Looking at the puzzled look on Fifth Senior Brother's face!
Su Zhengnan had no choice but to patiently explain to him the principles of the formula, including the roles of the principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs, as well as the dialectical reasoning behind it.
It should be noted that Yu Dehai's illness was not only syphilis, but also other diseases caused by syphilis.
These ailments eroded Yu Dehai's vitality.
In addition, he was allergic to cephalosporins, so even after seeing doctors at the Western medicine department for a long time, no one suspected syphilis.
This is why Yu Dehai's condition worsened over time.
Even if Western medicine could diagnose that Yu Dehai was infected with syphilis, it would be impossible to cure it completely.
While Western medicine can quickly achieve therapeutic effects in treating syphilis.
However, it is generally difficult for Western medicine to completely cure the disease, and the patient's condition is prone to relapse.
While traditional Chinese medicine treatment for syphilis may be slower and require a longer treatment period, it can generally lead to a complete cure if treatment is continued.
After listening to Su Zhengnan's explanation, Li Huai'an...
He couldn't help but sigh softly, and reached out to gently pat Su Zhengnan's shoulder, saying:
"Junior brother, your TCM diagnosis skills are becoming more and more refined. I am far inferior to you. It seems that you are truly the one who can inherit our master's mantle!"
"Hehe, senior brother, you flatter me."
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and get the patient the medicine according to the prescription. I think we should also inform the patient of the test results so that he is aware of the situation."
"Yes, we should talk to the patient about it."
Li Huai'an nodded. Patients have the right to know about their condition, and this cannot be hidden from them.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan followed Li Huai'an to Yu Dehai's ward again.
Li Huai'an handed him Yu Dehai's medical report and said with a serious expression:
"Mr. Yu, this is your test report. You have indeed been infected with syphilis. It seems that our previous approach was wrong."
"What?"
"I...I really have syphilis?"
Yu Dehai's face turned pale instantly, and he asked in a trembling voice:
"Director Li, is there... is there any hope for me?"
Su Zhengnan comforted him, saying, "As long as you actively cooperate with the treatment and take your medication on time, you can recover. It's just that the treatment may take a little longer."
When it comes to treating illnesses, we are the professionals!
If even a simple case of syphilis cannot be cured...
Then all my medical skills improvement during this period of time has been for nothing?
Su Zhengnan looked at Yu Dehai with a smile, his face showing a sense of composure and confidence, as if he did not take the syphilis disease to heart.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Yu Dehai's eyes, and he said repeatedly:
"Thank you, thank you, Director Li. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that I had syphilis!"
At this moment, Yu Dehai was in a state of utter despair; he didn't even know how he had contracted syphilis.
After all, he never went out and messed around; he only ever had his wife at home.
Su Zhengnan and Li Huai'an exchanged a glance, then suddenly thought of a question and said:
"Mr. Yu, syphilis is contagious, so you'd better have your wife come and get tested as well."
Yu Dehai's body trembled, and he nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Okay, I'll call her and have her come to the hospital for a check-up later."
"Well, everything else is fine. Don't worry, your illness can definitely be cured."
Su Zhengnan smiled and offered a word of encouragement, then followed Li Huai'an out of the ward.
Afterwards, Li Huai'an asked the nurse to take the prescription to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
As for how Yu Dehai contracted syphilis...
Su Zhengnan guessed that the infection of syphilis was caused by donating blood privately or using unsterilized needles in an unregulated hospital.
This isn't even ten or twenty years from now.
Clinics that sell blood for money illegally and even reuse needles are commonplace, with the most common practice being to disinfect them with alcohol.
Fortunately, this situation will soon change.
However, it's not so bad if it's just syphilis.
If he had been infected with AIDS, Yu Dehai would probably be so scared that he would jump off a building right now.
..............
The afternoon passed quickly.
Su Zhengnan had been busy all day with his fifth senior brother, Li Huai'an, and finally got off work.
After getting off work, Su Zhengnan took out his phone and called Liu Yifei.
"Hey, where are you now? I'm off work!"
“I’m at the restaurant where we had barbecue last time. Yan Yan is there too. Brother Su, you can just come over.”
"Jiang Yiyan is here too? Okay, I got it."
Su Zhengnan hung up the phone and then drove to the barbecue restaurant that Liu Yifei had mentioned.
After parking the car, Su Zhengnan walked into the barbecue restaurant and saw Liu Yifei and Jiang Yiyan chatting by the window, so he went straight over.
"Oh, Brother Su is here!"
Upon seeing Su Zhengnan appear, Liu Yifei's face instantly lit up with joy, and she greeted him:
"Brother Su, order whatever you'd like to eat, this meal is on me."
As she spoke, Liu Yifei handed over the menu.
Su Zhengnan took the menu and said, "I'll just eat whatever I want, I'm not picky."
As they were talking, he casually ordered a plate of grilled meat, and the rest were mostly vegetarian dishes.
Liu Yifei smiled and placed a piece of grilled meat on Su Zhengnan's plate, saying, "Brother Su, try this pork spine. It's quite delicious. I've already grilled it."
"Okay, thank you!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, then picked up the roasted meat that Liu Yifei had put in his bowl and put it in his mouth.
Jiang Yiyan, who was sitting to the side, watched Su Zhengnan and Liu Yifei's interaction and, as if she had discovered some secret, smiled and secretly winked at Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei smiled back, did not dodge, and generously gave Jiang Yiyan a wink.
"No way, you really started talking to Dr. Su?"
Jiang Yiyan suddenly felt that her brain wasn't working properly.
It's only been a short time since we last met!
How did these two end up talking?
When exactly did they start dating? How come there was no sign of it before?
Jiang Yiyan blinked and glanced at Su Zhengnan, then turned and whispered in Liu Yifei's ear:
"Tell me honestly, when exactly did you and Dr. Su start talking? How come I didn't notice anything amiss before?"
"Hehe, this is a long story, I'll tell you about it later!"
Liu Yifei blushed and replied softly.
Jiang Yiyan nodded and said, "Okay, let's see how you explain this to me later."
After saying that, Jiang Yiyan looked at Su Zhengnan, smiled, and put a piece of meat on his plate, saying:
"Dr. Su, try this! This is even better than the spine meat from before!"
"Uh, thank you!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and picked up the grilled meat offered by the other party, stuffing it into his mouth, seemingly unaware of the whispered conversation between Jiang Yiyan and Liu Yifei.
In fact, even if the two of them spoke very softly.
At such close range, nothing could escape Su Zhengnan's ears.
After all, his superb auscultation skills are no joke.
