Master Doctor in the City

When Ye Chen and Annie were walking around in the lively Chinatown, it was almost one in the afternoon. When they returned to the meeting room, because there were too many patients in New York’s Chinatown, the free clinic was moved directly to the center of Chinatown. In the hospital.

When Ye Chen and the members of the Shanghai Exchange Group arrived there, they had seen a long line of Chinese, overseas Chinese, whites, and blacks, holding the Chinese Daily and the Overseas Chinese Daily, lining up for the free clinic.

When Ye Chen sat down in his seat, Annie accompanied him.

When Ye Chen asked the first patient to come over, he saw a 10-year-old man with two middle-aged men and women supporting him.

When the man sat down in front of Ye Chen, the middle-aged men and women began to introduce the identities of the old man to Ye Chen. Soon, Ye Chen learned that the old man was surnamed Wang, and the middle-aged men and women were his son and daughter-in-law.

The old man was admitted to a Western hospital in New York for treatment a month ago due to symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, and cough.

However, in that western hospital, I took a lot of slings and took a lot of western medicine, which was treated as a cold and fever. The effect was not obvious.

Later, when it was further checked that it was pneumonia, the medical treatment at that hospital was also not obvious. When I heard that Ye Chen was giving patients a free clinic in Chinatown, the middle-aged couple hurriedly helped their father to come and line up.

Because this old man is too old, it turns out that the line is at the back, but the young patients in the front let him rank first.

Ye Chen briefly learned about the situation of the old man surnamed Wang and asked if he had brought the old man's medical record. The middle-aged couple hurriedly took out the old man's medical record.

When Ye Chen took it over to read it, it was all in English, including the western medical examination data. Some Ye Chen could understand.

However, part of it was a proper term, which he couldn't understand at all. Ye Chen only saw the old man's condition in the Western medical record when he asked Annie to help translate.

Now Ye Chen finished reading those, and then carefully checked the old man's pulse, tongue, body temperature, and asked about the old man's current discomfort.

After reading those, when Ye Chen confirmed that there was nothing wrong, he said: "The old man did have senile pneumonia, but in Chinese medicine, his symptoms are pulmonary fever. If there is no prescription for the symptoms, I am afraid that the western medicine will not treat the symptoms. It is difficult to cure the root cause," Ye Chen said.

In Chinese medicine, pulmonary fever refers to the occurrence of fever, cough, or even wheezing due to wind-heat and poisonous evil invading the lungs, or due to external wind-cold, heat entering the interior, and heat trapping in the lungs, causing the lungs to lose their breath. Visceral fever is the main manifestation of chest pain.

For this type of disease, most of them will appear in the elderly. The elderly themselves are getting older, their physique is getting worse, and they are susceptible to virus invasion. In addition, after treatment, if the effect is not obvious, it will become more serious.

The situation of the old man surnamed Wang is exactly the same. At first, although the old man had symptoms similar to a cold and fever, if the doctor only treated his condition as the disease, he would definitely not prescribe the right medicine.

Ye Chen took the medical record paper and wrote directly on the medical record paper: "Wang, male, 89 years old. The patient had a cough due to an external infection and was wheezing for more than a month."

"First visit: The patient had runny nose, sore throat, and cough due to exogenous symptoms a month ago. Today’s symptoms worsened, as well as wheezing, increased sputum volume, and low-grade fever. He had a chest X-ray and CT examination at the Western Hospital. The chest X-ray showed, right Lung texture increases and weight gain, chest CT shows, large consolidation of the upper lobe of the right lung, suggesting that the lesion is pneumonia, right pleural effusion, and severe lobular emphysema in both lungs. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and expectoration in Western Hospital After treatment, the condition is slightly stable."

"Current examination: the patient has cough, shortness of breath, suffocation, white sputum, poor spirit, shortness of breath, weak appetite, and two stools. Tongue: red tongue, thin and greasy coating. Pulse: slippery pulse. Lip nail No cyanosis, no swelling of the lower limbs, and full chest."

"The patient had a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease, hypertension, chronic renal insufficiency, etc. Chinese medicine dialectics: diagnosis of pulmonary fever, phlegm heat in the lungs, and Xuanjiang loss syndrome. The patient is suffering from lung disease. , And feeling of exogenous pathogens, resulting in the loss of lung qi, in addition to the congestion of phlegm heat, blocking the chest and diaphragm, the qi becomes more and more inaccessible, causing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and excessive phlegm. In addition, the patient is elderly and weak. I have suffered from a variety of chronic diseases in the past. Righteous qi has been deficient, and now there is phlegm turbidity and heat, which makes the right qi more weak, causing symptoms such as less appetite and fatigue, shortness of breath and weakness. Treatment: clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm, dispelling pain Lung qi is used for living, supplemented by strengthening the body."

"Prescription: 20 grams of ginseng, 15 grams of mulberry bark, 15 grams of roasted baibu 15 grams, 15 grams of roasted lily, 20 grams of honeysuckle, 15 grams of mallow seeds, 10 grams of tangerine, 3 grams of roasted ephedra, 20 grams of raw plaster, and almonds 10 grams, 10 grams of coltsfoot flowers, 10 grams of roasted loquat leaves, 0.6 grams of antelope horn powder (divided), 3 grams of raw licorice. 7 doses, decocted in water, 1 dose a day."

Ye Chen wrote very quickly, and also wrote very clearly. Check carefully and confirm that there are no errors, and then give it to the middle-aged couple so that the old man surnamed Wang can be directly hospitalized in this Chinese medicine house in Chinatown, and then decoct the medicine here. Just go down.

However, Ye Chen may no longer be in New York regarding the follow-up visit. Ye Chen felt that if this old man surnamed Wang drank the traditional Chinese medicine he prescribed, it should be able to relieve a lot.

The middle-aged couple and the old man did not stay here in the hospital, but after leaving, Ye Chen did not know why they did not stay in the hospital.

Next, Ye Chen treated other patients with no difference in speed or quality. Starting at one o’clock in the afternoon, he first showed the elderly surnamed Wang to see the pulmonary fever, and now the last one is a young man suffering from wind dizziness. symptom.

What surprised Ye Chen was that among the patients who came to see the doctor, there were many young Chinese. However, when these Chinese faced him, they were fluent in English, and when they were asked to speak Mandarin, they seemed very awkward, not even speaking.

This made Ye Chen even more surprised. A Chinese in the United States could not even speak Chinese. Is this still a descendant of Chinese?

Ye Chen learned that these people are already the fourth and fifth generations after immigrants in the United States. From their grandfather and grandfather generation, they have already immigrated and settled in the United States. Here in Chinatown, all they accept are American culture.

Of course, there are also Chinese-English schools in Chinatown, but it is very strange to Ye Chen why these people can't speak Chinese.

Perhaps, these people may be the banana people that people on the Internet say. They look similar to Chinese people in appearance, but in fact, they are very different from Chinese people.

However, Ye Chen can treat even those whites and blacks who come to see a doctor, let alone those Chinese who don't speak Chinese.
