When Liu Donghai arrived at the door of Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic No. 1, he saw Xu Bo sitting inside.
Now that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the community hospital has been established, the original clinics have been re-divided. The sign at the door of the clinic where Yun Heng has always been sitting has been changed to Clinic No. 1. Clinic No. 2 has been moved to the second floor. Qin Dajiang is now sitting on the second floor, and He Haipeng has also returned to his original clinic. After all, the vaccination area has become the emergency department.
It is said that like master, like student. Xu Bo and Ren Xuedong were both taught by Yun Heng personally. Although Yun Heng did not teach the two for a long time, both Ren Xuedong and Xu Bo did not have rich initial clinical experience and their thinking patterns were not yet formed. After following Yun Heng for half a year, they were more or less influenced by Yun Heng in their diagnostic habits and thinking.
What kind of people's personalities and thinking patterns are easiest to shape? Naturally, it is children, because children are still a blank slate. Their future personalities and work styles often need to be guided by adults. Parents, as the closest people to their children, naturally have the greatest influence on their children.
Xu Bo and Ren Xuedong are undoubtedly newcomers in the medical field, and they are naturally children in this field, so Yun Heng's father's style and habits naturally also affect the two children.
Yun Heng has a calm personality, and his greatest characteristic when diagnosing patients is calmness and carefulness. Xu Bo was somewhat influenced by this, and Yun Heng gave him many instructions before he left, so Xu Bo naturally did not dare to be careless.
When Liu Donghai arrived at the door of Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic No. 1, Xu Bo was examining a patient.
Xu Bo is now sitting where Yun Heng originally sat, opposite him is Tian Zengming. Yun Heng's original position was facing the door of the clinic, but Xu Bo's expression is now quite focused and he did not notice Liu Donghai.
Liu Donghai didn't disturb them. He walked in quietly and stood by to listen.
"cough?"
Xu Bo looked at the patient and asked, "Do you have phlegm when you cough?"
"No phlegm."
The patient was a woman in her thirties who appeared to have a cold.
"I just feel dry and itchy nasal cavity, sneezing, body aches, headache, fear of wind, cough, but no phlegm."
"Do you feel any chest tightness?"
Xu Bo continued to ask while recording on the computer.
"Yes, I have chest tightness and no appetite. I've been taking the cold medicine I bought at the pharmacy for four or five days, but it hasn't gotten any better and seems to have gotten worse."
As he spoke, the patient coughed twice and seemed to have a serious cold.
What can I say about the common cold? Although many people now understand the name of this disease, in fact, nine out of ten people only have a vague understanding of this disease. They know the disease but not the reason.
If you were to ask what is the most common disease in the world, with the highest incidence rate, the most social resources consumed, and the one that is often abused by drugs?
I guess many people would answer a cold.
If you were to ask what is the disease that is the easiest to treat and the most difficult to treat, and which can be cured with or without medication?
Many people will still answer that they have a cold.
Yes, it is indeed a cold.
The common cold can be said to have won many titles in the world.
According to current research, there are at least 200 different serotypes of viruses that can cause colds. The characteristics of these viruses are not the same, making it difficult to know where to start.
But this disease is not too scary, because the cold is a self-healing disease. No matter how severe your symptoms are when you get sick, as long as the illness cycle lasts about seven days, most people can recover without medication.
If you ask whether the cold is a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, I guess at least half of the people will answer that it is definitely a disease name in Western medicine.
Actually, it is not. The term "cold" actually comes from traditional Chinese medicine. To be more precise, the name of the disease "cold" should be the name of the disease in traditional Chinese medicine.
It is because many people do not have a deep understanding of this disease and only have a superficial knowledge of it that traditional Chinese medicine is often blamed for just a minor cold.
Many people think that cold is a term used in modern medicine, so some people compare cold with some TCM diseases such as typhoid. Some TCM haters often say when refuting or questioning TCM that TCM cannot even cure a minor cold. In the past, a minor cold could be fatal, but now, a cold can be cured with just a few pills. Who has ever seen anyone die from a cold?
This view has even been recognized by many people.
Not to mention that there were few doctors at that time, and even fewer capable doctors, transportation was inconvenient, people's living environment was poor, and they couldn't even get enough food to eat. In fact, the common cold was not what many people think it is today, which is called typhoid fever in traditional Chinese medicine.
The word "cold" was first seen in the Northern Song Dynasty's "Renzhai Zhizhi Fang. Zhufeng", which described it as "cold caused by wind evil, fever, headache, heavy cough, thick and sticky phlegm and saliva".
This disease is different from typhoid fever. The Colds chapter of Jingyue Complete Works states: "Colds are originally caused by external pathogens. If the pathogenic factors are severe and deep, spreading throughout the meridians, it is typhoid fever. If the pathogenic factors are shallow and mild, affecting only the skin and fur, it is a cold." This disease is caused by external pathogens invading the lung defense system, so there are usually symptoms of lung defense. Therefore, the initial treatment is mainly to dispel the surface pathogens and expel the pathogenic factors. For example, if a weak person catches a cold repeatedly, their vital energy will be further depleted, and the pathogenic factors will linger. Therefore, it is necessary to balance strengthening the vital energy and expelling the pathogenic factors.
So, colds and typhoid fever are actually different.
Even for a cold, traditional Chinese medicine has many classifications for this disease.
The origin of the word "cold" can actually be traced back to the sayings "caught by wind" and "caught by evil", which gradually evolved.
