Arican ginseng was quickly decocted and administered.
In this regard, the efficiency of the decoction room is still very high, and coupled with the fact that the decoction room uses high-pressure decoction techniques with intense heat, it speeds up the process.
Moreover, unlike so difficult-to-decoct Chinese herbs, Arican ginseng can even just be steeped in hot water for drinking. However, given the patient’s condition, simply steeping it would not extract the necessary potency, so it must be decocted.
In less than fifteen minutes, Gu Huahua hurriedly brought the decocted Arican ginseng over.
"Dr. Lu, here’s the decocted Arican ginseng, as per your instructions, 9 grams quickly decocted."
"Is it cooled down?"
"Almost, it’s warm, should be just right for drinking."
Lu Xuan nodded and looked at the patient’s son: "Give a hand and help your dad sit up so he can drink the dicine."
"Okay, okay."
The young man was not as panicked as at the beginning and followed Lu Xuan’s instructions.
Fortunately, the patient hadn’t passed out, just slightly incoherent, but still able to take the dicine. Otherwise, things would have been much more dangerous. In such cases, relying solely on acupuncture without dication would struggle to restore the patient’s Primordial Qi.
"Dad, drink the dicine."
Although the patient was incoherent, he was fortunately cooperative and drank the dicine rather quickly.
"Dr. Lu, is my dad going to be okay?" the young man asked worriedly after his father finished the dicine.
"Let’s wait a little while."
Lu Xuan wasn’t sure if the Arican ginseng would be effective or buy more ti to administer other dications; the use of Arican ginseng was a critical step, essential for the subsequent treatnt.
Though anxious, the young man could only suppress his worries for now.
After a while, the patient regained consciousness. Looking at himself lying on the ground being supported by his son left him a bit dazed.
"Son, what happened to ?"
"Dad, you just collapsed and beca incoherent. It was Dr. Lu here who saved you."
The patient clearly had so mory of the event. Hearing his son reminded him of falling earlier, though he couldn’t recall what happened afterward. But he trusted his son wouldn’t lie, so he turned to Lu Xuan, expressing gratitude: "Dr. Lu, thank you!"
"It was a small effort."
Lu Xuan gestured dismissively: "You’re not out of danger yet. Go to an empty consultation room and rest on a small bed for a while. I’ll prescribe you sothing, and we’ll have it decocted imdiately in the decoction room. Once you’re out of danger, you can go ho."
After finishing, he looked at the young man: "First, take your dad to the empty consultation room for a rest. Gu Huahua, please look after him. I’ll prepare the prescription for you, and you go pay for it so the decoction room can get started imdiately. I’ll inform them there."
The young man nodded quickly, helping Gu Huahua to escort the sowhat weakened patient to the vacant consultation room to rest.
anwhile, Lu Xuan grabbed the patient’s social security card and went to room 249 to write up the prescription. After notifying the young man to make the paynt and start the decoction, Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai, among others, entered the room.
Huang Beishan imdiately said, "Lu, we’re lucky to have you here; otherwise that old man might not have survived."
"He was lucky not to pass out, just incoherent. Otherwise, even I might not have been able to do much," Lu Xuan shook his head.
After speaking, he seed to have thought of sothing and looked up at the group: "Aren’t you going back to attend to the patients?"
The group exchanged glances, and finally, Huang Beishan spoke: "You know, most of the ailnts we usually deal with are chronic ones requiring dietary and lifestyle adjustnts. We rarely, if ever, encounter life-threatening ergencies like the one just now. This was the first ti seeing such a situation, and until we understand what happened, how do you expect us to focus on other patients?
Moreover, the patients are all talking now, very curious. Lu Xuan, your reputation is spreading among the patient community at the United South Chinese dicine Association.
The situations that Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai could not handle were resolved by Dr. Lu, so I think your appointnts next week might just get fully booked."
"Why don’t we discuss this sowhere after work?"
However, Huang Beishan and the others seed indifferent.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan knew they wouldn’t let it go easily, so he resignedly said, "Alright, I’ll explain."
"Before that, check the prescription first. Feel free to ask any questions anyti; otherwise, it’ll be hard for to cover everything thoroughly."
Huang Beishan and the others quickly passed the prescription around, morizing it before looking at Lu Xuan.
Facing their attention, Lu Xuan showed no pressure; instead, he calmly said: "You saw the patient’s condition just now. In traditional Chinese dicine, it’s categorized as ’Lower Deficiency and Upper Reversal,’ caused by the failure of Yin to guard and Yang to function.
The heart is said to be the ’sovereign of the organs, from which the spirit is expressed.’ But for the heart to express this spirit, it relies on the mutual support of the true water of the kidneys and the fire of the heart, achieving harmony through the balance of water and fire and consequently yin and yang.
If my guess is correct, he must be soone overexerting himself ntally, resulting in insufficient heart fire, losing its mutual support relationship with kidney water, leading to failure of yin to rise and yang to descend, causing such symptoms as flushed cheeks, floating large and forceful pulse, but empty and weak pulse upon deep pressure, cold extremities, and retracted penis forming an empty shell syndro."
The group was thoughtful.
The reason they eagerly ca was due to seeing the patient’s retracted penis, stunned by the sight.
Even after decades of practice, it was the first ti they encountered such a case.
They had heard of it before, but hearing about sothing and witnessing it firsthand creates entirely different levels of impact, leading to their urgent curiosity.
