At that time, Zhang Gengping also felt that the patient's condition was not serious, just a minor cold, so he handed the full responsibility to Lin Yonggang. Lin Yonggang was inconsiderate and used Ma Huang Tang, a diaphoretic decoction. After using it, the patient trembled uncontrollably, felt dizzy, and had twitching muscles and muscles, that is, the muscles on the surface of the body twitched involuntarily. The patient could not get out of bed, and if he got out of bed, he might fall down. He also had difficulty urinating and his limbs were slightly stiff, and he was already in a critical condition.
Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different medical systems. Traditional Chinese medicine starts from a macro perspective, viewing the human body as a whole. The medication actually uses the bias of the medicine, such as cold, heat, tonification, drainage, balance of yin and yang, and balance of internal organs. Western medicine starts from a micro perspective, targeting specific viruses and specific lesions.
Because of the differences between the two medical systems, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The difference between Chinese and Western medicine does not lie in the distinction between acute and chronic diseases. Chinese medicine is no less effective than Western medicine in treating acute diseases.
To be more objective, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are quite obvious. First of all, it can prevent problems before they occur. If there is any slight functional change in the body, traditional Chinese medicine can make appropriate adjustments.
Secondly, Chinese medicine treatment often seeks the root cause of the disease, which can often eliminate the disease fundamentally and restore the body to normal state.
At the same time, the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine believes that man and nature are a unified whole, and the impact of changes in nature on the human body cannot be ignored; the human body itself is an indivisible unified whole. If there is a disease in one part, it is not necessarily the root cause. Most of the time, it is the result of imbalance in the functions of two or three organs or meridians. Sometimes, multiple problems can be solved at once if you meet a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Traditional Chinese medicine's dialectical treatment approach is actually quite advanced. When a patient has a disease, he or she cannot be treated based on the disease itself. Instead, the four examinations must be conducted, and modern auxiliary examination equipment can be combined to make a comprehensive judgment and thoroughly analyze the symptoms of the disease before prescribing treatment.
Therefore, the advantages of TCM in treating diseases can be summarized as early detection, thorough treatment, no damage or little damage to the body, and stable prognosis.
However, traditional Chinese medicine treats the human body as a whole, and some disadvantages in treatment are also very obvious. The biggest point is that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are difficult to train, there are few good doctors, and dialectics are more complicated when facing symptoms. This also leads to a high probability of traditional Chinese medicine doctors making mistakes during the treatment process.
This characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine will also cause a greater impact on patients if something goes wrong.
If the disease is originally a positive syndrome but the method of supplementation is used, it will just add fuel to the fire. If the disease is originally a negative syndrome but the method of purgation is used, it may make the already weak patient even weaker.
This was the mistake Lin Yonggang made this time. The patient originally had only a minor cold, but because he mistakenly used the diaphoretic Mahuang Decoction, his condition worsened and even became critical.
"The patient is still relatively conscious, but is still sweating. This situation is causing him to lose his defensive Qi, severely damage his body fluids, and cause kidney Qi deficiency, leading to difficulty urinating. It's quite a problem."
Zhang Gengping said to Yun Heng.
"Let's go see the patient first."
After listening to this, Yun Heng did not rush to express his opinion, but said to Zhang Gengping.
Judging from what Lin Yonggang and Zhang Gengping said, the patient's condition is indeed quite complicated. Yun Heng actually doesn't have much of an idea at the moment. In addition, today's designated simulation has already been used, so Yun Heng can't guarantee whether this disease can be cured.
However, the doctor had to face the challenge. Although the patient's condition was complicated, Yun Heng decided to examine the patient first. If it could be cured, then he would cure it. If he was not sure, then he would find another way.
"Of course, you have to see the patient first."
Zhang Gengping nodded and said politely, "Doctor Yun, Doctor Yue, Doctor Ren, please come this way."
The patient was staying in a regular ward, a four-person room. When Zhang Gengping and Yun Heng and a group of others entered the ward, the patient's family members stood up, their faces unhappy, but they didn't get angry. They patiently asked, "Director Zhang, what's going on with my dad? You have to give us an explanation."
The patient's family members did not understand medicine and did not realize that it was actually a problem with Lin Yonggang's medication, but their father's condition was getting worse, which was not a good sign.
"Director Zhang and Director Fang have personally inspected this. They're currently conducting research. You can see how much we value this."
An attending physician who came with him quickly interrupted.
The patient's family members then fell silent. Previously, his father had always been in charge of Lin Yonggang, and now there were two directors, Zhang Gengping and Fang Zhengxiang, and such a large group of doctors, which really showed that they attached great importance to the case.
Most of the patients' families are actually quite easy to talk to. They don't understand the condition or the medication, and most of the time all they care about is an attitude.
