Chapter 69 Am I really unable to keep up with the times?
In ancient times, asthma was called "wheezing".
But later, with further refinement, asthma was divided into two types, wheezing and asthma.
The literal meaning is easy to understand. The former refers to asthma and rapid breathing, while the latter refers to rumbling in the throat, coughing, and wheezing.
Su Tang doesn't like to separate the two. In her opinion, most of the time, the two are inseparable. As long as one symptom appears, the other will follow. However, the severity of the symptoms will vary depending on the patient and the patient's physical condition.
But we don’t differentiate between wheezing and asthma, but we still have to differentiate between yin and yang.
The method of Yin-Yang differentiation and treatment based on positive and negative factors is the most common method of differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine today.
Ye Shuang's face was pale, with sweat on his forehead almost wetting his hair. He was holding his chest, breathing more in than out, breathing rapidly, looking tired, and coughing from time to time. Su Tang knew at a glance that Ye Shuang was suffering from the lung-congestion and kidney-deficiency type.
It was just that the patient had an asthma attack and had a severe reaction all over his body, so Su Tang did not give him acupuncture right away.
Instead, she chose to press the Feishu point, Shaoshang point and other acupoints first, and wait until Ye Shuang's symptoms were slightly relieved, and she no longer had to raise her head and cover her chest due to asthma attacks.
Su Tang observed the other person's expression, then gave a few instructions, took out the silver needle, aimed at the acupuncture points and continued the treatment...
The other people around couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene, especially Dr. Liu, who was closest to Su Tang and kept an eye on his idol all the time, and Xiong Wei, who looked even more shocked.
The two of them stood by and watched Ye Shuang's breathing gradually change from rapid breathing and purple lips due to lack of oxygen to normal breathing and the color of her lips returning to normal.
Ye Shuang only felt a stream of heat whirling through his body where the needle had pricked him.
This heat flow seemed to have a magical power that could soothe her originally anxious and depressed mood...
As her breathing became steady, Ye Shuang was able to lean back in her chair and talk to Su Tang properly.
"Dr. Su, thank you so much for coming today."
Ye Shuang had never thought that just singing a song at the company's anniversary celebration would lead to something like this: "If it weren't for you today, I don't know what I would do."
As her breathing became steady, Ye Shuang's face gradually turned red. Su Tang took a look and said with a smile, "It's just a small matter... Even if I'm not here, when the ambulance comes, they will still take care of you."
Ye Shuang shook her head, her voice still a little hoarse and sick, "That's different... Even if the ambulance comes, there will be no danger to life, but the pain is real..."
Ordinary people cannot understand the feeling of suffocation brought about by an asthma attack, but as a patient himself, Ye Shuang feels it deeply.
Seeing that the patient seemed to be frightened by this asthma attack, Su Tang thought for a moment and changed the subject: "Ms. Ye, did you not get an allergen test before because of your status and inconvenience in going to the hospital? Why not get a thorough test after you go to the hospital? This way, you can take precautions in advance and avoid this happening again next time."
Ye Shuang: “…Ah?”
Ye Shuang was stunned and looked at Su Tang with a bit of embarrassment. She always felt that the way Dr. Su looked at her was a bit like looking at an ignorant patient.
The agent stepped forward and explained, "Doctor Su, we did tests abroad many years ago, so it's not that we didn't take precautions... This time it was just an accident. We are always very careful and take soothing medicine with us. We don't dare to let Shuangshuang get cold..."
"Hmm, have you done this abroad before?..." Su Tang touched his chin, thought for a moment, and glanced at the agent again...
But after this glance, Su Tang couldn't retract her gaze. She stared at the agent with her brows furrowed.
The agent touched his cheek subconsciously, a little hesitant: "... Doctor Su? What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Su Tang blinked, came back to her senses and tried to retract her gaze and said, "I just thought about it. Although the medical conditions abroad were much better than those in our country before, the country has developed rapidly in recent years. For example, the Sixth Hospital can now test more than 600 items, including formaldehyde... The tests that Miss Ye did abroad a few years ago should not have so many types, so this time when you go to the hospital, I still suggest that you do a more detailed and comprehensive test."
"Okay, let's do as Dr. Su says."
The agent cleared his throat which had become a little dry from his anxious shouting, and decided on the next itinerary.
Su Tang, Ye Shuang, the agent and the other two were talking in the room, while the others were left behind. However, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
After all, Ye Shuang had just experienced a crisis, so it would be most accurate to listen to the doctor now.
As for the other doctors in the Sixth Hospital, they just looked at Su Tang, then looked at Ye Shuang's slightly rosy cheeks, and they couldn't help but look at each other subconsciously.
Especially Doctor Liu, until now, he couldn't take his eyes off Su Tang and Ye Shuang.
Before, Su Tang had always been right across from his clinic, with the two clinic rooms separated only by an aisle.
Even if Dr. Liu did not take the initiative to diagnose other people's illnesses on weekdays, he could occasionally see Su Tang treating patients in the outpatient clinic when he passed by or when the ward door was wide open.
At first, he thought the doctor was unreliable because of his young age. Doctors from other departments needed to be at least an intermediate-level professional title, attending physician, to work in the outpatient clinic. But the doctor was just a junior resident who had just been admitted to the hospital. If he were in their department, let alone working in the outpatient clinic, he would have to work as a handyman in the department for several years.
It would be good if such a junior doctor, who can only do odd jobs in their department for the time being, were really placed in an outpatient clinic and allowed to diagnose patients alone, so as not to cause trouble for others and increase their workload.
I didn't expect that in just over a month since he started working, not only had he poached several old patients from the department, but he was also able to calm patients with acute bronchial asthma attacks without any medicine...
Doctor Liu had a complicated look in his eyes. He always felt that this was different from what he had imagined about the hard struggle of a junior doctor. It was also completely different from his experience as a handyman in the gastroenterology department when he was first admitted to the hospital.
"Is it because I'm too old to keep up with the times?" Doctor Liu couldn't help but mutter to himself as he stood aside, feeling a little disappointed.
"Why think so much? There are geniuses and prodigies everywhere in this world. Aren't there many child prodigies on the Internet who finished junior high school at the age of 7 and entered university at the age of 10? You can see such things in social news every one or two years..."
Another gastroenterologist nearby, upon hearing what Dr. Liu said, patted Dr. Liu on the shoulder, put his arm on his shoulder, and said in a brotherly manner: "I just asked. Dr. Su is 22 years old this year. If he were a child prodigy who went to college at the age of 10, he would be holding a scalpel and standing as the deputy director... But he is still a resident doctor, so it's not so bad if you think about it..."
"But his acupuncture skills are really good." The doctor touched his chin and said, "I heard that it was a family tradition. He has been learning medicine from his grandfather since he was a child. So if you calculate it this way, maybe the time he spends practicing acupuncture is longer than the time we spend studying and working."
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel that it is normal for Dr. Xiao Su to have this ability.
All I can say is that he is a good doctor who is gifted, willing to work hard to study, and has some luck in being influenced by this since childhood.
…
A group of people chatted for a while in the room, and the ambulance rushed over at this time.
Two paramedics were carrying a stretcher, with a doctor running in with a first aid kit on his back, and staff accompanying them inside.
Seeing Ye Shuang in the room, she had recovered.
The three emergency workers were obviously very surprised, especially when they saw the silver needles still on Ye Shuang's body.
"What are you doing..." The leading doctor looked at Su Tang and the others and asked hesitantly.
"These are the doctors we just found in the concert audience. They helped Ye Shuang with first aid..." Secretary Zhou glanced at the agent and hurried forward to explain to the three people.
The emergency doctor was a little hesitant: "Then these silver needles..."
Su Tang walked forward and blinked, saying, "Don't worry about the silver needles. They will be removed in about 5 minutes. Please wait here for a while. I will remove the needles for Miss Ye later."
Since Ye Shuang's asthma has been relieved, there is no need to rush.
The three paramedics had no objections. If the situation was not really urgent, they would not want to rush to the ambulance with a patient with silver needles all over his body. Who knows in such a situation, the silver needles might be inserted deeper or accidentally broken due to carelessness, which would be troublesome.
Now that Ye Shuang's problem was solved, the staff who had to deal with the outside world all year round immediately relaxed and treated the medical staff who came to help as if they were distinguished guests. Not only did they give them water, fruit and Ye Shuang's autographed photos, they even took the initiative to ask them if they had any celebrity artists they particularly liked, and they could also help take them to get autographs.
Su Tang and Xiong Wei had Secretary Zhou and their agent with them, so naturally, there was no need for other staff to come forward.
After thanking the medical staff, the staff saw that the concert was almost halfway through, so they hurriedly sent the medical staff to the concert stands.
"Doctor Su, Mr. Xie asked me to take care of you today... I didn't expect that you would be the one who helped us so much today."
Secretary Zhou saw that the situation was under control and started chatting with Su Tang again: "Why don't you come with us for dinner later? Usually after our company's anniversary celebration concert, there is a large dinner party."
When Su Tang heard this, she asked reflexively, "Will Miss Ye's agent go?"
Secretary Zhou was stunned: "......?"
Wei Feng, who had just helped Ye Shuangjie onto the stretcher, subconsciously raised his head and looked at Su Tang blankly when he heard this: "...Doctor Su, you want to ask me?"
"I probably won't go... I'm planning to follow the ambulance to the hospital. I'll come back when Shuangshuang is stable and the doctor says she's fine." Wei Feng rubbed his cheeks, thought for a moment, and said, "But by then, the company dinner should have been over."
Wei Feng was a little confused. He didn't know why the doctor Su in front of him suddenly asked him this question.
Logically speaking, I have only met him twice today, so there is no reason for him to ask me alone.
But when I think of Su Tang's career...
Wei Feng suddenly felt a little flustered. Even Ye Shuang, who had just been put on the stretcher, subconsciously looked up at Wei Feng with a nervous expression.
