While explaining this to his junior students, Yun Heng looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Your pulse is slow and weak... Brother, do you have knee pain?"
The man was originally smiling as he looked at Yun Heng. When he heard Yun Heng's question, he was suddenly stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor Yun is worthy of being Doctor Yun. He is amazing."
The younger students standing by were also stunned, their mouths slightly opened in disbelief.
Senior Yun Heng was right about this?
You know, the man didn't say a word from beginning to end, not even a word about his illness, he just asked Yun Heng to check.
This situation is actually called "being troubled by pulse" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine has four methods of diagnosis: observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation. Doctors often combine these four methods when diagnosing illnesses, and use ginseng to verify each other.
However, because the other three diagnostic methods of looking, smelling, asking and palpating are done inadvertently, they are easily overlooked.
Observation is what doctors start when they see patients. This part of diagnosis is easily overlooked by patients. However, many people don’t know that observation is actually very important. Among the four methods of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, observation is ranked first not just because it is easy to pronounce, but there is a reason for it.
The order and importance of the four examinations are actually arranged in this way. Palpation comes last, and it is only the final diagnosis and confirmation by doctors.
If the doctor does not get any results from the first three examinations, then even if he feels the pulse, it will basically be difficult to identify the cause of the disease.
But precisely because the palpation comes at the end, Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases by feeling the pulse and then prescribing medicine. This gives many people an illusion that Chinese medicine doctors only need to feel the pulse and then know what the disease is.
Such subjective or wrong understanding has led to many misunderstandings about traditional Chinese medicine, and some people even use pulse feeling to test traditional Chinese medicine.
There are countless strange patients who ask questions like pregnancy test, silent silence, stretching out their arms, and you tell them what disease I have.
Are there any Chinese medicine practitioners who can determine the patient's condition by feeling the pulse and observing the patient without the patient saying a word? Yes, but such Chinese medicine practitioners are all very amazing. Ordinary people may never meet such a master of Chinese medicine in their lifetime.
Yes, everyone on the high-speed train encountered this today.
"Doctor Yun is amazing."
"Doctor Yun is amazing."
Many passengers watching on the side praised it.
“It’s not that magical actually.”
Yun Heng smiled and glanced at the students beside him, and asked, "Can anyone tell me how I made that judgment?"
A group of people looked at each other in confusion. Yun Heng's question was really a bit embarrassing.
Zhang Xueyan hesitated for a moment and said, "A slow pulse is usually a symptom of cold. If there is cold in the body, the pulse will be slow and weak, indicating that the cold is stagnant and the blood circulation is not smooth..."
"That's partly true."
Yun Heng nodded and said, "But this range is quite large, and we can't completely determine that the patient is suffering from knee pain."
Yun Heng paused and explained, "Actually, learning Chinese medicine requires great care and attention. You need to learn a lot of things, and all aspects must be integrated. Let me explain with some things you all understand. First of all, among all the passengers here just now, this brother is the most enthusiastic..."
The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing.
"There's a saying, 'When you're being nice, you don't have to do anything...'"
Yun Heng said half of the sentence and didn't say the second half, but everyone understood what he meant.
They were all there to watch the fun, and the middle-aged man was obviously more active than the others. Excluding the fact that he was really enthusiastic and liked to make a fuss, there was another factor: the middle-aged man must have been feeling unwell, and he happened to meet Yun Heng on the high-speed train, so he wanted Yun Heng to take a look at him.
“So I just observed it carefully.”
Yun Heng smiled and said, "Knee pain means there must be something wrong with the way he walks. There are also obvious characteristics in other aspects. I definitely didn't know it at first, but I thought about it a little more and observed a little more, so I discovered more details."
A group of younger students suddenly understood.
Just now, they were only busy following the middle-aged man to make a fuss, and no one paid attention to anything else at all. Instead, Yun Heng started to observe at that time.
Of course, Yun Heng could see that there were other factors that caused men's knee pain, but given the level of his junior students, what Yun Heng said was the easiest for them to understand.
Observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation, the four examinations and consultation, require attention rather than relying on knowledge.
"Doctor Yun is very observant and sees the subtleties. I'm impressed."
The middle-aged man said, "I do have knee pain. It's been going on for years, sometimes better, sometimes worse. I've taken some medicine and seen many doctors."
"He probably didn't trust our senior Yun Heng before, otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to find a West Asia hospital."
A female junior schoolmate speaks her mind.
“I don’t have that.”
The man hastily denied it: "First, I am really busy. I run around all day. I spend two-thirds of the year away from home, on high-speed trains or planes. I didn't know about our West Asia Hospital before..."
The man really didn't lie about this. The West Asia Hospital has only been known to the public in the past few months, after the free medical consultation event. Before that, it was only known to a small number of people, and most Chinese in the West had never heard of such a hospital.
Knee pain is a chronic disease. It is torturous, indeed, but it is not life-threatening. As long as it is within the controllable range, most people still have to work and take care of their own things first.
In fact, this is also the norm for most people nowadays. They can just bear minor illnesses if they can.
Unless it affects normal life, few people will seek medical treatment. If they are not feeling well, they will go to the hospital for a check-up, take some medicine, and then continue to be busy when the symptoms are relieved.
"You are lucky to meet Dr. Yun today."
Someone on the side said with a smile.
"Yes, it's luck."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's really my luck to meet Doctor Yun and ride with him. Doctor Yun, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll pay the consultation fee."
"No need, I told you to just take a look."
Yun Heng smiled, pondered for a moment, and said to his fellow students, "We were just talking about the Eight Meeting Points. It just so happens that this condition can be treated using the points within the Eight Meeting Points."
"The tendons meet at Yanglingquan."
Immediately, several people said in unison.
Yun Heng just explained that the patient had cold syndrome, cold air was stagnant, and the meridians were blocked, which caused the knee pain. Then Yun Heng mentioned the eight meeting points, which must be Yanglingquan among the eight meeting points.
Yanglingquan is a meeting point of tendons and a He point of the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. It is the 34th point of the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian.
"Yes, Yangling Spring."
As he spoke, Yun Heng stood up and took out a medical kit from above. As a doctor, a medical kit is definitely a must when going out. The medical kit contains a needle bag and disinfectant.
Fortunately, it was a high-speed train. If it was a plane, the medical kit would have to be checked in.
Opening the medical box, Yun Heng took out the needle bag and began to disinfect the silver needles.
