Chapter 182 Modern Medicine Declares Death, Traditional Chinese Medicine Revives the Dead, A Fake Meets the Real Deal?!

"?"

"??"

"What the heck?"

"My God! Two and a half years!!"

"Girl, what were you thinking? How could you eat that stuff for two and a half years?!"

"Fine! I told you not to question Dr. Zhang so easily, and look what you've done, you've slapped yourself in the face!!"

"A guy just said that after reading Zhang the Veterinarian's Culture article, his blood pressure went up to 280 and he wanted to punch someone. My blood pressure is up to 280 now too! But punching someone is illegal!!!"

Blasted.

The entire live stream chat exploded!!

My medical school friends jumped up in surprise!!
"Huh? Why? Is there a problem with taking Niuhuang Jiedu Pills?"

"I need help from the experts! I'm completely baffled. Could this poisoning be caused by taking Niuhuang Jiedu Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine)?"

"+1, I'm a newbie here and don't know much about professional medical knowledge."

The comments in the live stream instantly turned one-sided.

Many viewers expressed their confusion.

After all, I've never heard of Niuhuang Jiedu Wan causing poisoning.

"Lying Down, Little TCM Doctor: Now I understand why Veterinarian Zhang said there was no need to call the police. The instructions for Niuhuang Jiedu Pills clearly state in large characters on the first line that it contains realgar and should not be used long-term. Realgar is also a common source of arsenic poisoning. Its main component is tetraarsenic tetrasulfide, which can be oxidized at high temperatures into highly toxic arsenic trioxide, also known as arsenic. This lady's poisoning symptoms are very similar to those caused by ingesting arsenic. Therefore, the conclusion is that the person's long-term use of Niuhuang Jiedu Pills led to the accumulation of trace amounts of arsenic, causing the poisoning entirely due to her own actions!"

That young TCM doctor who was lying down finally understood the logic.

In daily life, most cases of acute arsenic poisoning are caused by accidental ingestion of arsenic trioxide.

The other person's physical and internal symptoms were very similar to those of arsenic poisoning.

He suspected that the other person had ingested arsenic, which had accumulated over time.

But it's impossible for someone who has been consuming arsenic for a long time not to know.

In addition, eating with children.

Children will definitely show symptoms earlier than adults.

So it's Niuhuang Jiedu Wan (牛黄解毒丸).

Now it all makes sense!

Therefore, studying medicine also requires strong logical thinking skills.

Veterinarian Zhang probably guessed early on that the other person's problem was caused by medication poisoning, which is why he asked about constipation.

"So that's how it is!"

"Sigh, every medicine has some side effects. You need to pay more attention to how to avoid getting overheated, just like a top doctor treats illness before it occurs. No one takes medicine all the time. Drink more water, don't stay up late, make sure you get enough sleep, and eat less food that causes internal heat."

"Just like my parents, they think every illness is caused by 'internal heat,' like liver fire or lung fire. Treating illness is all about clearing away that 'heat'!"

"To be able to eat like that for two and a half years straight is truly amazing!"

"This must be what the ancients meant by chronic poisoning!"

"Once in my first year of high school, I had a cold and fever and was prescribed Niuhuang Jiedu tablets. After taking them, I felt pain all over my body. My mom also gave me some medicine that included this one, saying that it was safe for kids to take. But after taking it, I still felt pain all over my body and was in extreme pain. When I looked at the ingredients, I thought it was mild arsenic poisoning."

"I apologize for my rudeness just now. From now on, I'm a die-hard fan of Dr. Zhang! And this lady is amazing too. She had constipation and didn't see a doctor; she just took medicine for two and a half years!!"

……

There were no more voices criticizing Zhang the veterinarian in the live stream.

All that's left is speechlessness regarding this Ms. Tang.

After all, you take one medicine without consulting a doctor and silently take it for two years.

Such people are truly rare.

"Huh? Veterinarian Zhang! You're saying I got poisoned from taking Niuhuang Jiedu Pills? But how is that possible! Can Niuhuang Jiedu Pills cause poisoning with long-term use?"

on site.

Zhang Lingchuan has already explained the cause of the poisoning.

But Ms. Tang found it unbelievable.

She thought that Niuhuang Jiedu Pills were like drinking herbal tea, beneficial to health, and shouldn't cause her poisoning!
"Yes, Ms. Tang, the instructions for Niuhuang Jiedu Pills clearly state that they cannot be taken for a long time. To put it simply, long-term use is equivalent to taking arsenic, and your case is a typical case of arsenic poisoning... Go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. Tell them you suspect arsenic poisoning, and then they will arrange tests for you."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded.

[Patient's name: Tang Xiao]

[Patient's gender: Female.]

[Patient's age: 32 years old.]

[Patient's condition: The skin all over the body is dark, especially the palms and soles, which are dark, rough, and have a snake-like pattern. Symptoms include fever, abdominal distension, general weakness, irregular menstruation, numbness in the hands and feet, and poor appetite. There is also multi-system damage, including endocrine dysfunction, abnormal liver function, ascites, and peripheral neuropathy.]

Patient diagnosis: Arsenic poisoning.

[System notification: This patient has been taking Niuhuang Jiedu tablets for a long period after becoming pregnant, continuously for two and a half years. As the saying goes, discussing toxicity without considering dosage is irresponsible. Niuhuang Jiedu tablets contain realgar, which is unsuitable for long-term use. Her long-term use has resulted in a buildup of toxic substances in her body, leading to chronic poisoning that has affected her nervous, digestive, circulatory, and even urinary systems, accompanied by damage to multiple organs and blackening of the intestines. Please immediately recommend that she be examined at a qualified large hospital.]

This is the result of his scan.

That's pretty bizarre.

It wasn't that someone else poisoned him; he developed chronic poisoning from the food he ate.

This lady is truly remarkable.

"This... okay, okay, I'll go check it out, but, but Dr. Zhang, our dog..."

After being told this, Ms. Tang Xiao became a little flustered.

I want to go to the hospital for a checkup.

At the same time, she felt guilty for having just slightly doubted her husband.

No wonder they wouldn't let me call the police.

So the problem was with myself!

"Ms. Tang, go to the hospital first. The dog can stay here for observation and you can pick it up tonight."

It's a pet clinic.

Although it's not as good as a pet hospital with a dedicated inpatient area for dogs, it certainly still has a place for pets to stay.

So it's fine for the other party to go pick it up at night.

"Okay, thank you so much, Dr. Zhang. I'll prepay the fee."

Ms. Tang Xiao began to speak.

Immediately afterwards, I went to Old Song's place to pay the fee.

"What kind of situation is this...?"

"You bet we thought it was a criminal case."

People were talking quietly in the clinic.

The girl with the yellow hair hugged the cat a little tighter.

Embarrassed.

She was so resolute just now.

So it turns out it was caused by the medication I took.

Although Dr. Zhang said it was highly probable and that a hospital examination would be necessary, his statement that it was highly probable was essentially confirmed.

"Alright, that concludes our assistance to Ms. Tang. But I must say, this lady is incredibly persistent. Many people can't even stick to taking medication when asked, yet this lady has managed to take it for two years straight."

"But all medicines have some degree of toxicity, so they absolutely cannot be taken long-term. You must also follow your doctor's advice before taking any medicine. If you have constipation, eating some dragon fruit, prunes, or snow lotus fruit can be very effective. If it's more serious, you can try lactulose oral solution. Qingre Jiedu tablets don't actually directly treat the symptoms!"

In front of the camera.

Zhang Lingchuan summarized the case he had just discussed.

"Yes, you must take medication as prescribed by your doctor. Overdosing on either Chinese or Western medicine can be fatal."

"As a student of traditional Chinese medicine, detoxification refers to clearing heat toxins. Constipation is not necessarily caused by heat deficiency. All medicines have some degree of toxicity. Even over-the-counter medications should be taken with a doctor's advice."

"Yes, there are many types of constipation, such as heat constipation, cold constipation, and constipation due to qi deficiency... It is essential to use medication based on the specific symptoms. Niuhuang Jiedu tablets, Sanhuang tablets, and Vitamin C Yinqiao tablets are all cold-natured medicines. People who think they have constipation due to heat and then experience diarrhea after taking them do so because they are cold enough to damage the spleen and stomach. However, this is a case of using poison to fight poison, which is not the right treatment and will only harm the body more the more you take it."

"Niuhuang Jiedu tablets are a powerful medicine for clearing heat. They're effective for blisters on the lips and tongue, and wisdom tooth pain; one tablet provides immediate relief. But you can't take them regularly; I usually don't dare take them for more than two days. There are even people who have been taking them for two and a half years..."

"Zhang the veterinarian, did you already guess this, which is why you didn't let everyone call the police?"

"I told you to let things play out for a while, but you just wouldn't believe me. How could Veterinarian Zhang talk nonsense?"

"The main problem is that this sounds too much like a husband killing his wife for insurance money. The more you listen to it, the more outrageous it seems. It's clear that the higher-ups didn't think it through carefully."

……

Some people agree with Zhang Lingchuan's statement.

Some studies directly analyze the types of constipation.

Some even asked Zhang Lingchuan if he had guessed early on that the other party had been poisoned by arsenic and might have taken Niuhuang Jiedu Pills.

of course.

Regarding this topic.

Zhang Lingchuan did not answer.

After all, what's past is past.

He is now receiving the next cat that needs surgery.

"Veterinarian Zhang, our British Shorthair also needs to be spayed/neutered."

The one speaking was the blonde girl.

The woman placed the cat in front of Zhang Lingchuan, her face slightly flushed, inwardly apologizing profusely for misunderstanding the veterinarian.

She thought the other party had warped values ​​and was protecting the poisoner.

Who would have thought that the woman ate it herself?

"Another sterilization. Looks like we'll have to change the name of the clinic to 'cleaning room' this spring."

Zhang Lingchuan had no idea what the other person was thinking, so he immediately started teasing him in a half-joking manner.

However, he was not opposed to sterilization.

After all, spaying/neutering a cat costs 299 yuan, while neutering a dog costs 399 yuan.

And if you really want to, you can do hundreds of these surgeries a day!
That's right, it's egg surgery. If he's fast, he can do hundreds a day.

That would mean earning twenty or thirty thousand.

So he accepts all comers.

The surgery is complete.

"Veterinarian Zhang, do you think I'm... I don't think I'm sick, right?"

The cat was still unconscious when the girl asked it a question with a smile.

She thought it was a great deal that the egg, which cost 299 yuan, was healthy after a new owner's check-up.

"From my current perspective, I don't see anything wrong with it."

Zhang Lingchuan glanced at the girl and then answered.

When he brought his cat to the vet, he saw a green light above the other person's head.

Such a healthy color should pose no danger.

"That's great! Thank you, Dr. Zhang! I'll always support you! I'll never doubt you!!"

Upon hearing Zhang Lingchuan say those words, the girl's expression immediately relaxed.

The consultations continued, with three cases of diaper rash, and others for treating dog hair loss, skin diseases, and fractures.

An hour passed before we knew it.

"Hello, Dr. Zhang, my surname is Yu and my name is Xinggui. This is our husky. It gets too restless at night when it's in heat, so I brought it here today to ask you to help with its neutering."

At that moment, a somewhat chubby man wearing a long-sleeved, modern Tang suit and black glasses walked over, leading a husky.

He exudes a unique, rustic charm.

"The Spring Returns Cleansing Room truly lives up to its reputation."

"It's hilarious. They all come to consult Veterinarian Zhang about whether they're sick, even sacrificing their own dogs' testicles."

"Congratulations to Veterinarian Zhang for reaching the highest number of clicks with 1.55 million thanks to 'Gaga Egg,' securing the second spot!"

"Such a big husky, poor thing. What if it wakes up and finds it's missing a pound or two? Will it bite someone?"

"This is the first time I've seen someone wearing a modern Tang suit in a live stream. This guy's a bit pretentious~"

……

I heard it was another sterilization procedure.

The viewers in the live stream started making jokes.

Meanwhile, some people congratulated Zhang Lingchuan on successfully taking the second place on the daily ranking.

Of course, there was also a lot of talk about the pet owner.

After all, the other party's modern Tang suit was quite rare.

The linen gray cloth and the Chinese knot buttons give it a feel reminiscent of the style of master artists who painted traditional Chinese paintings.

"Okay, Mr. Yu, have you followed all the pre-operative requirements? We require you to fast and abstain from water for eight hours before the surgery."

Zhang Lingchuan asked habitually.

Anyway, the neutering surgery is quick and basically safe. The cost for the dog is 399, so it's okay to charge a little more.

Who would turn down money?

"Yes, yes, we've been fasting and withholding water for our dogs, strictly following the instructions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have felt comfortable asking you, Veterinarian Zhang, about these issues."

The man named Yu Xinggui nodded slightly and began to speak.

"Oh? You want me to help you with your diagnosis? Judging from your appearance alone, I think you should be fine, right? Of course, it's also possible that my skills are insufficient. If you're really worried, you can go to the hospital for a thorough examination."

Zhang Lingchuan answered while he was busy.

Because he saw that the other person had a green tag above their head.

According to the system's traffic light rules.

A green light basically means you're healthy.

So far, there have been no mistakes.

Actually, there weren't that many patients. It felt like many people were just there to give others a physical examination for peace of mind.

After all, he had just heard someone joke that a physical examination at the hospital would cost at least one or two thousand yuan, and the key point was that it wouldn't necessarily give him peace of mind.

Because cancer cannot be detected in a regular physical examination.

Therefore, cancer screening is necessary, and the cost of such screenings can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.

You might as well come to Zhang the vet and spend 299 or 399 to get a human scan checkup.

If the other party doesn't notice anything wrong, then there's probably no problem.

As the person involved, he was naturally speechless at such remarks.

He's putting his heart into this, but you're treating him like a human medical examination machine.

“Veterinarian Zhang, I’m not the one who needs to see a doctor. I’m perfectly healthy. My mother is the one who needs to see a doctor and she’s on her way here. Actually, you and I are both dedicated to the cause of traditional Chinese medicine and have devoted a lot of time to it. I can even take pulses, diagnose illnesses, and prescribe medicine. I also have my own theories.”

As he answered, the man in the modern Tang suit began to talk about himself.

Even his whole being became radiant.

"Oh, so you're a fellow professional, and even have your own publications. That's impressive. I think you don't need me to treat your mother's illness, right? After all, my skills are just rudimentary."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingchuan immediately responded.

I had a feeling this guy was up to no good.

Could it be that I've encountered the legendary challenger?

But this is a veterinary clinic! And he won't prescribe any medication!!

"A hidden master among ordinary people? Or someone who's challenging others?"

"I knew it! No wonder you came in wearing a new Tang suit. I had no idea something interesting was about to happen."

"Someone who can publish books must be a big shot, right? Could it be the owner of a nearby TCM clinic or a university professor?"

"Pfft—, that's hilarious. But I think your line of thinking is pretty good, bro. You might actually be a TCM clinic owner or a university professor."

"I don't know how to put it, but he doesn't seem like a big shot. There's always an arrogance about him. It's okay for someone in their twenties or thirties to be arrogant, but he looks like he's almost fifty. I don't understand why he still has that arrogance."

"Yes, the owner of the TCM clinic doesn't know, but a proper TCM university professor doesn't have that much free time."

……

The appearance of this person who seemed to be a colleague.

The barrage of comments, which had been much less frequent before, has finally reignited.

After all, when treating animals, most people, apart from veterinarians, didn't know what to talk about.

But treating patients is a different story, especially when it comes to someone who seems to be challenging you.

“That’s still different. I’ve watched many of your live streams online and found that although you don’t know how to prescribe medicine, your pulse diagnosis is surprisingly accurate. I can prescribe medicine, but I’m far inferior in diagnosis and pulse diagnosis. At the same time, many people have criticized my treatment methods. Today, I would like to borrow your live stream room, Veterinarian Zhang, to see my mother, a person who was sentenced to death by modern medicine, but was brought back to life by me, the inheritor of the essence of traditional Chinese medicine!”

Yu Xinggui's tone suddenly rose as he spoke.

His entire being was inexplicably radiating an aura of dominance.

"Um... sentenced to death by modern medicine, but brought back to life in your hands, Mr. Yu??"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I've run into the real deal this time?

Because this so-called traditional Chinese medicine doctor is a fake.

His use of traditional Chinese medicine is nothing more than a means to conceal his own system.

But if modern medicine has given them a death sentence, can traditional Chinese medicine really save them? It seems a bit far-fetched!

But that's someone else's mother, and now they're planning to show her to him. It can't be fake, right?!
"Holy crap?"

"Is this some kind of unconventional approach?"

"Judging from Veterinarian Zhang's expression, he was clearly shocked!!"

"To be honest, generally speaking, if modern medicine has given a death sentence, it is basically impossible to be saved by traditional Chinese medicine, unless it is a misdiagnosis."

"I also feel that there is a high possibility of misdiagnosis. Although traditional Chinese medicine is a medical system that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years, it is still insufficient compared with modern medicine in the treatment of terminal diseases."

Studio.

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this.

This guy is too fierce!
They can save even those the hospital gave them a death sentence!!

"hiss--"

Spring has returned to the clinic, and everyone's hearts are pounding.

Could it be that a master hidden among the common people has arrived?
