Chapter 97: If you understand Guizhi Decoction, you can start Chinese medicine
"Junior Brother Li, where are you?"
At 11:30 p.m., Li Duanyang and Qin Linlin had just returned from the experiment when Li Duanyang suddenly received a call from Guo Hongxia.
Guo Hongxia's voice coming from the microphone was a little urgent.
"What's wrong? Senior sister." Li Duanyang asked.
"That's right, my aunt called me just now. An eighteen-year-old girl from her neighbor suddenly started smoking and was talking nonsense. Her condition is very serious! My aunt asked me to ask a big professor to take a look at it.
, I can only find you!" Guo Hongxia said.
"Where's your aunt? Isn't Dr. Zhang not far from there? He's very good. Please ask him to go over and have a look first." Li Duanyang said.
The Doctor Zhang in his mouth was Zhang Dake, an old doctor in his sixties who he met last time at Guo Hongxia's home.
"Hey, don't mention it. The patient became like this just after taking the medicine he prescribed. I heard that it wasn't so serious originally, it seemed like he just had a cold." Guo Hongxia said hurriedly, "I suspect that Doctor Zhang gave him the wrong medicine.
I heard from my aunt that Dr. Zhang was a little drunk when he was treating the girl. Now I heard that he is drunk, where can he see a doctor?"
"Drinking tide" is a Sanqin dialect, which means being drunk.
It seems like it was originally a cold? After drinking Dr. Zhang’s medicine, the condition worsened? Did you start to smoke? And you talked nonsense?
Li Duanyang connected these situations as quickly as an electric current in his mind and thought about it for a while. He had some guesses in his mind. He thought about what kind of medicine might be used in this, and then he felt a headache. Now at this time,
The drugstore on the street was closed, so he had to go to the pharmacy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to get the medicine. But now he didn’t know the patient’s condition and he didn’t have a prescription. How could he take the medicine to and from the pharmacy?
I want to take medicine from Dr. Zhang, but he is also short of medicine?
Thinking of this, Li Duanyang said to Guo Hongxia: "Then let the patient's family members quickly send the patient to the hospital? This will not delay the condition, and it will be easier to handle in the hospital. It will be convenient to take medication and so on."
"Who says it's not? But the situation is like this. The situation of my aunt's neighbor's house is a bit special. The girl patient's father passed away and her mother left. Now there are only this girl patient and her seven-year-old child in the family.
Brother, there is no one to take care of it, so my aunt thinks it might be cheaper to hire someone."
"Senior sister, ask your aunt's family to hire a car to take her to the hospital as soon as possible. I'll pay for all the expenses." Li Duanyang said without hesitation.
People's lives are at stake now, and if we continue to push things around, big problems may arise.
He didn't even bother to complain.
"Isn't this bad?" Guo Hongxia said hesitantly.
"Oh, how much did it cost? Senior sister, please stop nagging and ask your aunt to help bring the patient to the hospital!" Li Duanyang said urgently, and hung up the phone after speaking.
"Should I go and have a look with you too?" Qin Linlin asked while hurriedly packing up the experimental equipment.
"You're too tired, why don't you go back and rest?" Li Duanyang advised.
"Don't be tired. This kind of case is probably iatrogenic and has great learning value." Qin Linlin said, "Let's go."
The two rushed to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and waited anxiously with Guo Hongxia for the patient's arrival.
"What prescription did Dr. Zhang give to the patient?" Li Duanyang asked Guo Hongxia.
"Oh, I didn't even bother to ask." Guo Hongxia patted her head and quickly called her aunt again.
As a result, her aunt couldn't figure out the prescription when she found it. She and a driver hired by the village didn't know many Chinese characters, and Dr. Zhang's handwriting was a bit flamboyant. She could only recognize the characters "大" and "生" on it.
"Guizhi soup?"
Li Duanyang and Guo Hongxia said almost at the same time.
Guizhi Decoction, known as the best of Zhongjing's prescriptions, is often used to treat colds (to be precise, it treats exogenous wind-cold and superficial deficiency syndrome). The formula is cinnamon twig (peeled), peony, ginger, jujube, and licorice.
After contacting the patient, he might have caught a cold, so it was not difficult to guess that Dr. Zhang should have given him Guizhi Decoction.
"Typhoid fever with floating pulse, spontaneous sweating, frequent urination, restlessness, slight aversion to cold, and leg cramps is a mistake. If you use Guizhi Decoction in an attempt to attack the surface, this is a mistake. You will suffer from diarrhea, dryness in the throat, irritability, and vomiting.
For those who are rebellious, use licorice and dried ginger decoction to restore their yang. If the convulsion is healed and the feet are warm, add peony and licorice decoction to it, and the feet will stretch. If the stomach qi is not harmonious and the patient is delirium, use less to regulate the stomach.
Chengqi Decoction. If sweating is severe and burning needles are added, Sini Decoction is the main treatment."
Guo Hongxia then recited a sentence from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and then said to Li Duanyang: "Junior brother, how about we prepare some licorice and dried ginger soup first? Maybe it will be useful."
"That's okay." Li Duanyang nodded and said, "We don't know the specific condition of the patient now. Let's be prepared first. I'll ask Doctor Li to prescribe a side medicine and let the doctor prepare it."
He is talking about Li Yiping, who is on night shift today.
"I'll go, you rest first, it's all up to you when the patient comes later!" Guo Hongxia said hurriedly, and left.
She actually felt a little sorry. Although the patient's condition was special and quite pitiful, she was the one who led the way and asked Li Duanyang to pay and contribute to the patient. Why?
In fact, she still didn't understand Li Duanyang's strange brain circuit at all. To a certain extent, Li Duanyang really regarded money as garbage (the main reason should be that he had the ability to make money), and he dared to ask the rich
The lion is open-minded, and at the same time, it doesn't matter if he pays no obligation or even gives some money to some patients with special difficulties.
In this world, his behavior seems a little absurd.
"You guys have been talking for a long time, but I don't understand it at all."
When Qin Linlin saw Guo Hongxia leaving, she quickly whispered to Li Duanyang.
"It's normal that you don't understand. You have only studied Chinese medicine for a few days." Li Duanyang looked at Qin Linlin's sleepy and thirsty eyes and smiled gently, "It's late at night, don't waste your brain cells. Find an empty ward to sleep in first."
Going soon?"
"What did I come for?" Qin Linlin asked angrily.
"Okay, okay, okay, then let me tell you, this thing is really complicated..."
"Guizhi soup doesn't seem complicated at all? It's just such a simple five-flavor medicine, but you two confused me with what you said." Qin Linlin shook her head and said, "Is it because I really don't have enough brain now?"
"Simple? Haha." Li Duanyang said with a smile, "How can the prescription known as the best of Zhong Jing's prescriptions be simple? If you can really understand this prescription thoroughly, you will be considered a beginner in traditional Chinese medicine."
"Yes, I have always suspected this. How come a seemingly simple prescription is praised as the best of Zhongjing's prescriptions?" Qin Linlin said, flashing her long eyelashes.
"Then let's start with the main symptoms of this prescription. This one is relatively simple." Li Duanyang yawned and said, "Tell me about it?"
"It is mainly used to treat headaches, fever, sweating, bad wind, rhinorrhoea, retching, white coating, lack of thirst, and slow or weak pulse. In this condition, can this Guizhi Decoction be used to relieve muscles, regulate nutrition, and regulate health?" Qin Linlin
Authentic without thinking.
Li Duanyang nodded and praised: "What a good memory. You look so cute and have such a good memory. Are you really a fairy who was banished to the mortal world?"
"Stop talking nonsense and speak up!" Qin Linlin said, lightly kicking Li Duanyang's foot.
