Ouyang Tian put away his cynical expression, his eyes were a little confused, and said: "That year, SARS suddenly broke out, and this kind of atypical pneumonia was caused by the SARS virus. You know, antibiotics like penicillin, cephalosporin, etc., are actually only effective against pneumonia caused by bacteria, but against viruses, they have no effect at all.

In other words, Western medicine has not been able to destroy viruses until now, because viruses are smaller than bacteria and are hidden in human cells.

SARS was a large-scale epidemic in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, and later entered the Kyoto area, causing an epidemic.

At that time, tension was high in the country, and almost all Western medicine experts were actively studying how to treat this disease, while all Chinese medicine practitioners were almost excluded. TCM is not allowed to participate in the treatment, and TCM is not allowed to treat SARS patients, why?

This is because the leaders of the Ministry of Health do not believe that Chinese medicine can cure this infectious disease! From the bottom of their hearts, they feel that Chinese medicine can only be used to regulate the body, strengthen the yang, and treat chronic diseases such as arthritis. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Tian suddenly looked at Tang Feng and said, "Do you remember how many people died from SARS?"

Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "It seems to be more than three hundred." ”

"More than three hundred?" Ouyang Tian laughed mockingly, and said: "I can't say for sure how many people were isolated in various parts of Kyoto, but back then, in addition to the major hospitals, Kyoto temporarily requisitioned a lot of secret sanatoriums, prisons, etc., all of which were used as quarantine areas, and batches of patients were sent to them. ”

Ouyang Tian sighed, suddenly waved his hand, stood up, walked to the door, looked at the dripping rain, and said, "I don't want to mention those things anymore, but I have to say that the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine at that time was really amazing."

At that time, Guangdong Province was the largest SARS outbreak area, and all hospitals were trembling, silent, and when they saw suspected SARS cases, they pushed them into big hospitals and sent them to the isolation zone. Fear of responsibility.

However, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a wide open door, insisting on using the dialectical means of traditional Chinese medicine to receive patients who come to the clinic for treatment. They do not test for the virus, do not do SARS diagnostic experiments, and treat every patient equally.

In that month, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine received an innumerable number of patients, and all of them were discharged from the hospital, and there was no death. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "No wonder among all the traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in our country, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine can still maintain the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Ouyang Tian nodded and said, "Yes, the performance of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the SARS period convinced the local people very much, so it has also become the only traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the country that can compete with Western hospitals." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It seems that SARS is a challenge and an opportunity for Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. ”

Ouyang Tian didn't turn his head, still looking at the rain outside the door, and said sadly: "It's a pity that after the SARS virus receded, at the SARS celebration, there was not a single word that mentioned the credit of the Chinese medicine hospital.

The Ministry of Health only said two reasons: first, you Chinese medicine has never seen SARS at all, let alone found out that it was caused by the SARS coronavirus, so how can you treat SARS? Second, although your major traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have cured many suspected SARS patients during the SARS period, have you been diagnosed?

Tang Feng stood up and said angrily: "But Chinese medicine does not treat diseases according to the virus, although Chinese medicine has never seen SARS virus or influenza A virus, it does not mean that Chinese medicine is not good." ”

Ouyang Tian nodded, turned around, and said with a mocking smile: "Yes, but the people from the Ministry of Health don't think so." What is even more tragic is that those patients who survived in isolation began to develop necrosis of the femoral head and brittle bones all over the body after half a year due to the heavy use of hormones during the SARS treatment, and now there are thousands of people lying in bed and can only rely on the care of their families.

Their lives are unmanageable, their lungs begin to develop fibrosis again, their psychology begins to be depressed and bored, and now, almost every month, patients with SARS sequelae kill themselves. ”

Tang Feng sat down on the stool decadently and said, "It turns out that there is still so much suffering hidden in this. ”

"Because the life of patients with SARS sequelae is too difficult, Hong Kong has given more than 500,000 subsidies to each patient with SARS sequelae, while the mainland Red Cross Society has issued subsidies of 5,000 per year to each patient, and it is still in arrears from time to time. ”

Ouyang Tian's voice was lowered, and tears almost appeared in the corners of his eyes, "I have taken the initiative to receive dozens of patients with SARS sequelae, I want to help them, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that their bodies have been completely damaged by hormones, and the yin and yang are extremely unbalanced. ”

Ouyang Xue walked out at this time, gently took Ouyang Tian's arm, and said, "Grandpa, don't talk about the past." ”

Ouyang Tian touched Ouyang Xue's head, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's all over." It was in that year that I was discouraged, so I retired from the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and also took the initiative to retire from the position of the Provincial Health Department. ”

Tang Feng was silent, and from the conversation with Ouyang Tian, he was even more worried about the current situation of Chinese medicine.

Ouyang Xue said: "Tang Feng, don't talk to grandpa about these old things anymore, didn't you come to consult grandpa about the plague?"

Tang Feng thought about it and said, "Grandpa, you said that if it is a plague that breaks out at this time, how should it be treated?"

Ouyang Tian didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"

Tang Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, although he inherited the medical skills of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, but in the Tang Dynasty, the treatment of plague in traditional Chinese medicine was not systematic, and the main development period was in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Seeing Tang Feng's expression, Ouyang Tian couldn't help laughing, and said, "You haven't experienced it, so it's normal to feel like you don't know where to start." In fact, to put it bluntly, the plague is just a relatively serious epidemic virus cold. ”

Tang Feng nodded.

Ouyang Tiandao: "Whether it is influenza A or SARS, it comes down to traditional Chinese medicine, it is an external sense, and in the early stage, it can be treated according to wind chill or wind heat cold." However, influenza A and SARS are very aggressive, and they tend to change within a day or two.

The third stage is that after the condition is stabilized, you can choose to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, nourish yin and clear heat, etc.

In fact, it can be summed up in four words: dialectical argumentation. ”

In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, although it is a disease caused by the same virus, due to different infected people, different times, different seasons, etc., the treatment methods to be taken are different.

After Tang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Ouyang, it seems that this plague is nothing special. ”

Ouyang Tian said with a smile: "In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the plague is nothing to be afraid of, but it is very contagious, so whether it is a doctor or a patient, we must pay attention to prevention." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Ouyang Tian was a little puzzled and asked, "Tang Feng, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, do you know the doctor?"

Ouyang Tiandao: "Do you mean the witch doctor faction?"

Tang Feng nodded.

Ouyang Tian recalled for a moment and said: "In fact, there is a theory of 'harmony with yin and yang, law and magic' in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", but it seems that this sect has disappeared. ”

Tang Feng smiled: "When I went back to my hometown, I met a descendant of the Surgical Medicine Sect, uh, it's amazing. ”

"Magical?" Ouyang Xue wondered.

Tang Feng nodded, and told Mo Yan about helping pregnant women on the train that day.

Ouyang Tian stroked his beard and was silent, Tang Feng found that when Ouyang Tian was thinking about the problem, he was still very masterly.

Tang Feng didn't say anything about Mo Yan's appearance at the bottom of Zhang Zhongjing's tomb, but said: "This descendant of the sorcerer told me this morning that according to the deduction of the five fortunes and six qi of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, in the next few days, there will be a large-scale plague in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the Lianghu region. ”

Ouyang Tian's face became solemn, and he couldn't help but say: "No wonder there will be such a scene as sun and rain, the combination of humidity and heat is the best time for the plague to break out." ”

Tang Feng said: "Grandpa Ouyang, do you think so too?"

Ouyang Tian said: "If that woman is really a descendant of the Martial Doctor, then her inference is very likely. You know, although the surgeons are not as good as the clinical treatment, they are very good at finding the truth of heaven and earth. ”

When Tang Feng heard Ouyang Tian's words, he was already ninety-nine percent sure of Mo Yan's inference in his heart.

Mo Yan is the heir of the ancient art doctor, while Tang Feng inherited the medical skills of Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty, and Ouyang Tian is the leader of the contemporary Chinese medicine team.

At this time, Mo Yan, Tang Feng, and Ouyang Tian all deduced that there would be an outbreak of the plague, so Tang Feng was basically certain that in the next few days, Jinling City would be enveloped by infectious diseases!

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn.

Ouyang Xue stood behind Ouyang Tian, kneading the old man's shoulder, and she couldn't help but interject: "Tang Feng, isn't your Guangji Hall about to open? Perhaps, this is a good opportunity for the Guangji Hall to take off." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "I'm just worried that Guangjitang won't be able to defeat this plague, and I'm worried that thousands of people in Jinling City will lose their lives and tens of thousands of people will be disabled. ”

Ouyang Tian slapped the table and said, "Just do your best, save as many people as you can." Good grandson-in-law, I have decided, I will also come to your Guangji Hall for consultation, and we will face the plague together. At the time of SARS, I could only watch so many patients suffer from hormones, and this time, I absolutely could not stand idly by. ”

Tang Feng looked at the heroic Ouyang Tian, also stood up, and said, "Grandpa, you're right, do your best, save as much as you can." ”

Ouyang Xue also pouted and said, "I'm also going to Guangji Hall." ”

Tang Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not good, Jinling City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is more important, and there are more patients, so Uncle Ouyang won't be able to do it alone." ”

Ouyang Xue was helpless, but she knew that what Tang Feng said was the truth, although there were more traditional Chinese medicine in Jinling City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, most of them were traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who could only prescribe Western medicine, and they could not distinguish and treat plague patients at all.

In the following time, Tang Feng, Ouyang Tian and Ouyang Xue discussed the Chinese medicinal materials that might be used in this plague. Since the specific form of the plague could not be determined, the trio could only infer the Chinese medicinal materials that might need to be used based on previous SARS and influenza A.

And no matter how you deduce it, Xia Kulan, a necessary medicine for the plague, is indispensable.

Tang Feng and Ouyang Xue stayed at Ouyang Tian's house for lunch, and it was not until nearly evening that the three of them finally finalized the fourteen flavors of Chinese medicine, all of which may be used in large quantities in this plague, but the output is relatively small. After all, this type of herb is the most likely to increase in price.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sun was almost setting.

Tang Feng took the list of medicinal materials and said, "Grandpa, grandma, Xue'er and I will go back first." ”

Ouyang Xue's grandmother was very kind, took Tang Feng's hand affectionately, and said, "Let's go back after dinner." ”

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Next time, grandma, there is something to do this time." ”

The heavy rain fell even harder, so Tang Feng and Ouyang Xue got into the little beetle and drove towards the Jinling City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
