Because although ALS is rare, it is one of the most fatal diseases and no one knows it.
"Vice President Su, this disease is too difficult. We have no clinical experience in this area, so it is difficult to handle it!"
Jiao Tong from the Department of Neurosurgery was the first to speak out.
Because this disease is a neuron disease, he is the most aware of the horror of ALS.
Then, Chen Yimin from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine immediately agreed.
"Yes, the risk is too high. Although Chinese medicine has records of impotence in ancient times, it was always detected early."
"Henry is lying in bed and has difficulty walking. It can be said that he is about to lose the ability to walk."
"His condition is already in the middle and late stages, and his hope is very slim."
Indeed, a living example is the famous physicist Hawking. He lived in the United States, a country with advanced medical science, but was ultimately unsuccessful in saving his life.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the audience and everyone expressed their opinions.
Some people even said that this patient should not be taken over and that this was a hot potato.
Su Yuanju knocked on the table to signal everyone to quiet down.
He said angrily: "You think we don't know this is a hot potato?"
"Let's be clear. Mr. Qiao from the Medical and Health Department personally accompanied him here. He was transferred from Huari Hospital."
"You didn't answer it if you didn't want to? You are too naive!"
After being reminded by Su Yuanju, everyone sighed and shook their heads.
As the saying goes, if a person is crushed to death by a senior official, can his arm be twisted past his thigh?
When you go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, you just want to see if the traditional Chinese medicine doctor can do something about it. You can't just turn the patient away.
"Vice President Su, what should we do? If we want to survive, there seems to be no precedent." Jiao Tong said.
Su Yuanju glanced at everyone present.
"This disease is indeed a global problem, and modern medicine is helpless."
"However, since we Chinese medicine practitioners have encountered it, we should not shrink back and find ways to practice it bravely."
Jiao Tong showed a wry smile.
He reminded: "Vice President Su, the other party has a special identity. We don't even know who is behind it."
"If you use medicine recklessly, I'm afraid the other party won't agree."
When he said this, he shook his head again, his powerlessness was obvious.
Someone echoed: "Yes, this risk is greater, and it will be harder to explain once it fails."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Henry got up from the bed with difficulty.
With the help of health doctor Charlie, he prepared to get into a wheelchair.
In fact, his desire to survive is very strong.
However, in the face of this disease of gradual loss of neurons, he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
There was no resistance at all, but he could only see himself getting weaker and weaker.
A month ago, he could still walk quickly.
It was only a short time ago. In less than a month, he could hardly walk independently and had to sit in a wheelchair.
"Prince Henry, why are you up?" Mr. Qiao came in from outside and happened to see this scene.
If Qin Fan and Su Yuanju were here, they would definitely be shocked by the title of prince.
Yes, he is a prince. Henry is the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth of England.
"I want to go and hear their consultation myself," Henry said.
"But it's too dangerous for you to do this."
Henry struggled to smile, "It doesn't matter, go and find out, I know what I know."
"I don't have much time and I don't want to collapse."
Henry has a very strong character. He was once a baseball player and his physical fitness is very good.
"Okay then." Mr. Qiao nodded in agreement.
"Charlie, let's go to the conference room."
The three of them left the special care ward and walked to the conference room.
Su Yuanju in the conference room didn't know what to do after listening to the speeches of the heads of each department.
Jiao Tong and the others were right to worry. This disease was not an ordinary cold or fever.
But no matter what, you can only face the difficulties.
Su Yuanju thought for a while and suggested: "For Henry's situation, what treatment options can our Chinese medicine practitioners adopt to extend his survival period as much as possible."
"Even if he only survives for one or two more years, it is a feat of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Everyone should think carefully and speak out boldly."
His proposal can be regarded as the most conservative treatment.
Jiao Tong and Chen Yimin looked at each other, both showing a wry smile.
Chen Yimin pondered for a while.
"We have no practical experience in this area, so we can only talk about treatment ideas theoretically."
"From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, ALS belongs to the impotence disease of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that to treat impotence, Yang Ming must be used alone, so the main method of Chinese medicine treatment is to regulate the spleen and stomach."
With him taking the lead, everyone else started thinking.
At this time, Xu Puruo from the Department of Internal Medicine stood up.
"Patients suffering from ALS often have a deficiency of yang and an excess of yin."
"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi belongs to Yang, and Yang deficiency will lead to Qi deficiency, and severe Qi deficiency will lead to impotence."
“Therefore, the main focus is to support Yang, dispel cold, replenish the spleen and replenish Qi.”
But then, doctors from other departments expressed different opinions.
"No, you are only talking about one aspect. According to the Five Elements Theory, after dampness invades the human body, if it remains and does not go away, it will enter the spleen system."
"If the spleen system is injured and there are problems with transportation and transformation, the limbs will not be lifted and the function of the limbs will be limited. Therefore, I believe that removing spleen dampness is the fundamental method of treatment."
For a time, there was a heated discussion in the conference room, with everyone expressing their different opinions on this matter.
Finally, after brainstorming, we can summarize that the best way to treat with traditional Chinese medicine is to generate Yang Qi, eliminate Yin Qi, circulate Qi, activate blood circulation, and warm nerves.
The techniques adopted are mainly acupuncture, with cupping, moxibustion and traditional Chinese medicine as auxiliary treatments.
Because people suffering from ALS have a common characteristic: "deficiency".
After some discussion, everyone realized that Qin Fan had not spoken.
Seems to be stuck in endless contemplation.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think of this treatment idea?" Su Yuanju asked Qin Fan for his opinion.
Qin Fan recovered his thoughts and smiled.
"This is a method of making progress while maintaining stability, which is quite satisfactory."
Indeed, the solution everyone discussed was to do their best to regulate Henry's body from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine in an attempt to prolong Henry's survival.
But in Qin Fan's eyes, he was still too conservative.
Su Yuanju's heart moved. Based on his understanding of Qin Fan, he felt that Qin Fan should have a new treatment idea.
"Mr. Qin, do you have any new treatment ideas?"
Qin Fan laughed and said, "I can't talk about the treatment idea. I just thought of a method. Maybe it is possible to save Henry."
"However, this method is very dangerous and requires great perseverance. It can be said that you will risk your life to survive."
Suddenly, everyone became curious and wanted to know what method Qin Fan used.
But Qin Fan stopped and did not continue.
Because this method sounds absurd, it has always been the method of Taoist practitioners.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
It turned out that after Charlie pushed Henry here, he had been eavesdropping on the discussion outside the door.
Henry had only a partial understanding of Chinese, but with Mr. Qiao's translation, it was not difficult to understand everything.
He suddenly heard Qin Fan say this and couldn't bear it anymore.
When Su Yuanju and Qin Fan saw that it was Henry and Mr. Qiao came in person, they had to stand up to greet him.
"Mr. Qin, what method are you talking about?" Henry, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked urgently.
"Mr. Qin, since you have come up with a solution, you might as well tell it and let us all measure its feasibility together," Mr. Qiao said.
