Chapter 121 The Difference Between Chinese and Western Medicine

Li Hu took a step back at this time, reached out to signal, and asked the Chen family father and son to go up for treatment.

Chen Jinbai's hands were shaking at this time. For the old Chinese doctor, when he saw the face and mental state of the official family, he could basically be regarded as a "nearly dying" state, which is definitely bad news for the doctor.

Is traditional Chinese medicine effective?

Later generations have proven that traditional Chinese medicine has unique therapeutic effects on chronic diseases, but it is often helpless for some emergency diseases and there are not many solutions.

For example, if you suddenly suffer from severe abdominal pain, it may be a very simple appendicitis. In ancient times, it was basically a terminal illness, and the mortality rate could reach more than 90%.

Traditional Chinese medicine cannot undergo abdominal surgery, so we don’t even have to lift the argument.

To give another example, take the official diarrhea this time as an example. For traditional Chinese medicine, if you want the patient to have a rapid diarrhea, there are some medicinal materials that can be used (in fact, it is a manifestation of mild poisoning).

But if you want the patient to stop diarrhea quickly, there will be few ways.

Moreover, the most important treatment for patients with diarrhea is that they need to supplement large amounts of liquids and electrolytes. This was impossible in ancient times, and there was no such medicine.

Some people wanted to carry the semen and said that in ancient times, doctors would ask patients to drink some salt water. Isn’t this a rehydration?

This is OK for patients with mild diarrhea, but if it is a patient with moderate or severe diarrhea, just adding saline to the body will cause a high "sodium" and will aggravate the condition.

A large amount of diarrhea is only a part of the supplement, and other water such as potassium, calcium, magnesium plasma, and other nutrients are necessary.

There is also an important knowledge point: During severe diarrhea, a large amount of intestinal fluid is lost, which causes metabolic acidosis. At the same time, accompanied by vomiting, acidosis and alkalosis may occur.

Therefore, the first thing to treat patients with moderate to severe diarrhea is to replenish fluids, supplement various electrolytes, and correct acid and alkali stability. This is the top priority.

However, when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, everyone's eyes are only focused on whether the "official family" can quickly stop diarrhea and reduce fever. They try every means to prevent him from having diarrhea?

As a result, after pouring bowls of Chinese medicine, not only did not relieve the symptoms, but also correct the electrolyte disorder. Instead, the Chinese medicine aggravated the gastrointestinal reactions such as diarrhea and vomiting.

Intestinal inflammation is not controlled for a long time, and Chinese medicine is still increasing the burden of intestinal circulation, which will lead to the high fever caused by systemic inflammation that will never be eliminated.

So Chen Buer doesn't need to ask about the current treatment, he has already fallen into a dead end anyway.

When he saw the official family, he saw a palace maid feeding the official family medicine. Where is the medicine? It is clearly a death-hunting poison.

I didn’t see a large pool of vomit beside the official bed.

You can imagine that you have stomach discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea, and then your wife brought you a bowl of Chinese medicine and said to you: "Come on, Dalang, I've taken the medicine."

How will you react after drinking it?

Wait, it’s not that you’re going to die from the bloody poison of the seven orifices. (How come you are so wary of your wives?)

If you drink such bitter Chinese medicine, don’t tell whether it works. You will definitely vomit, and then vomit until you vomit until metabolic alkalosis is poisoned. Do you think your disease can be cured?

At this time, Chen Jinbai had already bitten his teeth and gently took the thin hands of the official family and began the Chinese medicine favorite pulse diagnosis link.

Chen Buer stood beside the bed and looked directly at the official's house on the bed.

This is a thin little old man with not even much beard. His face does not have the same flush as when he is in a high fever, but rather a grayish-white state. He is always in a half-awake and half-unawakened state.

It looks like he will die at any time.

Fortunately, I haven't fallen into a "coma" state, at most I can only be considered "coma". Finally, I haven't come too late and can be saved.

Chen Buer dared not think too much, and the patient could not afford to delay. The Chen family would have to be buried with him if he died, so he had to compete for the best.

He first used an ear thermos to measure the body temperature of the official family, then took out a blood pressure machine, and started measuring the blood pressure. After a while, he took out a small flashlight and looked at the official family's pupils.

Li Hu and Doctor Pan were all staring wide at the same time. They had seen patients, but had never seen them like this.

What did you stuff the official's ears? What the hell is that "beep" sound? What treasure is the one that glows in your hand? How can you emit dazzling light with just one press? But what do you shine in your eyes?

All of this made their minds full of question marks.

Also full of questions were Queen Yang not far away, and Prime Minister Cui, who had just arrived at Funing Palace to visit the official family.

When Cui Miyuan arrived at the official bedroom, he saw a strange young man holding some strange tools to "examine" the official family. He was very surprised and asked softly:

"Empress, the old minister just heard that someone had revealed the medical treatment list. Could it be these two?"

Queen Yang nodded slightly:

"It's them. The old one said to use traditional Chinese medicine, and the younger one said to use Western medicine in Western countries. Moreover, they are both medical families and are considered famous families. I'll let them try it."

Cui Miyuan felt even more confused when he heard this, "Empress, which doctor is this? It's not witchcraft, right? I've never seen anyone treating a doctor like this."

"Chen Jinbai, Chen Buer and his son from Jingshitang, probably also wanted to live without a single life, and took out their skills at home."

When Cui Miyuan heard Jingshitang, the light in his eyes flashed. Gushengtang's competitors came again. If the official family was cured, it would destroy the layout of setting up eyeliners in the palace later.

Chen Buer ignored other people's thoughts. He is now busy monitoring the changes in the human body's four vital signs, body temperature, pulse, breathing, blood pressure, and pupil and corneal reflexes. If possible, he must monitor blood oxygen saturation.

Many people go to the hospital for treatment in their minds, and they think of blood, filming, CT scan, etc., thinking that this is the examination.

In fact, for a doctor, the most important thing for an emergency patient is to observe body temperature, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure, which are usually inconspicuous.

Experienced doctors, this is because these are important indicators used to judge the severity and criticality of a patient.

For example, the simplest change in breathing rhythm.

If a doctor sees a patient having tide breathing, he can probably judge that the patient has severe cerebral hypoxia, ischemia, serious heart disease, etc.

If breathing is intermittent, you will consider whether there is encephalitis, increased intracranial pressure, pleuritis or malignant tumors, rib fractures, etc.

When a doctor saw that the patient was breathing like nodding, his head was lightly and his mouth was opened and closed, like a fish opened his mouth, then he knew that the patient was at the verge of death.
