Chapter 159 Western Medicine Impersonates Traditional Chinese Medicine
Zhang Xingbang has been waiting outside the house, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world.
After a while, the door opened, and Lin Sanqi took out a bowl of soup:
"Director Zhang, give it to the patient quickly. This is for reducing fever."
Zhang Xingbang got the medicine and was so excited that he almost shed tears: "Okay, okay, Dr. Xiaolin, thank you so much, I'll go then."
"Okay, you go ahead, there will be medicine later."
Lin Sanqi returned to the room and closed the door tightly. Zhang Xingbang hurriedly ran to the ward. As soon as he turned a corner, he was stopped by several white coats.
"Director Zhang, is this medicine prepared by Dr. Xiao Lin himself? Can you let us take a look?"
Doctors at the First People's Hospital of Hu Jian Province were very interested in the medicine used by this colleague from the capital. They were very curious about what medicine the Lingnan sect would use.
This is definitely not about looking down on each other, but rather an attitude of learning from each other. Of course, God knows whether there is any intention to learn medicine from others.
Although Zhang Xingbang was anxious, he also knew that it was not good to offend the doctor, so he handed over the medicine bowl.
Several doctors gathered around the medicine bowl and smelled it for a long time, then dipped their fingers to taste it, and then they all looked confused.
"Old Wang, how many medicinal materials have you tasted?"
"It's strange. I only tasted a hint of licorice. I couldn't tell what other medicines were used. The taste is very bitter."
"Yeah, I can't taste what other medicines were used. That shouldn't be the case. There's nothing wrong with my sense of taste."
A few people in white coats had begun to doubt their decades of medical skills, but they did not suspect that what Dr. Xiaolin used was not Chinese medicine at all, but Western pills from later generations.
Zhang Xingbang was a little impatient, "Guys, can I give my little girl some medicine?"
"Okay, okay, let's go and see how it works."
Zhang Jingjing quickly pinched her nose and drank the entire bowl of "licorice soup". She almost spit it out because it was too bitter.
Chinese medicine is bitter, but Western medicine tablets are not swallowed, but ground into powder and soaked in soup. In fact, the taste is very bitter, and the aftertaste is even more bitter.
The nurse next to me quickly took a mercury thermometer and took a temperature measurement, which was 38.8°C.
Everyone, including doctors and family members, were waiting for the results. Ten minutes after drinking the medicine, Zhang Jingjing began to sweat all over her body. Visible sweat beads appeared. After a while, her hair was soaked, as if she had been fished out of water. Same.
One of the doctors nodded after seeing this: "Okay, the fever has started to subside. Nurse, please take your temperature quickly."
The first measurement showed 38.0°C, which was a slight decrease compared to more than ten minutes ago.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jingjing's whole body was soaked with sweat. Even the mattress could be seen with water stains in the shape of a human figure. Her whole body was so wet that she couldn't describe her discomfort.
Zhang's mother was a little anxious. Seeing her daughter's irritability, she quickly asked:
"Doctor, is my daughter getting better or worse?"
A middle-aged doctor next to him waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's okay. It's a good thing to be able to sweat. The patient's discomfort is not because of the disease, but because he sweats too much and feels uncomfortable. Just wipe his body or take a shower for a while."
Another middle-aged doctor objected: "Isn't it better to take a shower when you have a high fever?"
"That's because you traditional Chinese medicine doctors think you shouldn't take a bath if you have a high fever. We Western medicine doctors don't care about that. We think taking a bath can physically cool you down."
The two doctors started to have a little argument, and Zhang Xingbang became even more anxious: "Nurse, can you help me take my temperature again?"
37.6℃
"Wow, your body temperature has dropped? It went from high temperature to low fever in half an hour. Is it so miraculous?"
"I admire the Lingnan sect for having such ability!"
Zhang Xingbang and his wife were so excited that they really wanted to applaud: "Great, great!!"
Another doctor poured cold water on him and said: "Don't be too happy. Whether the fever is temporarily reduced or whether it is truly reduced requires continued observation. Moreover, antipyretic drugs only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Don't forget that this is a bad throat infection."
The ward instantly became quiet.
After several doctors heard this, they put on their masks more tightly. After all, this was an infectious disease and a plague.
A doctor was a little puzzled: "Our hospital has not received any other patients with sore throat recently. Where did Zhang Jingjing's sore throat get infected from?"
Zhang Xingbang remembered at this time:
“My daughter’s school organization has been promoting schistosomiasis in rural areas in the past few days. Could it be that she was infected from rural areas?”
Several doctors nodded repeatedly: "We are inseparable. We need to notify the local area to quickly prevent and control it. If the infection spreads, we will be in big trouble."
In a remote cabin.
Lin Sanqi fried another bowl of traditional Chinese medicine with Chai Gui, then opened the amoxicillin capsule and mixed it into the medicinal soup, while still mumbling:
"Hehe, this is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine that is very effective. Let me act as a miracle doctor today."
Scarlet fever is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by hemolytic streptococci, and penicillin contains penicillane, which can activate lytic enzymes to destroy the bacterial cell wall, thereby achieving the purpose of treating scarlet fever. Amoxicillin, on the other hand, uses a hydroxyl group and an amino group based on the structure of penicillin, which has better and broader efficacy. It had not been invented in 1959, so it is the only one in the world.
When Zhang Xingbang appeared in the ward with his second bowl of medicinal soup today, he was immediately surrounded by doctors again.
Then the inquiring doctors were once again struck to the point of doubting their lives, because so many of them still couldn't guess which medicines Lin Sanqi used.
The doctors even invited the most senior herbalist from the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, but the answer was still unclear as to what medicinal materials were used.
This made the doctors all anxious and scratching their heads.
When Lin Sanqi walked into the ward to observe the patient, he was immediately surrounded by doctors:
"Dr. Lin, the two bowls of decoction you just read are very effective. Could you please take the liberty to ask whether these two prescriptions are passed down from your family or are they public prescriptions?"
Lin Sanqi blinked and said with a smile:
"The prescriptions I use, uh, are of course passed down from my ancestors. The first antipyretic medicine is Luosuofang, and the second one is used to detoxify and is called Amofang."
"Luosuo antipyretic prescription? Amo Qingdu prescription? I don't think I have heard of it."
Lin Sanqi smiled slightly and said pretentiously: "These are the ancestral prescriptions of our family. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."
At the same time, I thought to myself: If any of you have heard of it, it goes without saying that we are all good brothers of the Cross-Travel Party, and we can work together in the future.
Never heard of it? You know this is a secret recipe, but you still ask?
"Oh~~~That's it, I admire it!"
If loxoprofen treats the symptoms but not the root cause, then amoxicillin is the authentic root cause.
Some people may say that Lin Sanqi is cheating. How can he use Chinese and Western medicine together? Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and Western medicine is Western medicine;
Some people may also say that if the disease is cured by Lin Sanqi's treatment, is it considered that traditional Chinese medicine is better, or is Western medicine effective?
Then fans of traditional Chinese medicine and fans of western medicine got into a quarrel, and no one accepted the other. In the end, when they couldn't win, they started to attack each other personally and search for human flesh, which was a mess.
In fact, from a doctor's point of view, these are all nonsense. It doesn't matter whether you are a Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor. If you can cure diseases, it is good medicine. How can you have such a sectarian opinion?
White cat and black cat, the one that can catch mice is the good cat.
Doctors only care about the curative effect, only idiots care about status.
At the end of the first day of treatment, although Zhang Jingjing's body temperature still fluctuated, the highest temperature did not exceed 39°C. The effect was not obvious, but it gave people hope.
In the following days, Lin Sanqi was given three bowls of "Amo Qingdu Decoction" every day. Except for the first few days, "Luosuo Antipyretic Decoction" was no longer used, indicating that her condition had improved significantly.
Unfortunately, because Zhang Jingjing had adult scarlet fever and was in a severe condition, her recovery was not as fast as expected, which made Lin Sanqi a little anxious.
After all, he still wants to "monetize traffic" and make a fortune.
But he is a member of an employer and cannot wander around casually. He must report back when the time is almost up, and the patient is still waiting for medication.
Now, all he could do was wait in order to save people, which made Lin Sanqi feel like he had lost hundreds of millions.
There is no way that the Zhang family should treat Lin Sanqi badly, and they have already put a lot of effort into catering.
No, I asked someone to buy a large yellow lip fish from the beach. After steaming it in the hospital cafeteria, I invited Dr. Xiaolin to taste it.
Zhang Xingbang and Huang Liqiang accompanied them in person:
Lin Sanqi is actually tired of eating fish, crabs and so on these days, and now she really wants to eat some meat. However, pork and beef are too rare in the area, and the Zhang family only provides them occasionally, so they can't eat freely.
There is meat in Lin Sanqi's own passage space, but he doesn't have the chance to take it out.
So when Lin Sanqi walked into the cafeteria and saw a huge sea fish on the table, she screamed in her heart, eating fish again~~~
"Dr. Xiaolin, hehehe, we don't have anything delicious in Zhangzhou. This is the yellow lip fish we just caught this morning. Try it, it tastes very good."
Lin Sanqi, who had a polite smile on his face, heard that it was a yellow-lipped fish. He stopped breathing for a moment and asked excitedly:
"Is this a yellow lip fish?"
Zhang Xingbang was a little confused and nodded blankly: "Yes, yes? What happened to this fish?"
"Wow, yellow-lipped fish, is it also called money fish? This is a big treasure, Director Zhang, you are too polite, hahaha."
Zhang Xingbang is a little confused. If you want to say that this fish is fresh, it is true, but the yellow lip fish is not a rare fish. If there is no way to keep it fresh, it would be trivial to pull a few tons for you at one go.
This is the information gap between the two eras.
In 2023, yellow-lip fish has almost become extinct along the coast. A fisherman once caught a 122-pound yellow-lip fish. The transaction price was 28,500 yuan per catty, for a total price of 3.477 million yuan.
A fish sells for more than 3 million yuan. You can imagine how precious the yellow-lipped fish or the golden squid is, comparable to a century-old wild ginseng.
Moreover, the yellow-lipped fish not only has delicious fish meat, but even more precious is the fish bubble, which is the swim bladder of the yellow-lipped fish.
After being made into isinglass, it is a good medicine for treating postpartum hemorrhage and infertility in long-term marriages. It has obvious effects on the recovery of seriously ill patients after surgery.
Therefore, yellow-lipped isinglass is regarded as rare and has magical medicinal value, so it is regarded as an heirloom by wealthy families and is extremely valuable.
Suddenly inspiration flashed in Lin Sanqi's mind again.
