Pulse diagnosis in Chinese medicine is quite difficult. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how difficult you ask any Chinese medicine student, they will tell you that pulse diagnosis is the most profound of all physical examination methods in Chinese medicine.
Where is the profundity?
If you read ancient Chinese medicine books, you will find that various descriptions of pulse diagnosis can only be understood but cannot be quantified, unlike Western medicine which has specific numerical indicators.
This causes each Chinese medicine practitioner to feel the patient's pulse and arrive at different medical conclusions.
If you have to ask a traditional Chinese medicine doctor which pulse is easiest to feel, a layperson might not think of it. It is not the floating pulse due to qi deficiency, liver stagnation and stringy pulse that people often talk about - it is the pregnancy pulse.
There have been more than one such case in clinical practice.
A female patient did not complain of stomachache and came to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to seek prescriptions for recuperating her body. The traditional Chinese medicine doctor took the female patient's pulse and diagnosed that she most likely had an ectopic pregnancy. She then performed B-ultrasound examinations to confirm the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine.
The diagnosis is correct.
At this time, both the patient and the Western medicine doctor will most likely be able to express with an exclamation point: Chinese medicine is so amazing.
The typical pregnancy pulse is special and relatively easy to feel. It can be said to be the introductory way for many students in traditional Chinese medicine schools to learn pulse.
Through the pregnancy pulse, Chinese medicine students can know: Oh, this turns out to be called the Hua pulse.
These situations are enough to show that it is as difficult as it is to feel the patient's pulse for many different pulse conditions by using the touch of the fingers.
Therefore, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is such an unwritten evaluation rule. Whether a traditional Chinese medicine doctor is a real expert can only be determined by the extent of his/her pulse diagnosis skills.
The Western medicine doctors at the scene had not heard of such rumors about traditional Chinese medicine. They all looked at the only traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Dr. Wen Zihan, taking the patient's pulse. They were most likely waiting to see if Dr. Wen Zihan had the rumored skills, and whether it was Wu Lixuan.
Those patients helped her brag, and they will probably come to a conclusion when her pulse diagnosis results come out.
After waiting for a while, the patient's condition was so urgent that the doctor could not allow the doctor to treat him slowly, which would probably take a minute or two.
If you are a Western doctor, you can at least count the patient's pulse rate per minute by feeling the pulse during this period of time.
If you are a cardiologist, you can preliminarily check the patient's pulse to see if there are any arrhythmias such as premature beats.
In short, based on anatomy, Western medicine has determined that the pulse is the pulsation response of an artery of the patient. Although it is connected to the patient's circulatory system, its beating pattern should only be closely related to the function of the heart as a blood pump.
Therefore, doctors of Western medicine have never believed in the evil of pulse diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine.
Wen Zihan took his pulse-diagnosing hand away from the patient's wrist, raised his head and said to other colleagues: "Maybe the cause of the disease is not a cerebrovascular problem."
"what is the problem?"
A group of Western medicine doctors showed serious doubts on their faces.
You must know that this preliminary diagnosis conclusion came from several doctors on site. Many of these doctors were big bosses, which meant that she would slap the big bosses in the face if she said otherwise. "I just felt that his pulse was Xianmai. It needs to be
Rule out whether he is suffering from hepatic coma." Wen Zihan said.
What!
There are hepatobiliary surgeons and gastroenterologists on site.
"Hey, didn't you see that he was in hepatic coma?" Shen Youhuan immediately turned around and shouted to several junior juniors and juniors.
"The family did not say that he had a history of liver disease." Jiang Mingzhu was the first to respond.
