Chapter 67 Measles Relapse and Improvement

Zhou Xuewen trotted over to take the prescription from Xiangnan's hand and quickly ran towards the elevator.

He just caught the elevator going down, opened it in front of her, and strode in.

After entering, she carefully checked the prescription in her hand, wanting to see what the wonderful recipe that Director Liang praised was like.

Zhou Xue asked to go get the medicine, but Chen Yin in the ward did not stop what she was doing.

While the medicine was being boiled, she needed to wake Zhenzhen from her coma.

She took out the silver needle beside her and concentrated her attention. It seemed as if she and Zhenzhen were the only two people left in the world.

He lifted up Zhenzhen's little hand with one hand, and grasped the silver needle with the other hand, and stabbed Zhenzhen's fingertips hard.

At the same time, use the other hand to squeeze from top to bottom to help the hot blood flow out of the body.

During this time, Liang Huaiyou had squeezed out of the crowd. He was going to see what the condition of the patient on the bed was and whether the medication he had just given was correct.

As soon as he got closer, he saw Chen Yin stabbing Shi Xuan again, and drops of dark red blood as thick as ink dripped from his fingertips.

After a while, the blood color returned to bright red, and Chen Yin also stopped her actions.

Just as Liang Huaiyou was about to ask, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Yin continuing to work.

But this time, the target points were Shaoshang, Shangyang and other twelve acupoints, causing them to bleed.

Next are the Tianjingxue and Renzhongxue.

After two needles were inserted, the child who had been in a coma suddenly cried out.

“Wuwuwu——”

This sound made the worried Li Chunli and Xiang Nan cry with joy. No matter what the final result is, it is best that the child can respond to the outside world now.

Liang Huaiyou was attracted by Chen Yin's superb acupuncture skills, and his eyes instantly lit up.

Wang Yue looked at the patient on the bed who was beginning to regain consciousness in disbelief. Rather than believing that it was Chen Yin's acupuncture that woke the patient up, he would rather believe that it was the patient's last breath.

The excitement before him made him unable to help but shout out: "How is this possible!"

Wen Su stared at the scene in front of him in a daze. He just wanted the patient's family to give up, so how could he really save the patient?

Zhenzhen's awakening undoubtedly brought earth-shaking shock to the hearts of Western doctors such as Wang Yue and Wen Su.

Even those who were at the door and were ready to watch the excitement, who were exaggeratedly described by others as someone coming to challenge the club, could not notice that anything was wrong.

"How could this happen? Severe measles is a global medical problem. How could someone wake up so easily?"

"He just woke up, not really cured. That Chinese doctor must have used some secret remedy!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Maybe it's a last gasp of energy."

…

There was a constant chatter of discussion, but Li Chunli and her son, who were immersed in joy, did not hear it.

The two rushed towards Zhenzhen eagerly, shouting:

"Zhenzhen, grandma is here. Grandma is here to see our Zhenzhen."

"Zhenzhen, do you still recognize Daddy?"

Xiang Zhenzhen tried hard to open a crack, and in the hazy picture, she could still recognize her father's outline.

The intense pain made her unable to help but look pitiful in front of her family. She held her stomach tightly and wailed softly.

"Dad, Zhenzhen is in pain."

"pain--"

The voice was very soft, but it hit Xiangnan's heart hard.

Xiangnan hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and turned to look at Chen Yin, his eyes filled with the sincere pleading of a father.

"Yinyin, please, please save Zhenzhen. Just save her from so much pain."

Those who listen are sad, and those who hear cry.

Wang Yue, as if he had caught the weakness of Chinese medicine, quickly stepped forward and said:

"Our hospital has painkillers that can help children feel no pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuewen, who had prepared the medicine, came back from the pharmacy with all the medicines and powders that Chen Yin needed.

Looking at the crowded ward door, she walked quickly and shouted.

"Make way! Make way!"

"The medicine is here—"

Hearing the sound, everyone immediately dodged to the sides, leaving a passage for one person to walk through.

Zhou Xuewen stared intently at the hot, steaming bowl of medicine in her hand, not noticing anyone else's actions at all.

As soon as she entered the ward, her eyes were instantly fixed on Chen Yin.

Although she did not know Chen Yin's name or medical background, it did not prevent her from admiring Chen Yin.

In this field of traditional Chinese medicine that always reveres the elderly, Chen Yin actually dared to prescribe and treat patients in front of so many people, which was enough to make her admire this colleague who was about the same age as her.

"Hello, this is the medicine you requested."

Zhou Xuewen nervously brought the medicine bowl to Chen Yin, holding the prepared powder in his other hand.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Yin nodded to express her gratitude, took the medicine bowl from Zhou Xuewen's hand, picked up the spoon, and prepared to feed the medicine.

"Aunt Chunli, please help Zhenzhen's upper body rise slightly. I need to give her medicine."

"good."

Li Chunli immediately held her granddaughter, who looked in pain, in her arms and watched anxiously as spoonfuls of the brown-yellow medicine were put into her granddaughter's mouth.

The temperature of the medicine was obviously not low, but the granddaughter kept wailing.

But when the medicine was put into her mouth, Zhenzhen was always able to swallow it subconsciously.

After a while, everyone keenly noticed that the patient's rapid breathing gradually dissipated, and his chest, which had been constantly rising and falling, gradually returned to a calm state.

What is even more amazing is that the patient's hands, which were originally protecting her stomach, have now naturally fallen to her sides, and her expression is relaxed.

Everyone who observed this scene was shocked.

As both are practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Liang Huaiyou and Zhou Xuewen both know clearly how good the doctor's medical skills must be to achieve this state.

While being surprised, the two looked at Chen Yin with eyes full of admiration for the doctor with superb medical skills.

As for Wen Su and others, they were already so shocked by Chen Yin's treatment methods that they stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time.

After finishing a bowl of medicine, Zhenzhen fell into a comfortable sleep, and her comfortable snoring could be faintly heard.

Wang Yue watched this scene, his eyes reddened, and he pushed away the people blocking the door and roared:

"Don't you all have your own work to do? You're AWOL. I'm reporting you to your teacher right now."

"Everyone, get out!"

After saying that, Wang Yue pushed away the idle person at the door and strode outside.

Everyone was frightened and looked stunned, not knowing how to react for a moment.

After a while, everyone seemed to realize something and dispersed.

When leaving, many people left according to their departments. On the way, everyone couldn't help but have a heated discussion about what had just happened in the ward.

"If I saw it right just now, the little girl with severe measles was rescued, right?"

"How is that possible? Our hospital is the best in the entire region, and the director of pediatrics was recruited from abroad specifically by the dean. How could we be inferior to an outdated Chinese medicine practitioner? And a young female doctor at that!"

"There are still people lying with their eyes open. We didn't say the little girl was rescued. Her behavior after she took the medicine just now clearly shows that they rescued her."

"You're just being stubborn. In my opinion, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long and rich history and is a complex science. It can treat illnesses that Western medicine can't. What's so unbelievable about it?"

…

For a time, a group of young people who studied Western medicine were arguing over whether Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine was more effective.

In the ward, Chen Yin's treatment is still continuing.

Except for Liang Huaiyou and Zhou Xuewen who had looked at the prescription, everyone else was a little at a loss as to what to do with Chen Yin's sudden action.

Li Chunli looked at Chen Yin who took the child from her arms and couldn't help asking:

"Yin Yin, what else are you going to do?"

"Aunt Chunli, the medicine is only to help Zhenzhen clear her bowels and release heat, and to open and close her lungs. The most important thing now is to make the measles that should have appeared in Zhenzhen show its true form. Only when the measles return can we truly clear the body's blood and release heat."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiangnan immediately thought of the rash that affected the doctor's judgment of the condition.

"Yinyin, come here, come here."

He immediately made way so that Chen Yin could treat her daughter in comfortable conditions.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Yin pulled off Zhenzhen's clothes, revealing her red back.

Then he applied the powder Zhou Xuewen brought on his palms, rubbed them until they became warm, and the powder dissolved in his palms.

The next second, the hands that were still rubbing immediately pressed on Zhenzhen's back.

Chen Yin's force was not light, and the violent movement quickly woke up Zhenzhen who was immersed in sleep. The child subconsciously wanted to resist, but found that she could not turn over no matter what.

This immediately disturbed the hornet's nest.

Zhenzhen struggled hard on Chen Yin's legs with her hands and legs, crying out.

"Mom and Dad! Come and save Zhenzhen, save Zhenzhen, there are bad guys! It hurts!"

Hearing the crying, Xiangnan and Li Chunli felt heartbroken, but looking at Chen Yin's calm expression, they dared not move.

After much thought, Xiang Nan decided to comfort his daughter with gifts as usual.

"Zhenzhen, be good. Your Aunt Yinyin is treating you. When you recover, Daddy will take you to the amusement park."

"No, no, no! Zhenzhen is in pain, I don't want to go to the amusement park——"

Zhenzhen was still struggling, trying to break free, but Chen Yin's hands were like equipped with radar, always able to rub exactly where she wanted.

After the back comes the chest, still using the same movements.

Turning over, Zhenzhen's red face from crying was immediately exposed to everyone.

But compared to crying and losing one's life, everyone still wants life more.

Therefore, when faced with Zhenzhen's coquettish behavior, no one stood up to stop her. Everyone stood aside and watched Zhenzhen applying the medicine with heartache.

Seeing that no matter how much she cried and acted coquettishly, it was useless, Zhenzhen's crying gradually stopped, leaving only sobbing.

At this time, Chen Yin also stopped rubbing herself.

He picked up the medicine and brought it close to Zhenzhen's mouth again.

But this time, after what she had just experienced, Zhenzhen refused to cooperate no matter what. She kept her lips tightly closed and would rather die than drink the medicine with such a bad smell.

No one expected that when the disease was about to be cured, the child would refuse to cooperate.

Xiangnan's soft heart hardened in an instant. He snatched the medicine bowl from Chen Yin's hand and looked at his daughter with a serious face.

Zhenzhen opened her eyes slightly and found that it was her father. She immediately pretended to be pitiful.

She put her arms around her father's neck and sobbed, saying incoherently, "Dad, Zhenzhen, don't drink that smelly stuff. It's not tasty at all."

"No, you have to drink the medicine!"

It was the first time Zhenzhen saw her father like this, and she was so scared that her body froze.

Li Chunli couldn't stand her son's cold and hard attitude in front of her granddaughter, so she held her granddaughter in her arms and comforted her softly.

After a few thoughts, Zhenzhen finally understood that she had to take the medicine today.

She pouted, pinched her nose, and drank half a bowl of medicine under her grandmother's careful care.

Then, he used the same kneading technique as before to apply medicine all over Zhenzhen's chest and back.

Just when everyone thought they had to repeat the previous process, after just five minutes of stopping, new changes occurred in Zhenzhen.

As a three-year-old girl with a body nearly three heads tall, Zhenzhen covered her stomach with one hand and stretched the other hand back desperately, while she kept shouting:

"Daddy, my tummy is lagging, my tummy is lagging."

The shouting woke Xiangnan from his thoughts. He hurriedly picked up his daughter and ran straight to the bathroom.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound broke out in the toilet, and the stench instantly swept through the entire toilet and spread towards the ward.

At this moment, even Wen Su, who knew nothing about Chinese medicine, could see that the little girl who they had judged needed to prepare for her funeral was actually saved.

The six words "severe measles cured" kept echoing in his mind. His eyes were dull and he couldn't believe it for a long time.

But for Liang Huaiyu, Zhou Xuewen and others, their faces exuded a joy that came from the heart.

In addition to being happy that Chen Yin saved a life, we were also excited that Chen Yin broke through an industry challenge and discovered a treatment method for severe measles.

What is even more exciting is that their traditional Chinese medicine has finally surpassed Western medicine in the treatment of a certain disease.

This kind of joy is the excitement after being suppressed and ignored for a long time.

Liang Huaiyou was eager to know how Chen Yin prescribed the medicine.

"I'm Liang Huaiyou from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yangcheng People's Hospital. I'd like to know who your teacher was and where you are currently working."

From the tone, it can be heard that Liang Huaiyou is communicating with Chen Yin as if he is a senior.

Chen Yin nodded and said, "I'm Chen Yin. I currently run a small clinic."

If other people heard it, they might look down on her, but now everyone has seen Chen Yin's abilities and knows that the word "medical clinic" she mentioned is definitely a modest statement.

Although Liang Huaiyou is the deputy director of the department of Yangcheng Hospital, he does not dare to say that his medical skills are well-known in the Lingnan traditional Chinese medicine community.

Because traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the master-disciple relationship, and the master-disciple relationship and their academic school are two different training methods, with huge differences.

Almost all of the best doctors in traditional Chinese medicine have learned from their teachers.

Unless there are unexpected events, they will almost always continue to practice medicine in their master's clinic and generally will not go to other hospitals.

Therefore, in Liang Huaiyu's view, Chen Yin is the kind of person he envies.

"I wonder where Doctor Chen's clinic is?"

"Hui Min Tang."

"But the Huimin Hall in the capital?"

A few years ago, when Liang Huaiyu went to the capital for academic exchanges, he seemed to have vaguely heard of this name.

Chen Yin shook her head, denying the other party's guess.

"Our family's clinic is just a legacy passed down from my father. It's located in Dongyu City and isn't particularly well-known."

"Sorry," Liang Huaiyu said embarrassedly, knowing that he had said something wrong.

"You're too kind."

"I wonder if we can have the honor of hearing how Dr. Chen treated this severe measles patient?"

"Of course, it's right to communicate and learn from each other."

Chen Yin never refuses such suggestions. Before the child came out of the bathroom, she told Zhenzhen her thoughts on the causes of her various symptoms.

"A Chinese medicine doctor uses the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, listening, questioning, and palpation. First, when I first saw the child, I noticed that he was breathing rapidly and his nose was swollen, and his lips were blue and purple..."

When Xiangnan brought his daughter out, he saw the doctor, who used to look cold and unapproachable, communicating with Chen Yin with a gentle expression.

If he had the chance, he really wanted to take a closer look, but the current situation did not allow him to do so.

He quickly carried his daughter to the bed, held her arms tightly with his big hands, and made a begging sound to Chen Yin.

"Yinyin, could you please take a look at what Zhenzhen is?"

"After I cleaned her urine and feces bags several times, I suddenly noticed that she became restless and kept twisting her body."

"Brother Xiangnan, don't worry, Zhenzhen is starting to have a rash."

"It turns out that measles is coming out!" Xiangnan shouted in surprise, and looked his daughter up and down carefully.

I found that red spots began to appear behind my ears, on the back of my neck and at the roots of my hair, which was a sign of a rash.

The measles that had been hidden in the body suddenly appeared, indicating that the heat and toxins in the body were being relieved. For Zhenzhen, this was great news.

Liang Huaiyou looked forward curiously and saw red spots beginning to appear on the child's body.

He rubbed his hands excitedly and carefully observed the changes in the child.

Apart from the rash, the child's face, which had been red due to high fever, has returned to normal, his wheezing has calmed down, and his cough has gradually disappeared.

Chen Yin went straight forward to check, her hands lingering on the child's forehead, chest, abdomen and lower limbs for a moment.

It was confirmed that the child's body temperature had dropped and was only considered a low-grade fever. The lower limbs had returned to temperature and everything was getting better.

Seeing this, Liang Huaiyou couldn't help but suggest:

"Since the child has improved, let's transfer him to our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. It will be more convenient for Dr. Chen to prescribe medication or perform other treatments in our department."

When Wen Su heard that such a good case was going to be snatched away by Liang Huaiyou, he immediately stood up and said earnestly:

"How can that be! The patient is just three years old and should stay in our pediatric department. Moreover, although the child is getting better, he still needs more professional care. Obviously, our pediatric medical staff are more suitable."

"As for medication and treatment, you can go to the pharmacy on the first floor. It doesn't matter where you are hospitalized."

In the last sentence, Wen Su was obviously exposing Liang Huaiyu's shortcomings.

Liang Huaiyou had never imagined that there would be such shameless people in the world.

It was obvious that their department was helpless in treating the patient, but they still tried to prevent the patient from being transferred to a more suitable department.

Perhaps because he had been bullied for too long, he really couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment and could only place his hopes on Chen Yin.

"Doctor Chen, do you think it's better for the child to stay in the pediatric department or in our Traditional Chinese Medicine department?"

In Chen Yin's opinion, there would be no problem for Zhenzhen to be discharged directly from the hospital given her current condition.

However, the patient's family always has their own ideas in this regard, not to mention that this is not Huimin Hall, so she left the choice to Brother Xiangnan.

"Brother Xiangnan, what do you think?"

Xiangnan pondered for a moment, not daring to meet Liang Huaiyou's expectant eyes, and said softly, "It's better to continue staying in the pediatric department. I don't want Zhenzhen to move around unnecessarily."

After saying this, Wen Su proudly raised his chin towards Liang Huaiyu.

Liang Huaiyou was immediately furious. He put his hands behind his back and turned his head stubbornly to look in other directions.

Wen Su excitedly leaned his upper body over the bed and asked curiously:

"I wonder what the patient's condition is now? Can he be moved to a regular ward?"

"Yes." Chen Yin gave an affirmative answer, because Zhenzhen's condition has improved now and she does not need special care in the special care ward.

“Okay, okay!”

Wen Su shouted excitedly and immediately made arrangements for the next work.

"Xiao Zhang, go check what other wards are available in the department and transfer the patient to another single room as soon as possible. Arrange for a blood test and X-ray to check for measles antibodies and lung changes."

He was really curious about what changes would occur in the patient's body after treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.

Chen Yin did not stop this.

Xiangnan and Li Chunli didn't have any either. Although it seemed a bit redundant, for them at this moment, the more checks they had, the more they could calm their uneasy hearts.

Then, Zhenzhen was transported to another ward in the infectious area for isolation while she was sleeping soundly.

Xiangnan looked through the glass of the door and saw his daughter sleeping soundly, his heart softened.

At this time, Li Chunli had gradually withdrawn from the feeling that her granddaughter's life was in danger. She glanced at her son who was lying on the glass and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

The eyes were almost rolling inwards, and the snow-white ceiling and the whites of the eyes contrasted with each other.

It was at this time that Li Chunli suddenly remembered something.

"Xiangnan, where's Qiaoyue?"

Xiangnan was awakened by his wife's name. In an instant, he realized what was going on and slapped himself on the forehead.

"I said I felt like I had forgotten something. Turns out I forgot to tell Qiaoyue that my daughter is getting better. I'll call home and ask Qiaoyue to come and see my daughter as soon as possible."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the hospital's public telephone. Even if he fell, he got up quickly.

Li Chunli looked at her son's miserable appearance and felt it was too much to bear.

On the other side, when Guo Qiaoyue heard the phone ringing, her heart skipped a beat and started to feel down. The scene in front of her eyes gradually dimmed, and she seemed to be about to fall into the abyss.

The phone kept ringing, but she didn't dare to answer it. As long as she didn't answer it, her daughter would still be alive and well in the hospital.

But people have to face reality. The second before the phone rang, Guo Qiaoyue suppressed her sadness and answered the call.

The next second, the joyful voice of his lover Xiangnan rang in his ears.

"Qiaoyue, Zhenzhen has been cured by the doctor my mom brought from home. She will be back to normal soon. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible. We are in the pediatric ward."

Guo Qiaoyue initially thought she had misheard, and a sad expression froze on her face.

"Xiangnan, I know..."

"Qiaoyue, I'm telling the truth. When Zhenzhen wakes up later, don't you want the first person your daughter sees when she wakes up to be you?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Qiaoyue no longer cared about anything else.

He decisively hung up the phone, picked up the keys and his daughter's favorite doll, and ran towards the hospital.
