Chapter 3: Reuse of the White Tiger
What is raw gypsum? Jiang Haichao naturally knows that 60 grams of raw gypsum can indeed cause significant problems. He has approved this prescription, and once something goes wrong, he cannot escape responsibility.
The tides of the river and sea are great, and I cannot help but admire Lin Yuan's ability to conduct himself. Although he claims to understand some traditional Chinese medicine, he only knows a little on the surface; if it came to treating an illness, he would certainly be incapable. However, Lin Yuan has chosen him to testify, which signifies something—it signifies Lin Yuan's respect for him. If this illness is cured, he will undoubtedly reap the benefits.
The Second Hospital of Jiangzhong is a public hospital. In such state-owned hospitals, the medical skills of the director may not necessarily be the best, but their knowledge and experience are undoubtedly substantial, and they possess a good understanding of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Peng Jianhui is also not skilled in traditional Chinese medicine; however, as the director, he understands some common knowledge. What is gypsum? It is a potent medicine, also known as "Bai Hu". Its properties are very strong and cold, primarily used to clear heat and drain fire, as well as to relieve irritability and quench thirst. The usual dosage certainly does not exceed 15 grams, so using 60 grams of gypsum at one time is absolutely outrageous
Dr. Ma's statement is not comprehensive. Although gypsum is also known as Baihu, it is not a bitter cold medicine, but rather a pungent medicine, which can induce sweating and clear heat. It is particularly effective in treating febrile diseases. The patient has been ill for half a month, and the heat has penetrated deeply; it is impossible to reduce the high fever without using at least 60 grams of gypsum.
"Alright, since that is the case, Dr. Lin, please write the prescription." Zhang Kaijiang pondered for a moment before ultimately making his decision
Jiang Hai Chao was overjoyed and hurriedly nudged Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan stepped forward, first examining the patient's complexion, then checking the patient's eyes and tongue coating. Only then did he take his position, sitting beside the bed and extending his hand to rest on the patient's wrist
Director Peng, you should focus on your own well-being. Lately, you have been sweating at night, and you experience chest pain whenever you feel anxious. This issue has escalated beyond a minor concern, and if it continues to be delayed, it may become difficult to treat. Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened; he understood that at this moment, retreat was not an option. However, given his low status and influence, he could only resort to drastic measures to gain others' trust.
Upon receiving the prescription, Jiang Haichao did not examine it closely; he merely glanced at it and nodded, saying: "Not bad, this prescription is good, let us prepare the medicine according to this prescription."
Lin Yuan said only two or three sentences, yet Jiang Haichao understood that these were all genuine skills. Such a method in traditional Chinese medicine is referred to as "Liang Shanmen," which means to directly showcase one's own credentials.
Upon hearing this, Peng Jianhui scoffed. A large group of experts at their hospital had been struggling with this illness for half a month without any improvement. Lin Yuan truly had a bold claim, to recover in three days.
Peng Jianhui's expression changed dramatically, and he involuntarily took two steps back, exclaiming in horror: "You... how did you know?"
Several people nearby were quietly waiting. After about a minute, Lin Yuan released his wrist, stood up, and said: "The patient is suffering from both Qi and Yin deficiency, but the problem is not serious. I will prescribe a remedy that will ensure recovery within three days"
"Doctor Lin." Zhang Kaijiang looked at Lin Yuan; he was not a doctor and naturally did not know the good from the bad. However, he could not ignore the attitudes of Doctor Ma and Peng Jianhui.
Not to mention Peng Jianhui, even Jiang Haichao feels that Lin Yuan's tone is somewhat overconfident. It should be noted that Zhang Xin has been in the hospital during this period, and the hospital has exhausted almost all possible methods. They have used nearly all available medications, including penicillin, streptomycin, APC, and aspirin. However, the high fever still persists. How could Lin Yuan possibly expect to cure it in three days?
Dr. Ma is indeed an expert in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of Jiangzhong Second Hospital. Upon receiving the prescription, he frowned and said, "This is absurd; how can gypsum be used in this manner?"
"Doctor Lin, are you sure it will be cured in three days?" Zhang Kaijiang asked. At this moment, he also felt that Lin Yuan was somewhat too impetuous, that the young man was being too reckless. If it weren't for Lin Yuan's precise remarks about his situation, he wouldn't have even wanted to ask further.
Lin Yuan entered the ward and spoke only two or three sentences, yet Jiang Haichao's eyes lit up. He felt his heart racing, overwhelmed with excitement that was somewhat uncontrollable
There is indeed a problem with this prescription. The dosage of gypsum is as high as 60 grams, which is simply outrageous. Gypsum, also known as Baihu, is classified as a harsh medicine with cold properties. Although it can clear heat and drain fire, as well as relieve irritability and quench thirst, such a large dosage will definitely cause issues. The patient has been suffering from a high fever for an extended period, and their body is already weak. How can the patient's body possibly tolerate such a dose of medicine?
Lin Yuan nodded, walked to the side, took out paper and pen to write a prescription, and then approached Director Jiang Haichao, saying: "Director Jiang, please verify this prescription and see if there are any issues."
As soon as Peng Jianhui spoke, everyone in the ward changed their expressions dramatically, their gazes towards Lin Yuan filled with astonishment at how formidable this young doctor was
Jiang Haichao could tell that Lin Yuan was not simple, and Peng Jianhui naturally could see it as well. If Lin Yuan had been introduced by him, he would certainly be pleased to see Lin Yuan take action. However, since Lin Yuan was brought in by Jiang Haichao, he did not want to be outshone by Jiang Haichao. He hurriedly said: "You, a young person, what do you understand? Is it something you can casually speculate about regarding Mr. Zhang's matters?"
"Doctor Ma, is there a problem with this prescription?" Zhang Kaijiang asked again. Doctor Ma is known to him; he is indeed a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Although not very famous, he is somewhat well-known in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. However, traditional Chinese medicine is not in vogue at the moment; otherwise, Doctor Ma could at least have secured a position as an associate chief physician.
If Mr. Zhang does not believe, then there is nothing I can do. If the trust between doctor and patient is lost, even if Hua Tuo were alive or Bian Que were resurrected, it would be of no use
Zhang Kaijiang also squinted his eyes, filled with a sense of shock. As the heir of the Mingshi Group, he had naturally met many renowned doctors over the years and had heard numerous stories. Some well-known traditional Chinese medicine practitioners indeed possess the ability to diagnose a person's condition at a glance, yet these were merely hearsay, and such esteemed practitioners are all masters in their field.
I will take a look! Peng Jianhui, feeling somewhat unwilling, grabbed the prescription from the side and examined it carefully. However, after just a glance, he let out a cold snort and said: "Nonsense, simply nonsense"
First, astonish you, making you dare not underestimate, so that the subsequent matters can proceed smoothly
Zhang Kaijiang is actually aware of his daughter's condition. Jiangzhong Second Hospital cannot be said to have not done its utmost; however, the illness has not improved, which proves that this disease is indeed troublesome. Even if she were transferred to the provincial hospital, Zhang Kaijiang would not dare to guarantee that she would recover in just a few days
For instance, Lin Yuan, with just two sentences, stunned Zhang Kaijiang. To put it plainly, this method resembles some tactics from the martial world, yet it is the most practical. The first move employed is the "Shock" technique from the Eight Gates of the martial world.
Zhang Kaijiang waved his hand, a hint of a smile appearing on his face: "Since that is the case, then Doctor Lin can take a look, it won't take much time anyway"
This is akin to a scene in a martial arts television show where two individuals meet and introduce themselves: "I am Qin Shubao." The other person bows slightly and replies, "I am Cheng Yaojin."
Upon hearing Dr. Ma's words, Jiang Haichao immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Just a moment ago, he had not even looked at the prescription; he merely felt that Lin Yuan should possess some skills. At the same time, he was somewhat stunned by Lin Yuan's impressive entrance earlier, leading to a blind confidence in him. However, upon hearing this now, he could only feel a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head
Nonsense! Peng Jianhui let out a cold snort again: "Whatever you say goes, but who will take responsibility if the patient encounters a problem?"
No problem
"What is the matter? Is there something wrong with this prescription?" Zhang Kaijiang inquired
"It is not just a problem; it is a serious problem." Peng Jianhui casually handed the prescription to a middle-aged doctor nearby and said, "Dr. Ma, take a look at this. Is this nonsense? Using 60 grams of gypsum? Is this a matter of life and death?"
Cured in three days
Such a greeting has a prerequisite: first, the name must be prominent; if it is not prominent, even if one has registered, others will not recognize it. The same principle applies to this bright mountain gate, which is also based on true ability
However, Lin Yuan before me is able to hit the nail on the head time and again; this skill is truly reminiscent of a national master
