"Aren't you Doctor Yun?"
The child's mother looked at Qin Dajiang, then at Yun Heng, tears in her eyes almost overflowing.
Is Dr. Yun so young?
She suddenly felt as if she had been cheated.
The child's condition did not improve at all after three or four days of treatment at the Third Municipal Hospital. Yun Heng was so young, how could he be cured?
Most patients actually don't have enough knowledge about public and private hospitals. The child's mother immediately felt that she must have been deceived by Dr. Shi in the emergency department, and that Shi Haihang must be doing something fishy here.
When she first heard it was a community hospital, she was hesitant. How could the doctors in that kind of place be better than those in tertiary hospitals?
It was noon when they met Shi Haihang, but the child's mother only came with the child at this time. It was obvious that she had hesitated for a long time. Seeing that the child had a high fever and was unconscious, the young couple tried all kinds of medical treatments in a desperate situation.
"This is Doctor Yun."
Qin Dajiang quickly took the opportunity to break free from the child's mother's hands.
"Bring the child in."
Yun Heng glanced at the child in the young man's arms, said something, and turned to walk towards the clinic.
The young couple was a little hesitant, but Qin Dajiang urged them, and they reluctantly followed the child into the clinic.
When they arrived at the clinic, Yun Heng asked the young man to sit down with the child in his arms. He reached out to feel the child's pulse while observing the child's condition.
At the community hospital, there are relatively many children seeking medical treatment. Every day when Yun Heng is on duty, at least one-fifth of his patients are actually children. Over the past few months, Yun Heng has gained relatively rich experience in treating children.
The child was not very clear-headed. He would open his eyes and look around from time to time, then lie on his father's body and close his eyes. He seemed restless and moved around from time to time. He was not sleeping very well.
"How many days has the fever been going on?"
Yun Heng asked at the same time.
"Today is the fourth day. I've had a persistent high fever, which has remained above 39.5°C. I initially used ibuprofen, which temporarily brought the fever down to below 38.5°C, which would last for more than four hours before rising again. I've been using fever-reducing patches and other physical cooling methods, but since last night, ibuprofen hasn't been very effective. After taking it for a few days, I'm afraid to stop taking it."
The child's mother choked up as she looked at her child and said, "Fever-reducing injections, hormone drugs, and IV drips don't seem to have much effect."
"How's your poop?"
Yun Heng nodded, used his other hand to feel the patient's pulse, and continued asking.
"My stool is dry and hard, a bit constipated, and my child hasn't eaten much in almost two days."
They say women are made of water. The mother couldn't help but shed tears when she heard it.
Yun Heng asked a few more questions, then released his wrist and took a tongue depressor: "Here, let me take a look."
The child's father called the child twice, and Yun Heng forced open the child's mouth and looked at the tongue coating. At the same time, Yun Heng also saw very obvious lumps on both sides of the child's throat, and the tonsils were severely swollen.
"Yeah, swollen tonsils."
Yun Heng threw away the tongue depressor and said something.
"Doctor Yun, is there any solution for this? The hospital actually recommends tonsillectomy, but we don't want to do it," said the child's mother.
Yun Heng didn't say anything, but sat behind the examination table, thinking carefully.
The child's skin is crimson and has no coating...
"When the heat spreads to the camp, the color of the body will be crimson..."
"Pure crimson and bright red indicates that the pericardium is affected by disease."
Yun Heng muttered softly as he began typing on his computer: "The heart governs the Ying, and because the Ying is hot, it leaves out crimson... Pure crimson, fresh and lustrous, without any coating, means there's no turbidity in the stomach, but the pathogen has already left the Wei and entered the Ying. The heat is in the pericardium. Diagnosing the condition is heat burning the Ying Yin, and the treatment is to clear the Ying and expel the heat."
The first few sentences are what Ye Tianshi, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty said. If the heat spreads to the Ying, the color must be crimson... Pure crimson and bright red means that the envelope is affected by the disease. Yun Heng started from this point and then began to judge and diagnose that the child had burning Ying Yin.
After printing out the prescription, Yun Heng signed it and said to the young couple, "The child has a severe fever now. It's best to hospitalize him for observation. One of you and Nurse Zhao will take the child to the ward first, and the other one will follow me to pay the fees and handle the paperwork. I'll prepare the medicine and bring it up after it's boiled."
"Doctor Yun..."
The child's mother was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, since Dr. Yun agreed to your hospitalization, he must be confident."
Zhao Nani comforted from the side.
The young couple were obviously indecisive. Zhao Nani spoke up and the child's father handed the child to the mother. The mother held the child and followed Zhao Nani to the ward.
At this moment, the cashier's office and the pharmacy were closed, but there were patients admitted to the hospital at night, so Yun Heng had the keys to the pharmacy and the cashier's office in case the patients needed medication for any condition at night.
Moreover, after the community hospital was renovated and had an inpatient area, it also had a special place for decocting and boiling medicines. Naturally, hospitalized patients had their medicines boiled by the community hospital.
Yun Heng first took the child's father to complete the formalities, and then went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
"Doctor Yun, let me do it."
Qin Dajiang was not in a hurry to leave. He hurriedly took the medicine from Yun Heng's hand and boiled the medicine with Yun Heng in the place where medicine was boiled.
After the medicine was ready, Yun Heng and Qin Dajiang just walked upstairs and saw a person acting suspiciously on the second floor.
Hearing the footsteps, the person turned around and saw Yun Heng. He hurriedly smiled and greeted him, "Doctor Yun."
