Chapter 159: Western Medicine Impersonating Traditional Chinese Medicine
Zhang Xingbang had been waiting outside the house, feeling sorry for the love of parents.
After a while, the door opened and Lin Sanqi took out a bowl of medicine.
"Director Zhang, give this to the patient immediately. It's for reducing fever."
Zhang Xingbang was so excited when he got the medicine that tears were about to fall. "Okay, okay, Dr. Kobayashi, thank you so much. I'll go then."
"Okay, go ahead. There will be more medicine later."
Lin Sanqi returned to the room and closed the door tightly. Zhang Xingbang hurried to the ward, but was stopped by several men in white coats as soon as he turned a corner.
"Director Zhang, is this the medicine that Dr. Xiaolin personally brewed? Can we take a look?"
The doctors at Hu Jian Provincial First People's Hospital were very interested in the medication used by their colleague from the capital. They were very curious about what kind of medicine the Lingnan School would use.
This is definitely not a case of looking down on each other, but rather an attitude of learning from each other. Of course, only God knows whether there is any intention of stealing medical knowledge.
Although Zhang Xingbang was anxious, he knew it was not good to offend the doctor, so he handed over the bowl of medicine.
Several doctors gathered around the medicine bowl and sniffed it for a long time, then dipped their fingers in it to taste it, and then all of them looked confused.
"Old Wang, how many herbs have you tasted?"
"Strange, I only tasted licorice. I couldn't taste any other medicine. It tasted very bitter and strange."
"Yeah, I can't taste any other drugs. That shouldn't be the case. There's nothing wrong with my sense of taste."
Several doctors in white coats had already begun to doubt their decades-long medical skills, but they did not suspect that what Dr. Kobayashi used was not Chinese medicine at all, but Western medicine pills from later generations.
Zhang Xingbang was a little impatient, "Ladies and Gentlemen, can I go give my daughter her medicine?"
"Okay, okay, let's go and see how effective it is."
Zhang Jingjing quickly pinched her nose and drank the entire bowl of "licorice soup". She almost vomited it out because it was too bitter.
Chinese medicine tastes bitter, but Western medicine pills are not swallowed, but ground into powder and soaked in soup. In fact, the taste is very bitter, and the aftertaste is even more bitter.
The young nurse next to her quickly took a mercury thermometer to measure her temperature, which was 38.8℃.
Everyone, including the doctor and family members, were waiting for the results. Ten minutes after drinking the medicine, Zhang Jingjing began to sweat all over her body, with visible sweat beads appearing. Soon her hair was soaked, as if it had just been fished out of the water.
One of the doctors nodded repeatedly after seeing this: "Good, the fever is starting to subside. Nurse, quickly take the temperature."
After measuring, it was 38.0℃, a slight drop compared to more than ten minutes ago.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jingjing's whole body was soaked with sweat. Even on the mat, a human-shaped water stain could be seen. She felt so wet that she was extremely uncomfortable.
Mother Zhang was a little anxious. Seeing her daughter getting irritable, she quickly asked:
"Doctor, is my daughter getting better or worse?"
A middle-aged doctor next to him waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's okay. Sweating is a good thing. The patient's discomfort isn't due to the disease, but rather excessive sweating. Just wipe him down or give him a bath."
Another middle-aged doctor objected: "It's not good to take a bath when you have a high fever, right?"
"That's because you Chinese medicine practitioners believe you can't take a bath if you have a high fever. We Western doctors don't care about that. We believe taking a bath can actually physically reduce the temperature."
The two doctors started to argue a little, and Zhang Xingbang became even more anxious: "Nurse, can you take my temperature again?"
37.6℃
"Wow, the temperature has dropped? It went from a high temperature to a low fever in just half an hour. Is that so miraculous?"
"The Lingnan School has such skills. I admire you!"
Zhang Xingbang and his wife were so excited that they wanted to applaud: "Great, great!!"
Another doctor poured cold water on the situation, saying, "Don't be too happy. Whether it's just a temporary break in the fever or a true break in the fever still needs to be observed. Furthermore, fever-reducing medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Don't forget, this is sore throat."
The ward suddenly became quiet.
After hearing this, several doctors wore their masks more tightly. After all, this is an infectious disease, a plague.
A doctor was puzzled: "Our hospital hasn't seen any other patients with sore throat sha recently. Where did Zhang Jingjing get her sore throat sha from?"
Zhang Xingbang remembered at this time:
"My daughter's school has been organizing a schistosomiasis awareness campaign in the countryside for the past few days. Could she have been infected there?"
Several doctors nodded repeatedly: "It's almost certain. We need to notify the local authorities to quickly prevent and control the disease. If this spreads, it will be a big problem."
In a remote hut.
Lin Sanqi boiled another bowl of Chinese medicine with Chai Gui, then opened the amoxicillin capsule and mixed it into the medicine soup, muttering to himself:
"Hehe, this is the combination of Chinese and Western medicine that has a good effect. Let me play the role of a miracle doctor today."
Scarlet fever is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by hemolytic streptococci. Penicillin contains penicillin, which can activate lysozyme to destroy the bacterial cell wall, thereby achieving the purpose of treating scarlet fever.
Amoxicillin incorporates a hydroxyl group and an amino group into the structure of penicillin, making it more effective and broad-spectrum. It had not yet been invented in 1959, so it is unique in the world.
When Zhang Xingbang appeared in the ward with the second bowl of medicine soup of the day, he was immediately surrounded by doctors again.
Then the doctors who were full of curiosity were hit again and began to doubt their lives, because so many of them still couldn't guess which herbs Lin Sanqi had used.
The doctors even invited the most experienced Chinese medicine pharmacist in the pharmacy, but they still couldn't determine what medicinal materials were used.
This made the doctors scratch their heads in anxiety.
When Lin Sanqi walked into the ward to observe the patient, he was immediately surrounded by doctors:
"Doctor Lin, the two bowls of medicinal decoction you just gave me are very effective. May I ask if these two prescriptions are inherited from your family or are they publicly available?"
Lin Sanqi blinked and said with a smile:
"The prescription I used, uh, of course, is an ancestral prescription. The first one is for fever reduction, and it's called the Luosuo prescription. The second one is for detoxification, and it's called the Amo prescription."
"Losuo's fever-reducing formula? Amo's detoxifying formula? I don't think I've heard of it."
Lin Sanqi smiled slightly and said pretentiously, "These are all prescriptions passed down from our family. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."
At the same time, I thought: If any of you have heard of it, then needless to say, we are all good brothers in the time-travel party, and we can work together to achieve great things in the future.
Never heard of it? You know it's a secret recipe, but why are you asking?
"Oh~~~ I see. I admire you so much!"
If loxoprofen is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease, then amoxicillin is the real cure for the disease.
Some people may say that Lin Sanqi is cheating. How can Chinese and Western medicine be used together? Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and Western medicine is Western medicine.
Some people may ask, if the disease is cured by Lin Sanqi's treatment, is it Chinese medicine or Western medicine that is more effective?
Then the fans of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine started arguing with each other, neither of them willing to give in. In the end, when they couldn't win the argument, they started personal attacks and human flesh searches, making the whole place a mess.
In fact, these are all nonsense from a doctor's point of view. No matter whether you are practicing Chinese medicine or Western medicine, good medicine is one that can cure the disease. Why is there such a strong prejudice?
Whether the cat is white or black, a good cat is one that can catch mice.
Doctors only care about the efficacy of the treatment, only idiots care about a reputation.
At the end of the first day of treatment, although Zhang Jingjing's body temperature still fluctuated, the highest temperature did not exceed 39°C. The therapeutic effect was not obvious, but it gave people hope.
In the following days, Lin Sanqi gave him three bowls of "Amo Qingdu Decoction" every day. Except for the first few days, he no longer used "Losuo Tuire Decoction", which showed that his condition had improved significantly.
Unfortunately, because Zhang Jingjing had adult scarlet fever and her condition was severe, her recovery was not as fast as expected, which made Lin Sanqi a little anxious.
After all, he still wants to make a fortune by "monetizing traffic".
But he works for a company and can't just hang out outside. He has to report back when it's almost time because his patients are waiting for their medicine.
Now, in order to save people, he can only wait and see, which makes Lin Sanqi feel that he has lost hundreds of millions.
It was impossible for the Zhang family to treat Lin Sanqi unfairly, and they had already put a lot of effort into the catering.
Now, he asked someone to buy a big yellow croaker from the seaside, steamed it in the hospital cafeteria, and asked Dr. Kobayashi to taste it.
Zhang Xingbang and Huang Liqiang accompanied him personally:
Lin Sanqi was actually tired of eating fish and crabs these days, and now he really wanted to eat some meat, but pork and beef were too rare in the local area, and the Zhang family only provided them occasionally, so he couldn't eat them to his heart's content.
There was meat in Lin Sanqi's own passage space, but he had no chance to take it out.
So when Lin Sanqi walked into the cafeteria and saw a huge sea fish on the table, he cried out in his heart, eating fish again~~~
"Doctor Xiaolin, ha ha ha, we don't have anything delicious in Fuzhou. This is some yellow croaker we just caught this morning. Try it, it tastes very good."
Lin Sanqi, who had been pretending to be polite, stopped breathing when he heard it was the yellow croaker and asked excitedly:
“Is this a yellow croaker?”
Zhang Xingbang was a little confused and nodded blankly: "Yes, yes? What's wrong with this fish?"
"Wow, it's a yellow croaker, isn't it also called a golden croaker? This is a real treasure, Director Zhang, you're so polite, hahaha."
Zhang Xingbang was a little confused. It's true that the fish is fresh, but the yellow croaker is not a rare fish. If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be kept fresh, it would be a piece of cake to pull several tons of it over to you in one go.
This is the information gap between the two eras.
In 2013, the yellow croaker was almost extinct along the coast. Once, a fisherman caught a yellow croaker weighing 122 kilograms, which was sold for 28,500 yuan per kilogram, with a total price of 3.477 million yuan.
A fish is sold for more than 3 million. You can imagine how precious the yellow croaker, or the golden croaker, is. It is comparable to a century-old wild ginseng.
Not only is the meat of the yellow croaker delicious, but what is even more precious is its fish bladder.
After being made into fish glue, it is a good medicine for treating women's postpartum hemorrhage and infertility after long-term marriage, and it has a significant effect on the physical recovery of critically ill patients after surgery.
Therefore, yellow lip fish maw is considered rare and has magical medicinal value, so it is regarded as a family heirloom by wealthy families and is extremely valuable.
Suddenly, inspiration started flashing in Lin Sanqi's mind again.
