Physician’s Odyssey

Su Tao and Ling Yu came to the office and started discussing the treatment plan for Zhou Jingqi. They had some disagreements on how to treat them.

"Why not use Qinghuang San?" Ling Yu puzzled. "Chronic myeloid leukemia can be treated with drugs that detoxify, remove blood stasis, and eliminate symptoms. Detoxification is for the cause; removing blood stasis and symptoms are for pathological changes and symptoms. The ancient prescription is green. Huang San has this effect. Among them, Qingdai tastes salty and cold, which can reduce swelling and blood stasis, cool blood and detoxify; Realgar tastes pungent and warm, can relieve all kinds of toxins, reduce accumulation, and relieve blood stasis in the abdomen. When the two drugs are used together, there is detoxification , Remove blood stasis and relieve symptoms."

Qinghuang San is an ancient prescription. It was first used to treat sores. In the last century, Qinghuang San was used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. It was a miracle. The effective rate was second only to bone marrow transplantation, and it was cheap and effective until Gelie The appearance of Wei.

Until now, Qinghuang San is still used to treat patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who are financially inadequate.

Su Tao shook his head and sighed: "Qinghuang Powder has toxic and side effects. It is composed of Indigo Naturalis and Realgar. Indigo Naturalis contains indigo, indirubin, protein, tannic acid and inorganic salts. The realgar contains mainly arsenic disulfide. Do you have any? Notice the problem with her heart?"

Ling Yu sighed and nodded: "Her heart does have symptoms of poisoning, and I have observed this detail. But she can only continue to use Qinghuang San in this situation."

Su Tao frowned and analyzed: "The patient has a second relapse after bone marrow transplantation. He must have used various methods before. Qinghuang San must have also tried to use it, so that the heart has toxic side effects, so he can only give up using Qinghuang San. Otherwise, the disease cannot be cured because the side effects will cause serious consequences."

Ling Yu said solemnly: "It makes sense to not use blue and yellow powder, but she is so seriously ill that she can only win by danger."

Su Tao understood Ling Yu's thoughts. If it weren't for the critical situation, Ling Yu's diagnosis and treatment habits would definitely make progress gradually, but because Zhou Jingqi was seriously ill, she insisted on using Qinghuang San even if she knew that toxic side effects would occur.

Su Tao shook his head and said, "I suggest using Angelica nourishing blood soup to warm her body and intestines."

Ling Yu was startled slightly, but he didn't expect Su Tao's method to be so soft.

As early as 1240, Li Dongyuan, a famous doctor, once created a Danggui Buxue Decoction based on Huangqi and Angelica, which later became the basic prescription for the treatment of leukemia.When leukemia occurs, use astragalus, angelica, licorice, rhubarb enema, decoction twice, drink once, and enema once.

Seeing Ling Yu twisting his eyebrows in thought, Su Tao explained: "The intestine is an important digestive organ of the human body and the largest detoxification organ of the human body. In terms of self-healing ability, the intestine plays a more important role. Therefore, the intestinal function is restored, Eliminating toxins is another way of thinking."

Ling Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Your entry point is refreshing."

Su Tao continued his analysis and said: "The German National Research Institute stated in a 2001 report that if all substances that can treat diseases are called medicines, the human body can produce more than 10,000 medicines. More than 70% of the drugs are in the intestines. General diseases can be cured by these drugs. However, Zhou Jingqi relapsed after bone marrow transplantation. I think the key reason lies in the intestinal toxicity, because more than 90% The cause of death of leukemia patients is intestinal endotoxemia."

Ling Yu frowned and said: "There is a view that leukemia is a complex disease that lacks essential nutrients for the human body. It is similar to'nutrition deficiency'. You use nourishing prescriptions to try to supplement her body's nutrition. It should be Considered from this perspective. But she is now in a critical condition, and such a mild prescription may not be effective."

You need to use a heavy hammer to sound the drum, and you need to take strong medicine for the insufficiency.Ling Yu disagreed with Su Tao's plan because he violated basic medical principles.

Seeing that Su Tao and Ling Yu had different opinions, they shifted their angles and asked with a smile: "Zhou Jingqi has good luck. We are both masters with acupuncture. If we use Danggui Buxue Tang to warm her intestines, then we will force her to help her through acupuncture and massage. Detoxification, do you think this plan is feasible?"

Ling Yu frowned and thought, Su Tao's proposal has no classic reference.

This is also where his master's assessment of the gap between himself and Su Tao lies. Ling Yu even surpasses Su Tao in terms of the solidity of the theoretical foundation, but Su Tao often breaks out of the box and finds a different way of thinking. This is what he lacks.

Ling Yu and Su Tao's medical skills are not the same, each has its own advantages.

Su Tao came up with a different treatment plan, but it does not necessarily mean it is correct.

Both of them knew that this was trial and error, and they were walking a path that no predecessors had ever walked.But now I only have to face the difficulties, at least using Danggui Buxue Decoction is more reliable than using Qinghuang San, you can try it first.

Su Tao wrote prescriptions. In addition to astragalus and angelica, there are seven Chinese medicines such as raw licorice, rhubarb, myrobalan, Bupleurum, Guangmuxiang, northern hawthorn, and Cynomorium. Rhubarb and Bupleurum can control the disease; myrobalan is Mongolian and Tibetan people must use it to treat intractable diseases and have special effects on lung infections; Guangmuxiang and Northern Crataegus are to solve the appetizer problem; Cynomorium is to clear cell memory and achieve anti-aging effects.

However, Ling Yu noticed a detail: Su Tao used drugs more than three times the amount commonly used in Compendium of Materia Medica.

"Using such a large amount?" Ling Yu was taken aback. "The patient's body is very fragile. Will there be any adverse symptoms after taking such a large amount? If the amount of rhubarb is too much, it will cause diarrhea and collapse?"

"Taking enough is effective." Su Tao said stubbornly.

Although a mild prescription was used, the amount of medicine was greatly increased, which in fact confirmed Ling Yu's thinking that "sickness needs to take strong medicine".

Ling Yu frowned, did not say much, just sighed softly. After all, the patient belonged to Su Tao, and he was just assisting in the treatment.

Su Tao wrote down the prescription and asked Chen Rui to arrange for the medicine to be picked up in the pharmacy. After half an hour, the decoction was decocted. Su Tao personally guided Zhou Jingqi to take it, "After taking this bowl of decoction, you may experience discomfort. Don’t worry too much, yes. Normal reaction."

After Zhou Jingqi took the medicine, Su Tao gave her a pulse and said: "You have a good rest, I will see you later."

About two hours later, Su Tao and Ling Yu walked into the ward again. Zhou Jingqi suddenly covered his stomach and frowned, "Where is the bathroom, please?"

With a finger from Ling Yu, Zhou Jingqi jumped out of the bed and rushed into the toilet. There was a loud noise in the toilet.In about five or six minutes, Zhou Jingqi walked out of the bathroom, although her face was pale.

Ling Yu gave Zhou Jingqi a pulse, but nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Zhou Jingqi had just sat on the side of the bed, and before she had time to sit still, her stomach suddenly moved, and she rushed into the bathroom again.

Seeing her daughter suddenly reacted abnormally, Fang Xueling said anxiously: "Expert Su, Expert Ling, is there a problem with the decoction just now, and she broke her stomach?"

Ling Yu glanced at Su Tao and saw that his face was as sinking as water. Not surprisingly, she comforted Fang Xueling and said, "Don't worry, this is a normal reaction."

Not long after Zhou Jingqi returned to the room, she walked toward the bathroom again, and after repeated six times, she was considered normal.

"How do you feel?" Su Tao asked Zhou Jingqi.

"I feel a lot easier." Zhou Jingqi's face has a ruddy color.

"Tell me about the stool situation in detail. Don't be shy. Both Dr. Su and I are doctors. We need to know something before we can specify the next treatment plan." Ling Yu felt slightly relieved, knowing that Su Tao's plan had worked. Asked calmly.

After all, Zhou Jingqi is a 19-year-old girl. Facing the young Su Tao and Ling Yu, she was uncomfortable. She intermittently said: "It was all black at first, but then slowly turned red. Without going to the toilet, she would I feel a little loose in the lower abdomen, becoming more and more comfortable, and the occasional abdominal pain disappeared."

After a long illness and became a doctor, Zhou Jingqi knew her physical condition very well. She knew that her physical condition had improved significantly, so her tone became lighter.

Su Tao stared at Zhou Jingqi and said seriously: "You come to me for treatment to relieve the patient. As a doctor, I will never make fun of your body. Thank you for your trust in me. I hope we can cooperate with each other in the future. , Trust each other, your condition can be cured."

Fang Xueling knew that Su Tao said this to herself. Just now, she saw her daughter frequently go to the bathroom, and she doubted Su Tao.

She was feeling very complicated and annoyed, and quickly bowed to Su Tao, "Expert Su, what you said is right, I apologize to you."

Su Tao sighed softly, "You should know how serious your daughter’s condition is. It cannot be cured overnight. Since you have chosen me, you must believe my method. Your daughter has evil poison in her body. The diarrhea should continue until tomorrow morning, and when the evil toxins are exhausted, we will re-prescribe the prescriptions and gradually take care of her body."

"Thank you." Tears flickered in Fang Xueling's eyes. She suddenly hesitated and whispered to Su Tao, "Expert Su, can we talk a few words alone?"

"Of course." Su Tao followed Fang Xueling to the door.

Fang Xueling lowered her voice and said with shame: "You have not talked to me about medical expenses, but I want to know how much it will cost." She paused, biting her lip, "Please rest assured, as long as it can be cured. Good for her illness, even if she sells iron, I will definitely meet your requirements."

Su Tao said: "I know a little bit about your economic situation, so don't worry about it for the time being, you don't need to think too much about the cost."

Fang Xueling's complexion was slight, and she said stubbornly: "No, since it's a cure, of course I have to pay, otherwise my conscience won't get through."

Su Tao was a little surprised by Fang Xueling. I guess this is why Ding Dang was willing to help Fang Xueling. If Fang Xueling was not a person with personality, Ding Dang would not try to design a way for her to contact Su Tao.

Although Ding Dang is sometimes impulsive in doing things, she knows that if this form of walking through the back door is disgusted by Su Tao, she might be unemployed.

"Well, if you do me a favor, it counts as offsetting the two." Su Tao did not want to charge or hurt Fang Xueling's dignity, and was ready to propose a two-pronged approach.
