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

In the outpatient clinic, when Chen Yang and Wu Mengmeng arrived, there were already patients standing at the door of the clinic waiting to watch from time to time.

"It's already nine o'clock!"

"Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

Many people have even cursed in their hearts. This doctor is really irresponsible. He should start work at 8 o'clock, but he is still not available at 9 o'clock.

"The nurses said it seems like the doctors are making their rounds."

As they were talking, Chen Yang and Wu Mengmeng finally arrived. When they saw the doctor coming and entering the clinic, the patients finally calmed down.

You know, waiting for someone is the most frustrating time, especially when you don’t know how long or when you will have to wait.

Now that the doctor has arrived, he has started calling out numbers. The patients at the front of the queue are already waiting at the door of the clinic.

"Doctor Chen, drink some water."

Wu Mengmeng got some water for Chen Yang, then took a stool and sat next to Chen Yang. After Chen Yang sat down, he turned on the computer and started calling numbers.

As their numbers were called, some patients pushed the door and entered the clinic.

Chen Yang is now the attending physician and works in the general outpatient clinic.

Although the difference between ordinary outpatient clinics and specialist outpatient clinics is only a few yuan, the ordinary outpatient clinics at the Medical Affiliated Hospital are 8 yuan, and the specialist outpatient clinics are 16 yuan. Although the difference is only 8 yuan, relatively speaking, patients are definitely more tolerant of ordinary doctors than specialist doctors.

You have made an appointment with a specialist, so you must see the doctor as soon as you enter the door. Generally speaking, the doctor is relatively young and has a bad attitude. The patient will feel that he has lost out by making an appointment with the specialist and may have met a fake expert with little skill.

If it is an ordinary number, it is already an ordinary number. It is luck to meet a good doctor, but if you can't meet one, just accept it calmly.

A mother and son came in through the door. The woman was in her early forties and the son was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"sit down."

Chen Yang greeted them and at the same time observed the mother and son who came in. Although the mother was in her early forties, she was dressed very fashionably and looked to be in her thirties. She was very young and beautiful, and wore light makeup.

The son looked a little listless. He coughed twice when he entered the door and didn't say much. It was obvious that he was sick.

The boy sat down on the chair opposite Chen Yang. Before Chen Yang could ask, the woman said, "Doctor, my son has a cough. At first I thought he had a cold, so I gave him some cold medicine. Not only did it not get better, it seems to have gotten worse. Now his voice is hoarse."

"How long have you been coughing?"

Chen Yang asked the boy, and then immediately said to the child's mother: "Don't say anything, let him talk."

The boy didn't say a word when he entered the door. It was the woman who was talking, so Chen Yang wanted to hear what the boy's current situation was.

When Chinese medicine is treating patients, the patient needs to walk around and talk, in order to discover something from the details.

As the saying goes, take a few steps when you have nothing to do.

The boy's mother was about to speak, but when she heard Chen Yang's words, she quickly shut up.

"Three days."

The boy spoke, his voice was hoarse, almost unable to make a sound, but if you didn't listen carefully, you could hear it clearly.

"Open your mouth and let me see." Chen Yang stood up and asked the boy to open his mouth and looked at his tongue and throat.

"What did you do and eat before you coughed?" Chen Yang sat back and continued asking.

"It was my classmate's birthday. We sang a song and had some snacks, such as chicken feet, peanuts, and rice crusts." The boy said slowly.

The boy couldn't help but complain, "I didn't do anything, but I got sick out of nowhere. It's annoying."

"It's actually a good thing to get sick occasionally. There's nothing to hate about it." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Is being sick a good thing?" the boy's mother couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, being sick appropriately is a good thing."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's just like braking. If you slow down occasionally, you can know if the brake pads are malfunctioning, and you can also better control the speed of the car to avoid any accidents."

"It's the same with our bodies. Every time we get sick, it's a reminder from our bodies to take proper rest and take proper care of our bodies. It's a reminder to put the brakes on our bodies."

"If a person never gets sick, he will think that his health is very good and he will indulge himself, such as staying up late and not exercising in moderation. Over time, he may not have any minor problems, but once something happens, it may be a big problem."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "In fact, many cases of sudden death are caused by long-term reckless behavior, which then leads to sudden accidents. If he had a minor illness before, he might have taken a rest, or had a check-up and made some adjustments."

"Doctor, what you said makes a lot of sense."

The boy's mother smiled.

Just now when Chen Yang said that being sick was a good thing, the boy's mother was a little bit unconvinced. But after listening to Chen Yang's explanation, the boy's mother felt that it made sense and her approval of Chen Yang increased a lot.

In the boy's mother's heart, she even felt that she had met a good doctor today.

"For some children, their tonsils are always inflamed, so some parents listen to someone and just remove their tonsils to solve the problem once and for all."

Chen Yang gave another example: "In fact, every time the tonsils become inflamed, it is also a signal, just like when someone falls into the water and shouts for help. If someone hears the shout, he may be saved."

"If you remove your tonsils, it's like blocking out your cries for help. No one can hear your cries for help, so naturally no one will save you."

"Every time we get sick, it's actually our body's cry for help. It's telling us that there's something wrong with it, that we need to rest, recuperate, and pay attention to ourselves."

"Doctor, what you said is very good." The boy's mother nodded quickly, and even the boy seemed to be listening with great interest.

"Your condition is caused by staying up late singing and eating some snacks. Chicken feet and rice crusts are easy to cause internal heat. Singing and staying up late also consumes a lot of energy for the body."

Chen Yang wrote a prescription, printed it out, signed it and handed it to the boy's mother: "This prescription is Fengre Loss of Voice Decoction, the main ingredient is cicada molt, which is very effective in treating aphonia."

"Take three doses when you go back. You don't need to come back when you're better. If there is any problem, you can come back for a follow-up visit."

After Chen Yang handed over the prescription, he smiled and warned: "Pay more attention in the future and stay up less late. You are at the age when you are growing up, so don't over-consume your body."

"thanks, thanks."

The boy's mother took the prescription, thanked him first, and then asked in surprise: "Is that all? Let's go get the medicine directly."

"Yes, go get the medicine directly. Is there anything else?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"No, I mean, no check-ups or anything like that?" The boy's mother seemed a little surprised.

After coming in, she took the medicine directly to the pharmacy without any examination or follow-up consultation. This was the fastest patient she had ever seen today.

"No need, go back and take the medicine according to the prescription." Chen Yang said with a smile.
