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

Chapter 751 Xia Hongliang and Liu Xichu Confrontation

"Lin Yi and Xia Hongliang went to Jinjiang City?"

In the evening, Chen Yang and Wen Manlu had a video chat. Wen Manlu was obviously surprised to hear that Xia Hongliang and Lin Yi went to Jinjiang City.

"Yes, I just arrived today." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Have you met them?" Wen Manlu asked.

"I have seen it." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"It's a pity, I'm busy now, otherwise I could go too." Wen Manlu said with a smile.

It is already April, and there is only a little over a month left until graduation. Wen Manlu cannot leave at all recently, otherwise she really wants to watch the confrontation between Chen Yang, Lin Yi and Xia Hongliang.

Wen Manlu has an indifferent personality and is not very interested in most things, but she is interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, she would not have liked Chen Yang just because of his high level.

Lin Yi and Xia Hongliang went to Jinjiang City. If this situation were placed in a martial arts novel, it would be like two swordsmen ranked in the top ten in the world going to challenge the world's number one. No kendo master would want to miss such a grand event.

Wen Manlu is also a young talent on the Qingyun List, and Chen Yang is her lover. If she could get away, she would naturally want to witness the competition between Chen Yang, Lin Yi and Xia Hongliang.

Chen Yang, Xia Hongliang and Lin Yi were just preliminary tests, but Liu Xi and Xia Hongliang's first confrontation came faster than expected. The next morning, as soon as Chen Yang arrived at the hospital, he heard that the emergency department had admitted a critically ill patient, and the condition was very critical.

"Director Chen, please go and have a look!" The nurse from the emergency department came running over in a hurry. "The patient has a high fever and is unconscious. He has already fallen into a coma!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately rushed to the emergency department. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Xi and Xia Hongliang discussing the patient's condition in front of the bed.

"The patient is a 45-year-old male with a high fever of 40 degrees, accompanied by chills, headache, and vomiting. He has been in a coma for two hours."

As they walked, Feng Chenhui explained the situation to Chen Yang and Liu Xi: "The blood test showed an increase in white blood cells, and the CT scan showed shadows in the lungs. It is suspected to be severe pneumonia."

Feng Chenhui was the chief resident of the emergency department. He was very busy with work every day, but he had not heard about the arrival of Lin Yi and Xia Hongliang. He asked Chen Yang: "Doctor Chen, is there a new exchange doctor in your department?"

"This is Director Lin Yilin of Shen City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and this is Doctor Xia Hongliang."

Chen Yang introduced the two parties: "Mr. Feng Chenhui from the emergency department."

"Director Lin, Doctor Xia."

Feng Chenhui smiled and said, "Don't listen to what Doctor Chen says. I'm just a small chief resident. I don't dare to call myself a chief in front of Director Lin and Doctor Xia."

"Zhong Zong" is a respectful title given to the chief resident by junior doctors, nurses and even some newly promoted attending physicians. Sometimes it is also a joke. In a large department like the emergency department, the chief resident is responsible for a lot of things and is considered the leader among the frontline doctors.

But in front of senior attending physicians and associate senior doctors, the chief resident is just a resident physician.

As he spoke, Feng Chenhui had already brought Chen Yang and a few others into the ward.

There was a tense atmosphere in the ward. The monitor made regular beeping sounds and the patient's breathing was rapid and heavy.

The patient had fallen into a coma due to a high fever, and his family members were anxious beside the bed. Duan Jianping saw Chen Yang coming in and waved to him, "Xiao Chen, come and take a look."

"Let me do it."

Liu Xi said this, walked to the bedside, and began to carefully check the patient's tongue coating and pulse: "The tongue is red with yellow and greasy coating, and the pulse is slippery and rapid. This is a typical syndrome of heat and toxicity blocking the lungs."

Xia Hongliang was flipping through the patient's medical records. After a moment's silence, he said, "The patient has obvious chills and high fever, and obvious lung shadows. I think it's an exogenous wind-cold with internal heat and toxins. It belongs to the syndrome of wind-cold binding the surface and internal heat and toxins."

When Xia Hongliang said this, he didn't care about Liu Xi. In his eyes, there were only Chen Yang and Lin Yi. As for Liu Xi and Wu Mengmeng, even if they had some skills, they were definitely not good enough in Xia Hongliang's opinion.

Xia Hongliang didn't know that Liu Xi took the initiative to step forward just now just to take this opportunity to test him.

Liu Xi looked up at Xia Hongliang and said slowly, "Children and high fever are indeed manifestations of exogenous wind-cold, but the patient's tongue coating is yellow and greasy, and the pulse is slippery and rapid. It is obvious that heat toxins are blocking the lungs. The treatment should focus on clearing heat and detoxifying."

Xia Hongliang was a little surprised. He really didn't pay attention to Liu Xi before. However, with just two simple sentences, Xia Hongliang realized that this young doctor who followed Chen Yang had some skills.

Xia Hongliang smiled slightly, his tone calm but confident: "Doctor Liu, the patient's chills and high fever are manifestations of wind-cold binding the surface. If we don't relieve the surface and dispel the cold first, simply clearing away heat and detoxifying will probably not be effective."

Although Dr. Liu surprised Xia Hongliang, he was very confident. If anyone could be better than him, wouldn't all his arrogance over the years become a joke?

The two of them each insisted on their own opinions, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chen Yang stood aside and did not interrupt immediately, but carefully observed the patient's symptoms and the two people's diagnostic ideas.

"Director Lin, what do you think?" Wu Mengmeng asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The diagnoses of Doctor Liu and Doctor Xia are both reasonable. The patient's symptoms do show signs of heat and toxins blocking the lungs, but there are also signs of wind and cold binding the exterior. I suggest using drugs to dispel the exterior and cold first, and at the same time use prescriptions to clear away heat and detoxify, a two-pronged approach."

After hearing what Lin Yi said, Liu Xi and Xia Hongliang stopped arguing.

Liu Xi nodded: "Then let's follow Director Lin's plan."

Xia Hongliang also smiled slightly: "Director Lin's ideas are indeed more comprehensive."

After the treatment plan was determined, Liu Xi prescribed a modified prescription of Ma Huang Tang combined with Yin Qiao San, and asked the nurse to decoct the medicine immediately.

Soon after the patient took the medicine, the chills gradually subsided and the body temperature began to drop.

Seeing that the patient's condition had improved, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little unwilling in his heart.

He turned to Xia Hongliang and said, "Doctor Xia, it seems that your diagnosis does make sense."

Liu Xi was quite unwilling to accept that Chen Yang had been right. Although on the surface, the two of them had different opinions and seemed to be a draw, Liu Xi knew that Xia Hongliang's level was not low.

Xia Hongliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Doctor Liu, there is no need to be modest. Your diagnosis is also very accurate. It's just that the patient's condition is complicated and needs to be considered comprehensively."

Liu Xi didn't say anything, but he had a new understanding of Xia Hongliang's level. He originally thought that he was already a leader among the younger generation, but today's confrontation with Xia Hongliang made him realize that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

Xia Hongliang also glanced at Liu Xi and was quite surprised. He didn't expect that in addition to Chen Yang, there was also a doctor as good as Liu Xi in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Shanzhou Medical University.

In fact, with Xia Hongliang's level, he didn't need Lin Yi to be a middleman just now. The reason why Xia Hongliang argued with Liu Xi was that he actually wanted to hear Chen Yang say a few words. Unexpectedly, when Wu Mengmeng asked Lin Yi, Chen Yang didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"It seems I need to find another opportunity." Xia Hongliang sighed in his heart.

However, although the disease is serious, it is not complicated for them.
