Chapter 109 The granddaughter of China's first acupuncture
"So when do you have time every day?"
"I want my grandson to come after school, around 4:30 in the afternoon."
"Okay, then come at 4:30, and I'll wait for you then." Tian Yaoyao said very simply.
"Didn't you get off work at that time? Why is this so embarrassing?"
The middle-aged woman's face immediately showed a look of gratitude and she asked.
"It's okay if I go back early in the evening. I can just wait for you here."
Tian Yaoyao paused and continued: "Stop talking, I will start acupuncture for you."
After saying that, he carefully inserted the silver needle that had been prepared into the Benshen acupuncture point on the middle-aged woman's head.
Seeing her doing this, Zhang Yang immediately began to have a good impression of her.
Although he didn't stay in the hospital for a long time, he knew that these people were quite awesome, and they always stepped back and forth, as if staying in the hospital for an extra minute was a waste of his time.
As the granddaughter of China's number one acupuncturist, Tian Yaoyao seems a bit aloof, but it is still very rare to treat patients so considerately.
"Senior sister..."
As soon as Zhang Yang opened his mouth, he was immediately interrupted by Tian Yaoyao's cold eyes.
"Who let you in?"
"I'm fine, so I came in to learn acupuncture from my senior sister."
Damn it, such a handsome guy stood in the room for a long time and was so nakedly ignored that Zhang Yang felt like he was bursting into tears.
However, considering the obese body of the middle-aged woman, Tian Yaoyao kept bending over to take pulses and perform acupuncture.
It’s normal not to notice yourself when you’re concentrating, and I feel a lot better when I think of this.
"go out."
"I'll just stay for a while." Zhang Yang was stunned. He didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful to him, and said with embarrassment on his face.
"Not even for a minute."
"Can it take half a minute?" Zhang Yang bargained with a wicked smile.
"Director Cai, please come here." Tian Yaoyao's pretty face immediately showed anger and she shouted outside.
"Okay, okay, I'll go out right away." Zhang Yang turned around with a helpless smile and walked out of the hut.
Bang!
The door of the hut was immediately slammed shut.
Damn it, I wouldn't have gone in if you had closed it earlier, Zhang Yang cursed helplessly in his heart.
"Zhang Yang, I forgot to tell you that when our neurology department performs acupuncture on patients, we are not allowed to go in and watch without permission."
Director Cai came over and continued to explain: "The main reason is that the brain nerves are very fragile and require great concentration. If someone interrupts you, accidents may easily occur."
"I understand, Director Cai."
"By the way, in order not to disturb other colleagues' treatment, it's best to turn off your mobile phone."
"Okay, I'll turn it off right now." Although Zhang Yang had no choice but to accept it.
He spent most of the morning watching the doctors in the department busy treating patients, which made him go crazy with boredom.
Even if there is a beautiful woman to entertain his eyes, he is still locked in the room, which makes him feel very unbalanced.
After staying up for more than two hours, the door of the hut finally opened, and the middle-aged woman walked out. Her movements were more agile than before. It was obvious that acupuncture had an effect.
Tian Yaoyao also walked out of the hut after Zhang Yang's repeated calls. After the woman expressed her gratitude, she walked out of the department to go through other procedures.
"Senior sister has superb medical skills and is also a kind-hearted person. I admire her." Zhang Yang walked over and said in a flattering tone.
He has always been more proactive when it comes to beauties. Although he seems a bit arrogant, he doesn't care about it.
The swan is always eaten by the toad, this is what my uncle taught me.
Of course, he didn't think he was a toad, but with his handsomeness and the shameless spirit of a toad, it would be easier to catch up with the swan.
"Smooth talk." Tian Yaoyao rolled her eyes at him, walked to a table with a dark face, sat down, and never looked at him again.
"Okay, now that the department is not busy, I will introduce a new student to you."
It was almost noon, and there was only one patient left in the department. It was just an ordinary facial paralysis, and the acupuncture treatment was relatively simple. Director Cai started to greet everyone.
People in the department immediately gathered around. Zhang Yang took a look and saw that there were six people in total.
"This classmate's name is Zhang Yang, and he was introduced by Dean Guo himself."
"I am very happy to be an intern in our department. Please take care of me."
Zhang Yang responded with a smile and glanced at Tian Yaoyao, only to see disdain on her pretty face.
"Director Cai, doesn't our department never recruit interns?"
Tian Yaoyao glanced at Zhang Yang expressionlessly and continued: "Is it because of Dean Guo that you made an exception?"
"Dean Guo strongly recommends that he come and learn and exercise."
Director Cai blushed and continued: "Zhang Yang also has a certain foundation in acupuncture and is one of the people recommended by the hospital to participate in the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament."
"Participate in the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament?"
"No way, how can a student participate?"
"Yes, at such a young age, even if you are extremely smart, you cannot have any experience."
Several department staff immediately started talking in low voices, almost all with a questioning tone.
"No wonder China has been at the bottom every year in the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament. It turns out that the hospital doesn't take it seriously and even makes fun of China's honor."
Tian Yaoyao's pretty face showed dissatisfaction as she continued: "I don't think there is any need for us to participate this time."
"Yao Yao, you can't say that either."
Director Cai's face immediately darkened and continued: "Zhang Yang also has a certain foundation in acupuncture. Since the hospital recommends it, it must also have plans to apply to the hospital."
Damn, they actually look down on me so much. They don't seem to show off their skills. They really think that I am relying on connections to get by.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Director Cai, I only know a little bit about acupuncture. I just saw Senior Sister Yaoyao acupuncture for a patient. Her technique was very superb, and I admire her very much."
"Nonsense, it goes without saying."
"The true biography of Mr. Tian, the number one acupuncturist in China, can't be wrong."
…
After hearing the discussion in the department, Tian Yaoyao remained expressionless, as if these compliments had nothing to do with her.
"Of course, Yaoyao is also the backbone of our department." Director Cai praised.
"It's just that I have some opinions of my own, and I don't know whether I should express them."
"Okay, it would be an improvement if we all discuss it after saying it!" Director Cai was stunned for a moment, then said generously.
After hearing his opinion, Director Cai was still full of good feelings. After all, it showed that he was studying hard.
He didn't believe that Zhang Yang had any good tricks, but since he brought it up, he, the director, couldn't dissipate his enthusiasm.
"Sister Yaoyao just performed acupuncture on Benshen point and Tianchong point of the patient with cerebral infarction. If she also performs acupuncture on Chengguang point together, the effect will be better."
Although it was just an opinion, Zhang Yang was very sure and had no intention of discussing it.
"Chengguang Point, these words are really unprofessional."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with the Chengguang acupoint. What's the use of acupuncture there?"
…
As soon as the people in the department heard his unprofessional words, they immediately started talking, and some even started to laugh quietly.
"Classmate Zhang Yang, you can read any traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture books. They all have acupuncture methods for cerebral infarction."
Director Cai sighed helplessly, looking very disappointed.
He continued: "The two acupuncture points you mentioned have nothing to do with the treatment of cerebral infarction."
He felt that Zhang Yang's words were too unreliable, and he even began to think that Guo Changshun sent this student here purely because of his personal relationship and asked him to gild it.
After all, the Department of Neurology of Donghai Medical University Affiliated Hospital is very famous throughout Donghai City. If you study and practice here, it will be much easier to find a job after you go out.
When Tian Yaoyao heard what he said, a smile finally appeared on her lips, without any contempt or disdain.
She just thought Zhang Yang was a student and knew nothing about acupuncture.
"I won't read those books because they are the same things."
Zhang Yang ignored their attitude and continued: "Can ordinary people read those books and give acupuncture to patients?"
"Of course that's not the case. Acupuncture requires the accumulation of experience and the teaching of teachers. Books alone are not enough." Director Cai had to admit this.
"If you only follow one acupuncture treatment method, what experience can you accumulate? The teacher teaches the old and the new? Aren't those things the same?"
"This..." Director Cai didn't know what to say.
"If the teacher's thinking is imprisoned, the students' treatment methods and ideas will remain unchanged. The textbook is only a basic introduction. As for later learning and practice, students still need to innovate themselves."
"Are you using the safety of patients to innovate? What should you do if an accident occurs? Isn't this too childish?"
Tian Yaoyao on the side finally couldn't help speaking and refuted his words.
"The reason why traditional Chinese medicine has slow effects is because the combination of medicines and treatment methods have no side effects, and the risks are also very low."
Zhang Yang paused and continued: "The same goes for acupuncture. The relationship between acupuncture points is very subtle. As long as it does not involve critical points and pricks a few more acupoints, there will only be short-term discomfort and no life-threatening consequences."
"You mean, except for the fatal points, would it be better to prick all the patient's acupuncture points?"
Tian Yaoyao's pretty face changed color slightly and she asked with a sneer.
"It's not that the effect is better, but it's not life-threatening."
Zhang Yang continued with a smile: "The reason why acupuncture is selectively performed on acupuncture points is not because of fear of danger, but because if acupuncture is performed on many acupuncture points at the same time, the acupuncture points will refute each other and there will be no therapeutic effect."
After a brief pause, he continued: "The subsequent students all thought that this was the fixed treatment method and the best treatment method, so they restricted their thoughts and had no innovative ideas at all."
"Well, yes, there are indeed reasons for this, including the entire Chinese medicine industry."
After Director Cai pondered for a while, he generously agreed with his statement.
"What you said makes sense, but don't you think the predecessors of traditional Chinese medicine have not experienced innovation?"
Tian Yaoyao's pretty face became even more ugly when she saw that Director Cai agreed with him.
He continued: "Can you deny that these treatment methods are not the best treatment methods they have come up with after a certain amount of experience?" (To be continued)
