Chapter 5 Epilepsy
After eating, Lin Kai remembered the job search. So he simply ignored the dormitory and went directly to the south of the city to take a look. If he felt it was OK, he might as well do it first.
Zhenfeng Clinic is a traditional Chinese medicine hall. The clinic is not big, but it can be seen that there is a bit of history. There are only two people working, one is an old man and the other girl. In fact, they are the relationship between grandfather and granddaughter. The girl is still studying, so she only helps grandfather with chores when she comes back to have lunch.
When Lin Kai entered, the old man was prescribing medicine for the old lady Yisheng. In this kind of Chinese medicine clinic, the patients they cared for were basically older people. They were used to using Chinese medicine, which prevented traditional Chinese medicine from being killed by Western medicine.
The pretty girl mistakenly thought Lin Kai came in to see the doctor and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Brother, please wait a moment and have a glass of water!"
"Okay, it's okay." Lin Kai looked at the environment inside.
I saw a tall medicine cabinet twice against the wall, with dense drawers covered with the names of various Chinese medicines. There was a small counter on the front, with an abacus and a hand pillow. In the corner was a fat lazy cat, dozing off lazily.
After the old lady left, the old man asked, "Brother, where is it uncomfortable?" He was a little surprised. This young man looked good! He didn't look like a sick person, and young people generally don't like to come to a clinic like theirs. The old Chinese doctor knew that they could not trust Chinese doctors.
Lin Kai shook his head: "I'm not a doctor, aren't you recruiting at your door? I'm here to apply for the job, a junior student from Linjiang Medical University, please see if it's appropriate?"
The old Chinese doctor looked at Lin Kai seriously and had a good first impression. He felt that this young man was quite calm and suitable for Chinese medicine. However, what he wanted was an intern, that is, he could go to work every day. The young man in front of him should have many classes in his junior year, and he was just looking for a part-time job, which was a bit unsuitable.
"Haha! The young man has a lot of courses in his junior year, right? This is not guaranteed to work! Otherwise, it will definitely be suitable. My job is not a difficult job, it has no technical content, and he usually does chores or something." The old Chinese doctor refused in disguise.
Why couldn't Lin Kai hear it? So he stood up and nodded: "That's disturbing."
Just as they were about to step out of the door, two men outside hurriedly came in with another thin man. The thin man seemed a little confused, with white foam remaining on the corners of his mouth. There were several people following behind, including men and women, with a sad look.
"Give it, let it go."
Lin Kai quickly went aside and asked them to come in. He roughly guessed that the man had epilepsy, which is what medically called epilepsy, was a mental brain disease.
In severe epilepsy, there will be sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonicity and then clonic spasm, often accompanied by screaming, purple complexion, urinary incontinence, tongue biting, foaming or blood foaming on the mouth, dilated pupils, and dilated, and after tens of seconds or minutes, the spasm seizure will naturally stop and enter a drowsy state. After waking up, there will be a short period of dizziness, irritability, fatigue, and cannot recall the attack process. If the attack continues and is in a coma, those who are in a state of coma are called a state of continuous attack, which is often life-threatening.
"Hmm? Epilepsy? Hurry up." The old Chinese doctor could see the symptoms at a glance, and was slightly surprised. He decided that this was a patient with severe epilepsy, and it was a sudden person. This kind of person is quite dangerous.
The two men did not doubt that he was, and quickly did as they did. The woman behind them cried and asked the old Chinese doctor to save her husband. The old Chinese doctor's beautiful granddaughter comforted the family and waited with peace of mind and kept quiet.
As soon as he helped him over, the man's epilepsy had another seizure, his pupils dilated, his face turned pale, and his whole body was stiff and shaking.
"Press him!" The old Chinese doctor shouted loudly, quickly started to massage the man's forehead.
Lin Kai's eyes narrowed and he looked at the old Chinese doctor's massage technique. He had seen a related introduction in an ancient medical book. It was very difficult and needed to move with the acupuncture points of the human body, which had magical effects. Seeing this, Lin Kai forgot to leave.
With the massage of the old Chinese doctor, the man slowly relaxed and his face looked much better. The people who followed him breathed a sigh of relief. They were all from nearby people and they still trusted the skills of this old Chinese doctor.
When the old Chinese doctor saw that the patient was getting better, he slowed down his movements and softened his strength. After the massage, he let go and prepared to learn more about the situation so that the patient could prescribe the right medicine. When he looked up at his family, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Kai who had not left. He saw him as if he had entered a meditation and his fingers danced slightly.
Seeing this scene, the old Chinese doctor was slightly shocked. The movement of the young man's finger was exactly the massage technique he had just made. Although he was still unfamiliar and seemed to be unable to remember the latter part, it was rare for people who could steal the teacher by reading it once and even those who were in their decades old Chinese doctors.
"Have he had such a medical record before? What were the symptoms of the first attack? Compare this time. How did he eat before? Are he in normal mental state?" The old Chinese doctor asked several questions in a row.
The family members answered in a verbal manner, recalling carefully, for fear of missing a trace.
"Well! That's it. He's fine for the time being. I'll prescribe him a few medicines later. You can go back and decoct him as required." The old Chinese doctor continued to write a medicine list and then skillfully caught the medicine.
Catch the Gastrodia elata and tangerine peel into one dose, 10 grams each, and told the family members: "Cook the Gastrodia elata and tangerine peel and rice together, add sugar and mix well, divide it twice, and take it every day."
In addition, 1.5 grams of alum and 12 olives. Wash the olives, cut several longitudinal lines with a blade, then add the powder of alum into the lines. After the alum is soaked in the olives, eat 1-2 pieces per hour, chew carefully, and swallow the juice and spit it.
Also, based on the man's complexion, it was inferred that he had insufficient qi and blood. The old Chinese doctor gave raw ginseng, 10 grams of orange peel each, and an appropriate amount of white sugar. Ginseng and orange peel were decocted first, remove the residue and take the juice, add sugar, and drink it instead of tea.
"From the future, stew the wolfberry to him from time to time to eat it, which will help prevent repeated attacks." The old Chinese doctor said.
The family members hurriedly replied: "Okay, OK! How much does this cost in total?"
The old Chinese doctor knocked on the abacus a few times and asked them to give them more than 200 yuan. The main reason is Gastrodia elata. If you go to the hospital, you will first get it into the intensive ward for a few days, then take a bunch of films, and finally prescribe a bunch of drugs that cannot be eaten without thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.
As long as traditional Chinese medicine does not involve expensive traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally quite cheap, which is also the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine. However, traditional Chinese medicine is slow to achieve results, which seriously hinders the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Seeing the patient leaving, Lin Kai couldn't stop any longer. As soon as he was about to step out of the door, the old Chinese doctor's voice came from behind: "Young man, please stay!"
