Chapter 670: Xenophilia



"Why are you back again?"

He Yongfei was sorting medical records in the duty room when he saw several people who had left before coming back.

"Let's find Dr. Yun."

Brother Fei said in a familiar voice, "Just now, Brother Fei noticed that our friend was... not okay. He was a little reluctant to see the doctor, and we tried to persuade him for a long time."

Qingzi glared at Fei Ge. If Xiaotong hadn't been there, Qingzi really wanted to beat Fei Ge up.

To be honest, these people are not very close. They just knew each other in the group. If there weren't two girls, Xiaotong is pretty and the other one is not as pretty as Xiaotong but not ugly either, there would be no need for them to get together.

A few grown men got together, they were not relatives or friends, some of them were online friends, but not many after all.

Phineas doesn't care.

He is sick, and several people are making fun of him. Qingzi is not okay, so why should he save face?

Why?

"Doctor Yun just went to the clinic."

He Yongfei greeted politely: "Wait a moment, Doctor Yun will be here soon."

"Isn't Doctor Yun seeing patients today?"

Xiaotong asked.

"Doctor Yun only sees patients one or two days a week now, but he's the most skilled doctor in our Traditional Chinese Medicine department. When other doctors encounter difficult cases, they always ask him to come over."

He Yongfei explained.

"Then the level of your hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department is quite..."

Qingzi was unhappy and spoke without restraint, but before he could finish his words, Xiaotong glared back at him.

"You guys sit down, I'll go take a look."

He Yongfei originally didn't intend to care, but after hearing this, he became unhappy. He stood up, went outside, and came back after a walk.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Yun is busy right now. You and Doctor Yun had an appointment before, and Doctor Yun also has to make time, so..."

"No, what do you mean?"

Phineas asked.

"It's very simple, just register and make an appointment."

Another said, "We cut in line before, and you want to cut in line again this time?"

"We really can't always seek special treatment."

He Yongfei said politely.

Damn, you look down on Dr. Yun. Why are you coming to see him if you look down on him?

He Yongfei understood what Qingzi said just now.

He Yongfei said that Yun Heng was the most capable, and Qingzi said, "That means the level of your hospital's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is also quite high."

The meaning is very clear. Yun Heng is the highest level person. How high can the overall level of the hospital be?

Since you look down on me, I'll say goodbye to you.

To be frank, Yun Heng’s current account is still difficult to log in.

If you want to make an appointment with Yun Heng, there are only two channels now. One is to queue up early when Yun Heng is in session, and the other is to go to the emergency department, but getting an appointment in the emergency department depends on luck.

In the entire hospital, Yun Heng is the most skilled doctor. This is the truth. All patients want to find the best doctor. Yun Heng has now become the technical leader and backup of the hospital.

At this moment, Yun Heng was called over by Jin Shijie.

"Doctor Yun!"

Seeing Yun Heng coming in, Jin Shijie hurriedly stood up, greeted him politely, and made way for him.

Yun Heng nodded, walked to the back of the examination desk, sat down where Jin Shijie was sitting, and first looked at the conditions of the patients registered by Jin Shijie on the computer.

The patient is a young man in his twenties, who was accompanied by his family.

Judging from the information recorded by Jin Shijie on the computer, the patient was a xenophile.

Pica, also known as pica or pica, refers to a special habit that gradually develops in infants or children during the eating process, and they chew and swallow foreign objects that they should not normally eat uncontrollably.

Most patients with pica are infants and children, and it is relatively rare in adults.

The young man in front of me is 19 years old and a freshman. The main symptom is that he can't control himself when he sees salt and can't help wanting to eat it. At home and at school, he always eats salt secretly, bag after bag.

This condition has been going on for more than two years. The patient has been to many hospitals but none of them have been effective. The patient's parents heard from others that the level of traditional Chinese medicine at West Asia Hospital is good, so they brought their child here.

This type of pica is relatively rare in clinical practice. This is the first time Jin Shijie has encountered one, and he really doesn't know where to start.

"Does it affect your appetite?"

Yun Heng looked at the records on Jin Shijie's computer and looked up to ask the patient.

"My appetite is fine, basically normal, eating and everything is fine."

The patient's mother said on the side.

"Do you feel thirsty after eating salt?"

Yun Heng asked again.

"No, I don't feel anything."

The young man shook his head.

“What does it feel like when you eat it?”

"It doesn't taste like anything, and it's not too salty. I just think it's very delicious."

"Come on, put your arms up."

Yun Heng asked a few questions, asked the young man to put his arm up, felt his pulse, and then checked his tongue coating.

The tongue is pale with a thin, white and slippery coating, and the pulse is slow.

After feeling the patient's pulse and checking the tongue coating, Yun Heng pondered for a moment, then waved to Jin Shijie and said something in his ear. Jin Shijie nodded and left the clinic.

Not long after, Jin Shijie came in with a pack of biscuits. The biscuits were salty biscuits, and the taste was suitable for normal people. Some people might even find them a little salty.

"Come, taste it and see what it tastes like."

Yun Heng took two biscuits and handed them to the young man.

The young man took the biscuit and ate it, saying as he ate, "It's pretty good, crunchy."

"What's that smell?"

Yun Heng asked.

"It doesn't taste like anything."

Yun Heng then looked at Jin Shijie: "Do you understand?"

Jin Shijie pondered for a moment: "Those who like salty things must have a bland taste?"

"Considering the patient's pulse, is it spleen dysfunction?"

Yun Heng nodded. "Xenophilia is indeed rare in clinical practice. The pathogenesis of this condition is often quite complex, and treatment is also quite difficult. In particular, some of the clinical manifestations of xenophilia are often very confusing."

"However, no matter what the disease is, when we diagnose it, we only need to grasp the pathogenesis, starting from the pulse and symptoms, ignore unimportant details, and don't be confused by strange appearances. In fact, sometimes the strangest symptoms are the simplest. The reason why we can't find the right treatment is often because the strangeness obscures the truth."

As he spoke, Yun Heng prescribed a prescription and said, "The patient has a pale tongue with a white, slippery coating, a slow pulse, and a bland mouth. This is what the pulse and symptoms indicate. Combining these, we can determine that the patient suffers from spleen dysfunction and internal dampness. We will use the method of strengthening the spleen and drying out dampness to treat it."

"The tongue is pale with a white and slippery coating, the pulse is slow, and the mouth is tasteless?"

Jin Shijie muttered softly, seeming to be lost in thought.

He had indeed been wondering why the patient liked to eat salt. Why, why?

The more entangled you are, the more confused you are, and the more confused you are, the more entangled you become.

But after Yunheng came, he didn't think about this problem at all. Instead, he judged that the patient had a bland mouth based on the fact that he liked to eat salt. He even did an experiment and came to the conclusion that the patient had a bland mouth. Combined with the bland mouth, he judged that the patient had a poor spleen function and internal obstruction of dampness and turbidity.
