At this mont, after listening to Lu Xuan’s words, it suddenly dawned on him, feeling deeply moved.
Huang Beishan looked at Zhang Jingcai and sighed: "Old Zhang, it seems we indeed need to put so effort into acute conditions. Although I have always known that traditional Chinese dicine has had high achievents in acute ailnts from ancient tis to the present, I haven’t seen much of it. Now I’ve seen it twice here with Lu, to be honest, I’m quite touched."
"I have the sa feeling."
Zhang Jingcai nodded and said: "As for Cold Pathogenic Disease, there are actually many records on acute treatnt, but most of the patients who co to us have chronic diseases, and we have almost never encountered acute conditions, so we subconsciously neglected research in this area. Seeing this today, and also the one yesterday, you’re right. In any case, if we want to truly achieve greatness in the field of traditional Chinese dicine, we must learn to deal with acute ailnts and master it."
As the two were speaking, Ye Haishen pondered a mont and said: "Lu, I’ve looked at the prescription, and you just introduced the patient’s condition, but I’m still a bit confused about your use of the dicine."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The prescription mainly uses Rotten Turtle Shell, Dodder Seed, fresh Rehmannia, etc., to nourish yin and subdue yang; using White Poria, Ryunzhi, Northern Schisandra as adjuncts to invigorate the heart and awaken the mind; Dibupi and green wormwood are used to clear the floating heat in the blood; Baked Astragalus, fried White Atractylodes, and Baked Licorice are used to replenish the qi of the middle burner, facilitating communication between the upper and lower, serving as a connection aid.
Astragalus has deep roots in its stalks, the most abundant in ascending and penetrating the whole body, so it is a key herb in Qi Replenishing Soup, to achieve the interaction of kidney yin ascending, heart fire descending, achieving mutual communication.
However, how much effect this prescription can have will only be known after the patient takes the dicine."
"I see, I understand now."
Ye Haishen nodded and continued: "However, Lu, since you dare to prescribe like this, you must have so confidence, right? Although I haven’t known you for long, I have a good eye for people. Just judging by this prescription, you must have at least ninety percent confidence in it."
Seeing that modesty was useless, Lu Xuan could only nod and say: "After taking the dicine a dozen tis, the pulse should no longer be forcefully protruding and gradually turn to a weaker state, with symptoms retreating accordingly."
"Then what is the use of quickly decocting and taking Arican ginseng?"
"Why use Arican ginseng instead of ginseng? When it cos to nourishing Primordial Qi, ginseng is more effective than Arican ginseng!"
Ye Haishen asked again, and this question also caught the attention of Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai. They had considered this question earlier and intended to ask about it. Little did they expect Ye Haishen to ntion it first, allowing the two to reap the benefits, gazing intently at Lu Xuan.
Seeing the three of them staring fixedly at him, Lu Xuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but in the next mont, he recovered his serious deanor and explained: "The reason is actually very simple. Arican ginseng, 9 grams, quickly decocted and taken, is for preventing collapse.
The patient’s vital energy is greatly deficient, and the disease is critical, there is a high possibility of progressing from faint to collapse, from collapse to being beyond rescue, using Arican ginseng is a ’treating symptoms first in urgency’ thod.
Decocting the dicine won’t be in ti, so I can only use this thod to buy ti for the forthcoming treatnt. Otherwise, by the ti I prepare the dicine and administer it, the person would have already passed on, especially since the prescription includes Rotten Turtle Shell, which needs to be simred for a long ti. Even decocting here would require two hours, and his condition cannot wait for two hours.
As for using Arican ginseng instead of ginseng, because the qi-supplenting strength of ginseng, although strong, is more suitable for pure yang deficiency with small pulses; the patient’s condition of yin deficiency with yang excess and large, forceful pulses, using ginseng could risk further boosting the false fire.
Arican ginseng excels in nourishing fluids and specializes in gentle supplentation, which is most effective for this syndro."
At this point, Lu Xuan paused, then continued: "As for this, there are actually many records in the Inner Canon, ’Plain Questions: Fang Shengshuai Lun Chapter’ states: ’Faint from insufficient qi, leading to fanciful dreams; at its extre, confusion.’
’Spiritual Pivot Benshen Chapter’ states: ’Kidney qi deficiency leads to faint.’
’Spiritual Pivot Weiqi Chapter’ states: ’Lower deficiency leads to faint.’
All ntioned in these ancient dical texts indicate that if you see an unexpected loss of consciousness and unrecognition of people, six overflowing pulses, and flaring red cheeks, consider it a stroke, and treat with purgative agents, or attempt to cool the head, seeking to clear and restore consciousness by reducing heat and fire, lowering blood pressure, is bound to be a misdiagnosis.
In the end, it could be due to using the wrong thod, choosing the wrong dicine, and not treating the symptom correctly, resulting in the patient’s demise."
The three exchanged glances.
In the situation at that ti, if not for the three of them being there and discussing it to determine it was qi collapse, otherwise with only one person, it’s really possible it would be mistaken for a stroke. Frankly speaking, in the patient’s condition at that ti, even if sent to the hospital for rescue, Western dicine would likely treat it as a stroke, and the final outco is self-evident.
Incompetent doctors harming people is no joke.
For small ailnts, it might be fine, but for such acute cases, precise diagnosis is really necessary. If the diagnosis is wrong, naturally the wrong dicine is used, leading to no desired effect, resulting in the patient’s death, which is a common occurrence.
This sort of thing is common in both traditional Chinese dicine and Western dicine.
Of course, nowadays, it happens more in Western dicine, after all, such acute conditions are primarily sent to Western dicine for ergency treatnt.
In traditional Chinese dicine, very few have access to such acute conditions.
Saying this, Lu Xuan suddenly smiled slightly and said: "Such conditions usually have precursors, but the patient did not seek dical attention. If my guess is correct, the patient might have researched dical principles and is confident in their own thods, otherwise, they wouldn’t have let it drag on to this extent."
The three were incredibly surprised upon hearing this.
Ye Haishen said: "Lu, what you’re saying sounds like divination, is it true? Can you really tell?"
