Chapter 130130 The same disease both inside and outside & Romantic luck & Old Wang’s thanks…
That is, they all thought that Qi Peilan's fear of cold was a manifestation of stagnation of Yang Qi, which failed to reach the limbs, but they ignored the fact that according to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, fear of cold also has a professional term called "aversion to cold".
In traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, aversion to cold refers to the patient often feeling cold, which cannot be relieved by adding clothes, covering with quilts or getting close to the fire to warm up. This is how Aunt Wang's coldness came about. When she first came to see the doctor, Old Wang told her that she wore so many clothes every day and covered herself with a quilt every night, but she still felt cold. He had to get up in the middle of the night to make her very hot ginger soup to drink.
If we ignore the heat in her abdomen, this kind of cold is completely textbook chills, and the clinical significance of chills is mostly the early stage of exogenous diseases, commonly known as the early stage of a cold.
It’s not the fault of Shu Jinyue and Qi Peilan, two experienced doctors with many years of experience, for making such a low-level mistake. It’s because Aunt Wang’s illness lasted too long. With such a long illness, no one would think it was a cold - after all, who in the world would have a cold that lasts for a year? However, she happened to have the completely opposite symptom of abdominal heat, which misled them into thinking she had the same illness as Feng Chunxia.
"What? You mean, the patient has an external infection that has not been cured?" When they came to the clinic the next day, Jin Yue's words really shocked Qi Peilan. She pushed the wheelchair a few steps in Jin Yue's direction, "If it is an external infection, she doesn't have any symptoms of it?"
Most people know that exogenous diseases (colds) are characterized by dizziness, headache, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sputum, stiff neck, and sweating or no sweating. The only thing that can be linked to exogenous diseases is fever.
But it is hard to understand how fever, a non-specific symptom that occurs in dozens of diseases, can be associated with an exogenous disease.
"And most importantly, her pulse is not weak."
On the contrary, the pulse is sinking and floating, going in the opposite direction! If a doctor feels a patient's deep pulse and diagnoses it as a superficial symptom, it would be a huge joke, just like giving aspirin to a patient who is bleeding heavily. It is a very low-level mistake that can be known without even looking at the patient.
Shu Jinyue nodded, "Whether it's the symptoms, pulse, or medical history, they are completely different from the common superficial symptoms we see. This is what confused us at the beginning. In fact, her situation should be due to some reasons on the day of the quarrel last year, such as the weather, not wearing enough clothes, or eating something inappropriate, which led to the infection of external evil. A normal person would be cured after taking medicine and sweating, but she didn't take the medicine properly, and she didn't use the medicine for the right symptoms, which caused the external evil to stay in her body."
Jin Yue took a sip of water and continued, "In the past year or so, all the doctors have not considered the symptoms on the surface. They can only let the external evil penetrate deeper and deeper, from the epidermis to the deep skin, to the muscles, to the bones, to the internal organs. The deeper it penetrates, the more severe her aversion to cold and fever become."
Qi Peilan's eyes lit up. "Yes, it's just like two armies fighting each other. After the soldiers break into the city, the further they go into the city, the more severe the resistance will be. Chills and fever are the reactions of the struggle between good and evil and the battle between the two armies."
The more Jin Yue laughed, the more she discovered that Qi Peilan liked to use the word "fighting" to describe her treatment. In her mind, medicine, evil spirits, and righteous spirits were all several forces on the battlefield, which grew stronger while weaker, and restricted and depended on each other. This is due to Qi Huanxin's teaching since childhood. When Qi Huanxin treated patients, he often said things like "prescribing medicine is like employing soldiers", "if the medicine is right, the army will be defeated like a mountain collapsing", "it's like having a surprise attack", and these words appeared many times in his medical practice notes.
"The patient went to see a Chinese doctor, then a Western doctor, both complaining of fever and high fever. The heat-clearing drugs used by Chinese doctors and the antibiotics used by Western doctors are both drugs that damage the vital energy, which is like adding insult to injury and adding fuel to the fire. Her fever became more and more serious, and she became a 'contradiction' with a hot trunk and cold limbs."
Qi Peilan patted his wheelchair twice while speaking, "So, our current treatment strategy should be to do both, clearing away heat and relieving heat, treating both the exterior and the interior."
Shu Jinyue nodded, and Qi Peilan agreed with her, "Aunt Wang is still running a fever, which means that the positive energy can still fight against the evil energy. In addition, she has a good attitude, is strong and optimistic, so there is still great hope."
"She still spoke with a strong voice, was conscious, and had clear thoughts, which showed that her righteousness had not been completely defeated."
The two of them talked back and forth, and finally came to the conclusion that Aunt Wang could still be cured, and even without treatment, she could still hold on for a while.
"But, we think so, but we don't know if they will come."
Zhao Wanqiu had been listening silently beside him. At this moment, she hurriedly said, "I'll call them later. Doctor Wang left me their home phone number last time, but I don't know where I put it. Your dad found it out of his pocket when he was doing my laundry a few days ago."
The three female doctors present were all very responsible. Even if they prescribed the wrong medicine or said something wrong, they would explain it to the patient as soon as possible to minimize the loss. Faced with such a big progress, they would definitely find ways to notify Aunt Wang and persuade her to come again.
Jin Yue thought for a while, "Mom, when you call, try to persuade her to come. If she really can't get away, tell her to find a young Chinese medicine doctor, tell him our ideas, and ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription. She must take the medicine."
As for the prescription, there is no need for Jin Yue to review it personally, because young Chinese medicine practitioners have two advantages, that is, they are bold and the theoretical knowledge in textbooks is still fresh in their memory. There are several prescriptions for treating both the exterior and the interior, so it will be no problem to choose any one.
After figuring out Aunt Wang's condition, Shu Jinyue felt more relaxed, and the turbid air that had been stuck in his heart was finally released. "Let's have hot pot on Sunday night. Aunt Qi and Brother Lixin can come too. It will be more lively with more people."
Qi Lixin and Qi Peilan eat lunch and dinner in the clinic, not because they want to save money, but simply because they are busy and have no time to cook. In order to cater to the tastes of as many people as possible, the big pot meals are all very light, but they both like spicy food, which makes it difficult for them.
"Okay, I happened to be on vacation that afternoon, so I'll go buy some vegetables." Qi Lixin said while standing in the pharmacy.
Xiaotian, Xiaofang, Xiaocao and Xiaowang also heard what he shouted and started to make a fuss, saying that they also wanted to eat and that he couldn't just invite Brother Lixin. They wouldn't tolerate favoritism.
"Okay, okay, everyone come, everyone come. How about we just have a simple dinner and eat after we get off the night shift?" Otherwise, some people will get to eat while others won't, which is not conducive to unity.
Everyone was happier. How could having dinner be as fun as having a midnight snack? I still have to go to work after dinner, but I can go home and rest directly after having a midnight snack! Bosses who only use working days and do not use employees’ statutory holidays for team building are good bosses!
Shu Jinyue also began to look forward to this midnight snack. When he returned home at noon, he asked his second brother to prepare some ingredients and utensils for the barbecue. He thought that just eating hotpot would not be enough. Wouldn't it be even better to have a beer and some barbecue?
"You, don't eat anything that makes you angry."
"No, it's my daughter and son who said they want to eat. If they don't eat, they won't be able to sleep. If they make trouble for me, I will make trouble for you." Jin Yue glanced at Xu Duan, "I know what to do, don't worry about it."
Xu Duan smiled bitterly, there was really nothing he could do with her.
＊＊＊
Because she was looking forward to the team-building dinner on the weekend, Jin Yue was in a very cheerful mood at work for the next few days. She wanted to smile at everyone she saw. Just as she was thinking about this, Zhao Wanqiu suddenly came to her clinic and said, "Shh..."
The old lady pointed to the third consulting room in a mysterious tone, "Aren't you curious about what the Miss Lao you mentioned looks like? She's here."
There were no patients at the moment, so Shu Jinyue stretched lazily, "Is she really here? Is she here to see a doctor?"
Zhao Wanqiu gave a mysterious smile and said, "Listen carefully."
It was a voice full of tenderness. Just by listening to the voice, one could not help but wonder what a gentle and charming woman that must be, and what kind of beauty that must be!
"Aunt Qi, the method you mentioned last time really works. Since I took Shugan Powder, my period has come on time and it doesn't hurt at all."
"Aunt Qi, how are you feeling recently? These are the gloves I crocheted myself. When the weather gets cold in a few days, you can wear them so that your hands won't feel cold when you rest them on the wheelchair."
Of course, Qi Peilan refused. She was not that squeamish and rarely wore gloves. "Usually it was Li Xin who pushed me, and I kept my hands in my sleeves."
"That's perfect. I knitted a pair for Brother Li Xin as well. Don't look down on me for being clumsy. Just wear them. Why isn't he here today? I told him to try them out and I'll modify them if they don't fit."
After hearing this, Shu Jinyue finally understood what was going on. No wonder his mother had that smile on her face.
It turns out that Sister Lao has some ideas about Qi Lixin.
"You said Li Xin is not young anymore, about the same age as Xiao Xu, almost 40. He was delayed in the village before, but now he is out, has a stable job, and his condition is basically stable. It is indeed time for him to consider his personal problems."
It was not surprising at all that some female comrades fell in love with Qi Lixin, because he looked quite good, tall and thin, with fair skin, clean and tidy, gentle but resolute character. Plus, his income in the clinic was not low, and he had an old mother who had much money and little to do, and whose salary was much higher than his. Such conditions were very popular in the blind date market.
"But why did Sister Lao..."
These are two people who have nothing in common.
"You forgot that Li Xin just bought a courtyard house last month."
Shu Jinyue suddenly realized, that's why. The mother and son of the Qi family still haven't got the dowry back from Qi Jingtian, but they have saved a lot in the past two years. Last month, they pooled their money together and bought a small courtyard house. Although the area is not large, it has everything, is clean and warm.
"When we bought the courtyard house, the middleman we found was Sister Lao's neighbor. Sister Lao probably learned about this from there." So, from then on, Sister Lao often came to see Qi Peilan for medical treatment. Her illnesses were not serious, just irregular menstruation, indigestion, etc. After the treatment, she would give Qi Peilan some small gifts as a thank you. After a while, didn't they become familiar with each other?
Qi Lixin has a youthful face and a clean temperament, which makes it easy for people to overlook his real age. Besides, both mother and son have high salaries and stable jobs, and now they have bought a courtyard house. Aren’t they even more popular? Even when he didn’t have a house, women still liked him. Now that his financial conditions have improved, even Sister Lao has taken the initiative to make advances on him.
"Her previous suitors seemed numerous and wealthy, but none of them were legitimate."
Shu Jinyue sighed, this Sister Lao is really flexible and proactive in pursuing her younger brother. It is said that when Jinyue was not around a few days ago, she had come to deliver mung bean soup to the mother and son of the Qi family several times.
"Qi Peilan knew what she meant and refused every time. Qi Lixin was stupid at first, but he continued. To thank her, she asked him to go to her house to help her repair the sewing machine, mend pots, sharpen knives, and seal windows."
The funnier Shu Jin is, the more he likes. Qi Lixin is a typical straight man. He thinks mung bean soup is just mung bean soup, so he just eats it. When the other person says there is chores to do at home, he thinks it's a good opportunity to thank them back as soon as they open their mouths, so he goes to help. Who knew that after helping once, there would be a second thank you, and then he would help back again, and then there would be a third thank you... This cycle goes on and on, and no one knows when it will end.
If the "help" is accompanied by some unintentional physical contact and a few heartfelt words, the relationship will naturally be different.
"Qi Lixin is such a fool, it's useless for him to grow so big."
Shu Jinyue was a little curious, "Mom, why do you seem to have a problem with Sister Lao?" Logically speaking, the two of them should not have had much contact. If she hadn't mentioned it last time, no one in the family would have noticed this person.
"It's not an opinion, I just don't like her."
"Ah? Why?"
Zhao Wanqiu hesitated, "I always thought she looked familiar. The nurse upstairs asked me if I remembered her a few days ago."
"Later I remembered that I must have met her before, in the district hospital, before I retired. She was in cahoots with the head nurse of our department."
If it were someone else, she might have forgotten what she looked like after so many years, but she couldn't forget Sister Lao's charm even if she wanted to.
"She is the niece of our head nurse. I was the one who took care of her mother's diabetes back then."
Speaking of diabetes, Jin Yue remembered a typical case that my mother used to talk about: "Don't think that people won't die from diabetes." The typical case was the diabetic patient who ate candies secretly and refused to admit it, and finally died from foot soaking. The patient was the sister-in-law of their head nurse.
"The patient was hospitalized due to infection and died even after amputation. Her daughter, this Sister Lao, was only a teenager at the time. She came to my department in mourning and made trouble for me. I remember it very clearly." She was deeply impressed by the fact that a teenage girl had the charm of an adult woman.
Zhao Wanqiu was not popular in the department to begin with, and ended up getting into such a big trouble. The department director and the head nurse really disliked her. "Those two years were when our family was the poorest, and I even had two months' salary deducted. It really makes me angry just thinking about it."
The most infuriating thing was not that her salary was deducted, but that she had done nothing wrong. She was even the first person to discover that the patient had eaten candy, and she promptly found the reason why the patient's blood sugar could not be lowered. She was the most responsible medical staff. However, because of the unreasonable behavior of the patient's family, the hospital decided to settle the matter according to the rules.
Zhao Wanqiu was wronged and her heart was chilled.
"She probably has forgotten me, but I remember her."
Shu Jinyue of course shared the same hatred with her mother, "Okay, then I hate her too. Let's remind Qi Lixin not to be fooled."
"Alas, what's the point of reminding her? She is just a fairy from the Spider Cave, charming and alluring. Li Xin, who has only seen a few women in his life, has already been mesmerized by her."
"But you see, Aunt Qi doesn't like her." The whole time, Sister Lao was praising her and trying to please her, but Qi Peilan had an indifferent attitude and refused everything. She just didn't chase her away because of her upbringing.
Zhao Wanqiu thought about it and felt a little better. "It's better if they don't do it, otherwise the trouble they cause in the future might affect our clinic."
Shu Jinyue certainly knew this. It was not that she was conceited, but the income of the clinic was too high, and Sister Lao's temporary worker salary was too low. She might really want to come to the clinic to work. If Qi Lixin was also confused and came to her for begging, it would be difficult for Jinyue to deal with it.
Did she think it wasn't lively enough to have such a charming and cunning person come to the clinic? If she also brought in her cousin, the head nurse's daughter who graduated from a medical school and hasn't worked for many years and has been living off her parents at home... the more Shu Jin thought about it, the more her scalp tingled.
The key point is that Qi Peilan is now the backbone of the clinic, and Qi Lixin is also the main force in the pharmacy. If they are offended, the operation of the clinic will be affected.
But thinking about what Xu Duan had been investigating recently, Jin Yue felt relieved again, "Mom, you can put your mind at ease. They will definitely not succeed."
But Zhao Wanqiu misunderstood, "Do you mean that Li Xin has a partner?"
"How would I know, but that's not the reason."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhao Wanqiu became more suspicious. She thought that Qi Lixin must be secretly in a relationship and was caught by Jin Yue. She also promised to keep it a secret for him.
Humph, Jin Yue’s little mouth is so tight.
When Xu Duan came back in the evening, Jin Yue immediately asked him how the investigation went, "Is this Miss Lao not going to last much longer?"
"Well, there are already clues from Li Xiangdong."
"What clue?"
Xu Duan washed his hands carefully with soap and touched her slightly protruding belly. "You, how can you be so gossipy? I just provided the clue to Li Xiangdong, and Li Xiangdong found out her social connections in the past few years. She often went to the construction bridge, where there happened to be a gang of unlucky war reserve materials. The police had been preparing to close the net for a long time, but because of the appearance of Sister Lao, they planned to postpone it for a while to see if they could dig out something more."
Shu Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
But what she was more concerned about was, "Do you think the child who was lost in Xinghua Hutong that year was also related to her?"
"It is definitely related because on the day the child went missing, someone saw her staying at the free market under the Jianshe Bridge for a long time and she didn't even go home that night."
It is indeed a bit suspicious that a young widow who has few relatives or friends in the book city would not return home at night.
"It would be great if we could find it back. The child's parents have not moved yet. Even the stone lions at the gate were to be renovated last year. They went to the street office to apply, begging if they could not move the stone lions at their gate because there were drawings and words written by the child when he was a child on them."
After the repair, the traces left by the child’s little hands are no longer retained, as if he had never been to this world.
After the renovation, what if he comes back one day and can’t find his home? The stone lion he painted himself is like a lighthouse on the sea. It doesn't matter if you get lost. One day, the child will see the lighthouse and find his way home.
Director Niu of the Street Office is about to retire, and this project is his biggest priority before retirement. He will not allow the work to be delayed because of such a "small matter". However, Li Yulan rejected all objections and supported the parents, saying that law enforcement must also be compassionate. Improving the living environment of the people is a good thing, but their homes cannot be changed to look like no home.
Later, when Hu Guizhi, who had come to inspect the grassroots level, learned about this, she praised Li Yulan, saying that she was warm-hearted in her work and truly considered the people. She was a true public servant and a good leader for the residents.
Because of the words "good director", the atmosphere in the street office changed immediately. People who originally looked down on her for not having a diploma began to take the initiative to make friends with her, especially Sister Qiao, the gold medal fence-sitter. Even though she was about to retire, she personally visited Li Yulan's home with gifts and chatted with her for half the night.
This has also led to a rumor in the Xinqiao Subdistrict Office that as soon as Director Niu retires, Li Yulan will become the new director of the Xinqiao Subdistrict Office, the first female director in history!
"It's true that the people below can read and understand a sentence from the leader, interpret it in various ways, and analyze other intentions." Jin Yue laughed, "Aunt Hu probably didn't expect that her casual words would actually change Yulan's fate."
Logically speaking, the lack of academic qualifications is Li Yulan's biggest and most fatal flaw. Although she has attended night school in recent years and has improved a lot, the Organization Department's files show that she is illiterate and has not even attended a formal literacy class. The ceiling for her position as deputy director of a street office is already too high.
"By the way, Aunt Hu, is everything going well after being transferred to the Central…?"
She was not used to calling her all the time before, and now that she has moved to Beijing, it is even more difficult to call her.
After Xu Duan said a few words, Jin Yue began to yawn.
"Go to bed. You don't have to go to work tomorrow morning. Sleep a little longer."
After lying down, Jin Yue's belly began to become obvious, and it looked like a small pear.
"No, there are two pears. Brother, be good and don't squeeze your sister."
Shu Jinyue was not satisfied, "Who said it must be a brother and sister? It could also be a sister and a brother."
"Boys are supposed to protect their sisters."
"Then look at Mengmeng. Does she need someone to protect her? We don't need to emphasize gender. If there are no boys, then girls should be protected. If there are no boys, then girls should be masculine and gentle. They are the best gifts no matter what they are."
Xu Duan was really Shu Linong's son-in-law in this regard. He sneered: "My son must be masculine in the future and not act like a sissy. Otherwise, I will beat him to death."
"What about the girl? A gentle little girl can easily suffer."
Xu Duan hesitated for a moment, "Then it would be better to be more aggressive."
I won't do it now. There's no need to argue over a problem that hasn't even appeared. I might as well just ignore him out of spite. What a stinky man, so feudal!
***
Two days later, Old Wang and his wife really came. As soon as they entered the door, Jin Yue found that the old couple were in a very bad mental state.
"What's going on?"
"It's a long story. Our unfilial son... We have officially severed our relationship this time. I have already sued him in court. I don't need him to support me in the future. Now he can't even think of taking a penny from me. We have notarized the estate and he will not be allowed to inherit it in the future."
Old Wang was furious. When Jin Yue was looking forward to having his own child, he could not imagine the heart-wrenching pain of severing the parent-child relationship.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to them. Aunt Wang's face looked gray and miserable. If I have to describe it, it's like the grayish-green layer inside preserved eggs.
Shu Jinyue felt the pulse and found that it was not good. "You took a risk this time. You should seek medical treatment on the spot after receiving the call. Don't rush around." "Well, we also thought that we came here to see a doctor and to stay here for a while."
"Yes, we like the climate of Shilan very much. The scenery here is beautiful, the people are simple and honest, and the food is similar to that in Shanhe Province. Instead of staying in our hometown and being disturbed by that unfilial son every other day, it is better to stay here for a while."
This was the second time they said they liked this place. Jin Yue listened quietly. This time, Old Wang's tone was different from last time, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
"How long can the hospital let you stay?"
Old Wang choked up, "Humph, they treat me like a beast of burden, so naturally they don't want to let me go. Anyway, I'm almost old enough to retire, and they can stop me once, but they can't stop me from retiring!"
Aunt Wang laughed and said, "Doctor Shu, don't listen to his nonsense. Please prescribe medicine for me. I can't wait to take your medicine."
Jin Yue quickly wrote out a prescription, "We don't have a place to make medicine in our clinic. Do you think it's convenient to make it at the guesthouse? If not, you can make it at my house. My dad is idle anyway, and he would be happy if you go and talk to him."
The old couple was delighted. "Is this convenient?"
"It's convenient, convenient." They have been keeping stinky tofu in the slum for a week, so cooking some Chinese medicine is nothing.
The old couple got the medicine and happily returned to the guesthouse. "My dear, take a rest. I'll go cook it and bring it back to you when it's done."
Aunt Wang refused to accept it. "Forget about your bad temper. Don't do anything to offend others. Xiaoshu is a good child. You should also be nice to her family. Be polite and don't put on a bad face... Forget it, I'm worried about you going alone. Let's go together and buy some fruit on the way. You can't go empty-handed."
Old Wang shook his head, "Don't bother, don't buy it."
"Hey, you old man, why are you so disobedient? We are bothering others by making medicine, how can you not even thank us?"
Old Wang thought for a moment, "I will thank Xiao Shu, not these kilograms of fruit. Do you remember what I said last time?"
Aunt Wang thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Are you talking about the Hong Kong businessman who came to you to build a hemodialysis center?"
"Yes, in theory, hemodialysis is under the jurisdiction of the Nephrology Department, but the Nephrology Department and Hematology Department of our provincial hospital have never been separated. They are small departments within the large internal medicine department. In addition to my experience in the hematology department, I also have some experience in the nephrology department."
Aunt Wang found it funny. This old man was still modest. He had been doing this for decades. Could that be called “having some experience”? It can be said that at present in this field, he is second to none among domestic experts, and no one dares to claim to be first.
