Chapter 618: Treating the Headache and the Foot Pain



"Danggui Sini Decoction with added ingredients?"

In the duty room, Zhu Senqiang looked at the medical instructions given by Yun Heng, and then showed Yun Heng's prescriptions to the young doctors in the inspection team.

"Doctor Yun, Danggui Sini Tang is an interior-warming herb that warms the meridians and dispels cold, nourishing the blood and unblocking the vessels. It's primarily used to treat blood deficiency and cold syncope. Symptoms include cold hands and feet, or pain in the waist, thighs, legs, feet, shoulders, and arms. It's commonly used clinically to treat conditions such as thromboangiitis obliterans, pulselessness, Raynaud's disease, polio, frostbite, dysmenorrhea, frozen shoulder, and rheumatoid arthritis, all of which are caused by blood deficiency and cold stasis. This patient has cerebral infarction, emphysema, and hypertension. Why use this prescription?"

The person asking the question is Luo Yahui from Kyoto Hospital.

"Yes, Doctor Yun, the patient has blood stasis blocking the brain vessels. The treatment should be to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, right?"

Liu Yanjun also asked.

During the acupuncture just now, many people were unable to help or say anything. Yun Heng's skills were too advanced and no one understood. The most important thing was that the patient woke up and the effect was immediate. No one could deny it.

But many people have something to say about the prescription now.

The members of the inspection team, whether experts or young doctors, are mainly in internal medicine, and many of them have ideas at this time.

After holding it in for so many days, many people actually wanted to discuss it with Yun Heng.

Yun Heng blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Is there any connection between cerebral infarction, emphysema, and hypertension and the Danggui Sini Decoction I used?"

"Doctor Yun, why is it okay?"

Luo Yahui was speechless.

This doctor Yun has a very problematic attitude.

We are just having a normal discussion. What does Yun Heng mean?

"For cerebral infarction, we administer oxygen, perform surgery, and adopt corresponding treatment plans. For emphysema, we consider whether to use bronchodilators based on the specific situation. For hypertension, we naturally use antihypertensive drugs."

Yun Heng said seriously, "I'm using Danggui Sini Decoction with some added ingredients. It's not the same thing as what you're talking about. There's no need for us to discuss it."

"Hmph!"

Ren Xuedong next to him couldn't help laughing.

There is no need to discuss this. One is a disease of Western medicine, and the other is a prescription of Chinese medicine. They are two different channels. There is no point in discussing them.

Not only Ren Xuedong, but also Xu Bo, Yue Shaojiang and other people who knew Yun Heng understood it.

Yun Heng has always been quite disgusted with applying Western medical thinking to traditional Chinese medicine. When Luo Yahui and others started talking about cerebral infarction, emphysema, hypertension, and blood circulation and blood stasis, Yun Heng was too lazy to discuss with them.

Luo Yahui: “…”

Liu Yanjun: “…”

"Yun Heng, stop keeping us in suspense and explain it to these guys. Let them open their eyes."

Zhu Senqiang glared at Luo Yahui and thought to himself, what are you asking about?

Everyone has heard of Yun Heng these days, and many people have actually read Yun Heng's papers. Don't you understand the thinking of traditional Chinese medicine?

"Director Zhu is joking."

Yun Heng hurriedly made a polite remark before saying, "When treating an illness with Chinese medicine, the first thing to do is to get the treatment right. This patient has blood stasis blocking the brain meridians, so the main principle of treatment is to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, while removing blood stasis and unblocking the meridians, we must also consider the patient's actual situation and not generalize."

"Whether the patient has emphysema or high blood pressure has nothing to do with our TCM treatment. Judging from the patient's condition, he is old and his Yang Qi is not strong. Furthermore, his pulse is thin and stringy, and his tongue is pale purple. These are all signs of excessive internal cold."

A group of people nodded, and Zhu Senqiang glared at Luo Yahui again.

Jin Shijie next to him subconsciously glanced at Luo Yahui, feeling a sense of déjà vu as he did at that time.

I think Director Liao also viewed me in this way at the beginning.

He was said to be the best in the department, but he made a mistake as soon as he opened his mouth, which really did not bring honor to the director.

Lin Xuehai glanced at Yun Heng, then at the young doctor from the inspection team.

They say there is no harm without comparison. Before comparing with Yun Heng, I thought this group of young doctors were pretty good. But now compared with Yun Heng, why do I feel that this group of proud children are a bit weak?

Pulse and symptoms!

When treating diseases with Chinese medicine, it is natural to combine pulse and symptoms for specific analysis. Just as Yun Heng said, the patient is old, his yang energy is not strong, his pulse is thin and stringy, and his tongue is pale purple, all of which are manifestations of excessive coldness in the body. These questions were not asked by Luo Yahui and Liu Yanjun just now.

The first thing he said was that the patient had cerebral infarction, blood stasis blocked the brain meridians, and he needed blood circulation and meridian dredging treatment.

Yun Heng continued, "It's certainly true that removing blood stasis and unblocking the meridians is beneficial, but when doing so, we must first consider the environmental characteristics of the circulation of Qi and blood. So, what are the environmental characteristics of the circulation of Qi and blood?"

"Blood circulates when it is hot, but it coagulates when it is cold."

Ren Xuedong answered loudly on the side.

"right!"

Yun Heng nodded. "The characteristic of Qi and blood circulation is that blood flows when it's warm, and it coagulates when it's cold. Blood stasis is a blockage, and blockage is often caused by cold. If we only know that the patient has blood stasis blocking the brain vessels without understanding the cause, what's the difference between that and treating a headache with head pain and a foot pain with foot pain?"

"Doctor Yun's words are still so sharp."

Jin Shijie was talking softly to Yue Shaojiang beside him.

Jin Shijie had seen Yun Heng's words before, and there was even a mediocre doctor in their department.

Zheng Feiping serves different dishes to different people.

This time, Yun Heng did not target anyone, but just talked about the facts.

He says whatever he wants to say. As his level improves, Yun Heng's temperament also changes subtly.

Yun Heng saw this group of young doctors from the inspection team wandering around the hospital these days and sent some of them over to investigate. They were all level five and six, and the worst were level four, close to level five.

But such a group of gifted people were still influenced by Western medical thinking, which made Yun Heng a little disappointed, so he was not very polite when explaining it.

"Treat the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain?"

This sentence really made the group of young doctors in the inspection team feel embarrassed.

People say that Western medicine treats symptoms while Chinese medicine treats the root cause. Although this is not accurate, many people believe this. Therefore, some Chinese medicine doctors often use the term "treating the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain" to evaluate Western medicine, saying that Western medicine only treats the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain.

Today, Yun Heng said this to a group of young doctors in the inspection team, which was really embarrassing.

But what Yun Heng said makes a lot of sense.

At least judging from their performance just now, it completely fits this evaluation.

Just knowing that blood stasis blocks the brain meridians, but not seeking the reasons why blood stasis blocks the brain meridians, and not finding out why, isn't this just treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause?

Zhu Senqiang, Qian Zhongzhong and other experts who led the team all felt embarrassed.

They had been looking forward to it every day these days, hoping that Yun Heng would show off his skills, and also looking forward to a chance for their young doctor to exchange skills with Yun Heng. After finally waiting for the chance, as soon as they started to clash, they were accused of treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause.

It's really embarrassing.
