10/19/2005,Clear,Today is Wednesday,Due to being upset by the pharmaceutical companies on Monday and Tuesday,I was busy writing a paper on avian influenza,so I didn’t have time to write about good cases,Today I will share some insights with readers,On Monday, a male patient49years old,because he was in the midst of a major life change,he underwent surgery for gallbladder stones on9/29,but when the surgeon opened the abdomen, they found that he already had liver cancer and pancreatic cancer,so they only placed a drainage tube to allow bile to flow back into the small intestine,and then stitched up the wound,As soon as the patient was discharged, he rushed to see me,He and his wife were nervously holding hands,Upon observation, I could see that his complexion was slightly yellow,but his forehead still had a glow,and his eyes still had spirit,I thought this person could be saved,Upon checking the pulse,it was weak and slightly rapid,not a solid pulse,so I felt a bit relieved,During the inquiry,he reported loss of appetite,constipation,weight loss,cold limbs,and tea-colored urine,This person had a strong craving for coffee,and a sweet tooth,I told him that if he underwent chemotherapy,I guarantee he would not live more than six months,Please stop drinking coffee and eating sweets immediately,You have a lot of cold in your body,Currently, only Chinese medicine can save you,Live your normal life happily,Let me worry about your problems.
On Tuesday, a female patient,58years old,underwent surgery for bile duct cancer,This surgery not only removed the gallbladder,but also cut away one-third of the liver,and a small part of the pancreas,the stomach was completely removed,and some of the small intestine was also cut away,Afterwards, she underwent five rounds of chemotherapy,Now the cancer has reappeared in the liver, pancreas, and lungs,Upon observation, this person appeared emaciated,with a completely yellow complexion,no appetite,extremely thin,fatigued,deep yellow urine,constipation,dry mouth,craving cold drinks,and cold limbs,The pulse was purely a string pulse, slightly rapid,As the Inner Canon states: the appearance of string pulse in autumn,is a sign of lung disease,but she would not survive until the next spring.I certainly would not tell her that she was doomed,to go eat well, wear good clothes,and prepare for a coffin,but my mood was sinking,I spent some time trying to find favorable symptoms for her,but the more I checked, the more depressed I became,I told her I would give it a shot,and at the same time told her,that every time I play mahjong, I am a losing player,always losing and never winning,so my friends Dr. Zhang and Dr. Wu love to play cards with me,but when it comes to gambling on treatment,the odds are very high,often winning,If you had not listened to Western medicine and had not undergone these surgeries,you would have been very treatable,Now I cannot guarantee whether it can be cured,but I am willing to give it a shot,The outcome will be known within two weeks,If I lose,you can seek another expert,If I win,you can continue taking Chinese medicine,How does that sound?She nodded and said okay.
I was really upset,These past two days I was angry at the pharmaceutical companies for deceiving people,using avian influenza to threaten humanity,and seeing patients who could have survived now facing life and death,In order to save these ignorant and pitiful people,Alas,my mood has really hit rock bottom,I quickly need to take some Chinese medicine to calm down.It’s even more frustrating with the pharmaceutical companies.
