Chapter 91: Gallbladder...
In this case, a large amount of aconite must be administered, and its pungent and hot properties as a pure yang ingredient must be utilized to break the yin and restore the yang.
It should also consider warming the yang and benefiting the kidneys, clearing away dampness and turbidity, and awakening the spleen and saving the kidneys①.
Just when Chen Yin was about to prescribe the medicine, the patient's family saw that she was hesitant to take any action and their hearts were on the verge of collapse.
If Dr. Chen couldn't do anything, they could only quietly accompany their son through his last moments.
The two of them clung tightly together, supporting each other, otherwise their legs would have given way and they would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing his wife and children in such a state, the king's father could no longer remain silent.
"Doctor Chen, no matter what result you give, my husband and I can accept it."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother could no longer hold back her emotions and covered her face with her hands, crying.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the family members' expressions. The patient on the hospital bed was only in his early twenties, and it was really sad that he was to be separated from his loved ones forever at such a young age.
"This is the first time I've encountered a patient with uremia, so I might have been a bit careless in my prescription. I wonder if your family agrees with the medication?"
As Chen Yin spoke, she wrote down the prescription she had carefully considered.
The two of them didn't expect that they could prescribe a prescription. Although there was uncertainty in Chen Yin's words, the couple's idea now was: no matter whether it works or not, as long as there is a slight possibility, they must try it.
The Queen Mother couldn't wait to take the prescription from Chen Yin's hand. Her eyes were already wet with tears, and her vision was blurred, so she couldn't see the contents on the paper clearly.
Even if they could see clearly, the two of them knew nothing about how to use medicine.
The king's father glanced at the prescription in his wife's hand and said firmly:
"Doctor Chen, please give my son the medicine. No matter what the result is, we are willing to give it a try."
"Please take the medicine!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Doctor Chen, please give my son the medicine quickly."
Yang Yunxiang glanced at Chen Yin, then quickly shifted her gaze to the Queen Mother and held out her hands. "Give me the prescription, and I'll go down and arrange for someone to boil the medicine."
"Thank you!"
Yang Yunxiang took the prescription, quickly left the room, took the elevator directly to the first floor, and saw Sister Ma strolling around the medicine room.
"Sister Ma! Here's a dose of medicine. I need you to boil it quickly and send it to room 316 on the third floor. The patient is critically ill and needs medicine immediately."
When Sister Ma heard this, she immediately rushed towards Yang Yunxiang and quickly took the prescription.
"Okay! We'll get through it right away."
Throughout the whole day today, they only received five or six orders for medicine. If no one comes, Sister Ma is worried that the clinic will not be able to survive.
After hearing what Yang Yunxiang said, they started working immediately.
Thinking of the patient's condition, Yang Yunxiang did not dare to leave and personally squatted by the side waiting to boil the medicine.
Inside the third-floor ward, Liu Mengxi recalled the scene in front of Chen Yin's door and immediately suggested, "Yin Yin, why don't you go to the clinic and see the other patients first? We'll be watching here and call you if there's any problem."
Chen Yin took a look and realized that there was really nothing she could do to help the patient at the moment. After briefly reminding him of the medication process, she turned and left.
Qi Wenzhong, Chen Yin's assistant, was no exception and left with them.
In a flash, only the patient, his family, Liu Mengxi and Zhou Xuewen were left in the ward.
Since there are no patients to see downstairs, they might as well stay in the ward and help watch over it.
Time passed minute by minute, and the excitement of Wang's father and mother, who had just been intoxicated by Chen Yin's prescription, gradually cooled down. Seeing their son's increasingly bad complexion, they felt uneasy.
The two men's nervous gazes frequently lingered on Liu Mengxi and Zhou Xuewen's faces, but they didn't dare to speak.
Just when their hearts were about to sink to the bottom, the "ding" sound of the elevator door opening immediately aroused their bodies' vitality.
The two of them were eager to go out and check if the medicine had been delivered.
Liu Mengxi was faster than the other two. He stepped out of the room and saw Yang Yunxiang appear with a bowl of steaming medicine.
She pushed the door open wider and stepped forward to greet them, "I'm coming."
"Yes, Doctor Liu." Yang Yunxiang handed over the tray carefully.
At this moment, seeing the steam from the medicine bowl, the king's father and mother looked as if they had seen a savior. Their eyes were filled with nothing but the medicine.
Especially the Queen Mother, who subconsciously wanted to take the medicine bowl from Liu Mengxi's hand and feed the medicine to her son herself.
Liu Mengxi noticed the other party's actions, slightly moved the tray away, and reminded:
"Could you please help gently support the patient's back? I will personally administer the medication."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Upon hearing that she could be of use, the Queen Mother no longer cared about anything else. She quickly sat down beside the bed and carefully lifted up her son who was almost a skeleton.
Liu Mengxi sat on the other side, gently stirring the medicine, adding ginseng juice and ginger juice, and then dissolving the Glauber's salt.
After some movements, he scooped out a spoonful of medicine and poured it into the patient's mouth.
Fortunately, the patient still had a certain swallowing reflex and drank 80% of the bowl of medicine.
Now, all anyone can do is wait for the medicine to take effect.
Liu Mengxi glanced at the time and turned her gaze to Yang Yunxiang, "Nurse Yang, Doctor Chen said that the patient should take the medicine every three hours. Please remember this and give the patient the medicine again in three hours. The process is the same as before."
"Doctor Liu, I remember this."
Yang Yunxiang currently has only this one patient to take care of, and she wishes she could engrave the doctor's instructions in her heart, never daring to forget them.
On the other side, Chen Yin was still continuing her outpatient work today.
"Number 40!" Qi Wenzhong's voice rang out again in the crowd.
"Here I come."
I saw a thin woman slowly standing up from the crowd and walking towards Qi Wenzhong step by step.
Qi Wenzhong quickly walked towards the patient and asked, "Excuse me, do you need help getting in?"
"Thank you!" Chu Yi let out a long breath, raised his hand and stretched it towards Qi Wenzhong.
Qi Wenzhong looked at a slightly trembling hand reaching out to him, his eyes widened uncontrollably, and he scanned the patient's body with a serious gaze, trying to see clearly what disease the other person had.
When he saw something strange on the other person's neck, he immediately had a guess in his mind.
Not only was he curious, the patients standing outside the door were also curious.
It would be bad enough that such a young girl came to seek medical treatment alone, but she was so thin, she probably wasn't in good health.
While everyone was feeling sad for Chu Yi, she had already successfully entered the clinic with the help of Qi Wenzhong.
Chen Yin looked up at the patient opposite her and found that his eyeballs had abnormal bulges, his face was dull, his body was thin, and his neck was abnormally swollen.
According to common sense, the other party should have been sitting or standing outside the door waiting for a while, and with Qi Wenzhong's support, he should not be very tired.
But after walking just this short distance, beads of sweat began to appear on the patient's forehead and his breathing became more frequent.
"Come, please sit down."
Chu Yi nodded weakly and sat down slowly.
She first placed her previous medical records on the table, and then explained her illness.
"Doctor Chen, my name is Chu Yi. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the city hospital. I've been taking medication for treatment, and my condition has improved. However, the medication I was taking has no effect on my current symptoms. I'd like to ask you to see if there's any possibility for me to continue treatment."
Chu Yi's tone was filled with a negative attitude towards life, which made Chen Yin and Qi Wenzhong's hearts tense instantly.
Chen Yin glanced at the medical records handed over by the other party and asked:
"From what you've said above, you didn't seek medical attention immediately when you showed any abnormal symptoms, right?"
"Yes, I was losing weight for a job at the time, and when I saw the weight loss, I thought it was effective."
Having said that, Chu Yi couldn't help but sneer, mocking himself in his heart for ignoring the bad signals sent by his body.
"But I soon realized something was wrong. Besides losing weight, I started to feel anxious from time to time, and I would sweat with the slightest movement. Sometimes my hands would shake uncontrollably when I held something. It was only then that I remembered to seek medical help."
At this moment, Chu Yi's heart was filled with regret, hating herself for not discovering it earlier.
"Don't worry, we'll take our time to find the cause."
Chen Yin gently comforted the other person and continued to understand other symptoms that the patient had.
…
After a long time, Chu Yi's emotions were calmed down a lot, and she was gradually able to accept the gazes and questions from Chen Yin and the others normally.
Finally, Chen Yin took a look at the other person's tongue and found that it was rosy and had a thin white coating.
The result of pulse diagnosis is stringy and rapid.
When Qi Wenzhong encountered a patient with goiter, or hyperthyroidism, for the first time, he couldn't help but tell the patient that he also wanted a pulse diagnosis.
Chu Yi looked at Qi Wenzhong curiously and extended her hand, "Doctor Qi, please."
"Thank you very much!"
Qi Wenzhong nodded repeatedly in gratitude, moved himself closer to the patient, and began to take his pulse.
Chen Yin had already found out the cause of the patient's liver depression and qi stagnation and began to prescribe medicine for the patient.
A dose of Chaihu Shugan San with modifications can soothe the liver and regulate qi, soften and disperse lumps for patients.
When she handed the prescription to Chu Yi, Qi Wenzhong stopped in time and expressed his gratitude to the patient again for his understanding.
"Take the prescription downstairs to pay the fee, then go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. If you want our clinic to help you make the medicine, you can tell the pharmacy staff."
Chu Yi nodded in understanding and proposed another idea.
"Doctor Chen, can I be hospitalized for treatment?"
"In theory, it would be more convenient for you to go home and make medicine and live there, but if you want to be hospitalized, many of our wards are currently vacant and you can stay there."
"Okay! I want to be hospitalized." Chu Yi nodded firmly.
Hearing this, Chen Yin turned to look at Qi Wenzhong beside her and instructed, "Wenzhong, take the patient to complete the hospitalization procedures, and then have someone else deliver the prescription to the pharmacy."
"Comrade Chu, please follow me."
While Qi Wenzhong was taking Chu Yi away, he did not forget to call the next patient into the ward at the door.
Just as Qi Wenzhong was taking Chu Yi to look for a suitable ward on the third floor, a surprised scream suddenly came from not far away.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Son, you're finally awake!"
A group of people stared at Wang Qixuan who was trying to turn over on the hospital bed, hoping that he would show further signs of improvement.
Wang Qixuan frowned as he listened to the screams coming from his ears. He held his stomach tightly with one hand and supported himself on the bed with the other hand. His lips opened and closed, uttering a few words.
The voice was weak, and the Queen Mother tried to get close to her son's mouth, "Son, what did you say?"
