Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 643: Driven Crazy



Chapter 643: Driven Crazy

The patient is a female patient in her fifties, who is now lying on the hospital bed. Her children are accompanying her on the bedside. Ren Wenxue, director of the emergency department, is standing next to Li Haofei, who is taking the patient's pulse.

Seeing Xun Jiahong coming in, Ren Wenxue hurriedly greeted Xun Jiahong: "Director Xun."

"Director Ren."

Xun Jiahong nodded to Ren Wenxue, and asked while looking at the patient: "What's the patient's condition?"

"Anxious and breathless."

Ren Wenxue said: "This condition has been going on for almost half a year. Before the New Year, the patient had been receiving treatment in Jinjiang City. He showed improvement before the Spring Festival and was discharged home. After the New Year, his condition worsened again. This morning, he had severe asthma. The patient's family was worried and rushed him to the hospital."

When the patient was sent to the hospital, the outpatient department was not open yet, so he was examined in the emergency department.

"The patient was diagnosed with hysterical wheezing at Jinjiang Central Hospital. Considering that the patient had been receiving treatment in Jinjiang for a long time, the efficacy of Western medicine was not very good."

Ren Wenxue said to Xun Jiahong: "In this case, Chinese medicine should have a better solution."

Jialin County Hospital is only a second-level hospital, and its level is certainly not comparable to that of Jinjiang Central Hospital. Jinjiang Central Hospital has been treating the patient for several months and has tried all kinds of treatments. Ren Wenxue doesn't think he has a better way.

However, Li Haofei is indeed famous in the hospital now. On the one hand, it is because Li Haofei's level is not low. On the other hand, it is also because Li Haofei has an amazing master. Chen Yang is now a celebrity in Jialin County Hospital.

In the entire hospital, almost no one didn't know Chen Yang. He worked in their hospital for only one year and cured many difficult and complicated diseases. Then he went to the provincial capital and took in an apprentice in the hospital, who was also quite talented.

Li Haofei was just an intern when he met Chen Yang. In just over a year, Li Haofei has grown to this level, which naturally makes Chen Yang even more legendary.

Xun Jiahong listened to Wenxue talking while observing the patient's condition.

The patient looked pale, a little anxious, and gasping for breath...

Li Haofei was taking the patient's pulse and asking questions at the same time, while the patient's daughter was explaining the situation.

"My mother usually stays in bed at home and doesn't dare to work. If she does a little work, she will become breathless and feel chest tightness. She sighs from time to time and sometimes even cries secretly by herself."

"How is your bowel movement?" Li Haofei asked.

"The stool is relatively dry," said the patient's son.

"How was your sleep?" Li Haofei asked again.

“Sleep is not good either.”

Li Haofei released the patient's wrist, stood up, and checked the patient's tongue coating again.

The patient's pulse is thin and stringy, and the tongue coating is thin and yellow.

After checking the patient's tongue coating, Li Haofei greeted Xun Jiahong, then walked out of the ward, motioning the patient's son and daughter to follow.

Except for the nurse, everyone else in the ward followed Li Haofei out of the ward.

When they got outside the ward, Li Haofei asked the patient's children, "How is your parents' relationship?"

"Fortunately, my father doesn't talk much, but he is very hardworking and often works on construction sites. Throughout the year, my father always works overtime more than others." said the patient's son.

"But it's also because my dad doesn't talk much, so my mom is always sulking..." said the patient's daughter.

As a woman, we should actually be more understanding of women. From the perspective of the patient's son, we feel that his father works very hard and is an honest man who doesn't talk much. But from a woman's perspective, being an honest man and not talking much is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

When something happens or when people get angry and have a quarrel, one person starts talking a lot while the other remains silent, which can really make people angry to death.

Do you want to say that he has any bad intentions? Really not, but he just doesn't want to talk, doesn't want to communicate, as if he is avoiding everything.

"Are your grandparents still alive?" Li Haofei asked again.

"My grandfather passed away two years ago, but my grandmother is still alive. She is only in her early 70s and is in good health," said the patient's son.

"How is the relationship between your mother and your grandmother?" Li Haofei asked again.

"That's about it. Actually, ever since we can remember, my mom has often quarreled with my grandma. When we were young, my mom was actually in good health and often cooked and did housework..."

Xun Jiahong frowned slightly.

Given Xun Jiahong's family background and upbringing, he rarely comes into contact with rural trivia.

Xun Jiahong's grandfather is Song Luojun, and the husband of Song Luojun's daughter is also not an ordinary person. Xun Jiahong's family is considered upper class in Kyoto. It cannot be said that there are no conflicts in the family at all, but the conflicts in rich families and poor families are definitely different.

There is a saying that goes, money can solve eighty to ninety percent of the conflicts in this world. If it cannot completely solve them, it only means that you don’t have enough money.

In poor families, the cost of making mistakes is low, and parents often get angry if their children accidentally break a bowl, a teacup, or lose a pencil or notebook. Damage to the sofa or walls can also make parents angry, but wealthy families will not do this.

The patient suffers from hysteria, a mental illness, and his wheezing is hysterical wheezing. The reason why the patient develops like this is basically due to family reasons.

Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, coupled with the husband's poor speaking skills, once a woman has a conflict with her mother-in-law, the husband will not only not comfort her, but the woman may not even have anyone to talk to. The woman gets angry while the husband remains silent.

"Your mother's condition is mainly caused by liver depression and phlegm obstruction, and lung qi rising. The treatment should start with soothing the liver, regulating qi and removing phlegm, and calming the mind."

Li Haofei asked about the patient's family situation and was able to confirm his judgment.

"I'll prescribe a prescription. Take it for a while first."

Li Haofei pondered for a moment and said, "But the best way is to take your mother out to relax..."

Li Haofei then looked at the patient's son and said, "You should have a proper talk with your father. The couple should have some communication. Your mother's condition is mainly because she can't vent her depression and aspirations. She has been holding it in her heart for a long time and can't express her grievances."

"It would be best if your mother could have a good cry and your father could comfort her and show some concern. Only in this way can she recover completely. Otherwise, in the long run, the disease will only get worse."

The patient's condition is already quite serious. If he can't vent his emotions, he will really go crazy.
