Chapter 133 Hysteria...
Upon hearing that Doctor Chen was back, the patient's family members unconsciously relaxed their grip, and joy was about to overflow from their hearts.
The couple came here originally for Dr. Chen, but they didn't expect that Dr. Chen was on a business trip to another province. When they heard the news that he was back, their dead hearts began to beat faster.
Yang Yunxiang gave instructions to her family and quickened her pace to run to Chen Yin's clinic.
The hurried footsteps were particularly noticeable in the quiet corridor of the clinic. Medical institutions such as hospitals basically have an unspoken consensus.
That is, medical staff in the hospital are not allowed to run. This action is likely to cause widespread panic and cause irreparable losses.
When Chen Yin heard the footsteps, she thought someone had forgotten.
Just as I was about to go out and give some instructions, I suddenly noticed footsteps getting closer and closer.
As soon as I opened the door, the person who came into my sight was Yang Yunxiang who had just left.
"Nurse Yang, is there something urgent?"
"Doctor Chen, a patient that Doctor Liu admitted yesterday suddenly had an emergency. Please come and see him as soon as possible."
After saying that, Yang Yunxiang pointed in the direction of the third floor, "It's in Ward 3015 on the third floor."
After telling Chen Yin the details, she quickly ran towards Liu Xianhua's clinic.
As the patient's first doctor, Liu Xianhua has a major responsibility for the changes in the patient's condition, which he naturally cannot forget.
When Chen Yin heard that the patient's condition had worsened, she turned around, picked up her backpack, and strode towards Ward 3015.
Before she even entered the door, she heard a heavy breathing sound.
When we walked in, we saw the patient lying on the bed, his whole body shaking unnaturally, and even his right hand and right leg were twitching from time to time.
The patient's head was covered in sweat, and he inhaled deeply through his nose, but his breathing was still intermittent. It was heartbreaking for those who saw him.
The patient's parents heard the door being pushed open and quickly turned around to check.
Jiang's mother recognized Chen Yin's face at a glance as the one ranked among the staff members of the clinic on the first floor.
The identity of the person who came was self-evident. Surprised, she slowly relaxed the pressure and shouted excitedly:
"Doctor Chen!"
"Hello, I'm here to check on the patient."
Chen Yin nodded, walked to the end of the bed, and further observed the patient's condition.
Then he took out the silver needles from the bag and inserted them into the Yintang and Shenmen acupoints of the patient who had involuntary body twitching.
It only took a few seconds of acupuncture for the patient's mood to be relieved immediately.
Both of them were a little out of control, and suddenly they became quiet. Jiang's parents were a little overwhelmed.
Father and Mother Jiang loosened their hands slightly and looked at their calm daughter, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the two were still doing what they had just done, Chen Yin softly reminded them:
"The two family members can relax now. The patient shouldn't be ill again for a while."
"Really?" Father Jiang said doubtfully.
Jiang's mother trusted Chen Yin very much, and she quickly let go of her hand almost as soon as she finished speaking.
Seeing that her daughter was really not as agitated as before, she cried with joy.
"Doctor Chen!"
Mother Jiang shouted excitedly. Liu Xianhua and Yang Yunxiang, who had just arrived, thought something unexpected had happened in the ward and hurriedly pushed open the door.
"Bang!" The door handle hit the wall, scaring everyone in the room so much that they all turned their attention to the door.
Liu Xianhua looked at the three calm people in the room and pulled the corners of his mouth embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I thought something happened and I was a little anxious. Sorry, sorry."
"I'm sorry." Yang Yunxiang bowed and apologized.
Jiang's father and mother were so grateful to the doctor who was willing to treat their daughter that they didn't care about anything else, especially since their daughter showed no signs of illness at all.
"I was just too excited. Your doctor's misunderstanding is understandable."
Mother Jiang wiped the tears from her face in embarrassment, smiled with tears in her eyes and said to Liu Xianhua.
Then, she pointed at her daughter lying on the hospital bed and said, "Doctor Liu, look, Doctor Chen really lives up to his reputation as a medical expert. After two injections, Zhuzhu is really calm."
Liu Xianhua looked in the direction of Jiang Mu's finger and saw the silver needle on the patient's Yintang acupoint at a glance.
Yintang acupoint is where the meridian qi originates and has the effect of calming the mind①.
Why didn't he dare to give the patient an acupuncture when he fell ill before?
It has to be said that Chen Yin's appearance gave Liu Xianhua endless confidence. He walked quickly towards Chen Yin and handed her the medical record he had written.
"Doctor Chen, please take a look at the patient's medical records. I'm a little unsure about her condition. After discussing and considering with everyone, I've prescribed a dose of Ganmai Dazao Decoction to nourish the heart and calm the mind."
Hearing this, Chen Yin nodded, took the medical record and checked the contents.
According to the patient's family, the patient suddenly fell ill nearly two months ago. He has seen many Chinese and Western doctors and taken many medicines, but there is still no effect.
The symptoms are strange. First, there is dizziness, tremors all over the body, numbness and convulsions on the right half of the body, sudden crying and laughing for no reason, or sadness, anger, and excessive worry.
Now I have symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating and wheezing, and insomnia and nightmares.
Chen Yin's first reaction was that she saw a mess and was unable to determine the general cause of the patient's illness.
Liu Xianhua observed Chen Yin finish browsing the medical records and asked anxiously:
"Doctor Chen, what do you think is the cause of the patient's illness?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yin classified and analyzed the various symptoms that appeared in the patient one by one.
"First, the patient is moody and has tremors and convulsions all over his body. These are all signs that the liver is losing its ability to mediate."
"Secondly, the heart governs the mind, and if the mind is disturbed, the heart loses its nourishment."
"Furthermore, the numbness and twitching on the right side of the body is due to poor circulation of Qi and blood."
Liu Xianhua nodded continuously as he listened.
In his opinion, everything Chen Yin said was consistent with the patient's symptoms.
But because of this, it is more complicated to find the main cause.
It seems that all diseases are present, so how can we prescribe the right medicine?
Chen Yin returned the medical record to Liu Xianhua, walked to the patient's right side, replaced Jiang's father's position, stood beside him, and prepared to examine the patient personally.
She first removed the inserted silver needle, opened the patient's mouth, and observed the condition of the tongue.
The tongue is light red with little tongue coating.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yin's hand moved down the patient's body. When she touched the patient's lower abdomen, the special bulge attracted attention.
She had not seen a similar description in the patient's medical records before.
While thinking, Chen Yin increased the strength of her hand. With a press, she could clearly feel the exhalation sound coming from the patient's throat.
The patient's face also showed an abnormal feeling of stuffiness, as if he was deliberately holding his breath.
Everyone present stared at Chen Yin's actions intently, unwilling to look away.
Especially the first doctor, Liu Xianhua, he was really curious about how to treat this difficult and complicated disease, so that he would not be helpless if he encountered it again next time.
Chen Yin finished examining the body and finally took the pulse.
The patient's six pulses are as thin as threads, and the two-inch pulse is particularly deep and weak②.
Apart from this, no other abnormalities were found in the patient. However, these were enough for Chen Yin to find the specific cause of the patient's illness.
"Doctor Chen, can you cure it?"
The moment Chen Yin withdrew her hand, Jiang's mother couldn't wait to ask questions.
Chen Yin nodded slightly, without a trace of worry on her face about encountering difficulties, which made people's heart beat faster involuntarily.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Chen Yin expressed her judgment.
"After my diagnosis, I believe that all of the patient's symptoms are caused by atmospheric depression, and his condition can be called 'hysteria.'"
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Jiang heard the word "hysteria", he jumped up and down in panic.
"What! My daughter is crazy."
As soon as he asked the question, he seemed to be devastated by something and started answering his own questions.
"That's right. What's the difference between a person who can't control his wry smile and is twitching all over and a madman?"
"Don't force me to hit you, you idiot!"
Jiang's mother couldn't bear to hear this. In her opinion, Doctor Chen's words meant that her daughter could still be saved.
As long as she is cured, my daughter will definitely be able to return to her normal appearance.
"Doctor Chen, can my daughter still be saved?"
Chen Yin nodded and gave an answer that made Jiang's mother ecstatic.
"Now that the cause of the disease has been identified and the right medicine has been prescribed, the patient will recover soon."
“Okay, okay!”
“Okay, okay!”
At this moment, Father and Mother Jiang were still overwhelmed by joy and could not say anything except the word "good".
Chen Yin was used to seeing the various expressions of family members when the patient's condition changed, and she was not affected. She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the prescription she had prepared in her mind.
After putting down the last stroke, Liu Xianhua took the prescription before everyone else.
"Shengxian Soup!"
He recognized at a glance that the prescription Chen Yin had prepared was Shengxian Decoction, which included a large amount of white peony root, weighing up to 100 grams.
Perhaps it was because he had seen Chen Yin frequently overuse certain medicinal herbs during treatment.
This time, there was not much shock on Liu Xianhua's face.
He carefully read through the ingredients and dosage on the prescription and memorized them all.
Then he said to the family, "I will go downstairs and ask the pharmacy to make some medicine. Please wait a moment."
Hearing this, Jiang's father and mother could only nod excitedly.
For the two of them, they had already waited for two months, so the time spent boiling the medicine was nothing.
After seeing the patient, it was time for lunch break. Chen Yin glanced at her watch and reminded:
"Would you two family members like the cafeteria to send some food? You've been tired all morning and must be hungry."
Father and Mother Jiang looked at each other and could clearly see what was in each other's eyes.
"I'm really a little hungry. Please excuse me, Doctor Chen."
"This is what our clinic is supposed to do. Please wait a moment while I go to the cafeteria to give instructions. If there's anything urgent, please report it to the nurses and call me."
"Hmmmm!"
Under the admiring gazes of the two, Chen Yin took Yang Yunxiang away.
On the way, Yang Yunxiang's mind was filled with what Chen Yin had just said when she was diagnosing the disease in the ward.
At the beginning, Doctor Chen mentioned the liver, heart and poor qi circulation. The prescription he used later mainly treats the sinking of qi. So what about the heart and liver?
Yang Yunxiang knew that her question was stupid, but if she didn't get to the bottom of it, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Despite being extremely conflicted, she still asked the question in her mind at the moment when she was about to step into the cafeteria.
"Doctor Chen, can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, please." Chen Yin looked at Yang Yunxiang in surprise and gave her an encouraging look.
Yang Yunxiang's cheeks flushed slightly when she received Chen Yin's encouragement.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Doctor Chen. Since I came to Huimintang, I have been secretly learning some knowledge of Chinese medicine. Otherwise, I am worried that what I learned before will make me laugh when I work in the clinic."
"Your idea is good, but you do great work and work hard, so don't be too modest."
Hearing this, Yang Yunxiang's face became even hotter, and her eyes turned red.
