Chinese medicine doctor Xu Yang

After letting the family stay in the treatment room, Xu Yang went out for another consultation.

After a while, the medicine was cooked and Xu Yang gave it to the child.

The child's parents didn't want to stay in the clinic any longer. They wanted to go home, so Xu Yang left a phone number for them and told them to report the results to him when they got back.

Xu Yang continued to sit in the clinic until the evening. Recently, more and more people have caught colds. Xu Yang received several people here, all of whom had been cold for several days.

Most of them came to Xu Yang to give it a try after taking medicine for a period of time in the hospital, but it had no effect. In fact, this is also the stereotype of many people. They always feel that things like colds have nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine.

In fact, what they don’t know is that treating colds is the specialty of Chinese medicine!

In addition to these people, there are also some old customers. They trust Xu Yang very much, so whenever a family member is sick, they will contact Xu Yang as soon as possible.

Of course, Xu Yang doesn't have WeChat, and he doesn't have enough time to answer these inquiries. Zhang Ke was responsible for this matter before, but during this time Zhang Ke has left these matters to Song Qiang.

Song Qiang's treatment is also simple. Except for trauma, he will take over all other patients who come for consultation. Whether it can be cured, he will treat it first and then look at it!

Xu Yang's consultation fee is quite affordable. The consultation fee is 50 yuan, plus the cost of medicine. One treatment costs two to three hundred yuan. It’s not much different from going to the hospital. A check-up and a prescription for medicine in the hospital are about the same price.

Mainly covered by medical insurance, so it’s not expensive!

When it comes to whether taking Chinese medicine is expensive, what do you think? Some time ago, a little girl suffered from a rare disease. There was a specific medicine available, but it cost millions to get an injection, and she was not covered by medical insurance.

With millions of dollars in medicine, you can beat Chinese medicine doctors to death and still not be able to prescribe such expensive medicines. Generally speaking, a dose of medicine costs a few hundred yuan, at most.

This is the difference in cost.

But for common chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc., which require long-term use of Western medicine, the price of Western medicine is very low, usually a few cents or even a few cents a piece.

Moreover, the reimbursement ratio of medical insurance is often increased, and the ex-factory price is constantly lowered. It will only become cheaper and cheaper, and basically all families can afford it!

But if you take traditional Chinese medicine, let’s not discuss the doctor’s consultation fee. In terms of the cost of traditional Chinese medicine, a medicine can cost at least dozens of yuan, and more can cost hundreds. The price difference is very obvious.

However, as for Chinese medicine, you don’t need to take it all the time.

Traditional Chinese medicine is quite good at treating this kind of chronic disease. After eating for a while and your blood sugar and blood pressure stabilize, you don’t need to eat anymore.

Western medicine says that this kind of chronic disease cannot be cured, but clinically it has been found that some patients with high blood pressure and diabetes have not relapsed after taking traditional Chinese medicine for a period of four or five years. No problem.

I don’t know if this is considered a cure...but it is true that many patients’ conditions have stabilized, so if necessary, you can also get treatment.

…

In the evening, Song Qiang received a call from the parents of the child in front of him to report his condition.

The child's parents were quite excited. After taking the medicine, the child sweated a little and the high fever had subsided. It was originally 39.6 degrees and now it is 37.8 degrees. There is still a slight fever, but it is much better than before.

The original severe coughing and wheezing have also weakened a lot, and the fanning of the upper diaphragm is much better than before. Xu Yang happened to be there, so he came over to answer the phone and told them to bring the child over tomorrow as he needed a second diagnosis.

The parents of the child naturally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yang said to several young Chinese medicine doctors: "It's almost time. It's time to get off work. You all should go back. When you go back, go through today's medical records. Then..."

Everyone looked at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang frowned and said, "Then get familiar with the relevant discussions and syndrome differentiation points about colds."

Everyone was startled.

Xu Yuan asked: "Teacher Xu, do you suspect that you will catch a cold next time?"

Zhuang Zhuang said: "However, the hospital has indeed received a lot of patients with colds recently. The seasons change, and it is easy to catch a cold. I just don't know if it will become popular next!"

Xu Yang groaned: "I can't say for sure now, so you should get ready first!"

Everyone agreed and left.

Many people think that the word "cold" is imported, but it is not. Many syndrome differentiation medicines for treating colds have been discussed in the "Nei Jing" and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", but at that time there was no name for the disease.

It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that "De Renzhai Zhizhi Fang·Zhu Feng" mentioned "Cold Feng Lun": "Cure colds and wind evils, fever, headache, coughing, thick mucus and sticky saliva."

The name cold comes from here.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the disease was generally called a cold or a cold, and the two could be called nonsense!

Why is it called a cold? Because according to Chinese medicine, the biggest cause of a cold is the feeling of wind evil. Wind is the root of all diseases and is extremely fickle. Moreover, it can combine with cold, heat, dryness and other seasonal qi to cause illness, invade the human body, and make people sick! Hence the name cold!

Lin Peiqin, a physician in the Qing Dynasty, mentioned in "Treatment of Syndrome and Treatment of Colds": "When a cold occurs, cold and heat come and go, and there is no sweat for a cold, Shensu Yin, Ginseng Baidu Powder, and Shenshu Powder can be used."

This book clearly mentions the name of influenza, which is similar to what is now known as influenza.

From the perspective of Western medicine, there is a big difference between influenza and the common cold. The common cold is usually not serious and is not easily transmitted to people. The illness lasts about a week and often gets better on its own.

But influenza is different. It has a rapid onset and is highly contagious. It may cause complications such as pneumonia and myocarditis, and it also has a certain fatality rate.

The most well-known one is influenza A. It started in the United States in 2009. Changing the name may refresh your memory.

"Swine flu", yes, this is the swine flu of that year!

Later, the WHO conducted research and found that this name was less likely to cause people to be wary and that it was likely to cause people to think that pigs only get the disease, so it was later changed to H1N1 influenza A.

When the disease was at its most severe, tens of millions of people were infected at the same time, several countries became epidemic areas, and many people died.

It was not until specific medicines came out that more effective measures were available. However, this influenza virus has not been eliminated until now, and there will be waves every year. Parents with children should know that they have to be on tenterhooks several times every year!

…

After get off work, Xu Yang and Yao Bing were ready to leave.

Xu Yang turned to look at Zhang Ke. He thought for a moment, then went over and asked, "Keke, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Ke rolled his eyes and said coldly: "How can I feel uncomfortable?"
