Chapter 998 Miracle?
Evans was listening on the side with a confused look on his face.
Su Yunxue tried her best to translate for Evans in a language that Evans could understand.
"Aconite, White Atractylodes, Astragalus, and American Ginseng—warm the Yang and replenish Qi, strengthen the spleen and kidneys, and invigorate the extremely weakened vital energy."
"This is the key to 'strengthening the body' and the foundation for subsequent treatment."
Su Yunxue explained: "Dr. Evans, you can understand Zhengqi as something that is beneficial to the patient's condition."
"In Traditional Chinese Medicine, anything that harms one's health is called evil qi, and anything that helps one's health is called positive qi. A person's positive qi is their own immune system. Strengthening the body's positive qi means enhancing their own immunity and resistance."
"Artemisia capillaris, gardenia, rhubarb, and buffalo horn—they powerfully clear away damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, cool the blood, detoxify, and reduce jaundice. These are the mainstays of 'dispelling evil'."
"Danggui, red peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, turmeric, and Panax notoginseng—promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, clear liver and gallbladder congestion, and stop bleeding."
"Poria cocos and Alisma orientalis – promote diuresis and eliminate dampness, preventing ascites from worsening; raw barley malt – soothes the liver and stomach, aiding digestion."
"Enema prescription - it can relieve heat and eliminate toxins, remove the fire from under the cauldron, and reduce the burden on the liver."
Evans was even more confused after hearing this: "Doesn't Traditional Chinese Medicine target specific viruses? It only targets evil and righteous qi?"
"Doctor Su, you just said that what's beneficial to the body is called positive energy, and what's harmful is called negative energy. Isn't it necessary to distinguish them?"
"The biggest difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that Chinese medicine starts from the whole body, treating the whole from the point of view of the whole."
Wen Haodong, who was standing nearby, said, "Western medicine treats patients based on a single point. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the whole, while Western medicine focuses on the part."
"Western medicine is also holistic," Evans argued.
"Yes."
Wen Haodong nodded and said, "It's just that Chinese medicine has a stronger holistic view. Chinese medicine relies on the four properties and five flavors of the medicinal materials to diagnose diseases, and the method used is to eliminate excess and replenish deficiency..."
"If you are deficient, replenish it; if you are excessive, drain it; if you are cold, warm it; if you are hot, cool it."
Evans opened his mouth and became even more confused.
It sounds simple, but is the problem really that simple?
However, in these few days, Evans has discovered that Chinese medicine is indeed a self-contained system of medicine with a complete structure, which is different from his previous speculation.
Previously, Evans believed that traditional Chinese medicine was a backward form of medicine and that relying on Chinese herbal medicine to treat diseases was just a matter of luck.
"Director Zhong, Western medicine's supportive treatment is our lifeline. We must stabilize the internal environment and create space for traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture to play their role."
On the other side, Chen Yang continued to give instructions. This sentence was said to Zhong Dongyang.
Zhong Dongyang nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, the Western Medicine Department will fully cooperate. I will personally monitor his vital signs and laboratory indicators. Albumin, plasma, and coagulation factors will be given as needed, and nutritional support will be provided."
Chu Gaobo listened with a surge of emotion, yet also felt immense pressure. He had never seen such a complex and sophisticated combination of Chinese and Western medicine, so interconnected, so bold and cautious.
Chu Gaobo sighed inwardly: No wonder Zhong Dongyang and Chen Yang dared to take on this "impossible task".
Once the plan was finalized, the medical center began to operate at high speed like a precision machine.
There are not many patients in the center at present, and Ye Guoliang's condition is relatively special, so Ye Guoliang's ward has become a key monitoring area.
The intravenous infusion pump delivers albumin, plasma and liver-protecting drugs around the clock.
Wen Haodong arrived at the ward on time every day to give Ye Guoliang acupuncture. His technique became more steady and precise, and his needle placement became more accurate.
Acupuncture at the Zusanli and Guanyuan points employed a prototype of the burning mountain fire technique, aiming to stimulate the patient's remaining yang energy. Qimen and Yinlingquan were treated with a clean, sharp, and draining technique, aiming to unblock liver and gallbladder stagnation. Although Ye Guoliang was frail, his frown seemed to relax for a moment after each acupuncture session, and his abdominal distension subsided slightly, offering the patient's family a glimmer of hope.
Evans asked his assistant to monitor the changes in Ye Guoliang's test indicators every day.
第三天：总胆红素（TBIL）降至 355mmol/L，直接胆红素（DBIL）降至 285mmol/L。凝血酶原时间（PT）缩短至17秒（INR 1.52）。白蛋白（ALB）升至30g/L。最令人振奋的是，大便颜色开始转黄！
Day 280: TBIL 220mmol/L, DBIL 15.5mmol/L. PT 1.35 seconds (INR 33). ALB g/L. Ascites had essentially resolved. Ye Guoliang's mental state had significantly improved; he was able to ask for water on his own initiative. The frequency and severity of his right upper abdominal pain had decreased, and his appetite had slightly increased. The tongue coating had changed from a thick, greasy, burnt yellow coating to a thin, greasy yellow coating, and the dark purple tinge had slightly diminished. The pulse, while still fine, had become less heavy and astringent, becoming slightly softer.
Day 195: TBIL 150mmol/L, DBIL 14.2mmol/L. PT 1.18 seconds (INR 36). ALB g/L. Weight stabilized, and lower limb edema resolved. The patient was able to sit up briefly with assistance and engage in simple conversation. Jaundice had visibly diminished.
"Miracle... This is simply a miracle!"
Evans looked at the latest test results, his voice trembling with excitement. "The Child-Pugh score has dropped to 7, barely making it into Grade A! The coagulation function is close to normal. This is simply a miracle!"
Chu Gaobo looked at the data, and a relieved smile finally broke out on his face after more than ten days of tension. "The Chinese medicine preoperative conditioning played an indispensable role! This has won precious opportunities and space for the operation!"
"Director Chen is amazing."
As he spoke, Chu Gaobo couldn't help but glance at Evans beside him.
The foreign expert's expression at this moment was the most exaggerated. Obviously, the patient had nothing to do with him, but he cared about the result more than anyone else. Looking at his expression at this moment, it was as if the patient was his biological father.
"The surgical risk is still huge, but we have pulled Teacher Ye back from the edge of the cliff. Director Chen, can we start discussing the detailed surgical plan?" Zhong Dongyang asked Chen Yang.
"Well, it's almost done. Let's have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the surgical plan." Chen Yang nodded.
While Ye Guoliang was receiving treatment at the Kyoto International Medical Center, news of Ye Guoliang's condition spread, and many domestic hospitals turned their attention to the Kyoto International Medical Center.
Even some foreign medical institutions are paying attention to Ye Guoliang's condition at Kyoto International Medical Center.
Just as Borg finished his work, his assistant placed a document in front of him: "This is the latest situation with Dr. Chen."
Borg took the folder and just glanced at it before frowning.
"Similar to Mr. Wilson's case, the patient's condition is even more serious than Mr. Wilson's."
"Yes," said Borg's assistant.
"hiss!"
Borg took a deep breath and said, "For patients in this condition, the surgical risk is higher. Even if our original team were to perform the operation again, I wouldn't be very confident."
The assistant said nothing.
"Please ask Dr. Chen if he needs any help?" Borg said to his assistant.
