Chapter 6 Does Western medicine also understand acupuncture?



Lu Ping followed her husband with her daughter, and her nose was lingering with a lingering salty aroma, a special fresh fragrance with a hint of sweetness. Even if it was mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the outpatient room, it still made people salivate.

When the family of three followed the scent into the office, the mouth-watering salty aroma became even stronger.

The fragrance burst through the air and went straight into the noses of the three people.

The little girl, who was so thin that her bones were visible and whose exposed neck looked deformed and scary, moved her throat and swallowed involuntarily, staring straight at Su Tang's lunch box.

The child's eyesight was better than her parents'. She saw the source of the fragrance almost the moment she entered the room.

She pursed her lips and grasped her mother's sleeve. Her face was a yellowish yellow, obviously due to malnutrition. Her head was big and her body was small, which was extremely disproportionate. She looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the age for high school students.

The girl's condition was so obvious that Xiong Wei immediately responded, "You have anorexia. Are you here to see the gastroenterology department?"

"yes……"

Guo Guoqing nodded and smiled, but his smile was a little bitter, "The child wants to lose weight for beauty. We asked her to study hard and eat more, but she just didn't want to. Now she vomits everything she eats and doesn't want to eat anything..."

"It's already 7 months... I've lost a lot of weight, more than 80 pounds. I'm really worried that the baby can't bear it, so what do you think..." Guo Guoqing and his wife looked at Su Tang, their faces full of hope, and their expression was very obvious.

Facing the doctor, Guo Guoqing and his wife naturally had no intention of hiding their illness.

In fact, I came here today for a follow-up visit.

Lu Ping held her daughter with her backhand and sighed helplessly.

Nowadays, all the girls love beauty, but the Guo and Lu families were born without any thin genes. All the dozen or so blood-related people in the two families have plump figures. Although they are not so fat that they cannot walk, every time they go out to buy clothes, they are at least xxl.

Originally, Lu Ping thought it was no big deal, as long as the person was healthy.

But after her daughter entered high school, she was criticized by her classmates because of her figure, and some even gave her ugly nicknames.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen is very concerned about her reputation. How could she bear this?

I tried my best to lose weight, exercising and eating less, and lost 30 to 40 kilograms in a few months.

Although they were a little heartbroken, the couple were also happy for their daughter. But as the weight loss continued, something felt wrong...

It would be fine if he couldn't eat meat, eggs, or milk, but in the past two months, he even vomited rice sometimes. He didn't want to eat anything every day, and the smell of food made him want to vomit. The couple shed countless tears every night at home.

I have persuaded you and said all that I can.

I went to the neurology department and the psychiatry department, but it was of no use.

Now I can only see a psychiatrist for a long time and come here for a follow-up visit to the gastroenterology department to avoid other diseases caused by anorexia...

Sitting in the waiting room today, the couple looked worried.

Unexpectedly, as the fragrance wafted over, the daughter who usually felt like vomiting at the smell of eggs actually pulled their sleeves and said she was hungry.

Looking at my daughter stroking her belly with one hand, with a look of eagerness on her face.

The couple was overjoyed and immediately brought their daughter over, following the smell.

"You have anorexia nervosa, let me see your medical records..."

Su Tang let go of Pan Yuhao and took two or three steps forward, extending her hand to Guo Guoqing and his wife, "After reading her medical records, you can make an appointment and I will prescribe two suitable prescriptions for her."

Anorexia patients who are willing to come to the hospital for treatment definitely hope to be treated.

As long as the patient is willing to receive treatment, the efficiency of curing anorexia nervosa can be greatly improved.

Guo Guoqing looked down at the baby-faced doctor in front of him, who was not even as tall as his daughter, and said hesitantly, "Uh... Doctor, my daughter just can't eat right now, she doesn't have any other symptoms. You don't need to prescribe any other medicine, right?"

His daughter suffers from anorexia and can't eat anything. Even with medication, it's through injections and IV drips.

So many specialists had not been able to cure his daughter before, and he did not believe that this young doctor who looked like a middle school student could cure his daughter.

The most important thing is that his daughter just wants to eat and doesn’t want to get an injection…

Lu Ping also had a look of suspicion on her face, and the look she gave Su Tang was no longer as flattering as before.

Lu Ping cleared her throat and said, "Doctors, we have already registered with the gastroenterology department next door and will go for a follow-up checkup soon, so we don't plan to prescribe a prescription here. I just want to ask you what you just ate, where did you buy it? Or how is it made?"

For a moment, even the little girl who suffered from anorexia poked her head out from behind her mother and looked at Su Tang and the other two with a wary look on her face.

It was as if the family of three had come to a black-hearted clinic instead of a Grade A hospital.

"I know you want to eat something, but this is a medicated diet... Medicated diet emphasizes symptomatic treatment. You are not my patients, so how can I prescribe anything for you?"

Su Tang pointed at the lunch box on the table and said, "Besides, I'm not using this to treat my anorexia. It's for my own health."

"Uh... our Yaya is also suffering from malnutrition and anemia. I think this medicinal diet for regulating the body is quite suitable for the symptoms. There is no need to prescribe anything else, right..." Guo Guoqing and his wife frowned, and they always felt that the doctor in front of them was even more unreliable.

If there had not been any news reports about patients or their family members wearing white coats and pretending to be doctors in the Sixth Hospital, the couple would have suspected that the person in front of them was a real student and a fake doctor.

Facing the suspicious eyes of the family of three.

Su Tang stared at me with dead fish eyes: "I am doing this to regulate my body and make it taller. Your daughter is almost 1.7 meters tall. Can she eat the same herbal diet recipe as me?"

Guo Guoqing: “…”

Lu Ping: “…”

Su Tang raised her eyelids and said, "My medicinal diet is not as effective as traditional Chinese medicine. It's okay to eat it once or twice occasionally, but if you make it for your daughter every day after you go home, it won't be long before her anorexia relapses. Will she stop eating other normal meals and only eat this kind of medicinal diet?"

Guo Guoqing: “…”

Lu Ping: “…”

Seeing that the couple stopped talking and seemed to be about to be convinced by her, Su Tang softened her tone and said, "Chinese medicine emphasizes the use of the right medicine for the right disease and solves the problem from the root. Only when the five internal organs and six bowels are properly regulated and the qi and blood are nourished, can the body be healthy. Your daughter has a long-term loss of appetite, which must be due to a weak spleen and stomach and stagnant liver qi. How can such a small amount of medicated food solve the problem? You must prescribe a prescription to cure this anorexia."

"Give me the medical record and go register." Su Tang stretched out his hand forcefully.

"Oh, okay...ok."

This time, Guo Guoqing and his wife did not refuse. One of them handed the medical record to Su Tang, while the other took out his mobile phone to register online.

The little girl was pushed to the front of a stool by Guo Guoqing and his wife.

However, even though they had registered, the couple secretly looked at each other.

They have already made up their minds that they only want the medicinal diet recipes, and as for other prescriptions... they will decide based on the circumstances.

Compared to the young doctor in front of them, they trust other chief specialists in the clinic more.

Anyway, this guy can't tie them up and force them to pay for medicine and injections.

"Put your hand out and I'll take your pulse." Su Tang put away his lunch box and took out a Chinese medicine-grade pulse pillow from his backpack.

She flipped through the medical records that Lu Ping had handed over: the Third Hospital, the Sixth Hospital, the Central Hospital…

Wow, I found medical records from five different hospitals.

Su Tang took the medical records and flipped through them. There were records of psychiatry, neurology, and gastroenterology. The most diagnoses were in gastroenterology. Su Tang flipped through the medical records, put them down, and put her hand on Guo Shuya's wrist.

Patients with anorexia usually first go to the gastroenterology department to rule out various diseases such as acute gastroenteritis and chronic cholecystitis, and then go to the neurology department and other departments for preventive treatment.

However, the patient in front of me can smell the medicinal food and feel hungry, and has the urge to eat. I guess mental anxiety and depression are not as exaggerated as seeing a psychologist for pre-treatment. Instead, they are physical problems, which may be more serious.

In the past, there was a seventh princess born to a noble concubine in the palace. She also suffered from the same anorexia, and even the symptoms were very similar. In the end, she was cured. As a result, even other imperial doctors came to ask her for prescriptions.

Therefore, Su Tang was quite confident about the treatment of the little girl.

He placed his fingers on the wrist, and a faint pulse was felt from the fingertips. Su Tang felt it carefully.

The man had a pale face, thin muscles, and cold limbs. She asked the other party to stick out his tongue and take a look. As she expected, his tongue was pale red, but the coating was thin and pale white. It was a sign of liver qi stagnation and spleen and stomach weakness, and also a symptom of deficiency-cold.

"You lie down and I'll give you a few injections first. Then I'll write out a recipe for a herbal diet and give you three doses of medicine... After you go home, take the medicine first and then eat the herbal diet. If you vomit after taking the medicine, you can come to me tomorrow for a few more injections." Su Tang took out a box of acupuncture needles from her backpack.

The shiny silver needles look even colder under the incandescent light indoors.

Su Tang performed a series of movements smoothly, and Pan Yuhao and Xiong Wei, who were standing beside her, were unable to react...

Pan Yuhao originally thought that this Xiao Su was worthy of being their general internal medicine doctor, because he knew how to catch patients.

You can turn around and wait until Su Tang takes out the silver needle...

Pan Yuhao was almost scared to death.

That's not right!

They are in the general internal medicine department. How can this new doctor Xiao Su be so knowledgeable about Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and acupuncture? The most important thing is that as doctors in the general internal medicine department, their medical license is for Western medicine, which has nothing to do with Chinese medicine.

If this injection was given, it would be more than just a medical accident. It would be clearly a crime of stealing money and killing people, and illegal medical practice!

Pan Yuhao and Xiong Wei held their breath in their throats and were almost scared to death by Su Tang.

"No, no... Doctor, aren't you a Western medicine doctor? How come you also know Chinese medicine and acupuncture?" Guo Guoqing was also confused by Su Tang's actions. He swallowed and stood in front of his daughter.

Their daughter just wanted to have a meal, why is there a needle here? !

Guo Shuya's eyes widened, and she stammered with a look of anxiety, "Doctor, I don't need it, right?... I just have anorexia, I don't need a shot."

In the past few months, his family has visited seven or eight hospitals of all sizes in Shenzhen, but has never heard that anorexia nervosa can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

"You have anorexia, so you need an injection..."

Su Tang frowned slightly. "Besides, who says Western medicine doesn't know acupuncture? If I don't know acupuncture, how can I carry these things with me?"

Su Tang raised her hand, pointed to the box of disposable acupuncture needles on the table and said quietly: "Do you think that only old men with white hair and beards know how to give acupuncture? Although I am an internal medicine doctor, I also have a Chinese medicine certificate, okay..."

Su Tang had a blank expression on her face as she expertly pulled out her Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Certificate from her backpack. The dark red book had the standard gold-printed image on it.

The five people in the room, especially Pan Yuhao and Xiong Wei, stared at the Chinese medicine license and almost popped their eyes out.

This this this this person...

How come this person still has a Chinese medicine license? Isn't he a clinical graduate?

The three members of the Guo family could not help but look at each other, their expressions were tangled and strange, and there was also three parts of embarrassment and four parts of ashamedness.

Su Tang glanced at everyone and sighed secretly in her heart.

Anyway...

The group of people at the door even looked at her four certificates...

It’s okay for the current patient to want to see a Chinese medicine certificate...right?

It doesn’t matter…bullshit.

If they continue like this she will really jump up and hit them on the knees!

She's so mad!
