When the child's father sat down on the stool with the child in his arms, facing Luo Yahui and Chen Fanming, Luo Yahui and Chen Fanming both observed the little girl carefully.
In addition to being thin and listless, the little girl also had a sallow complexion, exposed veins on her forehead, and pale gray lips with a hint of blue.
"What's wrong with the child?"
Luo Yahui observed and asked.
"Doctor Luo, my child has been suffering from bronchial asthma since he was one year old. He's over four years old now. He's hardly ever left the hospital in the past three years. He can't even go to kindergarten. He catches colds easily, and when he does, he wheezes severely. He often has difficulty breathing, and his face turns blue from holding his breath. Every time he goes to the hospital, he's put on a ventilator right away, and he stays in the hospital for ten to twenty days..."
The person speaking was the child's mother. They knew the doctor's name when they registered.
At present, Yun Heng is naturally the most famous in West Asia Hospital, followed by Hu Xuezhong and Fan Zengfeng. Among the young doctors, Yue Shaojiang, Jin Shijie, Luo Yahui and Ren Xuedong are the most famous.
When Yun Heng was not around and patients came, the main force at Xiya Hospital was just a few of them.
"Doctor Luo, my child's condition has always been like this, over and over again, endlessly. Our whole family revolves around the child and we can hardly do anything..."
The child's mother's voice was filled with tears as she spoke.
Having such a child at home, not to mention the feeling of loving the child, is a huge burden on the family itself. The child is often hospitalized and needs to be put on a ventilator. A hospital stay can last for ten to twenty days. Not only does it cost money, but the family also has to take care of him.
The young couple's family background was pretty good. They were very happy when they got married and had their own daughter. It can be said that their life was quite fulfilling. Before the child was one year old, the couple felt that they were the happiest people in the world.
But as the child fell ill, bad luck began to befall him. The child's illness never got better and kept coming back, which made the couple exhausted. They lost their jobs, spent all their savings, and even owed a lot of debts.
They spent money and lost their jobs. If the child's condition improved, at least they would have some hope. But this goes on endlessly, over and over again. The couple is almost in despair. They don't know when these days will end.
Not only the child's mother, but the child's father also looked haggard and older than his peers, with red bloodshot eyes. When his wife was talking, the young man's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he hugged his daughter tightly.
"Doctor Luo, we came here specifically for the Xiya Hospital. We heard that the Chinese medicine here is very good. Please, Doctor Luo, please."
The little girl's mother was crying as she spoke.
"Don't get excited yet, let me take a look at the situation."
Luo Yahui comforted the child's mother, then felt the little girl's pulse and checked her tongue. After checking the tongue coating, Luo Yahui grabbed the little girl's hand and looked at her fingerprints, which were faintly light blue...
There are quite a lot of sick children at the Xiya Hospital. When Yun Heng first started working at the Xiya Hospital, most of the patients he faced were the elderly and children. Although the Xiya Hospital does not have a specialized pediatric department yet, several young doctors have learned from Yun Heng's carefulness and caution when treating children.
Therefore, Luo Yahui was very careful when examining the little girl and did not miss any details.
"The lips are pale grey with a hint of blue, the tongue is dark and pale, the coating is white and greasy, and the fingerprints are faintly pale blue... This is a sign of deficiency in the spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and a weakening of vital energy."
Luo Yahui conducted a thorough examination and then asked some questions before telling the child's parents, "The child has both congenital and acquired deficiencies. The mother must have been weak before birth, and she was a bit careless in taking care of the child after birth. Coupled with repeated asthma attacks, this has led to the continued damage of the vital energy, resulting in a weak exterior defense system, making it easy for the child to catch a cold..."
As he spoke, Luo Yahui prescribed a prescription based on the little girl's symptoms, which took into account both the symptoms and the root cause, and strengthened the spleen, kidneys and lungs.
In addition to oral medication, Luo Yahui also prescribed external medication.
"Go home and take three doses first. If your symptoms are relieved, continue taking the medicine and come back for a follow-up visit. If there is no obvious improvement after taking three doses of the medicine, you don't need to take it anymore and come back for a follow-up visit directly."
Luo Yahui also wrote down his phone number and handed it to the child's mother: "If there is anything, just call me directly. If you can't get an appointment next time, you can also contact me directly."
The little girl's situation was special, so Luo Yahui did not treat her as an ordinary patient. Especially in the early stages, he had to be extra cautious. If she couldn't get an appointment the next time, her treatment would be delayed, which would be another hassle for the patient's family.
"Thank you, Dr. Luo."
The child's mother took the prescription and Luo Yahui's phone number, then thanked him. The couple then carried their daughter out of the clinic.
After the little girl and her family of three left the clinic, Luo Yahui subconsciously looked at Chen Fanming.
"Not bad, great progress."
Chen Fanming smiled and said, "Your skills have always been pretty good, but when you were in our hospital, you weren't as confident. You were a little lacking in confidence when treating patients, and you weren't as calm and careful as you are now."
The little girl's condition just now is actually not simple. Western medicine has been unable to cure her for a long time and her condition keeps coming back. Even a Chinese medicine doctor without some skills may not be able to make a clear diagnosis.
It was rare that Luo Yahui was able to determine that the little girl's spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all deficient and her vital energy was weak. Asthma has always been a very troublesome disease.
This disease can be said to be both common and difficult to treat, especially for patients with a long course, especially for older patients, it is extremely difficult to treat.
Clinically, most patients under the age of fifteen have the possibility of complete recovery, but for older patients, the probability of recovery is quite low.
On the one hand, the patients are young and their bodies are still growing. The older the child, the fewer taboos they have. Children under the age of fifteen basically do not smoke, drink, and have regular meals. As for adults, it is hard to say.
Work, overtime, smoking, drinking, and diet are all key factors that affect recovery.
Although the little girl just now is only four or five years old, she has been suffering from recurrent asthma attacks for more than three years. Her vital energy is weak, and she is deficient both inside and outside, making it quite difficult to diagnose her.
“In fact, it’s mainly because there are many opportunities and the impact is great.”
Luo Yahui said: "In our hospital, even though I am a doctoral student, I am actually just used as a resident doctor."
Kyoto Hospital has the largest number of patients from other places. After traveling thousands of miles to Kyoto, who would be willing to just make an ordinary appointment?
There are so many chief experts that young doctors don’t have much chance.
“Well, atmosphere is important.”
Chen Fanming nodded. The opportunity Luo Yahui mentioned was one aspect, but the atmosphere was indeed very important. Now Chen Fanming understood a little why Qu Tongwen and Ji Fengwen regarded West Asia Hospital as a pure land.
