Chapter 007: Healing by Covering the Cup
Huang Yaoshi carefully poured the medicinal juice and said unhurriedly: "This side only provides a decoction service for one dose of Chinese medicine, and if you exceed one dose, you need to go home and decoction by yourself." And those marked with the word 'rapid decoction', on the premise of ensuring the efficacy of the medicine, should not stick to the dogma. ”
"Therefore, in a hurry, there is no need to cook ephedra soup according to the original recipe, reduce two liters, remove the foam, and then accept the medicine, right?" Zhang Jing asked as he spoke.
"Ephedra is not fried first, this has little to do with whether it is fried urgently, ephedra only needs to be boiled first when the dosage exceeds two taels, that is, 30 grams, so as not to diverge too much, make people's hearts beat faster, and even sweat does not stop."
Zhang Jing nodded again and again after hearing this, and sure enough, he was worthy of the National Medical Hall, and the old pharmacist who decocted medicine was by no means an idle person.
Originally, I wanted to ask Huang Yaoshi for more advice, but I couldn't delay it because I was worried about the patient with high fever.
So he said goodbye first, and walked quickly to the lounge with the thermos cup in both hands.
Pushing open the door, Zhang Jing found that the female patient was half-lying on the sofa chair, obviously looking drowsy.
However, when she saw Zhang Jing, the female patient immediately cheered up and said excitedly: "Is the medicine decoction ready?"
"Well, it's still a little hot, so I'll have to wait another two minutes."
Zhang Jing said as he placed the medicine cup on the small coffee table next to him and unscrewed the lid of the cup so that it could cool down as soon as possible.
"It's still hard to feel like this, right?" Zhang Jing leaned over and asked with concern.
"That's right, my whole body is very sore, I'm very afraid of the cold, and my mind is dizzy, and I especially want to sleep." The female patient's voice sounded a little soft.
"Well, don't worry, if you drink this medicine, your body will be comfortable."
"Good! I also heard from a friend that all the Chinese medicine practitioners here are very powerful, and then I took a minibus to find it, I hope it is not wrong. ”
Zhang Jing knows very well that the reason why Guoyitang has become a gold-lettered signboard famous all over the country is not because of "advertising", but because of the exact efficacy and the good reputation of patients.
"The temperature of the Chinese medicine is almost there, you should drink it all while it's hot."
"Good!" The female patient takes the medicine cup.
"Drink it as quickly as possible, it may be a little numb, but don't worry, it's because there is a taste of raw ephedra in it, which is a normal taste of Chinese medicine."
The female patient nodded again, and then drank the potion down.
"Now, you can zip up your down jacket all the way up and tuck your neck into the collar. Feel free to tell me if you have any reactions. Zhang Jing continued to explain.
"Good!" The female patient replied again.
About two or three minutes later.
The female patient suddenly said, "I'm so hot!" ”
After that, he was ready to unzip it.
Zhang Jing hurriedly stopped her and explained: "Knowing that heat is a good thing, sweat will come out immediately, and the cold and virus on your body will also be discharged together." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw fine beads of sweat begin to appear on the female patient's forehead.
Immediately after that, my face began to sweat as well.
"Dr. Zhang, I'm really hot, I feel like I'm sweating all over, and I still can't take off my clothes?"
"Yes, hold on a little longer, and when you sweat through, you can get better faster."
As she was talking, the female patient sniffed and suddenly excitedly said, "Dr. Zhang, I feel as if my nose is completely ventilated!" ”
After a while, they reported on the "battle situation" one after another.
"My head doesn't hurt anymore."
"The joints are much more comfortable."
"I feel like my temperature is starting to drop!"
Zhang Jing also touched the female patient's forehead with the back of his hand, and he did feel cool and cool.
However, Zhang Jing knows very well that the local skin becomes cool after sweating, which does not mean that the body temperature of the whole body must have dropped.
Counting can only be made if measured by an armpit thermometer.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Jing hurriedly confessed to the female patient and said, "You continue to cover your sweat, I'll go find a thermometer." ”
The female patient nodded repeatedly.
Soon, Zhang Jing borrowed a mercury thermometer from the front desk of the outpatient clinic.
Pinch the tail of the thermometer and shake it vigorously, then hand it to the female patient: "Clamp it under the armpit, and the head of the thermometer must be close to the skin." ”
After the explanation, don't look away, so as not to embarrass the female patient.
A few minutes later, the measurement time ended, and the female patient handed the thermometer back to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing took it carefully with both hands, took a deep breath, and then slowly turned the thermometer when he saw a thick line intersecting with the digital scale plane.
He couldn't believe his eyes, because the number on them was 36.7
"Sure enough, it's healing when the cup is covered!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
It was a female patient who didn't understand it for a while.
Anxiously asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"The temperature has dropped to normal!" Zhang Jing excitedly pointed out the thermometer to her.
The female patient grinned.
"Thank you! Thank you so much, Dr. Zhang! ”
"Hey! This is all due to my teacher, Dr. Li Yu. Zhang Jing didn't dare to be greedy, and hurriedly corrected.
"No, you and Director Li have to be grateful, to be honest, I have never seen such a responsible doctor like you."
Seeing that the female patient's eyes were full of sincerity, Zhang Jing's heart couldn't help but be touched.
That's right, that's what it should be like between doctors and patients!
I don't know when the conflict between doctors and patients has become increasingly prominent, and incidents of injuries to doctors have occurred from time to time.
Many people believe that as the social atmosphere becomes more and more impetuous, patients have become more and more "angry".
In fact, Zhang Jing doesn't think so.
He feels that the word "indifference" may be the most critical fuse.
Don't you see, why do these injuries usually happen in large general hospitals?
Moreover, the target of the wounded doctor is often the authority in the hospital or even in the industry?
Actually, this has nothing to do with medical skills at all.
Basically, it doesn't have much to do with medical ethics.
However, because Western medicine is evidence-based science and pays attention to using data to speak, it will overrely on various examination methods.
In a sense, they are dealing with individual cases, not sick people.
Therefore, in the process of diagnosis and treatment, there is not much emphasis on communication with patients.
Because they firmly believe that data doesn't deceive, and that patient descriptions can be subjective and unreliable.
In this respect, TCM is completely different, because the core of TCM is people-oriented.
Whether it is the theory of the unity of heaven and man, the use of analogies, the circulation of one qi, or the idea of dialectical argumentation, all of them regard man as a whole.
As for suffering from all kinds of diseases, in the final analysis, it is just an imbalance of yin and yang in the body.
Therefore, from the most fundamental point of view, it is only necessary to adjust the yin and yang so that the yin and yang can be rebalanced.
On the other hand, according to Western medical theory, if you encounter a patient who only has symptoms of high fever.
Regardless of men, women, young and old, and regardless of their normal physique, they must be handled indiscriminately.
Use "antipyretics" first, and if the fever recurs, then start the so-called evidence-based treatment.
……
"Doctor Zhang, do I need to ask Director Li for some medicine? Otherwise, what should I do if I go back and burn again? ”
The female patient's question pulled Zhang Jing back from his thoughts.
"This ......" Zhang Jing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Unlike the principle of antipyretics in Western medicine, once the fever is reduced in traditional Chinese medicine, it usually does not repeat. However, you can follow me and ask Mr. Li again to see if you need to prescribe some more Chinese medicine to regulate the body. ”
"Okay, okay." The female patient nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Jing then led the female patient out of the medicine lounge.
However, instead of going upstairs directly to find Li Yu, he went to the decoction room first to return the medicine cup.
"Why did you send it yourself, you don't need it at all, I will go to the lounge regularly every day to collect it."
Huang Yaoshi's face looked a little surprised.
In fact, he secretly thought in his heart: This young man is really good, it seems that Li Yu has a successor.
"It's okay, it's just a casual thing. By the way, Huang Yaoshi, I want to come over and learn more from you when I have time back, can I ask you? Zhang Jing asked politely.
Huang Yaoshi grinned and smiled: "Of course, young man, it's rare that you look up to me so much." I'll tell you about the little comrade in charge of registration, the door of the decoction room will be open to you at any time. ”
