Chapter 38: : Chinese Medicine Status

Fetal jaundice is a kind of jaundice disease mainly manifested by yellowing of the skin, mucous membrane and sclera in babies. It is called fetal jaundice in Chinese medicine and neonatal jaundice in western medicine.
When treating a patient, Ye Chen must first understand the patient's condition. The same is true for this little boy.
"When did this start to appear?" Ye Chen asked.
"Doctor Ye, this started yesterday afternoon, just as an ordinary baby." said a pediatrician next to him.
Because of the occurrence of fetal yellow, it may occur in many newborns. Therefore, the attending doctor treated him as a common disease. Unexpectedly, this morning, it was discovered that there was an aggravating trend.
By asking the full-time nurse about the baby's condition, Ye Chen found that the baby boy had been defecate once every two days from birth to now, and the stool was very dry. Now, Ye Chen looked over and found that the baby boy had a pale tongue and yellow coating. , The fingerprint is light.
Soon, Ye Chen judged the baby boy’s condition, which was caused by congenital deficiency, dampness and heat, and bile leaking out of the skin. In view of the constipation, the obstruction of the intestines, the evil of dampness and heat had no way out, so Ye Chen used clear heat to relieve dampness. Yellow method to treat.
If it is in accordance with other serious cases, Ye Chen knows that a combination of acupuncture and moxibustion is needed. However, it is still not the most serious situation, and the baby boy is not treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. If the treatment is good through the use of Chinese herbal soup, it is naturally the easiest.
Soon, under Mr. Liao and the others, Ye Chen took the special paper and pen from the affiliated hospital and prescribed a prescription on the table.
"2 grams of Artemisia annua, 2 grams of Gardenia, 2 grams of Rhubarb, 2 grams of Cassia twig, 2 grams of Atractylodes, 3 grams of Alisma orientalis, 5 grams of Poria cocos, 10 grams of Polyporus, 10 grams of Hawthorn, 2 grams of Sophora flavescens, 2 grams of ebony plum 3 grams, 4 doses, three doses per dose." After Ye Chen handed the prescribed prescription to Lao Liao, Lao Liao looked at it and naturally felt that there was no problem. He directly gave it to a female nurse and asked her to give it to him as soon as possible. This little boy boils medicine.
"Doctor Ye, when will my son get better?" Gao Meilin asked hurriedly. She doesn't know medical skills, just want to ask about her son's condition?
"It should get better tomorrow at the earliest." If this disease wants to be cured, it is naturally impossible to be anxious. The little boy must drink the soup for it to have an effect.
According to Ye Chen's own situation, the little baby boy will be decayed as early as tomorrow, but if the little boy wants to get better, he has to take the four medicinal soups.
After coming out of the baby care room, Mr. Liao followed him out. Ye Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Liao, I followed you early in the morning. I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I am hungry now. I am going to have lunch."
"I'll go with you." Liao Lao was afraid that Ye Chen would directly find a reason to sneak away. Therefore, Lao Liao returned to his office, replaced the white lab coat, and left the affiliated hospital with Ye Chen and went outside.
Affiliated hospitals also have dining halls, which mainly serve hospital doctors and nurses, as well as hospital patients and their families. However, the food in the hospital dining hall was not tasty and the price was very expensive, so Lao Liao didn't take him directly to the dining hall.
The two went out to the affiliated hospital and got into a taxi. Ye Chen asked the taxi driver to drive to a special restaurant.
With the set of exercises that Ye Chen is now practicing, he eats a lot. With just plain rice, he knows that he might eat five bowls at once, and every time Sun Mengjie sees it, he treats him like a rice bucket.
Now Ye Chen had 400,000 yuan left in his bank card. This morning, Miss Gao gave him a check for 2 million yuan. Ye Chen knew that he was a rich man now.
Soon, when the taxi driver was about to stop, Ye Chen paid the fare and went in with Liao Lao to the southern restaurant in Xuhui.
When I entered, because this time period belongs to lunch time, there are already many people inside.
Old Liao likes to be quiet, and Ye Chen would rather spend more money to let the waiter at the Southern Restaurant find himself a private room.
"Two, do you need to order food so quickly?" the waitress standing next to him asked.
"Of course, I'm very hungry." When Ye Chen and Liao Lao picked up the recipes and looked at them, Liao Lao himself couldn't eat much. At most, he ate a bowl of rice and half a bowl of soup. When Ye Chen asked Mr. Liao to order, Mr. Liao ordered a vegetable. After a tofu, Ye Chen ordered a lot of meat dishes.
"Xiao Ye, you order so much, can you eat it later?" Old Liao looked at him and said after the waiter left.
"Lao Liao, I am growing up now, so I can eat more." He naturally didn't know how Ye Chen was eating at Liao's house that night. However, Lao Liao felt that Ye Chen was still young and he ate a lot, but that was nothing.
In fact, when Ye Chen was in the village, he ate plainly every day. How can there be a big city like Shanghai? As long as you have money, you can eat basically anything.
"Xiaoye, my family's Xiaoxue cooks good food. It's a waste of money to eat from a restaurant. It's better to go to my house and let Xiaoxue cook the food." When he heard Mr. Liao talk about Liao Bingxue, Ye Chen wanted to go, but thought of Liao Bingxue. Zhang Lian, always cold, Ye Chen felt uncomfortable when he was eating, so forget it.
. . .
After a meal, the two ate for more than an hour. Ye Chen basically digested all the food on the table, causing the waiter and Liao Lao who were watching to almost drop their eyes in surprise.
"Waiter, bring me two more bottles of juice." After the waiter left, when Ye Chen was picking his teeth with a toothpick, Liao was naturally even more surprised when he saw the leftovers on the table.
After the waiter brought two bottles of juice, he closed the door, and Ye Chen sat comfortably with a drink. In fact, he found that coming to Shanghai was much more comfortable than being in the village. Usually in the village, you have to eat chicken, duck and goose, and you have to wait until the Chinese New Year.
"Xiaoye, what do you think of the current state of Chinese medicine?" Ye Chen was picking his teeth, leaning comfortably on that chair, thinking about the beautiful days in the future, when he heard Lao Liao's question, he almost thought that I heard it wrong.
"Old Liao, what are you talking about?"
"What do you think of the current state of Chinese medicine?" Old Liao asked again. He felt that Ye Chen was really good at Chinese medicine, but Ye Chen didn't seem to be proactive in doing things.
However, Lao Liao knew that from his other capacity, he was very concerned about the situation of Chinese medicine. Although the country also pays much attention to Chinese medicine, in fact, it is a very common situation in China that Western medicine is prevalent and Chinese medicine is in decline.
Even in the Affiliated Hospitals, which are based on Chinese medicine, in fact, in addition to Chinese medicine, part of the affiliated hospitals still have Western medicine. Therefore, it is impossible to find a complete Chinese medicine hospital in China.
From this point, Lao Liao was naturally even more worried, afraid that after him, Chinese medicine would decline to a more serious level. He knew very well the reason why this happened in Chinese medicine.
On the one hand, nowadays TCM talents are in the kind of situation where there is no answer. On the other hand, because there are fewer TCM talents, there will naturally be fewer famous doctors. The effect of treating patients is naturally not as fast as taking western medicine and injections. Under such circumstances, it is natural that very few patients come to see Chinese medicine.
