某患者:感受暑热,热与湿相合,阻滞于肠胃,发为痢疾。医生不采用清热法,误投干姜、附子等温热药,导致热邪损伤营分,下血满盆。虽然大体病情得以控制,但至今大便仍排出瘀块,腹部疼痛。胸膈痞闷不舒,想呕吐却吐不出来。舌苔黄薄且干腻。这是由于失血过多,冲脉之气逆上,而肠胃中的湿热仍未清除,补益与攻泻两难,属于棘手重症。勉强拟定养肝以平抑冲气,兼用丸药下行,以滋阴泄热,采取上下分治的方法。请高明者斟酌使用。

Third Visit: Intermittent dysentery slightly alleviated, but pain persists during defecation. There must be stagnation and obstruction in the convoluted parts of the Large Intestine.

Fourth Visit: Using "treat obstruction with unblocking method" (Tong Yin Tong Yong); abdominal pain and dysentery greatly reduced. Indeed, damp-heat is stagnant and obstructing the Large Intestine. Without entering the tiger's den, how can one get the tiger's cub?

Fifth Visit: The major trend of dysentery is gradually receding, yet edema remains on limbs and face. Upon lying down at night, Qi rebels upward. Lying down causes Qi to rise, indicating deficiency below failing to secure. Further secure and calm the lower jiao.

Certain Patient: Contracted summer-heat; heat combined with dampness, obstructing the stomach and intestines, leading to dysentery. Instead of clearing heat, warm herbs like Ginger and Aconite were mistakenly administered, causing heat to injure the Ying-nutrient level, resulting in massive hematochezia filling a basin. Although the general condition has stabilized, blood clots are still passed today, accompanied by abdominal pain. Chest oppression and discomfort, desire to vomit but unable to do so. Tongue coating is thin, yellow, dry, and greasy. This is due to excessive blood loss causing Chong-mai Qi to rebel upward, while damp-heat in the stomach and intestines remains uncleared. Tonification and purgation are both difficult; this is a stubborn, severe case. Tentatively prescribe nourishing Liver to calm Chong-mai Qi, combined with pills descending to nourish Yin and drain heat, employing a method of treating upper and lower separately. Please consult wise practitioners.

Third Visit: Damp-heat leakage continues; intestinal color is red like pig liver. Still indicates damp-heat steaming. In tonifying Earth, simultaneously clear damp-heat.

Fourth Visit: Bowel sounds and diarrhea unceasing; anus feels heavy and sinking. Pulse slippery and large. This is damp-heat not transforming, pressing down the Large Intestine Fu organ. Propose harmonizing Ying-nutrient and simultaneously clearing damp-heat.
Danggui Tan (Charred Angelica Sinensis Root, 2 qian) Chao Huaihua (Fried Sophora Flower, 2 qian) Hang Baishao (Hangzhou White Peony Root, 1.5 qian) Zhuche Wan (Zhuche Pill, 3 qian, taken first with boiling water) Danpi Tan (Charred Moutan Cortex, 2 qian) Bai Fuling (Poria, 3 qian) Song Banxia (Song Pinellia Tuber, 1.5 qian) Dan Huangqin (Light Scutellaria Root, 1.5 qian) Guang Ju Bai (Guang Citrus Albedo, 1 qian)
Patient Wei (Left pulse): Previously had hematochezia; Yin level long depleted. Again injured by cold-fluid damaging Spleen; Spleen fails to control blood; bowel sounds and diarrhea persist for days, depleting Zang-Yin further, thus Fu-Yang becomes drier, hence occasional dry feces mixed with stool. Pulse deficient and wiry. Within nourishing Yin, incorporate tonifying Spleen, and simultaneously clear damp-heat.

Third Visit: After bowel sounds and diarrhea, fullness and stuffiness after eating, scanty urination, and foot swelling. The reason is that although damp-heat in the Large Intestine has transformed, Spleen Earth Qi is deficient and cannot transport dampness. Thus, what was damp-heat in the past is now damp-cold; what was Fu-excess in the past is now Zang-deficiency. Propose dual regulation of Spleen and Kidney.
