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?
Since he was at Jiaoping County Hospital, and the hospital was quite welcoming, Yun Heng couldn't just drink a cup of tea and leave.
It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and Yun Heng, accompanied by Zhang Xinglin and others, went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Jiaoping County Hospital for a tour.
Yun Heng was no stranger to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Jiaoping County Hospital. Last year, he and the trainees of the training class had stayed in the Department for a few days, and had also dealt with the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tan Gaoyang.
In fact, Tan Gaoyang is also a very motivated director. He even used his own connections to go to Xihua Hospital for further studies. When he came back from the studies, he had a misunderstanding with Yun Heng.
Among the crowd waiting for Yun Heng at the door today was the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tan Gaoyang.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at Jiaoping County Hospital is not large, with only seven or eight people in total. Yun Heng knows the department director, Tan Gaoyang, and the deputy director, Bai Chenhui. He can't remember the names of the other attending doctors, but he has met them all.
When he saw Yun Heng again, Tan Gaoyang felt complicated.
Last year, the reason why the county hospital paid attention to Yun Heng and his group was actually more because of their identities: young doctors from a tertiary hospital and students of Qu Tongwen.
But this year, if you count it up, the last time Yun Heng brought a training class here was also at this time, a whole year ago. This time, the county hospital paid attention to Yun Heng, and it was really entirely because of Yun Heng himself.
The chief physicians and deputy chief physicians from the county hospital who followed him had all worked in this industry for many years. No one had ever heard of a doctor who had undergone such a big change as Yun Heng in just one year.
For others, it was one year, but for Yun Heng, it felt like ten or even twenty years, as if everyone was at a different speed of time.
Although he felt emotional, Tan Gaoyang had to admit Yun Heng's level. During the free medical consultation, well-known Chinese medicine practitioners such as Zhou Wanlin and Hu Xuezhong were unable to surpass Yun Heng. This young man was really young, but also really amazing.
"Doctor Yun, this way please."
Tan Gaoyang led the way and cherished the opportunity: "I was so excited when I heard that you were coming. There are indeed a few difficult patients in our department, and we have been unable to figure out how to deal with them..."
As he was speaking, Tan Gaoyang had already led Yun Heng and the hospital leaders into a ward, while talking about the patient's condition.
"The patient has chronic nephritis, a condition he has had for four or five years. Over the past year, he's experienced swollen feet, arteriosclerosis in both lower limbs, back pain and headaches, fatigue, and frequent urination, requiring him to wake up five or six times at night."
When Tan Gaoyang was explaining the situation, Yun Heng had already arrived at the bedside and was looking at the patient, who was a man in his seventies.
Since he was here, Yun Heng was no longer polite. While Tan Gaoyang was explaining the situation, Yun Heng sat down beside the bed and took the patient's pulse. After taking the pulse, he checked the patient's tongue coating. The pulse was stringy and thin, and the tongue was extremely pale and fat, with a thin and greasy coating in the middle and back.
"Where are the patient's medical records?"
After the examination, Yun Heng stood up and asked.
Tan Gaoyang hurriedly handed the medical record in his hand to Yun Heng.
Yun Heng took the medical record and frowned slightly as he flipped through it.
"Doctor Yun, is there something wrong?"
Tan Gaoyang asked hurriedly.
“There’s nothing wrong with it overall.”
How could Yun Heng say that the treatment was wrong in front of the patient? After reading the medical records, Yun Heng handed the medical records to Tan Gaoyang.
"If I treat this disease, my focus will not be on the nephritis itself, but on the patient's 'symptoms'. That is, the patient has had swollen feet for a year, lower back pain, dizziness, fatigue, and frequent urination at night. Judging from these conditions, this disease is obviously a symptom of old age and frailty.
When reading the medical records just now, Yun Heng discovered that the Jiaoping County Hospital's treatment plan for the patient still made the most common mistake, which is the mistake that many traditional Chinese medicine doctors in hospitals now make, focusing on nephritis.
To be more precise, the focus is on the "inflammation", so similar treatment plans and drugs are used in treatment.
In front of the patient, Yun Heng couldn't say that the treatment was wrong. After all, the patient's family was around, so he had to be careful with his words.
"Since this is a department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the focus of TCM treatment must be clearly distinguished."
Yun Heng patiently analyzed and explained, "As for the pulse, it's stringy and thin, the tongue is extremely pale and fat, and the tongue coating is thin and greasy. This clearly indicates yang deficiency and yin excess. When treating, we should target the symptoms and adopt a method of warming yang, dispersing cold, and replenishing qi and strengthening the middle. This will definitely be more effective. Wenyang Jianzhong Decoction is the perfect treatment for this condition."
As your identity changes, the weight of your words will also change.
Last year, when Yun Heng came over and faced the patient and analyzed the symptoms, no matter whether the analysis was correct or not, Tan Gaoyang had his own opinions in his mind, and the first thing he would definitely do was resist and question.
Unless he figures it out himself, or is persuaded by Yun Heng and finally sees the results, he will change his thoughts and opinions.
But this time, when Yun Heng was speaking, Tan Gaoyang was taking notes seriously with a pen in his hand. He subconsciously thought along the lines of Yun Heng's explanation without any resistance in his thinking.
"Thank you, Dr. Yun, for your advice."
Tan Gaoyang thanked him sincerely.
"Director Tan, you're too polite. There's a huge difference between traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, you must stand upright in clinical practice. When using traditional Chinese medicine, you must base your use on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation. You can't use traditional Chinese medicine in treatment based on the understanding of modern medicine."
"yes."
Tan Gaoyang nodded repeatedly.
After taking a tour of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Yun Heng saw several patients and patiently explained everything to the doctors there.
