Li Chu's notes aroused the interest of the Chinese medicine community. After all, there are many doctors who rely on a few unique prescriptions to get by.
Many traditional Chinese medicine doctors of the older generation are reluctant to pass on their unique secret recipes to others. Now that such a weirdo has appeared, everyone is very surprised.
There were also many people who wanted to visit Li Chu, but they were blocked by the medical school. The leaders of the medical school did not want anyone to disturb him now.
Li Chu happened to be enjoying his leisure time, and he had no intention of dealing with those conservative people.
When I returned to my consulting room and sat down, two people came in, a man and a woman in their thirties.
"Hello, doctor, can you check on my wife?" the man said as soon as he entered the door.
After asking them to sit down, Li Chu took the registration ticket and medical record from the man's hand.
Li Chu did not look at the medical records, but asked the woman: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Doctor, my wife was seen in our hospital before. The doctor said that she had some kind of stomach cancer and needed an operation. What kind of disease is this? She also had to open her stomach and cut something into it. This is what's inside
If something is cut off, can a person still live?"
Before Li Chu could say anything, the man continued with a grimace: "Our family really can't afford this money, and the medicine they prescribed has no effect at all. That's why we thought of coming to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
The woman sat there with a miserable face and said nothing. Her man helped her speak.
This is the first cancer patient Li Chu has encountered in such a long time.
After listening to what he said, Li Chu did not argue with him about whether the person could still live after cutting out the contents of his stomach.
If an operation is required, these are the scientific knowledge that Western doctors need to impart to them, so he won't have to worry about it.
People nowadays are basically not familiar with the treatment methods of Western medicine. They just think that they are introduced from foreign countries and should be more advanced than traditional Chinese medicine, so they all go to Western medicine. However, they do not understand many terms of Western medicine.
In addition, most people nowadays have low academic qualifications and no education. It is good for them to be able to read and write. If I want to explain to them the treatment methods of Western medicine, then there is nothing to do today.
He directly opened the medical record. It was clearly written in the medical record that it was gastric cardia cancer. The surgeon also performed a gastroscopy on this female patient, which seemed to be certain. And this was already two months ago.
The cover said that this woman's name was Liu Huiying, and she was only thirty-two years old. How could she get cancer at such a young age?
After closing the medical record, Li Chu raised his head and asked, "What symptoms do you usually have?"
This time the man did not speak, but looked at his wife, and then Liu Huiying slowly spoke.
"Doctor, I just can't eat right now. I vomit after eating a little too much. Sometimes what I vomit is some acidic water."
"How long have these symptoms lasted?"
"About half a year." Liu Huiying thought for a moment before saying.
"I saw your medical records. I just came here two months ago. Why didn't you come when you first started vomiting?"
"It wasn't serious at first. I just felt like I couldn't swallow when I ate. I kept holding it in my chest. After I swallowed it, I occasionally felt like vomiting. I thought it was because I had a bad stomach, so I didn't care. Later, I felt like this often..." Liu Huiying seemed to
A little embarrassed.
After listening to her words, Li Chu shook his head secretly in his heart. Many diseases were caused by dragging them out, and minor illnesses suddenly turned into serious illnesses.
He continued to ask: "The doctor prescribed medicine for you when you came here last time, right?"
"Yes, but the medicine seems to have no effect after taking it."
After thinking for a while, Li Chu asked again: "Have you ever vomited blood or had any other symptoms in the past two months?"
Before Liu Huiying could say anything, her man interrupted and said: "She vomited blood once, and it was with the food she ate. As for other symptoms, I haven't seen any other reactions from her. Is it possible?
Britain?"
After listening to her husband's words, Liu Huiying nodded: "There's nothing else. I just can't swallow the food. After swallowing, I feel like vomiting."
Li Chu asked her to put her hands on the table and began to diagnose her pulse carefully.
After checking the pulse, he said to Liu Huiying: "I also suggest that you go to the surgery and accept the surgery the doctor said. After all, you are still so young."
"Doctor, we really can't afford the cost that the doctor mentioned last time!" Liu Huiying said with a sad face.
Li Chu looked at the man's clothes and then at Liu Huiying's. The couple didn't look like they were digging for food in the dirt, so he said, "I think you both seem to be working people. Your employer should reimburse you."
Yes!"
The man sighed and said, "Doctor, we are both temporary workers, and the unit does not care about this kind of expense."
Li Chu nodded clearly, there was nothing he could do about it.
He picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription on the paper, looked at it carefully and changed two of the medicines, and then handed it to Liu Huiying.
"Take this prescription and go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to get medicine. Drink it once a day for five days. Come over after five days and let me take a look again."
Liu Huiying and her husband came over to take a look at the prescription, and then asked: "Doctor, is this medicine useful?"
"Did the doctor explain your wife's illness to you last time?"
The couple looked at each other, and the man swallowed hard and said: "Last time, the doctor said that this disease is very serious, maybe..." After saying that, his eye circles were still a little red.
Li Chu nodded: "It's not only serious, it's also very difficult to treat, and I'm not sure about it either. So you should think carefully about whether you should take the medicine I prescribed."
The man took the prescription from Liu Huiying's hand and said: "Of course you have to take it. As long as there is a little hope, we will treat it."
Originally, Li Chu wanted to give some advice on what to pay attention to when eating, but then he thought, it's good to be full, so what else should he pay attention to, so he didn't say more.
After they left, Nurse Wang, who had been paying attention here, asked: "Doctor Li, is this cancer so difficult to treat?"
"It is quite difficult to treat. No matter whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there is actually no way to cure this disease. The most it can do is prolong the patient's survival time." Li Chu said.
At the same time, I was still thinking that not only could it not be cured now, but it would also be the same in a few decades.
Nurse Wang was in the obstetrics and gynecology department before. She had only heard of this disease but had not seen it with her own eyes, so she asked more questions.
Li Chu sat on the chair and pondered. He thought of the Hua Tuo experience book that he had put away. Did Hua Tuo have a way to cure cancer?
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms doesn't say that Hua Tuo wanted to crack open Cao Cao's head and cut out the tumors inside, so he was suspected by Cao Cao and was put in prison and tortured to death.
Then I thought about it, this is not just surgery, the patient is now undergoing surgery because he has no money.
Li Chu shook his head, lay on the table, and began to organize his third notebook.
Dean Chen from the medical school now comes over every one or two days to take a look. He even brought him two bottles of malted milk that day, saying he wanted him to take a good nutritional supplement.
Li Chu felt that when Dean Chen came over, he might be a supervisor, and he was worried that he would be lazy and not write well.
However, it became increasingly difficult to write later, and he had to think about it for a long time before writing a little bit.
I had lunch with my wife in the cafeteria. After the meal, I let her sleep on the bed in the consulting room for a while before going to work.
There are many dual-career workers in the hospital, so no one is jealous of them.
The next few days were uneventful. Li Chu was on duty at the health care team and spent the day writing there.
After joining the health care team for so long, he has never met any of the upper-level bosses. Those full-time doctors are often called away.
Today is exactly the sixth day since Liu Huiying came here last time, and the couple rushed here early in the morning.
Her complexion was obviously much better than last time, and the couple didn't look as gloomy as last time.
"How is it? Do you feel any changes after taking the medicine?" Li Chu asked after letting the two of them sit down.
"Doctor, I feel much better than last time. I no longer have difficulty swallowing food as before, and I vomit less often." Liu Huiying looked very excited.
