Seeing the medical record written by Liu Limin this morning, Xu Qing said curiously: "Hey, this patient, senior brother, is so strange. He can't see clearly. How do you diagnose him with gastrointestinal and kidney problems?"
Liu Limin chuckled and said: "The eyes can't see, it's just the appearance. We Chinese medicine doctors need to look at the inner side. These are the reasons why he can't see, so only by solving these problems can the eyes recover. The difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that
The big difference is this. Western medicine often treats headaches and feet, while Chinese medicine treats symptoms based on syndrome differentiation and does not look at symptoms!"
Xu Qingruo said with enlightenment: "It makes sense, but it's still too profound!"
Now Xu Qing is pursuing the clinical path of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but she has started to study traditional Chinese medicine more, because she studied Western medicine in university, and now she has switched to studying traditional Chinese medicine. She has many concepts that she has to change at once, and it is not easy.
Liu Limin continued: "So, it makes sense for Chinese medicine to see, hear, ask and practice. If a good Chinese medicine doctor is to use it in many aspects, especially for some difficult and miscellaneous syndromes, only in this way can there be unexpected gains.
For example, if you understand the patient's life, you will know why he has a certain disease. If you don't ask, you may not be able to judge sometimes. Of course, if you are particularly smart, you don't need to ask!"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "At your level, you shouldn't need to ask, right?"
Liu Limin chuckled and said, "That's not enough. I have to work hard to improve my level. In fact, my current level was just getting started in ancient times."
Xu Qing stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh my God, senior brother, if you are just starting out, I can't even touch the door!"
The two of them had a meal and rested for a while.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, work started again.
Liu Limin then sat in for a consultation. Since his specialist clinic was not open often, there were quite a lot of patients.
The first patient in the afternoon was an elderly man.
You must know that the diseases of the elderly are the most difficult to treat, especially this elderly person who looks to be in his seventies or eighties.
This old man was also sent to see a doctor by his son.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Please sit down, old man, what's wrong with you?"
The old man was a little embarrassed and said: "I can't help it!"
His son quickly added: "It has been more than ten days, what should we do? We went to a hospital, and the doctor there said it was long-term, but when I thought about it, my dad is seventy-eight years old, this can withstand this
It was troublesome, so we came to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I heard that you are very good at treating diseases. Do you think this disease can be cured?"
Liu Limin smiled slightly and said: "It's not a big problem, let me check your pulse first!"
As he spoke, Liu Limin put his finger on the patient's pulse. From the pulse, Liu Limin judged the old man's condition.
Because of the old age and lack of fluids at night, coupled with the impatience, it is said that the deficiency fire is strong and the stool cannot be passed.
This is serious, because there are many elderly people walking like this.
Because once the elderly cannot pass stool, it is somewhat dangerous, especially if it lasts for more than ten days, which may lead to intestinal necrosis or something, and then it will definitely be difficult to save them.
After checking his pulse, Liu Limin asked: "Old man, do you have a regular diet? Do you still eat a lot these days?"
The old man said sheepishly: "I can eat it normally, but now it's almost unaffected. I still have to eat a bowl of rice. It's just that I ate so much, but it didn't come out. I'm also worried. Where is all the rice?"
Have you gone?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Old man, your disease is basically caused by excessive heart fire, which damages the stomach qi, and then due to the lack of fluid in the intestines at night, the defecation is weak, so it is accumulated, and now you have to
It is indeed difficult to expel it. Western medicine can only use long-term irrigation, but that is too harmful to the intestines and is not a good method for the elderly. So, I am going to give you acupuncture.
After stimulating the function of the gastrointestinal tract, I think it should be discharged soon. I will also prescribe two medicines to regulate it!"
The old man and his son both wished it would be fine soon, so they naturally agreed.
Liu Limin asked the old man to sit down, took out the silver needle, and started to insert the needle.
Sometimes Bian Que Thirteen Acupuncture is really useful, because through acupuncture, dredging the patient's meridians will have unexpected effects.
After a while, the old man's stomach began to growl.
Liu Limin asked: "Old man, do you feel the urge to defecate now? If it is very strong, I will tighten the injection!"
The old man said quickly: "Come here, come here, doctor, please take off the injection soon, I have to go to the toilet!"
Liu Limin quickly took away the injection. The old man suddenly stood up and rushed to the toilet outside. He was not at all like an old man in his seventies. This was really fast.
But he couldn't do it if he didn't run faster, because he was afraid that his pants would get wet. This was a hospital, so it wouldn't be a shame.
His son also said quickly: "Doctor, let me go over and take a look. We will come back later!"
Liu Limin nodded and said: "Go ahead and take good care of the old man and don't fall!"
Here Liu Limin continued to diagnose and treat the second patient. Besides, the old man ran to the toilet and pulled out the things that had been stored for more than ten days in one go. But the smell was really bad. It turned out that there was still something in the toilet.
Several people, some of whom were so smelly that they couldn't even poop, ran out quickly.
The old man's son could only go in holding his nose. After all, he was his father, so he couldn't be seen outside.
Those who ran out were cursing, but they had no choice but to run to the toilet downstairs because it was too smelly and they couldn't stay there.
After a while, Liu Limin had just finished treating the second patient, and the old man and his son came back.
The old man's complexion also turned a lot more rosy. Liu Limin asked, "Old man, how do you feel?"
The old man said happily: "It's so comfortable. I pulled the thing out right now, but it smells a bit. Doctor, don't be offended!"
It is true that both the old man and his son smell bad, but fortunately it is not too serious.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "It's okay, it'll be clear. Now your intestines and stomach still need to be adjusted. I'll give you a prescription. You go back and eat it. If you feel better, you don't have to come again. If you still feel uncomfortable,
Let’s see again.”
As he said this, Liu Limin prescribed a prescription and asked the old man's son to take it. This was a Buzhong Yiqi decoction, which had the effect of raising the Yang and lifting the Yang.
The father and son happily took the prescription and went out to grab medicine.
Liu Limin also breathed a sigh of relief, because this patient actually met the system's requirements for difficult and complicated syndromes.
