Ren Xuedong was treating a patient when he subconsciously glanced to the side and was also stunned.
Qu Tongwen?
Ren Xuedong, Yun Heng, and Xu Bo all graduated from Zhongzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but Ren Xuedong was two years older than Yun Heng and Xu Bo, so he can be considered their senior.
Qu Tongwen is the honorary president of Zhongzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although he is not often at the school, he is occasionally invited by the school to give lectures every year. Yun Heng, Xu Bo and Ren Xuedong have all attended Qu Tongwen's lectures, so how could they not recognize him?
Yun Heng was observing the patient at the moment and was very focused, so he didn't notice it. However, Xu Bo and Ren Xuedong both saw Qu Tongwen and were shocked.
Especially Xu Bo, he even thought he was dazzled.
What a joke, Qu Tongwen actually came.
At this moment, Xu Bo even found it a little funny.
Yes, I just think it’s funny.
Recalling what he said to Yun Heng, Yun Heng said that he happened to meet Ma Tiequan and Liang Wanming. At that time, he didn't believe it and said jokingly, why didn't you happen to meet Qu Tongwen.
Well, this time I happened to meet Qu Tongwen again.
Fortunately, Xu Bo was at the West Asia Community Hospital at that moment and saw it with his own eyes. Otherwise, if Yun Heng said during a chat someday that he happened to meet Qu Tongwen, Xu Bo would definitely not believe it.
But who would have thought it was such a coincidence.
Is this place good in feng shui?
For a moment, Xu Bo was speechless. Liang Wanming, Ma Tiequan, and now Qu Tongwen is here too. Is the world so small?
After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Bo hurriedly pulled Yun Heng aside and whispered, "Mr. Qu is here."
"What's all this coming and going? Stop it."
Yun Heng opened Xu Bo's hand without turning his head and spoke to the patient in front of him.
"Come on, put your hands up."
The patient was an old lady in her sixties, accompanied by her son. The son stood next to the old lady, blocking Yun Heng's view. If Yun Heng didn't look specifically, he wouldn't have noticed Qu Tongwen.
Moreover, Yun Heng is usually more serious when he is diagnosing patients and rarely pays attention to the side. He actually noticed that there was someone at the door, but he didn't care. Since the implementation of automatic registration, there are people hanging around at the door of the clinic from time to time. As long as the patient does not have any special circumstances or needs to pay attention to any privacy, Yun Heng doesn't bother to care.
The old lady placed her arm on the pulse pillow, and Yun Heng continued to ask questions while reaching out to feel her pulse.
"Besides loss of appetite, dizziness, and lack of energy, what other symptoms do you have?"
"Also, I keep dreaming at night."
The old lady said, "I always feel like I can't sleep well."
"You always dream at night. Do you remember what scenes you dreamed about? Was it a nightmare?" Yun Heng asked patiently.
The old lady smiled and said, "I do remember it. It's not a nightmare, but I always dream of the big locust tree in front of my old home. Sometimes I dream of chatting with the old sisters in the village."
"Where is your hometown?" Yun Heng asked.
"My hometown is a village in Beilin."
The old lady's son said, "I've been working in Xihua City for many years. My work has improved in recent years, and I bought a house, so I brought the old lady here."
Hearing this, Yun Heng finally understood and said with a smile, "The old man is just homesick."
"Oh, boy, you're really amazing. You can even figure this out?"
The old lady was very surprised: "To be honest, I really miss home. Everything is good here in the city, good food, good accommodation, and there is heating in winter, but I don't know anyone. I stay at home all day. There is no one to chat with when I go for a walk downstairs. But Cheng Wazi took me here, which is also filial piety. My daughter-in-law is also very good to me..."
The old man was too embarrassed to say it before, but now that Yun Heng has said it, the old man no longer hides it and starts talking about it.
She was used to living in the village, where she had many acquaintances whom she could visit and chat with. But when she came to the city, she felt uncomfortable in many ways. However, her son and daughter-in-law were filial, and she couldn't say anything for fear of hurting her daughter-in-law and son, so she kept it in her heart.
"Mom, you should have said this earlier."
The patient's son was at a loss for words. He had never expected that his mother would become ill for this reason.
"I'm just afraid that you will think I'm ungrateful." The old lady smiled. It can be seen that she is a reasonable person.
The patient's son asked Yun Heng with a wry smile, "Doctor Yun, is this serious? The main problem is that there's no one at home to take care of him."
Yun Heng saw what the patient's son was thinking. If it wasn't too serious, he could just take some medicine and slowly get used to it. Habits are actually developed over a long period of time. Perhaps the old man would get used to it if he stayed here for a while longer.
"How should I put it? It depends on the person."
Yun Heng smiled and explained, "Homesickness is just an emotion, but if it persists for a long time and lingers in your mind, it can eventually lead to illness. From a modern medical perspective, if you long for a person or a place, your hormones and other factors will change, making it easier to get sick. It can also cause you to lose your appetite, have nightmares, and think about things during the day."
"From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, it can lead to qi stagnation. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states that 'overthinking causes qi stagnation.' Excessive thinking can lead to spleen stagnation, which manifests as a series of digestive system symptoms, including abdominal distension, loss of appetite, and irregular stools. In severe cases, the patient loses their appetite and becomes depressed..."
Qu Tongwen, who had been standing at the door listening and watching, now had his eyes shining.
Zhang Bowen was right. This small community hospital really had an amazing Chinese medicine doctor, who was so young. At this moment, Qu Tongwen even thought about taking him as his disciple.
"Doctor Yun, then..." The patient's son didn't know what to say.
Yun Heng said, "It seems alright for now. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take first. It would be great if the old man can come to terms with it. If not, I think we'd better think of a solution."
As Yun Heng spoke, he was typing out the medical records and writing the prescriptions at the same time.
"But there's no one at home now. My mom is alone and has no one to take care of her. I'm also worried about her here."
The patient's son was also a little troubled.
Let the old man stay here. He misses home so much that he is almost sick. But if he is sent back home, there will be no one to take care of him.
"I'm actually fine and can take care of myself. You can just come back and see me once or twice a year." The old lady actually still wanted to go back.
"If there's really no one to take care of her back home, you can think of a way first. Old lady, you should also think more open-mindedly. It would be best if you could find some things from your hometown to give her something to do, like knit a sweater or make a pair of shoes. It shouldn't be too tiring, it can be a pastime. Just watch it for now, okay?"
As he spoke, Yun Heng handed over the prescription.
"Thank you, thank you Doctor Yun. I'll do as you say and give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll have to send my mother back home."
The patient's son thanked him repeatedly.
