Chapter 157 Disagreements in Diagnosis and Treatment

At this time, Dr. Chen Wenhao suddenly became dissatisfied. He thought that Qin Jianye's headache would completely disappear, but the headache symptoms still existed. The anger in his stomach finally burst out towards Wu Yanzi.

"Headaches are related to cervical spondylosis. As a chief physician, how could I not know this? I have studied medicine for twenty years and have treated countless patients. I have never made a mistake in diagnosis, so I was promoted to chief physician at the age of thirty-four. Xiao Wu, don't forget your identity. You are a health worker, not a doctor!"

Doctor Chen Wenhao was angry at Wu Yanzi at this moment, which Wu Yanzi did not expect. In fact, this was just a friendly reminder, but Chen Wenhao did not buy it at all and even thought it was a provocation.

In fact, at this time, if Chen Wenhao listened to Wu Yanzi's advice and really changed his mindset, then Qin Jianye's condition would have a new diagnosis, and he would be able to cure Qin Jianye's headache, and his future would be bright. However, his personality and self-confidence made him not trust other people's opinions at all, and it was also because of his self-centered mentality after becoming the chief physician. In fact, it was not that he had never made a mistake in diagnosis, but that he re-diagnosed after making a mistake, so in the end, it was all correct.

"Doctor Chen, I don't mean anything else. I'm just giving you a hint." Wu Yanzi saw Dr. Chen Wenhao's attitude. She didn't want to anger him, so she replied with a smile.

"Xiao Wu, you are not needed here now, you can leave!" Doctor Chen Wenhao pointed at Wu Yanzi and scolded.

At this time, Chen Wenhao had not lost his mind. If he had not considered that his old leader was treating the patient, he would have pushed Wu Yanzi out of the door long ago. Therefore, he tried his best to control his emotions.

Wu Yanzi turned around and wanted to leave the ward. She didn't want to have any misunderstanding with Dr. Chen Wenhao, so she looked back at Qin Jianye lying on the bed before leaving. However, Qin Jianye also looked at her at this time, and the two looked at each other, but they had different thoughts in their hearts.

Qin Jianye was very satisfied with the young health care worker in front of him. The massage on his head and neck just now brought him unprecedented comfort. The reason why his headache was relieved a little was actually due to the relief brought by the massage. He has been a leader for a long time. He is very shrewd and knows what to say and what not to say. In front of him, he can tell a person's character by his words and deeds.

Wu Yanzi seemed to see her elderly grandmother in Qin Jianye's eyes. She suddenly stopped and looked at Dr. Chen Wenhao.

"Doctor Chen, I have something to say. I have studied medicine since I was a child and have attended a traditional Chinese medicine college. Although I am not a doctor now, I consider myself a healer! A doctor has a kind heart, so in front of the patient, I must tell him my diagnosis. This patient has a headache caused by cervical spondylosis."

"You..." Qin Yixuan became a little dissatisfied when she saw that the health care worker disturbed Dr. Chen Wenhao. She was about to blame Wu Yanzi, but Qin Jianye reached out and grabbed her arm.

Qin Jianye shook his head slightly. Qin Yixuan understood what his old father meant, so she stopped talking.

Chen Wenhao didn't expect that this health care worker would not listen to him. At this time, he was thinking about going back to find Director Qin Lixia to get her to prescribe the medicine.

"Okay! Doctor Xiao Wu! You told me that doctors have a kind heart, and what is a doctor and what is a patient. You said that the old leader's headache was caused by cervical spondylosis, so I want to hear how the doctor from the Nanjing University School of Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosed it."

After Dr. Chen Wenhao finished speaking, everyone in the ward looked at Wu Yanzi, especially Qin Jianye who was lying on the hospital bed. He wanted to hear how his headache was caused by cervical spondylosis.

"Okay! Then I'll tell you my diagnosis. I studied Chinese medicine, so of course I know all the Chinese medicine diagnosis methods, which are observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. When I was giving the patient an infusion, I held the patient's wrist and felt the patient's pulse. The patient had symptoms such as hyperactivity of liver yang, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and liver and kidney deficiency. This means that the patient has high blood pressure, inflammation of the liver and kidneys, and symptoms of dizziness and palpitations. However, these symptoms are not the cause of the headache. If the patient's headache is caused by high blood pressure, then the headache will have a fluctuating sense of pressure, but when I gave the patient acupoint massage, I judged from the patient's pain response that the headache was not caused by high blood pressure. Later, when I was massaging the patient's cervical vertebrae, I found that the patient had a problem with the second cervical vertebra, and the cause of the headache was here. Because the patient obviously had a comfortable and painful reaction under my pressing and pushing, I concluded that the headache was caused by cervical spondylosis." Wu Yanzi told the diagnosis.

"This is just nonsense!" Doctor Chen Wenhao finally couldn't help but blurt out a swear word. "Young health care worker, medicine is not metaphysics, and you can't fool people with just a few words. I don't reject Chinese medicine, but in today's technologically advanced society, advanced medical equipment can detect any disease. So I doubt your diagnosis. The CT scan didn't find any problem with the old leader's cervical spine, but you diagnosed cervical spondylosis." Doctor Chen Wenhao immediately refuted with specious arguments, as if everything he said was correct.

Qin Yixuan completely believed what Dr. Chen Wenhao said. She didn't believe that a young health care worker in her twenties could diagnose a disease by taking a pulse, so she looked at Wu Yanzi with disdain.

"Doctor Chen, I acknowledge the progress of modern medicine, but when you do a CT scan of the cervical spine for a patient, can you tell that there is no problem with the cervical spine? Did you use an MRI? Let's not talk about these first, but when you diagnose and treat patients, have you ever communicated with them? Modern medicine is different from traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to the inspection of diagnostic and treatment equipment, it is more important to communicate with patients, because only the patient knows his physical condition best. But from the moment you entered the ward, you never asked questions or communicated with the patient, and you could diagnose and treat with just the cold diagnostic and treatment equipment."

"You..." Chen Wenhao wanted to refute Wu Yanzi, but he remembered that Qin Jianye had not been subjected to an MRI, so the CT diagnosis results could not be fully trusted. At this moment, he really didn't know where to start.

Doctor Chen Wenhao felt speechless, but Wu Yanzi had a lot to say. Modern medicine was originally good, but the mentality of doctors has changed, and modern medicine has become a commercial tool for making money. If you don't treat people for the purpose of saving lives, that's the mentality of doctors who are seeking fame and fortune. Therefore, to say that hospitals are sacred is just to turn doctors into devils.

Thinking of this, Wu Yanzi began to talk freely, "Doctor Chen, patients are not plants. Doctors must treat diseases according to their symptoms. Let's not talk about those drugs that dilate blood vessels and relieve pain, which are only symptomatic and not fundamental. It is obviously a headache caused by cervical spondylosis, but vascular drugs are used to treat it. This is irresponsible treatment. Vascular drugs can indeed lower blood pressure and dredge blood vessels, but long-term use of drugs will cause liver and kidney function failure. Then the liver and kidney diseases will be treated until the disease increases and the multi-functional organs fail. Only then will the treatment be stopped. Doctor Chen, does the modern medicine I mentioned require such treatment?"
