Chapter 114 You know all this?
As people get older, they will have some problems to a greater or lesser extent. Zhou Yimin's grandparents are no exception. Both of them were prescribed some medicine, all of which were Chinese medicine.
Zhou Yimin listened carefully and kept it in mind.
"Old lady, your illness is quite serious. It's hard for me to diagnose it. You'd better go to the hospital for a check-up." Chen Baishu said to an old lady.
He just took a quick look, felt the patient's pulse, and listened with a stethoscope for about twenty seconds before realizing that the problem was serious.
The old lady smiled nonchalantly and said, "No need to go, just prescribe some medicine for me."
In fact, she knew her own situation best, and it was indeed not optimistic. Every time the disease relapsed, she felt like she had walked through the gates of hell.
Her family was not well-off, so how could she dare to go to a big hospital for a check-up?
For some diseases, as long as you haven't found out what they are, you don't have to be that scared. Just take some medicine to hold on, and if you can't hold on, that's fate, so just accept it.
But if the disease is diagnosed and there is a treatment, the cost of treatment is extremely high. Wouldn't that make the family feel awkward? If they don't treat it, they will feel overwhelmed; if they do treat it, they will lose everything.
In fact, losing everything is nothing. The worst thing is to lose both money and life. The person is not saved, and the money is also wasted.
Zhou Yimin couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what's wrong with my sister-in-law?"
That’s right! This is another old sister-in-law.
A grandfather: "..."
Sister-in-law?
Are you serious about this name?
The old lady said to Zhou Yimin, "Sixteenth brother, I'm sick! I'll be fine after taking some medicine. I know what's going on."
Count? Count what?
Zhou Yimin could tell at a glance that his sister-in-law didn't want to be a burden to her family, so she wanted the doctor to prescribe some medicine to relieve her pain, and the rest would depend on fate.
All right! Seeing that the old lady called Zhou Yimin "Sixteenth Brother", Chen Baishu believed that this was Zhou Yimin's sister-in-law.
He said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a heart disease. As you know, this disease is a bit difficult to deal with. Of course, it may not be accurate. Let's go to a big hospital for a check-up first."
The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. Once a problem occurs, no matter how big or small, it will be very serious and may even be fatal.
Of course, there are many types of heart disease, such as rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease, myocarditis, etc.
The symptoms of heart disease are actually very obvious, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, lower limb edema and palpitations.
Zhou Yimin frowned slightly.
Heart disease is indeed not easy to treat. Even decades later, heart disease is still one of the most difficult and troublesome major human diseases.
"Besides, it is very likely coronary heart disease. I don't know if you, Yimin, have ever heard of this disease."
Zhou Yimin nodded: "I heard that it is the cholesterol layer that accumulates on the inner wall of the coronary artery, which narrows the arterial lumen, resulting in a reduction in the blood supply to the myocardium, leading to angina pectoris during exercise."
How could he not have heard of it? Coronary heart disease is also very scary in later generations.
I heard that, worldwide, coronary heart disease is one of the most serious diseases threatening human health and is the leading cause of death in the United States and some industrialized countries.
Patients with coronary heart disease often experience compressive angina after strenuous exercise. The pain can spread to the arms, shoulders, neck and jaw, but it will improve after rest.
Chen Baishu was shocked.
No way? You know all this?
What did you learn in school?
Seeing the surprised expression on the uncle's face, Zhou Yimin explained: "I heard about this disease accidentally and know a little about its cause and symptoms.
Moreover, I heard that there is a medicine that can cure this disease.
To be precise, it is not a cure, but it has a very obvious effect." Zhou Yimin thought of the quick-acting heart-saving pills.
It was a miracle drug developed by Professor Zhang in 1982. It was the first pure Chinese medicine pill preparation for the treatment of coronary heart disease in my country and was classified as a long-term state secret.
Two of the products she developed are also very famous, namely Isatis Root and Wujibaifeng Pills.
Chen Baishu was stunned again, then shook his head with certainty: "There is no such medicine."
"No? I seem to have seen it in an ancient book, called Jiuxin Pills, the main ingredients are Chuanxiong and borneol. Uncle, you are a professional, why don't you analyze whether it is feasible?"
Zhou Yimin also hopes that this miracle drug can be released ahead of schedule and bring good news to the people as soon as possible.
“Chuanxiong and borneol?
Chuanxiong is a commonly used Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Its main functions are promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, promoting qi and relieving depression, and dispelling wind and relieving pain. Borneol has the functions of opening the mind and refreshing the spirit, clearing away heat and relieving pain..." As he spoke, the old man suddenly believed Zhou Yimin's words.
These two ingredients are indeed helpful in the treatment of coronary heart disease.
"Where is the ancient book you are reading?" Suddenly, Chen Baishu wanted to take a look at the ancient book very much.
In ancient times, it was definitely not called coronary heart disease, but something like water vapor invading the heart.
The so-called water vapor invading the heart refers to water, dampness, phlegm and fluid.
Because of spleen deficiency and inability to transform qi, it accumulates inside the body and then rises to the heart and lungs, causing the heart yang to be deficient. This leads to a series of symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations with the slightest exertion, dull pain in the precordial area, and even angina pectoris.
Zhou Yimin spread his hands and said, "I don't remember. I read a lot of ancient books."
All right! Chen Baishu did not doubt it. After all, he heard that the water pressure well was built by Zhou Yimin after he saw relevant records in ancient books.
"There should be some other side effects, and they are very important. I have to study them carefully." An old man suddenly became interested.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He planned to look it up after he returned, and then conduct a trial experiment using Chuanxiong and borneol as the main ingredients.
If he could do it, he might also go down in history.
Of course, this is all thanks to Zhou Yimin's discovery.
Zhou Yimin looked at the old lady and said, "Sister-in-law, go for the check-up without worrying about the cost. The check-up doesn't cost much. As for the follow-up medication..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Baishu said, "If you don't mind trying the medicine, I'll take care of the medicine and you don't have to pay a penny. How about that?"
"Don't mind, I'll try the medicine." The old lady agreed without saying a word.
What is there to be afraid of when testing drugs? The biggest fear is not being able to afford the drugs!
Now, it would be best if someone provided the medicine for free.
Zhou Yimin knew that it was a pure Chinese medicine pill, and usually there would not be any major problems and it would not kill people, so he did not stop him. Someone has to come out to test the medicine, and if someone is willing, wouldn't that be the best?
The most important thing is that with this agreement, his sister-in-law will have a personal doctor who will be very concerned about her condition.
That's good.
"Okay, I will check on you twice a week from now on." Chen Baishu promised.
At this moment, Chen Baishu already had a prescription in mind.
Thanks to book friend 190331123718038 brother for the 500 reward!
