Soon everyone noticed that Dr. Tong and Dr. Xie Wanying were chatting back and forth, and the female doctors hit it off and talked non-stop.
While chatting, the two female doctors treated the wounded.
Abrasions are easier to deal with, just disinfect them.
If you sprain your waist, could it be like the time with Mr. Jiao? Anyway, Doctor Tong has acupuncture needles here, so why not use the needle on the Ahshi point?
The problem is that this time, Brother Cao’s back sprain is different from that of Brother Jiao.
Brother Jiao has obvious pain points, but Brother Cao doesn't. He feels abnormal sensations all over his lower back.
Perhaps it is because Jiao himself is an expert in traditional Chinese medicine and he can roughly feel where the Ashi point hurts the most.
But Brother Cao is not an expert in traditional Chinese medicine and has no experience in this area.
"Let him lie down inside for a while first." Doctor Tong said as he opened the door of the small room in the rural clinic.
...
...
Everyone followed the patient Dr. Cao Zhao into the room. It looked like a small operating room with a simple standing operating light and an operating table.
Doctor Tong did not hide his and the village chief's ambitions, and said: "This is a small operating room. I usually use it to perform simple external wound suture surgeries on some patients. If possible, I will recruit assistant doctors, nurses and anesthesiologists in the future."
It should be said that this village has recently focused on developing a modern economic crop planting base, and has a more reliable source of income. The village chief is also in a position to organize everyone to revitalize the internal welfare of the village, set up a rural clinic to facilitate internal people's medical treatment and earn money from other villages. Why not do it?
Dr. Tong is a thoughtful and experienced doctor who knows that medical care requires a lot of investment. He said, "It's just a plan for now. It's hard to recruit the nurses we want."
There are many nurses graduating from medical schools every year. However, the educational level of medical school graduates is low. The nurses employed by large hospitals now follow the path of doctors and are required to have higher and higher educational levels.
Moreover, the profession of nurses, like flight attendants, has long been misunderstood as the younger the better. In fact, nurses are a type of clinical medicine, and they need to accumulate medical experience, just like clinical doctors.
Some large hospitals have set up nursing outpatient departments, and the value of veteran nurses is being recognized by people inside and outside the circle.
In primary medical institutions, such as Dr. Tong's, it is not feasible to recruit a newly graduated nurse. Without the guidance of experienced nurses, the nurse alone cannot handle emergencies without experience.
It is said that Dr. Cao Zhao was asked to come in for treatment because Dr. Tong, who is like a mother to her, saw that the patient was always too shy to see people.
Dr. Cao Zhao deeply feels that this may be the "darkest" time in his life.
"It's okay." Doctor Tong comforted the "little" patient again.
Doctor Cao Zhao was afraid to talk to his mother's doctor, so he simply asked his awesome sister-in-law: "Do you think cold compress is needed or what else should be done?"
Dr. Xie is not the specialist doctor for the patient's condition. The on-site orthopedic surgeon is Dr. Chang, who happens to specialize in spinal surgery.
Doctor Chang Jiawei had already been looking around at the medical equipment at Doctor Tong's place and said, "It seems like there are some orthopedic materials."
Doctor Cao Zhao put his hand on his head: I'm going crazy~
The sharp-eyed Dr. Chang noticed the meaning in the patient's expression and argued, "Yingying's aunt also called me when she sprained her leg."
Doctor Cao Zhao and others: You silly boy, have you become smart? Do you know that I am afraid of you?
Dr. Chang Jiawei definitely has the skills, as the surgery on Dr. Geng Yongzhe's brother was successfully performed by Dr. Chang.
But, Dr. Cao Zhao: I don’t need surgery!
Western medicine has no particularly good method for treating acute lumbar sprains, such as the miracle treatment plan of Jiao Da Lao that works with just one shot. This is why sometimes Western medicine doctors look at Chinese medicine doctors as if they are looking at an incomprehensible monster.
Now I ask Dr. Chang to prescribe Western medicine, such as painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs? Do I want to see quick results and get a blocking injection to relieve the pain?
If you feel that the above two methods have serious side effects and only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, the most common method is what Dr. Cao Zhao asked himself: cold compress or hot compress?
Cold or hot compresses are physical therapy with fewer side effects.
In the end, it goes without saying that Dr. Cao Zhao wanted to emulate Dr. Jiao by asking Dr. Xie instead of Dr. Chang for help.
Back to the original question, does Chinese medicine have any other miraculous remedies for similar situations?
Doctor Xie Wanying suggested: "You can try cupping."
Needle cupping means acupuncture plus cupping.
Someone who knows a little about Chinese medicine immediately retorted: No, cupping is not recommended for acute sprains.
