Reborn In the 1960s, starting from Chinese medicine

"Director, can appendicitis be treated with traditional Chinese medicine without surgery?"

Seeing Director Li walking into the consulting room from the outside, Nurse Xiao Zhou asked quickly.

"Ah?" Her sudden question made Li Chu feel a little dazed, and for a moment didn't know what she meant.

"It's the patient you saw just now. I saw that when he was in the surgery department, the doctor diagnosed him with acute appendicitis and sent him to the hospital for an operation."

"Oh, you mean the intestinal carbuncle just now. His is of the type of qi stagnation and blood stasis, and it can be cured by acupuncture and medicine."

"Then why did the surgeon suggest surgery?"

"It's simple, once and for all. Western medicine believes that the appendix is ​​dispensable, so if there is acute inflammation, it can be cut."

"Is this thing really useless?"

"How could it be useless? After so many years of human evolution, useless things have long been eliminated. According to Western medicine, the appendix is ​​responsible for intestinal immunity, secretes digestive enzymes, and stores probiotics. As a last resort, it is best not to cut out the appendix."

"Director, what you mean is that there are actually many types of appendicitis?"

"Yes, traditional Chinese medicine divides intestinal carbuncle into three types, qi stagnation and blood stasis, damp-heat accumulation, and heat-toxin invasion type. If it is heat-toxin invasion type, then I will also recommend him to undergo surgery, because at this time the patient's appendix It has been completely suppurated, and if the operation is not performed in time, it may be life-threatening."

"Can you operate?"

"Haha" Li Chu smiled when he heard Xiao Zhou's question and said, "Xiao Zhou, do you think Chinese medicine doctors don't operate?"

"That's right. I see that other doctors in the Chinese medicine department mostly do massage or acupuncture. I haven't seen any of them talk about surgery. Some patients need surgery and they will go to the surgery for another look."

"Traditional Chinese medicine also has surgery, but because of the existence of western medicine, Chinese doctors don't need to perform surgery. After so many years of changes, many surgical techniques have been lost, so now even in schools, Teachers don’t teach this to Chinese students because they don’t know it themselves.”

Will Li Chu have surgery? Of course he will. It's in the skill book he opened back then. It's still the same sentence, it's not necessary.

He doesn't have to compete with the surgeon for food, and he knows those things, but the skills handed down in the skill book are really rough. I really want to be very proficient in performing an operation. Even he needs more exercise. Only a few times.

At present, acupuncture, massage and syndrome differentiation are enough for those young Chinese doctors to study for a lifetime. If Chinese medicine surgery is added, those students may go crazy.

Seeing Xiao Zhou nodding his head half-understood, Li Chu waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and see if there are any patients with TCM outside."

"Good director."

It seems that I have not signed in for a while?Li Chu muttered to himself.

Signing in now doesn't have any attraction for him, no matter what kind of reward the system will give him, he can't show it openly.

Forget it, the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed, who knows when the system will go on strike.

He immediately made up his mind to get a lottery when he went to bed tonight.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door curtain was lifted, and Director Zhao of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine walked in with a serious expression on his face.

"Old Zhao, what's the matter with you? Sit down."

"Director Li, I would like to ask, have you prescribed any medicine recently, and the patient didn't work after drinking it?"

Director Zhao's words stunned Li Chu, he didn't know what he meant for a while.

"Old Zhao, what do you mean? There are cases where patients do not work after drinking the medicine?"

"En." Director Zhao nodded: "Not one or two, there have been several such patients in the past two days."

As he spoke, he put the few prescriptions in his hand on the table.

Li Chu picked up the prescriptions and looked at them, and asked about the patient's condition. According to what Director Zhao said, it should be symptomatic.

Moreover, these prescriptions were not written by one person, even if someone made a mistake, it is impossible for several doctors to prescribe the wrong one.

Several of them were old doctors, and Li Chu didn't believe that they would be so irresponsible.

After looking at it for a while, he felt something was wrong.

"No, Lao Zhao, where did you get this prescription? You asked for it from the pharmacy?"

"No, it was brought by the patient."

"You mean none of these patients filled their medicines at our pharmacy?"

"Uh... Since the prescription is in their hands, it should be the medicine bought outside."

"Where is the patient now?"

"They didn't come here today. They were there yesterday and the day before yesterday. I just packed them together because I felt something was wrong when I was sorting them out just now. I wanted to come over to see if there is any such situation on your side."

"I haven't seen such a situation so far, so, can these patients be contacted?"

"I can get in touch with one of them, who lives opposite our hospital."

"Old Zhao, you can find him and ask him where he bought the medicine, and ask him to take the prescription and buy another one, and then bring it over for us to study."

"Director Li, do you mean that there is something wrong with the medicine sold in that pharmacy?" Director Zhao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

The few of them discussed for a long time, but they really didn't think about the medicinal materials.

"At present, I can only think of such a situation." Li Chu nodded and said.

The reason why he was able to think of this was mainly because he remembered that later generations read a news about a problem with the medicinal materials sold in a certain pharmacy. The patients went there to get the medicine, and it didn’t work at all after drinking it. Later, the Food and Drug Administration came down to check , just found the problem.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go look for this patient now, and ask him to grab another dose of this medicine."

"Well, when you buy the medicine, you call me, and I want to see it too."

"Okay." Director Zhao picked up the prescriptions and walked out.

After he left, Li Chu sat there frowning and thinking.

The prescription is symptomatic, and then the medicine is taken according to the prescription, but the medicine does not work after drinking.

Interesting hello.

Director Zhao's execution ability is still very good. It took only half an hour before and after, and he came back with a pair of medicine and the patient, followed by several doctors of traditional Chinese medicine.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Chu first took the patient's pulse to confirm that there was no problem with the prescription, and then they opened the paper package together to study the medicine.

There were only four medicines in total, and the doses were not too large. As soon as the paper package was opened, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the Coptis chinensis.

Director Zhao and the other two old Chinese doctors also noticed it.

Several people invariably picked up a small piece and stuffed it into their mouths.

Nurse Xiao Zhou and the patient's eyes twitched as they watched their actions.

"Bah, this is not Coptis chinensis from Sichuan. If I'm not mistaken, it should be grown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." An old doctor just stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, before spitting it into a spittoon by the wall.
