Chapter 135: The desire for knowledge...
Li Weimin held the prescription in one hand, raised it high, and shook it violently. The paper made a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"Doctor Chen! What do you mean? Why is the prescription for my mother's illness completely different from the one for the patient in the next bed?"
"Could it be that our family only seems to be suitable for using more expensive herbs?"
"What are these things, Danshen, Angelica, and Yuanshen..."
Li Weimin didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicinal materials, but this didn't stop him from clearly realizing from what others said that generally anything with the word "ginseng" in its name was a precious medicinal material.
In his opinion, his mother had the same illness as the patient in the next bed, so why did they need different prescriptions?
Could it be that their family looks easier to deceive?
Li Weimin was very imposing and it looked like he had something on Chen Yin.
However, as the first doctor, Zhou Xuewen realized through the prescription written by Chen Yin where he had been unclear in his judgment.
Facing difficult family members, she helped explain:
"Although both of your beds are patients admitted with knee joint effusion."
"But clinically, it's very obvious that the patient has gout. This is mainly due to old age and long-term illness, which leads to the decline of Qi and Yang, which is unable to transport dampness, causing it to flow into the joints. In treatment, our clinic uses a prescription that replenishes Qi, warms Yang, and eliminates dampness."
"But your mother's knee injury was caused by an accidental fracture, which led to the swelling of both knees. They are warm to the touch, clearly related to a heat syndrome."
Zhou Xuewen's explanation was so clear and logical that Li Weimin was stunned.
He wanted to say something else, but his wife didn't give him a chance and whispered in his ear.
"Have you forgotten what we are here for? How will it benefit Mom if you offend the doctor like this?"
After these words were spoken, Li Weimin opened and closed his mouth, but could not utter a single word.
After struggling for a long time, I could only utter harsh words again without enough confidence.
"If my mother still shows no signs of improvement after taking the medicine this time, I won't care how famous your Huimin Hall and Doctor Chen are."
Chen Yin glanced at the other person, took the prescription, turned around and left the ward.
"Doctor Zhou, take the prescription to the pharmacy and ask for instructions on how to use the medicine. If you have any questions, we can talk about it when we get together tonight."
"Yes, Doctor Chen."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yin walked around the entire inpatient department, checking the condition of all hospitalized patients, confirming their recovery progress, and understanding the conditions of all patients.
There are currently patients admitted to all three floors, most of whom stay for no more than a week, and the admission and discharge situation is relatively normal.
After finishing the inspection, Chen Yin turned and walked downstairs. Suddenly, she remembered Qi Wenzhong who had been away for a while, and asked curiously:
"Mengxi, did Wen Zhong say when he would be back to work after the final exam?"
Liu Mengxi said without hesitation: "Probably to take the exam in the next two days, then go home to read through the medical records I brought back, and come back after taking graduation photos."
The tone of the answer was filled with sweetness, which made people feel a little sad and yearning.
Chen Yin felt happy thinking that the clinic would soon have another doctor.
"That's great. When he comes back, we'll arrange for him to officially start seeing patients and schedule shifts."
Having said that, Liu Mengxi no longer hesitated to express the idea that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Hey! Yinyin, on the day Qi Wenzhong graduates, I want to go see him and take some photos with him. Can you please ask for a leave for me?"
How could Chen Yin refuse such a good thing? At the same time, she was happy that the two of them no longer wanted to hide it.
"You tell me a time, and I'll help you with the shift."
"This weekend."
"Go with peace of mind." Chen Yin nodded.
"Yeah!" Liu Mengxi jumped up and down excitedly, already imagining taking a camera and recording the college graduation scene with her boyfriend.
Liu Mengxi was thinking about Qi Wenzhong at the clinic, and Qi Wenzhong was also thinking about her and the clinic at school.
The final exam is over. If it weren't for the graduation ceremony, Qi Wenzhong would have wanted to go back to the clinic right away. He didn't feel a sense of belonging to the school at all, especially when he saw people he hated.
Ever since Qin Shu knew that Qi Wenzhong's internship unit was Huimin Hall, he forced himself to suppress his jealousy towards Qi Wenzhong.
He really didn't understand. His family was a medical family, so why couldn't they compare to Qi Wenzhong, whose family only bought and sold Chinese medicinal herbs?
Now the other party is learning from Dr. Chen, who is becoming famous in the city. There is a high probability that he will be suppressed for the rest of his life.
Before meeting Qi Wenzhong, Qin Shu boasted that he had a good family background and didn't care about Qi Wenzhong, who changed his career late.
But when he saw Qi Wenzhong's ignorant face, he couldn't help but get angry.
Qin Shu raised his foot and walked directly towards Qi Wenzhong, with a fierce look on his face, looking like he was looking for trouble.
The lackey following behind him turned out to be a roommate in the dormitory.
Recently, it is the critical time to sign the employment contract. In order to successfully enter the Second Hospital, the two roommates looked at each other, with determination in their eyes.
In order to please Qin Shu, the grandfather who is the roommate of the vice president of the Second Hospital, one has to perform hard.
"Hey! Qi Wenzhong, which small clinic have you been hiding in for the past year? I haven't seen you in the entire Dongyu City."
If his tone wasn't so annoying, perhaps people around him would think he really cared about his classmates.
Qi Wenzhong is no longer the anxious and worried person he used to be. He glanced at the performance of his lackeys charging and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, another roommate was unhappy and immediately asked:
"Hey! We've lived together for four years after all, and you're just asking a question and you don't even answer. What's going on? Are you some upstart second-generation rich kid looking down on your classmates?"
If he continued to endure at this time, Qi Wenzhong felt like a turtle.
When I turned around, I immediately remembered the scene of asking my teacher to stamp my work before my internship.
Qi Wenzhong now has the strength and Huimin Hall as his backing, and is not afraid of any of Tan Shu's schemes.
"The relationship between us is worse than just a casual acquaintance. Anyone can tell whether or not we care about each other."
"As for which small clinic I went to, you can ask Qin Shu and he will know exactly."
After saying that, Qi Wenzhong gently pulled the corner of his mouth, slightly opened his eyelids, and quickly stood up and left.
No one expected that a confrontation that seemed to be building up to momentum would end so anticlimactically.
Especially since one of the parties involved is Tan Shu, a well-known figure in the entire College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The onlookers who were about to move slowed down their pace, wanting to see how Qi Wenzhong's offensive words would elicit a response from the arrogant Qin Shu.
The roommates looked at Qi Wenzhong in disbelief. He actually dared to challenge Qin Shu. Wasn't he afraid that Qin Shu would make things difficult for him in finding a job?
They waited for a long time, but didn't hear any response from Qin Shu, so they couldn't help but ask:
"Qin Shu, which small clinic did Qi Wenzhong intern at this year?"
"He dares to speak like that, brothers, go and show him some power!"
"Shut up!" Qin Shu roared, gritting his teeth.
The sudden rage caught the two off guard, and they looked at Qin Shu in surprise.
I don’t understand why the person who had been deliberately suppressing Qi Wenzhong before would choose to endure today?
Could it be that Qi Wenzhong really has some opportunity?
For a moment, the two roommates felt annoyed for their action of forcing themselves to step forward, and they didn't even have time to catch up with Qin Shu's embarrassed and hurried figure as he left.
On the other side, Qi Wenzhong left school and went home to study as soon as possible.
In his opinion, instead of continuing to be entangled with people like Qin Shu, it is better to continue studying and live up to Chen Yin's expectations.
Chen Yin has become his support, and he must also work hard to live up to this expectation.
After a while, Liu Mengxi called and told me the good news that he would be at the graduation ceremony.
The two young lovers chatted on the phone until it was time to go to work.
After Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi agreed on the leave, they observed the weekend rotation schedule and decided to give all the doctors in the clinic a day off.
It shouldn't be a problem for her to be alone for two days on the weekend, and it's a good time for everyone to rest.
See a doctor in the afternoon.
Chen Yin welcomed the patient who rushed from the hotel to get a number after hearing the news.
When she entered the room, she keenly observed the patient's strange face, with furrowed brows, red right eye, and tears in both eyes.
At the same time, he covered his head tightly with his hands and looked like he had an unbearable headache.
The family carefully placed their father on the seat and took out his medical records.
"Doctor Chen, we know you don't like to see Western medical records, but my father's illness has lasted for too long, nearly eight years now. We think the medical records should be clearer than our own description. Please take a look."
Chen Yin took the medical records. The thick stack surprised her and she subconsciously raised her eyebrows.
Turning to the first page, it clearly stated that the patient was suffering from mandibular ramus inflammation.
But two years later, problems also appeared in the upper jaw.
Last year, it spread to my eyes, so I followed the doctor's instructions and had all my teeth removed.
As a result, the oral cavity has shrunk to a certain extent, resulting in the strange facial appearance we have today.
The first onset of the disease happened too long ago, and the family members probably couldn't clearly describe the symptoms before the onset of the disease. Chen Yin could only ask about the patient's recent condition.
"I think the patient's condition is very serious. Have the attacks become frequent in recent years? What could be causing the attacks?"
"It's becoming more frequent, and the times are irregular, so we specifically came to Tongxi Town."
"My dad's illness is strange. It can happen if he gets cold, cries, laughs, or gets angry. Sometimes it happens if he talks loudly, eats, washes, or yawns."
When it comes to the cause of my father's illness, the family is helpless because some things are simply beyond human control.
According to the family's description, the patient seems to have an attack whenever he uses his mouth.
But compared with catching a cold, there is no connection between the two.
Chen Yin thought for a moment and continued asking.
"What about this outbreak? What exactly caused it?"
"A bit of a cold draft," the patient's daughter-in-law quickly replied. "Dad ignored our advice and insisted on attending his eldest grandson's graduation ceremony. The bathroom window was left open last night, and a bit of a cold draft blew in as soon as we walked in. He started having an attack before he even finished breakfast."
When talking about the specific reasons, the family members all looked helpless.
Who could have imagined that the cause of illness could be so unpredictable?
Moreover, this time, neither the alcohol blockade, acupuncture, nor medication used before had any effect.
It has been three days since the onset of the disease. If we don't get treatment soon, I think the old man will...
The whole family has worked hard to treat the old man for so many years, and their only wish is to save his life.
Occasionally, he heard from others that there was a miracle doctor in Dongyu Tongxi, so he immediately took his father to visit him.
Unfortunately, because Chen Yin had to go to Xishu on business, the family could only spend the whole day in the hotel with their old father.
As soon as I received the news that Chen Yin was opening a clinic today, I immediately took my father to seek medical treatment.
"How long has the patient been ill this time? How often?"
"For almost three days, the attacks lasted five minutes each time, and it took three or four hours to finish."
"How's your daily meal?"
"When I'm not sick, I can still eat some porridge or water. But when I'm sick, I have to go to the hospital for nutritional injections."
"How are your bowel movements?"
…
After asking about the family's condition, Chen Yin turned her attention to the patient whose condition had improved slightly.
"Grandpa, can you answer some questions now?"
Old Master Han nodded slightly in response.
Chen Yin immediately asked the question on her mind, "When you have an attack, where exactly does the pain occur? Besides the pain, are there any other unusual areas of your body?"
Old Man Han tried to open his mouth and let out a long sigh.
"Sometimes my cheek hurts, and this time it felt like a bug was biting the right side of my brain."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Han's children all showed distressed expressions.
They knew the old man had a headache, but they didn't know it was this kind of pain, otherwise they would definitely get more painkillers for the old man.
Old Master Han didn't care about the children's looks and continued to answer Chen Yin's questions.
"If there was anything wrong, it was that I felt like there was a heat crawling up from the soles of my feet, and my legs felt weak, and it penetrated into my bones. Then there was a splitting headache, which was very uncomfortable."
While listening, Chen Yin wrote down the patient's self-narration on paper.
After the consultation, she began to examine the patient's body.
Chen Yin put down the pen and paper in her hand and said to the family members:
"I'm going to examine and palpate the patient now. You family members, please move aside and make room."
"Oh, good, good!"
Mr. Han’s eldest son quickly asked his family to step back and leave space for his father and Chen Yin.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Yin lifted up the old man's trouser legs and checked the condition of his legs.
Although the patient is no longer in the most tense period of the disease, Chen Yin still feels an unusual warmth when she touches the soles of the patient's feet.
Then, his hands slowly moved from the soles of his feet to his knees. The icy cold knees formed a sharp contrast with the sudden flash of warmth in the soles of his feet.
Chen Yin took off her gloves, disinfected them again, and reminded:
"Please open your mouth."
"Ah∽" Old Man Han made a sound subconsciously.
"Just show your tongue."
Knowing that he had done something wrong, Mr. Han showed a hint of shyness on his face and quickly stuck out his tongue.
The tongue is dry and red, without tongue coating.
In addition, since she had just observed the patient's dry mouth and tongue, Chen Yin had already made a preliminary judgment on the cause of the patient's illness.
The results of the subsequent pulse diagnosis showed that the pulse was extremely strong, which further confirmed her judgment.
It is early spring now, and the Yang energy is rising. The patient is over 60 years old, his kidney energy is gradually declining, and the Yin cannot restrain the Yang.
The soles of the feet are the starting point of the kidney meridian. The fire of dragon and thunder cannot go down to the cave of the kidney, but attacks upward along the meridian, rushing upward without control①.
This resulted in the patient's current condition.
To treat it, one must nourish Yin and restrain Yang, guide the fire back to its origin, soften the liver and relieve urgency, and restrain thunder and fire①.
Immediately, Chen Yin prescribed a large dose of Fushan Yinhuo Decoction combined with Shaoyao Gancao Decoction①.
After formulating a treatment plan in her mind, she immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down the prescription on the paper.
"Here's the prescription. Take it to the examination table in the hall next door. A nurse will arrange for the pharmacy to prepare the medicine."
"This is the hospitalization form, give it to the other party."
The Han family didn't expect that Chen Yin had just been silent for a while, but she actually wrote out the prescription all at once.
I couldn't believe it at first, but when I thought about the description of Chen Yin from other people, my frozen heart began to beat.
"Hey hey hey! Doctor Chen, let's go arrange the hospitalization right away."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen!"
"Doctor Chen, let's go get the medicine first. You're busy, you're busy."
The family started to act incoherently and chaotically, their brains completely overwhelmed by the good news that their father was very likely to be cured.
Chen Yin just sat there, watching the family anxiously and carefully helping the patient leave.
As soon as the Han family left the clinic, the patients waiting outside immediately realized that Patient No. 1 who had just entered must have received good news from Dr. Chen. They couldn't help but feel excited and looked forward to their own consultation more and more.
Chen Yin was busy in the clinic all afternoon.
When she went out again, she had already heard the good news from Liu Mengxi about Mr. Han, whom she had just arranged to be admitted to the hospital.
"Yinyin, you don't know. The patient you just arranged to be hospitalized this afternoon, after taking one dose of medicine, the frequency of his attacks immediately decreased, and it's not that unbearable anymore."
"I was passing by when I was taking my own patient to the hospital, and I heard the family's surprised cheers in the corridor."
"That's good. I'll go on patrol again tomorrow morning."
Hearing that the patient was getting better, Chen Yin's mood also improved.
canteen.
Perhaps it was the conversation with Yang Yunxiang at noon that made her already beating heart unable to suppress the desire in her heart, and she took the initiative to come to her house while eating.
"Doctor Chen," Yang Yunxiang called out a little embarrassedly.
"What's up?"
Chen Yin saw the hesitation in Yang Yunxiang's eyes, waved her hand, and asked her to sit down next to her.
"There's something I want to tell you, but it's a little... can we talk in private?"
Yang Yunxiang's eyes dodged and she glanced at the people who were still eating in the cafeteria.
As soon as she said this, Liu Mengxi, who had finished his meal, stood up and left without hesitation, patted Chen Yin's shoulder, and left the space for the two of them.
"There's not many people here now, so go ahead and talk."
Yang Yunxiang took a deep breath and whispered clearly why he was there.
"Doctor Chen, actually, when I graduated from high school, I also wanted to go with my dad..."
Speaking of her father, Yang Yunxiang looked at Chen Yin with some shame.
After all, her father and uncle had tried to play tricks on Huimintang before. Although they made amends later, she was still embarrassed to mention her shameful father in front of Chen Yin.
"Actually, I wanted to study medicine, but my grades were a bit low, and my parents also said that nursing is better for girls."
When Chen Yin heard this, she vaguely understood Yang Yunxiang's intention.
As someone who was once not allowed to study medicine, she understood very well the hesitation in Yang Yunxiang's heart at the moment.
At such times, she generously gave encouragement.
"Children don't have to take what their parents say as the gospel. Who says it's bad for girls to study medicine? Look at our clinic. Doctor Liu, Doctor Zhou, and I all studied medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is more biased against women, is one of them. You can give yourself a little more confidence."
When Yang Yunxiang heard this, her cheeks flushed with excitement, as if she had found a soulmate.
She knew that Dr. Chen had guessed her purpose at this moment, but she still wanted to say it in person.
"During my time working at Huimintang, I've gradually become interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine. So... so I'd like to ask Dr. Chen, if I want to start learning Traditional Chinese Medicine, which books would be best to start with?"
"But...isn't it a little too late?"
After saying that, Yang Yunxiang buried her head in her chest like a quail, looking for a sense of security.
But she waited for a long time and didn't hear Chen Yin's voice, so she slowly raised her head in confusion.
He opened his eyes and met Chen Yin's smiling eyes.
At that moment, Yang Yunxiang felt as if something exploded in her brain. With a bang, her head was buzzing.
Even what Chen Yin said next seemed to her like something she had heard in a dream, so real that it was hard to believe.
“As long as you are willing to learn, it is never too late to start.”
"From your performance at noon, it's clear that you've begun to understand Chinese medicine on your own. This is a good thing, both for you and for the clinic."
"I'm currently teaching two students. They're progressing a little faster than you, but you can still learn from them."
"As a beginner, I will lend you the medical books from the clinic. If you have any questions, you can ask me, or anyone else."
Chen Yin looked at Yang Yunxiang, who was dazed and a little silly, and the smile on her face deepened.
She put their dishes on the washing area and said softly, "Follow me."
At this moment, Yang Yunxiang woke up as if from a dream and subconsciously followed Chen Yin's pace.
This time, she came to the sixth floor, which she had never visited before, and saw how large Dr. Chen's collection of books was. It took three whole walls to barely hold them all.
Chen Yin took out five books based on her memory and the teaching feedback she had given to Wu Qingluan and Wu Yuzhu.
"Nurse Yang, please read these five books for now. You are welcome to contact us anytime for further discussion."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen."
Yang Yunxiang took the medical book and held it tightly in his arms, as if it were a rare treasure.
Even when she returned home, she did the same thing, unwilling to move away at all, until she placed the medical book intact on the desk, and then she felt a little relieved.
Mother Yang looked at her daughter entering the house with a puzzled look on her face. She walked quickly towards her daughter's room and pushed the door open.
"What are you doing? Sneaking around."
"Nothing, I'm just doing something important."
"Business! Your business right now is to find someone to marry. Look at you now, you stay in the clinic all day. When will you have time to meet the person your aunt introduced you to?"
"He's a regular employee of the police station and is willing to meet with a small clinic employee like you, but you don't even know how to find an opportunity."
Mother Yang got angry whenever she thought about this. She couldn't understand why her daughter, whom she had always heard about, had become more and more rebellious after entering Huimin Hall.
Yang Yunxiang replied without thinking: "I'm busy! No see."
"No time? You're just a nurse, why are you working so hard? Go to the county town to see me this weekend."
"No, I have something important to do!"
"Overtime again? I'll go talk to Dr. Chen at your clinic right now. Even if you can't recruit anyone, you can't oppress your employees like this."
Yang's mother was already dissatisfied with her daughter's transfer from a regular job to a private clinic. Now she vented all her dissatisfaction and immediately prepared to find Chen Yin to talk to her.
"Mom, stop being unreasonable!"
Yang Yunxiang frowned, pursed his lips, and pulled his mother back.
Seeing her mother's stubbornness, she no longer concealed it.
"I'm currently studying medicine with Dr. Chen and the others, so I don't have time to get married and have children."
"What?" Yang's mother thought she had misheard at first.
"You want to study medicine? Why didn't you study medicine when you graduated from high school? Besides, your dad is a Western doctor. Why would you want to go to another doctor with him?"
"I wanted to study nursing, but you said my scores weren't good enough. But my scores were clearly good enough. I could have studied medicine in the first place, and now I want to pick it up again. What's wrong with me?"
This time, Yang Yunxiang directly expressed all the thoughts in her mind.
She doesn't care what other people think, she just wants to be her own boss.
After saying what he was thinking, he let go of her hand, turned around, walked into the door, and slammed it shut, leaving only Yang's mother standing there.
*
Huimin Hall.
The doctors in the clinic gathered on the sixth floor to discuss the cases they had encountered recently. The knee joint effusion that occurred at noon today was the top priority.
Mr. Han's disease is considered a difficult and complicated one, and it is also a condition that Liu Mengxi and others are paying close attention to.
Chen Yin explained the diagnostic process and context of the two cases to everyone in a clear and detailed manner, making sure that everyone could understand.
As a result, the entire evening was basically consumed by these two cases.
The next day, Liu Mengxi and Liu Xianliang took a bus and left the clinic.
Only Chen Yin and Zhou Xuewen were left in the clinic.
Zhou Xuewen asked for a day off and stayed on the sixth floor to rest.
Chen Yin is on duty. In the morning, she will first check on all the hospitalized patients, and then sit in the office so that if any emergency patient comes to the door, they can be treated in time.
During the long wait, Chen Yin saw two unexpected figures.
"Why did you two suddenly come to town? Isn't the village busy with planting tasks?"
Wu Wenbo puffed out his chest and replied proudly:
"Of course I'm busy! Now every household in the village is growing medicinal herbs. If it weren't for the lack of time, I guess every household would open up their mountain land just to grow medicinal herbs and make money."
Wu Yushu stood aside and added, explaining the reason for the two people's appearance.
"The county is short of technicians for growing medicinal herbs, so they've recruited the two of us to go to other towns and villages to help."
