When Qin Meixiang finally found out that Liu Muchiao was a patient with lumbar spondylosis and acupuncture, he was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time.
"Is there anything wrong? Didn't you say you only treat cervical spondylosis?"
"When did you say it? You said it a month ago. Now, I am an expert in this field. Just send me this kind of patient. Oh, by the way, the limit for cervical spondylosis is 10 per day. One more is fine.
No, there are 5 lumbar patients and 5 acupuncture patients. It’s still the same old rules, I work here for two hours every day, and the rest of the time I work in neurology or pediatrics.”
Qin Meixiang has nothing to say. She has seen strange people, but never such strange people.
"There are three patients with herniated lumbar discs on the hospital bed. Do you want to call them over?"
Qin Meixiang still doesn't quite believe what Liu Muqiao said. You couldn't do it a month ago, so how can you do it a month later?
"Call me here and give it a try."
He himself also wanted to try the power of fire to treat new diseases, which would be more enjoyable.
Three patients came in.
"Lie prone on the bed and I will massage you. Be mentally prepared. It will be a little painful because I try to push the herniated disc back as much as possible."
One patient was a little worried, "Will he be disabled?"
"Disability? What a joke! Once you push it back, you will be like a normal person."
Another patient said: "Come on, come on, help me push. I don't have money for surgery, and I'm not afraid of pain."
Liu Muqiao chuckled, gently drew a line on his spine, and asked: "Where does it hurt?"
"Oh, it was right here."
"Here?"
"That's right."
"Well, okay, let me help you relax first. It's very comfortable, right?"
"Comfortable."
Liu Miqiao pushed while chatting. Gradually, he pushed to the herniated disc.
Liu Muqiao's fingers were very sensitive. He could feel the protruding part and rubbed it gently for a while. Suddenly, he pinched the key point and exerted a sudden force.
"Ah!"
This "ah" sounds very distinct from pain to pleasure.
Very cool, so cool.
The patient's eyes filled with tears. His right leg, which had been numb and painful just a moment ago, was instantly gone.
"Is it that simple? Is there really no need for surgery? How about taking medicine?" He asked several questions in succession.
Liu Muqiao smiled and said: "Simple? Well, let's call it simple. The second question is that there is no need for surgery. You have fully recovered. The third question is that you don't need to take medicine when you go back. However, a reminder,
You have this disease. In the future, you should be careful not to carry too heavy a load, and you should also pay attention to your posture when moving things. If your posture is wrong, it may relapse."
Posture?
Qin Meixiang burst into laughter.
Several people got it wrong.
After the first one was cured, the other two patients began to fight for the second one, and no one would let the other.
"Don't argue, come one by one. However, I want to make it clear that not all herniated discs can be cured by me. About one-third of them cannot be pushed back and can only be operated on. There are exactly three of you, hehe,
Maybe one of them won’t be able to push it back.”
The two of them were in a mess, and they both regretted not being the first one.
Liu Muqiao was pressed for time, so he pointed at one and said, "That's you!"
The second patient's vertebral body degenerated more severely. Liu Miqiao did not dare to use too much force. He massaged and relaxed slowly to reduce the muscle tension and relax the tight ligaments. He spent nearly 20 minutes and gently massaged the vertebral body.
.
The patient said "Ah", and then shouted: "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
The last one left.
He almost cried.
"One third, two are cured, and I am left. Why am I so unlucky?"
Liu Muqiao smiled, "That's not the concept. You understand it wrong. You still have a two-thirds chance of being cured. This is just a matter of probability."
The patient was dubious and lay prone on the bed.
Qin Meixiang kept a close eye on Liu Muqiao, and he found that Liu Muqiao's techniques were unpredictable, such as pushing, taking, squeezing, pressing, rolling, tapping, etc., which were used alternately, and seemed to be very regular, but also seemed to have no rules at all.
It's incredible.
The third patient did not have a herniated disc at all, but just a lumbar muscle strain.
Lumbar muscle strain is easy to deal with, just loosen it directly.
However, there is a problem. Lumbar muscle strain is easy to recur. You can be hospitalized or undergo physical therapy at home.
Liu Muqiao told the patient.
"So, it's actually more troublesome than a herniated disc?"
"You can't understand it this way. Many intervertebral disc herniations are degenerative lesions. Degenerative lesions themselves cannot be cured. As long as you master the rules, you can treat it yourself."
"How to treat it?"
"One, don't overwork the psoas muscles, two, don't catch cold, especially the waist can't use air conditioner, three, don't sit for a long time, four, do more exercises on the psoas muscles, five, if it happens, do a hot compress as soon as possible. No
Is it difficult?”
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult."
Qin Meixiang, who was standing by, endured it for a while and said, "Liu Miqiao, this patient had an MRI, and the imaging diagnosis showed a herniated intervertebral disc."
Liu Miqiao was slightly startled. Who was wrong? According to my massage experience, the patient should have a lumbar muscle strain. The tenderness points and muscle tension all indicate an acute attack of chronic lumbar muscle strain.
"Bring me the movie."
Qin Meixiang had already picked up the film and was waiting nearby.
Plug it into the reading light.
"Well, have you noticed that this place is not a herniated intervertebral disc, but a piece of soft tissue. This is the consequence of low ability to read pictures. Remember, the report issued by the radiology department is for reference only. You must read it yourself."
"So, the patient really doesn't have a lumbar disc herniation?"
"Don't believe me? Haha, Lao Qin, I'm really not bragging. If I am second in Antai Hospital's reading ability, no one would dare to say that it is first. Believe it or not, the director of the radiology department will definitely know me when he sees me.
If he turns a corner and slips away, he won't dare to face me."
Qin Meixiang stuck out her tongue. Only Liu Muqiao dared to say this.
"How are you feeling now?"
Liu Muqiao stopped talking about MRI and asked the patient.
"It almost doesn't hurt anymore."
"Well, it's okay this time. As I said, be careful not to let it recur. Take care of yourself."
After the patients went out, Qin Meixiang whispered: "There is a problem if this continues. These patients will almost no longer need to be hospitalized after you massage them like this. Then won't our number of inpatients decrease?"
Liu Muqiao was stunned.
He only focused on treating patients, and he really didn’t consider the department’s income.
If a hospital wants to survive, it must have income. To have income, it must first have patients. A cervical spondylosis can be cured in a few minutes for 34 yuan. Even if it has 100 patients a day, it cannot afford to support the medical staff.

However, thinking about it on the other hand, treating a disease is of course the pursuit of curative effect.
"Old Qin, you are wrong to think like this. There is a saying that I would rather the medicine cabinet is dusty than I hope there are no sick people in the world. What do you think? Lao Qin, I am not trying to be a moral saint. You can look at the problem from another perspective.
With the improved curative effect, will we worry about patients? By then, not only from all over the province, but soon all over the country, there may even be foreign friends coming to seek medical treatment. Do you think we are still short of patients?"
"That's right. Nowadays, there are more and more cervical spine patients. I have another worry. Can you do it alone?"
"You and Director Peng come up too. I'll teach you and help you reach the master level as soon as possible."
