Physician’s Odyssey

The next room is small in size, clean in color and simple in decoration.

Woman sitting on a chair, holding a tea cup in her hand.

The man held a cigarette, but did not take a sip for a long while, and sparks swallowed half of the cigarette.

"I don't know what's going on inside?" Yan Canxian frowned, the tea in the cup had already become warm.

"If he can't cure the old man, I'm afraid it's true... no one in this world can save him anymore." The man is Shui Lao's son Shui Chen.

He knew his wife's complicated mood, and he obviously didn't like Su Tao, but at the moment he pinned all his hopes on Su Tao.

Although Yan Canxian opposed her daughter Shui Junzhuo and Su Tao, she still recognized Su Tao's medical skills.

Although there is a big concern in her mind, if Su Tao saves her father-in-law again this time, I am afraid the guild will make a decision to facilitate the marriage of Su Tao and Shui Junzhuo.

Yan Canxian's heart could never pass that hurdle. Although the grudges of the previous generation should not be involved in the next generation, there are some things that can not be forgotten with one eye closed.

Of course, although there are many ideas in his mind, Yan Canxian still hopes that Shui Lao will be well.

After all, Shui is always the core of the Shui family. Now that the fight is so fierce, there are several core figures in the Shui family faction who have been implicated by an event. If Shui Lao died at this moment, it is very likely that the Shui family will be completely depressed.Among the key figures, there is also his own younger brother, a powerful leader in Hunan Province.

Yan Canxian finally couldn't hold it back, and stood up and said, "I'll take a look."

Shuichen stopped his wife and frowned, "What are you going to do? It can't help, and it will affect his treatment."

Yan Canxian looked at her husband displeasedly, and said, "Do you think I am such a person who is so confused?"

Shui Chen knew that his wife's temper was bad, and he might vent his emotions to Su Tao. He checked the watch on his wrist and said, "Expert Cao has arrived. I will arrange for Expert Cao to go in and have a look. We laymen. Don't bother."

His wife did not respond. Cao Xun is also a member of the expert team of the Provincial Health Bureau's Health Bureau and one of his father's regular health care experts. His level has actually reached the level of Chinese medicine. Usually, whoever is sick in the family is treated by Cao Xun.Even though the relationship between Su Tao and Shui Lao is so good, the Shui family still has a strong dependence on Cao Xun.

Closed the door, Cao Xun and the Shui family are a family.

The Shui Family believes in his loyalty and will not spread the news that Shui is sick and old. Both Yan Canxian and Shui Chen have higher trust in Cao Xun than Su Tao.

It's not that Su Tao is not credible, but that the doctor's trust is accumulated through long-term precipitation.

When Shui Lao got a strange disease, Cao Xun participated in activities abroad, and Kan Bo, a Chinese medicine expert, was recommended by Cao Xun.

In the past few days, Cao Xun was too busy with Shui Lao's condition. He pushed away all other activities and took his team every day to formulate corresponding treatment plans based on Shui Lao's condition.

He heard that Su Tao had come to the water house, and he was still looking forward to it.

At the time when Su Tao cured Shui Lao, Cao Xun understood very clearly. He was born as a Western medicine doctor and didn’t know much about Chinese medicine. However, there were also people proficient in Chinese medicine in his team. Cao Xun learned from him about Su Tao. The evaluation is very high.

Su Tao has heard of Cao Xun's name, and Cao Xun is one of the few in Huainan Province. It stands to reason that he is fully qualified to enter the TCM expert group, but for unknown reasons, Cao Xun only joined the Huainan Provincial Health Bureau.

Su Tao and Cao Xun shook hands first, and the two left the room to discuss Shui Lao's condition.

"I have specifically learned about several of your famous medical records. I have such brilliant medical skills at a young age. It is really worth admiring." Cao Xun looked at Su Tao and said calmly: "I was far inferior to you when I was young."

Cao Xun is a well-earned man. He suddenly became famous when he was about 45 years old.

Su Tao said modestly: "Senior Cao, you are polite. I'm really ashamed of it."

Cao Xun said quickly, "Let’s discuss Shui Lao’s condition together! Shui Lao’s condition has changed very rapidly. I thought it was a common cold, but I didn’t expect it to become very bad later. Thanks to you leaving the life-saving pills before, I’m afraid I’m going to support it. Not now."

Su Tao likes Cao Xun's attitude very much. He has the tolerance and demeanor of a master. Generally speaking, doctors who have become famous and family are very open-minded.

Su Tao didn't conceal the slightest concealment, and asked, "If I'm not wrong, more than a month ago, Shui Lao was so upset about something, right?"

Cao Xun nodded and said: "You asked the old man to read the "Diamond Sutra" for a long time, and he almost didn't lose his temper for a long time. But this time I was really angry. Alas, it's mainly because some people have done too much, and the old man takes it seriously. People."

The water family’s crisis this time is probably because of this.

"Have you checked the immune function?" Su Tao asked suddenly. It is not surprising that Cao Xun is. Su Tao is at the level of Chinese medicine and should be familiar with Western medicine diagnosis methods.

Cao Xun asked his assistant to take out a document and hand it to Su Tao.

Su Tao knew that Cao Xun was not trying to compare himself. He wanted to analyze his conclusions to see if he could see the difference.

Su Tao glanced around, frowned, and said, "Immune function is normal!"

Cao Xun said: "This is the strange thing. There is a Chinese medicine doctor in my team. He analyzes Shui Lao's condition, like Yingwei's disharmony, but whether there is any specific performance."

Yingwei refers to two types of qi in the human body, one is Yingqi and the other is Weiqi.

"Ying, the essence of water valley. Harmony in the five internal organs, sprinkling Chen in the six fu-organs, it can enter the veins. Therefore, follow the veins up and down, penetrate the five internal organs, and network the six fu-organs." Ying Qi, to put it simply, is human The nutrients in the body are various chemical elements in Western medicine, but they are a kind of Qi in Chinese medicine.

"A person who defends the air, so the person who warms the meat, fills the skin, fats up the body, and opens the joint."To put it simply, Wei Qi refers to a person's immune function, and Chinese medicine also regards it as a gas.

The most common manifestation of the disagreement between the camp and the guard is the "emptiness" that everyone often sees. People will sweat a lot after a little exercise.

Shui Lao's condition is obviously a "disharmony between the camp and the guard" to a very serious degree, and he is "weak" already bedridden.

However, Western medicine tests the immune system and it is normal, which is obviously a bit strange.

Su Tao suddenly flashed a bright light in his mind, and asked carefully: "Did the tonsils get inflamed in the first place?"

Cao Xun nodded and said, "It was a long time ago. Shui Lao had tonsils from time to time. At that time, we even gave him anti-inflammatory drugs."

Su Tao asked again: "After the onset of the disease, did you have symptoms of hepatitis?"

Cao Xun's eyes showed an unexpected look, "Yes, urethritis occurred later... Generally speaking, it is very similar to lupus erythematosus, but because there is no problem with the immune function, we ruled it out again."

The reason why Shui Lao's illness made Cao Xun and his team unable to deal with is because the cause has not been found yet.

The first reaction of an experienced doctor is to suspect that it is related to an immune system disease like lupus erythematosus, so Su Tao asked about the immune function test data in the first sentence.

Su Tao said solemnly: "I want to see the health records for the past six months."

Cao Xun nodded and said: "Well, wait a moment, I will let someone call it out from the computer." Shui Lao's health and treatment records are all electronically archived.

After waiting for ten minutes, someone sent the record over. Su Tao held the tablet and looked at it for almost half an hour, his eyebrows suddenly loosened, "I probably know the reason."

Cao Xun looked at Su Tao and said, "What conclusion do you have?"

Su Tao explained: "The old man's condition is indeed a disharmony between the camp and the guard, and the cause is still related to irritability. A careful study of his condition shows that the symptoms are from the bottom to the top, with tonsillitis, hepatitis, and urethritis. After the pathogen enters the body, the immune system attacks the pathogen, but because of timely intervention and treatment, the immune system does not directly attack the pathogen. Instead, the secreted substances are attacking the human body."

Cao Xun could roughly analyze the cause of Su Tao, and said, "You mean, our treatment has broken down?"

"Yes!" Su Tao nodded, "I suggest that the immune system function be tested again. Not surprisingly, Shui Lao's immune system indicators are higher than ordinary people, and higher than the previous test data."

Shui Lao’s current physical condition is very strange. Under normal circumstances, substances continuously secreted by the immune system can kill many viruses, but now it is used to kill his own organs, causing all organs and viscera in the body to have disease. .

To explain briefly, it is similar to the principle that a poisonous snake will be killed by its own venom.

The venom normally exists in the venom sac at the root of the poisonous snake's teeth and will not flow into its own blood for no reason.When the teeth bite the prey, the venom will be sprayed into the blood circulatory system of the prey and the poison will die.If the venom flows into the snake's own blood system, the snake will also be poisoned to death.

The substance secreted by the immune system is like snake venom, which exists in the immune system, which can kill the pervasive viruses and has the same lethality to the human organs.

Under normal circumstances, these substances will offset the virus, but if these substances are too much, it will cause damage to the human body.

Cao Xun's conclusion to Su Tao was also unheard of, but he knew Su Tao's level and asked his assistant to arrange an immune system check for Shui Lao.

After half an hour, the data came out. Like Su Tao's analysis, the value of the immune system was higher than normal.

Cao Xun sighed and asked, "How should I treat it next?"

Su Tao wrote a prescription on the spot, saying: "According to this prescription, it may be effective to take water. However, there may be some misunderstanding processes next."

Cao Xun said solemnly: "As long as Shui Lao can regain his health, I am willing to bear any pressure."

Su Tao shook his head and sighed: "I prescribe the recipe. Even if there is a voice of doubt, it will be directly applied to me. I only hope that you can wait for a week in silence without any wavering."

Although Cao Xun didn't know what method Su Tao adopted, he didn't have a better choice at this moment. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Su Tao had mastered Cao Xun's ideological work, and then went into the room to talk to Mr. Shui about his treatment ideas in detail.

Shui Lao agreed, and called Shui Chen, and told him to trust Su Tao's diagnosis and treatment plan.

However, there are also people in the Shui family who are unwilling to believe in Su Tao.
