In the afternoon, Li Duanyang began to hiccup non-stop.
Qin Linlin came to the hospital office from her grandparents' villa but didn't see him. She moved around the wards and didn't see him. She didn't even see Xiaozhu. She called him and asked if he was in the dormitory.
It was a dormitory that the department temporarily arranged for him.
The dormitory is very simple, but fortunately it is a single dormitory, so Li Duanyang can take a temporary rest here when he does not go back to the rental house over the villa at night.
Qin Linlin went to Li Duanyang's dormitory and saw that he had two needles stuck in the Cuanzhu acupoint on his brow and two needles in the Neiguan acupoint on both forearms, but he was still hiccupping.
While hiccupping, he pointed at a human model and explained to Gao Xiaozhu.
Hiccups, known as hiccups in traditional Chinese medicine, have many underlying causes, but in the end they are always caused by the upward flow of gastric qi, which disturbs the spasm and contraction of the diaphragm.
Therefore, regulating qi and lowering qi is the basic treatment method.
You can rub acupoints, massage, acupuncture, or take medicine to solve the problem.
There is also a folk method, which is to suddenly accuse you heavily when you hiccup, such as saying that you stole someone, etc. This will surprise the patient, and it will work in many cases.
But this does not mean that all hiccups can be cured. Some people even have hiccups for many years for no apparent reason and cannot be cured even after seeking medical treatment.
This results in stubborn hiccups.
Western medicine has no solution for this kind of stubborn hiccup caused by non-organic diseases. You have to seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine also has to identify the real pathogenesis before it can be cured. Otherwise, there won’t be people who have been seeking medical treatment everywhere for many years.
Nothing more.
"What's wrong with you? Are you cold or angry?"
Qin Linlin looked at Li Duanyang and asked a little funny.
Generally, hiccups are easily caused by cold or gas in the stomach.
"Don't ask...uh~Hiccup...there are so many."
Li Duanyang said while hiccupping, while he quickly took off his T-shirt, revealing his good figure with prominent chest muscles and eight-pack abs.
"Come on... uh hiccup... give me... uh hiccup... put a needle on Geshu acupoint too!"
Cuanzhu and Geshu are both experienced points on the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang for treating hiccups. Each has a pair. Cuanzhu is on the eyebrow and Geshu is on the back.
The Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian runs through the back of the human trunk, runs between both sides of the spine, and enters the lumbar region. The lumbar meridian (LV) refers to the muscles on both sides of the waist and spine, so when a hiccup occurs, acupoints on the bladder meridian can be used for treatment.
The Cuanzhu and Geshu points have the function of regulating the bladder meridian. Pinching or acupuncture on these two pairs of points can regulate the rise and fall of the Qi machine, reduce the flow of Qi, and relieve hiccups.
In addition, Cuanzhu point is the chest point for nose acupuncture, and the lungs open to the nose, so this Cuanzhu point can also communicate with the lungs.
The lungs are in the middle of the chest and are responsible for promoting and descending the hair. They play an important role in maintaining the ups and downs of the human body's Qi. Therefore, the treatment of hiccups through the Cuanzhu point is more effective.
As for the Neiguan point on the human forearm, which is a pericardial meridian point, it naturally has the effect of widening the chest, regulating Qi, and treating hiccups caused by Qi disorders in the chest.
"Have you found...uh~Hiccup...the diaphragm point?"
Li Duanyang felt that Qin Linlin's hands were rubbing against his back like two balls of cotton, but he didn't see the needle inserted, so he could only ask.
"I'd better, um, pinch and rub it for you?" Qin Linlin said timidly.
"Oh... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... just go ahead... hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
, we have to...uh~burp...take action."
Li Duanyang said.
Now Qin Linlin understood that Li Duanyang just wanted her to practice.
After lingering for a while, under Li Duanyang's repeated urging, Qin Linlin finally plucked up the courage to take action, but the needle shook in her hand, and it really only went in a little bit, and a few bits leaked out from Li Duanyang's back.
Come blood...
Well, at this moment, Li Duanyang stopped hiccupping, and Qin Linlin's first experience of giving someone an acupuncture was over.
"Practice your technique first if you have time. Find a pillow or something like fruit to pierce it, and practice until it's fast and accurate." Li Duanyang said gently and authentically.
"I have also practiced on my arms, legs and feet..." Qin Linlin whispered.
"Brother, can I also practice?" Gao Xiaozhu interrupted.
Li Duanyang waved his hand hurriedly: "Xiaozhu, you should practice again in two or three years. Linlin, you should also be careful. Don't inject needles into your head, chest and abdomen first. This is dangerous.
"
Qin Linlin nodded. Because she was a little disappointed with her performance today, she didn't even notice that Li Duanyang started to call her Linlin instead.
"I booked a flight ticket for tomorrow morning and am going to Kyoto. After I leave, Xiaozhu, please don't make your grandpa angry. Linlin, please take time to visit the ward. Also take time to visit Bai Xuejie's house on the third floor.
." Li Duanyang put on his T-shirt and said, "If you have any questions, call me."
"Why are you going to Kyoto?" Qin Linlin asked.
"My aunt is seeing a doctor in Kyoto for cystitis glandularis, ureteral stenosis, and hydronephrosis. The doctor there asked her to do an ostomy surgery. I'll go see if it can be done." Li Duanyang said calmly.
In fact, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. His hiccups today were caused by this incident.
Liver wood restrains spleen earth, and the spleen is connected to the stomach. Therefore, stagnation of liver qi will not only make people unable to eat, but sometimes it will also cause imbalance in the rise and fall of the spleen and stomach. If the spleen does not rise, the stomach qi will not fall, and if the stomach qi does not fall, it will rise and reverse.
Sometimes it causes hiccups.
This matter about his aunt really made him angry. He refused to listen to his family members and insisted on listening to the doctor at the hospital in Kyoto to perform the ostomy surgery. Therefore, he decided to have the surgery tomorrow afternoon.
Li Duanyang wanted to leave it alone, but he couldn't get over his concerns. At least he didn't mention that he was his aunt. He was about to fall into the trap and couldn't persuade her, so he had to run to help her again no matter what.
It’s okay if I’m not a doctor and don’t know the depth of it, but who makes me a doctor? And he’s also a doctor of a very high level.
Ostomy surgery will seriously reduce the quality of life. Failure to allow urine to flow back into the kidneys will cause infection. His aunt is from a rural area. What else can she do at home? The sanitary conditions are not good, so she had an ostomy surgery.
Fistula surgery won’t cause too much trouble in the future!
Wouldn’t it be better to use traditional Chinese medicine for conservative treatment? At least it is much better than an ostomy surgery!
His nephew is also a doctor. If there is a problem, he will solve it quickly. How can he maintain his position for decades?
In the afternoon of that day, Li Duanyang went to several liver cancer patients and Bai Xuejie to give them advice, and then asked for leave with Professor Hao. Early the next morning, Qin Linlin drove him to the airport.
"Don't be too impatient. Speak to the doctor and your aunt carefully so as not to cause any unpleasantness."
Qin Linlin advised Li Duanyang.
Although Li Duanyang did not tell her the details of the incident, Qin Linlin understood what was going on at a glance. Information is so convenient nowadays. You can understand it by sending a video. In this case, Li Duanyang has to personally
What else could be the reason for going to Kyoto? It must be because his aunt didn't listen to his advice.
"Well, I won't be impatient and will communicate well with them." Li Duanyang said gently, "Drive slower on the way back."
Qin Linlin nodded and watched Li Duanyang walk into the airport before driving away.
