Chapter 410 Traditional Chinese Medicine Should Be Grounded
At this time, Terry Giles also arrived at the hospital.
He arrives on time at this time every day and has a good sense of time.
"Mr. Qin, I'm here."
"How is it? Mr. Giles." Qin Fan asked with a smile.
“It’s very profound, but you can understand it.”
Terry Giles scratched his blond hair.
"Mr. Qin, please call me by my Chinese name. I am falling in love with Huaxia more and more now."
"When you call me by my English name, I feel that there is a distance between us."
Terry Giles stared with blue eyes and carefully marked the distance with his hands.
Kangya didn't know who this blond foreigner was and was very curious.
When Qin Fan saw Terry Giles, he was serious, but also a bit ridiculous.
However, through this period of contact, he also knew that this foreigner was not only stubborn but also serious.
"Okay, then I will call you Mr. Xia Tian from now on."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Qin." Terry Giles was very happy.
"I'm going to study and try to learn acupuncture as soon as possible."
He turned around and took out the six medical books from the corner of the bookshelf.
When I returned to the lobby of the medical clinic, I looked at it intently.
When Kang Ya saw this scene, she almost didn't rub her eyes.
A foreigner in his sixties came to Bian Que Medical Clinic to learn acupuncture, and he was so serious about it.
She glanced at Qin Fan quietly.
I saw that the other party was still very attentive and continued to sort out the information.
The two of them just sat there, neither of them speaking.
Just then, the silence was broken by a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.
A young couple came in.
Qin Fan raised his head and stopped what he was doing.
He smiled slightly and said politely: "Oh, hello, please sit down!"
"Hello, Mr. Qin!" The young couple were also very polite.
Kangya was still very sensible and quickly stood up and pulled out the chair for the other party.
After the woman sat down, the man sat down.
"Excuse me, what's your problem?" Qin Fan asked.
"Mr. Qin, my wife has just given birth. Her milk cannot come out, but she is very bloated and painful."
"The baby can't suck it out and is crying because of hunger. What should I do?"
The man anxiously introduced his wife's condition to Qin Fan.
The woman was just a little embarrassed, but didn't resist much.
But when Kang Ya heard this, her face suddenly turned red and her ears felt hot.
She couldn't help but lower her head slightly, feeling so shy!
How could you come to Qin Fan for such a thing? After all, he is a man.
Why is it that on the first day of work, the first patient is suffering from this embarrassing disease?
This is a woman's privacy issue.
She couldn't help but glance at Qin Fan secretly again.
Only then did he realize that Qin Fan had a calm expression and was still listening to the other party's dictation attentively.
"Well, let me check my veins."
The woman stretched out her left hand, and Qin Fan felt her pulse skillfully.
Qin Fan asked: "How is your appetite these days?"
The woman said: "I feel sore in the mouth, dry in the throat, and uncomfortable in the chest."
"I feel very irritable, my diet is not good, and I can't eat anything."
"Well, let me take a look at the coating of your tongue."
Qin Fan looked at the other party's tongue carefully.
Then, he switched to his right hand to feel the pulse, and stopped within a few seconds.
He nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Then, he turned to Kang Ya and said, "Come and check the pulse."
"Oh, okay!" Kang Ya was excited.
She quickly put away her messy thoughts.
The woman saw that Kangya was a trainee doctor, but with Qin Fan around, she also cooperated to let Kangya complete the pulse check.
This was the first time for Kangya to face a real patient, and she carefully tasted the pulse.
After it was over, Qin Fan didn't ask her.
Instead, he smiled at the young couple.
"Don't worry, I'll give you some medicine and you'll be able to breastfeed smoothly."
He picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription, signed his name, and then handed it to the man.
"Hurry up and get the medicine. Make sure to boil the medicine in a casserole so that the baby can have breast milk at night."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Qin!"
The man and woman quickly stood up, thanked them, and left happily.
After sending the patient away, Qin Fan asked Kang Ya.
"You listened to the other person's dictation, observed the other person's complexion, felt the pulse, and looked at the tongue coating."
"Tell me about your diagnosis?"
Kang Ya quickly recalled the situation in her mind and organized her words.
"The patient has a red tongue with thin yellow coating and a stringy and rapid pulse. According to their oral description and observation."
"I guess... I guess there is some liver qi stagnation. If the treatment is to reduce swelling and clear breasts."
Hearing this, Qin Fan frowned slightly and glanced at Kang Ya.
"As doctors, when we diagnose patients, we must not use ambiguous words such as estimates."
"Estimation means uncertainty. Now that you have a diagnosis, if you continue to estimate, you don't believe in your diagnosis."
"If you believe in your diagnosis, you should use the most direct and affirmative words. This will make the patient confident in the treatment."
"I hope you won't use the word estimate again in the future, do you understand?"
"Oh, I understand." Kangya lowered her head and said.
The first time she diagnosed a patient, she was caught and criticized by Qin Fan, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She felt so wronged, and even thought Qin Fan was being picky.
But then, Qin Fan said: "Actually, your diagnosis is accurate."
"But lack of self-confidence."
Suddenly, Kang Ya's somewhat disappointed heart became active again, because Qin Fan praised her again.
Although this is just a very simple disease, praise is a kind of recognition.
"Based on your diagnosis, you can write a prescription now."
Kang Ya nodded and thought for a while.
Pick up a pen and write down a prescription.
This prescription is not complicated. It is a prescription called Juye Powder, which has the effects of soothing the liver and clearing the stomach, reducing swelling and dissipating knots.
This is the most basic recipe.
I learned it in college and can still recite it.
She kept writing and then revising.
Qin Fan did not rush her and waited patiently for her to finish writing the prescription.
"That's all right, Mr. Qin."
Qin Fan took the prescription. Although there were modifications in the process, this was inevitable for newcomers.
After reading it, he crossed out the medicine Pangolin and wrote Passepartout next to it.
Kangya was very surprised, "Mr. Qin, why do you want to change it to Passepartout?"
"The proverb says that the king does not leave pangolins alone. Isn't it correct that pangolins are used to open breasts?"
Qin Fan smiled and said, "Do you think there are still pangolins now?"
Well, Kang Ya was suddenly speechless.
In the latest edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, pangolins are no longer included.
That means that from now on, pangolins will no longer be used as medicine.
Nowadays, pangolins are not available in many pharmacies.
However, Kang Ya was still a little unconvinced.
"The pangolin is everywhere and cannot be worn everywhere. It has been a holy item for breast penetration since ancient times."
Qin Fan smiled.
"In terms of compatibility and efficacy, there is nothing wrong with using pangolin."
"But you should know that the International Union for Conservation of Nature has upgraded the Chinese pangolin's status from endangered to critically endangered."
"Do you know what critically endangered means?"
"It means facing extinction." Kang Ya replied.
Qin Fan nodded, "Yes, the next level up from critically endangered is extinct in the wild."
"That means this species will disappear from now on, and the main factors that cause pangolins to be extremely endangered are food and medicinal uses."
At this point, he changed the subject.
"As doctors, we must first have a compassionate heart and try our best not to use animal drugs."
“There are very few pangolins in today’s medicinal companies, and some of them are still in stock from the past.”
"Just because you use it less and less, it becomes more and more precious, so the price is also very expensive."
"We Chinese medicine practitioners should consider the patients themselves and be more down-to-earth."
“If we can prescribe Chinese medicine that is both cheap and effective, we will never prescribe expensive medicine to patients.”
"That will only make ordinary people feel that Chinese medicine is also a high-end product."
"TCM is to be close to the people and serve the people."
"This Passepartout has the same effect, is very practical, and is very cheap."
"Adding it to medicine is like opening a road, opening up the channels of Qi and blood, and milk will naturally flow down like a spring."
"Do you understand?" Qin Fan asked.
"I see."
After listening to Qin Fan's heartfelt words.
Suddenly, Kangya's eyes became moist.
Qin Fan used a simple disease to tell her his experience in using medicine, the medical ethics of being a doctor, and even the principles of life.
She finally opened her heart.
Qin Fan really didn't care about her, and really didn't blame her.
From this moment on, Kang Ya was truly convinced.
She stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Qin Fan smiled and nodded.
Then, he added: "We are doctors sitting here. There is no gender in our eyes, only patients."
Kang Ya's little face turned red immediately.
"okay, I get it."
At this time, another patient came to knock on the door, and an old man came in.
