Physician’s Odyssey

Su Tao walked into the room, studied Emilia's complexion carefully, frowning uncontrollably.

In Chinese medicine, looking for qi mainly depends on the mental state of the person, and the face is one of the main reference standards.,

Emilia is young and she is not exposed to the wind and sun. Her complexion should be healthy, white in color, and very matte. It is the kind of vigorous feeling at first glance.

However, Emilia’s face looks normal on the surface, but a closer look reveals that the skin has dark markings. If you look at it with a ten-fold magnifying glass, it will appear to be chapped into pieces. As for the hairs on the pores, there is also a feeling of death. .

Su Tao asked: "Mr. Hugo, can you elaborate on the patient's behavior and the specific time when the abnormality occurred?"

After Hugo waited for the interpreter to relay it, he replied: "Three months ago, her personal maid suddenly discovered that Her Royal Highness was standing at the window of the attic, yelling. Since then, her condition has been good. It’s bad. At that time, she was checked and all physiological indicators were tested. There was no problem. But the situation continued to deteriorate. She began to forget what she had done, and the foreign languages ​​she was proficient in before quickly forgot, until now even basic arithmetic It was impossible to proceed. Since then, the royal family has started looking for experts across the country, and still has not diagnosed what disease Emilia is suffering from."

Hugo paused: "We also hired a psychiatrist later. As you analyzed before, because of the decline in IQ, we cannot determine whether the psychological factor is the root cause of her illness."

Su Tao nodded and walked to Emilia's body. Just about to give her a pulse, Emily suddenly pulled back, staring at Su Tao with both eyes, as if she had encountered the biggest one. Threatening, she subconsciously picked up the pillow and threw it towards Su Tao, but Su Tao easily blocked it.

"Emilia, be obedient. This is the doctor who is treating you. As long as you cooperate with him, your illness will have a chance to be cured." Albert's voice was a little anxious, trying to persuade Emilia.

Su Tao shook his head at Albert and told him not to speak.

Su Tao suddenly raised his face and said angrily: "Have you ever seen a terrifying picture, trying to make yourself forget, right? If you don't cooperate with my treatment, that picture will always be with you."

A look of horror appeared in Emilia's eyes suddenly, her mouth opened wide, and she started to cry.

Albert didn't expect such a situation to happen, he was very puzzled, just about to speak, but was stopped by Hugo.

Hugo was very surprised, because Emilia had a reaction, which meant she could actually hear what Su Tao said. According to the previous intelligence test, Emilia had forgotten all the language, but why can she now Can you understand Chinese?

With this abnormal situation, Hugo felt a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

"His Royal Highness, please stay calm, I think this young Chinese medicine doctor is still a little outgoing. Emilia is supposed to be only eight or nine years old now, but why can she understand Su Tao's language?" Hugo Said with a solemn expression.

Su Tao remained calm, taking advantage of Emilia's howling pain, quickly came to her, took a look at her tongue and throat, and quickly rolled over her eyelids and whites of eyes.

After checking the basic situation, Su Tao quickly stretched out his index finger and clicked on the Baihui acupoint on Emilia's head. Although there is no silver needle, he can achieve a similar effect with his fingers.

Albert stood beside him, his eyes widened, almost exclaiming, Su Tao's posture was so rough that he "injured" Emilia with his fingers.

However, Emilia's cries stopped abruptly after tightening the knob as if she was being tapped by a tap.

Amelia slowly closed her eyes and slid her body, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.

Su Tao reacted quickly, holding Emilia, letting her lie gently on the sofa, and covering her with a thin bedding.

Albert has rushed to the side of Emilia and saw his sister's chest rise and fall rhythmically. Knowing that she has no major problems, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What did you do to her?"

Su Tao ignored Albert's interference and tried Emilia's carotid artery. When Emilia's blood was stable, he gave Emilia a pulse.

Albert realized that Su Tao's diagnosis and treatment for Emilia was still in progress. After all, he had received a good education, and he resisted the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, and went aside depressed.

After another ten minutes, Su Tao let go of Emilia's wrist, frowned, and fell into thought.

Hugo was impatient and couldn't help it anymore. He asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out what?"

Su Tao glanced at Hugo indifferently, and said calmly: "The patient's condition is very strange. Her body is judged by pulse diagnosis and there is no trace of disease, but his complexion is very abnormal. Confusing."

After hearing the translation, Hugo showed an unpleasant look on his face, "If you can't help it, just say it straight, there is no need to be mysterious."

Su Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and explained: "Based on my diagnosis, Emilia is only slightly deficient in qi and blood, and there is no serious illness, but if you look carefully at her complexion, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is abnormal, and you can see snake skin Like lines."

Hugo took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at Emilia’s skin for a long time. It was a little surprised, and he thought that Su Tao’s eyesight was really amazing. Normal eyesight couldn’t see the difference, only in the role of a magnifying glass. You can see the difference when you download it. No wonder you and your team members have not found the problem.

Su Tao relied on this small discovery to make Hugo feel a bit of strength.

Hugo groaned: "Her face has the symptoms of depletion of the fluff. The complexion looks ruddy, but there is a faint gray color. It is indeed different from the complexion of a normal person, but what does this have to do with the disease?"

Albert took the magnifying glass from Hugo, first glanced at Emilia’s skin, then waved to the entourage next to him, and said, "You come here." Comparing the entourage and Emilia’s skin, Albert also saw a clear difference.

Su Tao saw that everyone began to believe in the subtleties that he had observed, and he was relieved, and asked: "I need you to recall whether the patient has had any disease in the past six months."

After hearing the translation, Hugo showed a look of consternation in his eyes, "You said that, I do feel a little bit. After she returned from Africa half a year ago, she did have a severe diarrhea. At that time, she used several drugs. It didn't work. Later we hired the most famous gastroenterologist in the UK to cure her diarrhea. Is this related to the disease six months ago?"

Hugo is a little skeptical of Su Tao's point of view, because in the theory of Western medicine, diarrhea is already in the past. After the cure, the symptoms of diarrhea no longer occur, which means her body has recovered.Moreover, diarrhea and mental decline are also irrelevant.

Diarrhea can make people stupid, that is the world's number one joke.

Su Tao thought for a while, and said, "Could you show me the prescription that I gave Emilia to treat the disease six months ago?"

If you change it to another family, you may throw it away, but this is the British royal family, and the Royal Hospital must have kept the complete materials.

"Yes!" Hugo faced his assistant, leaned to his ear, and whispered, "Go and get Princess Emilia's medicine list for treating diarrhea six months ago."

After a while, the assistant handed the medicine list to Su Tao. Su Tao looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed uncontrollably, and asked Hugo: "Is this doctor someone you are familiar with?"

Hugo displeased: "Of course. How could I casually introduce a doctor to treat the princess. He is not only well-known in the country for gastroenterology treatment, but also ranks first in the world."

Su Tao shook his head and said, "I don't know if there are any samples of the medicine taken for the princess at that time."

Hugo nodded and said: "Yes, each of our work is very detailed and meticulous. I don't know if there are samples of the medicines she took six months ago, and even the samples of medicines taken ten years ago five years ago are also reserved."

Because the target of the service is the British royal family, there will be a file for any medicine used. This is not only responsible for the patient, but also strictly required by the doctor. Once you use the wrong medicine, it is likely to be reversed at any time.

Su Tao said: "Then please show me the sample."

Hugo did not show impatience because he was curious about what new ideas Su Tao would propose.

Su Tao took the sample bag from Assistant Hugo. Several pills were sealed in it. He put the pills on the tip of his tongue and tasted one by one, and finally left a green pill. He said in a serious tone, "I have to trouble you. Perform detailed composition analysis on this pill."

Hugo suddenly realized that the matter had become serious, and if it was really related to the disease he had previously treated, it meant that he would be involved.

Hugo said solemnly: "What do you want to explain?"

Su Tao sighed and said: "The medicine list is okay, but there is a big problem with the medicine sample sealed in the bag. This green pill contains special ingredients and is rich in ephedrine*alkaloids, which can stimulate the human brain."

Ephedrine* alkali belongs to the first category of psychotropic drugs and is a controlled drug in various countries. There are strict requirements for purchase and use.The chemical molecular structure of ephedrine*alkaloids is very similar to that of ephedrine*alkali. For example, the infamous methamphetamine, also known as methamphetamine*alkali, can cause mental euphoria and hallucinations.

Hugo was taken aback and said angrily: "The medicine is provided by our Royal Hospital. How can such a problem arise?"

Su Tao shook his head and said: "Although I don't know if the medicine is provided by your Royal Hospital, there is indeed an ephedrine-like alkaloid in this pill. You might as well arrange for someone to take it for testing. Facts speak louder than words."

Hugo glared at Su Tao fiercely. Of course he was not convinced, and called his assistant, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and do a drug analysis, focusing on checking whether there are ephedrine*alkali-like ingredients in it."
