Otherwise, why would he let Student Xie take action over the phone?
The boss believes that sometimes his personal presence may make students shrink back and lack courage, as they will have to depend on the teacher's instructions as to what to do.
Besides, Dr. Xie Wanying cannot be considered a student, but a talented practicing doctor, and Dr. Wen Zihan knows this inside and out.
Back to the tools, since there were no acupuncture needles, Dr. Xie Wanying took out the medical cotton swabs that she always kept in her pocket.
The old doctor doesn’t use cotton swabs, but directly uses his fingers to test the acupuncture points.
Fingers have a larger contact area than cotton swabs.
From the history of its development, we know that the characteristics of acupuncture needles are that they are sharp and hard, and the contact area with the human body cannot be too large, so they can produce precise stimulation.
Human fingers have this defect when used as tools.
The reason why experienced doctors can do this is definitely because they have accumulated rich clinical experience and have a good feel for it.
...
...
It is not convenient for beginners to do this, but they will still try it with their fingers first.
As Dr. Xie Wanying said before, first determine the area where the acupuncture point is located. It is okay to use your fingers to probe the area and accumulate the feel for it.
How to measure another function of cotton swab.
When locating acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine, it is often mentioned in books that lengths should be measured with fingers. However, this does not mean that the doctor's fingers should be used as the unit of measurement, but rather that the patient's own fingers should be used as the unit of measurement.
Some parts of the human body are not convenient to be measured with the patient's own fingers, so the old doctors use the visual method and rely on solid clinical experience.
Some novices like to use their own fingers for comparison. In fact, when measuring with your own hands, you cannot control the movement of your fingers in space and this may affect the results.
If you have watched the old acupuncture teaching videos, you will see that some old acupuncturists used steel rulers to measure acupuncture points during their research.
Therefore, when reading ancient Chinese medical books, one must not just read them blindly, but must put them in the context of increasingly advanced modern technology to allow them to blossom and bear fruit.
Doctor Xie Wanying had a very flexible mind. Recalling the scene of watching people operate before her rebirth and Sister Wen's words, she took action immediately and measured the width of the patient's fingers on both sides with a cotton swab neatly.
Cao Zhao watched from the side and blinked hard: Well, my sister-in-law is better at playing than him. Why didn't he think of the fact that the two sides of the human body are a little asymmetrical, and there would be some errors if you look closely.
The basic knowledge and skills that can be applied to other areas in the medical circle are naturally based on a very solid medical foundation.
Mr. Xie is Mr. Xie. He will never let go of even the slightest mistake in medicine.
Don't move after the measurement.
Why? Because there are many methods for locating acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine. The method of measuring the width of the patient's finger belongs to the finger-body measurement method in the acupuncture point location method.
One inch can be measured by the distance between the two ends of the transverse lines on the inner side of the finger when the middle segment of the patient's middle finger is flexed. This is convenient for finding acupuncture points on the patient's back and limbs.
If the width of the patient's thumb joint is used as 1 inch, the same can be applied to acupuncture points on the limbs.
In addition to one inch, ask the patient to put the four fingers except the thumb together, use the transverse line of the middle section of the middle finger as the horizontal standard, and measure the width of the index finger and middle finger together as 1.5 inches.
Two inches is when you put your index finger, middle finger and ring finger together, and use the horizontal line on the first section of the middle finger as the horizontal standard to measure the width of the three fingers.
Three inches is the measurement of the horizontal width of the upper four fingers.
Other methods of selecting acupuncture points include performing operations similar to those performed in Western medicine, which directly use anatomical landmarks on the human body's surface to locate the acupuncture points.
There are also some simple, convenient and special methods of acupoint selection, which are very popular among ordinary people and novice Chinese medicine doctors. For example, Fengshi acupoint is a point where the patient stands upright with the five fingers of both hands naturally together and hanging down, with the tip of the middle finger attached to the outer side of the thigh.
