Chapter 133 The Speechless and Helpless Patient(1/2)
"You! You are so stubborn. If this doctor can prescribe medicine for sweating, he can also prescribe medicine for preventing sweating." Liu Yiming smiled and tapped Li Kuisheng with his hand.
This Li Kuisheng is good at everything, but he is too stubborn and accepts death.
"Oh! Let me go and take a look!" Li Kuisheng sighed and said.
"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on you.
Let me tell you, Dr. Zhang’s medical skills are really great. With just a pair of medicines, my son’s disease was cured.” Liu Yiming waved his hand and told Li Kuisheng to hurry up.
Li Kuisheng was like this every day, and he felt sorry for him just looking at him.
Although Li Kuisheng was extremely reluctant, he still came to the infirmary.
"Doctor Zhang!"
"Brother Li! What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.
He and Li Kuisheng were neighbors in the same hospital, so they knew each other naturally, but they had never heard of him having any illness.
Li Kui's illness was not life-threatening, but his clothes were soaked through sweat, so his wife, Sister-in-law Li, did not tell anyone about it.
It feels a bit embarrassing.
"Dr. Zhang, every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, I feel a burst of heat all over my body. When the heat is over, I break out in a profuse sweat. This winter, my cotton clothes and pants can get soaked.
I went to Xicheng Hospital, Union Hospital, Peking University Hospital, and Tong Ren Tang. I took a lot of Chinese and Western medicine, but it never worked.
Tong Ren Tang gave me a prescription called "Concentrating Sweating and Strengthening the Surface". I stopped sweating after eating, but I was still hot!
I ate it once and didn’t dare to eat it again.” Li Kuisheng opened his conversation and began to talk about his experience of seeing a doctor.
"Why don't you dare to eat it?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.
"After I took this medicine, I was still hot at three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the past, I could still work after I had finished warming up, sweating, and changing my clothes.
But after taking that medicine, I really stopped sweating in the afternoon, but I was still hot all afternoon, and I was still hot until I got off work. I was so upset that I had no intention of doing anything.
I haven't sweated and I haven't changed my clothes, but I don't dare to eat anymore." Li Kuisheng told what happened last time he took the traditional Chinese medicine of Sweat-Reducing and Gut-Extreme Decoction.
"Yes!" Zhang Yan nodded, "Let me take your pulse!"
"Brother Li, in addition to taking the Khan-Controlling and Gut-Biao Decoction, what other Chinese medicines have you taken?" Zhang Yan frowned and thought for a while before asking.
It stands to reason that a floating pulse, coupled with Li Kuisheng's self-report, is a typical Taiyang disease.
If the disease often causes spontaneous sweating, this means that the Rong Qi is harmonious. If the Rong Qi is harmonious, the external Qi will not be harmonious. The Wei Qi will not be in harmony with the Rong Qi. Therefore, the Rong Qi will flow in the middle and the Wei Qi will flow outside. The sweating and Rong Qi will relapse.
For health and harmony, Guizhi Decoction should be used for recovery.
How many big hospitals would treat such a simple disease poorly?
"I've taken a lot of other medicines, but they don't work."
"Did I tell you to take Chinese medicine to induce sweating?" Zhang Yan thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, there was a doctor who actually told me to take Chinese medicine that induces sweating. I was already sweating, but my sweating was so severe, and he gave me the medicine to induce sweating.
Simply a quackery!
I don’t know how such a doctor can have the nerve to sit there and treat people." When he mentioned the diaphoretic medicine, Li Kuisheng immediately complained to Zhang Yan angrily.
"Did you simply not listen to that doctor, and you didn't take the medicine he prescribed for you?" Zhang Yan understood somewhat and asked with a faint smile.
"Yes! I definitely can't take it! I can't stop sweating even if I want to, and he even gave me medicine to induce sweating. How stupid would I be to take such medicine?" Li Kuisheng continued to complain.
After hearing what Li Kuisheng said, Zhang Yan couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
This is not because the doctor is incompetent, but because Li Kuisheng is so capable.
There are always some patients who are so self-righteous that they delay treatment, and in turn complain about the doctor's poor medical skills.
"Brother Li, you have a Taiyang stroke syndrome. According to the medical book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases": Taiyang stroke occurs when Yang is floating and Yin is weak. If Yang is floating, heat will occur spontaneously; if Yin is weak, sweating will occur spontaneously.
It is completely consistent with your symptoms.
You can take your own pulse and press it gently, and you can feel the pulse beating. If you press it a little harder, you won't feel the pulse beating anymore." Zhang Yan patiently explained the condition to Li Kuisheng.
In order to gain Li Kuisheng's trust, he even wrote a special sentence.
Li Kuisheng followed Zhang Yan's instructions and checked his own pulse.
"Hey! It's true!" Li Kuisheng said in surprise.
"Brother Li, the Chinese medicine I prescribed for you is to nourish yin and yang, harmonize Yingwei, and this medicine also induces sweating.
If you believe me, take the medicine at noon every day. After taking the medicine, drink more hot water to let the sweat come out in advance.
In this case, you can come over again tomorrow afternoon and see how it goes.
If it doesn’t work, let’s think of another way.” Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"Doctor Zhang, don't fool me, we are neighbors." Li Kuisheng stared at Zhang Yan and said.
"Brother Li, I'm a doctor and I can't make fun of the patient's body.
Your disease requires you to sweat. Sweating is not the purpose. The purpose is to regulate Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang, and health through sweating." Zhang Yan explained patiently.
As a doctor, the last thing you want to encounter is such a patient.
If your diagnosis is not in line with his wishes, it means you are incompetent and a quack.
However, the diagnosis that suited him could not cure the disease.
Going back and forth is delaying my illness.
Fortunately, solar apoplexy is not a fatal disease.
Otherwise, with Li Kuisheng’s temper, there might be many in the courtyard...
"Okay! Let me take some medicine and try it first!" Li Kuisheng nodded reluctantly as if it was a gift.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
I really want to slap the table and tell him to go away. Look wherever you fall in love, I won't serve you.
However, as a doctor, his professional ethics do not allow this.
"That's okay. You can try some medicine first, and remember to take it at noon tomorrow." Zhang Yan warned with a smile.
Li Kuisheng was given a prescription and asked to take it.
"Brother Zhang, why are there still people like this? If you don't believe in doctors, why would you come here to see him?" Qian Hongying said angrily.
"That's right, you are really capable, so don't come to the doctor for treatment!"
"Looking at what he did just now, I just want to slap him twice!"
As soon as Li Kuisheng left, Qian Hongying, Liang Yan, and Xiao Li started talking angrily, trying to defend Zhang Yan.
"You guys! You still have to continue practicing!
We doctors face all kinds of diseases and people every day.
When you have been doctors for a long time, you will understand that there are many more extreme patients than Li Kuisheng in this world.
Are you angry?" Zhang Yan comforted everyone in turn.
Just now when Li Kuisheng said he would try taking some medicine, Zhang Yan was so angry that he wanted to curse.
I really want to tell him, don't try, I don't have the ability to treat your disease, you should go find another doctor.
Li Kuisheng's illness was caused by his own delay and self-righteousness.
He didn't have the skills, so he went to the national experts to see a doctor, but he only found young people or people with not very good medical skills to see him.
Occasionally, he meets someone who can explain it to him, but because the diagnosis result is not what he wants, he doesn't believe him.
The delay of three or four months can only be said to be self-inflicted.
Zhang Yan was very conscientious and asked Li Kuisheng to come back tomorrow afternoon, not because he was worried that the medicine would not be right.
Instead, he was worried that if he delayed it for too long, the evil would become too strong and the medicine would not be able to work for a while.
That's why I told Li Kuisheng to come over again tomorrow afternoon to see the effect.
If the medicine is really not effective, then he must be treated with acupuncture.
After Li Kuisheng left, several more patients came in, all suffering from back pain or arm pain. After Zhang Yan diagnosed them, he arranged for Zhao Shengli and others to give them massages and apply plasters.
The rest of the time is spent reading and studying.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day.
When it was time to get off work, Li Kui came to the infirmary angrily.
"Dr. Zhang, the medicine you prescribed for me doesn't work either!
After I ate it, I started to sweat all over, and at three o'clock, it was still the same as usual: I had a fever and then started to sweat." Li Kuisheng asked.
"Brother Li, don't worry first.
If you think about it carefully, is it really that it has no effect at all?
