Vietnam-China People's Hospital, Burn Surgery Department.

The burned Ding Xinjuan and her daughter were arranged to be admitted to the sterile ward.

Since the two of them were covered with pot ash and herbs, they looked like two "black carbon men" from a distance.

So the Yuezhong People's Hospital immediately spread, saying that Dean Chen had found two patients with burnt bodies from somewhere, which were black and numb, which was very terrible.

Those gossipy medical staff, especially many doctors and nurses in the surgery department, ran to the burn department in groups of three or three, came to see the patients through the glass, and then pointed at the two patients.

"Oh, I'm so burned in my body. Can I still save myself?"

"Director Chen is really lucky. He can find such strange patients. This is a test of the skills of the burn department."

"It's a king bomb at the beginning. It seems that burn surgery is about to cause nerves."

"That's not necessarily, our dean has never missed it."

As the director of the major surgery department, Zhu Huoyan rushed over after hearing the news. As soon as he entered the ward, he smelled a strong fishy smell.

"Chen Qi, what's going on?"

Even though Chen Qi was the dean, he would obediently be a "lower-level doctor" to report his medical records in front of him.

"Teacher Zhu, that's right. The mother and daughter were burned when they caught fire due to family conflicts a month ago. After the burn, they had no money, so there was no formal treatment. After taking oleracin for a few days, they had to fight the infection. The family has been using folk prescriptions to treat it..."

Zhu Huoyan was also very surprised when he heard this, "I'm still alive for a month? What kind of earth recipe are you using?"

Chen Qi couldn't help but be amazed when he thought of this:

"Yes, it's the ointment made by using the ash from the pot bottom of the stove at home, with messy herbs, and stirring it with tung oil. Then you see it, and apply it all over your body, and you're like a beggar chicken."

The young doctors next to him looked at the two patients on the bed and thought that they would never eat "beggar chicken" again in their life.

Zhu Huoyan fell into deep thought. As a senior doctor, he had the same idea as Chen Qi. He immediately realized that such a large area of ​​burns would not die for a month. The so-called folk remedies must have unknown benefits.

At this time, Chen Changzhen, a Chinese medicine doctor standing at the door watching the excitement, spoke:

"Director Chen, I think this folk remedy has its merits, not a messy Chinese herbal medicine. You look down on traditional Chinese medicine. I, Lao Chen, don't accept it!"

Chen Changzhen is over 60 years old this year and is a doctor with a veteran qualification in the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

As a doctor, as long as you live for a long time, the more popular you get, the older you get, the more you become. This is true for patients and the qualifications in the unit are the same.

Chen Qi and Zhu Huoyan looked back and saw that they were Lao Chen from the Chinese medicine department, so they quickly greeted him politely:

"Teacher Chen, I'm sorry I'm using the words incorrectly, but I don't really understand a set of traditional Chinese medicine. Why don't you always explain it?"

A young doctor in the crowd shouted in discontently:

"I have seen too many cases of delayed disease due to Chinese herbal medicine in clinical practice. As for the liver and kidney toxicity caused by taking Chinese herbal medicine, there is not too much liver and kidney toxicity caused by taking Chinese herbal medicine. Especially this folk remedy is not credible at all and there is no scientific basis!"

The words of this young doctor obviously aroused the approval of many young doctors.

"That's right, what era is it, and I still believe in Chinese herbal medicine?"

"To put it bluntly, Chinese herbal medicine is a placebo effect. If you are in a terminal illness, you can use it. If you are dead, you will be treated as a living horse."

"We should still believe in science and modern medicine!"

Hearing the discussions around him, Chen Changzhen was a little annoyed even though he was old:

"What do you dolls know? How could it be a placebo after being passed down for thousands of years? Folk remedies have been used for generations. How could it be passed down if they really don't work?"

At this time, a young man in the crowd shouted again: "Teacher Chen, what scientific reason is this folk remedy for the bottom of the pot?"

Obviously, Chen Qi and Zhu Huoyan are also interested in this question, after all, these two people do not understand traditional Chinese medicine.

Chen Changzhen thought for a while and said to everyone:

"In this way, let's discuss it together. Because I don't know what Chinese herbal medicine is used in this folk remedy, I can only talk about it from a medical perspective.

First of all, after the pot bottom ash is heated at high temperature, the texture is delicate and breathable. Moreover, the pot bottom ash in traditional Chinese medicine pot bottom ash is mainly heated, which can resist external wind and cold and prevent the body from being affected by evil. It should play a role in insulation and moisturizing."

Everyone in the ward listened carefully to the explanation and analysis, and from time to time, someone nodded gently.

Chen Changzhen saw that everyone listened carefully, so he spoke even more vigorously:

"There is another thing. As long as the burn wound exists, bacteria must exist. The wound exudes and necrotics, providing sufficient food for bacterial growth, so there will be more and more bacteria. Once the bacteria enter the blood, it causes sepsis, and the patient will be in danger, right?"

“Yes, yes…”

"Okay, now let's take a look at the Chinese herbal ointment applied by these two patients. You can see if you apply layers after layers. You can feel the hard tie when touched on the surface. What does this mean? The bottom of the pot is as hard as the Chinese herbal medicine, like armor.

Well, at this point, it is equivalent to the wound inside being completely wrapped by the Chinese herbal medicine outside, forming a sealed space and an environment without oxygen. Is it conducive to the growth of bacteria or to the reproduction of bacteria?"

Chen Qi and Zhu Huoyan's eyes lit up at the same time, as if they had grasped some ideas.

Zhang Xing, the newly appointed deputy director of the Burn Department, said excitedly:

"Yes, you may not know that the most common bacteria that patients in the Burn Department feel are Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii are all aerobic bacteria. If it is a little more serious, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also aerobic bacteria.

If the ash from the ointment made from Chinese herbal medicine separates the wound from the outside and the space inside is anaerobic, it will be difficult for aerobic bacteria to survive. Perhaps this is the main reason why the patient survives in a month under the premise of such a large area of ​​burns."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Huoyan whispered to Chen Qi beside him: "Xiao Zhang's speculation makes sense."

Chen Changzhen laughed loudly after hearing this:

"Right, I just said that folk remedies can be passed down, and there must be some reason for him. Not only is the issue of anaerobic bacteria mentioned by Director Xiao Zhang, but this protective film also has another function, that is, it can keep warm and moisturizing.

What are the most feared by burn patients? It is the loss of a large amount of water, which causes water electrolyte disorders, or hypovolemia shock, etc. in Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it cold and heat imbalance, and yin and yang imbalance, which is easy to die.

Now you see, with such a protective film, the patient's moisture is locked down, so that the patient has survived the infection level and the loss of body fluids. Do you think this folk remedy is effective and beneficial for burns?”

Wawawawawawa~~ Many medical staff applauded.

Chen Changzhen finally said with emotion:

"We should not blindly slander traditional Chinese medicine, especially our medical staff should believe in the role of traditional Chinese medicine. In the era of shortage of doctors and medicines, these native methods still have a certain theoretical basis and also save many lives."

The applause rang again, and obviously many young doctors were impressed and felt that the old man Chen was quite reasonable.

Chen Qi was standing among the crowd and was quite moved. He didn't expect that there would be a "useless theory of traditional Chinese medicine" in the 1980s, especially among young people.

Whether traditional Chinese medicine is fraudulent medicine or is it really useful, this topic is also full of controversy on the Internet decades later.

For example, Ning Xgang, the famous Jishuitan burn surgeon, whose online name is "Burning Superman Abao", is the most intense anti-Traditional Chinese medicine person on the Internet.

But he forgot that even the most commonly used drug, "Meibao Moisturizing Burn Ointment", is a Chinese medicine preparation.

Of course, any problem needs to be viewed dialectically. It is normal for Chinese medicine to have their own opinions on whether it is good or bad.

But one thing is clear, that is, traditional Chinese medicine must also make progress and cannot be self-confidence.

There are also fake Chinese medicines. There are too many fake Chinese medicines that harm people a lot. It’s okay to cheat people’s money, but it’s really a real thing to do if they miss the best treatment time.

Even many real Chinese medicine practitioners prescribe prescriptions randomly in order to earn high medicines, and prescribe generously regardless of the patient's life or death. This is also wrong.

At least Chen Qi believes that if one day Chinese medicine really dies, then the executioner is not the anti-Traditional Chinese medicine group, but must be this group of people engaged in the traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine industry.

While everyone was arguing about traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Zhu Huoyan asked Chen Qi, who was thinking about her face, and said:

"By the way, has the burn area of ​​the two patients been counted?"

Chen Qi quickly replied: "I just received the patient. If you want to calculate the burn area, you have to clean up the ash. This is a big project and I can't do it alone."

Zhu Huoyan is very decisive:

"Since the patient is here, then we should not wait. We should start debridement immediately, and race against time, so that the patient will be out of danger sooner. In this way, I will debride this mother, and you will be responsible for debridement, little girl."

Chen Qi nodded. He had treated the "roasted duck commander" in Africa. He saved the life of the black commander under such difficult conditions and was an experienced doctor.

Zhang Xing was promoted by Chen Qi to deputy director of the "New Burn Surgery" department, and this is the reason he used.

Although everyone knows that Dean Chen took the opportunity to promote his confidant, because Yang Xiuxiu, who went to Africa, was appointed as the deputy head nurse of the burn surgery department, and Chen Li was also appointed as the deputy head nurse of the emergency department at the same time.

Two unmarried girls have become "a bar" in a municipal hospital, and this step is definitely ahead of their colleagues for at least 10 years.

Among them, Yi Zewen was directly in one step, from the temporary head of the emergency department, officially becoming the director of the emergency department, and with the director as the backstage, his status was quite stable.

The onlookers were driven out, and the exhaust system in the sterile ward was also turned on, otherwise the closed room would not be able to stay at all.

Zhu Huoyan and the director of burn surgery Luo Yuyang, head nurse Liu Min, and resident Cao Junnan.

Chen Qi, deputy director of burn surgery, Zhang Xing, deputy head nurse Yang Xiuxiu, and resident Wu Guoliang, group of two groups started debridement at the same time.

The purpose of debridement is to clean the ash and Chinese herbal medicines on the patient's body to expose the burn wound. This process is easy to talk about, but it is very, very difficult to do.

Because the "protective film" on the patient's body is already hard, although this effectively protects the wound, it will be difficult for you to remove these "scabbing".

Chen Qi prepared the tools and felt unbearable when he looked at this child who was like a black carbon man.

Only doctors know that the "protective layer" formed by the pot bottom ash and Chinese herbal medicines have been closely attached to the patient's skin. If the "protective film" is peeled off, the pain is no different from peeling the human skin alive.

Director Zhu's side had already started to take action, and Ding Xinjuan's screams had already resounded throughout the hospitalization department, causing the medical staff and other hospitalized families to shudder after hearing this.

“Ah~~~~~”

"It hurts~~~~"

"Help~~~~"

Ding Xinjuan's voice was already hoarse by the hot smoke, so her screaming was like a fingernail scratching the glass, which made her skin bump all over her body.

When the little patient on the hospital bed heard his mother's scream, his whole body began to tremble. Chen Qi felt distressed when he saw it, and he couldn't make a move for a long time.
