Chapter 271
Sun Simiao and Su Chen chatted for more than an hour.
He changed his view of Su Chen again.
"Young friend Su is knowledgeable and proficient in medical theory. I admire you very much!"
Sun Simiao said with deep admiration.
"Old Immortal, thank you for your praise. I don't know how to cure diseases. You are the master doctor."
During the conversation, no matter what common disease Sun Simiao mentioned, Su Chen only needed to ask a little, and he could explain the symptoms and causes of the disease.
When Sun Simiao asked how to treat it, Su Chen answered very straightforwardly.
'I can only talk, not cure! '
This puzzled Sun Simiao.
But the bacteria Su Chen mentioned made Sun Simiao confused.
According to Su Chen, bacteria are invisible to the naked eye, but they are everywhere in the human body.
He also gave examples of various complications caused by bacterial infection.
Sun Simiao asked back: If it is invisible to the naked eye, how do you know the existence of bacteria?
Su Chen could not answer, he lacked an optical microscope.
"My dear Su, your talent is beyond description, and the good deeds you have done for the people are all admired by me. I am very happy to see you today!
It has benefited me a lot to talk with you. I have been disturbed for a long time.
I will consult you again in the future. I am leaving now!"
Sun Simiao stood up and said goodbye to Su Chen, and Cen Renhai stood up and said goodbye to Su Chen.
"Leave? I'm afraid you can't leave, old immortal."
Su Chen stood up and smiled slightly, and said with a bow: "I wonder where the old immortal is staying?"
"I don't have a fixed place. This time I came to Chang'an just to find a unique medicine village in the Western Regions, and to prove and compile it into a book.
I heard about your noble deeds in the city, so I came to visit you.
Thank you for your hospitality, old Taoist, take your leave!"
After Sun Simiao finished speaking, he walked out of the living room.
Su Chen decided to take a strong medicine and must keep Sun Simiao, the old immortal.
"Are you planning to write a book? Is it a thousand-dollar prescription?" Su Chen asked tentatively, and paid attention to the old immortal's expression.
Sun Simiao stopped and turned around, smiling slightly:
"I can't say I have written a book, but I have a collection of common prescriptions and many years of medical experience to prepare for future generations.
A thousand-dollar prescription? What a good name!"
Su Chen was embarrassed when he heard this. It seemed that the masterpiece had not been named yet.
Su Chen could only find another way.
"Old immortal travels around to treat people's illnesses and injuries. Have you ever heard of appendicitis?"
Su Chen thought that the current medical level should not have surgical operations such as opening the abdomen.
Su Chen suspected that appendicitis could not be cured in ancient times.
But this disease is so painful when it attacks, and it is a common disease.
"Oh? I don't know what kind of disease is appendicitis you are talking about. I have never heard of it." Sun Simiao asked after thinking for a while.
In the previous conversation, Su Chen didn't understand the disease Sun Simiao was talking about, and now it was the old immortal's turn to not understand.
"Appendicitis has no external symptoms, only one symptom.
That is pain. The patient will feel pain worse than death. If not treated in time, it will cause suppuration and shock and death."
Su Chen told him what he knew truthfully.
He didn't believe that Sun Simiao, as a miracle doctor, was not curious about the disease he had never heard of.
Sun Simiao thought quietly and walked back to the living room unconsciously.
Su Chen was relieved a little bit by this. It's right to be curious, but I'm afraid you are not curious.
Sun Simiao lowered his head and paced back and forth in the living room.
After a while, he looked up at Su Chen and asked:
"My friend, as you said, appendicitis causes pain in patients. When the symptoms occur, is it in the right lower abdomen?"
Su Chen was stunned after hearing this, and recalled carefully, and touched his right lower abdomen.
It seems to be this position.
Su Chen himself has never had appendicitis, but he has seen people with appendicitis.
"Yes, it is this position." Su Chen nodded and replied.
"I have seen no less than ten cases of this disease. The pain of the patients makes their faces turn blue and purple, and the pain is unbearable.
This disease is called: intestinal abscess.
Is there a cure for this disease?"
Sun Simiao asked anxiously. Even the King of Medicine was helpless against intestinal abscess.
Su Chen nodded slightly, "Yes!"
"Can you cure it, my friend?"
Previously, when discussing the pathology with Su Chen, Su Chen could only talk but could not cure it. Sun Simiao was determined to try his luck.
Su Chen shook his head.
When Sun Simiao saw Su Chen shaking his head, his heart was completely cold.
"I can't cure it, but you can, old immortal!"
Sun Simiao smiled bitterly and sighed:
"Although I have practiced medicine for many years and have made some achievements, I am helpless against this disease, even the medical saint of the Han Dynasty is the same.
There has never been a precedent for curing intestinal abscesses in history."
In ancient times, intestinal abscesses were known as "fatal diseases"!
"Hehe, old immortal, I have something to show you. You will understand after you see it.
Old immortal, Ren Hai, please follow me!"
Su Chen smiledAlthough he can't treat appendicitis, he can let Sun Simiao see the appendix.
Su Chen has thought of using the pathology analysis book to "entice" Sun Simiao to stay.
But what if what is said in the book is not as good as the old immortal's research on pathology, wouldn't it be a case of showing off one's skills in front of an expert?
In fact, Su Chen didn't know.
The book on pathology analysis and diagnosis and treatment is the most comprehensive and advanced medical technology in the current environment.
It is not from the future, and the corresponding treatment methods can all be implemented in the Tang Dynasty.
Sun Simiao will not doubt that Su Chen is talking nonsense, and the old immortal is still very accurate in judging people.
"Wang Xi, prepare a quiet house with a courtyard for the old immortal and Ren Hai.
The old immortal will live in the manor in the future."
Sun Simiao seemed not to hear Su Chen's arrangement.
He is now focusing on this incurable disease of intestinal abscess that makes him helpless.
The three came to the study, and the human anatomy diagram was presented in front of them.
"Look, old immortal."
Sun Simiao had never seen such a colorful picture of the internal structure of the human body.
"Su Xiaoyou, this... this..."
"Hehe, old immortal, look, this is the appendix."
Su Chen smiled and took off the thick cecum, pointing to a small section at the end and laughed.
In the human anatomy diagram, every organ can be taken off and put back on.
"Appendicitis is a problem with this little thing, just remove it from the human body.
Without this appendix, there will be no problem for the body. Some people even remove the appendix in advance to prevent the occurrence of appendicitis.
Because appendicitis is too painful."
Sun Simiao was shocked. Who on earth had such a great ability to study the internal organs of the human body so thoroughly.
Sun Simiao carefully stroked those organs.
After a moment, Sun Simiao came back to his senses, "My friend, as you said, to cure intestinal abscess, we need to cut open the patient's belly and then remove the appendix.
In this way, can we ensure that the patient is safe?"
After thinking, Su Chen replied, "Any surgery has risks, such as injuring other organs during the operation, and infection caused by improper wound treatment. These are surgical risks.
But under normal circumstances, the success rate of the operation can reach more than 70%."
Sun Simiao nodded in agreement. Even if a prescription is prescribed to treat the disease, the same disease cannot guarantee that the patient will be cured 100%.
"How about it? Old Immortal, do you want to stay and study it?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
"I'd love to have you!"
Sun Simiao answered neatly.
