Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chen Yang slowly stood up, walked to Zhuang Qiwen's side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Chen Yang didn't look at the treatment plan, but instead looked at the patient on the stage, then his gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Lu Yuanmin and Wu Yongping.

"I believe that Dr. Zhuang's diagnosis accurately grasped the core pathogenesis of this critical condition: 'stasis and fluid retention, obstruction of the three jiaos, and near collapse of vital energy,'" Chen Yang's voice rang out clearly.

"The treatment plan, though seemingly aggressive, is actually the only 'game-changer' that could turn the tide in the current situation."

“Extraordinary diseases require extraordinary treatments, and even more so, extraordinary courage! I fully support Dr. Zhuang’s plan.”

Chen Yang's tone was resolute and without the slightest hesitation: "If there is any responsibility, I, Chen Yang, and Dr. Zhuang Qiwen will bear it together!"

“Director Chen…” Zhuang Qiwen looked at Chen Yang, a warm feeling and a stronger sense of power welling up in his heart.

Chen Yang's public statement and full support acted as a stabilizing force, not only giving Zhuang Qiwen the greatest confidence but also completely changing the prevailing sentiment.

Lu Yuanmin took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with Wu Yongping, and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"it is good!"

Lu Yuanmin slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Since Director Chen and Dr. Zhuang have such courage and responsibility, if I were to stick to the old ways and play it safe, wouldn't I be seen as a coward? I agree to give this plan a try! Our hospital and you all will share all the consequences!"

Wu Yongping nodded emphatically: "Our hospital will mobilize all resources to fully cooperate and make thorough preparations for monitoring and rescue!"

Ultimately, the judging panel unanimously approved Zhuang Qiwen's plan for emergency treatment!

The outcome of the match seemed no longer important at this moment.

Everyone's hearts were focused on that critically ill patient.

Once the plan was finalized, the hospital immediately began preparing and decocting the medication as quickly as possible. Zhuang Qiwen personally stood guard outside the ICU ward, closely monitoring the situation inside.

After the medicine is decocted, it is slowly injected through a nasogastric tube.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere in the corridor outside the ICU was so tense it was almost frozen.

The patient's family members were sobbing softly, and the members of Chen Yang's team and the provincial team were also silently waiting. Cheng Yi looked at Zhuang Qiwen's steady back standing at the door of the ward with a complicated expression.

About an hour after taking the medication, the patient began to experience a reaction. First, there were active bowel sounds in the abdomen, followed by the passage of small amounts of dark brown, loose stool with a foul odor.

Immediately afterwards, sweat poured out like oil, and my whole body felt cold and wet.

The data on the monitor began to fluctuate; the heart rate increased, and the blood pressure decreased.

"Dr. Zhuang! The patient's blood pressure has dropped, and his heart rate is 120 beats per minute!" the nurse reported anxiously.

The family members panicked immediately, and cries filled the air.

Cheng Yi and several other experts from the bulk-producing province also watched Zhuang Qiwen nervously.

Zhuang Qiwen's expression was grave. He strode to the monitoring screen, carefully observed the patient, and examined the patient's pupils and tongue. He said in a deep voice, "This is a 'medication-induced shock reaction'! It's a sign of intense struggle between the pathogenic factors and the body's resistance, with the vital energy surging to expel the pathogenic factors! Continue to observe, prepare the ginseng and aconite injection solution, and be ready to administer it intravenously at any time!"

Zhuang Qiwen's composure inspired the medical staff present.

Half an hour later, the patient's stool volume increased and the color turned dark yellow, while sweating gradually decreased.

Surprisingly, the patient's urine output began to increase, albeit not by much, but this was an extremely positive sign! More importantly, the patient's blood pressure and heart rate gradually stabilized, even improving compared to before medication!

"It works! Dr. Zhuang, the patient's urine output has increased! The blood pressure has stabilized!" the nurse exclaimed in surprise.

A suppressed cheer suddenly erupted in the corridor.

Zhuang Qiwen let out a long sigh of relief, only then realizing that his back was already soaked with cold sweat. He looked at Chen Yang, who nodded slightly at him, his eyes full of approval.

Although the patient remains critically ill, this crucial first step has been taken without major incident! This is undoubtedly like tearing open a crack of hope in endless darkness!

When the news reached the auditorium, the entire hall erupted in cheers!

Zhuang Qiwen's name, along with his groundbreaking plan and his courageous act of turning the tide, was thoroughly imprinted in the hearts of all TCM practitioners in the province.

This thrilling and dramatic competition ended with the Kyoto team achieving an undisputed victory.

But at this moment, the outcome is no longer important. The greatest gain from this trip is the shock and reflection brought to the TCM community in the province by the superb medical skills, extraordinary courage and innovative thinking displayed by Zhuang Qiwen, Xia Hongliang, Yu Shiyun, Zeng Yunhui and others.

"The demeanor of a renowned doctor, truly the demeanor of a renowned doctor."

Wu Yongping couldn't help but exclaim, "Although Zhuang Qiwen came from a village doctor background, he has the demeanor of a renowned doctor. Director Chen has a discerning eye!"

In this patient, Zhuang Qiwen truly demonstrated the level of a renowned doctor.

As a renowned doctor on the list of famous doctors, Zhuang Qiwen should have been confident and capable of turning the tide, but he had not been able to clearly recognize his own abilities before.

Many people also felt that Zhuang Qiwen was just a village doctor, so his skills were only so-so.

Although Chuang Kai-man stood out at the medical conference, some people felt that he was just lucky.

But this time, Zhuang Qiwen proved himself completely.

"I never thought we would actually win, and win completely!" Yu Shiyun was still a little excited.

“Cheng Yi is actually very skilled, but…” Zeng Yunhui shook his head and didn’t finish his sentence.

"Brother Zhuang, your last proposal really gave me a cold sweat."

Xia Hongliang smiled and said to Zhuang Qiwen, "Well done!"

Back at the hotel, the group chatted and laughed.

"Director Chen, isn't our winning streak a bit too much this time?" Zhuang Qiwen asked Chen Yang.

"You are the outstanding contestants from the National Medical Competition."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "The National Medical Competition should be a competition for the group of people with the highest level of TCM in the country. As the top thirty in the competition, you should win every battle. It would be bad if you lost."

"Director Chen is right."

Xia Hongliang said with a smile, "The strength we've demonstrated this time will also show the whole province that the Medical Competition is highly prestigious."

“Especially Cheng Yi, who should have participated, but didn’t register, which clearly shows his disdain,” Zeng Yunhui added.

In the hospital office, Cheng Yi sat behind her desk, her face looking very unwell.

Just as Xia Hongliang, Zeng Yunhui and others said, Cheng Yi did not care about the Xinglin Competition before, but this time, he lost so thoroughly to everyone in the Xinglin Competition.

Yu Shiyun, Zeng Yunhui, Xia Hongliang, and Zhuang Qiwen are all better than him.

Indeed, there are always higher realms to reach and more capable people to surpass.

"Shocked?"

Wu Yongping walked in and asked with a smile.

"It's alright." Cheng Yi stood up and forced a smile.

"You're lucky to have met so many outstanding talents. Don't be discouraged. Director Chen will be giving a lecture at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine tomorrow, so listen carefully." Wu Yongping reached out and patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder.
