Chapter 82: Meeting an Interesting Old Chinese Doctor
Li Duanyang went to the apartment to pick up Qin Linlin, and they went straight to see Guo Hongxia's mother.
Guo Hongxia said that her mother came to the city, but she was actually staying with her aunt in the suburbs for a few days.
As he was walking, Li Duanyang's cell phone buzzed. He took it out and opened it and took a look. It turned out that Guo Hongxia had sent him a red envelope, which seemed to make up for the cost of his car's gas.
This is too...well, Li Duanyang didn't say anything, and Guo Hongxia became even more awkward after pushing and rejecting her.
When they arrived at Guo Hongxia's aunt's house, there was an old doctor diagnosing Guo Hongxia's mother. It turned out that her mother couldn't resist her aunt's persuasion, so she invited an old doctor nearby to check on her mother.
Guo Hongxia was immediately blushing and didn't know what to do.
"Senior sister, don't be anxious, there's nothing going on today anyway." Qin Linlin comforted Guo Hongxia.
Li Duanyang also smiled at Guo Hongxia and expressed with his eyes that it was okay.
So a few people sat down and waited.
The old doctor was checking Guo Hongxia's mother's pulse.
Both of them are in their sixties. The old doctor has gray hair, but has a rosy face and a slightly fat body. Guo Hongxia's mother looks much older, with many wrinkles on her face and calluses on her hands.
It is not easy to support a daughter who goes to graduate school and a son who is a high school student at home.
In addition to Li Duanyang, Guo Hongxia and Qin Linlin were all attracted by the old doctor's pulse diagnosis method, because the old doctor diagnosed people's pulse with two hands at the same time.
This pulse diagnosis method is called bimanual comparative pulse diagnosis method, or pulse comparison method for short, which is to use both hands to simultaneously diagnose the pulse conditions of the patient's left and right hands, so as to facilitate comparison between the left and right hands and find out any abnormal pulse conditions.
It is an effective pulse diagnosis method.
"Su Wen. Shu Wu Guo Lun" points out: "Those who are good at understanding pulse must use analogy to understand it calmly."
This means that comparison and identification are usually the best way to identify the pulse.
Floating and sinking, slow and fast, slippery and astringent, virtual and solid, long and short, strong and weak, tight and slow, stringy and moist, etc. Many pulse conditions are relative. As long as they are compared, they will naturally change.
It is easy to distinguish the difference between a flat pulse and a diseased pulse, and it is also easier to find out the pulse pattern of "hiding adultery when alone" to diagnose the syndrome.
Using this method of pulse diagnosis, at least it shows that the person diagnosing the pulse is not fooling people.
After diagnosing Guo Hongxia's mother's pulse, the old doctor also conducted tongue diagnosis and interrogation, and then he was about to prescribe medicine for Guo Hongxia's mother.
"Grandpa, my eldest brother hasn't seen grandma yet." Gao Xiaozhu walked to the front.
"Oh?" After hearing this, the old doctor looked at Li Duanyang and the others, and finally focused on Li Duanyang, "Looking at your clothes, you are a Chinese medicine doctor, right?"
He knew that the patient's daughter had brought people to see the patient when Li Duanyang and three others came in from the front and were greeting people. However, seeing that the three of them were too young, he ignored them. He didn't expect that this little girl in front of him would come.
He stopped him from prescribing medicine to the patient.
Li Duanyang stood up and said: "I am a third-year student of Chang'an Traditional Chinese Medicine. My name is Li Duanyang. What is your surname?"
"Zhang Dake." The old doctor said calmly, "You, a junior in college, know how to treat a doctor?"
"My grandpa is the one chosen by my elder brother!" Gao Xiaozhu answered for Li Duanyang.
This little girl felt that her elder brother was being ignored today, so she stood up to stand up for him.
"Xiaozhu." Li Duanyang pulled Gao Xiaozhu, "Don't talk too much."
"What disease did your grandpa have?" Zhang Dake looked at Gao Xiaozhu and asked with a smile.
"My grandfather and I are from Hongni Town. My grandfather's name is... Gao Fuhou!"
Gao Xiaozhu blushed and said, she felt she shouldn't call out her grandfather's name, but in order to protect her elder brother's reputation, she still said her grandfather's name.
"Grandpa, I've seen you, and you even treated my grandpa!" she said again.
"Oh, you are Old Man Gao's little granddaughter, I remembered it!" Zhang Da laughed and said, "Hey, why are you so sharp-tongued now? You are also well-dressed! You look like a handsome girl!
"
When Gao Xiaozhu heard Zhang Dake praising her so much, he suddenly became shy and quickly shrank behind Li Duanyang.
Then Zhang Dake looked at Li Duanyang: "I also heard that Old Man Gao is much better. What? Did you show him? Are you in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital now?"
"I am now an intern in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. I can only say that I participated in the treatment of Uncle Gao." Li Duanyang said with a smile.
"That's also very good. Do you usually give Old Man Gao a massage?" Zhang Dake said.
"Yeah." Li Duanyang said, "Doctor Zhang, don't listen to Xiaozhu. Write your prescription first."
He wanted to see the level of this Dake.
"I'm writing mine so I won't miss your doctor's appointment." Zhang Dake said, picking up the pen and paper and walking aside to make room for Li Duanyang.
He also wanted to weigh up the young man's worth, or rather weigh up the current Chinese medicine doctor's worth to see if he could feel the pulse and see if he could treat people.
Seeing that Zhang Dake was like this, Li Duanyang went over to check Guo Hongxia's mother's pulse, and then followed the procedure and looked at Guo Hongxia's mother's tongue. In fact, when Guo Hongxia's mother stuck out her tongue for Zhang Dake to see, he had already understood it.
He didn't have any desire to show off today. He just wanted to quickly solve Guo Hongxia's mother's problem and rush back to the hospital.
Now he is really busy, so busy that he can't bear to waste the time traveling from Qin's villa to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, so he has been staying at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital during this period.
So he wanted to go through the diagnostic procedure honestly, and then discuss a prescription with Zhang Dake, solve the problem, and then go back to the hospital.
Of course, he only needs to do a pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis now. As for the consultation, he also heard when Zhang Dake asked Guo Hongxia about her mother earlier.
The patient, Liu Meizhen (Guo Hongxia’s mother’s name), was 64 years old and had epigastric distension and pain for more than 20 years.
(Guo Hongxia said that her mother suffered from epigastric distension and pain, but she did not ask about the word "fall". It was Dr. Zhang Dake who asked about it.
Patients often cannot express their symptoms clearly, which requires the doctor's experience and meticulousness during consultation.
Sometimes, the cause and pathogenesis of the disease are completely different with just one word difference.)
20 years ago, Liu Meizhen felt pain and distension in her epigastrium after eating raw and cold food, which later relieved itself. However, later on, she would feel pain and distension in her epigastrium if she did not eat the right food, and this symptom worsened year by year. Later, she started eating normally.
There will also be distending pain in the epigastrium, especially at night, and poor sleep. The body will also gradually lose weight.
In the past month, the symptoms have worsened, with frequent hiccups and fear of cold.
Immediate diagnosis: epigastric distension and pain were obvious, aggravated at night, with occasional hiccups, and eating small meals frequently.
Tired body and weak limbs, lack of energy and laziness, sallow complexion, cold sensitivity, body weight loss, pale lips, dry stool, smooth urination, and poor sleep.
The tongue is light red, the coating is thin and white, and the pulse is thin and weak.
After Li Duanyang made the diagnosis, he was about to discuss it with Zhang Dake, but when he turned to look at Zhang Dake, he saw him looking at him with a smile. Li Duanyang had no intention of discussing the patient's condition with him.
The prescription he wrote was turned upside down on the coffee table.
