Chapter 66 Measles...
It makes people unable to help but keep their eyes on the other person. Chen Yin concentrated and stared.
Li Chunli, who was standing next to him, had already recognized the other person's identity. Unable to suppress the grief in her heart, she ran directly towards the young man in the corner.
"Xiangnan! Xiangnan! Where's Zhenzhen?"
Xiangnan had already been exhausted by recent events and had lost his sense of what was happening in the outside world.
So Xiangnan, who was immersed in his own world, didn't hear his mother's call at all.
Li Chunli looked at her son's appearance and became more and more out of control. She grabbed her son's shoulders tightly and shook him hard.
"It's Mom! Xiangnan, Mom is here——"
After shouting the last word, Li Chunli rushed directly towards her son, hugged him tightly, and gave him strength.
The voice was so mournful and loud that it caused waves of echoes.
According to common sense, this volume would attract passers-by to stop and stop.
But this is the PICU, a place where you see the elders sending off the younger ones almost every day.
In an area soaked in sadness, a little crying cannot arouse the already exhausted emotions of others.
But for Chen Yin, the scene before her couldn't help but move her. However, the most important thing at the moment was to check on the patient's condition, so she had to go forward and disturb the two of them.
As she moved forward, Xiangnan's thoughts gradually drifted back from afar.
Because he felt the familiar warm embrace, as if his mother was always by his side.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised his eyes. When he saw his mother's face, he thought he was dreaming.
Xiangnan gave a bitter smile, "Mom, why did you come to my dream too? Are you here to see Zhenzhen?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mom is here——"
At this moment, Li Chunli slowly distanced herself, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and comforted him softly.
The familiar voice sounded again, and Xiangnan finally believed that what he saw was real.
He tried hard to stand up and support his mother, but found that his legs were too weak and slid weakly on the cold floor of the hospital.
A bitter smile froze on Xiangnan's face, mixed with the aura of decay around him. He looked like a person who was only relying on his will to stay alive.
If the thoughts that supported him disappeared, he would probably fall seriously ill.
Li Chunli looked at her son with great heartache. Just like when he was a child, she gently stroked his head and soothed him softly.
"Mom is here, you don't have to be afraid."
At this moment, Xiangnan, the pillar of the family, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"Mom, wuwuwuwu——"
"Zhenzhen, she's still so young, lying on the hospital bed with tubes all over her body. I really don't know how Zhenzhen...she..."
Xiangnan really couldn't say it. He didn't dare to say that word for fear that God would hear it.
When Li Chunli heard the word Zhenzhen, she finally remembered the purpose of her coming to Guangzhou.
She roughly wiped the tears from her son's face with her sleeve, then patted his bent back hard with her hand and said in a loud voice:
"Mom knew Zhenzhen was in the hospital, so she brought Yinyin here specially."
"Yinyin? Doctor Chen's daughter."
Xiangnan was familiar with this name. After all, ever since Yin Yin returned to town and opened a clinic, he always heard this name every time he talked to his mother on the phone.
But he didn't expect that when his mother came to see Zhenzhen, she actually brought the other person with her.
He insisted on waiting in the hospital, just wanting his mother to see Zhenzhen for the last time and let the whole family accept this cruel fact.
Even though Chen Yin is an omnipotent doctor in her mother's words, Xiangnan trusts the judgment of doctors in large hospitals more.
"Yinyin, thank you for coming with my mom. Zhenzhen won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Xiangnan turned his head and looked at his mother, "Mom, you came at the right time. It's almost time for concentrated patient visits in the PICU. Let's get ready, and you can go in to see Zhenzhen later. After that..."
It was obvious that Xiangnan planned to let his mother see his daughter and then take her back.
Now in the PICU, my daughter relies on various machines to maintain her life. This kind of life is like an illusory bubble that will burst at the slightest touch.
Even if he was unwilling to accept it, he couldn't bear to see his daughter live in pain.
"No!" Li Chunli's excited voice rang out, "Xiangnan, don't underestimate Yinyin because she's young. She's treated countless important figures."
"Just let Yinyin try, try——"
"Mom, I really don't want to see Zhenzhen suffer so much in her final moments. Let's make her last moments a little happier, okay?"
For a moment, Li Chunli met her son's eyes and subconsciously wanted to nod.
But she quickly regained her composure and firmly shook her head in disagreement.
"No, Zhenzhen must let Yinyin try. Yinyin is a doctor from our Dongyu Health Bureau. She has excellent medical skills and can definitely cure Zhenzhen."
In order to give Chen Yin a chance to take action, Li Chunli now speaks without thinking and has completely forgotten that she originally just wanted Chen Yin to give it a try.
"Mom——" Xiang Nan frowned, his expression was cold and hard, and he wanted to speak out to stop her.
But when he met his mother's determined eyes, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Just when the atmosphere at the scene became stagnant, Chen Yin stood up.
"Brother Xiangnan, I know you want Zhenzhen to have one last happy moment. I can't guarantee that I can really save Zhenzhen, but I want to try. Please give me a chance, and give Zhenzhen a chance too."
The sincere words forced Xiangnan to fall into deep thought. He glanced at Chen Yin's calm eyes, then looked at his mother's stubborn face and sighed.
"Okay! Let's try it one last time."
"Okay, okay! Xiangnan, please take us to see Zhenzhen as soon as possible and start treating her now."
Li Chunli eagerly pulled her son forward, completely forgetting that she was not familiar with the layout of the hospital.
Xiangnan held onto his mother's excited figure with one hand, "Mom, it's not time for visiting yet. Let's wait a while."
"No! Human lives are at stake, how can we wait!"
"Hurry! If it doesn't work, let's transfer Zhenzhen to another ward and take a look at her first."
"Don't you want Zhenzhen to be able to return to her former self?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Nan's heart, which had been shaken, broke again. There was probably no one in the world who wanted his daughter to wake up more than him, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Xiangnan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go find Zhenzhen's attending physician."
Of course, he did not ask for a ward when he spoke, but hoped that the hospital could let the three of them go to the PICU ward together, where Chen Yin could see his daughter.
But the doctor would never agree to such a ridiculous idea and immediately shook his head to reject it.
"No! Our clinic's strict rules and regulations stipulate that only one relative is allowed to visit wards like the PICU for a short period of time each day. Do you know how many bacteria and viruses are on a person's body? The patients in the PICU are all critically ill. If anything goes wrong, who will be responsible?"
Wang Yue sternly rejected Xiangnan's proposal, his cold eyes sweeping across at the three people opposite him. He immediately noticed Chen Yin's uniqueness, because she was carrying a backpack similar to one used for off-roading, which looked quite packed. She didn't look like someone visiting a patient at all.
The rejection of the first proposal did not stop Li Chunli's eagerness.
"Since we can't go to the special ward, can we transfer the child to the ordinary ward?"
"If you want to take your child home, I can write you a discharge consent form now. Once you leave the hospital, you can do whatever you want."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and made a better suggestion.
"No!" Li Chunli opposed the idea without thinking.
She felt that with the hospital's equipment, she could buy more time for Chen Yin's consultation.
If they leave the hospital, all the equipment will be taken back. What if Zhenzhen can't wait to go home?
At this time, Xiangnan had already understood the doctor's subtext.
That is, no matter what they think, they cannot cause trouble for the hospital.
Anyway, the hospital had issued them a critical illness notice the day before. If they stayed in the hospital, they would only use equipment to maintain their daughter's life. One day, they would have to take their daughter home.
But before that, they wanted to borrow some equipment from the hospital.
After careful consideration, Xiangnan directly stated their purpose.
"Doctor Wang, I understand what you mean. Actually, my mother wants to borrow the hospital ward so that the doctor she brought from home can examine my daughter. Regardless of whether she can be saved or not, we will take our daughter home."
"doctor?"
Wang Yue's sight instantly locked onto Chen Yin, because she was the only one of the three people in front of him who met the requirements.
But seeing Chen Yin's childish face, he couldn't help but sneer, "Xiang Zhenzhen's family, are you making fun of our hospital?"
Li Chunli was immediately unhappy and retorted:
"Don't underestimate our Yinyin's young age. She is a famous doctor in Dongyu and has cured various difficult and complicated diseases. I invited her here today because I want her to cure my granddaughter."
"Doctor," these two words instantly caught Wang Yue's attention.
If he heard correctly, Xiangnan had just mentioned these two words.
In today's reality of Western cultural impact, almost only an old scholar still insists on this ancient name.
In Wang Yue's view, traditional medicine is essentially a form of psychological comfort for people, and the speed and means of treating patients' illnesses cannot be compared with Western medicine.
He is a firm believer in the theory that traditional Chinese medicine is useless.
Therefore, Wang Yue showed obvious contempt on his cold face and pretended to be persuading with good intentions.
"I see you're still young, comrade. It's not a good thing for you to go astray at such a young age."
"After a comprehensive consultation with doctors across our hospital, we've confirmed that Xiang Zhenzhen has measles without rash. She was already in a critical condition when she was diagnosed. This condition is a globally recognized problem with an extremely high mortality rate. How dare you, a little girl, ask me to take a look?"
At this moment, in addition to his contempt for traditional Chinese medicine, Wang Yue was also angry at the patient's family for asking another hospital for treatment.
Who doesn’t know that their Yangcheng People’s Hospital is the best hospital in the entire Lingnan region?
Now a young Chinese medicine doctor from a small place actually dares to come to my door. It’s really outrageous!
Wang Yue snorted harshly, and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Since your hospital has no better treatment options, why not take a look?"
Chen Yin spoke up to stop the man and held the strap of the medicine box tightly in her hand.
Hearing the voice, Wang Yue turned his head suddenly. He couldn't believe that there was really such a young man who was not afraid of the tiger and actually "challenged" him in person.
He was about to sneer when a steady voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"The patient's family has their own ideas. As a hospital, why can't we agree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people in white coats blocked the office door, and the one who spoke was Wen Su, who was standing in the front.
In his opinion, patients like Xiang Zhenzhen should have been discharged long ago and accepted their own results. There was no point in them occupying hospital rooms.
Just now, they were standing outside the door and had already heard the family's purpose clearly.
Isn't it just that you want the doctor you brought from your hometown to take a look, and once they get the same answer as the hospital, and give up, the patient can be discharged?
But before that, the other party still has some documents to supplement.
"Young doctor, if something goes wrong while practicing medicine in a different place, you must be mentally prepared. Also, if you want to see a patient in our hospital, you must sign a letter of responsibility. It states that this is a mutual agreement between you and your partner, and has nothing to do with our hospital. If anything goes wrong, we cannot be implicated in any way."
"Can!"
Xiangnan recognized that the other person was the deputy chief physician who treated his daughter, and he made up his mind and nodded heavily.
Li Chunli also nodded in agreement. In her opinion, if the hospital couldn't cure it, then let Yinyin give it a try. No matter what the result was, her family wouldn't have any opinions.
Soon, a letter of responsibility was printed out, and Xiang Nan and Li Chunli wrote their names on it.
Wang Yue glanced at Director Wen and quickly gave instructions to the resident physician.
"Go and transport patient Xiang Zhenzhen out of the PICU and send her to the pediatric infectious disease ward on the fifth floor."
"Yes! Doctor Wang."
After a while, the news that a patient's family member brought an outside doctor to "challenge" the hospital spread quickly in the hospital, and everyone was talking about it.
"Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear that? There's a 'challenger' coming to the pediatric department?"
"Who is it? Who doesn't know that our hospital is the best in the entire Lingnan region? It's even ranked among the best in the country. How dare you come and cause trouble? Didn't the pediatric department give you a taste of your own medicine?"
"That's right. I don't know what Director Wen was thinking. He actually agreed to the other party's proposal to have the patient see patients in the pediatric ward. Now a lot of people are going to the pediatric ward to see the excitement."
"Now that's going to be fun, it's a pity I can't go and see it."
…
These are what people from other departments are discussing, ready to watch the fun.
But for people in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, they are not just there to watch the fun, they are also a small part of the fun.
Because Chen Yin's identity as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner has been gradually revealed, many people have come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department to ask if they have any special medicines for treating measles.
What effective medicine is there for a patient with severe measles?
Even Chinese medicine is based on science.
Although the people from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine did not join Xiang Zhenzhen's consultation, there was probably nothing they could do if they were asked to treat a severe measles patient.
After getting the answer from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the inquiring party immediately spread the news within the hospital.
For a moment, in everyone's eyes, Chen Yin became a jumping clown, and many people were ready to take time out from the boring and depressing atmosphere to watch the fun.
Chen Yin did not stop the crowd, she was examining Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen had just left the PICU and was no longer supported by the machines. Her eyes were closed, her breathing was rapid, her body curled up on the bed, and she was twitching uncontrollably.
Chen Yin's hands were stroking Zhenzhen's forehead, chest and abdomen, and they were hot.
But when she touched her lower body, the part below the knees was extremely cold.
Such a huge temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of a person's body clearly indicates that the person is in danger.
Chen Yin glanced at the urine bag and feces bag under Zhenzhen. It was obvious that Zhenzhen was now in a state of urinary and fecal retention.
She asked Xiangnan for more details and conducted a more careful inspection.
"Brother Xiangnan, Zhenzhen should have received the measles vaccine, right?"
"Yes. It was because of the vaccination that when Zhenzhen first got sick, her mother and I thought she had a cold and just gave her some cold medicine."
As he spoke of this, Xiangnan's self-loathing grew stronger.
After all, if they had not vaccinated their daughter, they might have discovered that something was wrong with her at the first moment.
He would not wait until the IV drip was found to be useless before sending his daughter to the hospital, as it would obviously be too late by then.
Once the poison enters the blood, even the immortals cannot do anything about it.
Thinking of this, Xiangnan recounted in a low voice the detailed process of how they took their daughter to see the doctor.
"At first, she felt a little better and her temperature dropped. But the next day, it shot up dramatically. Your sister-in-law immediately took Zhenzhen to the hospital, got her some medicine, and started an IV drip. All that time, we actually…we actually missed the crucial moment when we realized something was wrong with Zhenzhen. If…"
Hearing Xiangnan's heartfelt cry of grief, many medical staff who were watching had red eyes and quietly withdrew from the crowd.
Now they seem to understand the feelings of the patient's family. Coming to watch the fun is not a bright thing to do.
After a while, most of the onlookers dispersed.
However, people from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine who rushed over after hearing the news quickly filled in the gaps, wanting to see whether this doctor invited by the patient's family could have his own unique way of treating measles.
In the ward, Xiangnan continued to talk, and Chen Yin also understood the early condition of Zhenzhen's illness.
She moistened Zhenzhen's lips with a cotton swab and gently lifted her purple, cracked lips, revealing the tongue hidden inside.
Zhenzhen seemed to feel the presence of water, and her tongue, under subconscious control, kept stretching and licking the wetness of her lips.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Yin took a clear look at Zhenzhen's tongue. It was crimson and prickly, which was obviously due to heat stagnation.
Then, he began to take the pulse.
Chen Yin judged that Zhenzhen was suffering from an internal attack of rash poison, which was fumigating and burning the internal organs, blocking the lungs with heat toxins, and attacking the heart, causing liver wind and obstructing the mind①.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that Zhenzhen still has certain physiological reactions, can lick her lips, and can still take medicine.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Yin took out silver needles, alcohol, paper and pen from the medicine box she carried with her.
She quickly wrote down the prescription she had written, noting all the key points that should be paid attention to when preparing and taking the medicine.
The next second, she turned around and instantly ran into countless pairs of cold eyes.
"I wonder if I can use your hospital's pharmacy to get some medicine? The patient needs to take the medicine as soon as possible."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to Liang Huaiyou, the deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After all, he is the most influential person in traditional Chinese medicine.
Wen Su agreed with Chen Yin's approach, but he just wanted her to get the parents to accept the fact that there was no better treatment for the patient as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually prescribed a medicine, but if I want to use the medicine, it must be evaluated by the doctors in their hospital.
"Lao Liang, please take a look first."
"Okay!" Liang Huaiyou took the prescription from Chen Yin's hand.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see what confidence these young industry veterans had that allowed them to challenge their hospital.
At first glance, the detailed instructions on the recipe for cooking and taking the medicine caught my attention.
Liang Huaiyou's gaze towards Fang Zi instantly became serious, and it was obvious that he saw into her heart.
The prescription is obviously a combination of Ginseng White Tiger Chengqi Decoction and Ma Xing Shi Gan Decoction. This prescription can clear the bowels and relieve heat, quickly descend and preserve yin, and also open and close the lungs. It has to be said to be a wonderful prescription.
"good!"
An exclamation of praise suddenly broke the gloomy atmosphere in the ward, shocking everyone.
Everyone looked at Liang Huaiyou in surprise, not understanding why he behaved like that. Could it be that this little girl who came to challenge him really had some skills?
Even so, Wang Yue still held on to his original idea.
"Director Liang, do you think this prescription can be given to the patient? If something happens to the patient after taking the medicine, we won't be able to explain it to the dean."
"this……"
Sure enough, Liang Huaiyou's voice became hesitant after hearing his colleagues' persuasion.
His admiration just now was mainly for the wonderful prescription prescribed by Chen Yin, a young person of the same generation.
When he was Chen Yin's age, he definitely couldn't prescribe such a magic prescription.
But to be honest, Liang Huaiyou was not very sure whether the prescription could cure the patient. After all, this was measles, severe measles, and the mortality rate was high.
He pondered for a moment and handed the prescription to Xiangnan. "I'll let the patient's family decide whether to prescribe the medicine."
If something goes wrong with the patient, no one present dares to take responsibility.
Xiangnan didn't expect that the director of the hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department would not give a biased answer. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
"Catch! We need medicine! If my daughter can't be cured, we will bear the responsibility ourselves."
"I believe in Yinyin. As long as she prescribes a prescription, it proves that Zhenzhen can still be saved."
Li Chunli's trusting voice shocked the doctors present.
If Liang Huaiyou had not expressed his admiration before, I am afraid everyone would have mistakenly thought that Chen Yin was a quack doctor who specialized in deceiving seriously ill patients and their families.
Since the patient still insists on his own idea and has been transported out of the PICU, there is no need to worry about getting some medicine.
Wen Su turned his head to look at the interns who were joining in the fun at the door and said casually:
"Someone come and help me get the medicine and boil it for me. I need it urgently."
"Fry it over high heat and send it over as soon as possible." Chen Yin added.
The interns standing at the door looked at each other. After realizing their identities as members of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhou Xuewen quickly replied:
"I'll go right away!"
