Chapter 72: Certification required
Because the barefoot doctor type basic assessment, the questions are relatively simple, the most difficult questions are to give a treatment plan based on the patient's pulse and symptoms.
This was completely a piece of cake for Ye Qing. She even wrote down many methods based on the pulse and symptoms. Not only did she fill up the entire test paper, she also added an extra answer sheet on top.
After writing down her answers densely, Ye Qing neither asked the opinions of the old men supervising the exam behind her nor cared about the mood of the other candidates in the examination room. She picked up her answer sheet, stood up and put it on the podium, then walked out without looking back, leaving without a trace of elegance.
"Hey hey hey."
The old men were still quietly discussing which of the prescriptions in one of the big questions Ye Qing had just answered was the more rigorous. They thought that even if Ye Qing finished writing the answer sheet, she would at least check it before handing it in. No one expected that this little girl would be so wild. She grabbed the test paper, threw it on the stage and left without even saying hello.
Now it was the old men's turn to be dumbfounded, and they hurriedly chased after him. Dean Gu also quickly took Ye Qing's test paper from the stage, and then followed him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Qing walked very fast and was about to turn the corner at the stairs when he was caught up by a few old men.
"You are a little girl with short arms and legs, but you can walk so fast! There is no ghost chasing you, why are you walking so fast?"
An old man complained unhappily.
Ye Qing: ??? First of all, I didn’t offend any of you, so it’s inappropriate for you to start with personal attacks, right?
The old men seemed not to notice the resentment in Ye Qing's eyes and directly asked Ye Qing why he had written several solutions for the second to last question on the test paper.
Ye Qing didn't quite understand what the question was, so she said directly:
"Because of that big question, the amount of information provided is limited. Without seeing the patient's detailed medical history, without having a specific understanding of the patient's family and surrounding environment, and his living conditions, and without having a face-to-face conversation with the patient and asking for the patient's personal needs and wishes, the treatment plan cannot be finalized."
"The three options I gave, whether it was traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine or a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, were all filled in with answers based on the information provided in the questions. However, in the actual consultation process, doctors need to make specific analyses based on specific situations. Medical diagnosis is not a rote reading. Each person's situation is different, so the solutions given are also different."
Ye Qing's explanation surprised the old men.
Dean Gu's eyes were burning: "What do you mean by specific analysis of specific situations? Can you give me an example?"
Ye Qing looked at the old man who had just said that she had short arms and legs, smiled brightly at him, and pointed at him and said:
"For example, this old man has a problem with his leg joints and cannot walk well, so he comes to the hospital for treatment."
The old man stumbled suddenly.
Although Ye Qing smiled very beautifully and there was nothing wrong with the analogy she just gave, for some reason, he inexplicably felt that the example given by the girl was not well-intentioned, as if it was deliberately targeting him.
The old man opened his mouth to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Dean Gu spoke first:
“This disease is very common, then what?”
Ye Qing smiled and stated his own viewpoint in a very sharp and clear manner:
"If the patient has no children, no formal job, and the family conditions are not very good, and the patient requests conservative treatment without surgery, then my advice is to use traditional Chinese medicine to slowly regulate the disease."
"Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture takes a little longer to take effect, but the treatment is gentle and less expensive."
"If he has two children and a wealthy family and doesn't care about the cost, and just wants to have surgery immediately and be able to walk, jump and jump in a short time, then Western medicine and surgery are definitely more suitable for him."
"However, surgical operations are risky. There is a possibility of failure during the operation, a certain chance of infection and morbidity after the operation, and sequelae that may occur many years later. These are risks that cannot be predicted in advance during surgical operations, and patients need to be informed of them in advance and bear them themselves."
"Of course there is another type. The patient does not have such a strong personal wish. As long as the disease can be cured, any method is acceptable. And if the patient is highly compliant with the doctor's requirements, my suggestion is to combine Chinese and Western medicine."
"The human body is like a machine's spare parts. If you can use the original parts, it is best not to replace them. Otherwise, if you change one part, another part will not match, and the performance may be greatly reduced."
“No matter how skilled a surgeon is, he cannot guarantee that the patient’s body tissues will remain the same after the operation. So I think it is very necessary to combine Chinese and Western medicine.”
"We should not blindly worship Western medicine, nor can we arbitrarily deny Chinese medicine. How to combine the advantages of the two is the most effective and best way for patients."
Previously, when Ye Qing performed a ruptured spleen surgery on Li Yunbo at Jiaotan County Hospital, he used flying needles to assist. The effect during the operation was undoubtedly very significant. The patient did not suffer too much pain, and his recovery after the operation was also very good.
It was because of this incident that Dean Gu saw Ye Qing as a special talent. After the operation, he talked to Ye Qing twice. The concept that Ye Qing explained to him has always been to support the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
Although this young girl is young, she has unique insights and clear views. She neither rejects Western medicine nor belittles or vilifies Chinese medicine. She only insists on exploring and combining the strengths of both Chinese and Western medicine. She actually does this herself and even has a certain personal style in combining Chinese and Western medicine.
It is because of this uniqueness that Dean Gu enthusiastically supports Dr. Xiao Ye among his circle of colleagues and friends, and vigorously promotes and praises the concept of combining Chinese and Western medicine.
Thanks to Dean Gu's hard work behind the scenes, several senior staff members from the county and municipal hospitals became very interested in Ye Qing.
So, after learning that Ye Qing was going to the County Health Bureau to take the basic medical assessment, these old men volunteered to come to Jiaotan County. They wanted to meet this doctor Xiao Ye, who Dean Gu said might bring about a great earthquake in the entire Xia country's medical community.
Unexpectedly, the first time we met, Ye Qing was using the Heimlich maneuver to save a three-year-old child with a foreign object stuck in his throat in the corridor outside the examination room. The key point was that when several old men were sweating for her, she actually solved such a big problem easily.
At that time, the Heimlich maneuver had not yet been invented. Naturally, these old men had never seen this method used to rescue people who were suffocated by foreign objects. They were astonished for a moment, and their expectations of Ye Qing were instantly raised to the maximum.
As expected, Ye Qing did not disappoint the old men afterwards. They watched the little girl answer the test paper the whole time. There was nothing much to say about the objective questions. She finished answering them in just a few minutes, and all the answers were correct.
These were mainly subjective questions, and the answers she gave were not all ordinary. Not only did she have several solutions to one question, but on some controversial issues, the answers she gave were completely beyond the expectations of the old men. Some of the answers were so strange that they had nothing to do with the questions at all, leaving people completely puzzled.
But when these old men raised questions, Ye Qing was able to give explanations, and they were all based on scientific evidence and sounded very reasonable.
Several old men were convinced by Ye Qing. They were all speechless, with shock evident on their faces.
If this had happened thirty years ago, they would have tried their best to worship this little girl as their teacher. She is too strong. She is only sixteen years old. What will happen to this little girl in another ten or twenty years?
No wonder Gu Changqing, the old-fashioned man who usually looks down on everyone, gets so excited every time he mentions this little girl. He even claims that this little girl is very likely to shake up the medical industry in Xia Country in the future and completely reverse the current situation of hostility between Chinese and Western medicine.
Before they came, these old men were unconvinced and deeply skeptical, but now, after a brief contact and test with Ye Qing, these old men had to admit that Gu Changqing was right. This little girl was indeed very powerful. If she continued to follow her style and path, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine would become a major trend in the domestic medical industry in the future.
Dean Gu's visit to the County Health Bureau this time was, of course, not just to accompany these old men to find out Ye Qing's background, he also had another purpose.
"I have a patient here, he is my old neighbor, his situation is quite special, not only me, but also my old friends have never figured out what is going on. It just so happens that you are here today, I would like to ask you to help and see if you can provide some new ideas."
Difficult and complicated cases? Ye Qing had been in this strange time and space for some time and had come into contact with many cases, but this was the first time she had come across a case that so many senior experts in the hospital found difficult to diagnose, so Dean Gu's words instantly piqued Ye Qing's interest.
"Where is the patient?" Ye Qing asked impatiently.
Dean Gu shook his head and said, "The patient is not here, but I brought his physical examination report and related pulse. I can orally describe the symptoms to you."
As he spoke, Dean Gu pulled out a stack of papers from the briefcase at his side and handed them to Ye Qing.
Seeing this thick stack of medical examination reports and pulse records, Ye Qing was stunned.
There were dozens of documents in total. Ye Qing quickly flipped through them. The contents of all the reports were basically the same. This patient had undergone full-body examinations no less than twenty times. He went to all hospitals, big and small, and even to top hospitals in big cities such as Jicheng and Shencheng. He saw a specialist, but the results showed that the patient was in good health and had no problems.
In addition, Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis was unable to find any problems. More than a dozen pulse cases were similar, and the conclusions given by the Chinese medicine doctors were consistent with the results of the physical examination report.
This made Ye Qing very puzzled and puzzled.
"I don't quite understand. From the data, the patient is healthy and there is nothing wrong with him."
Ye Qing raised his head and looked at these old men. He didn't know why they all felt that this case was very difficult.
"Why did he have to undergo so many physical examinations and see so many experts? Was he dissatisfied with the answers given by the hospital, or was he unwilling to believe the results? Was he not satisfied until he found out what disease he had?"
Nowadays, formal workers in the city can enjoy free basic medical insurance services, but if you encounter a serious illness, you still need to spend money, especially for those who go to various hospitals even if they are not sick, or even go out of the province to see a doctor. The cost is definitely not a small amount.
What exactly is the reason that made this patient undergo so many physical examinations and seek so many specialist appointments, even at the cost of a lot of money, connections, and time?
Ye Qing had a vague guess that this patient might not have a physical problem, but rather some psychological issue?
But at that time, there was not even the concept of mental illness in the country, nor was there any discipline related to psychiatry. If there was really a psychological problem, it would be troublesome. After all, finding a professional psychologist in the country to diagnose and treat it at that time would be harder than climbing to the sky.
However, as soon as Ye Qing had this idea, it was rejected by Dean Gu.
"After going through so much trouble, my friend has developed a fear of hospitals and doesn't even want to hear the word hospital."
"However, my friend's spouse insisted that he go to the hospital for a check-up. It's been almost two years, but unfortunately, no hospital has been able to find out the cause of his illness."
Ye Qing immediately grasped the key point:
"Cause? Wait, what do you mean, is your friend really sick? Has he got any symptoms?"
Dean Gu nodded:
"The first time it happened was two years ago. He had unbearable abdominal pain and dizziness. He came to Jiaotan County People's Hospital to ask me to diagnose him. I couldn't find any problems at the time. He thought he was too tired during that time and had a cold in his abdomen, so he didn't take it seriously."
"There was a gap of more than half a year, and at the end of last year, I suddenly started to get sick again."
"This time, in addition to severe abdominal pain, I also had intermittent fainting episodes, which lasted for several hours before I woke up."
"After this incident, his family members started to get nervous, especially his wife. For the past six months, they took him to various hospitals for physical examinations. They went to various hospitals, big and small, to see specialists. They went to all kinds of hospitals. But as you can see, the specialists gave a lot of diagnosis results, but they couldn't find anything."
Ye Qing finally understood what was going on. There were obvious symptoms but no disease could be found in the body. This was the first time she had seen such a situation, and it sounded quite interesting.
"Has the patient had any relapses in the past six months?"
Ye Qing couldn't help but ask another key question.
Dean Gu nodded:
"There was another case of him fainting in April or May in the first half of this year, but this time his family was there and they quickly noticed that he had fainted on the ground. They pinched his Ren Zhong point to wake him up and sent him to the hospital."
"But you can see that even in the earliest case of his illness, the hospital did not find any abnormalities in his body."
This is very strange. Logically speaking, with such serious symptoms, there must be something wrong. But why can't it be found?
“Is it because the equipment is not advanced enough?”
Ye Qing suspected that there was a problem with the testing equipment.
After all, it was only the early 1970s, and it was an indisputable fact that domestic medical equipment was backward. But if the problem was with the testing machine, Ye Qing was obviously powerless to do anything.
Dean Gu shook his head: "If it is a problem with the equipment, they also went to the big hospitals in Jicheng and Shencheng, why didn't they find out? Aren't the medical equipment in Jicheng and Shencheng advanced enough?"
Ye Qing secretly complained in his heart: At this moment, even the medical equipment from Jicheng and Shencheng has not been delivered anywhere yet.
But Dean Gu was right. If the problem could not be found in Jicheng and Shencheng, then there was no need to worry about places like Jiaotan County where the medical equipment was even more backward.
"President Gu, seniors, you have all read this document. Do you have any doubts?"
Ye Qing wanted to seek the opinions of these old men first.
But the old men all shook their heads like rattles:
"We don't even know where his symptoms come from, so we have no idea where to start."
Ye Qing looked at the thick stack of medical examination reports and pulse records and did not dare to jump to any conclusion. This was such a fresh case and she had never encountered it before. Ye Qing must be very interested. She was originally in a hurry to leave, but now she was no longer in a hurry to go back.
"Director Gu, where is the patient from? Is it convenient for me to go and see him?"
Dean Gu was a little surprised by Ye Qing's words: "Are you going to go to his house to treat him in person?"
Ye Qing nodded: "The patient's condition is very complicated at first glance. To be honest, I only trust my own eyes and my own hands. I can only use other people's diagnostic data as a reference. If I really want to judge the patient's condition, I must personally perform the operation before I can draw a conclusion. Before seeing the patient in person, any inference may be wrong."
Dean Gu was very appreciative and satisfied with Ye Qing's attitude.
This child is not only gifted, but also does not have the bad habit of being arrogant and conceited. When she sees these difficult and complicated diseases, her eyes shine like stars. She is really interested in studying the diseases. She does not think that it is condescending and embarrassing for her to go to the patients for treatment in person. Her tone is so casual, as if she is visiting someone's home.
Regardless of how good his medical skills are, his character of being indifferent to fame, wealth, and not being surprised by fame or disgrace is already better than 80% of practitioners in the medical field.
"My friend lives in the county. If you want to see him, I can take you there. But because he has been going to many places for checkups over the past year or two, his temper has become a little irritable. If he loses his temper when he sees us, please be considerate."
In order to prevent Ye Qing from being embarrassed and being scolded by his friends when he went there, and the child would be sad and think too much, Gu Changqing gave Ye Qing a preventive shot first.
In later lives, Ye Qing had seen all kinds of scenes. Even though the whole world was in chaos at the end of the world and people were dying everywhere, there were still people who went to the hospital and treated doctors as waiters, ordering them around and doing whatever they wanted. There were also many who would directly threaten the doctors with knives when they were not satisfied.
Therefore, Ye Qing was basically immune to the old dean's words. No matter how much the patient's temperament changed, it would not have much impact on her.
"Please lead the way." Ye Qing smiled and gestured to Dean Gu.
Dean Gu was about to leave when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He still had the answer sheet Ye Qing had just handed in in his hand. He quickly signaled to Ye Qing:
"Wait a minute."
With that, Dean Gu went downstairs and walked towards another office building of the Health Bureau. He waited for about ten minutes. When he came out, the old dean had a palm-sized blue booklet in his hand.
When the booklet was handed over, Ye Qing saw the six big words "Practicing Barefoot Doctor" on the booklet at a glance.
She quickly reached out and took the booklet.
When I opened it, I saw her name, gender, age and address written on the first page. Because there were no high-tech products such as printers in that era, certificates and other things were basically handwritten.
In addition, in the section about practicing barefoot doctor, she specifically wrote that her specialties are traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and surgery. There are still several blank lines at the end, which are probably left blank to be filled.
The certificate is stamped with a very obvious steel seal, proving that it cannot be forged.
Holding this certificate officially issued by the Health Bureau, Ye Qing felt indescribably excited. It had been nearly a month since she came to this era, and she finally had a new identity recognized by the authorities. She could now go to work with the certificate!
Seeing Ye Qing's grin, Dean Gu was also very happy:
"It's just a certificate, and you're still a barefoot doctor. Is it worth it for you to be so happy? With your ability, you can definitely take the exam to become a licensed doctor. If you are not too old, it would only take you a few minutes to get the license."
Although she said so, Ye Qing didn't think it was a good idea to take such a big step all at once. She still preferred to take things slowly and steadily step by step.
Besides, she didn't think this barefoot doctor's license was shabby at all. With this thing, her position as the director of the Kaoshantun Health Station would be unbreakable and no one could shake it. From now on, she could walk around Hongqi Commune with her head held high!
Fearing that the ID might be lost, Ye Qing quickly hid it in the pocket of his bag, and then said to Dean Gu:
"Let's go meet your friend."
As a result, when she arrived at the door of the Health Bureau, she saw Gu Weidong and Li Yong leaning against a tractor and chatting, obviously waiting for her to finish the exam.
Seeing Ye Qing coming out, Gu Weidong walked over first and asked, "How's it going?"
Ye Qing immediately laughed: "Is there anything I can't accomplish?"
However, she pointed to the old men behind her and said briefly,
"I've come across a difficult patient. I plan to go with a few seniors to check on him. Why don't you and Brother Li go back to Kaoshantun first? I don't know what the situation is here yet, and I'm not sure if I can go back today."
If he just wanted to go and take a look, he would definitely be able to catch the bus back to town in the afternoon, so there would be no problem for Ye Qing to go back to Kaoshantun alone.
But what Ye Qing meant was that he might need to stay in the county or even spend the night. How could Gu Weidong feel comfortable letting him go back alone?
So he immediately said, "Then let Li Yong go back first. I'm on vacation now anyway, and I don't have much to do in Kaoshantun. It's just the same if I accompany you to finish your work and then go back."
Ye Qing wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought that it was Gu Weidong who volunteered to ask Wu Yongbing for the permission to send her to take the exam. If he went back alone, he would not be able to explain to the leaders of the production team.
So she didn't insist anymore and nodded to agree to Gu Weidong's arrangement.
Gu Weidong said a few words to Li Yong, who immediately drove away on the tractor. Ye Qing wanted to stretch her neck to see what was in the tractor, but in the end she couldn't even see what her bicycle looked like.
"I asked Li Yong to deliver the goods directly to the village. You will see them when you get home."
Seeing Ye Qing standing on tiptoe and looking curiously towards the tractor, Gu Weidongton found it funny and hurriedly explained.
Ye Qing curled his lips, a little disappointed, but at this time Dean Gu was already urging him, so Ye Qing no longer thought about it. He quickly called Gu Weidong and went there.
Seeing Ye Qing coming back with a young boy, several old men looked at him curiously.
However, Gu Weidong and Ye Qing's words and actions were frank and natural, and there was nothing inappropriate or ambiguous about them, so the old men were not sure whether this gay man was Ye Qing's partner.
Ye Qing only briefly introduced Gu Weidong's name without giving much explanation, because her focus at the moment was on the patient friend mentioned by Dean Gu, and her mind was only focused on thinking about this case, so she didn't even realize that while she was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, those old men stared at her and Gu Weidong back and forth many times.
Although they are all seniors in the medical field, they are quite simple and unpretentious. They don't do anything special when traveling and just take the bus.
Fortunately, there were only a few bus lines in the county at that time, and there were not many cars on the road, so there was no traffic jam. So in less than half an hour, we arrived at the friend's house that Dean Gu mentioned.
It was a single-family house made of green bricks, with a yard surrounded by a row of rusty iron fences. One could see a variety of vegetables planted in the yard, which looked quite simple. It was hard to imagine that such a family would go to hospitals all over the country to seek medical treatment.
However, when Dean Gu knocked on the door and someone came out, Ye Qing was stunned:
"Hey, Director?"
That's right, the man who came out was none other than the director of the Jiaotan County Public Security Bureau, He Lianshan, whom Ye Qing had met not long ago.
He Lianshan was obviously a little surprised: "Xiaoye, educated youth, why are you here?"
Ye Qing pointed at Dean Gu beside him and said, "I came here with these seniors."
As soon as He Lianshan saw Dean Gu, he knew what these people were here for and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Uncle Gu, my dad has already said that you are not welcome in my yard from now on."
Dean Gu didn't care at all: "He said he wanted to break off relations with me a long time ago, and he even put up a sign on the fence saying 'Gu Changqing and dogs are not allowed to enter'. Just let him write something childish, and see who will be embarrassed."
Dean Gu didn't care what expression He Lianshan had. He led the people behind him into the yard and shouted as he walked in:
"Lao He, I'm here again. Have you had lunch yet? If not, make more. I brought a few mouths here, so I'll need a few more pairs of chopsticks for lunch!"
Curses were immediately heard from inside:
"You've become addicted to eating and drinking at my house, right? I told you not to come to my house anymore, but you took my words for granted, didn't you? Go back to your own house, I'm annoyed when I see you!"
Just as he reached the door, an enamel pot flew out of the house. Gu Changqing seemed to have expected it. He stretched out his hand to catch the enamel pot, then walked in with a calm expression.
An elderly couple in their sixties with gray hair were sitting in the room. When they saw Dean Gu coming, the old man became very angry and irritable, but the old lady next to him was very happy. She was busy serving tea and water to several people, and even instructed her son to go to the street to order some big dishes from the state-owned hotel.
Seeing He Lianshan hurriedly running out to buy groceries after receiving the old lady's instructions, Ye Qing then realized that the patient who had left the elders helpless was actually He Lianshan's father.
After a few people sat down, Mr. He naturally got angry again, and was even more critical of Gu Changqing, not saying a single good word.
However, several people had received vaccinations before coming here, so when they saw Mr. He getting emotional, everyone was able to remain calm.
After the old man finally calmed down, Dean Gu explained his purpose and pointed at Ye Qing beside him:
"This girl is a female educated youth who just came to Jiaotan County to work in the countryside this year. She has received guidance from an expert and has her own set of medical experience and methods. She has her own style of treatment, which is different from our old-fashioned methods. So I thought of bringing her here to try. Maybe she can see something about you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. He, who had calmed down, immediately became angry again. His face turned red, and he suddenly stood up from his seat and was about to curse.
But what no one expected was that at the moment he was about to open his mouth to spit out the fragrance, a silver needle flew out, penetrated through the clothes and directly pierced the old man's Tianshu acupoint.
The old man just felt a numbness in his abdomen and fell back into his seat.
The next second, the anger that had just surged up in his heart suddenly deflated like a punctured ball, and he became strangely quiet on the spot.
No one was prepared for this. Even the old couple were startled. Everyone looked towards Ye Qing.
"There's something wrong with his sudden temper. It doesn't seem like he wants to lose his temper, but rather it seems like he's affected by his illness."
"Emotions are out of control. Either they are affected by the nerves, or there is something wrong with the internal organs. No matter which one it is, it is correct to acupuncture the Tianshu point for such a strong temper. Let the patient calm down first. When his emotions are calm and all parts of his body are in normal condition, I can take his pulse."
Ye Qing explained it as if it was a matter of course, as if she didn't notice how strange the looks people gave her were.
How could it not be weird? The little girl was sitting at least two or three meters away from old man He. She just flew a needle without even saying hello. The key point is that from such a long distance, a soft silver needle flew out like this and could actually be directly and accurately pierced into the Tianshu acupoint of old man He through his clothes. Isn't it ridiculous? Isn't it ridiculous?
Previously, Gu Changqing had repeatedly emphasized that Ye Qing was good at flying needles, and had also boasted about how amazing Ye Qing's flying needle skills were. The other old men had no idea about this, and they always felt that no matter how much he boasted about it, it was still just traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, so how great could it be?
But at this moment, after seeing what Ye Qing had just done, all the old men shut up.
Looking at the silver needle still trembling in the old man's abdomen, several self-righteous old men couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly, and finally realized how wrong they were.
This girl's flying needles and traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture may be from the same source, but they are definitely not the same thing!
Old man He opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Qing with a look of surprise and suspicion. He was obviously also confused by the needle that Ye Qing had just thrown at him.
Others were only stimulated visually, but he was the only one who could truly feel the tremendous changes in his body.
Just by inserting a needle, the evil spirit that came from nowhere disappeared instantly, and even his whole body seemed to feel comfortable and relaxed. How could this not shock and surprise old man He?
He subconsciously reached out his hand and wanted to touch the needle in his stomach.
But before he could touch the needle, Ye Qing stopped him: "Don't move!"
Old Man He froze for a moment, his hand stretched out in the air, not knowing whether to continue or put it down.
Ye Qing's expression was rather solemn. He stared at the needle intently and didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing that Ye Qing's expression was not right, Dean Gu noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly:
"Xiao Ye, what's wrong? Did you see something?"
Ye Qing pointed at the flying needle that was still trembling:
"The needle is still moving."
Several old men didn't quite understand what this meant: "Your silver needle is so thin and soft, isn't it normal for it to move? Old man He is not fixed to his seat, if he moves a little, the needle will definitely move with him."
But Ye Qing doesn't think so:
"My silver needle was inserted very deep. Normally, it wouldn't tremble so much. This is not caused by the old man's action, but the feedback from the acupuncture point on the silver needle."
As he spoke, Ye Qing picked up a needle and inserted it into the Tianshu point on his abdomen.
The silver needle, several inches long, was inserted halfway into the wound.
Then Ye Qing turned around and motioned for the others to look at the needle in her stomach:
"At the same depth and location, is the vibration of my needle not so obvious?"
The old men's eyes almost popped out.
It was true that Ye Qing did not play by the rules at all. Every move she made was beyond the expectations of these old men. Who could have thought that the girl in front of them would be so cruel that she would dare to inject herself directly in order to verify the correctness of her conclusion?
But the abnormality pointed out by Ye Qing was indeed correct. No matter how she moved her body, the needle in her stomach only trembled slightly, which was almost negligible.
As for Old Man He, he sat in the chair without making any large movements, but the needle in his abdomen was trembling and twitching violently, as if it was being pulled by some force inside his body.
"So what does this mean?"
The old men didn't understand the principles of acupuncture, so even if they found the needles trembling, they only knew that it was abnormal, but they still couldn't figure out what it meant.
Gu Changqing, however, was a Chinese medicine practitioner. Although he was not very skilled in acupuncture, he had some experience in it. So he immediately explained:
"All human organs are connected to acupuncture points. If there is any disease, it will often be reflected in the acupuncture points first."
"Tianshu acupoint is located in the middle of the abdomen, two inches away from the middle of the navel, one on each side. It is an acupoint of the stomach meridian and also a gathering point of the large intestine. The intestines, stomach, spleen, urinary system, coccyx, uterus, and gallbladder are all affected by it."
"Ye Qing's silver needle was inserted into Old Man He's Tianshu acupoint. Now the needle is shaking so violently, which means that there must be something wrong with the organs and tissues I just mentioned."
The more he spoke, the brighter Gu Changqing's eyes became, and the more admiration he looked at Ye Qing with.
You know, old man He has been to so many hospitals for examinations, but he couldn't find the problem. He has suffered a lot for this matter in the past two years. He didn't expect that seeing so many experts was useless. Ye Qing had only been here for less than a quarter of an hour, and a needle had already quickly locked the scope of the disease to several specific organ tissues. The efficiency was so fast that it caught people off guard.
But Ye Qing only agreed half way with what Dean Gu said.
"The Tianshu acupoint does control the organs you mentioned, but I cannot agree with you that there must be something wrong with those organs."
"Because I only inserted one needle, I can only judge which organs and tissues may have problems by the abnormal shaking of this needle. However, this conclusion is not rigorous. It is necessary to use the silver needles of other acupuncture points for reference. If the problem does not occur after inserting silver needles in other acupuncture points, then we can determine whether it is only some organs and tissues in the abdominal cavity that have problems."
Dean Gu was not annoyed by Ye Qing's ruthless rebuttal. Instead, he was very happy and nodded happily:
"Yes, yes, yes. I was indeed not thoughtful enough in what I said just now. It is hard to draw conclusions based on just one needle. Then Xiaoye, you should start right away and see where else the needle needs to be inserted. Fill it in."
If it were any other time, Old Man He would have objected angrily on the spot, but Ye Qing's needle really frightened him. Although the old man was a bit stubborn, he knew what was good for him.
