Chapter 89 Many people see a doctor...
"Two yuan. That's the price for Doctor Chen's specialist clinic at the county hospital. It's mainly to prevent people from only seeing Doctor Chen if they have a cold, a headache, or a fever. Doctors Liu and Zhou can also handle more basic ailments."
"Look at the long line of people waiting to register now. How can Dr. Chen handle it all by himself? Dr. Liu and Dr. Zhou have also studied with Dr. Chen for a long time and have achieved great success."
The nurse's words did not comfort the patient who just wanted Chen Yin to diagnose her illness. Instead, she continued to nag.
"How can they be the same? I've only heard of Doctor Chen."
"Could it be that the clinic is too big and wants to fool us?"
…
"Two yuan isn't a lot. If you just want to see Dr. Chen, you can just register as usual."
Some people in the crowd also expressed their disapproval, which made the staff in charge of registration feel relieved.
She didn't expect that the first trouble she encountered on her first day at work would be choosing a doctor.
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, a good idea suddenly flashed through my mind.
"If Doctor Liu and Doctor Zhou can't diagnose your condition, you'll definitely ask Doctor Chen for help. Wouldn't it be better to see the same doctor for a dollar and a half less?"
I have to say that her words really opened another door for the anxious patients.
Who doesn’t have the slightest desire to take advantage of others?
In such a strange atmosphere, registration went smoothly, and many patients came to Liu Mengxi and Zhou Xuewen's clinic to see a doctor.
Of course, the one with the most outpatient appointments was Chen Yin. It took her almost no time to book all the appointments for the day.
After registering, the patients immediately headed to the clinic on the second floor, got on the elevator nervously and excitedly, and felt the power of technology.
Then follow the signs and registration paper to the door of the clinic where you are registering.
In Chen Yin's clinic, besides herself, Qi Wenzhong also assisted her, and he was naturally responsible for calling out numbers.
Qi Wenzhong glanced at the time and asked, "Sister Yinyin, can we start the clinic now?"
"If there's anyone outside, just call them in."
As soon as Qi Wenzhong opened the door, he saw patients sitting and standing looking at him expectantly.
"Number one."
"Here." When Li Wan saw Qi Wenzhong leaving the house, she had already started walking towards him.
Behind her was her lover holding the child. The two of them came all the way here to seek medical treatment for their child. They waited at the door of the clinic early in the morning and only then did they get the earliest number in line.
Qi Wenzhong was already accustomed to patients coming from other places. He glanced at the two of them and quickly turned around and walked inside.
The two of them quickly chased after him with the children in their arms, closed the door, and looked at Chen Yin and Qi Wenzhong with a smile, nodding repeatedly.
"Doctor Chen."
"Doctor Chen!"
"Please take a seat, both of you. If you have anything to say, please sit down first."
"Hey, hey, hey," the two of them sat down hurriedly, quickly took out all the examination forms from the county hospital, municipal hospital, and provincial hospital from their bags, placed them on the table, and piled them up high.
Qi Wenzhong couldn't help but open his eyes wide after seeing it. He quickly moved it to his side and took out the useful medical records from it.
Then he immediately placed it in front of Chen Yin for her reference.
During their time at the county hospital, they saw countless patients from other places, and they all wanted to show Chen Yin their examination records.
But these records are basically useless for someone who adheres to traditional Chinese medicine.
Whenever Qi Wenzhong and his colleagues encountered this, they would quickly look away and face the disapproving looks from the patients and their families.
He knew that the other party would soon lose the mind to care about these things.
Chen Yin briefly glanced at the medical records from the grassroots hospital and asked:
"It says that the child initially suffered from aphasia and upper limb weakness due to catching a cold, right?"
"Yes, Doctor Chen. In late autumn and early winter, the child saw that the sun was strong, so I took some water to bathe him. Although it wasn't very hot, it was fine for bathing."
Speaking of this, Li Wan also resented herself for taking advantage of that opportunity.
"It's happened before, but after that one wash, the child suddenly stopped talking and couldn't lift his arms. A few hours later, apart from stuttering, there were no other unusual symptoms."
"At first, my wife and I thought it was the child who was causing trouble. But that night, he had a high fever that wouldn't go away. We went to the hospital and got an IV drip before he recovered. After that, he started vomiting and shaking all over, and he was completely out of control."
"For the sake of our child, we traveled from the county to the city, and then to the provincial capital, but we still couldn't cure him. Then I heard other patients mention your name, and with the mentality of giving it a try, I rushed here from a neighboring province."
While Li Wan was speaking, the child's father gently lifted the child up so that Chen Yin could see the child's condition clearly.
To be honest, just by observing after entering the door, it seems impossible to see the situation described by the family members.
Chen Yin glanced at the child and continued to ask, "When do children usually get sick?"
Hearing this, the couple looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why the doctor asked this question.
Li Wan carefully recalled the situation when her child fell ill, her eyes lit up, and she quickly answered:
"The child usually gets sick around lunchtime, vomiting and shaking violently. Neither of us adults can control the child. But strangely enough, even before lunchtime, the child's appetite isn't affected at all."
"That's why many doctors, after seeing the child, felt that there was probably something wrong with the child's brain nerves and there was no good treatment available at the moment."
After saying this, the couple was overwhelmed with grief and looked at Chen Yin with tears in their eyes, hoping that she could come up with a solution.
Chen Yin smiled and responded to their expectations, "In other words, the child is normal except for the abnormal appearance when the disease occurs."
"That's right! That's right! Apart from the illness, the child is no different from before. He eats and drinks well and has a lot of fun playing."
"I see the child is wearing a lot of clothes. He must be afraid of the cold on weekdays, right?"
"Doctor Chen, you've noticed this. Other doctors thought the child had a cold constitution and had to wear so many clothes in winter."
At this moment, Li Wan and his wife have more confidence in Chen Yin's medical skills.
In the following time, Chen Yin continued to ask questions and diagnose the symptoms, finding out all the symptoms of the child and unraveling them.
She checked all the contents written on the paper one by one, discarded the seemingly useful Zhenwu Decoction, and replaced it with Guizhi Decoction with modifications, Zexie Decoction, and Xiaobanxia Jia Fuling Decoction, which were formulated based on Mr. Li's many years of experience.
"In my opinion, the child should be suffering from phlegm and fluid. We need to first relieve the symptoms and induce sweating, then warm and nourish the liver and stomach, and finally eliminate the distension, vomiting, and dizziness caused by the phlegm and fluid."
"Phlegm and fluid," the couple had seen so many doctors, but this was the first time they heard such a word.
Although the two did not know whether they could cure the child's illness this time, they unconsciously gained confidence when they saw Chen Yin's confident look.
Li Wan excitedly took the prescription from Chen Yin's hand and wanted to get up and leave to get the medicine for the child.
Just as she turned around, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Chen Yin sheepishly and asked, "Doctor Chen, does my son need to be hospitalized?"
"No, the child isn't at the stage where he needs to be hospitalized for observation. But if you're worried, our clinic currently offers inpatient beds. I heard you're from out of town, so if it's inconvenient where you live, you can ask our pharmacy to take the medicine and just come in on time."
After hearing Chen Yin's explanation, both of them blushed with excitement.
I didn't expect that after spending so much money on medical treatment in the early stage, I ended up spending the least after seeing a famous doctor.
Li Wan carefully considered the family savings and decided to stay in a hotel with her children because they had already paid for it.
As for boiling the medicine, it is better to leave it to the clinic, so you can feel more at ease.
If the child's condition improves after two doses of medicine, they will take the medicine home and boil it themselves.
"Thank you, Doctor Chen! We don't want to be hospitalized, but we would like to make medicine in the clinic."
"Sure, just let them know when you get the medicine, and they'll make the arrangements."
After hearing the family's choice, Chen Yin couldn't help but give them some advice.
"Thank you, Doctor Chen!"
The two of them left the clinic almost bowing all the way, which made the patients waiting outside very excited and hoped that their illnesses could be cured soon.
Chen Yin's treatment went smoothly, but there were some minor problems in the clinic where Liu Mengxi and Zhou Xuewen were treated.
It was Liu Mengxi's first time seeing a patient alone. Faced with the patient's complicated condition, he always felt unsure. He looked over the paper with various symptoms written on it over and over again, but could not come to a conclusion.
The patient was willing to wait at first, but as time went by, he began to become impatient.
"Doctor Liu, right? Is my illness very complicated? What took you so long?"
As soon as the patient's question came out, Liu Mengxi's hand holding the medical record could not help but tremble, and he said nervously:
"Don't worry, I'm watching you right now."
"I don't want to rush it, but it's been ten minutes since you last spoke. Can you just give me a firm answer? If not, get Doctor Chen."
As soon as Liu Mengxi heard Chen Yin's name, his brain started working rapidly.
How could she possibly bother Chen Yin on the first day of business? She wanted to prove to everyone else that she, Liu Mengxi, could also handle things on her own.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, or perhaps her mind was really spinning, she really unraveled the symptoms on the paper to find the cause.
"Your illness is mainly caused by improper diet and weak spleen and stomach. Hiccups, which we often call burps, occur in this area."
Liu Mengxi pointed to the area below his ribs and explained to the patient.
The patient finally heard what he wanted to hear and nodded in agreement. Anyone who has received some education knows the location of the diaphragm.
Seeing the patient's reaction, Liu Mengxi's tone became more fluent.
"It surrounds the stomach, lungs, liver, and kidneys, and they are all closely related. If you want to solve the problem of hiccups, you can't just treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause."
After following Chen Yin for a long time, Liu Mengxi could imitate Chen Yin's tone with ease.
She continued to explain to the patient, which was also an explanation and verification of her own judgment.
"You have stagnant Qi and upward flow of stomach Qi. You need to relieve Qi stagnation and soothe the stomach. I propose to use Wumo Yinzi with modifications for your condition."
As he spoke, Liu Mengxi had already written down the prescription on a piece of paper and handed it to the patient.
The patient subconsciously raised his hand to take it, but suddenly stopped the moment he took it.
Liu Mengxi looked at him suspiciously, "Any other questions?"
"Hehe!" The patient smiled awkwardly and asked, "If the medicine you prescribed, Dr. Liu, doesn't work, can you find Dr. Chen for me?"
