities, calcium supplementation worsened the condition, and there was a spontaneous fracture without external force...
All the contradictory symptoms have been given a reasonable explanation.
A glimmer of hope suddenly lit up in the woman's dim eyes on the hospital bed.
For the past month, she has been seeking medical help from various departments, but all the doctors could only give vague conclusions.
No one had ever been able to explain the root cause of her illness as clearly as Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan looked at her and softly confirmed, "Do you usually feel cold all the time, have cold hands and feet, are prone to night sweats and vivid dreams, and always feel heavy-hearted?"
Wen Xiaoning nodded weakly, her voice trembling slightly: "Yes...all of it is true...I always thought it was just a weak constitution, so I've been taking tonics, I never expected..."
At this point, she was filled with helplessness.
It turns out that all my previous treatment methods had backfired.
Lin Yuan gently reassured him, "It's alright. This disease is too insidious to be easily detected, so it's normal that no one can be blamed."
"The key to treating your illness is not tonics, but to clear away toxins."
"As long as the cold and stagnant toxins accumulated deep in the bone marrow are thoroughly cleaned and the bones are restored to normal, there is no need for deliberate tonics afterward, and there will be no more fractures without reason."
Upon hearing this, all the doctors present breathed a sigh of relief.
The real crux of the problem that had been weighing on my mind has finally been found!
