Chapter 9 Reuse of Red Peony
This is excellent. Tong Gensheng was overjoyed; if something were to happen to the chairman of Shengfeng Group at the provincial hospital this time, he, as the hospital director, would also be implicated.
"Mr. Qiao, you are too polite; this is all part of my duty," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "Since Mr. Qiao has already improved, I will take my leave now. I still have to work during the day. Please continue with the prescription, and you can reduce the dosage appropriately. With Mr. Gu overseeing, there is no need to worry about anything. I will come back for a follow-up in the evening."
"Please don't make fun of me," Chen Ying said with a chuckle. As they spoke, the two of them hailed a taxi and headed straight to Jiangzhong Second Hospital. Upon arriving at the department, they coincidentally caught the morning shift meeting and were fortunate not to be late
Mr. Qiao, please take a look." Tong Gensheng looked at Qiao Huanming; no matter how good Lin Yuan's words were, he was unwilling to take responsibility for Lin Yuan and ultimately wanted Qiao Huanming to make the decision.
Gu Senquan looked at Lin Yuan with renewed respect; Lin Yuan's ability to articulate such a statement indicates that he has given it considerable thought, rather than making baseless remarks for the sake of showing off.
Thank you, Dr. Lin! Qiao Huanming also had a beaming face and hurriedly came to express his gratitude to Lin Yuan. He had hardly slept all night, worrying throughout, and finally awaited the good news.
"Alright, Doctor Lin, please go ahead with your work. Once my father recovers, I will definitely come to express my gratitude in person." Qiao Huanming nodded with a smile, just as Lin Yuan had said, the most critical step for his father had already been passed, and as long as there were no complications, the subsequent issues would not be significant
Qiao Runsheng took the medicine, and a large group of experts from the hospital continued to wait nearby. As time passed, he took the four doses of herbal medicine in succession, yet nothing unexpected occurred. Gradually, everyone began to breathe a sigh of relief.
The only person present who did not rush to a conclusion was Gu Senquan. Gu Senquan was stunned for quite a while before slowly speaking: "Doctor Lin, is the amount of this red peony a bit too much?"
The so-called platelets are known by many who possess some common knowledge. Sometimes, when a small cut appears on the hand or elsewhere, even without medication, the wound will quickly coagulate. This is the function of platelets. Without the coagulation function of platelets, even a very small wound could lead to significant bleeding, with blood flowing uncontrollably
The other doctors also let out a cold snort, questioning whether this young man truly understands medical knowledge. Is there such a way to administer medication? Does he even comprehend what coagulation function signifies?
However, with such a large dosage, the associated risks are also significant, and this must be taken into consideration, Gu Senquan reminded.
It is not good; Mr. Qiao's condition has worsened again, and various indicators and charts have risen once more. At this moment, a doctor hurriedly walked in and said
There is no need for such a large dosage, as it is completely ineffective
Nonsense
Call!
Lin Yuan personally inspected the decoction: "In order to reduce accidents, the decoction is divided into four doses. This way, even in the presence of uncontrollable factors, we can respond in a timely manner."
It is important to note that, in addition to its effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as dispersing blood stasis and alleviating pain, Red Peony Root also possesses the function of inhibiting platelet aggregation. The efficacy of Red Peony Root in clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as dispersing blood stasis and alleviating pain, is indeed very appropriate. In fact, Gu Senquan also supports the addition of this herb; however, such a large quantity is indeed quite alarming
Dr. Lin's words are quite reasonable, but the risk of reusing such a large dose of red peony is indeed not small. If used properly, it may yield quick results, but if not... Gu Senquan did not continue speaking, but the meaning was clear; ultimately, it is still up to Qiao Huanming to make the decision. He was merely outlining the pros and cons.
Lin Yuan slowly said: "The patient's condition is currently very critical, with glutamate aminotransferase levels severely exceeding the normal range, indicating acute jaundice. The onset was sudden, and the situation is life-threatening at any moment. The severe elevation of aminotransferase levels indicates that the necrosis of the patient's liver cells is progressing very rapidly. If we use the medication at the conventional dosage, it will not yield immediate results at all"
When Qiao Huanming spoke, doctors promptly went to prepare the medicine. Before long, the herbal soup was brought over.
"There are indeed risks, as there are risks in treating illnesses and saving lives at any time." Lin Yuan nodded and said, "However, there are precedents for using large doses of red peony root. The contemporary renowned physician, Elder Wang Chengxian, proposed the treatment plan of 'cooling the blood and invigorating the blood with a heavy use of red peony root,' and he typically used around 400 grams of red peony root, which yielded excellent results"
By six o'clock in the morning, numerous experts and Lin Yuan were dozing in the consultation room when a doctor hurriedly entered, his face beaming with joy: "It worked, the new test results are out, the aminotransferase has dropped to 1200, and the bilirubin has also decreased to 150"
At this moment, many people are left speechless. Who is Elder Wang Chengxian? It is estimated that no one present is unaware of him. He is a renowned master in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, one of the few national experts currently in the country, with disciples spread across the nation. If Elder Wang Chengxian uses medicine in such a manner, who would dare to say that Lin Yuan is still being reckless?
Currently, in the medical field, especially in traditional Chinese medicine, there is a serious hierarchy based on seniority. Some prominent figures have a habit of questioning the origins of prescriptions, as many people view traditional Chinese medicine as inferior. For them, using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment is already a loss of status. If a prescription lacks a recognized source, it is considered a folk remedy, much like how they prefer to wear branded clothing.
"Hmm, very good, this method is quite effective, dividing it into four doses, the efficacy remains unchanged, yet the total amount has changed." Gu Senquan nodded and then began to administer the medication to Qiao Runsheng
"Mr. Gu, what do you mean?" Qiao Huanming looked at Gu Senquan, the only authority in traditional Chinese medicine present, making Gu Senquan's opinion very important
Isn't it a bit too much? Lin Yuan chuckled and said: "After being classmates for so long, I didn't know you were actually a young lady from a wealthy family, the cherished jewel of Wanlong Group."
The next day, Chen Ying also had to go to work. She left the provincial hospital with Lin Yuan. After exiting the hospital, Chen Ying apologized to Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, I am sorry. Last night I was just speaking casually, I didn't expect..."
In conclusion, I still want to thank you. Chen Ying said solemnly, as she was aware of her father's intentions. Not to mention anything else, Lin Yuan had cured Old Qiao, which would undoubtedly benefit her father.
Currently, Qiao Runsheng's coagulation function is already very poor. If a large dose of red peony root is used, it is highly likely to cause widespread internal bleeding, which could be life-threatening in severe cases
After listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, many doctors nodded in agreement, especially experts in traditional Chinese medicine, who expressed their approval of Lin Yuan. This young man does not use medication casually, but rather after careful consideration
It is nothing; treating illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a physician. How can one retreat simply because of inconvenience?" Lin Yuan waved his hand and said with a nonchalant smile
Although Lin Yuan's medication seems to be taking effect at the moment, Chen Ying is aware of the risks from last night. If something were to go wrong, Lin Yuan would be hard-pressed to absolve himself of responsibility
"Just follow Dr. Lin's prescription." Qiao Huanming ultimately made the decision
Currently, Lin Yuan has moved out Wang Chengxian, thus providing a basis for this case. Both the medical practitioners and Qiao Huanming must proceed with caution.
Although the patient's condition remains serious, it is showing signs of improvement. Initially, the aminotransferase levels were over 2000, but they have now decreased to 1200. This indicates that the phenomenon of hepatocyte necrosis has been brought under control, and the condition will not continue to deteriorate
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, looking in disbelief at Lin Yuan in the corner of the consultation room. Such a tricky condition was actually cured by such a young person.
Red peony root is a crucial medicine for liver diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. It has long been stated by medical practitioners that it "has a bitter taste that can drain, carries a sourness that enters the liver, and specifically drains liver fire." However, the dosage of 500 grams has caused many doctors to furrow their brows, and even Gu Senquan was taken aback by this amount.
