An 82-year-old patient suffered from cerebral infarction, emphysema, hypertension, and chronic bronchitis. These conditions alone sound scary.
Many young doctors in the inspection team felt a little overwhelmed after hearing this.
Speaking objectively, no matter how good the young doctors in the inspection team are, as far as current Chinese medicine doctors are concerned, they are quite lacking in experience in emergency operations. When encountering critically ill patients, many young doctors will panic.
"No hospitalization?"
Yun Heng asked the patient's family.
"I had the examination and treatment at the city center hospital."
The patient's son quickly replied, "The hospital found my father's condition very difficult. They said that for a cerebral infarction, surgery would be the best option. But my father is so old and has emphysema and bronchitis, so surgery is impossible. We can only have conservative treatment. He stayed in the hospital for a while and then was taken home to be treated at home..."
"We heard from relatives that there's a small hospital in Xihua City with a highly skilled Chinese medicine doctor named Yun Hengyun, so we brought my dad here... Coincidentally, while we were waiting to register, my dad became dizzy and passed out."
The patient's son almost spit out nonsense while talking about this. He originally wanted to say that he came here to try his luck, but after saying one word, he realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate and seemed disrespectful.
"Um!"
Yun Heng nodded and walked to the old man again.
At this moment, the old man was lying on the treatment bed in the emergency department and had woken up. Yun Heng first observed the old man's condition, then felt his pulse, which was thin and stringy, and then looked at his tongue coating, which was light purple with thick and greasy coating.
"My right palm is numb, and my feet are numb too?"
Yun Heng stood up and turned to ask the patient's son.
During the previous rescue, time was tight and Yun Heng did not take the old man's pulse in detail. Now that the old man woke up, Yun Heng examined him in more detail.
"Yes, my palms and feet are numb too."
"I'll prescribe a prescription for the sequelae of a stroke. Go home and take it. If it works, come back for a follow-up visit."
Yun Heng pondered for a moment and said to the patient's son.
The young doctors watching on the side were a little confused. They just wrote a prescription and told me to go home and take it?
"Don't you need to be hospitalized?"
asked the patient's son.
"This situation won't improve much in the short term. If you want to see any results, you'll have to take the medicine for at least ten days to half a month. If you're worried, you can stay here for a while."
Yun Heng said to the patient's son.
The old man's condition is a sequelae of a stroke. He suffers from hypertension, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and many other symptoms. The coma just now is not the first time for the old man. There is no danger to his life for the time being. All the symptoms are chronic diseases.
When Yun Heng asked just now, the patient's son also said that he had been hospitalized in the City Central Hospital before and later returned home. His condition remained the same, but he returned home for treatment. There are generally two situations: one, there is not much difference between being in the hospital and at home, and the other is that he has no money.
The cost of hospitalization is not small and cannot be afforded. We can't let the elderly stay in the hospital all the time. There is no other way but to stay at home, taking medicine and hanging a bottle. At least there is no bed fee.
For patients with sequelae of stroke like this, unless their condition is critical, most patients are treated at home. If they are in the hospital, even if there is improvement, there will not be much improvement within several months.
Only rich people can afford long-term hospitalization, and not just the rich, even middle-class families cannot afford it.
This is not the first time that the old man has fallen into a coma due to cerebral infarction. Yun Heng just performed acupuncture first aid, and then used a prescription and carefully nursed him back to health. The possibility of him falling into a coma again is low. After taking the medicine for a period of time, his symptoms will begin to improve.
"Doctor Yun, why don't we stay in the hospital for a while."
The patient's son and daughter discussed it and said to Yun Heng.
The City Center Hospital is larger, while the West Asia Hospital is smaller, so the fees are definitely lower.
The old man just fell into a coma again, and his son is still a little worried.
"Alright."
Yun Heng nodded, looked around, and saw Tian Zengming in the crowd.
"Doctor Tian, please arrange a ward for the patient, complete the admission procedures, and then come to me to get the medical instructions."
"Okay, boss."
Tian Zengming responded happily.
The doctor's orders had not been issued yet, and the follow-up treatment had not been discussed, but just because of the first aid he provided, the expressions of the people around him changed a little, and Tian Zengming felt very happy.
