Why do experts and directors from various top-tier hospitals frequently appear at a community clinic? Why do nationally renowned experts and professors often visit a township-level health center?
"Pour the old man a glass of water."
Yun Heng said to Tian Zengming beside him.
Tian Zengming nodded, hurried to the side, filled a disposable cup with water, and placed it next to the old man.
"Drink some water first, there's no rush."
Yun Heng comforted him.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Yun." The old man thanked him.
Yun Heng smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he asked Tian Zengming, "Why should I ask you to pour this glass of water for the old man?"
Tian Zengming was stunned. He didn't expect Yun Heng to ask him this question at this time.
Although a little surprised, Tian Zengming hurriedly replied: "The old man is a little excited. Feeling his pulse at this time will affect the diagnosis, so let him calm down."
"Um."
Yun Heng nodded.
Tian Zengming’s answer was correct.
The four examinations of Traditional Chinese Medicine are very difficult, and the influence of external factors can interfere greatly with the doctor's diagnosis. In addition to special arrangements, when encountering some emergency or complicated patients, doctors must naturally strive for excellence in diagnosis, and take care of both their own emotions and the patient's emotions, so as to reduce errors.
The old man had just been crying for a while, and his mood was still a little unstable, which had some impact when taking his pulse.
Yun Heng asked Tian Zengming to pour a glass of water for the old man so that he could take a break. At the same time, he asked Tian Zengming in front of the old man, actually for the old man to hear.
The old man was a very polite man. After drinking a glass of water, his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Come, put your arm up, I'll feel your pulse first."
Yun Heng saw that the old man's mood had stabilized, and then he spoke to him.
The old man put his arm on the table. Yun Heng stretched out his hand to feel his pulse and asked, "How have you been eating recently?"
"I don't have much appetite."
The old man said, "Ever since... I haven't had much of an appetite, but to take care of your aunt, I eat every meal, and even eat more. Sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable at night because I eat too much."
"How was your sleep?"
Yun Heng asked again.
"Sleep?"
The old man smiled and said, "I have to take care of your aunt every night. Your aunt thinks I go to bed earlier than her every night. In fact, I can't sleep at all. I always sleep for a while when it's almost dawn. In the morning, I have to get up and cook for your aunt..."
The old man's voice choked a little as he spoke: "I dare not sleep, if I close my eyes I will..."
The old man stopped talking.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I have to force myself to stay awake every day. It's okay, even though I don't sleep much, I can still persevere every day."
After taking the pulse, Yun Heng released the old man's wrist and then checked the old man's tongue coating.
The old man's condition was indeed serious, but fortunately it was not irreversible.
Judging from the pulse and symptoms, the old man has many symptoms. Because he misses his son and is overly worried, his spleen does not function properly, resulting in qi stagnation, occasional fullness in the stomach, palpitations, insomnia, and forgetfulness.
Excessive sadness, heavy mood and depression cause the lung qi to dissipate and be depleted, resulting in mental fatigue and occasional symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath.
In this situation, the old man has to force himself to take care of the old lady, which makes him overworked and causes him to lose weight.
Yun Heng noticed this when he saw the old man yesterday. He was skinny and his face was pale and lifeless. He forced himself to be strong and concluded that the old man's condition should be no worse than the old lady's. Today's diagnosis proved to be true.
If the old man went to the hospital for a check-up now, he would definitely be able to find many problems.
Fortunately, although the problem is serious, the stomach qi is still there.
The old man is quite remarkable. If it were someone else, he would have collapsed long ago.
"Doctor Yun, is my dad's condition serious?"
The old man's daughter asked hurriedly.
"It's quite serious, but fortunately it was discovered early. With proper care, there's still a chance."
Yun Heng said.
"Thank you, Doctor Yun."
The patient's daughter hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
If it weren't for Yun Heng and Michelle Lin, she might not have noticed her father's condition this time.
This is not to say that the daughter does not care, but the death of their son must have been a blow to the old couple. Most people can understand that the person suddenly becomes thinner or has a poor appetite. All the old man’s daughter can do is to persuade him, and the old man always says that he is fine.
In addition, there was an old lady who looked even more seriously ill. Both Micheline and the old man's daughter focused their attention on the old lady, and the old man was ignored.
Let them go to the hospital for a check-up. If both of them don't go, the daughter won't be able to know some of the situations. Even if she is worried, she is married after all and can't run here every day.
"No, this is all our job."
Yun Heng replied with a smile, then paused for a moment, "Grandpa, given his condition, you should be hospitalized for a while."
"That won't work."
As soon as Yun Heng finished speaking, the old man hurriedly said, "Doctor Yun, please prescribe some medicine for me. Your aunt still needs someone to take care of her."
"Yun Heng is doing this for Auntie." Michelle explained on the side.
"For your aunt?" The old man was a little puzzled.
"Well, Linlin is right. It's for Auntie that you need to be hospitalized."
Yun Heng nodded, then said to the old man's daughter, "After the old man is settled, you go back and tell Auntie that he is ill. When you go back, be rude and scold Auntie..."
