"Gan" means feeling. Chinese medicine often says that feeling the cold, feeling the wind evil, and catching a cold are actually more accurately referred to as a general term.
"Cold" is a term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is also known in Western medicine as acute rhinitis. It is a type of acute upper respiratory tract infection, a mild, common upper respiratory tract illness primarily caused by a virus. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, throat itching, pain, or phlegm, cough, headache, and fatigue.
Modern people's response to the common cold has indeed become quite casual. Most people have cold medicines at home and can take medicine on their own when they feel unwell. Most people only go to the doctor when they really can't bear it anymore or the condition is serious.
Often when seeing a doctor, if there is no improvement after three or four days, then the doctor will definitely be labeled as incompetent.
It took three or four days for a cold to be cured. Your skills are not good enough.
However, in fact, the common cold is not that simple, and the treatment is not as quick as many people imagine. It is not uncommon for the disease to last for a week, half a month or even a long time.
Xu Bo didn't sit in the clinic for long, so he was very cautious. While asking questions, he recorded the patient's symptoms on the computer.
After he had asked almost all the questions, Xu Bo said to the patient, "Please raise your arm so I can take your pulse."
There are also some tricks to taking the pulse in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is also easy to learn but difficult to master.
Xu Bo knew that his level was poor and he had little experience, so he did not ask questions while taking the patient's pulse like Yun Heng and Ren Xuedong did. For people who do not have much clinical experience, asking questions while taking the patient's pulse will actually be distracting. Once distracted, the pulse feeling may not be so accurate.
The patient placed his arm on the pulse pillow, and Xu Bo placed his fingers on it. He took a deep breath, calming himself, and then carefully felt the patient's pulse, applying force and relaxing his fingers from time to time...
After four or five minutes, Xu Bo finally released the patient's wrist and continued typing on the computer: "The pulse is floating, rapid, and slightly stringy; the pulse is sinking, slippery, and rapid..."
After making a note of it on the computer first, Xu Bo checked the patient's tongue coating and throat and made a note of it as well. Then he went through what he had written down from beginning to end and made a dialectical analysis.
"Do you usually like spicy food?"
Xu Bo analyzed it carefully and asked the patient again.
Tian Zengming, who was sitting opposite him, was watching Xu Bo diagnose the patient and felt very emotional.
Xu Bo is a really talented guy. He used to be careless, but with Yun Heng's hands-on teaching, Xu Bo has learned a lot through what he has seen and heard over such a long period of time.
And once Xu Bo gets serious, he should not be underestimated.
These days, Tian Zengming has been sitting opposite Xu Bo watching him diagnose patients, and he has learned a lot.
Xu Bo was not as skilled as Yun Heng and was slower in treating patients, but Xu Bo remembered almost all of Yun Heng's instructions.
After the patient came, Xu Bo first observed him, then asked questions, then took his pulse, and finally looked at the whole thing again and analyzed it. The questions at this time were actually based on the patient's previous symptoms and pulse combined with his own judgment to make the final confirmation.
If the patient says yes to some of the questions Xu Bo asked at this moment, it proves that Xu Bo's judgment is basically correct.
"Well, I can't eat without chili."
The patient nodded.
"From this point of view, your condition should be spring fever syndrome."
Xu Bo continued typing on the computer while saying to the patient, "Your condition is caused by the pathogenic heat damaging the Yin. The lungs govern Yin, so you have symptoms like itchy throat and sneezing. Muscles are also Yin and are affected by the pathogenic heat. Plus, you like spicy food, so you have sore limbs..."
As he spoke, Xu Bo began to prescribe medicine.
Treatment should be to clear away heat and detoxify, soothe the stomach and nourish yin......
After printing out the prescription, Xu Bo handed it to the patient: "Go home and take it for three days. Come back for a follow-up visit after you finish it."
Liu Donghai was stunned watching from the side.
Is this really Xu Bo?
Damn, Xu Bo and he were classmates and graduated together. It’s only been a short time since they last saw each other, and Xu Bo has already started seeing patients?
The most important thing is that it looks decent.
Liu Donghai had never seen a patient independently and lacked experience, but he still knew some common sense. Combined with the patient's symptoms, Xu Bo's final analysis and judgment sounded reasonable to Liu Donghai.
"Hey, isn't this Liu Donghai? Why are you here?"
After watching the patient leave the clinic, Xu Bo asked with a smile.
When Xu Bo was about to take the patient's pulse, he actually saw Liu Donghai, but he didn't say hello.
