National Physician: One Person Supports a Top-Tier Hospital

Why do experts and directors from various top-tier hospitals frequently appear at a community clinic? Why do nationally renowned experts and professors often visit a township-level health center?

Chapter 256: Analysis and Dialectics

Yue Shaojiang also didn't say anything, but his heart was also in turmoil.

The reason why Yue Shaojiang is arrogant and conceited is because he has the capital to be arrogant and conceited.

At the age of 31, he is a doctoral student and will soon be promoted to attending physician. In addition, Yue Shaojiang's clinical level is indeed not low. In recent years, Yue Shaojiang has also cured many patients. Among his peers, few can compare with Yue Shaojiang.

On the other hand, if you think about it, for a top student who always ranks first in the grade in every exam and leaves the second place far behind, it seems that there is nothing wrong with him being a little proud and conceited, right?

Conceit and arrogance are both exclusive to excellent people. Without any capital, how can one talk about arrogance and conceit?

Before coming to the teaching class, Yue Shaojiang really didn't take anyone seriously. He felt that he must be the best among the ten people in the teaching class.

But from yesterday until now, Yue Shaojiang gradually discovered that Yun Heng and Ren Xuedong did not seem as bad as he imagined.

Especially Yun Heng, the abilities he demonstrated in all aspects were truly remarkable.

Yun Heng ignored the other people's expressions and continued, "If the patient's pulse is slippery when taken superficially, it indicates internal stagnation of gallbladder dampness, leading to dryness and bitterness in the mouth. If the pulse is thin and stringy when taken deep, it indicates liver yin deficiency, leading to lower back pain, blurred vision, and insomnia."

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, taking a pulse is not as simple as placing fingers on the wrist. Instead, three fingers are used to take the Cun, Guan, and Chi parts of the patient's wrist respectively. At the same time, the three fingers use light, medium, and heavy strength to feel the patient's pulse.

Correct clinical pulse diagnosis requires a quiet clinic environment to avoid noise that could disturb the doctor. The doctor should also breathe steadily and concentrate while taking the pulse. The pulse is felt differently depending on the force applied. A shallow pulse, easily felt, is considered a floating pulse. A deep pulse, requiring only gravity to feel, is considered a sinking pulse.

When Yun Heng and others first learned to take a pulse at school, they had to be in a quiet environment and the patient had to lie flat. This way, the pulse could be taken more accurately, with fewer mistakes, and the pulse condition was more intuitive for newcomers.

Generally speaking, taking a pulse takes at least three to five minutes. If a doctor takes a pulse for one or two minutes and then starts talking nonsense, he is either a famous doctor or a liar.

Taking the pulse is a basic skill for students of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Yun Heng started practicing it when he was in school, and often practiced with several roommates in the dormitory. After having the simulation space, Yun Heng has been practicing in the simulation space for a long time. In addition, there are enough patients in the community hospital for Yun Heng to treat directly. Yun Heng's pulse taking skills have improved significantly in the past six months.

Therefore, Yun Heng inferred the patient's symptoms based on the patient's pulse and some previous symptoms, and his accuracy was quite high.

"So, judging from the patient's pulse and symptoms, the patient's disease is located in the spleen, and all aspects show signs of spleen and stomach weakness. This should be diagnosed as liver and gallbladder stagnation, spleen and stomach weakness, and insufficient yin and blood..."

Yun Heng gave a summary.

"Doctor, my mother clearly has chronic hepatitis, so why is her spleen and stomach also in trouble? Is there something wrong with both her spleen and stomach?" The patient's daughter was a little confused.

This time, before Yun Heng could explain, Dang Siping hurriedly spoke up, "Don't overthink it. The viscera mentioned in Traditional Chinese Medicine are not the same as those in modern medicine. There are differences but also connections between the two. Just like how both Chinese and Western medicine agree that the liver plays an important role in regulating blood circulation, but when it comes to function, Traditional Chinese Medicine says 'the liver is on the left.' However, anyone with common sense knows that the liver is primarily located in the right upper abdomen, roughly between the fifth and fifth intercostal spaces on the right midclavicular line. This completely contradicts Traditional Chinese Medicine's view."

Dang Si calmed his breath and continued, "In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver, like the other four internal organs, is closely related to human emotions. For example, the heart governs joy, the liver governs anger, the lungs govern sadness, the spleen governs thought, and the kidneys govern fear."

"The five internal organs complement and restrain each other, and in traditional Chinese medicine, the pathology of any one organ is not so simple. It is possible that liver disease is caused by certain factors in the kidneys, or it may be caused by certain factors in the spleen. Similarly, liver disease can also affect other organs..."

Yun Heng glanced at Dang Siping and felt a little more admiration for Ji Fengwen. Ji Fengwen was indeed very good at judging people.

Because of the series of blows he suffered yesterday, Yue Shaojiang is no longer in the limelight today. However, Dang Siping jumped out in a hurry at this moment. In fact, it was a manifestation of his eagerness to show himself. Just as Ji Fengwen said, Dang Siping is proud in his heart, but unlike Yue Shaojiang, who showed it outwardly, Dang Siping showed it inwardly.

Now that I think about it, Ji Fengwen’s analysis last night was indeed helpful for Yun Heng to complete the task of publishing the panel.

Different people and different personalities require different methods.

"Well, that's all very good."

Ji Fengwen was quite satisfied with the performance of Yun Heng and Dang Siping.

Relatively speaking, Yun Heng's and Dang Siping's personalities don't actually have any major flaws. Compared to Yue Shaojiang, Ji Fengwen is more satisfied with the performances of Yun Heng and Dang Siping.

"Yun Heng's analysis is quite good, and Dang Siping's supplement is completely correct. Looking at you young faces, I see the future and hope of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Ji Fengwen said with emotion, "Although there are mediocre practitioners in Traditional Chinese Medicine right now, such as those who previously prescribed heat-clearing, dampness-removing and detoxifying medicines to their patients, there are also outstanding young people like you. You are the hope for the future of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
