The two patients brought by Lawrence and others were a 70-year-old white man with Alzheimer's disease, and a 60-year-old white woman with a brain tumor.
After the patient was brought to the hospital, Chen Fanming and Chu Gaopeng also went to the consultation room together.
Clinically, Alzheimer's disease is considered to be a very difficult geriatric disease to treat. Modern medicine believes that Alzheimer's disease is caused by atrophy of brain tissue, so it is difficult to recover naturally and is quite difficult to treat in practice.
Basically, Alzheimer's disease is clinically an irreversible geriatric disease that can only be alleviated or delayed.
Another patient with an intracranial tumor also had a very difficult condition.
Of course, if it was a simple illness, Lawrence and others would not bring the patient to China or to West Asian hospitals.
A white old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease was sitting on a chair in the consultation room. His lips were dry and he looked a little irritable.
Lawrence also told Yun Heng and others about the patient's specific symptoms, including dizziness, leg pain, and back pain.
"My mouth is dry, but I don't drink much water. I just need a small amount to moisten my lips."
Yun Heng nodded and observed the patient. He found that the patient did not produce much saliva, almost none.
"The pulse is deep, thready and slow!"
Chu Gaopeng took the patient's pulse and said to Yun Heng and Chen Fanming, "Although the patient's hands and feet are not cold, which seems to be due to Yin deficiency, his pulse is deep, thin and slow. It is obviously not Yin deficiency, but rather excessive cold, which is blocking Yang Qi and causing the false Yang to float upward."
"Well, Director Chu is right."
Chen Fanming said, "The weak Yang is floating upwards, so naturally it can't transport body fluids up to the mouth, which is why the mouth is dry. However, the patient doesn't have symptoms of Yin deficiency burning body fluids, so he doesn't drink much water. Judging from the tongue coating, there should be a trace amount of stomach fire rising. It can be judged that the cold is excessive inside, and the Yang is floating upwards."
Although this disease is difficult for Western medicine to treat, it can be solved by Chen Fanming and Chu Gaopeng at the West Asia Hospital even if Yun Heng is not there.
In the consultation room, in addition to Lawrence and several other Eagle Country doctors, there were also two interns and residents, and He Yongfei was also standing by listening.
Up to this point, Yun Heng hadn't said anything yet, and Chu Gaopeng and the other man had almost analyzed the patient's symptoms.
However, even with the help of a translator, Lawrence and others were still confused when listening. Not to mention understanding, they couldn't understand anything at all.
It seemed that in all the conversations between Chu Gaopeng and Chen Fanming, there was not a single mention of the patient's Alzheimer's condition.
Alzheimer's disease is also known as Alzheimer's disease in Western medicine clinical practice. It is considered to be a progressive neurodegenerative disease with an insidious onset.
Clinically, it is characterized by global dementia manifestations such as memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, visual-spatial skill impairment, executive dysfunction, and personality and behavioral changes. The cause is still unknown.
At this moment, Chen Fanming and Chu Gaopeng were talking about deficiency yang and internal cold. To Lawrence and others, it was like listening to a foreign language. Does this have anything to do with the patient's condition?
If Yun Heng was not really famous among the doctors of Eagle Country and had not cured the prince and female singer of Eagle Country, the doctors would have found his statement incomprehensible.
What a mess.
Lawrence politely asked Yun Heng, "Doctor Yun, in addition to dizziness, the patient also has symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Does this have anything to do with what Doctor Chen and Doctor Chu just said?"
The biggest difference in the way doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of West Asia Hospital treat patients is that no matter what the disease is, they will not care about the Western medical name of the disease and will directly treat the symptoms.
Whether it is Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or cancer, none of them exist. We just need to judge based on the pulse and symptoms and prescribe the right medicine.
So it doesn’t matter to Chen Fanming and Chu Gaopeng whether the patient has Alzheimer’s disease.
Although Chen Fanming is better at gynecology and Chu Gaopeng is better at pediatrics, truly great Chinese medicine practitioners are not too limited. They just have more experience in their areas of expertise.
Chen Fanming has a ninth-level internal medicine degree, and Chu Gaopeng has an eighth-level internal medicine degree. Both of them have high levels. In addition, both of them are from famous schools, so their thinking is purer and their performance is even higher.
Listening to Lawrence's question, Yun Heng thought for a moment and explained, "The patient's Alzheimer's symptoms are mainly manifested in memory impairment and language disorders, which can be considered mental problems in Traditional Chinese Medicine..."
Yun Heng knew Westerners loved to talk about science, so he extended the topic: "All things in the universe share a common origin. A brand-new life, at the most subtle level, understands the universe and is in harmony with nature. This is also what Chinese medicine says about the correspondence between heaven and man, that all things are contained within me. This is exactly the same principle."
"Dr. Lawrence, have you ever heard the Chinese saying, 'A sparrow may be small, but it has all the organs.'"
Lawrence nodded. "Yes, that's how we gain experience in dissection. While the structures of animals and humans may not be exactly the same, there are similarities."
"In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there's the concept of the divine. This divine being refers to the master of consciousness, perception, movement, and other life phenomena. It has a material basis, just like the laws governing the operation of all things in the universe. You can't see it, touch it, or even know where it is, but everything in the universe operates according to these laws."
Yun Heng explained.
Lawrence, Qiao Sen and others were silent for a while and nodded.
The universe is too vast, and current science can explain too few things. Where did the universe come from? Why does it have these laws? Many things cannot be verified.
Yun Heng said that this master is the law behind it, and there is indeed some truth to it.
"In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the human spirit is divided into seven levels. The first is the innate spirit. This spirit exists at the very beginning of life, when the parents' sperms are united and the fetus is formed. Before birth, it has not yet been influenced by the acquired environment, so this is called the innate spirit."
"The innate god can also be called the god of reproduction, the god of life, or the primordial spirit. It is not only the core material foundation of what makes us human, but also the core spiritual foundation. With its existence, life can continue to be nurtured. Otherwise, it will definitely be stillbirth..."
Lawrence and others listened attentively.
If we say that this god is something that promotes the movement of life, is invisible and intangible, and is dominated from the moment of illness, then it makes sense.
Don't explain this "God" with superstitious myths and gods, but explain it with rules and the mysteries of life, and you will understand it.
Although science now explains life, such as the combination of egg and sperm and embryonic development, what is the essence of life and why life is born? If we really dig deep into the matter, many questions remain unsolved.
Instead of investigating it, we temporarily use a mysterious thing to refer to it, which can be called "God". In layman's terms, life is life with essence, energy and spirit, without which it is a dead thing.
