Lin Zhilan was a little tired last night, and when she woke up it was already 8 a.m.

She cursed Su Lang under her breath and hurriedly went downstairs to wash up.

"Auntie, Uncle said he's asked for leave for you, so you can go to work a little later today."

Lin Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling less pressured.

There was seafood porridge that Su Lang had cooked in the kitchen, and it was just warm now after a while.

There was also some cold seaweed salad on the side, which was served with the porridge.

Lin Zhilan thought to herself, "They're being overly solicitous for no reason; they've already committed adultery and theft."

No need to rush to work, Lin Zhilan sat comfortably, sipping her seafood porridge in fits and starts.

Little Linlin came closer, looking at her with her eyes crinkling into crescents.

"Does the baby want some porridge?"

Little Linlin shook her head, "Mommy, drink up, drink until you're full, and grow tall."

Lin Zhilan: "...Thank you, my dear daughter."

Little Linlin raised her hand and touched her face, giggling, "Mommy is a little white rabbit."

Lin Zhilan was amused by her, "Then what are you?"

"I'm a little gray wolf, my brother is also a little gray wolf, and my dad is a big gray wolf! Awoo~~" Little Linlin stretched out her cute wolf paw, put it to her mouth, and meowed.

Lin Zhilan corrected her, "Mommy isn't a little white rabbit, Mommy is a big tiger, roar~~~"

Little Linlin giggled.

Fortunately, there weren't many patients this morning. When Lin Zhilan arrived at the hospital, there were only a few soldiers getting massages.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Zhilan had barely sat down when a nurse rushed anxiously into the examination room.

"Dr. Lin, please come quickly! We have a child here with intestinal obstruction who has fainted. It's very serious!"

Lin Zhilan didn't delay and immediately followed her.

Seeing this, Lin Zijun and Qin Qing also wanted to go over, but they still had patients to attend to.

Ye Congshan said, "You all come along and take a look. I'll stay here."

The soldiers got up on their own initiative and asked them to follow along and learn.

When the three of them arrived at the boy's ward, both the internist and surgeon were there.

"Dr. Lin has arrived."

Everyone turned around and made way.

Lin Zhilan went up to take the boy's pulse, asking, "How is the child?"

The doctor next to him said, "His parents said that he had been experiencing dizziness and vomiting since last night. This morning, they found that the child was listless and had a distended abdomen, so they rushed him to the hospital."

"What did you vomit? Was there any blood? How was your bowel movement?"

"He hasn't had a bowel movement for several days. He hasn't vomited blood, but towards the end, the vomit has a fecal odor. We now suspect a low intestinal obstruction."

The child was originally an internal medicine patient, and the doctor had already provided conservative treatment.

However, the condition is becoming increasingly critical, and surgery is the only option for this type of acute abdomen.

The surgery was very risky, and the parents were terrified when they heard that.

That's when someone remembered that they could ask Dr. Lin from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to take a look.

Whether they are internal medicine doctors or surgeons, as long as they are Western medicine doctors, most of them hold a prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine.

At every meeting, Dean Liu would emphasize the praise for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially Dr. Lin.

The doctors at the military hospital were all top students in the past.

Regardless of whether they appear kind or fierce, they all harbor some degree of arrogance and competitiveness.

Currently, there are not many treatment options for intestinal obstruction. Mild cases can be treated conservatively, while severe cases require surgery.

Moreover, the incidence of postoperative intestinal adhesion infection is relatively high, and the mortality rate is also not low.

It is a classic surgical case of acute abdomen.

They would only be truly convinced if Lin Zhilan could cure the child without surgery.

Lin Zhilan placed her fingers on the child's wrist, her eyes slightly lowered.

The child was about 10 years old, pale, and breathing rapidly.

The abdomen was severely distended, and there were obvious intestinal peristaltic waves.

"Xiao Lin," Lin Zhilan said, "give me a piece of paper, I'll write a prescription."

Lin Zijun had anticipated this, and immediately handed over the paper and pen, giving Qin Qing a smug look.

Qin Qing pouted. She had no experience; she would definitely be more timely than him next time.

In traditional Chinese medicine, intestinal obstruction is called intestinal knot, and the most appropriate medicine is Da Chengqi Decoction.

Lin Zhilan made slight adjustments and told Lin Zijun to go back and decoct the medicine immediately.

The head of internal medicine opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Lin Zhilan said, "Director, the TCM treatment will not interfere with your conservative treatment. This child is currently deficient in sodium and potassium, so you need to supplement him."

"Okay, okay."

The head of internal medicine hurriedly replied that although he wanted to see Dr. Lin's skills, the child's life was the most important thing.

After starting the IV drip, the child became drowsy, and the situation became somewhat critical.

One doctor said, "I think the child can't be delayed any longer; we should have the surgery as soon as possible."

The parents also began to worry, constantly glancing at Lin Zhilan for her signals.

"The medicine is here! The medicine is here!"

"Everyone, give me a hand and help me get the medicine down."

Seeing that the others hesitated, Lin Zijun impatiently pushed them aside.

"Qin Qing, let's do it together!"

The two young people worked together to force-feed the child a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine.

Lin Zhilan disinfected the silver needles she carried with her.

Acupuncture at Zusanli, Tianshu, Shangjuxu, and Zhongwan points on children, using the reducing method, is used to regulate the Qi of the stomach and intestines, and relieve bloating.

Add Quchi and Neiting points for strong purging.

A group of people surrounded the ward.

The child's breathing gradually slowed down, and his abdomen began to gurgle.

"Dr. Lin, is this sound normal?"

Lin Zhilan nodded, "It's just bowel movement, nothing to worry about."

After a while, the child frowned.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and before they could react, the child had already opened his eyes.

"Mom." His eyes were still a little unfocused as he anxiously searched for his mother in the crowd.

"Yes! Yes!" the child's mother replied anxiously, "I'm here, I'm here. Are you feeling unwell?"

The child, his face pale, said, "I need to relieve myself."

"This... Dr. Lin, could... could he relieve himself?"

Lin Zhilan smiled helplessly, "It's nothing, it's a normal reaction, let him go."

The toilet was too far from the ward, and the child had been holding it in for a while. Luckily, a nurse quickly brought him a bedpan.

The others looked away.

The child experienced a series of loud bowel sounds, followed by a foul stench filling the ward.

The child actually passed a lot of hard lumps, which fell into the basin with a thud.

Then there was another gush of urination, and a large clump of filth came out.

Several doctors and nurses, suppressing their urge to vomit, observed the child's excrement.

Some, lacking the willpower, covered their noses and ran out quickly.

The child's mother looked somewhat embarrassed and kept apologizing.

Qin Qing opened the window to let the smell dissipate, and it took a while before it finally stopped smelling so bad.

In the past, some children have swallowed coins, nails, or similar hard objects, causing obstructive intestinal obstruction.

At first, the doctors suspected this was the cause.

After some investigation, it was discovered that it was actually caused by a cluster of parasites.
