Chapter 87: Other tricks

"My dad had a stroke two months ago, and although he was not paralyzed, he couldn't speak. I found a lot of Chinese medicine and Western medicine to see, but it didn't work, he used to talk a lot, but now he can't speak, and he is in a hurry. ”

Zuo Li thought for a while and said, "You are here for a physical examination, but since you are sick, you still need treatment." Do you want me to help him heal? ”

The tunic was surprised and delighted: "Okay, do you have a way?" However, I have heard that the older you get, the more experienced you are. - Dr. Zuo, I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that you don't have enough experience. ”

"I don't dare pack tickets either, but I can give it a try. Because your old chief made a special call to tell me to give special attention to these old cadres. I have no other care, I can only do my best to help them solve their pain, and I just try my best, and the treatment effect is not good. ”

The tunic looked at the old man, and the old man's eyes were obviously a little worried about Zuo Li, but he finally nodded. So the tunic said to Zuo Li: "My dad agreed." Then please, Dr. Zuo. ”

Zuo Li said: "I have already checked the pulse of the old man and understood the condition. But I don't know much about his cerebral hemorrhage, I need relevant information, I don't know if you have any medical records of the old man who suffered a stroke in the hospital at that time? If you have any, you can provide it to me so that I can help the elderly with treatment. Of course, if it is difficult to find information, we can live directly in the TCM department of our hospital, and we will do a physical examination for the elderly, and it will be clear. ”

The tunic was a little puzzled: "Hospitalization examination? Doesn't TCM prescribe medicine to take back? Can I also be hospitalized? ”

Zuo Li smiled bitterly. From the other party's words, he also knows that many people in this era have really not been in contact with traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, the understanding of Chinese medicine is very one-sided and even wrong. Just like this tunic suit, he didn't even know that Chinese medicine could be hospitalized, and he thought that Chinese medicine would prescribe medicine and take it home to decoction and eat it.

At that moment, Zuo Li nodded and said: "Yes, we have a Chinese medicine department in the inpatient department, and the inpatient treatment is more systematic." We can adjust the medication according to the situation, and it is convenient to acupuncture, cupping, massage and so on in the hospital, and it also saves the elderly from running back and forth and being tired from traveling. ”

The tunic looked at his father again. The old cadre nodded vigorously again, so the tunic said: "Okay, then let's be hospitalized, I hope it can cure my father's inability to speak." Doctor Zuo, how sure are you? ”

Zuo Li shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. ”

The patient was admitted to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Third Hospital.

In the following week or so, Zuo Li adjusted the prescription three times, but the old leader still couldn't speak. Zuo Li's mouth was foaming in a hurry, and looking at the increasingly distrustful eyes of patients and their families, Zuo Li was anxious.

Zuo Li decided to ask his master Yang Tianbao for help.

He called his sister Yang Qiong and said that he wanted to come over to see Master. After Yang Qiong told her father Yang Tianbao, she agreed to go home for dinner the next afternoon.

Zuo Li took his medical records and bought two bottles of Master's favorite Moutai wine and came to Master Yang Tianbao's house.

Yang Qiong was busy in the kitchen with her mother, and Zuo Li accompanied her master Yang Tianbao to talk in the living room.

Yang Tianbao obviously has a greater change in his attitude than the last time Zuo Lilai. Zuo Li quickly understood that it was because of the old chief's incident, because Yang Tianbao mentioned this matter as soon as he opened his mouth: "The old chief told me, saying that you felt his pulse and found that there was no tumor in his body, but unfortunately he and his wife didn't believe it, including your dean Gu Zhijie didn't believe it either, and the treatment team you were with looked down on my Yang Tianbao's apprentice, how about it?" The facts educate them. Actually, I had felt his pulse before, and I didn't find any tumors. ”

"I'm glad that you have boosted your ambition for Chinese medicine. Very good, the old chief praised you vigorously, saying that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals. Of course, my Yang Tianbao's apprentice doesn't have pustules, and you are the best among my apprentices! ”

Zuo Li smiled: "Thank you Master for complimenting, in fact, I have a lot of things that need to be taught by Master." ”

"I know, you're an owl who comes into the house for nothing, let's say, what's the trouble?"

"Master is so powerful, I can see through it at a glance. It is like this, a retired veteran cadre of the army suddenly suffered a stroke a few days ago, and after being rescued, he was not hemiplegic, but he could not speak. Originally, he didn't come to see me, but to our hospital for a physical examination. After I found out that he had aphasia, I offered to help him treat him, and he agreed, and more than a week passed after I was hospitalized, and I changed the medicine three times to no effect, and I was very anxious. I'm afraid that I will disappoint the old chief's ardent hopes, can Master give me some guidance? ”

Yang Tianbao said: "Did he bring his medical records?" I see that in addition to carrying wine, you also took a bag of things. ”

"Brought it, I've printed it all."

"Anyway, there's still a little time before dinner, I'll take a look first, and I'll help you come up with ideas if I can." Otherwise, you will leave the information and I will tell you if I think of a way. - The disease you can't cure must be very tricky, and I don't dare to give random instructions, I have to think about it. ”

"Yes, Master."

Zuo Li took all the medical records and handed them to Yang Tianbao.

Yang Tianbao looked at it very carefully, especially Zuo Li's three prescriptions.

After reading it, he frowned and said, "I think your three prescriptions are all right, even if it were me, I'm afraid I will treat it like this." So I haven't thought of a new approach yet. By the way, has he seen other Chinese medicine practitioners before? ”

"Nope."

"It's strange that your three recipes don't work. I can't think of a better way to come up with a better recipe than your three recipes. Therefore, it can basically be said that using decoctions will not work, and you can only think of other ways. ”

Being able to get the affirmation of Master Yang Tianbao, Zuo Li felt a little down-to-earth in his heart, and said, "Thank you, Master, I also want to use other treatment methods." But I've also used acupuncture on him, and it doesn't work! Is there any other way? ”

Yang Tianbao frowned, stood up and turned around several times with his hands behind his back before he said: "Decoction and acupuncture have no effect, so there is only one way." ”

"What's the solution? Master. ”

"Drug fumigation!"

Zuo Li was slightly stunned.

There are many kinds of treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine, and drug fumigation is one of them. However, it is generally used for chronic diseases such as skin diseases or joint pain, and is rarely used for stroke or stroke aphasia.

Therefore, Zuo Li hadn't even thought of using this method before, and after hearing what Master said, he had a feeling of being sudden. But he was somewhat unsure in his heart, and asked, "Master, do you think it has an effect when you use medicine to fumigate?" ”

"It's hard to say, but since you have used the two great tricks of traditional Chinese medicine, decoction and acupuncture, and there is no effect, then you have to think of other ways. Try drug fumigation, it is recorded in ancient books that medical fumigation has cured cases such as stroke and aphasia, but the number is relatively small. Because of general stroke aphasia, using decoction and acupuncture can solve the problem, your case can't solve the problem, and the prescription of decoction and acupuncture have no problem, so I really can't think of any good way except for other methods. ”
