- It didn't take long for Wen Dai to run out. About ten minutes later, Wen Dai ran in again and shouted: "Director Zhou, Dr. Steve is here, Dr. Steve is here!"
Only then did Chen Zheng learn that the doctor who had just ordered Wen Dai and looked down on Chinese medicine was called Director Zhou.
Thinking about it, members of these medical teams should still refer to each other by their domestic professional titles.
Dr. Steve is well-known in the medical field, so Director Zhou quickly stood up to greet him, and right behind Wen Dai, a foreigner squeezed in the door. It was the cardiologist whom Chen Zheng knew. Functional Steve.
"Dr. Steve, welcome. Thank you very much for coming to help." Director Zhou extended his hands enthusiastically.
Dr. Steve also had a sincere smile on his face and reached out to meet him. However, his target was not Director Zhou. Instead, he passed by Director Zhou closely, and Chen Zheng behind him was just a few feet away. Shaking hands together.
"Oh, Chen Zheng was the first to save you, but you are finally here!"
Director Zhou¡¯s hand stretched out in the air was left hanging there, looking particularly embarrassed.
To be honest, he really couldn¡¯t figure out why Dr. Steve, as a well-known figure in the medical field, was so enthusiastic about a Chinese medicine practitioner, but left himself alone?
The captain of the medical team was also very strange and asked: "Dr. Steve, do you know him?"
"I know, I know, of course I know, Captain Li, the key reason why I came to Africa this time is because of Chen Zhengxian!"
Chen Zhenggang came to the medical team and was not taken seriously. Even the captain of the medical team didn't introduce himself when he first met him. It was only now from Steve that Chen Zheng learned that the captain's surname was Li.
"Oh? It turns out that Dr. Chen also knows Dr. Steve. It seems that it's not that simple." Captain Li suddenly felt that he had indeed looked down upon this young man who didn't look like a doctor just now.
"Dr. Steve, I invited you here this time." Director Zhou was embarrassed for a moment. At this time, he finally came back to his senses, regained his sense of presence, and interjected: "Dr. Steve, this patient's condition is very complicated. We don't have relevant equipment here because the medical team you organized has relatively more equipment." Much. Can you help me?¡±
Dr. Steve was so excited just now because he saw Chen Zheng that he forgot about Director Zhou. But when he mentioned that there was a patient, he immediately aroused his benevolence as a doctor.
Without saying anything else, he quickly came to the side and observed the patient's condition first.
This patient is a typical black man. Except for the shockingly white eyes, the rest of his face is completely black. Like burning charcoal.
Chen Zheng does have a headache. It is important to know that when Chinese medicine treats people, facial expression is very important, but when looking at the facial expressions of black people, they are still black no matter how you look at them. It's really hard to treat them.
Dr. Steve first listened to the patient's chest with a stethoscope, and then asked him to lift up his trouser legs. He saw that one of his legs was thick and the other was thin.
The thicker leg was due to swelling and was three times as thick as his other leg.
The inspection took about half an hour, but it lasted until the end. Steve was still unsure of his condition, so he turned around and said to Director Zhou: "It's difficult to judge the condition of this patient, because in order to confirm the diagnosis, a series of examinations such as color ultrasound and MRI must be done. In addition, venous pressure measurement and deep Venography, and even Doppler ultrasound is used to measure the blood flow velocity in the veins, which"
¡°Do you not have these equipment in your medical team, Dr. Steve?¡± Director Zhou asked again.
Dr. Steve shook his head helplessly: "My medical team was established by myself. Due to lack of funds, it can only provide some limited health services and medicines. Although I also brought some instruments and equipment, they are too much." Large ones, indeed.¡±
"This" Director Zhou spread his hands.
This is why Western medicine is so difficult. Without instruments, it¡¯s like a soldier on the battlefield without a gun.
"What's more, we just did some simple examinations. The patient's heart load is very heavy. I'm afraid it will be dangerous and we can't wait too long." Dr. Steve added: "Even if we can have all the instruments now, it still won't be possible." It will take at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours to know the test results, diagnose the condition, and prescribe the right medicine. In terms of time"
At this point, Dr. Steve suddenly stopped and looked back at Chen Zheng: "Chen Zheng, save it first. I wonder if you can do anything?"
"Dr. Steve, you don't need to ask him. He is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and he can't help much." Director Zhou said disdainfully.
"No, no, no, a foreigner like me attaches great importance toChinese medicine, as a Chinese, you should not underestimate the Chinese medicine in your country. "Dr. Steve is a foreigner, he speaks very directly without any circumlocutions.
¡° Then he looked at Chen Zheng again, his eyes full of expectation.
Chen Zheng smiled, walked to the patient, stretched out his fingers, and gently pressed on the patient's pulse.
After diagnosing the pulse intravenously, Chen Zheng took his hand back and said, "There is no need to look for any instruments. I already know his symptoms. He has heart disease, and he also has gangrene."
"Anthrax? What disease is this?" Dr. Steve couldn't understand the Chinese medicine terminology Chen Zheng said at all.
None of the other doctors present understood. Chen Zheng was troubled because he didn't understand the terminology of Western medicine very well. How should he explain it to them?
Suddenly thinking of Wen Dai, Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Wen Dai, come here."
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Brother Da Zheng?¡±
"I will tell you about the patient's condition, and you will tell other doctors what I said in Western medicine terms."
Taking this opportunity, Chen Zheng also wants to guide Wen Dai, to start from the beginning without haste or delay.
"Do you still remember the medical book I asked you to memorize before, "The Authentic Book of Surgery" written by Chen Shigong during the Ming Dynasty?"
Wen Dai nodded. Chen Zheng had never asked Wen Dai to practice before. He mostly asked her to memorize medical books. She almost memorized them all, from the Huangdi Neijing to the medical books of the Qing Dynasty.
"That's good." Chen Zheng smiled: "This medical book has a detailed introduction to this patient's condition, which is called 'off gangrene'. The main cause of the disease is that cold yin travels to the veins and the cold coagulates the blood. Blood stasis, blood stasis, long-term blood stasis turns into heat"
A lot of Chinese medicine terms that no one else understands appeared endlessly in Chen Zheng's words.
Others can¡¯t understand, but Wen Dai has gone through previous learning. Understand the causes and symptoms of the disease.
After Chen Zheng finished speaking, Wen Dai pondered for a moment and said, "According to Brother Da Zheng - oh, no, it's Dr. Chen who said that this patient's condition is that the femoral vein is blocked by a blood clot, and that's why the leg is swollen. No, it is thrombophlebitis obliterans. Moreover, if the blood clot breaks off over time, it may even flow with the blood and cause heart thrombosis, and the consequences will be very serious.¡±
"Thrombophlebitis obliterans?" Director Zhou was stunned: "You can detect such a complicated condition just by feeling for the pulse? Let me tell you. This is not only related to the life and death of the patient, but also to the health of our medical team aiding Africa. Regarding credibility, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±
Dr. Steve, on the other hand, nodded slightly: "Chen Xiansheng, what you said is really possible. A rough look at the patient's condition. It seems to be this symptom."
But Dr. Steve was more rigorous, and then added: "But different illnesses will have similar symptoms. We haven't tested it, so we still can't be 100% sure."
Chen Zheng shrugged. Anyway, he had just joined the medical team and had no prestige yet. It¡¯s not surprising that everyone doesn¡¯t trust their own judgment.
Believe it or not, I have already said what needs to be said.
When many doctors conduct consultations, everything they say is in Chinese, and patients and their families cannot understand them.
At this time, one of the black family members suddenly realized something. He took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and started talking in the local language.
There is a translator provided by the embassy in the medical team. The translator said: "The patient said that he had a detailed examination at the central hospital before and there were cases. He was in a hurry and forgot to show it to you."
As soon as he heard that there was a case, Director Zhou quickly grabbed it and opened it for priority browsing.
He was extremely shocked when he read this, because it stated that after detailed diagnosis, the patient's disease was exactly what Chen Zheng said: thrombophlebitis obliterans!
The translator added: "The patient also said that he had undergone several examinations before, but they were always misdiagnosed. In the end, he was diagnosed only after his condition became serious. However, the medical expenses at the city center hospital were too high and beyond his affordability, so Come to you. In their local words, if Chinese doctors can¡¯t cure it, they won¡¯t treat it anymore.¡±
It can be heard that the patient¡¯s words gave the greatest affirmation to the medical skills of the Chinese medical team. Even Director Zhou felt heavy in his heart after hearing this.
Since the condition has been diagnosed early, the next step is to prescribe the right medicine.
It seems that this patient¡¯s condition requires surgery, but among the medical team, there is obviously no condition for surgery.
"If you want to have surgery, you still have to go to a big hospital in the city center. There is no way to do it in a slum."Director Zhou asked again: "Captain Li, are there any Chinese hospitals in Zimbabwe?"
¡°There is really no one who has the ability to perform such a major operation. The most we can do is transfer the patients to hospitals in their home countries,¡± Captain Li said.
"But their family can't afford such expenses!" Director Zhou sighed.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of shabby clothes, we can still see that they cannot escape poverty.
It is said that the health center of the Chinese medical team here is in poor condition and has incomplete facilities. It only has the advantage of not charging medical fees. Most of the people who come to see the doctor are residents of the local Mubari slum. Those who live here have no A rich man.
Everyone was silent, sighing for the suffering of the poor people in Africa.
"It's not necessary to have surgery. If you let me treat it, you don't need surgery. You can cure it with medicine and acupuncture alone." Chen Zheng said suddenly.
"What? You mean you want to use acupuncture to treat thrombophlebitis obliterans? Isn't this a joke?" Director Zhou thought he had caught Chen Zheng's mistake.
Because when Director Zhou was in China, he was also the attending physician in a first-class hospital, and the hospital also had a Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Long-term experience has taught him that acupuncture is the most undesirable way to treat this disease.
"It's not the kind of acupuncture you think." Chen Zheng smiled: "Wen Dai, get the moxa sticks."
"Yes!" Wen Dai agreed.
Not long after. After taking the moxa stick, Chen Zheng rolled up the patient's clothes and pants to expose his skin, and then lit the moxa stick.
"Wait a minute" Director Zhou wanted to stop Chen Zheng, but Dr. Steve held him back: "You and I don't have the ability to save the patient, so why not let Chen Xianxian give it a try, Chinese medicine. Far better than you The magic of imagination.¡±
Director Zhou wanted to talk again, but at this time even Captain Li of the medical team said: "Forget it, we have no good solution anyway. Let Dr. Chen give it a try. Even if it can't be cured, it probably won't be cured." bad."
Chen Zheng ignored them at all. At this time, he had already taken Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Xuehai, Chengshan and other major acupoints, put the lit moxa sticks on the patient's skin for moxibustion.
About ten minutes later, Chen Zheng picked up the moxa stick, then picked up paper and pen, and wrote down two prescriptions.
Later, Chen Zheng warned the patient: "To treat your disease, the main policy is to replenish qi and promote blood circulation, promote qi and dredge meridians, disperse stagnation and relieve pain. The main purpose is to clear away heat and detoxify. My first prescription is for You dredge the meridians, and the second prescription is to clean your body. Boil these herbs and add water to the affected area every day. Within half a month, your condition will improve and the thigh swelling will disappear. Within a month, you can. Move around normally."
These words troubled the translator for a long time. In the end, I had to omit all the terminology of traditional Chinese medicine and just explained how to use the medicine.
He also told the patient to come back often for follow-up consultations, and then let the patient leave.
"It's strange to say that the patient who couldn't walk just now was completely supported by his family members, but after Chen Zheng's moxibustion, although he couldn't move freely, he could at least walk reluctantly.
Seeing such a miraculous effect, everyone was amazed.
"Chen Zhengxian, you are indeed a miracle doctor." Dr. Steve gave a thumbs up, but at the same time he did not forget to ask: "I am very interested in the process of treating patients, but I am more interested in how you can rely on How can you tell someone¡¯s condition just by touching their wrist?¡±
"What you are talking about by touching the wrist is called pulse diagnosis in Chinese medicine." Chen Zheng smiled: "Speaking of which, pulse diagnosis is indeed a very profound knowledge for us, but when I see that a patient is sick, it is not mainly based on pulse diagnosis."
"What does that rely on?" Dr. Steve asked.
"When the patient walked in, he couldn't walk. I saw it just now. When he sat down to wait for the diagnosis, one of his trouser legs was tight and he didn't moan. By referring to the information brought to me by others, I had roughly guessed several conditions. In our Chinese medicine, this is called inspection, and it is not a matter of pulse diagnosis. Then I checked his pulse and finally determined that he had this disease."
"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Dr. Steve asked again: "But what specific information can you get by diagnosing the pulse?"
"Then you get a lot," Chen Zheng smiled: "What you can know by diagnosing the pulse is not much less than the stethoscope you use."
"Yes, I know this, Brother Da Zheng, let me say it." Wen Dai smiled and took over the topic.
What Chen Zheng said just now is not exaggerated in the slightest. In fact, the principle of pulse diagnosis is no different from the stethoscope itself.
Wen Dai talked aboutSince the first mention of pulse diagnosis in the Huangdi Nei Jing, followed by the "Mai Jing" of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and then the "Binhu Pulse Study" by Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, China's pulse diagnosis techniques have reached their peak.
You must know that the generation of pulse is due to the fibrillation of blood vessels when the heart contracts and ejects blood into the arteries. Therefore, the pulse frequency is directly determined by the speed of the heartbeat. So first by diagnosing the pulse, you can know the patient's heart rate.
That's not all. Although there is no term "blood pressure" in Chinese medicine, it does not mean that Chinese medicine does not know this thing. Since ancient times, China has said that high blood pressure is "hyperactivity of liver yang". Once there is high blood pressure, the pulse will be stringy, This is precisely because blood flow is blocked and pressure increases, which is completely consistent with what Western medicine calls high blood pressure.
Secondly, when diagnosing the pulse, you can know the amount of blood volume in the human body through pulse conditions such as "deficient, weak, slow, moist, weak". Even conditions such as anemia or reduced oxygen content in the blood cannot escape a pulse diagnoser. The feeling of a master.
Of course, in the case of the patient just now, pulse diagnosis can also detect arterial and venous lesions in the patient's limbs. After all, the human body is a whole, and accurate conclusions can be drawn from arteriovenous thrombosis and occlusive lesions during pulse diagnosis.
Of course, it is difficult to learn Chinese medicine. Compared with the famous doctors from ancient times, the Chinese medicine experts in major hospitals today may not be qualified enough to be students.
In fact, if Chen Zheng really has such superb medical skills, if he were to switch to Western medicine for the conditions he understood through pulse diagnosis, he would have to use a stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, electrocardiogram, ECG monitoring, color ultrasound or MRI to get the same amount of information. information.
"Dr. Steve, you should understand the role of pulse diagnosis now, right?" Wen Dai smiled playfully, then stuck out her tongue in front of Chen Zheng: "Brother Da Zheng, what do I think?"
Even Chen Zheng didn¡¯t expect Wen Dai to be so powerful.
In the past few months, Chen Zheng had not taught Wen Dai much. He only asked her to memorize medical books and then practice medicine with Professor Wang. However, he did not expect that she would work so hard, which was beyond his expectation.
And the most commendable thing is that she is a Western medicine major and has a full understanding of Western medicine. Now that she is studying Chinese medicine, she can explain the theory of Chinese medicine so thoroughly. I am afraid that even Chen Zheng himself cannot do this.
You know, Chen Zheng has been studying traditional Chinese culture since he was a child, and he is naturally proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, but many times he feels like a teapot boiling dumplings, which is in his stomach but cannot be poured out.
Looking at Wen Dai, Chen Zheng suddenly felt that he really wanted to train her well. If she fully learned her medical skills in the future, her achievements might even be higher than his own!
