Xiao Chen could only sit there and drink tea. About ten weeks later, Xiao Chen and the others saw the fourth aunt pushing an old man over in a wheelchair.
This old man looked to be over eighty years old, and he looked very skinny.
Who is this old man?
Xiao Chen definitely didn't recognize him, but he probably could tell something about the old man's face.
Chen Qian was not familiar with her fourth aunt at all, so she had no idea who this old man was.
"Dr. Xiao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." The fourth aunt's Mandarin is not bad, she is very fluent and can communicate well.
"Fourth aunt, don't you know this is your father?"
"You actually saw it?"
The fourth aunt was surprised that the young man actually guessed that the old man she was pushing was her father.
"I know how to read faces."
After the fourth aunt pushed the old man in, Xiao Chen soon understood why the fourth aunt wanted him to come over. There was really a reason.
This old man, nearly eighty years old, is the fourth concubine's father, and her father was a councilor in a district in Haojiang before the selection. It was also when her father dealt with the gambling king that he met the fourth concubine.
Now that the fourth aunt has brought her father here to raise her too early, she must have no worries about food and clothing in terms of material things.
However, as people get older, diseases and illnesses begin to increase.
Even if the fourth aunt is very rich and can hire many famous doctors, her wealth may not necessarily allow these famous doctors to cure her father's illness.
Her father developed left-sided trigeminal neuralgia ten years ago, when he was nearly 70 years old. It improved after treatment, but reoccurred again the year after.
Now, a week ago, I had pain on the left side of my face with no obvious cause. After seeing other doctors, it didn't work. Now I just ask my family health doctor to look at it.
When the fourth aunt went to the hospital to visit her husband today, she learned that her husband only received two acupuncture sessions under Dr. Xiao's treatment, and the effect was so obvious. She also met Xiao Chen and Chen Qian having lunch, and she happened to invite Xiao Chen.
come over.
When Xiao Chen examined the father of his fourth concubine, he found that the old man now had facial pain on the left side of his face that was recurring and lasting for tens of minutes each time. He had poor sleep and poor appetite.
After Xiao Chen checked the old man's condition, Xiao Chen also learned that the old man had coronary heart disease for 30 years, so in his case, based on the examination just now and the dialectical diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, we can know that this is facial rheumatic pain.
This is a condition where liver yang is overactive and wind-heat is disturbing.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called facial wind pain is caused by evils such as wind-cold and wind-heat attacking the facial meridians, or internal heat due to yin deficiency in the body, stasis of phlegm and meridian compression, etc.
In Western medicine, this is called trigeminal neuralgia.
Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common cranial nerve disease, characterized by recurrent paroxysmal severe pain in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve on one side of the face. The domestic incidence rate is 5.
/100,000, slightly more women than men, and the incidence rate increases with age.
Trigeminal neuralgia mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, more often on the right side than on the left side.
The disease is characterized by sudden onset, sudden cessation, lightning-like, knife-like, burning-like, intractable, and unbearable severe pain in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve on the head and face.
Talking, washing your face, brushing your teeth, or feeling the breeze on your face, or even walking can cause severe paroxysmal pain. The pain lasts for seconds or minutes, and the pain occurs periodically, and the intervals between attacks are the same as for normal people.
The old gentleman is already quite old, and his physical condition is declining rapidly in all aspects, so the cold and evil poisons from outside can easily invade his body.
The old man's condition has been going on for ten years, and has been repeated over and over again, but has not been cured. This is a difficult and complicated disease that is difficult to treat.
Seeing Xiao Chen read it to her father, with no change in her expression, the fourth aunt asked hurriedly: "Doctor Xiao, don't you know about my father's condition?"
"Fourth aunt, your father's condition is a difficult and complicated disease, but if you take the right medicine, it cannot be cured."
"Really? How can my father be treated?"
"Acupuncture, acupuncture is the fastest. As for taking medicine, you can do it too."
"Then let's do acupuncture."
Judging from the treatment Xiao Chen gave her husband, the fourth concubine believed in Xiao Chen's acupuncture skills.
When Xiao Chen took out the cloth bag he carried with him and took out the silver needle inside, neither the fourth concubine nor Chen Qian expected that Xiao Chen actually carried the silver needle with him.
"My silver needle was given to me by my master. I carry it with me everywhere to treat illnesses and save people."
In addition to this, Xiao Chen also brought yellow paper, but he did not use that mysterious medical technique to treat the fourth aunt.
Xiao Chen's silver needles have been sterilized and are now directly giving acupuncture to the fourth aunt's old father.
According to the TCM dialectics just discussed, wind and heat should be dispelled and the liver and kidneys should be harmonized.
The common acupuncture technique used is Hegu on the healthy side to induce cooling and diarrhea, which can cause a cooling sensation or a running sensation on the side of the patient's face.
Of course, this is a common acupuncture technique used by veteran Chinese medicine practitioners, but what makes Xiao Chen different from others is that he also uses spiritual energy, and is still using Qi to control the needles, so the effect will definitely be more obvious.
Xiao Chen made it clear to the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt spoke to her father in the vernacular. After the old father understood, he began to take the initiative to ask Xiao Chen for treatment.
After all, not everyone can bear this kind of facial wind pain.
What's more, this young man seems to be really not simple now.
Xiao Chen started treatment there, and he felt cyan gas coming out along with the silver needle. This should be wind poison.
Moreover, this should still be a cold wind.
After all, it is the coldest time in the south in winter, and it is very normal for cold poison to invade the old man's face, causing him to have facial rheumatic pain.
After Xiao Chen finally finished the acupuncture after spending almost half an hour, took out the silver needle, and took back the bag, the fourth concubine looked at her father and asked, "Father, how do you feel now?"
"It seems like it really doesn't hurt anymore."
so fast?
The fourth aunt couldn't believe it.
The fourth aunt looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Dr. Xiao, is this acupuncture really that good?"
"It's not bad. According to the old man's condition, with a maximum of three acupuncture sessions, his symptoms will completely disappear and he will no longer have facial rheumatic pain in the future."
Acupuncture three times?
Can her old father fully recover from his illness in three times?
Dr. Xiao’s medical skills are so amazing!
If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that other doctors, including famous doctors, are freeloaders? Spending so much money has no effect at all.
Now Xiao Chen can be cured easily.
Although the gambling king often told her before that with such a large population in mainland China, there must be many experts, so don’t underestimate the mainlanders. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of people in Haojiang, the mainland’s more than one billion people are indeed very many.
, However, the fourth aunt still did not believe what the gambling king said. Now, this young doctor has almost cured her father of ten years of difficult and complicated diseases by simply treating him. (To be continued)
