If traditional Chinese medicine is really standardized, scientifically researched, and formalized, it actually has a lot to offer.

For example, Tu Youyou and her team found inspiration in ancient Chinese medicine books, and then used modern medicine to extract artemisinin to treat malaria, and finally won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Cow or not?

So there is no need to argue that any refined Chinese medicine is not considered Chinese medicine. There is no need for such a sectarian view.

To paraphrase Master Deng’s words: It doesn’t matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.

The same is true clinically. Regardless of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, as long as it is effective, it is a good medicine, and it is worth applying and promoting to benefit patients.

A bully will only make his own path narrower and narrower, and everything must be people-oriented.

In the ward of Vietnam-China Hospital.

After hearing Doctor Ji Guoping's inquiry, Deng Changle glanced at the various burn ointments in the box, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on the ceramic bottle in the innermost part:

"Don't take out ordinary ointments. The patient's burn is too severe now and ordinary ointments are not effective. Just use Tianshan Snow Lotus Ointment."

Snow lotus burn ointment is a Chinese patent medicine whose main ingredients are Tianshan snow lotus and Lithospermum sinensis.

It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, promoting muscle growth and closing the mouth. It is suitable for burns and scalds caused by various reasons.

This ointment has become a swan song in later generations.

Why?

In 1996, my country classified Tianshan Snow Lotus as a second-level protected plant. Tianshan Snow Lotus is the only snow lotus plant listed in the "Red Book of Chinese Plants" and is a third-level endangered species in China. National documents have explicitly prohibited the harvesting of wild Snow Lotus.

To put it bluntly, Tianshan Snow Lotus has become a flower that sits on the bottom of the prison. Some people may be picking and using it secretly, but it is absolutely impossible to produce it industrially.

In later generations, there was also a "compound snow lotus ointment" for sale on the market, but the effect was not very good. Of course, this also became a piece of "evidence" that traditional Chinese medicine has no effect.

"Use Tianshan Snow Lotus Cream?"

Ji Guoping and other assistants felt a little distressed when they heard that Tianshan snow lotus is only found in the high-altitude areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The yield is not high, and transportation and preservation are even more difficult.

This is no longer a question of whether it is expensive or not, but the source is too scarce, even Dongshan Hospital does not have much stock.

"Old Deng, we don't have much Tianshan Snow Lotus Cream left. These three seriously injured people will use it in the blink of an eye. There is no way to explain it when we get back."

Deng Changle had a livid face:

"There is no need to explain anything. Now the patients are so injured that there is a question mark as to whether their lives can be saved. Chen Qi from the Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is still watching our jokes. If all three patients die, he will

If two patients are saved, then our face will be disgraced to the whole world. Everyone must be very energetic and use the best drugs and skills. We cannot lose this battle!"

Everyone was furious when they saw Director Deng and understood the seriousness of the matter.

So bottles of precious Tianshan Snow Lotus Ointment were wiped on the patients as if they were free of charge. A bottle of medicine cost 200 yuan, and only 10 bottles were used.

When Director Qi heard that the rescue costs were so high, he gritted his teeth:

"Yes, no matter how much money we have, we will pay for it and give me the best medicine!"

The referee God appeared again at this time.

The two sides should be tied at this level, because what Chen Qi produced was the most classic burn ointment of later generations, while what Dongshan Hospital produced was the most precious burn ointment of this era.

It’s really hard to say which one is better in terms of efficacy between the two, so it can only be considered a tie.

Vietnam-China People's Hospital still leads by 2 points.

After applying the ointment, rehydration is still continued. The principle of rehydration for burns is "crystallization first, then glue".

Crystalloid solutions include isotonic saline, lactated Ringer's injection, hypertonic saline solution and other sodium-containing solutions.

Colloidal solutions include plasma, albumin, an appropriate amount of whole blood or red blood cells, and plasma substitutes such as dextran, gelatin succinate, and hydroxyethyl starch.

Now the two sides have reached the second round of rehydration, using colloid solution.

Zeng Chu came to ask for instructions again: "Teacher Deng, what kind of colloid should we add first?"

Deng Changle thought for a moment: "First apply hydroxyethyl starch, and then immediately negotiate with the Vietnam Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We need a large amount of albumin and plasma."

"Plasma?" Facing the doctors from Dongshan Hospital, Chen Qi's eyes began to spin after hearing:

"Comrade Zeng, we don't have much plasma at the Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Look, our own patients are also waiting for plasma products."

Zeng Chu was young after all, and became anxious when he heard:

"What can we do? Patients without plasma can't survive at all. How about Dr. Chen, please think of another way, and if that doesn't work, mobilize all hospital employees to donate blood."

When there is not enough blood, the first thing is to ask medical staff to donate blood. Doctors and nurses are really suffering a big loss, and this kind of blood donation is free of charge.

Only when the medical staff are exhausted will the local army or local college students be considered.

What we are saving now are the workers of the Yue Steel Plant. There are more than 30,000 employees in the Yue Steel Plant. For such a large group, others need to help donate blood? Who are you looking down on?

Chen Qi was also bad, and of course he didn’t want his employees to suffer, so he quietly suggested:

"Comrade Zeng, there are more than 30,000 employees in the Yue Steel Factory. Just a hundred and eighty people will be enough for you to use blood. Director Qi said that the wounded must be rescued at all costs. Go tell him.

, and asked him to bring over all the workers and masters from the Yue Steel Plant and ask them to donate blood."

When Zeng Chu heard that it made sense, people from his own unit always had to contribute, so he ran to the door of the ward again.

"Director Qi, Director Qi, patients now need a large amount of plasma products. The inventory of Yuezhong Hospital is running low and we need people to donate blood. How about you go back and organize the workers and masters? It's best to have some workers donate blood."

When Director Qi heard this, he thought it was a trivial matter, just donating blood.
