Physician’s Odyssey

Patients with gigantism will die between the ages of 20 and 30, and it is extremely rare that a few can live to middle age and survive smoothly to old age.

Because the pituitary tumors of patients with gigantism are enlarged, it oppresses normal cells of the pituitary gland, causing other endocrine functions to decline, and the ability to respond to the outside world is poor. Once an infectious disease occurs, it develops rapidly, and the condition is dangerous and difficult to treat.

Therefore, in order to prolong the lifespan of patients with gigantism, the sooner the treatment, the better.However, most patients find it late, and it will not be realized until puberty, which will be confused with puberty development.

Corresponding to gigantism, if there is too little growth hormone, "dwarfism" will form.

The patient in front of him is as tall as two meters and three meters tall. Although Su Tao's figure is good among ordinary people, he still feels half short.

"The patient is twenty-five years old this year. I started to treat him three years ago. During this period, I not only administered various drugs to him, but even performed surgery on him in the first half of the year, but his height continues. Growth." Nakajima Mingchuan did not conceal anything, telling Su Tao about the patient's condition, and at the same time, he gave Su Tao a physical examination report.

Nakajima Mingchuan knew that Su Tao did not understand island languages, so he arranged for someone to translate it into Chinese characters, so Su Tao was able to understand the report smoothly.

Judging from the attitude of Nakajima Mingchuan, he looks like everyone else.

A qualified industry leader will not use those crooked methods to achieve success, but will defeat his opponents upright.

In order to cure this patient with giant disease, Nakajima Akikawa set up a special team. The team recruited top talents. They have the most cutting-edge theoretical foundation in the field of endocrinology and hormones. In the past two years, they have even researched and developed The drug that can precisely regulate the pituitary gland was developed, and it was named "Mingchuan No. 1" and was hailed as a great pioneering work in the science of endocrinology.

Mingchuan No.1 is now focused on by major pharmaceutical companies, and its influence is no less than the ten antiviral innovative drugs launched by Anderson.

Because Anderson's innovative antiviral drug is an iterative drug, and Mingchuan No. 1 is a pioneering drug.From the perspective of promoting medical progress, Mingchuan No. 1 is even more significant, but its economic benefits are not as good as innovative antiviral drugs.

Although Mingchuan No. 1 can regulate endocrine, it has no value for this patient with giant disease, which makes Nakajima Mingchuan and his team helpless.

In the end, Nakajima could only perform surgery on his pituitary tumor, which was actually a destructive operation.The pituitary gland has various effects on the human body. Losing this part is no less than losing the heart, lungs or liver.

Without the pituitary gland to regulate various functions, it can only be repaired with drugs. Unfortunately, the operation has not changed the status quo. The patient only has a slower growth rate of height, but it continues to grow, and the bone density declines in an avalanche manner.

Nakajima Mingchuan set up an obstacle for Su Tao that he could not overcome.

In fact, Nakajima Mingchuan hopes that Su Tao can help the patients, especially since he treated several patients with Chinese medicine just now, it made Nakajima Mingchuan's eyes bright, perhaps from other angles, it can help the patients.

If Su Tao can give reasonable suggestions, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for patients. In addition, it can also provide significant contributions to world medicine.

If Su Tao is really better at it, he can accept the defeat!

As a leading figure in internal medicine of the island country, Nakajima Mingchuan has a heart and vision far beyond ordinary people.

Su Tao took the pulse to the patient, then checked his physical condition, and couldn't help but sigh in secret.

Nakajima Mingchuan frowned and asked, "What? You can't help it?"

An interpreter was there to assist. Su Tao heard Nakajima's question clearly and shook his head: "No, I have a way, but it's a pity!"

Nakajima Mingchuan curiously asked: "What a pity? Are you questioning our previous efforts? If we hadn't intervened in time, I am afraid that the patient would have been critically ill six months ago."

Su Tao waited patiently for the interpreter to finish, and smiled faintly: "What you said has a certain truth. If you don't perform the operation in time to remove the patient's pituitary tumor, the patient may indeed be in a lot of danger. However, after removing this part, He is an incomplete person. Even if I can control the growth rate of his bones, he will need to rely on hormone drugs for his life."

The translation surprised Nakajima Mingchuan. He knew that Su Tao was telling the truth and sneered: "The tone is not small. Can you stop his bones from growing?"

Su Tao smiled and said helplessly: "In the theoretical system of Western medicine, the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland is the key cause of bone growth, while in the theoretical system of Chinese medicine, the kidney is the key cause of bone growth. Kidney storage Essence is responsible for bone and marrow. The loss of renal water control leads to the loss of control of the patient’s bone growth. This is why you have removed the patient’s pituitary gland, but the patient is still slowly growing taller. Moreover, as long as you nourish the kidney and control the kidney water , The bone density of the patient’s bones can also be increased, which can effectively increase the bone density."

If it is just a simple adenohypophyseal tumor, and the diseased part is removed according to the principle, it should not grow taller.

After the operation, there was no recovery, indicating that the patient had other reasons.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes tracing the root cause, so Su Tao concluded that the patient's kidney fluid must be out of control.

Insufficient kidney qi, the kidney is not solid, men are prone to lose J, while women lose their bladder appointments, they will show frequent urination and prolonged urination.

Kidney Qi also plays an important role in promoting the human body to grow, grow, grow strong, grow old, and die.Insufficient kidney qi, decreased function of the internal organs, mental fatigue, sore waist and knees, premature whitening of beard, weak teeth or even loss of aging will occur.

Kidney water is out of control, not necessarily due to lack of water, it may also be excessive flooding, so this faucet cannot be controlled, it depends on whether the upstream can find a way to control the amount of water.

The kidney is the congenital foundation, and the spleen is the acquired source.The out-of-control of the "kidney" will cause the bones to grow out of control, so if you want to cure this patient, you must start with the "spleen."Kidney water is out of control, soil can make water.The spleen is soil, so just find a good medicine for spleen.

Su Tao wrote down the prescription of Guipi Decoction, saying: "According to this prescription for one month, it will have obvious effects. Not only will the bones stop growing, but the bone density will also increase."

"One month?" Nakajima Mingchuan frowned and looked at Su Tao, with a cold look on his face, "Even if I agree, the audience in the audience will not agree! You mean, this challenge will not be available until a month later. result?"

Nakajima Akikawa’s words are harsh, but they have some truth. Su Tao thought for a while, and said: "Even if it is a special medicine, it can't be seen immediately. His legs are severely swollen. I will give him acupuncture and moxibustion to clear the spleen and kidneys. The problem of swollen legs can be solved on the spot."

Su Tao patiently acupuncture the second meridian of the spleen and kidney, because the other is giant, so the meridians are not like normal people, they will consume more physical strength and energy.

About half an hour later, Su Tao accepted the silver needle, and Nakajima Mingchuan's eyes showed admiration, because the edema on the patient's leg had indeed disappeared.

Nakajima Mingchuan said coldly: "Within one month, I will strictly follow the prescription you gave me and let the patient take it. If the patient's condition is relieved, I will openly admit defeat to you. But if it doesn't work, please make it public. Apologies."

"No problem!" Su Tao said with a relaxed smile after the translator said it.

The two on the stage reached an agreement, but the audience below it was difficult to accept the result.

"What does this mean? Isn't this challenge countless?"

"It's not that you don't count, but postpone the release of the results."

"Of course the results will be announced at the scene. Isn't Su Tao a special cow? If he is a genius doctor, he will see miraculous effects at the scene, right?"

"Do you think treating a disease is the same as feeding a pig? If you want to feed a pig, just stuff the pig with food, but there must be a process for recovery."

"Oh, the first few challenges were very exciting, this one is really unhappy, there is no result, I always feel like my heart is rough."

The patient stood up slowly under the support of the staff. Because of his huge size, the two of them couldn't support the other.

"not good!"

Nakajima Akikawa saw the patient swayed while walking down the stage steps, and then fell down like a mountain.

"Something happened."

Nakajima Akikawa's face looked astonished. The patient suffered from severe osteoporosis. He might have broken his feet while walking. Now he fell off the steps and easily caused multiple serious injuries.

Nakajima Akikawa rushed to the steps, hesitating how to deal with the out-of-control state, only to see the patient gasping and slowly standing up, his face was full of guilt, and he cared about the two staff who supported him in a low voice. Are you all right!"

"No, my calf seems to be broken." One of the staff members said painfully, clutching his leg, sweating on his forehead.

At this time, a figure passed by Nakajima Mingchuan, and Su Tao had come to the patient with a medical box, "Don't move, I will deal with the injury urgently for you now!"

Su Tao checked the injury on his leg, it was only a slight sprain, no fracture, his wrist quickly exerted force, only heard a click, the staff was silent for several seconds, looking at Su Tao in surprise, "It doesn't seem to hurt. Up!"

Su Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the patient with gigantism. He looked normal. It seems that the acupuncture and moxibustion on him just now had a certain effect.

The spleen and kidney meridians remain smooth and the muscles and bones are nourished, so the coordination of movements and the toughness of the muscles and bones are improved.

Nakajima Mingchuan witnessed Su Tao quickly dealt with the injuries on the scene, skillfully and swiftly, and then looked at the safe and sound of the patient with giant disease, his eyes were full of incredible color.

The staff all broke and fractured. How could patients with osteoporosis gigantism be all right?

Is it luck?

Maybe it's because Su Tao just played a role in acupuncture?

Nakajima Mingchuan sighed secretly, he must admit that Su Tao changed his views on Chinese medicine!

Nakajima Akikawa took the initiative to ask for a microphone from Kashima Ryo, "I have to announce one thing to everyone. You don't have to spend a month waiting for the result of this competition. My challenge failed.
