"With just two doses, the child was completely out of danger!"
Coming out of the observation room, Gao Baowen said to Yun Heng with great emotion.
As the director of the emergency department, Gao Baowen always pays attention to the patient's condition in the emergency department where the patient is located.
It is impossible for Yun Heng and others to be by the sick child's side all the time to pay attention to the child's condition, but the emergency department needs to pay attention at all times. Unless there is a major change, they naturally do not need to notify Yun Heng.
When the first dose of medicine was almost finished yesterday, the child's spasms and convulsions were alleviated, but not significantly. But when one-third of the second dose was used, that is, when the doctor made rounds last night, the child's condition had obviously improved.
This morning, the child's mental state has returned to normal.
After taking two doses of medicine, the child has completely recovered and is out of danger.
When the child came to the hospital the day before yesterday, he was still in a critical condition. However, after taking two doses of medicine, the child was completely out of danger. This made Gao Baowen, who has worked in the emergency room for nearly 30 years, find it a little unbelievable.
"The more acute and critical the disease, the more obvious the effect is."
Dang Siping said: "From ancient times to the present, before the emergence of modern medicine, TCM has actually treated more emergency cases. This is especially true for poor families, who look down on illness and put off treatment as much as possible. Minor illnesses are turned into major ones, and major illnesses are turned into critical ones. By the time they find a doctor, the condition is often extremely critical."
"What Dr. Dang said does make sense."
Gao Baowen smiled and said, "I joined the emergency department more than 20 years ago. At that time, transportation in Jiaoping County was quite inconvenient, and doctors from our county hospital often went to the countryside. In some towns, many patients delayed minor illnesses until major ones, and major illnesses until critical ones. This was even more so before the rise of modern medicine."
Gao Baowen had never considered this aspect before, and his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine was just following what others said, such as traditional Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, traditional Chinese medicine can only treat chronic diseases, and traditional Chinese medicine is a sham.
But if you think about it carefully, before the rise of modern medicine, people’s food and clothing were a problem. Many people could not afford to eat, let alone see a doctor.
As an emergency doctor in a county-level hospital, Gao Baowen could understand and appreciate the situation at the time. Twenty or thirty years ago, many people in Jiaoping County had to bear their illnesses and were reluctant to go to the clinic or see a doctor.
At that time, many families had their own tetracycline and acetaminophen, and took medicine for diarrhea and fever by themselves. They would go to the hospital for treatment only when they were really in bad condition. At that time, even county-level hospitals were out of reach for many families.
"Many people have misunderstandings about Traditional Chinese Medicine. They feel that TCM methods are inadequate for critical illnesses, and that modern medicine methods like tracheotomy, blood transfusions, surgery, and anti-infection treatments are faster and more effective than TCM methods. These are just the opinions of laypeople who don't understand TCM."
Yun Heng said calmly, "In fact, Traditional Chinese Medicine is very good at emergency treatment. It can even be said that it has an advantage. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses dialectical treatment. Treatment methods such as nasogastric feeding of Chinese medicine, enema, acupuncture, and moxibustion are quite effective. Ge Hong's "Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow" even includes first aid methods such as catheterization and early cardiopulmonary resuscitation."
"Generally speaking, critically ill patients often suffer from multiple organ dysfunction, such as severe infection, shock, combined renal insufficiency, gastrointestinal insufficiency, coagulation disorders, and many other complications. For such conditions, simple anti-infection and diuretic treatments are actually quite ineffective. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine, by considering the whole picture, adopting a multi-pronged approach and using targeted medications, often has surprisingly positive results."
Yun Heng graduated with a degree in integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and studied clinical internal medicine in school. After graduation, due to the simulation space, Yun Heng made the fastest progress in Chinese medicine, while clinical Western medicine and internal medicine fell behind. However, he read a lot of books in school and remembered a lot. Although his clinical ability in Western medicine may not be so good, his theoretical knowledge is definitely very solid.
During the past six months of seeing patients and practicing in simulated spaces, Yun Heng was able to personally feel the gap between Chinese and Western medicine.
It cannot be said which is stronger or weaker, but for different patients, both Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages.
Objectively speaking, modern medicine has greater advantages in surgery, while traditional Chinese medicine is stronger in internal medicine.
The biggest problem facing Traditional Chinese Medicine is not whether it can cure diseases or whether it can treat acute and serious illnesses, but the shortage of talented Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners.
Experts of traditional Chinese medicine are already scarce and are already very old. Most of the new generation of traditional Chinese medicine doctors have been impacted by modern education and modern medical ideas, and their thinking patterns and hands-on abilities are too poor.
There are few good Chinese medicine practitioners, and patients encounter few Chinese medicine practitioners who can treat their illnesses, which naturally creates a situation where Chinese medicine practitioners are incompetent.
"Yun Heng is right."
Yue Shaojiang also said expressionlessly: "Many people feel that Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot treat emergencies. The bigger reason is that since the rise of modern medicine, the opportunities for Traditional Chinese Medicine to participate in emergency cases have become fewer and fewer. Most Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners consider themselves to be in reserve."
Yue Shaojiang's grandfather Yue Anyun is also a famous Chinese medicine expert of the older generation. In this regard, Yue Shaojiang's knowledge is much better than that of some people such as Lin Yonggang.
"No matter what weapon it is, it depends on who uses it."
Tan Gaoyang smiled and said, "Whether it's Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they're both just means of treating illness. The same thing in different hands can have different effects and powers. The fact that the child is recovering this time can only be attributed to Dr. Yun's superb skills. Given the child's condition at the time, it's hard to say what the patient's condition would have been like if someone else had used it, whether it was Chinese medicine or Western medicine."
"Yeah, the squad leader is awesome."
Lin Yonggang smiled and said, "We are all practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but at the time we were all at a loss. I don't know if there are differences between different medical practices, but there are huge differences between people."
