Chapter 45: The Trouble
Yang Guohua really didn't expect that Chen Yin, at such a young age, not only had excellent medical skills, but also had a good character and often went to the countryside to provide free medical treatment.
Chen Yin thought Yang Guohua wanted to discuss the difficult and complicated diseases encountered during the free clinic, so she started to talk about them.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong also added a few words from time to time, and it was obvious that they were also involved.
The more Yang Guohua listened, the more shocked he became, especially when he heard that Chen Yin made good use of Mr. Li's special heart-saving soup, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Not to mention him, there are not many people in the entire city's traditional Chinese medicine hospital who can encounter so many difficult and complicated diseases so quickly.
Due to changes that occurred more than 20 years ago, ordinary people's trust in traditional Chinese medicine has declined.
In recent years, newspapers have been promoting the "theory of the uselessness of traditional Chinese medicine." We are attacked from all sides and it is difficult to disobey.
Therefore, most of the patients who come to their Chinese medicine hospital are those with chronic diseases or those who want to recuperate.
I have no idea how to treat other types of patients and can only slowly get used to this situation.
But now, Yang Guohua saw other solutions in Chen Yin.
The only difficulty is that it is expensive and I don’t know whether the hospital will agree.
As I was thinking, time gradually approached for the agreed study exchange meeting.
Liu Mengxi glanced at his hand and reminded, "Yinyin, it's almost time. It wouldn't be good if we were late."
Hearing this, everyone looked towards their hands.
Yang Guohua and Sun Siwei, who had just arrived, were somewhat confused. Sun Siwei asked doubtfully:
"Doctor Chen, is there anything else I can do for you later?"
"Someone just said that since everyone is here today, the bureau wants to hold a learning exchange meeting for the younger generation. I've already agreed to it."
"That's probably because the teacher and I arrived late and didn't hear about it. If I hadn't run into you, I would have missed it. Let's go together."
"Okay, let's go."
Then, Chen Yin and Yang Guohua walked in front and continued to chat about the topic they had not finished just now.
Sun Siwei and Liu Mengxi were walking behind him. He asked curiously, "What's the name of the person who invited you to the meeting?"
Liu Mengxi shook his head and said, "I don't think I asked."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Siwei felt something was wrong and felt that there was a trap waiting for them.
This keen intuition reached its peak when he followed Chen Yin and the other person into the conference room.
Because Dr. Wei and Dr. Zhao opposite them were smiling at them.
Zhao Chunsheng and Wei Zhiyuan looked at Yang Guohua and Chen Yin beside him with a smile. As for the other minions, they were completely ignored by the two.
The two of them quickly stepped forward, smiling as if nothing had happened, and greeted warmly.
"Director Yang, you're finally here. This is our new officer, Doctor Chen, right?"
Yang Guohua was a little confused as to why these two people greeted him, but since he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him, he responded with a smile.
"Director Zhao, Director Wei, it's been a while since we last met. You two are still as charming as ever."
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Chunsheng and Wei Zhiyuan laughed happily when they heard it.
Then, Yang Guohua, acting as a middleman, introduced the two parties to each other.
"These two are Director Zhao and Director Wei from the People's Hospital, and this is Doctor Chen Yin."
The moment they heard Yang Guohua's voice, Zhao Chunsheng and Wei Zhiyuan almost couldn't maintain the smiles on their faces.
The two looked at Yang Guohua in disbelief. How dare he introduce himself first? Then introduce Chen Yin.
Does it mean that in Yang Guohua's heart, Chen Yin's status is higher than both of them?
A young girl who is just starting out dares to act like this. It is really disrespectful to the elders!
If Yang Guohua knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely nod in agreement.
After all, Director Fu’s sister had a chronic illness - headache. The Health Bureau had sent countless people to treat her, but no one had a solution.
But now, the other party has been cured, and the doctor who cured him is Chen Yin in front of him.
There is nothing wrong with the order of his introduction.
The atmosphere around them was stagnant, and Chen Yin had to speak up to break it and be the first to say hello.
"Hello, Director Zhao and Director Wei. I'm Chen Yin."
Wei Zhiyuan might be better at cultivating his qi, and he responded quickly after hearing Chen Yin's voice.
"Hello, hello! Doctor Chen is truly a young talent. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that a young woman would appear in our Health Bureau, a place where middle-aged and elderly people gather."
"Hahahaha! Awesome, awesome!"
After saying that, Wei Zhiyuan gave Chen Yin a thumbs up, but there was no genuine smile in his eyes.
If Chen Yin still doesn't realize that the visitor has bad intentions, then her life will be in vain.
Then, she said calmly, "You're too kind."
Just at this moment, someone pushed the door open. Wei Zhiyuan and the other person quickly took the opportunity to leave and chatted and laughed with others.
Yang Guohua immediately spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, some people are just like that. Director Fu and I are both well aware of your medical skills, and you don't come to the city often, so you don't need to meet those guys often."
"I know that people like you, Director Yang, who recognize and appreciate talent, are a minority."
Chen Yin had anticipated this situation and her mood was not greatly affected.
After all, compared with the current situation in my previous life, part-time job is nothing.
Yang Guohua didn't expect that his comfort could actually win Chen Yin's praise. He immediately smiled and took Chen Yin to the familiar crowd, ready to take Chen Yin to get to know the backbone of their current Dongyu Traditional Chinese Medicine community.
As for Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong, who were brought by Chen Yin, they were taken care of by Sun Siwei.
After a while, the agreed time arrived.
As the organizer of this event, Zhao Chunsheng immediately stood in the crowd, raised his hands high, and pressed down continuously.
"Okay, okay! If you have anything to say, feel free to share it at the exchange meeting later. Now, let me, an old fellow, talk about the format of the exchange meeting."
When Zhao Chunsheng heard his self-deprecating words, laughter immediately broke out in the meeting hall.
Zhao Chunsheng was very familiar and comfortable with this kind of scene. He had a smile on his face and waited until the voices gradually faded away before he spoke again.
"As usual, everyone can share their recent challenges. Who knows, some of the young people here might have active minds and come up with new ideas to solve these problems. This will help us pool our wisdom and benefit patients."
"Come on! Which doctor would like to be the first to come forward and speak?"
Although the conference is an exchange meeting for the younger generation, it is easy to imagine that these young people have only been out of school for a few years.
It is very rare for someone to encounter difficult and complicated diseases on their own, and even rarer for one to be able to cure them well.
So, perhaps most of the medical problems they encounter are when they are studying with their teachers.
I brought up the difficult problems that even the teacher couldn't solve, just to see if there were any new ideas.
But if you want to make things difficult for someone, that’s another matter.
Song Chengzhang, standing in the crowd, looked around and found that no one stood up. He immediately stepped forward and raised the problem he had encountered recently.
"Since everyone is so modest, let me throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion."
What everyone saw was Old Man Song’s grandson, and they all looked at him curiously, wondering what kind of problem could have stumped him.
Song Chengzhang continued walking forward until he stood in the middle of the crowd, then he slowly spoke.
"Recently, our Jishitang received a patient who was discharged from the hospital in critical condition. The hospital diagnosed him with tuberculous peritonitis and acute cholecystitis."
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Chunsheng, Wei Zhiyuan and other doctors from the People's Hospital immediately remembered who the patient was.
Because the patient was discharged from their hospital.
Although emergency surgery was performed at that time, the postoperative effect was very poor and ascites appeared, so he was sent to their Traditional Chinese Medicine Department for a solution.
It’s a pity that they were helpless and issued a critical illness notice to the patient’s family.
The family members knew that the hospital had no other options and could only take the patient away.
Unexpectedly, this family went to Jishidiang as soon as they left the hospital.
At this moment, the two of them were very eager to know if Mr. Song had any special tricks. It would be great if they could learn a little from him.
Song Chengzhang's eyes quickly swept across the crowd, and after realizing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he immediately threw out the difficult question.
"The patient was first treated at a previous hospital, where he developed ascites. He took large amounts of heat-clearing, detoxifying, and diuretic herbal remedies, but the symptoms were still not resolved. When he was brought to our clinic, his face was pale and he was drowsy... He was clearly experiencing weakness in his limbs and signs of yang deficiency."
"hiss--"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
In the eyes of the public, it is obvious that such patients no longer need to be treated, and admitting them to the hospital will affect the hospital's reputation.
Although Song Chengzhang did not explicitly state the specific information of the previous hospital, everyone knew which hospital could perform such a large-scale operation after careful consideration.
If they were in their place, they would also advise the patient to go home and spend their final moments with their family.
But everyone thought that since Jishidiang admitted the patient, there must be a solution.
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of Mr. Song, hoping to get the answer from him.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Song pursed his lips and said nothing, which disappointed those who were expecting him.
Then they could only place their hopes on Song Chengzhang.
"Doctor Song, since the patient is already in critical condition, I wonder how your Jishitang will proceed with the next step of treatment?"
"Isn't today's exchange meeting about discussing unresolved problems? So, I haven't thought of any solutions yet."
Speaking of this, Song Chengzhang felt bad. The patient was sent here too late and was old, so he didn't dare to give him a large dose of medicine.
If they are not careful, the reputation of Jishiditang will be ruined.
When everyone heard that Jishidiang had no solution, they all started to think.
Some people believe that if they can solve this difficult problem, they will become famous in the traditional Chinese medicine community in Dongyu, and they try to make a breakthrough from a small point.
"Doctor Song, since the patient's tongue is red like a persimmon, with no coating and dry, cracked, it clearly indicates Yin deficiency. Furthermore, the patient is already experiencing Yang deficiency. This means the patient has both Yin and Yang deficiency. When prescribing, in addition to Sini Tang, which can restore Yang and remedy the adverse condition, you should also include herbs that tonify the middle and replenish Qi, to provide the right remedy for the condition."
Before Song Chengzhang could answer, someone immediately refuted the proposal from above.
"In my opinion, after the treatment at the previous hospital, the patient's exterior cold has not yet been resolved, and the bitter cold inside cannot be expelled, causing ice to form in the triple burner. The most important thing now is to restore yang and dispel the cold. We should use Sini Tang combined with Yinchen Wuling to warm the yang and eliminate turbidity."
"No, no. We should first..."
For a moment, the conference room was in an uproar and noisy, completely different from its usual state.
When Zhao Chunsheng and Wei Zhiyuan saw the situation, they both put their minds at ease.
Since so many people have not come up with a good solution, their "negligence" will naturally not be criticized.
Zhao Chunsheng scanned the noisy crowd several times and finally found Chen Yin, who was silent, in the crowd.
At this time, he had not forgotten his purpose. He curled the corners of his mouth and paid attention immediately.
"Everyone, listen to me."
…
"Listen to me—"
Just when Zhao Chunsheng was about to shout his throat split, the restless crowd finally quieted down.
Everyone had already guessed that the person who had aggravated the bitter cold symptoms in the patient's body was Zhao Chunsheng and his companions. Now that they saw that he wanted to speak, they thought he had something to say and stopped talking.
"Could it be that Dr. Zhao has some good ideas? We're all ears."
As soon as these words were spoken, a sinister look flashed across Zhao Chunsheng's eyes, which would not be noticed unless you looked carefully.
He still had a kind smile on his face and said in a gentle tone:
"Didn't I just say that? Our exchange meeting is mainly for young people to show their talents. How can I, an old man in my fifties, dare to take the stage?"
"Since Dr. Song has set such a precedent, the rest of us young people naturally cannot turn a blind eye."
"It just so happens that there's a young person here in our office—Chen Yin, Doctor Chen. How about asking her to share her thoughts with us?"
"Come, Doctor Chen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chunsheng pointed in the direction of Chen Yin.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Yin.
Many people knew that there was a new person in the Health Bureau, but no one had ever seen his true face.
I just saw Yang Guohua leading a young girl and thought she was his junior.
Unexpectedly, the little girl turned out to be a newcomer to the Health Bureau, and a newcomer with special treatment.
Yang Guohua felt the gazes of the crowd and kept cursing Zhao Chunsheng in his heart for being so cruel.
He didn't need to see, he knew that guy was looking for trouble with Chen Yin and wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
However, Yang Guohua, who already knew that Chen Yinza had experienced many critical illness emergency treatments during the free clinic, was not too worried at this time. He responded to everyone's probing looks with a smile.
Chen Yin naturally knew Zhao Chunsheng's purpose. She stood up from her chair without changing her expression and greeted everyone's curious gazes.
"Since Director Zhao mentioned me, I'll show off my ugliness."
Then, Chen Yin turned her gaze to Song Chengzhang, who had raised the difficult question, and said:
"Excuse me, Doctor Song, could you please repeat the diagnosis record when the patient was brought to the clinic?"
"Can."
Song Chengzhang glanced in his grandfather's direction and gave a positive answer.
"The patient's abdomen was distended... his tongue was cracked and his pulse was rapid and thready."
Chen Yin nodded as she listened. Since she was not the one who was seeing the patient in person, she could only find the answer from the words.
When Song Chengzhang finished speaking, he immediately picked up the tea beside him and drank a full cup, which relieved his thirst.
Others were also thinking about it, but more people wanted to see what answer Chen Yin could give.
Just when Zhao Chunsheng was about to speak up to urge her, Chen Yin spoke first.
"In fact, from what Doctor Song said, we can tell that the patient's most critical condition is kidney qi deficiency, with cold and yin condensed in the internal organs. He urgently needs to boost yang and relieve the symptoms, restore yang and break up yin. However, the patient's tongue is dry and has no coating, which is still a sign of yin deficiency."
"Dr. Song called it a difficult problem. It must be that the tongue diagnosis caused a great deal of interference in the entire course of treatment."
"In my opinion, since the patient's condition is critical, it's better to abandon tongue diagnosis and follow the symptoms directly. Use a dose of Ma Fu Xi Xin Tang. Ma Huang dispels cold and induces sweating, while Fu Zi restores Yang and rescues the patient... Combined with Zhen Wu Tang to warm Yang and eliminate turbidity, add ginseng and cinnamon oil to the medicine."
As everyone watched Chen Yin talking freely, they couldn't help but feel a sense of trust in her.
As she talked more and more deeply, people couldn't help but wonder whether the prescription she prescribed was appropriate.
In the end, everyone had to admit that Chen Yin's prescription was better than their own, and it completely defeated those who had ulterior motives before.
Even Mr. Song subconsciously repeated the prescription over and over again, trying to give the patient the medicine in his mind.
After a while, he sat stiffly in his seat, without moving.
Zhao Chunsheng looked at Chen Yin's confident look and felt secretly resentful in his heart.
He glanced at the positions of the Song family's grandfather and grandson, and found that neither of them showed any reaction. He instantly made a judgment on Chen Yin in his mind.
Then, he raised his head high and said condescendingly:
"Doctor Chen, it's good for young people to have ideas! But they can't be so unrealistic that they lose sight of the main point. Since Doctor Song has stated all the diagnosis results, it proves that the patient's symptoms must be effective. How can you just throw them away!"
"In my opinion, young people like you should spend more time and learn more from your predecessors. Don't look down on your predecessors just because you have learned a little."
"Our Health Bureau is staffed by renowned Chinese medicine practitioners from all over the city. As long as you visit them more often and seek their advice, I believe your medical skills will improve rapidly. Young people, don't be too arrogant and look down on ordinary people..."
Zhao Chunsheng was just about to ask Chen Yin to come to the hospital to study under him and clearly explain the difference in status between them.
When I looked up, I saw Song Laomai moving his legs, his face as cold as ice, and moving quickly towards Chen Yin.
Zhao Chunsheng's eyes lit up instantly, thinking that Mr. Song was going to teach Chen Yin, a young man who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, a lesson. He immediately stopped talking, prepared to go forward to watch the fun, and tried to stop him.
"Hey hey hey! Mr. Song, we should be more tolerant towards young people. Don't worry, I will teach them well in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Lao's face, which had just been cold, suddenly burst into a light and praised:
"Doctor Chen, you are so young."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
You have to know that in the field of Dongyu Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mr. Song is one of the best masters in the field, and no one has ever heard him praise others.
Chen Yin in front of him had obviously become the first person.
Everyone couldn't help but think back to the answer Chen Yin had just given, and they cursed in their hearts, wondering why they didn't think of giving up their words and testifying?
The most dumbfounded one among them was Zhao Chunsheng. Before he could say anything, he was immediately slapped in the face by Old Song.
He didn't expect that the answer Chen Yin gave was actually feasible. He stood there in a daze without any reaction.
He clearly felt all kinds of teasing eyes wandering over his body, and he wanted to escape, but his feet seemed to be stuck with glue and he couldn't pull them away at all.
He could only watch helplessly as the gazes from other people in the industry tortured him.
There was even a moment when Zhao Chunsheng desperately hoped that Mr. Song would give him a quick death.
Little did he know that Mr. Song had no room for a clown like him.
At this time, Mr. Song's eyes were fixed on Chen Yin, and his eyes were full of satisfaction and praise.
"Doctor Chen, how did you come up with the idea of shedding your tongue and following the evidence?"
Facing Mr. Song's questions, Chen Yin remained calm and expressed her thoughts in a gentle voice.
"In traditional Chinese medicine, diagnosis is based on observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, a combination of the four diagnostic methods. Tongue diagnosis serves as one of the four diagnostic methods, and it has only become more complete after the prevalence of the Warm Disease School in the past few hundred years. Therefore, during a consultation, it is sometimes necessary to choose and discard potentially interfering appearances."
"Good!" Old Song shouted excitedly.
He didn't expect to see such an outstanding young person like Chen Yin appear before an ordinary meeting.
In fact, when he was analyzing the patient's condition, he also found some contradictions.
But perhaps he was too old and did not have Chen Yin's courage to think and act. Once he hesitated, the patient had lost the best opportunity for treatment.
When his grandson chose to bring out this case, Mr. Song did not hold any hope.
Unexpectedly, I really found this treasure, Chen Yin.
"Young people these days are truly remarkable. When I was your age, I definitely didn't have the strength and courage you have."
Such high evaluation once again elevated Chen Yin's status in everyone's hearts.
For a moment, his eyes looking at Chen Yin were full of eagerness.
As for Zhao Chunsheng, who dared to belittle Chen Yin in front of Mr. Song, he had long been squeezed out of the crowd by the crowd, and no one paid any attention to his comings and goings.
In this situation, Chen Yin smiled slightly, and there was not much fluctuation in her eyes.
"Mr. Song, you are too kind."
"Young man, sometimes there's no need to be so humble. Everyone can see your strength."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone followed Song Lao's words and echoed them.
"Yes, yes! Doctor Chen, your medical skills are so outstanding, no wonder you were able to join the Health Bureau."
"With the addition of Dr. Chen, our Health Bureau will surely make Dongyu famous in the southwest, so that people from other provinces and cities will not dare to underestimate us."
"Doctor Chen is truly the jewel of our Dongyu. Having you here is an honor to all of us."
…
The more the group praised, the more outrageous their words became, and the more confused they became, leaving Liu Mengxi and others who wanted to squeeze in to watch the fun dumbfounded.
She looked at the two people behind her with dull eyes and asked doubtfully:
"Isn't it said that people who have made great achievements in their profession are more quiet? Why do I feel like these famous Chinese medicine practitioners in their 50s and 60s talk more than I do?"
"hehe."
Sun Siwei was speechless about this and couldn't believe that the person standing next to Chen Yin was his teacher.
If someone else saw this, they might think that the person being praised was the teacher himself.
Because Yang Guohua was laughing so hard that his eyes were invisible, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears. He nodded repeatedly when he heard everyone's praise. Looking at him, people couldn't help but worry that his head would fall off his neck at any time.
Qi Wenzhong felt even more eye-opening, especially when looking at Director Zhang in front of him. Compared with his appearance last night, it was like seeing a brand new person.
The three young men tried again and again to get close to Chen Yin, but to no avail.
In the end they had to admit that they could not rob anyone who was twice their age.
Just like that, they watched Chen Yin being surrounded and people kept asking her questions.
It was not until late at night that the group of people reluctantly let Chen Yin go, thinking about the important work they had to do the next day.
On the way back to the room, Liu Mengxi was still in high spirits because of what had just happened. She smiled and said as she walked:
"Yinyin, if the teachers at school saw you like this, they would be shocked."
"If Qian Jin dares to cause trouble for you again, he will definitely be severely punished by the people of Dongyu."
As he spoke, Liu Mengxi threw a right hook, as if it was really hitting Qian Jin.
"Aren't you sleepy yet? You still have important things to do tomorrow morning." Chen Yin looked at her friend with admiration, not understanding where her energy came from.
"Hehe! When I think of you, I feel full of energy."
Having said that, Liu Mengxi lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, the staff in charge of the meeting knocked on Chen Yin's door, but received no response.
