Chapter 345 Rare and Difficult Diseases
Yuan Bao was not surprised by this number.
Common illness, 5,000 points, meets the requirements.
Although the efficiency is far less than that of previous emergency cases, this is the normal routine for itinerant doctors.
Small accumulations add up, which is equally important.
She patted the little girl's head: "Take good care of Grandpa, and take good care of yourself too. The medicines on the prescription should be available at the town's pharmacy. If it's really difficult, you can try to gather some simple herbs to substitute, such as..."
She patiently taught the little girl several common wild vegetables and herbs that have the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, or replenishing qi.
After saying goodbye to the grateful little girl, Yuan Bao stepped out of the thatched hut and basked once again in the bustling sunlight of the town.
Just as she was about to enter the town to see if there were any more patients, Little Nine on her shoulder suddenly let out a soft "Eh!" in a voice only she could hear, tinged with doubt and seriousness: "My lady, wait! Something's happened!"
Yuan Bao paused, "What's wrong?"
“That old man just now…” Xiao 9’s voice was lowered, with a buzzing sound like data scanning, “The main system detected a very weak, atypical energy fluctuation on him! It was very subtle, mixed in with the sickness energy, and we almost missed it!”
“Atypical energy fluctuations?” Yuan Bao’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the highest level of “rare and difficult cases” in the points rules.
"Yes! The scan shows that in addition to obvious post-stroke sequelae and qi and blood deficiency, there seems to be a kind of... um... very 'viscous' stagnation in his body. It's not just simple blood stasis, but more like... some kind of special 'evil toxin' has been eroding the internal organs for a long time, causing the qi of the five internal organs to be disordered and the meridians to be distorted!"
Xiao 9's voice turned serious. "This condition is extremely rare and very insidious, almost impossible to detect with conventional diagnoses! If it weren't for a deep scan of the main system... this would probably be a 'rare and difficult disease' level illness! Moreover, this 'evil poison' seems to be related to his 'fall' half a year ago, more like a trigger than the main cause!"
Weird and complicated disease!
Fifty thousand points!
Yuan Bao's breathing became rapid instantly!
She turned abruptly and hurried back to the hut.
The little girl was surprised to see her return: "Sister Doctor?"
"Little sister, I forgot to ask earlier, what exactly happened when your grandfather fell half a year ago? Where did he fall? Besides being unable to move, did he experience any other strange sensations?" Yuan Bao spoke quickly, but tried to remain gentle.
The little girl tried hard to recall: "It was on the back mountain... Grandpa went to chop firewood, and when he came back, he rolled down the slope... He immediately cried out that his leg hurt and he couldn't move... Later... Later, I think he said he felt cold in waves, like insects were crawling inside... He also kept having nightmares and talking in his sleep... But when we called the doctor, they all said that he had just broken his bones and tendons..."
Paroxysmal chills, like insects crawling!
Nightmare ramblings!
Alarm bells rang in Yuan Bao's mind!
These are not symptoms of a typical fall and subsequent stroke!
Based on the "evil toxins" and "disordered Qi of the internal organs" detected by Xiao 9, the answer is obvious - it is very likely that during the fall, the patient accidentally came into contact with or was infected with some rare "yin evil" or "miasma" that erodes the meridians and internal organs!
This disease is extremely complex, and it not only affects the recovery of limbs, but also gradually erodes vitality!
“Old man, please feel it more carefully. Besides being unable to move and feeling heavy, do you always feel a cold, damp sensation creeping into your chest or abdomen from time to time? Or like something is blocking or twisting you?” Yuan Bao leaned closer to the old man and carefully observed his reaction.
The old man's cloudy eyes widened suddenly, and he made a louder "hoarse" sound in his throat. With his only still movable hand, he pointed with difficulty and trembling to the area below his heart, near his ribs, his eyes filled with pain and an indescribable fear!
it's confirmed!
Yuan Bao took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely solemn.
This is no longer a simple sequela of hemiplegia, but an extremely complex, difficult disease with both internal and external problems, and a mixture of reality and illusion!
The treatment approach must be completely changed!
Simply replenishing qi, promoting blood circulation, and clearing the meridians is far from enough. It is necessary to first clear the internal "evil toxins" and reverse the disordered qi mechanism of the internal organs!
She immediately opened her medicine box, took out a piece of plain silk and a charcoal pencil, and completely overturned the previous prescription.
Her brain was working at full speed in a "super state," with countless combinations of medicinal properties, meridians, and their roles as principal, assistant, and adjuvant herbs flowing, colliding, and reorganizing in her consciousness like a galaxy. She needed an unprecedentedly bold combination!
Main ingredients: rhinoceros horn (or concentrated buffalo horn powder as a substitute, to clear the heart, cool the blood and detoxify), antelope horn (to calm the liver and extinguish wind, to clear heat and detoxify), musk (to open the orifices and dispel foulness, to invigorate blood and dissipate nodules) – directly targeting the yin evil heat toxins that erode the internal organs!
Auxiliary herbs: Rehmannia glutinosa, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Paeonia suffruticosa (to clear heat, cool blood, and nourish yin), Bombyx batryticatus, Scorpion (to dispel wind, clear the collaterals, detoxify, and dissipate nodules), Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica sinensis (to address the deficiency of qi and blood while eliminating pathogens).
Assistant herbs: Acorus tatarinowii, Curcuma longa (to clear phlegm and open the orifices), Glycyrrhiza uralensis (to harmonize the herbs and clear heat and detoxify).
This prescription is potent and has an extremely strong attacking power, but it strikes straight at the heart of the problem, targeting the lurking poison!
Yuan Bao's hands trembled slightly as he wrote the prescription.
This is not only a test of medical skills, but also a challenge to courage!
"Little sister, this prescription is completely different from the one you had before! The previous one is invalid! You must get the medicine according to this new prescription!"
Yuan Bao solemnly handed the prescription to the little girl, her tone extremely serious, "This medicine... might be a bit strong. Your grandfather might experience some adverse reactions after taking it, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive sweating. These are all normal; it's the body detoxifying! But if he develops a persistent high fever or falls into a coma, you must immediately find a way to notify me! I will be staying in town for a few days!" She left her approximate area in town (intending to find a cheap inn).
Although the little girl didn't quite understand, she was moved by Yuan Bao's solemn expression and nodded vigorously: "I remember! Doctor Sister!"
Yuan Bao watched the little girl run towards the town's pharmacy with the new prescription, his heart filled with turmoil.
Will she be able to successfully remove that strange "evil poison"?
Whether the elderly man's frail body could withstand such a potent medicine remained to be seen.
Just then, the system notification sounded again, but this time it carried an unusual solemnity:
[A patient with a rare and difficult-to-treat condition has been identified and preliminarily diagnosed (hemiplegia due to internal accumulation of pathogenic toxins in the viscera and disordered meridians)!]
[Treatment Plan Submission: Aggressive attack on pathogens, reversing the flow of Qi (high-risk, high-reward approach).]
[Pre-bonus points (based on diagnostic difficulty and solution uniqueness): +10,000 points!]
[Note: Final points will be calculated based on the effectiveness of subsequent treatment and the patient's survival status. If the patient is successfully cured, the remaining 40,000 points will be awarded (the basic bonus for rare and difficult cases is 50,000 points). If treatment fails and results in the patient's death, points already awarded will be deducted, and additional penalties will be imposed.]
10,000 points have been credited to your account!
Current points: 40.5 + 1 = 41.5 / Target breakthrough points: 50
Looking at the figure of "41.5", Yuan Bao did not relax at all.
This 10,000 points is just a "deposit"; there is a high reward of 40,000 points to come!
But this comes with enormous risks and responsibilities.
Little Nine on the shoulder also quieted down, its round body seemingly tense, and whispered, "My lord, this time... it's going to be a tough battle."
Yuan Bao looked at the old man's thatched hut, her eyes resolute: "I know. But since we've encountered this, there's no reason to back down." She wasn't just fighting for points; she was fighting for a chance to turn things around for this elderly man and young child, both deeply suffering!
