Chapter 53: Treating Chinese medicine with a child's thinking
Early in the morning, it was the time for Professor Hao to lead a team to conduct ward rounds. Qin Linlin was the only one left in Li Duanyang's office, reading quietly.
The doctors on the night shift all went back to sleep after their shifts, and the two interns, Lu Ming and Guo Hongxia, also followed Professor Hao for rounds.
Although Guo Hongxia said she would spend most of her time learning acupuncture from Li Duanyang, in reality she still had to follow Professor Hao most of the time. For her, she could learn more from Professor Hao, and Li Duanyang’s Qi Zhi acupuncture technique
It wasn't something she could learn just by looking at it, so she mainly followed Professor Hao and only occasionally followed Li Duanyang.
In this office, or in this entire department, only two interns, Li Duanyang and Qin Linlin, are special.
Li Duanyang has his own abilities, and his relationship with Professor Hao is strong enough. Now no one regards him as an intern. Moreover, because he is actually responsible for several liver cancer patients, he has always acted on his own, and his time is entirely up to him.
He makes the arrangements himself.
Qin Linlin came from Jiaotong University School of Medicine as a cross-professional intern. Everyone did not regard her as a serious Chinese medicine intern. Moreover, because of her father's relationship and Li Duanyang's relationship, Hao
The professor also took advantage of her, so she became a free person in the department.
She couldn't always follow Li Duanyang's rhythm. After all, unlike Li Duanyang, she had too many books to learn, so she often studied alone instead of following Li Duanyang.
Just like this morning, Li Duanyang went to the ward to examine and physiotherapy liver cancer patients, and she studied alone in the office. Sometimes she also asked for some class notes from her best friend Chen Lixia to read and copy.
"Sister, what is Yinxu?"
Qin Linlin was reading a book when Gao Xiaozhu spread his short legs and ran over. He stood in front of Qin Linlin's table and looked up at Qin Linlin and asked.
Early in the morning, she heard Li Duanyang say the word "yin deficiency" to the patient. Seeing that Li Duanyang was too busy to answer her questions, she came to ask Qin Linlin.
"Yinxu..."
Qin Linlin was stumped for a moment. How could she explain this word clearly to a five-year-old child?
"Yin deficiency, well, Yin deficiency means that a person's body is dry and he has a fever." Qin Linlin thought for a while before answering.
Yes, Yin deficiency actually has two characteristics, one is dryness and the other is heat.
If the human body lacks water, body fluids, and essence, wouldn’t it just be “dry”?
Once the human body is "dry", the yin will inevitably not hold the yang. The yin fluid will no longer be able to restrain the yang energy of the human body, and the yang energy will escape and cause trouble. However, the nature of yang is frivolous and will inevitably float. This is the so-called "
The floating sun is rising.
Therefore, most of the deficiency fire caused by Yin deficiency in the human body is manifested on the head, such as red eyes, itchy ears, dry nose, dry lips, and dry tongue. These are all conditions caused by deficiency fire caused by rising Yang.
Of course, once a person "does it", the problem will not only appear on the head, but also in other parts of the body, and problems will occur in the internal organs.
For example, the liver-fire is deficient and excessive due to the lack of water and wood, the disturbance of liver-wind, the deficiency and excess of heart-fire caused by the disharmony of the heart and kidneys, and then the five heart upsets and heat (the heart, two palms and two soles of the feet)...
Qin Linlin thought about this and was a little happy. She had to learn both the thick and thin books. In fact, as long as you believe in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is easy to understand.
Many things in traditional Chinese medicine are derived from observing the natural world.
Many of its things are actually closer to nature.
"Dry..., hot..., um, big sister, I understand, then how to treat yin deficiency? Do you need to water a person with yin deficiency more and make him drink more water at the same time?"
Gao Xiaozhu asked again.
Water more, drink more water, eh, Qin Linlin was a little speechless...but thinking about it again, it seems to make sense.
Don’t people need to water more and drink more water in the summer? Some people carry a water cup every step of the way. Isn’t that just to prevent the body from drying out?
Ah~ah~~, this is really a truth that even a five-year-old child can understand.
Of course, the human body cannot completely resolve yin deficiency by watering and drinking water alone, because drinking water depends on whether the spleen and stomach can convert it into body fluid and essence.
This involves a deeper level in traditional Chinese medicine, involving the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen, stomach and other organs.
But you have to say that watering and drinking water is also a way to solve Yin deficiency.
Haha, many problems in traditional Chinese medicine are really very simple.
"Yes, watering more and drinking more water can also solve some problems of yin deficiency." Qin Linlin replied to Gao Xiaozhu with a smile.
After hearing this, Gao Xiaozhu spread her short legs and ran away. She was going to tell the patient how to cure his disease.
Soon, Qin Linlin heard laughter coming from the ward.
Inspired by Gao Xiaozhu's question, Qin Linlin continued to think about Yang deficiency.
What is Yang deficiency? If you think about it with a child's mind, wouldn't it mean that the body lacks firepower?
What happens if you lack firepower?
Won't you feel cold?
Therefore, patients with yang deficiency will be afraid of cold, and cold symptoms will also appear in various aspects of the body.
If the heart is yang deficient, doesn’t it mean that the heart lacks firepower?
So the heart will not beat fast, the heartbeat will not be fast, and the blood flow will be slow. Will people feel chest tightness?
When spleen yang is deficient, the fire power of the spleen is insufficient, and it cannot transport water and dampness well, so water and dampness will run rampant in the human body. Water and dampness will seep into the muscles and bones of the human body, and people will feel that their bodies are heavy.
, and feel pain at the same time?
Then, naturally, heart yang deficiency causes blood flow throughout the body to slow down, and spleen yang deficiency causes water and dampness to run rampant in the human body, so people will be afraid of the cold, lose weight, and have no strength?
Isn’t this a question that a child of just a few years old can figure out?
Therefore, the two most important characteristics of Yang deficiency are: first, the patient is afraid of cold; second, the patient is weak and often feels tired.
…
Ah~~, Qin Linlin thought this for a while, stood up and took two steps excitedly. In fact, Chinese medicine is also very easy to learn. As long as you change your thinking, everything about Chinese medicine is also very objective and regular!
In many cases it is actually much simpler than Western medicine!
But she took two steps and sat down again.
Any subject is easy to learn at the beginning, but it becomes more difficult the further you go.
Simple building blocks can also be piled up to create quite complex graphics and spaces.
When I first started learning mathematics, 11=2 was very simple, but I kept learning and learning until I learned virtual space operations that require abstract thinking to understand, and my brain exploded.
The same goes for Chinese medicine. The concept of Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency is simple, but if you change it slightly and superimpose the "dry" of Yin deficiency and the "cold" of Yang deficiency, it will become complicated for people to judge.
If you were to add up so many symptoms, it would be enough to make your brain grow bigger.
So we have to learn step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
However, after Gao Xiaozhu came over to stir things up, Qin Linlin felt as if her mind had been opened, which made her think one step closer to traditional Chinese medicine.
…
In the ward, Li Duanyang was giving massages to a patient. He glanced at Kongerxian, who was pouting at the side, and Gao Xiaozhu was secretly amused. She had just told a patient that to cure his disease, he needed to pour water on his head.
Drink more water, which caused the whole room to laugh, which shocked her deeply. She felt very confused and frustrated. Why didn't others listen to her treatment methods?
"Don't laugh at what Xiaozhu said. She is right. You really need to drink more water because of your illness. My Xiaozhu is right!" Li Duanyang said to the patient Gao Xiaozhu told him about.
His face was serious.
Because Gao Xiaozhu was looking at him with bright eyes at this time.
She observed Li Duanyang for a while and felt that Li Duanyang really supported her treatment method. She suddenly became happy again. She opened her big eyes and said to the people in the room: "Look, my eldest brother said that I am right."
Yes, he is the most amazing doctor, and he said what I said was right!"
She said this several times in a row, and this time no one dared to laugh at her. They knew that Li Duanyang really regarded her as his own sister, so they didn't want to make her angry, but they couldn't help but hold back their laughter.
