Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 877 Secret Clinic at Yanlou: A High-Profile Patient from Macau (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets: 3K Chapters)

Upon hearing the question about dialect, the dean lowered his voice:

"There's a patient who was brought by his family last night. He's not mentally stable, so it's not appropriate to bring him here."

"Moreover, my identity is quite sensitive, and I don't really want to be seen."

"Oh?" Fang Yan looked at him with curiosity.

They came back last night, and now they're arranging treatment for them today, and they have to keep it a secret?
Who is this?

"Is he an overseas Chinese businessman?" Fang Yan asked.

The dean thought for a moment and nodded:
"It is."

The dialect is both funny and exasperating; what does "consider" even mean?

Seeing Fang Yan's puzzled expression, the dean whispered three words:

"From Haojiang."

Fang Yan was taken aback, and several names popped into her mind.

he asked:
"So that means... we'll only be watching this one today?"

The dean shook his head and said:
"No, other people are watching over there too."

He asked in dialect:

"Besides the one who's mentally unstable, how many others are there?"

“Three,” the dean said.

He said in dialect:

"That means there are still four patients today."

“That’s right.” The dean nodded.

He asked in dialect:

"What about the arrangements for hospitalization and medication?"

The dean said:

"We've sent a car to wait outside. Anyone who needs to be hospitalized can just have the car brought over."

After saying that, he also reminded:
"Except for the one who is mentally unstable."

"Understood." Fang Yan nodded. If it's to be kept secret, then it must be kept secret to the end.

Fang Yan then pointed to Professor Ren Yingqiu and the others behind him:
"Can the rest of them go over?"

Only then did the dean notice the person behind the dialect.

"Oh, Lao Ren!" The dean was taken aback and quickly greeted him.

Professor Ren also greeted the dean:

"Old Dong."

The dean said:

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you just now."

After saying this, he spoke in dialect:

"Since it's him, you can all go together. Just remember to keep it a secret."

Professor Ren is quite famous in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and since they knew each other, the dean quickly agreed.

Fang Yan nodded:
"it is good."

The dean said to Fang Yan:

"Then you can go check the rooms first, and I'll be there in a bit."

"I'll organize a team right now, including a medical group, and bring everything we need."

"You even brought a medical team?" Fang Yan asked in surprise.

Logically, the fewer people involved in maintaining secrecy, the better. What's the point of setting up a medical team directly?
The dean said:

"Doesn't this show that we value it?"

"Just wait downstairs and show it to them."

"..." Fang Yan was speechless. He had learned something new today.

Next, Fang Yan led the others on rounds, and also got to know many of the hospitalized patients.

The patients here are a bit special. Most of the people in the class have heard of the medical cases, except for the four new patients who were admitted yesterday, and they are more curious about them.

The first one is Li Zheng, whose name is only one character different from the deputy squad leader. He has a 14-year history of depression. After his divorce, he experienced confusion, disorientation, and sometimes mistakenly believed that he was still in Hong Kong when he was conscious. He also experienced flashbacks of environmental disorientation, photophobia, compulsive repetitive speech, insomnia, irritability, headaches, and self-harm tendencies.

The tongue coating is thick and yellow, and the pulse is wiry, slippery, and rapid.

The Western medical diagnosis was schizophrenia, while the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis was liver qi stagnation, phlegm-fire accumulation, and heart blood malnourishment.

The dialect uses the Thirteen Ghost Needles to puncture the three acupoints of Renzhong, Shaoshang, and Yinbai to clear phlegm and fire, combined with Chinese herbs such as Ziziphus jujuba seed, Gardenia, and Cyperus rotundus to regulate qi and calm the mind.

After treatment, he is currently conscious, his photophobia has subsided, his appetite has returned, and his mental state has improved. He slept through the night last night, and this morning he was already communicating normally with his first love, Sun Menghong.

The second patient, Hu Pengyuan, has hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism caused by excessive radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism presents with generalized edema, apathy, dry skin, cold limbs, dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue, and poor appetite. The tongue is pale with a thin white coating, and the pulse is slow, weak, short, and hesitant. Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis indicates Yang deficiency with water retention and malnourishment of Qi and blood.

After treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, including herbs such as aconite, cinnamon twig, and astragalus to warm the Yang and promote diuresis, combined with hot porridge to enhance the efficacy of the medicine, the patient has shown improvement in urination frequency, edema reduction, and body temperature recovery, according to recorded observations.

After taking the pulse, Fang Yan slightly adjusted the prescription.

The third patient, Gao Mei, experienced a recurrence of epilepsy and suffered a fracture.

She has a long history of epilepsy, which recurred after childbirth. She experiences seizures around her menstrual period, accompanied by headaches, vomiting, insomnia, and nightmares. Her tongue is swollen with a thin, greasy coating, and her pulse is thready and slippery. Western medicine diagnosed her with epilepsy, while Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosed it as liver blood deficiency with wind-phlegm disturbing the upper body, and heart-kidney disharmony. She requires a wheelchair due to a fracture sustained in a fall.

After dialectal treatment, the original epilepsy prescription was adjusted by removing cinnabar and adding astragalus and angelica to replenish qi and blood. It was also combined with amber and ginseng powder taken orally, and bone-setting plaster was applied externally to treat fractures.
Currently, hospitalization is still required to monitor menstrual symptoms.

The last patient, Zhang Shenfeng, suffered from postoperative complications of heart disease.

He suffered from heart failure and cirrhosis after mitral valve surgery due to rheumatic heart disease, presenting with palpitations, abdominal distension and flank pain, lower extremity edema, and oliguria. The absence of a pulse in his right hand was due to radial artery ligation. His tongue was dark red with a thin yellow coating, and his pulse was thready and slow.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the condition is due to deficiency of heart and kidney yang, and stagnation of water and blood.

The treatment involved using Zhenwu Decoction combined with Tingli Dazao Xiefei Decoction to warm the Yang and promote diuresis, along with acupuncture techniques taught by Professor Wang Yuchuan, such as needling Pianli, Waiguan, Taichong, and Yongquan to regulate Qi and blood.

Currently, urination, edema, and circulation in the right hand have all improved.

Professor Ren Yingqiu is well-versed in various schools of thought. After seeing these treatment methods using dialects, he realized that they were indeed a younger version of himself.

Even his apprentices, whom he personally trained, are more like him in their methods.

Of course, this method refers to a variety of styles, not the use of similar formulas.

Cheng Baogui, Xiao Chengzhi, and Wang Zhijun, on the other hand, were looking at the approach to treating these illnesses using dialects.

Most people have habitual thinking patterns and tend to use one or two similar approaches when dealing with problems. However, Fang Yan's approach is different; the four patients' thinking is like that of four doctors. Moreover, Zhang Shen's problem requires a deep understanding of Western heart surgery to solve the mystery. If it were them, they would not only be completely stumped, but it would definitely take them longer than Fang Yan's approach.

After the room check was completed, Fang Yan led them downstairs.

Two brand-new ambulances donated by Lao Hu are already waiting at the entrance.

Fang Yan originally wanted to take a car up, but the dean told him to drive himself.

The dialect makes sense when you think about it.

However, the Mercedes can only seat four more people.

While he was still hesitating, Meng Jimin and the other three had already squeezed into the back row.

The Mercedes was wide enough that all four of them squeezed into the back seat.

"Then please sit in the passenger seat, Mr. Ren," Fang Yan said, opening the car door and inviting Mr. Ren to sit in the passenger seat.

Mr. Ren said with a smile:

"That's great, I'll ride in your new car too."

Once everyone was on the bus, Fang Yan led the way, with two ambulances following behind, heading directly towards the nearby Yanjing Hotel.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Fang Yan found that Director Liao and leaders from the Ministry of Health were already waiting for them.

As soon as they got out of the car, Director Liao and the others came over and said to Fang Yan:

"Do you know everything?"

"Mm." Fang Yan nodded.

Director Liao said:
"First, go treat the people who arrived last night. They are in the new east wing of Building A. After that, go to the west wing of Building C. Someone will guide you along the way."

"Okay." Fang Yan nodded.

As a newly expanded building in 1974, Tower A has a more diversified functional layout, with more guest rooms, meeting rooms and public event spaces, capable of accommodating a large number of guests at the same time and adapting to the hosting of large-scale international conferences and events.

Building C, a national-level hotel used for daily reception of foreign dignitaries and hosting large banquets, reflects high standards and quality in its architectural design and interior decoration, and undertakes important foreign affairs reception tasks.

The accommodations for the overseas Chinese were all in Building C.

It was obvious that they deliberately avoided being in Building A for the sake of secrecy.

“Be serious. This family is similar to the Huo and Situ families. They’ve come back with great sincerity.” The leader from the Ministry of Health also said to Fang Yan.

They know what "sincerity" means in dialects.

He nodded immediately.

"Let's go," Director Liao said, pointing to the new east building of Block A.

At this moment, a waitress made an inviting gesture and quickly led them toward the new east wing of Building A.

Ren Yingqiu followed Fang Yan and nodded to Director Liao and the leaders from the Ministry of Health.

Seeing this, Meng Jimin, Xiao Chengzhi, Cheng Baogui, and Wang Zhijun were quite alarmed and silently followed Fang Yan.

"Where's the first-aid kit?" Fang Yan asked at this moment.

“It’s been prepared by the higher-ups,” Director Liao said.

Fang Yan nodded and continued walking towards the new east building of Block A.

The group entered the lobby of the new East Building and then took the elevator, led by a female attendant.

Inside the elevator, you can also see information about the new East Building of Block A. It has 20 floors above ground and 3 floors underground. It was built in 1974 and has a building area of ​​approximately 8.9 square meters. The main building is nearly 80 meters high and has a plan shaped like the Chinese character "山" (mountain). The overall shape is symmetrical and it is currently the tallest building in the capital.

With nearly a thousand guest rooms of various types to meet the needs of different guests, it also has meeting halls of different sizes equipped with advanced communication systems, which can be used to hold various meetings, events and banquets.

There are also restaurants, bars and other food and beverage establishments that provide food and beverage services for guests and visitors.

This restaurant offers Huaiyang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Tan family cuisine, Western cuisine, and Japanese cuisine.

It doesn't seem like a product of this era at all.

It looks like something from decades in the future.

They went straight up to the 16th floor.

The group following the dialect were somewhat shocked. Everyone knew that, in order to ensure the safety of the nearby ZN sea, the rooms above the 10th floor of the hotel's new east building were not open to the public.

Ordinary people can only go up to the 9th floor.

Being able to live on the 16th floor clearly indicates someone of unusual status.

When Fang Yan and the others arrived at the sixteenth floor with the crowd.

As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw staff members waiting for me.

"Dr. Fang, right?"

He nodded in dialect.

"This way, please!" The waiter gestured for them to enter.

The female elevator operator who opened the elevator just closed the door, opened the elevator, and left.

Everyone felt as if they had entered a place with a very high level of secrecy.

They followed the waiter to the door of a room.

Before them stood a large double door, a rarity in hotels. The handles were made of exquisite metal, meticulously polished, and gleamed with a subtle yet luxurious sheen.

"Knock knock!" The waiter knocked on the door.

He said into it:

"Dr. Fang has arrived."

"Please come in!" a male voice replied from inside.

The waiter opened the door and gestured for Fang Yan and the others to come in.

As soon as everyone entered the room, the first thing that caught their eye was the spacious and bright space. The floor was covered with high-end carpets with exquisite patterns and soft colors. Stepping on the carpets felt soft and comfortable, as if walking on clouds.

The furniture in the room is all made of the finest wood and meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, making each piece a work of art.

Unlike typical rooms where you see the bed as soon as you enter, this is a main hall.

Upon seeing the dialect, a middle-aged man immediately hurried over.

Grasping Fang Yan's hand, she said to him warmly:

"Dr. Fang! Hello! Hello! I've heard so much about you!"

P.S.: I still owe you 38000 words after finishing this chapter.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow.

Lao Feng is working hard to write tomorrow's code.
