Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 681: Medicine Accumulation

Chen Yang, Liu Xi, Wu Mengmeng drank tea in Wang Liwen's office. When it was almost time, Wang Liwen said, "Let's go. It won't be too late."

Chen Yang's lecture today was in the demonstration room of the Provincial Hospital. Before Chen Yang arrived, quite a few people were already sitting in the demonstration room.

All the doctors who are able to spare time from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine are here today. In addition, there are doctors from the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, some doctors from other departments, and quite a few doctors from the Emergency Department.

There were about forty people sitting in the demonstration room.

You have to know that this is a hospital, not a school. For example, Jialin County Hospital has only thirty or forty doctors at full strength. The provincial hospital naturally has more doctors, plus interns, regular trainees, and continuing education students, so it is naturally not comparable to Jialin County Hospital.

But it is still working hours, and many doctors are still busy. There are more than 40 of them, which is already a large number.

Among them, some doctors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine had to come. Chen Yang is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and if they didn't come, it would seem as if they were afraid of Chen Yang. As for the doctors from other departments, most of them just came to watch the fun.

"Director Zhao is here too."

Someone greeted Zhao Junyang with a smile.

Zhao Junyang sat in the last row with a blank expression on his face. Even if someone made a joke next to him, Zhao Junyang didn't say a word.

As the head of the department, although Zhao Junyang was angry, he also knew some of the inside story.

The hospital has not been very satisfied with their Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the past two years, especially the director of the emergency department, Wang Liwen, who has a lot of complaints about their Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

If it were usual, it would be fine, but now, Vice President Du is going to retire, and Wang Liwen should be his successor. Some junior doctors only regard this matter as a rumor and are not very sure, but as a department director, they have some judgment in their hearts.

Wang Liwen is not old, only 52 years old this year, but he has been managing the emergency department for seven or eight years.

Wang Liwen worked in the emergency department as soon as he entered the hospital. He became the director of the emergency department at the age of 44 or 45 and has been in the position ever since.

At that time, no one was willing to take on the responsibility of the emergency department, and Wang Liwen was appointed to the position in a critical moment. He became the director of the department at a young age and has demonstrated quite strong abilities over the years.

Wang Liwen is considered young now, at the age of 52. He is now the vice president and may become the president in the future. The higher-ups really regard Wang Liwen as the future successor of the hospital.

This is also the reason why Zhao Junyang, although angry, can do nothing about it. The prince is dissatisfied with them, what can they do?

Chen Yang and Wang Liwen were walking when a call came in on his cell phone. After looking at the caller ID, Chen Yang picked up the phone while walking.

"Hey, Haofei."

"Master."

Li Haofei said: "I have a patient here. Director Xun and I can't find the cause. I would like to ask you for advice."

"You said."

Chen Yang looked at the time and said, "I have something to do here and will be busy soon. Please be brief and get to the point."

"The patient is Director Liu from the Provincial Health Commission..."

Li Haofei did not dare to be verbose. He simply explained the situation, focusing on the patient's symptoms and pulse.

"Director Xun and I both felt that the diagnosis was correct and there was nothing wrong with the medication, but the medication didn't have much effect."

Li Haofei said: "I just asked Director Liu specifically, and I felt that Director Liu was acting strangely, as if he was hiding something."

"The diagnosis is correct, the medication is correct..."

Chen Yang said: "In this case, even if the patient is still upset, it won't be completely ineffective. In addition to your guess, there is another possibility."

"Master, please tell me." Li Haofei said hurriedly.

"You can ask the patient about his recent diet or whether he has taken any medication recently." Chen Yang said.

"Master, do you guess that it might be the medications the patient has taken recently and the current medication that have an impact?" Li Haofei asked.

"You just said that the patient has no appetite for several days. Judging from the pulse and symptoms, it is unlikely that he has food accumulation, but there is a possibility of drug accumulation."

Chen Yang said: "I know a little about the patient's condition, you can ask more."

"I understand, Master." Li Haofei said.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I have something else to do. I'll call you when I'm done." Chen Yang said and hung up the phone.

"What did Dr. Chen say?"

Xun Jiahong asked Li Haofei.

"Master said that there might be other situations."

Li Haofei said: "It is possible that the patient has taken other drugs before."

"Have you taken any other medications?"

Xun Jiahong was stunned, thinking that Chen Yang could guess this even through the phone.

"We'll find out if we ask again."

Li Haofei smiled and went into the ward again with Xun Jiahong.

Lying on the hospital bed, Liu Anrong was still thinking that if he continued like this, he really couldn't stay in Jialin County Hospital any longer. How about going back to the provincial capital and getting well first?

But wouldn’t it be a bad idea to go back to the provincial capital right after arriving?

While Liu Anrong was still hesitating, Li Haofei and Xun Jiahong came in again.

"Doctor Li, Director Xun."

"Director Liu."

Li Haofei and Xun Jiahong walked to the bedside and asked, "Director Liu, have you taken any other medicines recently?"

"Any other medicine?"

Liu Anrong was stunned, then quickly shook his head: "No, no."

"No?"

Li Haofei whispered: "Did Master guess wrong?"

Although Li Haofei's voice was low, Liu Anrong happened to hear what Li Haofei said, especially the word "Master".

"Doctor Li, have you asked Doctor Chen?" Liu Anrong asked.

"Correct."

Li Haofei said: "I just called Master and told him about your situation."

"It's just a small matter, why bother Dr. Chen?"

Liu Anrong was afraid of this. He really didn't want Chen Yang to know, but he didn't expect Li Haofei to ask Chen Yang anyway.

Why don’t you take care of this useless body?

Liu Anrong had never blamed himself for being sick like he did this time.

"Doctor Li, I remember now."

Liu Anrong said: "I have actually been taking Shenqi Pills for the past six months."

When Li Haofei asked just now, Liu Anrong actually remembered it, but he didn't want to say it. After all, ordinary people knew what taking Shenqi Pills meant, not to mention that Li Haofei and Xun Jiahong were Chinese medicine practitioners.

Which man would easily admit that he has kidney deficiency?

As a man, any part of your body can be weak except your kidneys. Any part of your body can be soft except a certain part.

But Li Haofei had already alarmed Chen Yang, so Liu Anrong dared not hide it.

"I see."

Xun Jiahong finally realized: "It's the accumulation of medicine. It's caused by the accumulation of medicine."

"Drug accumulation?" Liu Anrong asked in confusion.

"Correct."

Xun Jiahong said: "It is easy to have food accumulation when eating, and it is also easy to have drug accumulation when taking too much medicine. Especially recently, Director Liu, you are in a bad mood, and the liver wood overcomes the earth, which leads to poor spleen and stomach reception and poor digestion, which makes it easier to have drug accumulation. It is precisely because of the drug accumulation that the medicine you use has no effect."
