It should be noted that Su Zhengnan's current skill in traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis by observation has reached the level of a national-level doctor, which is the same level his teacher, Master Gu, has reached.
This level of TCM diagnostic technique, while not quite reaching the level of "knowing the spirit through observation," has achieved a certain level of mastery.
But at least it has reached the point where one can make a decision based on what one sees.
Therefore, Su Zhengnan immediately judged that the comatose cafeteria lady in front of him was likely suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage, because only a cerebral hemorrhage could instantly cause the human brain to lack oxygen, thus causing a coma.
Without a second thought, Su Zhengnan squatted down, grabbed the other man's wrist, and quickly took his pulse.
Upon taking the pulse, Su Zhengnan immediately sensed that the other person's pulse was deep, thin, and weak, and his tongue coating was pale white, clearly indicating a deficiency of qi and blood!
Moreover, the patient was paralyzed and unable to use his body, and his complexion was sallow!
It only lasted for a moment.
Su Zhengnan then deduced that the cafeteria lady in front of him had definitely suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and that it was caused by a deficiency of qi and blood.
Cerebral hemorrhage, also known as intracerebral hemorrhage, refers to bleeding caused by the rupture of blood vessels within the brain parenchyma without external trauma. It accounts for 20% to 30% of all strokes, with an acute-phase mortality rate of 30% to 40%.
In Western medicine, cerebral hemorrhage is generally related to cerebrovascular lesions in patients, and the early mortality rate is very high. Most survivors suffer from sequelae such as motor impairment, cognitive impairment, speech and swallowing disorders.
Therefore, Western medicine does not have many good treatment options; its main focus is simply to save the patient's life.
However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine...
The onset of cerebral hemorrhage is not instantaneous.
Patients usually have underlying lesions in the early stages, which eventually lead to cerebral hemorrhage.
The cafeteria worker in front of me is in this situation. She has a severe deficiency of qi and blood in her body. Without timely treatment, she eventually suffered a brain hemorrhage and coma because her cerebral blood vessels could not bear the weight.
Faced with this situation, even though Su Zhengnan believed his medical skills were already very advanced, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Without hesitation, Su Zhengnan pulled out several silver needles from his pocket and quickly inserted them into acupoints such as Taixi, Ganshu, and Shenshu on the cafeteria aunt's body. At the same time, he instructed Zhou Zixuan, who had followed him:
"Sister Zhou, quickly call 120 and tell the ambulance to come as soon as possible."
At this moment, the blood vessels in the cafeteria lady's brain must have ruptured, otherwise she wouldn't have turned black and suffered from oxygen deficiency.
So even though Su Zhengnan performed acupuncture first aid on her, she still had to be taken to the hospital for surgery in the end, otherwise she might have suffered a stroke.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhou Zixuan nodded and quickly took out her phone to dial 120.
After performing acupuncture first aid on the cafeteria worker, Su Zhengnan simultaneously took out a century-old wild ginseng he carried with him, pinched off a bit of the ginseng rootlets, and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.
It's the century-old wild ginseng that was used to save a student who jumped from a building last time.
Su Zhengnan himself didn't realize that he had gotten into the habit of carrying silver needles and century-old wild ginseng with him at some point.
Perhaps it all started with that suicide attempt a few days ago?
Not long after the cafeteria lady swallowed the ginseng root, the dark complexion gradually regained some color, and she looked much better than before.
However, this was only an emergency measure.
If you want to wake the person from their coma, you'll need to have surgery to remove the bleeding from their brain.
Beep beep... Beep beep... Beep beep...
An ambulance siren blared throughout the Beijing Film Academy!
"Oh no, the ambulance is here! The ambulance is here!"
Upon hearing the siren of the ambulance, several cafeteria workers nearly jumped for joy.
Perhaps in their view, the arrival of the ambulance meant that Sister Chen was saved.
But what they didn't know was...
If Su Zhengnan hadn't given Aunt Chen first aid earlier...
Her body was probably already cold by now, and she wouldn't be able to wait for the ambulance to arrive.
Soon, several doctors and nurses got out of the ambulance.
What a coincidence!
It was Director Zhu Jiangcai from the Emergency Department of the Third People's Hospital who came again.
Actually, this is not really a coincidence.
Because the Third People's Hospital is the closest to the Beijing Film Academy, ambulances are usually dispatched from the Third People's Hospital first when an emergency call is made from there.
When Zhu Jiangcai arrived at the cafeteria of Beijing Film Academy, he glanced at the scene and was stunned when he saw Su Zhengnan there. Then he realized that the other party was the school doctor.
Immediately, Zhu Jiang stepped forward and asked Su Zhengnan directly, "What is the patient's condition?"
Su Zhengnan replied directly: "The patient is an auntie from our school cafeteria. The preliminary diagnosis is an acute cerebral hemorrhage caused by qi and blood deficiency. I have already performed first aid on her, and she is currently in stable condition."
"A cerebral hemorrhage? That can't be delayed!"
Zhu Jiangcai had no doubt about whether Su Zhengnan's diagnosis was wrong. He turned to the doctors behind him and instructed, "Quickly lift the patient into the car and take him back to the hospital for surgery immediately."
With that, Zhu Jiang nodded slightly to Su Zhengnan before hurriedly leaving.
Although he really wanted to chat with Su Zhengnan for a few more minutes before leaving.
However, the patient's condition was critical, and there was no time to stay. Zhu Jiangcai could only nod and say goodbye before leaving in a hurry.
Watching Director Zhu lead the group to take the unconscious cafeteria worker into the ambulance, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh, hoping there was still time to save her.
With a snap!
Suddenly, Su Zhengnan slapped his forehead and realized that he had forgotten to remove the acupuncture needles from the patient's body again.
"Never mind, I'll just call Director Zhu later and ask him to help me take it down."
Su Zhengnan sighed helplessly, then turned to Zhou Zixuan and asked, "Are you full? If not, shall we continue eating?"
"Uh... okay!"
Zhou Zixuan nodded blankly and followed Su Zhengnan back to their previous seats.
Afterwards, the two continued eating lunch.
The other cafeteria ladies looked at each other, and finally one of them couldn't help but step forward and ask Su Zhengnan:
"Dr. Su, um... Sister Chen, she should be alright, right?"
"Yes, the rescue was timely, so there shouldn't be any danger to his life. You can rest assured."
Su Zhengnan smiled and reassured everyone, but he didn't mention what would happen if the rescue wasn't timely.
