Physician’s Odyssey

Victor was admitted to the intensive care unit in the middle of the night. Because the ulcerated part of his arm was infected and accompanied by fever, Li Kesheng entered the ward and fed Victor a bowl of decoction.

In the morning, the attending doctor Anatole came in to observe and saw the physical signs on the computer screen, with a relaxed expression on his face, "Chinese medicine is indeed amazing, and the patient has gone from fever."

The other experts did not speak. When the fever subsided in the middle of the night, the staff on duty knew about it and notified everyone.Everyone stayed up all night last night, because they were hired with high salaries, so far they have not been able to put forward constructive opinions, which makes their current situation very embarrassing.

"Although the fever has gone, the severity of Berg's disease has not diminished." An expert reminded, "It is recommended to have a blood test. We have to analyze why the infection occurred."

After speaking, Anatole ordered the nurse to draw a half tube of blood for Victor and take it to the blood test room for testing.

After a while, the nurse handed over the data report to Anatole. The blood pressure was normal, the heartbeat was normal, and the breathing was normal. The blood test results did not exceed the standard too much.

Anatoly glanced at the gauze tied to Victor's arm and said: "Bring some clean gauze over. Poisonous liquid has already leaked out. Keep it clean and hygienic to avoid reinfection."

Li Kesheng hurriedly said to Anatoli: "The gauze can't be changed. I just put the ointment on him last night, and the ointment only works now. If I change it now, the effect of the ointment will not be the best."

Anatoly frowned and questioned: "Do you think Victor's condition can be relieved because of the ointment you put on? I think it is because of the effect of antibiotics. As for these dark ointments There are hidden health risks. You have to know that bacteria like to be in a complex environment. If it is not disinfected, the patient may become seriously ill again. Can you bear the consequences?"

Li Kesheng was embarrassed by his tough attitude towards Anatole, but his personality was softer and he was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Anatole. He said patiently: "I use Chinese medicine to treat the disease of gangrene. Gypsum powder is ground, tung oil is added to make a paste, the affected area is spread evenly, and disinfected gauze is wrapped on the outside. Changing the dressing once a day can significantly relieve it. Plaster has a sterilizing effect, and tung oil has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Anatoly waved his hand in dissatisfaction, and said solemnly: "Mr. Li, I admit that Chinese medicine has a certain success rate in treating Berg's disease, but the patient has an infection in the affected area, and antibiotics must be used. As for your unproven ointment. , I really find it hard to agree."

Li Kesheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He only had the power to suggest how to treat Victor. The decision was up to the attending doctor.

"First open the gauze and take a closer look at the ulceration. If it becomes more serious, you have to take further measures." A surgical expert, Doyle, frowned. His opinion is still very important, because if the condition is not bad When it is contained, this arm will eventually have to face amputation, so Anatoly will be responsible for the removal operation and understanding the condition of the ulceration site is equivalent to preparing lessons for the surgeon.

The nurse eased off the gauze. Some experts did not wear a mask, and their faces changed more or less, because Victor’s arm was so badly ulcerated, it was like being bitten by a fly for many days, exuding a strong pungent smell The gauze in the inner layer was soaked with lymph. If it weren't for gypsum and tung oil, the situation would have gotten worse.

Doyle couldn't help but shook his head. He really didn't believe that such a bad condition could cure the ulcerated part of his arm. "I suggest that amputation must be done. Otherwise, as the ulcerated area expands, infection may still occur. And if it continues to spread, I am afraid that surgery may not be able to be controlled."

The logic is simple. The heat poison on the arm can be removed by surgery, but if it spreads to other deadly parts such as the chest, how can it be removed by surgery?You can’t cut your shoulders and chest all over, right?

Victor’s gangrene syndrome, to put it simply, is that there is an unknown heat poison in the body. When the toxin has accumulated to a certain level, it will first cause the rot of the limbs. As the toxin gradually spreads, the toxin will cover the whole body. .Because I don’t know what the poison is, inflammation occurs and I can’t find a suitable antibiotic.

Therefore, the western medicine treatment method is to cut off the arm directly when the toxin is still in the arm, so as to prevent the toxin from spreading to other parts.

Anatoly glanced at the surgeon helplessly, and said, "This has to ask for the consent of the patient and his family."

The patient and family members certainly disagree!

Doyle was so angry that he rolled his eyes, "It seems that I don't need me here!"

After speaking, he took off his white coat and left the ward angrily. This is also a doctor with a character.

But Doyle said so for a reason.The condition has reached such a serious level, and the amputation operation has not yet been performed. As a surgical expert, he feels that there is no meaning and value here, and he does not need to stay here.

Feiya looked up and glanced at Anatoly. Anatoly knew Feiya's meaning and wanted to ask the surgeon expert Doyle if he had any problems.He walked to Feiya's side and whispered in a low voice: "Please don't worry, Madam. Although Dr. Doyle's operation is second to none in China, the operation of Berg's disease is actually not complicated, so we have many alternatives."

Surgery for Berg's disease does not require too sophisticated skills. To put it bluntly, it is a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a bit exaggerated to describe it as a butcher who kills pigs. As long as he stops bleeding and post-operative treatment, he can actually do the job. .

...

Back at the castle villa, Su Tao was always in the room, tinkering with things. Shui Junzhuo knew that Su Tao was preparing medicine for Victor, so he didn't let anyone bother.

Approaching dinner time, Shui Junzhuo took the food from the kitchen, put it on a tray, and sent it to the room.

"Will Victor's condition suddenly worsen?" Shui Junzhuo asked curiously, seeing that even though Su Tao had agreed to Shurik, he never went to see Victor.

Su Tao stopped his work, looked away from the medicine bowl, and explained with a smile: "Victor's condition is a chronic disease. The toxins in the body are caused by the accumulation of toxins over time and come slowly, so the attack will not occur too much. Quickly, at most infections and fever will appear. If treatment is delayed for two or three days, there will be no major problems."

Shui Junzhuo smiled and said: "Since you are not in such a hurry, you don't have to work so hard, wait until lunch, and then do preparations."

Su Tao was indeed hungry, so he washed his hands first, and then gobbled up, "This soup tastes really good."

"Really?" Shui Junzhuo said in surprise, "I did it."

Of all the dishes, only the soup was prepared by Shui Junzhuo, so Su Tao specifically said that the soup was delicious, which made Shui Junzhuo feel very happy immediately.

Su Tao actually heard the chef mention it when he went to the kitchen to cook medicine, so he deliberately praised Shui Junzhuo, "Really? It seems that you have a talent for making soup, and I will be lucky in the future."

"I don't do it every day, it depends on my mood." Shui Jun said with joy.

In about five or six minutes, Su Tao had eaten all the food in a turbulent manner, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and smiled: "After I get the medicine, please arrange for someone to give it to Victor."

Shui Junzhuo was startled slightly, and said unexpectedly: "Are you not going to treat it yourself?"

Su Tao smiled and nodded, and said: "First, I am afraid that after meeting, I will regret it; second, his disease cannot be cured overnight. If you want a radical cure, you need long-term treatment. I will give him This medicine is only a temporary cure, but it cannot cure the root cause. If he wants a complete cure, he has to patiently maintain his body according to my requirements."

Shui Junzhuo knew that Su Tao had a personality, and smiled: "Okay, when will I deliver the medicine?"

Su Tao smiled and said: "When my medicine is finished, I have to send it there quickly, otherwise, his arm might be rotten to the bone."

Shui Junzhuo's expression was a bit unnatural. Thinking about Su Tao's words, he felt horrible and stuck out his tongue, "You just had a meal, and you said so disgustingly, and you are not afraid to spit it out."

Su Tao smiled and said, "I've seen all the corpses, mountains and bones, so what is this small formation?"

When Shui Junzhuo walked out with the tray, Su Tao started to play the pot again. It took about half an hour before it was counted. He put two red jujube-sized pills into a brocade box carved with ancient patterns. The box is not a valuable antique, but Su Tao arranged for Xiao Jingjing to order it online. The address and phone number of Sanweitang are on the bottom. This is a way of implanting publicity.

When the guests see this beautiful brocade box, they will definitely not discard it and put it at home. When they look at it from time to time, they will think of Sanweitang. The effect is more popular than the general advertising model.

Su Tao called Xia Yu and briefly talked about the cooperation plan with Shulik.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is a big order. Three production lines must be added after the year."

The 500 million U.S. dollar order seems to be a large number, but now Sanwei Pharmaceutical has an endless stream of factory orders. With the addition of the original marketing team of Yan Peng and Ruixing Group, the domestic order quantity is sufficient, far exceeding 500 million U.S. dollars. .Moreover, the profit margin of foreign orders is actually not as good as that of domestic ones, and the costs that need to be borne are relatively high, such as logistics and tax payment, so the unit price of products sold is also higher than that of domestic ones.

Expanding foreign markets and earning foreigners' money is one aspect, and more importantly, is a way to promote traditional Chinese medicine. At present, island countries and South Korea are still leading China in the Chinese patent medicine market. Su Tao founded Sanwei Pharmaceutical to change this situation.

Su Tao said solemnly: "The production line must be increased, but the quality management must be strictly in place. Medical safety is far more important than food safety. If a small problem is expanded, then we will pay so much price and effort. It's totally wasted."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Don't worry, there will be no problems with the quality of our products with a strict and serious chief engineer like Omori Yui."
