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

Chapter 838: Panic Lin Jiaming

When Qin Dongliang and Duan Jianping rushed to the emergency department, Lin Jiaming had already arrived.

Lin Jiaming had completely lost the energy and spirit he had during the day, like an eggplant hit by frost.

"What's going on?" Qin Dongliang asked with a stern face.

"The patient was seen by Director Lin in the outpatient clinic yesterday. After returning home, he took the medicine according to the prescription. Today, he suddenly fell into a coma..."

Feng Chenhui explained the situation: "The patient is currently being treated in the emergency room."

"Are you sure this is the patient you saw yesterday?" Qin Dongliang asked Lin Jiaming.

"I have confirmed that this is indeed the patient I saw in the outpatient clinic yesterday..."

Lin Jiaming opened his mouth and tried to explain: "But we can't rule out the possibility that the patient took other medications, or ate some forbidden foods."

The patient is a young man in his twenties. According to Western medicine, he had an upper respiratory tract infection caused by a cold and fever.

The patient did not see any improvement after taking medication on his own. He also saw a Western doctor, but the results were not good. He also kept sweating, so he made an appointment with a Chinese medicine doctor.

And the appointment was with an expert, a chief physician.

For some patients and their families, when they go to see a doctor, they will look for doctors with a bigger reputation, or those they have heard about from others. If they don't pay much attention to this aspect, they can only look at the professional title.

When making an appointment, if there is a chief physician, most people will not go to see a deputy chief physician. Even if there is an appointment with a deputy chief physician, most people will not go to see a regular physician.

Although expert appointments are more expensive than ordinary appointments in terms of registration fees, many people don’t care much about those few dollars now.

For example, at the Shanzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital, a general appointment is eight yuan, and a specialist appointment is sixteen yuan. The difference of eight yuan is not a big deal for most people.

Who would have thought that after the patient went back, he took medicine once yesterday and once today, and he started to feel uncomfortable in the afternoon and had no appetite for dinner.

After dinner, the family discovered that the patient had fallen into a coma, so they rushed him to the emergency department.

In the opinion of the family, the patient's condition was probably related to the Chinese medicine he took, so they called many friends and relatives to come.

The patient's parents, sister, and distant aunts and uncles.

From this point of view, we can actually see the sadness of traditional Chinese medicine.

Regardless of whether the patient’s coma was caused by the medicine prescribed by Lin Jiaming, if the patient had seen a Western doctor, the family’s attitude might have been different.

After all, what Lin Jiaming said was not wrong. It is possible that the patient took other medicines, or ate prohibited foods, or there may be other reasons that caused the condition to worsen.

When faced with modern medicine, most people have a high tolerance, but when faced with traditional Chinese medicine, most patients are extremely critical.

Because, when many patients see a Western doctor, they know they are seeing a doctor, but when they see a Chinese doctor, they feel like they are taking a chance…

If the disease is cured, it is because you are lucky. If the disease is not cured, it is probably because the doctor is not competent.

In any case, after the patient's family arrived at the hospital, they insisted that it was Lin Jiaming's problem.

Feng Chenhui also made inquiries. The patient's family said that from yesterday to today, the patient had not taken any other medicine or eaten anything special except the Chinese medicine prescribed by Lin Jiaming.

Moreover, the patient's family also has the patient's previous diagnosis from Western medicine.

Previously, it was just a cold and upper respiratory tract infection. The young man went to the hospital alone yesterday for treatment, but now he is in critical condition.

Faced with this situation, how could Lin Jiaming not panic?

If something happens to the patient and nothing else is found, he would be held responsible.

"Let's go see the patient first." Duan Jianping said to Qin Dongliang.

Qin Dongliang nodded and went into the emergency room with Duan Jianping.

Naturally, the priority at this moment is to rescue the patient. If the patient can recover, everything will be fine. Otherwise, it will be a big deal.

Nowadays, the Internet is well developed and people are very interested in medical matters. If it is not handled properly, the Shanzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital may become a hot topic.

A few days ago, Zheng Zhiqiang found Tian Wen and said that Chen Yang was young and prone to controversy.

This incident is really going to be a hot topic. Lin Jiaming is a 47-year-old chief physician, which is considered very young.

By then, won’t anyone question how he was awarded the title of chief physician at such an age and with such level?

"Director Duan, Director Qin."

In the emergency room, Miao Yizhen saw Qin Dongliang and the other man coming in and hurriedly greeted them.

"How is the patient now?" Duan Jianping asked.

"The situation is not good. The blood pressure and heart rate are very low, and he has been sweating. The patient looks very irritable now..." Miao Yizhen said.

Qin Dongliang placed his index finger lightly on the patient's wrist, and his brows instantly furrowed - the left pulse was floating and stringy, and the right pulse was floating and weak. The pulse was like a candle in the wind, weak but restless.

"This is a typical case of both internal and external disease, with spleen and lung qi deficiency and weak external defenses," Qin Dongliang said softly.

"Director Qin, the prescriptions I prescribed are all conventional antipyretic and heat-clearing agents, which will definitely not lead to this situation!" Lin Jiaming said hurriedly.

“Now is not the time to assign blame!”

Qin Dongliang frowned slightly: "Now we need to make sure the patient is back to normal. If the patient can recover, everything will be fine..."

Qin Dongliang looked at Lin Jiaming sharply and said, "If something unexpected happens to the patient, you can only explain it to the Medical Education Department."

In fact, what happened now has already alarmed the medical department.

The Medical Department is the department in charge of complaints in the hospital. The emergency department has caused such a big commotion that the Medical Department has already received a call.

"Director Qin, what happens now..." Lin Jiaming was a little panicked.

When he was treating the patient yesterday, he felt that the problem was not serious and he was still very confident. How could this happen?

At this moment, Lin Jiaming was indeed a little confused.

"Call Chen Yang."

Qin Dongliang said to Lin Jiaming: "You go fight yourself, and ask Chen Yang to come over."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lin Jiaming didn't dare to say anything at this moment and hurried to call Chen Yang.

This led to the previous scene.

“Difficult patient?”

Chen Yang asked: "Director Lin can't handle it? I'm just the attending physician..."

In the morning, Lin Jiaming said something like "I feel like our department can't get anything done without Chen Yang", and now he called Chen Yang again.

Moreover, from the perspective of the hospital's medical system, only junior doctors seek help from senior doctors. How can senior doctors seek help from junior doctors?

Of course, as a doctor, Chen Yang had to go back to the hospital when the department director called him and he couldn't refuse, but that didn't stop Chen Yang from disgusting Lin Jiaming.

"Doctor Chen, it's all my fault. I was a little outspoken this morning. The patient's condition is urgent now. I hope you can put aside your prejudice against me." Lin Jiaming's tone was pleading.

"Where is Director Qin?" Chen Yang asked.

"Director Qin is in the emergency room." Lin Jiaming said.

"Okay, I got it." Chen Yang responded and hung up the phone.
