TCM Gaoyuan

Chapter 191 Licorice
Gao Yuan gently pushed Huang Wending, and said, "Don't be dazed, hurry up and get busy. Most of the people who were poisoned this time were our militia comrades."

"What?" Dean Hu Renhua, who was born in the military, was stunned at that moment, and he immediately asked with a serious expression, "Did the American devils do it? They did it first?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "The specific situation is still unclear."

Li Shengli hurried over and said, "Doctor Gao, Dean, I confirmed it with my old squad leader."

Gao Yuan looked at him.

Hu Renhua asked him: "Did someone poison you? Otherwise, so many people wouldn't fall ill at once."

"No, no." Li Shengli quickly waved his hand, and he said: "It's the militiamen going up to the mountain for training, and the leader is my old squad leader Cao Xinjian. Isn't this going up the mountain? When everyone sees the wild lychees on the mountain, they can't help but pick them." They ate a lot, and some people picked a lot and brought them home for their family members to eat, and they were all poisoned after eating it.”

Hu Renhua was taken aback: "Can lychees be poisoned?"

Li Shengli said: "I don't know, is it undercooked? Or eating too much? Anyway, these people who were poisoned were all because of eating wild lychee, and the family members of these militiamen were also poisoned because they ate this batch of wild lychee."

Gao Yuan nodded, knowing the situation preliminarily. He stepped forward to check and found that the symptoms of these patients were severe vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, which were consistent with food poisoning.

Huang Wending also quickly cleared up his mood. He said: "The treatment of food poisoning is all symptomatic treatment. Gastric lavage is needed as soon as possible. They are vomiting very badly, and they need to be rehydrated in time. At the same time, anticholinergic drugs are used to relieve the pain in the gastrointestinal tract. Smooth muscle, relieves spasms."

"This is the first aid method for food poisoning, but... but so many people fell ill at once, we don't have so many first aid equipment, and the medicine is far from enough. Oh, what should I do? Can the patient be transported to the county in time? where?"

Huang Wending became visibly anxious.

Hu Renhua shook his head: "Where did you get the car?"

Huang Wending asked again: "Then can you quickly ask the county hospital to borrow a batch of medicines and first aid equipment, so that we can treat them conveniently."

But Hu Renhua said: "This time and again, a day is gone, let alone communication and approval."

"This..." Huang Wending was also dumbfounded. It wasn't that he was incompetent, but that he had never fought such a battle of not being rich in his life.

The other medical staff also went out, and now they came back after observing the condition one by one. The patient's condition was very uniform, with vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

"Doctor Gao, what should we do with so many patients?" Zhao Huanzhang was very used to asking Gao Yuan about everything.

Gao Yuan thought for a while, and asked Huang Wending: "Doctor Huang, how many people do you have enough medicine for rehydration?"

Huang Wending said, "Ten at most."

Gao Yuan nodded.

Hu Renhua was also anxious by the scene in front of him. He asked Gao Yuan: "Doctor Gao, can Chinese medicine treat this kind of food poisoning?"

Huang Wending said: "There is no specific medicine to treat food poisoning, only symptomatic treatment. However, as long as these first aid measures are taken in a timely manner, the patient's condition will generally not deteriorate to a serious level."

"However, if the treatment is delayed, it is very likely to become acute renal failure, or even more serious may cause shock. Therefore, we urgently need a large amount of emergency medicine and equipment at this time, and we also need a group of professional doctors who can use these equipment, not Seek Chinese medicine for treatment. I'm sorry, Dr. Gao, I didn't mean to say that."

Gao Yuan shook his head: "It's okay."

Huang Wending frowned tightly, and he said: "You also said before that Chinese medicine cures one person and one disease. This time, two hundred people fell ill. If you don't say anything else, even if you make medicine, you don't have two hundred. It's a pot, and they are suffering from a sudden illness, so they can't delay, right?"

Gao Yuan recalled the previous conversation with Huang Wending at the county hospital. When Huang Wending asked him if Chinese medicine could not cope with a large number of patients, he even responded to the other party with a few words, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously.

Gao Yuan said: "Yes, Chinese medicine focuses on one person's side in treating diseases, and one disease's side, but in some special cases, one side can also treat hundreds of people."

"What special circumstances?" Huang Wending was taken aback.

Gao Yuan looked at him, smiled and said, "Now is a special situation."

Huang Wending and Tian Yuan were startled together.

Gao Yuan turned his head to Gan Jing and said, "Xiao Jing, today I will teach you how to use a traditional Chinese medicine. Go and get a big pot, count the number of people, and cook three catties of licorice in the same big pot Boil for about half an hour, and take the first decoction. The dregs are decocted once more, and the decoction is mixed with the medicinal soup twice, and served warm again."

Gan Jing asked, "Is it enough to just use licorice?"

Gao Yuan nodded: "That's right, raw licorice is good at detoxifying all kinds of poisons, and is good at harmonizing various medicines, so it is called 'the old man of the country'. The world only knows the role of licorice as a supporting role, but few people know that licorice can also treat acute diseases. Critical illness! Go quickly."

"Okay." Gan Jing agreed and ran away quickly.

Huang Wending looked at Gao Yuan dully, and asked, "Are you going to cure these two hundred people with a single Chinese medicine?"

Gao Yuan said: "The situation is urgent and conditions are limited, so we can only do this first. Also, Doctor Huang, I need your help."

"Me?" Huang Wending still hadn't reacted.

Gao Yuan said: "I know you used to fight the rich before, but now you have to get used to fighting the poor like us. We have limited medicines now, so I need you to find those patients with severe dehydration. , give them timely rehydration and corresponding treatment.”

"Okay." Huang Wending agreed, but he was still a little worried. He asked, "Is this really okay?"

Gao Yuan said in relief: "There is a way to fight a poor war, so act quickly. I have entrusted you with the most serious patient, so don't let me down."

Huang Wending was completely stunned, could this be his chance?He looked at Gao Yuan, nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry!"

Huang Wending immediately turned his head and said loudly, "Xiaoyuan, prepare the equipment and medicine quickly."

"Yes!" Tian Yuan also shouted excitedly.

Can't get a group, can't get a few?

The food poisoning came very suddenly this time, and everyone got busy.

Gao Yuan went to check his condition, and for some patients with fever, he ordered to take another 2 fen of Coptis chinensis powder to clear away heat and detoxify.

Everyone got food poisoning because they ate lychees, and the cause was the same, so Gao Yuan was given the chance to cure hundreds of people.But because each person's situation is somewhat different, certain adjustments need to be made. If it is necessary to clear away heat, it should be cleared away, and if it should be replenished, it should be replenished. This is also in line with the principle of TCM.

Everyone has been busy until very late. Those who are relatively healthy and have relatively mild conditions, their gastrointestinal discomfort has disappeared after three hours of taking the medicine, and they are told to go home for recuperation.

In severe cases, observation and treatment are still underway.

The most serious ones have been admitted to the hospital, and Huang Wending is in charge of treating these patients.

Two days later, the most serious inpatients were also discharged.

Although nearly [-] people fell ill this time, fortunately nothing went wrong, and all patients were cured and discharged from the hospital.

In the setting sun, Huang Wending sat in the sun and smiled.

Gao Yuan asked him, "Very happy?"

Huang Wending nodded with a smile, and said: "It's strange to say that it's just cured a few patients with food poisoning, and it's not a serious illness. But why do I think it's worse than the real difficult and serious illnesses I cured in the provincial hospital before?" To be happy, but also to be satisfied?"

Gao Yuan looked at him and said to him: "This is the meaning of supporting in the most difficult countryside. In the most difficult places, with the most primitive conditions, to protect the lives and health of the poorest people, this sense of accomplishment is nothing compared to Up."

Huang Wending looked at Gao Yuan, savored it for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Are you kidding me again?"

Gao Yuan hesitated, then laughed, and then he took out a cornbread from his pocket and asked, "Are you hungry? Have a cornbread?"

Huang Wending took it and took a hard bite.
