Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"The patient developed dizziness, strong neck, extremely low vision, and blurred vision due to brain trauma three months ago. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon, and Dr. Gao is in charge..."

Zhang Kai looked at the patient's information and said hurriedly.

While Zhang Kai was talking, a middle-aged doctor in his 40s hurriedly walked in at the door of the ward.

"Director Tian, ​​Wu...Professor Wu..."

Seeing Tian Jikang and Wu Yaolin in the ward, Dr. Gao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

Obviously, Dr. Gao is late today.

The patient was admitted to the hospital yesterday. As the attending doctor, he must come for ward rounds as soon as possible this morning. Dr. Gao came now and was already 10 minutes late.

Tian Jikang glanced at Dr. Gao and resisted reprimanding him in front of Wu Yaolin and the patient.

"Xiao Chen, take a look first." Wu Yaolin said to Chen Yang with a smile.

Chen Yang sat on the edge of the hospital bed, checking the patient's pulse and asking about the situation.

As Zhang Kai said just now, the patient developed dizziness and other symptoms due to brain trauma more than three months ago. He had been treated with Western medicine before, but after a period of treatment, there was no effect, and the condition even worsened.

Now my eyesight is worse and my dizziness symptoms are more serious. As the weather turns colder during this period, my condition is getting worse, so I came to the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to try my luck with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

"How's the food?"

Chen Yang asked while feeling for his pulse.

"It's okay to eat."

"What's the current level of vision?" Chen Yang asked again.

"It used to be that you couldn't see clearly from one meter away, but now it seems to be only about half a meter."

"Open your mouth and let me take a look at the coating on your tongue."

After checking the pulse, Chen Yang said to the patient.

"what......"

The patient opened his mouth and Chen Yang took a look at the tongue coating. He found that the tongue was red, the coating was slightly thick, the sublingual meridians were tortuous, and the pulse was thin, stringy and astringent.

Chen Yang pondered slightly. Judging from the pulse, the patient had insufficient righteousness and stagnant liver pulse...

Seeing Chen Yang pondering, Zhang Kai added from the side: "The patient was previously examined at the central hospital and was diagnosed with traumatic optic nerve damage, which is said to be difficult to recover from."

"Ah."

The patient is a middle-aged man in his early 40s. Accompanying him is the patient’s wife. The patient’s wife said: “The doctor over there said that this condition is basically difficult to cure, so we can only give it a try. He suggested that we Seek a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine...see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine for a look."

The patient's wife almost said she was bald.

Obviously, what the patient's wife just said was to try her luck with a Chinese medicine doctor.

Nowadays, when Western medicine treats patients, only when there is really no other way will they tell patients and their families to try their luck with traditional Chinese medicine.

As long as there is a way, whether it is surgery or expensive medicine, I will definitely not give up. I rarely hear Western doctors say that treatment is a bit expensive. You should find a Chinese doctor to take a look at this kind of thing.

When Zhang Kai said this, he was actually trying to help Chen Yang feel better.

Generally speaking, most of the people who can serve as monitors in college are well-rounded and have high emotional intelligence.

Zhang Kai comes from a good family, loves to show off, and loves to brag, so Li Ziyang and others don't like him very much, and think Zhang Kai is unreliable, but people like Zhang Kai can really get along well in society.

For example, he is very discerning, knows how to please people, is flexible and flexible, and knows how to flatter others. Otherwise, why would Zhang Kai and Wen Haodong have the best relationship in the entire department?

Seeing that Chen Yang and Wen Haodong knew each other, it was obvious that Tian Jikang and Wu Yaolin were accompanying Chen Yang. Even a fool knew that Chen Yang was not simple.

"Chen Yang, what do you think?" Wu Yaolin asked.

"Although the patient's optic nerve was damaged due to trauma, there is still hope of recovery." Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said cautiously.

"Are you telling the truth?" the patient asked excitedly.

"From the perspective of pulse syndrome, in traditional Chinese medicine, the patient's condition is stasis of the liver meridian of Zujueyin caused by trauma, stagnation of yang qi, turbid evil rising and reversing, turbid yin not descending, and blurred vision occurs."

Chen Yang said: "In Chinese medicine, upper and lower are distinct, turbid lower and clear upper. If turbid evil does not subside, it will inevitably affect vision, and symptoms such as dizziness and headaches will also occur."

In traditional Chinese medicine, heaven is yang, earth is yin, clear is yang, turbid is yin, yang rises and yin falls. According to the theory of relativity, this is the characteristic of yin and yang.

Hot is Yang, and Yin is cold. Relatively speaking, Yang has the attribute of rising, and Yin has the attribute of descending.

Of course, this is only relative.

In fact, some Chinese theories are really the ancestors of the theory of relativity. The theory of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine is actually the earliest theory of relativity. Many people do not understand the division of yin and yang because they do not understand the relative relationship between yin and yang.

In different situations, yin and yang are different. They are not specific, but relative. In this environment, relatively speaking, it is yang, but in another environment, it may be yin.

Now for patients, if the yin and turbidity does not fall, and the gods are above, the yin and turbidity will definitely affect the gods, and the gods in Chinese medicine are consciousness, mental power, thoughts, etc., and dizziness and blurred vision will occur. Wait for the situation.

"So according to the patient's condition, it can increase yang and replenish qi, soothe the liver and regulate qi, remove blood stasis and unblock collaterals, replenish essence and improve eyesight." Chen Yang said.

Listening to Chen Yang's analysis, Tian Jikang's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

No wonder Wu Yaolin would accept a disciple like Chen Yang, this young man is amazing.

Zhang Kai beside him was even more stunned.

We are all classmates, have nine years of compulsory education, go to the same high school, and go to the same university. Why is Chen Yang so good?

Zhang Kai could guess that Chen Yang might be of good quality, otherwise Wu Yaolin and Tian Jikang wouldn't have thought so highly of him, and Professor Wu would personally lead them.

But Zhang Kai still underestimated Chen Yang.

"Not bad."

Wu Yaolin smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, you have a very good entry point in dialectics. The patient's illness is indeed caused by trauma, but from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are different insights."

Wu Yaolin knew some of the medical cases that Chen Yang treated, so Wu Yaolin really valued this student, and Chen Yang also made Wu Yaolin very embarrassed today.

"How should I use the medicine?" Wu Yaolin asked Chen Yang.

"You can use peach kernel soup to flavor it." Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said.

"Come."

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, wrote the prescription, and handed it to Wu Yaolin.

Wu Yaolin took the prescription, looked at it, and then helped modify it.

"Look at this prescription." Wu Yaolin handed the prescription to Chen Yang.

"Psyllium seeds, peach kernels, safflower..."

Chen Yang read it over and couldn't help but sigh. Wu Yaolin deserves to have an eighth-level pharmacology level and a ninth-level internal medicine level. This prescription is much more sophisticated than what Chen Yang himself prescribed.

Among them, clearing away heat and diuresis, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredging collaterals and relieving pain, dispelling wind and improving eyesight, and relieving the symptoms of acute and severe diseases are all taken into consideration.
