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

Sun Han recovered and the crew continued filming. Chen Yang and the other two were still watching from a distance. This was Chen Yang's first time watching other people filming, and it was quite interesting.

Moreover, the scenery of the Summer Palace is also nice. Chen Yang has been in Kyoto for a few days, but he hasn't had a good time in Kyoto yet. This is also Chen Yang's first time to visit the Summer Palace.

Maybe because of Chen Yang's help just now, the crew specially asked someone to bring stools, water, and snacks such as sunflower seeds to Chen Yang and the other two.

Chen Yang and two others sat in the distance, watching, eating snacks and melon seeds, like complete spectators.

The three people were happily enjoying themselves in front of the crowd when a middle-aged man in his early fifties came over. He was a very famous veteran actor named Zhang Junguo.

"Which famous doctor did Dr. Chen learn from?" Zhang Junguo came up to the three people, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and asked Chen Yang while eating.

"Professor Wu Yaolin from Shanzhou Medical University." Chen Yang said.

"Professor Wu Yaolin is a famous Chinese medicine expert in Shanzhou Province. No wonder Doctor Chen is so skilled."

In fact, Wu Yaolin's fame outside Shanzhou Province has been greatly reduced, but Zhang Junguo cannot say the same.

Just now, Zhang Junguo observed from the side for a while and found that Wen Xiuping's granddaughter and Chen Yang were very close. He guessed that Chen Yang might also be related to the Wen family. He didn't expect that Chen Yang was from Shanzhou.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Teacher Zhang?" Zeng Yunhui asked with a smile.

"It's something."

Zhang Junguo said: "I have an old friend who is almost 70 years old this year. He started to have turbid urine symptoms about 20 years ago. He has been to many doctors over the years, including Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Some people said it was kidney disease, but the examination results showed that it was not obvious. There seemed to be some protein in his urine..."

"Many Chinese medicine practitioners said that this disease requires abstaining from meat and fish, so she has been eating steamed buns and drinking porridge every day for the past few years, which has made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she has trouble eating and sleeping."

"In the past, kidney disease patients were required to abstain from meat and fish, but now this is no longer a requirement. Proper nutrition still needs to be balanced."

Chen Yang said: "Besides, it is not entirely certain whether it is kidney disease or not. In this case, you can eat whatever you want. Nutrition is also needed to recover from illness."

"For so many years, this doctor said something, and that doctor said something, which made people panic."

Zhang Junguo said: "We can't just ignore the doctor's words. After all, this kind of disease will be more difficult to treat if we don't pay attention to it."

"What are the main symptoms now?" Chen Yang asked.

"The main symptom now is turbid urine. I have not had good diet and sleep over the years. I am very thin, weak, and have no energy. I am exhausted." Zhang Junguo said.

"What does turbid urine look like? Is it like the water used to wash rice?" Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, Doctor Chen, you put it very vividly." Zhang Junguo said.

Chen Yang probably had a guess.

The patient's urination and defecation conditions are very important indicators clinically, especially for traditional Chinese medicine.

Normal urine is light yellow, clear and not turbid, and one feels comfortable after urinating. If the urine is clear, cold, and white in color, it is probably because of cold in the body; if the urine is small in volume, short in duration, red in color, and has burning pain, it is probably because of heat in the body.......

If the urine is turbid, like cream, as if there is some greasy substance in the urine, it is cream stranguria. If there are small stones and urination is difficult, it is stone stranguria, or urinary stones. If there is blood in the urine and it is accompanied by pain and astringency, it is blood stranguria.

As Zhang Junguo said, the patient's urine is the same color as rice washing water, and he is becoming increasingly thinner, which is called Lao Lin in traditional Chinese medicine.

In traditional Chinese medicine, diseases with symptoms such as persistent urination or even urinary obstruction are called stranguria.

The stranguria in traditional Chinese medicine is different from that in Western medicine. The stranguria in Western medicine often refers to urinary tract infection, which is an infectious disease, while the stranguria in traditional Chinese medicine has a wider scope.

To be precise, stranguria in Western medicine also falls into the category of stranguria in traditional Chinese medicine, but it does not include all of them and can only be regarded as one of them.

"Teacher Zhang, when was the last time you saw your friend?" Chen Yang asked Zhang Junguo again.

"Just yesterday."

Zhang Junguo said, "My friend is in Kyoto. We haven't seen each other for five or six years. When I saw her yesterday, I was shocked and almost didn't recognize her."

"Does your face look dull and you look depressed?" Chen Yang asked.

"Really?" Zhang Junguo said in surprise, "Doctor Chen, you didn't even see the person, but just listened to me tell you about the situation, and you know so many details?"

"Judging from the symptoms, it should be stranguria."

Chen Yang said: "The main symptoms of stranguria are urine color like rice water, dark yellow complexion, low spirits, and weight loss."

"Dr. Chen is amazing." Zhang Junguo expressed his sincere admiration.

Zhang Junguo came over, actually he just wanted to find out some information, but he didn't expect that he just simply described the symptoms, but Chen Yang actually judged his friend's condition almost accurately.

For a moment, Zhang Junguo felt a little emotional.

Zhang Junguo's friend is also an actor. Zhang Junguo met her when he was filming a few years ago. The two have a very good relationship. She can be regarded as an older sister to Zhang Junguo. When he was young, Zhang Junguo received a lot of care from this older sister.

However, since the eldest sister's health became unsatisfactory, she gradually withdrew from the film and television industry and stayed in Kyoto to recuperate.

Over the years, Zhang Junguo's elder sister has been to many hospitals in Kyoto for treatment, and has seen both Chinese and Western medicine, but her condition has not improved. Chen Yang made a diagnosis without even seeing the patient, which was simply too surprising for Zhang Junguo.

In fact, this is also because Zhang Junguo is an outsider, and now Chen Yang is only making a rough judgment, judging that the patient has stranguria. Even if it is stranguria, the cause and pathogenesis of the patient are different, and the treatment methods are also different.

Over the years, among the doctors that the older sister Zhang Junguo knew, there must have been someone who knew that she had stranguria, but the specific diagnosis and whether the medication was accurate were another matter.

Moreover, the patient has been ill for twenty years. Twenty years of medical history is considered a long-term chronic disease. The longer the disease persists, the more difficult it is to treat.

"Teacher Zhang, you are too polite. I only have a superficial understanding now. I need to see the patient first to know the details."

Chen Yang said to Zhang Junguo: "If Mr. Zhang is trustworthy, you can ask your friend to come to the Affiliated Hospital of Kyoto University of Chinese Medicine tomorrow and make an appointment with Senior Zeng."

"May I ask what is Dr. Zeng's full name?" Zhang Junguo asked Zeng Yunhui politely.

"Teacher Zhang, you're too polite. My name is Zeng Yunhui." Zeng Yunhui said.

"Okay, thank you so much, Dr. Chen. Of course, I also want to thank Dr. Zeng and Dr. Wen." Zhang Junguo thanked with a smile.
