"The patient had a fever caused by hemothorax. Although he was out of danger after rescue, the congestion in his lungs and the fever could not be controlled..."
Chen Yang explained the patient's condition. In fact, most doctors already knew about the patient's condition. After all, the patient was a doctor in the emergency department of the provincial hospital.
Even some doctors who had not known about the patient's condition before, went to learn about the patient's condition after learning that Chen Yang was coming to the provincial hospital to give a lecture.
Xu Gaofeng's condition is a typical complication of hemothorax. Once it develops into a chronic disease, it is basically difficult to cure. Coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath will basically accompany Xu Gaofeng for the rest of his life.
Chen Yang was able to cure Xu Gaofeng's illness, which showed his ability. In fact, if Chen Yang was not too young, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine would not be so opposed to him.
"The patient's previous treatment for several days was ineffective because the key to fever could not be figured out."
Chen Yang said: "First of all, the patient's fever is not caused by infection, but by blood stasis turning into heat. Modern medicine is indeed very experienced in anti-infection, but when it comes to blood stasis turning into heat, Chinese medicine is definitely superior."
"The patient's stagnant heat is the root cause of the persistent high fever. Therefore, during the first few days of treatment, the patient's fever was always staged and recurrent..."
"If we want to solve the fundamental problem, we must first understand stasis heat. Stagnation heat can be divided into two categories: one is real heat, which is the heat generated by blood stasis; the other is virtual fire, which is the heat generated by blood stasis consuming yin and yin deficiency and yang excess, which is virtual fire, that is, virtual heat..."
"As for the patient's fever, there are both real and false fever, which is also the reason why it is difficult to reduce fever clinically..."
Wang Liwen had never discussed this issue in detail with Chen Yang before. Because Wang Liwen didn't know much about Chinese medicine, he didn't ask much. But after listening to Chen Yang's lecture today, Wang Liwen seemed to have some understanding.
Although Wang Liwen did not understand Chinese medicine, he knew that things like blood stasis and deficiency heat were definitely what Chinese medicine was good at, especially in activating meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Just as Chen Yang said just now, modern medicine does have a lot of experience in anti-infection and anti-virus, but it has drawbacks in some aspects.
Modern medicine targets specific viruses, while traditional Chinese medicine takes a holistic approach. There is a difference and gap between the two.
Of course, the reason why Wang Liwen can have such an understanding is first based on the premise that Wang Liwen recognizes traditional Chinese medicine. If he does not recognize traditional Chinese medicine, he will not think about it and will directly think it is nonsense.
Many people who are disgusted with traditional Chinese medicine cannot stand to hear about concepts such as false fire and yin and yang, and they themselves think that such concepts are nonsense. Under such circumstances, there is definitely no way to communicate.
"So for this situation, what we need to do is to clear the heat, break up the blood stasis, replenish qi, warm the body and relieve the symptoms..."
Chen Yang continued speaking.
"Director Zhao, what do you think?" Wang Liwen asked Zhao Junyang.
"For this disease, Chen Yang's treatment is indeed impeccable."
Zhao Junyang said: "I have never denied Chen Yang's level. As a young man, he is indeed quite outstanding and talented."
"Director Zhao is still unwilling to admit his own shortcomings." Wang Liwen smiled and said, "If this patient were to be treated by you, Director Zhao, could you do what Chen Yang did?"
Zhao Junyang snorted.
"Director Zhao, it's not that I didn't invite your Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine because of some problems. In the past two years, I have invited the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine for consultation many times, but when facing patients, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine basically fishes in troubled waters and has never surprised anyone."
Wang Liwen said: "If there is one time when I encounter a problem, I will not forget the Chinese medicine department."
Zhao Junyang said nothing and continued listening.
Soon Chen Yang finished explaining Xu Gaofeng's medical history, and some doctors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine seemed to be thinking about something.
Everyone understands the patient's condition, but only knows some superficial details. Then they can see the prescription, as if they can directly see the answer, but they cannot see the solution ideas.
Because when doctors prescribe medicine, they will only write down the symptoms found during the examination, analyze the cause of the disease, and how to use the medicine, but they will not write about their own mental journey.
Chen Yang's explanation is equivalent to explaining the problem-solving process, how to be dialectical, how to think, how to use medicine, why to use medicine in this way, etc.
As Chen Yang finished explaining Xu Gaofeng's medical records, some doctors couldn't help but reflect, and some began to whisper.
"This disease is not simple. If we had asked our doctors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to go there, they might not have been able to solve it."
"I guess it's just Director Zhao and a few others."
"Although Chen Yang is young, his skills are indeed beyond reproach."
"You know, it was Chen Yang who rescued the patient. If Chen Yang hadn't given him the acupuncture, the patient might not have made it to the hospital."
"Having said that, Director Wang asking Chen Yang to come and give a lecture is indeed a bit excessive."
Someone said: "This really doesn't take our Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine seriously."
As they were talking, some people subconsciously looked at the doctors sitting in the front. Also present today were several leaders from the Provincial Hospital's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Provincial Hospital is also a large department with a large number of doctors. For such a large department, there must be several relatively outstanding doctors.
For example, Yu Hongtao, 35 years old this year, is a senior attending physician in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Provincial Hospital and a leader among the young doctors in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There is also Ran Yuanbin, 42 years old, an associate chief physician, who is being trained as the next department director. There is also Long Xingwen, 47 years old, who is an associate chief physician himself and is considered a relatively capable doctor in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The doctors in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine also knew that it would be difficult for the directors to come forward this time, so the pressure was placed on Yu Hongtao, Ran Yuanbin and Long Xingwen.
Amid the expectation of the TCM doctors, Yu Hongtao stood up and looked straight at Chen Yang with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Doctor Chen, you just made a very reasonable statement, but in my opinion, some parts of your statement do not stand up to scrutiny. You said that this stasis heat is divided into real heat and false heat. Do you have a solid quantitative standard? In modern medicine, the judgment of any disease requires accurate data. Now TCM must also keep pace with the times. Some aspects cannot simply rely on sixth sense."
Chen Yang was not in a hurry. He smiled and responded calmly, "Doctor Yu, Chinese medicine theory has been accumulated for thousands of years. Although it does not have precise data measurement like modern medicine, it has its own unique dialectical system. Take the stasis heat for example. It is not impossible to judge whether it is real heat or false heat. In the case of real heat, patients often have high fever, red face and eyes, thick and dry yellow tongue coating, and strong pulse. In the case of false heat, patients often have low fever, hot flashes in the afternoon, flushed cheeks, red tongue with less coating, and weak pulse. These are the judgment bases that have been repeatedly verified in clinical practice, and they are not empty talk."
When Chen Yang heard Yu Hongtao's question, he knew that he was not an opponent at all. At best, he had some level in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Provincial Hospital. His thinking was too seriously influenced by modern medicine. Otherwise, as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he would not be able to say such words.
