The young clerk held a pill and looked at Qian Jun with a sad face.
Qian Jun looked at me with disdain. "Do you suspect Section Chief Chen will poison you? Eat it. If you die from it, I'll take care of your wife and children."
Hahaha.
Amidst everyone's laughter, the young official swallowed the pill and smacked his lips after finishing it: "You know what, it tastes really sweet."
"Nonsense! These pills cost me two large jars of honey. Let's go! I'll come back tomorrow to ask about the results."
If we were to say which department in the hospital has the most stomach problems, it would of course be the "Gastroenterology Department", as they are very professional.
Chen Xia staggered into the inpatient department and came to the Department of Gastroenterology.
This was the busiest time of the morning. Except for the young nurses, the doctors were all busy writing medical records.
Chen Xia stood at the door of the doctor's office and shouted inside, "Where's Director Xuan?"
A young doctor stood up politely. "The director is in bed 13. The patient has had stomach pain for a week, and the symptoms are getting worse. The family is trying to find a solution for the director."
Chen Xia nodded. "Well, young comrade, do your job well and don't keep staring at the nurse."
The young doctor looked embarrassed, then suddenly came to his senses, "Damn, what's going on? I entered the hospital two years before him. Why was I standing up so respectfully when I saw him?"
As a result, he was looked down upon by his colleagues next to him. When everyone saw Chen Xia, they would pretend not to see him and continue writing. Only this big fool would stand up and answer questions.
When Chen Xia reached the door of bed 13's ward, he heard some noise inside and a woman's voice questioning:
"Director Xuan, what's wrong with our Lao Yang? He's been on saline drip for a week, and his stomach pain hasn't gotten any better. Instead, it's getting worse. This can't go on."
Xuan Yongda also looked helpless:
"There's nothing we can do. The patient doesn't pay attention to his diet and smokes and drinks. His current condition is excessive gastric acid secretion, which causes the gastric mucosa to be corroded and damaged by gastric acid digestion. In severe cases, perforation may occur. But there's nothing we can do now. There's no specific medicine for excessive gastric acid secretion. We can only slowly regulate the condition."
"Adjust it slowly, adjust it slowly. How long will it take? My husband can't eat anymore. He has acid reflux and nausea all day long. He has lost several pounds. What should I do?"
The family member of bed 13 who was speaking was almost crying.
Xuan Yongda was thinking about which medicine would be more effective when he saw Chen Xia come in.
"Director Xuan, are you busy?"
"Hey, Chen Xia, how come you have time to come here? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"It's nothing. I just overheard your conversation. Coincidentally, I have a secret recipe for treating excessive stomach acid secretion. One pill is guaranteed to be effective. I was wondering if you guys would like to... try it?"
Xuan Yongda knew that Chen Xia had a special way to get good medicine, especially imported medicine. He had sold a special medicine during the flu epidemic, so he was also skeptical.
"What kind of medicine is so effective? It works just by taking one pill."
"Well, I can't tell you the details. This is my family's secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. Look, I brought the medicine with me. I'm giving it to you for free today."
The patient in bed 13 and his family were incredulous at the sight of a young man bragging so confidently. What kind of medicine could work with just one pill? A fever reducer? How could that be possible?
Xuan Yongda was holding a Chinese medicine pill and looked at it from left to right, but there was nothing special about it. However, Chen Xia was the head of the General Affairs Section and a close confidant of the dean and secretary, so he had to give him some face. So he said a few good words for him in front of the patient.
"He's the director of our hospital's General Affairs Department, not just some small-time doctor. I think Chief Chen's medicine is worth a try. One pill will work, and you don't have to pay. If anything goes wrong, I'll guarantee it."
After hearing what the department director said, the patient in bed 13 put aside most of his doubts and took one with the mentality of giving it a try.
Of course, the title of a hospital section chief still made them a little wary. In this era, the reputation of cadres was still quite high, unlike in later generations, where the reputation of cadres...
After seeing the patient take it, Chen Xia smiled and said, "You'll know whether it works in a few hours. It's free today, but you'll have to pay for it later, haha."
After saying that, Chen Xia took Xuan Yongda to deliver medicine to other gastritis patients for free.
The patients in the gastroenterology department mainly suffer from gastritis, and most of them are in serious condition. Of course, some of them are small leaders whose units have reimbursement and they are not short of money.
Chen Xia gave each person one pill and clearly stated that the effect would be seen in one day, but of course it was not a cure.
Most of the patients were very grateful and thought it would be a waste not to take the free medicine. There were also a few skeptical patients who refused to take the medicine, but Chen Xia ignored them.
If you ignore me today, I will make you unable to reach me tomorrow.
Xuan Yongda confessed everything he had done in the morning after being tricked by Chen Xia. He felt quite amused and helpless.
Chen Xia was about to give him a good slap, as the future sales of the pills would depend on him, so he was being extra polite.
In Director Xuan Yongyuan's office.
"Chen Xia, tell me, what's so special about your pill? I'm not sure if you don't tell me."
Chen Xia thought about it and felt that we should respect these old intellectuals and not fool around with them.
"This pill is my latest invention. It's called a compound medicine. It uses a combination of Chinese and Western medicine."
"Then tell me what the ingredients are?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine is the commonly used ones for stomach problems, such as astragalus, white peony root, yam, tangerine peel, etc. The key lies in Western medicine. The ingredient in this Western medicine is called omeprazole, which belongs to the category of proton pump inhibitors and is a foreign product.
As for the pharmacology, it is more complicated. Omeprazole can specifically act on the secretory microtubules composed of the apical membrane of the gastric mucosal parietal cells and the tubular vesicles in the cytoplasm, and be converted into the active form of sulfenamide.
It irreversibly binds to the sulfhydryl group of the proton pump through a disulfide bond, thereby inhibiting the activity of H+, K+-ATPase and blocking the final step of gastric acid secretion. This prevents the H+ in the parietal cells from being transported into the gastric cavity, greatly reducing the acid content in the gastric juice and thus achieving an acid-resistant effect.
Chen Xia recited the instructions for a long time and found that Xuan Yongda's mouth was wide open and his eyes were quite confused.
This expression was exactly the same as Ren Yuanfei's at the beginning. He was completely confused by these unfamiliar medical terms and principles.
"Chen Xia, I understand what you're saying individually, but why don't I understand it when you put it together? Why haven't I seen it in textbooks or other literature? Is domestic medical care so outdated?"
Xuan Yongda looked confused and a little emotional.
But he did not doubt it. He knew that the gap between domestic and foreign medicine was huge. His lack of understanding only meant that he was not well-educated. However, he had no doubt that this was a benefit brought by Chen Xia's rebirth.
This medicine was also not available abroad at that time.
