Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1348 The Significance of Collective Commendation: Conditions Met, Preparations Underway to Begin Tumor Treatment (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

The Ministry of Health fully affirmed Fang Yan's timely handling and reporting of the health incident.

The rewards were also generous.

Everyone initially thought that encountering such a situation during a free clinic was rather unlucky.

Anyone who is confined to one place for several days and constantly worries about getting infected will not be in a good mood.

However, upon their return, they received a pleasant surprise from above.

Now everyone is happy.

Although it's a collective award, it will be recorded in your personal file.

In today's era, collective awards recorded in personal files are highly significant and valued honors, far exceeding the value of "paper honors." They are directly and deeply linked to an individual's career development, social identity recognition, and even life circumstances.

It is the core credential for determining an individual's "political integrity," "work ability," and "social recognition."

For medical workers, having collective awards recorded in their files is not just "icing on the cake," but rather an "accelerator" for career development, a "reassurance" for their social identity, and an "official certification" of their personal value.

Moreover, not only Fang Yan and his class, but also Lao Hu from the factory who provided the supplies, as well as Lao Cui and his group from An Dong, and even the drivers, were all commended.

This incident fully demonstrates the truth of the saying "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

With National Day just around the corner, receiving such an award is a great honor. Sending a telegram home about it would be so impressive!

Some locals who are still able to see their families have long wanted to go back and share the good news.

I'm even happier than if I had passed the postgraduate entrance exam.

After all, postgraduate entrance exams require personal effort, while this was more of a fluke.

……

He and An Dong picked up Lu Donghua at Xiyuan Hospital. He had already informed the hospital. Fang Yan then went to the hospital and spoke with the vice president, Ren Yingqiu.

The process went quite smoothly, and now Fang Yan feels that he has connections everywhere, making it very convenient to get things done.

After picking up his master, Fang Yan led his men back to his own courtyard house.

When they arrived home, Lao Hu had already brought Huang Huijie back.

Huang Huijie's condition is quite stable right now. The National Day holiday is in two days, and many patients will be coming then. The inpatient department will definitely be crowded, so it's more convenient for her to come back and stay.

Fang Yan had no objections, of course. After returning home, she greeted them first, and then took her master to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to complete the onboarding process.

The main reason is that the old man himself can't stay idle. He said he would come and hold a consultation, so he definitely will.

Fangyan could only satisfy his request, so they took him to the consultation room upstairs.

Now, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has resident TCM doctors who see patients every day; they are the same five people who were recruited last time.

Zhu Zhixin, Deng Chunyan, Guo Xiaomei, Lin Hongjun, and Zou Guoqing. Also on duty here are members of the original dialect class who take turns providing consultations; today, Lei Lian and Zhu Lina are the two girls on duty.

Fortunately, there weren't many people from Fang Yan's original class, so the quarantine period didn't affect his clinic hours here.

Therefore, there are currently seven doctors working here on a daily basis.

Today, Fang Yan arranged for her master, Lu Donghua, to sit next to her clinic, bringing the total number of people to eight.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is now managed by the local dialect group, and they don't need to inform anyone else.

After joining the company, Fang Yan asked An Dong to accompany Master Lu Donghua, and then he went to the inpatient department to check on Mr. Sima's condition. If his feet were now at a normal temperature, Fang Yan planned to administer the tumor treatment medication to him today.

After all, the longer this is delayed, the more dangerous it becomes; early treatment leads to a faster recovery.

We arrived at Mr. Sima's hospital room, where his family was still keeping vigil.

Fang Yan felt that this family was really interesting; it was as if the whole family had come back and they had given up their business.

Upon seeing Fang Yan arrive, the patient's wife asked him:

"Dr. Fang, what's wrong?"

I just had a follow-up appointment this morning and drank a bowl of medicine. Now that Fang Yan is here again, they're getting nervous again.

"Come and take a look. If the conditions are suitable, I plan to give Mr. Sima the medicine to treat his tumor," Fang Yan replied.

"Medication for treating tumors?" Mr. Sima's wife's eyes lit up. She quickly stepped aside to make room, her voice filled with urgency. "Does that mean the lump on his neck can start to disappear?" As she spoke, she unconsciously touched the lump on the side of Mr. Sima's neck. When her fingertips touched the hard, iron-like protrusion, her tone became even more apprehensive. "Dr. Fang, is this medicine... too strong? He just recovered a little this morning. What if he can't handle it?"

Other family members in the ward also gathered around, and a few even quietly moved closer, clearly all listening intently.

Mr. Sima lay on the hospital bed, his eyes, which had been half-closed, opened slightly. His cloudy gaze fell on Fang Yan. Although he didn't speak, it was clear that he was also waiting for an answer.

Fang Yan first bent down to take Sima's pulse. The pulse under his fingertips was more stable than in the morning. It was no longer the weak and slippery pulse. When pressed down, a weak but solid pulsation could be felt. This was a sign that the Yin Huo Tang was taking effect. The kidney yin was gradually replenished and the deficiency fire was slightly subdued. Finally, he had the foundation to withstand the medicine.

He then lifted the blanket to look at Mr. Sima's feet. The soles of his feet, which had been as cold as stones, were now warm to the touch, and even the skin around his knees was no longer cold.

"Don't worry, I definitely checked his pulse before administering the medicine, and his constitution is strong enough to handle it now." Fang Yan straightened up and explained to everyone, "The soup that 'invigorated the fire' this morning was to replenish his depleted kidney yin and pull down the rising internal heat. You see, his feet aren't cold anymore, and he speaks more fluently. His body is just 'saving up' energy, waiting for the next dose of medicine."

He paused, then pointed to the lump on Mr. Sima's neck, trying to explain: "This 'stone goiter' is a hard lump formed by phlegm and blood stasis over five years. It certainly can't be eliminated by just tonifying. It needs to be 'dissolved' with medicine that softens and disperses nodules. But I won't use strong medicine to attack it head-on. I will add ginseng and schisandra to the prescription to tonify qi and astringe the body. It's like putting a shield behind the soldiers attacking the city. It can both dissolve the lump and protect their vital energy so that they won't be unable to withstand it."

Everyone was somewhat bewildered. Mr. Sima's son frowned and said, "Director Fang, we've used targeted drugs abroad before. My father suffered a lot, with rashes and vomiting after taking that drug. Will your drug... cause similar reactions?"

“It’s different.” Fang Yan shook his head, his tone firm. “Targeted drugs are like ‘killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own,’ killing both good and bad cells; my prescription is ‘treatment based on syndrome differentiation,’ specifically targeting phlegm, blood stasis, and toxins. Of course, at the beginning of treatment, there may be some weakness and poor appetite. That’s the medicine fighting against the pathogenic factors in the body, which is a normal reaction. If there is any discomfort, we will adjust the prescription at any time and will not let him suffer.”

"Moreover, I have already adjusted the prescription." Fang Yan added, "In the original prescription, seaweed and kelp softened and dispersed nodules, and I added raw coix seed to remove dampness, which is just right to deal with the lipomas on his body; Scrophularia and Ophiopogon japonicus nourish yin and can relieve dry mouth; most importantly, I added white ginseng that was stewed separately, which has a strong qi-tonifying effect and is not drying, specifically to support his constitution."

Seeing that Fang Yan explained things in detail and clearly, the patient's wife turned to look at her husband. When she saw Mr. Sima nod slightly at her, she gritted her teeth and said, "Dr. Fang, we trust you! We'll cooperate with whatever treatment you say!"
