After saying that, the doctor turned and left again.
Lin Xu took the bill to pay and get the medicine. After a while, the nurse came with a syringe and added some medicine to the IV drip.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, after the two bottles of liquid were used up, Lin Fanfan's condition still did not improve much.
"Lin Xu, how about transferring to another hospital?"
Lin Fanfan's mother felt so distressed when she looked at her child. She had given the child two bottles of IV drip last night and two more during the day today, but the child's condition had not improved much. Lin Fanfan's mother had begun to lose trust in the doctors at the county hospital.
"It's almost four in the afternoon now. Even if we transfer to another hospital, it will be almost six when we arrive in Xihua City. All the specialist departments will be closed, so we can only go to the emergency department."
Lin Xu looked at the time: "How about waiting a day, tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, look at Fanfan. He hasn't shown any improvement and hasn't eaten for a whole day." Lin Fanfan's mother's eyes were red.
"If it doesn't work, transfer to another hospital. The county hospital's level is really not good enough." Lin Fanfan's grandmother also said.
"Okay, I'll go tell the doctor."
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, left the ward, and went to talk to the doctor.
"The child just came last night. He has acute gastroenteritis, which is not easy to recover from..."
When the attending physician in charge during the day heard Lin Xu say that he wanted to be transferred to another hospital, he gave the routine advice.
"But the child has had a fever for a whole day and has not improved at all. He hasn't eaten anything during the day..."
"This disease is like this. In severe cases, there will be vomiting, diarrhea, and definitely no appetite..."
"What's going on?"
As the attending physician was explaining, Gao Baowen, director of the emergency department, walked in.
"Director Gao."
The attending physician hurriedly explained the situation and said, "We have been providing treatment, but now the patient needs to be discharged."
"Bring the medical records here, let me take a look."
Gao Baowen said to the attending physician.
The attending doctor hurriedly handed the medical record to Gao Baowen. Gao Baowen took it and read it while saying, "He was sent to the emergency room last night. He does have acute gastroenteritis. He doesn't have any symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea?"
Gao Baowen's first sentence was a narration, and the second sentence was a question.
"No, it's just that he's hot and cold sometimes, and he always has a fever of around 38.5°C," said the attending physician.
"Hiss, there's no vomiting or diarrhea, so it shouldn't be this serious."
Gao Baowen was a little confused. Generally speaking, different diseases should have corresponding symptoms. But in his case, the fever wouldn't go away, and he'd alternate between hot and cold. It wasn't a mild case, but he hadn't vomited or had diarrhea...
"He vomited and foamed at the mouth on the highway before. Then I met a doctor from Xihua Hospital who gave him two injections. After that, he got much better."
Lin Xu said hurriedly.
"Acupuncture and bloodletting?"
Gao Baowen asked.
"Well, I gave you two injections in the popliteal fossa, and some purple-black blood came out." Lin Xu nodded.
"No wonder."
After all, Gao Baowen is the director of the emergency department and is knowledgeable. This method of acupuncture is often used in the emergency department. If it is an emergency, timely bloodletting through acupuncture can indeed relieve symptoms.
"Did the doctor who treated him at the time have any other explanation?" Gao Baowen asked again.
"I also left a prescription. I told the doctor on duty last night, but the doctor didn't let me use it." Lin Xu said.
"Is the recipe still there?" Gao Baowen asked.
"Here I am."
Lin Xu hurriedly opened his cell phone, found the saved recipe, and handed it to Gao Baowen.
Gao Baowen looked at the prescription and asked the attending physician, "Who was on duty last night?"
"It's Dr. Guo Youtang."
The attending physician said hurriedly.
"Director Gao, will this prescription work?" Lin Xu asked hurriedly.
"This prescription clears away heat and relieves exterior symptoms. It was useful then, but it's no longer suitable now."
Gao Baowen didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, but he started out as a grassroots doctor. In his early years, he was actually just a township doctor, and later he went to the county hospital. Therefore, he had relatively rich experience in treatment and was familiar with some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, but it was just an understanding. If he were asked to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases, it would be absolutely impossible.
Just looking at this prescription, combined with the acupuncture treatment methods used by doctors at the time, Gao Baowenjue's doctor who treated the child should have been quite capable.
Gao Baowen thought for a moment and asked, "What was the name of the doctor who treated you at the time? Do you have his contact information?"
"I was in a hurry at that time and forgot to ask." Lin Xu said hurriedly.
"Let's do this. There's no rush for discharge. I'll find a professional specialist to take a look at the situation. The child is so young now, and it's not good to toss him around. If the child really can't be cured, our hospital has cooperation with the municipal hospital. We can help you contact the experts from Xihua Municipal Hospital. How about it?" Gao Baowen asked in a negotiating tone.
"Okay." Lin Xu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
