Lawrence listened to Xue Wei's translation and understood the patient's condition.
Appendicitis is now considered a minor problem clinically, and appendectomy is now mostly non-invasive. Traditional open appendectomy is no longer common in many hospitals.
After appendicitis surgery, patients can almost be discharged from the hospital immediately and rarely need to stay in the hospital for recuperation.
It’s just that pregnant women will be affected to some extent.
The patient's family did not agree to the surgery, and under the premise of conservative treatment, the limitations of Western medicine treatment immediately became apparent.
Pregnant women are very cautious when using medication in clinical practice. Not to mention appendicitis, even for a common cold, pregnant women generally dare not take medicine casually. If they can resist it, they will resist it. If they can't, they will go to a slightly larger hospital, for fear that the medication will have any impact on the child.
Under this premise, Western medical treatment is greatly limited, which Lawrence is also aware of.
"Doctor, my daughter-in-law finally got pregnant with this child. You must pay attention to her."
The patient's mother-in-law hurriedly said.
Infertility has become a very common problem in recent years.
On the one hand, young people don’t really want to have children. On the other hand, the problem of infertility is generally serious. In addition, there are few children nowadays, so every family treats them as treasures.
Not only children, but also pregnant women are well cared for in many families.
"This is Director Chen Fanming. Director Chen was previously the chief physician at Jingdu Hospital and is very experienced in gynecology."
Guo Youtang introduced it to the patient's mother-in-law.
"Excuse me, Director Chen."
Chen Fanming nodded without saying anything. He observed the patient and took his pulse.
Lawrence beside him couldn't help but walk a few steps closer and watch with wide eyes.
For Lawrence, this was the first time he had seen Chinese medicine diagnose an illness.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always been disapproved of internationally, but its popularity is quite high. Lawrence has heard of it but has never seen it.
Lawrence knew about acupuncture, but the Chinese medicine's "looking, smelling, asking and palpating" were quite rare scenes for Lawrence.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Chen Fanming asked while feeling the patient's pulse.
"Nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain."
The pregnant woman said with a frown.
"It's still a little hot."
Chen Fanming asked.
"I do have a slight fever, 38.1°C."
Guo Youtang said on the side.
"How was dinner?"
Chen Fanming continued to ask.
After touching for about four minutes, Chen Fanming released the patient's wrist and checked the patient's lower abdomen.
"Does this part hurt?"
"Does it hurt when you press it?"
After the examination, Chen Fanming stood up straight and said, "Fever, nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal tenderness, rebound pain, and muscle tension. The pulse is floating, slippery, and tight, and the tongue is coated with a thin white coating. Judging from the pulse and symptoms, it is due to damp-heat stagnation in the intestines and congestion of qi and blood. A prescription for clearing heat, dispersing stagnation, and reducing swelling can be used."
For pregnant women with appendicitis, conservative treatment is very limited by Western medicine, which is indeed a difficult task for Guo Youtang.
However, this illness is just a minor one for Chen Fanming.
After all, he was the chief physician of Kyoto Hospital and was rated as a level nine expert by the panel, so he could handle the case with ease.
As he spoke, Chen Fanming wrote a prescription: "Take Da Huang Mu Dan Pi Tang with modifications internally, and apply the intestinal abscess patch externally."
Chen Fanming wrote a prescription, and Guo Youtang asked the resident doctor to take the patient's family to go through the procedures and pay the fees. In this case, hospitalization is required.
After all, it is pregnancy period. Even if the hospital does not allow hospitalization, the patient's family members are worried about going back.
"Xiao Chen's level is beyond doubt."
Kou Zhengfan smiled and shook his head, then walked away with Lu Cemin while talking.
If Chen Fanming cannot cure this disease, then Chen Fanming, the former chief physician of Kyoto Hospital, will be unworthy of his reputation.
Kou Zhengfan and Lu Cemin left first, Qi Yaping and others hurried to follow, but Lawrence was reluctant to leave.
"Is that all?"
Lawrence asked Xue Wei beside him.
He came here with Chen Fanming, and witnessed the entire process of Chen Fanming's diagnosis and treatment from beginning to end. He touched the patient's wrist, asked a few questions, and then prescribed a prescription.
Although Guo Youtang had also undergone an ultrasound before, it still seemed a bit of a joke to Lawrence.
"Yes, now I just have to wait for the medicine."
Xue Wei said with a smile.
Lawrence was still reluctant to leave, obviously wanting to keep an eye on the patient while he was taking his medication.
After Kou Zhengfan and others left, Lawrence went forward and asked the patient some more questions himself to understand the patient's condition in more detail.
Guo Youtang also answered the questions patiently. The patient's family was also very curious when they saw that he was a foreign expert. They answered whatever Lawrence asked, and Xue Wei acted as an interpreter.
After getting the medicine and completing the formalities, the patient was sent to the ward and Lawrence followed him all the way.
Although Leo was not a doctor, his curiosity was aroused and he wanted to see what would happen.
The patient was settled in the ward, and soon the nurse brought the patient some medicine and then applied an intestinal abscess patch.
Lawrence sat beside the bed like a caregiver and didn't leave. Hong Shuangmin was a little speechless. This foreign doctor was extremely persistent.
Lawrence stayed in the ward, while Qi Yaping accompanied Kou Zhengfan and Lu Cemin for another walk. Before they knew it, it was afternoon.
"So the foreign experts are still here?"
Kou Zhengfan and Lu Cemin were both about to leave, so they asked casually.
"Still here. It seems he's not going to leave until it's effective."
Qi Yaping said.
"One thing I have to admit is that foreigners are really energetic when they get serious."
Kou Zhengfan said to Lu Cemin with a smile.
"yes."
Lu Cemin smiled and nodded.
As they were talking, Kou Zhengfan and Lu Cemin left the hospital accompanied by Qi Yaping and others.
In the ward, Lawrence waited until seven o'clock in the evening, and the patient finally showed improvement after taking the medicine.
First, the fever subsided and the body temperature dropped to 37.3°C, and the patient's pain was relieved.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the patient told her husband that she was hungry. Her mother-in-law went to a restaurant near the hospital and ordered a bowl of sour soup noodles without chili and with little salt. The patient ate half a bowl in one go. Although she did not finish it, she did not vomit after eating it.
Lawrence watched the patient finish his meal and waited for half an hour. It was almost nine o'clock when he left the ward while shouting "Buy me some cake."
"call!"
Xiaoxiao followed behind Michelle Lin with a wry smile on her face: "You're so persistent! I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back."
"Just now, Ren Xuedong brought you some food. Don't think I didn't know and didn't even order some for me."
Michelle glared at Xiaoxiao. It was true that she was starving.
Since the guests didn't go to eat, Michelle and Xiaoxiao had no choice but to accompany them. Someone even secretly brought Xiaoxiao food, but she didn't get any.
I miss Yun Heng a little bit!
