Emperor Hongzhi's guards came to the Gastroenterology Department in advance and arranged everything. As soon as Emperor Hongzhi arrived, he immediately took Emperor Hongzhi to Professor Zhang Zhigang's side.
After all, he is the emperor, and his subordinates will naturally not ask Emperor Hongzhi to wait in line. Whether it is money or power, they will not let Emperor Hongzhi wait.
If he was not traveling in plainclothes, doctors from the affiliated hospitals should be allowed to go to the palace to treat Emperor Hongzhi.
Zhang Zhigang's office is located in a relatively remote location and is relatively clean. Generally, those who come to Zhang Zhigang's office are noble people or those with illnesses that doctors cannot diagnose.
At this time, with the arrival of Emperor Hongzhi and his entourage, Zhang Zhigang's office was surrounded both inside and outside by Emperor Hongzhi's guards, which made Zhang Zhigang also puzzled as to who was coming here.
"Professor Zhang, our master and a few friends came to your place to check up on his health. Please keep this matter confidential."
Xiao Jing came to Zhang Zhigang in advance, stuffed a wad of banknotes into Zhang Zhigang's hands, and whispered instructions.
"I understand, sir, please rest assured."
Zhang Zhigang nodded solemnly and said, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice. There are many noble people in the capital. The most important thing in treating noble people is not medical skills, but keeping one's mouth secret. What can and cannot be said, what should be said in one's heart.
clear.
Soon, Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian arrived at Zhang Zhigang's office, and Zhang Zhigang also came out in advance to greet them.
Welcoming several people in very warmly.
Zhang Zhigang looked at Emperor Hongzhi and others carefully, his eyes immediately locked on Emperor Hongzhi and said: "Is this noble person coming to check his body?"
After practicing medicine for many years, he can tell at a glance whether a person's health is good or not.
The Emperor Hongzhi in front of him was extremely thin, his face was dull, and his mental state was very poor. He could tell at a glance that he was sick, and he had not been sick for a day or two.
"Haha, it's me, I'm troubling Professor Zhang."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty, please sit down."
Zhang Zhigang nodded slightly and motioned for Emperor Hongzhi to sit down.
Emperor Hongzhi followed Zhang Zhigang's instructions, sat on the chair, stretched out his hand, and began to feel the pulse.
Zhang Zhigang carefully felt Emperor Hongzhi's pulse. He had been practicing medicine for many years. As soon as Emperor Hongzhi's pulse came into his hands, he couldn't help but frown.
Soon, he put down his hand for diagnosing the pulse, thought for a moment and asked: "Does the noble man have a loss of appetite and a bad appetite?"
"My appetite is really bad, and I only eat a small bowl of rice every day."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and said.
"Don't you know that noble people are noble?"
Zhang Zhigang nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"I'm already thirty-three this year."
Emperor Hongzhi also replied truthfully.
"What?"
"Only thirty-three?"
When Zhang Zhigang heard this, he immediately looked at Emperor Hongzhi in disbelief.
The Emperor Hongzhi in front of him does not look like he is thirty-three years old in any case, but more like an old man in his fifties. His hair is gray, his skin is dull and wrinkled, and he is so energetic.
Worse.
"It is indeed thirty-three."
Emperor Hongzhi said again.
"You have a loss of appetite. It must have been for several years, right?"
Zhang Zhigang nodded slightly and asked again.
"It's been several years, almost seven or eight years."
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and replied.
"I'll take your blood pressure."
Zhang Zhigang took out the blood pressure monitor and was about to measure Emperor Hongzhi's blood pressure.
"What's this?"
Xiao Jing, who had been nervous and concerned next to him, asked quickly.
"This is a blood pressure meter, specially used to test a person's blood pressure. The level of blood pressure can also diagnose some things."
"This is a treatment tool invented by Liu Jin, the founder of our Daming Medical College."
Zhang Zhigang explained.
"Measurement of blood pressure?"
When several people heard this, they were a little confused. The Ming Medical College was really strange and had new medical tools. However, Emperor Hongzhi still cooperated and took up his sleeves to measure his blood pressure.
"My lord, your blood pressure is really too low."
After measuring Emperor Hongzhi's blood pressure, Zhang Zhigang couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"What is the impact of high and low blood pressure?"
Emperor Hongzhi also asked quickly.
"The so-called blood pressure is actually the power of our human heart to supply blood pressure to the whole body. If this power is too weak, the blood supply to the whole body will be insufficient."
"Do you often feel dizzy, noble?"
Zhang Zhigang explained that this is a new research project at Daming Medical College, and the research on blood pressure has initially produced some results.
"Yes, I often feel dizzy."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
"My lord, could you please open your mouth and stick out your tongue?"
Zhang Zhigang nodded slightly, thought for a while and then said.
"sure."
When Emperor Hongzhi saw Xiao Jing next to him who wanted to speak, he smiled first and said.
After speaking, he was very cooperative. Under Zhang Zhigang's guidance, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's tongue, Zhang Zhigang couldn't help but shake his head. Most people's tongues are red, but Emperor Hongzhi's tongue was dark and cyan.
"Does your stomach hurt when you walk a lot?"
"Yes there will be."
"When the weather gets cold, do you also get abdominal pain?"
"Yes, yes~"
"Is the location of the abdominal pain located on the lower right side?"
Zhang Zhigang asked while touching his stomach.
"Yes, that's the problem."
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up slightly. This doctor from Daming Medical College was really amazing. He could know everything after just a few glances.
At the same time, hope was ignited in his heart. Zhang Zhigang could actually say this, which meant that he should know what the disease was. If he knew, there was hope that it could be cured.
"Professor Zhang, I wonder what disease my husband has?"
Zhang Mao on the side couldn't bear it anymore and asked anxiously.
"This is appendicitis (also known as appendicitis)!"
Zhang Zhigang thought for a while and said.
"Intestinal carbuncle?"
When Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others heard this, they immediately shouted in unison.
"Yes, this must be intestinal carbuncle."
Zhang Zhigang said with great certainty, and then took out a human anatomy diagram and pointed to the location of the appendix and said: "In our human intestines and stomach, there is such a very special intestine. It does not have any exit. Once there is
If fecal stones enter it, intestinal carbuncle will slowly form over time."
"There are two types of intestinal carbuncle. One is acute intestinal carbuncle. In a very short period of time, if this section of intestine is not surgically removed, you will definitely die."
"There is another kind of chronic intestinal carbuncle like Guiren, which lasts for a long time and has a long disease duration. Over time, it affects appetite and digestion, leading to weight loss and weight loss. In addition, there are symptoms such as abdominal pain, distension and dizziness.
.”
Zhang Zhigang explained here, while everyone next to him looked at the picture and listened carefully. This was the first time they saw the anatomy of the human body, and they also knew that there was such a special intestine in the human intestines.
"But why did our husband go to other places for medical treatment? Other doctors said that our husband had been weak and sick since he was a child, which led to his poor appetite and weight loss."
After Xiao Jing heard this, he thought about it and asked.
"Did they also prescribe a lot of prescriptions for your master to nourish the body, and drink ginseng soup every day?"
Zhang Zhigang asked with a smile.
"this?"
Hearing Zhang Zhigang's words, Xiao Jing couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, because the imperial doctor in the palace was indeed what Zhang Zhigang said. Every time he treated Emperor Hongzhi, he always said the same words and prescribed the same prescription.
, body replenishment, maintenance, ginseng soup, etc.
"Because of the intestinal carbuncle in the body, this noble man's body has reached the point of exhaustion and is very weak. With all due respect, if it is not treated in time, he will only be able to survive for another three or four years at most.
.”
Zhang Zhigang thought about it and said directly.
"What?"
"Three or four years."
When Emperor Hongzhi and others heard this, they were all frightened.
"Professor Zhang, are you sure?"
Zhang Mao asked anxiously.
"I can be very sure of this. I have not encountered intestinal carbuncle once or twice. I have encountered dozens of people with the same symptoms as your noble friend."
"Your Excellency, you have been suffering from intestinal carbuncle for a long time. Your body is actually very weak and your body is not replenished. No matter how much tonics and ginseng you take, it will not have any effect."
"On the contrary, taking these tonics has further worsened your appetite. What you need is not to take supplements, but to eat. Only by eating more rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruits can your body improve.
"
"But in the final analysis, the noble man still needs to cure the intestinal carbuncle. If the intestinal carbuncle is not cured, the noble man has no appetite. Even if he eats something hard, he will not be able to digest it and will become even more uncomfortable."
Zhang Zhigang said with great certainty that he was already sure that the noble man in front of him had intestinal carbuncle. At the same time, he sighed and said: "Quack doctors are harmful to people. If the noble man's disease was not caused by tonics prescribed by quack doctors, it would not be like this."
Seriously, if chronic intestinal carbuncle does not turn into acute intestinal carbuncle, as long as you exercise more and eat more, it will not be like this and you can still live a normal life."
"But the noble person's body itself has a poor appetite due to intestinal carbuncle, and he also takes a lot of supplements. Naturally, his body cannot bear it. This is already the case at the age of thirty-three."
Zheng Zhigang shook his head as he said it. He is already like this at the age of thirty-three. It is really unbelievable.
"Professor Zhang, our master, can this disease be cured?"
Xiao Jing asked quickly.
"In the past, if the disease had reached this stage, there would be no way to treat it, but now there is a new treatment method, which is to surgically remove the carbuncle."
