Time flies like an arrow, slipping through our fingers like quicksand.
In the blink of an eye.
Another week has passed.
It's the weekend!
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, making it look rather gloomy, as if it might rain at any moment.
The temperature has dropped compared to usual, making people feel a slight chill.
According to the weather forecast, there may be sleet today.
Su Zhengnan put on a rather thick coat and went out.
He then took a taxi to the First People's Hospital of Beijing.
Today he's going to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First People's Hospital of Beijing to discuss clinical matters related to 'sha syndrome' with his fifth senior brother.
Since he sent the information about 'sha syndrome' to his fifth senior brother Li Huai'an last time, the other party has been organizing relevant information on this topic and has also found many clinical patients.
However, Li Huai'an was not proficient in 'sha syndrome'.
Therefore, all these patients with similar symptoms were admitted to the hospital.
However, Li Huai'an did not bring anyone to treat them; instead, he waited for Su Zhengnan to arrive before proceeding.
Soon, Su Zhengnan arrived at the First People's Hospital of Beijing.
After getting out of the car, Su Zhengnan went straight to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then went upstairs and pushed open the door to the office of the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At this moment, Li Huai'an was preparing to put on his white coat and start working.
Upon seeing Su Zhengnan push open the door and walk in, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he greeted him with a smile:
"Hey, junior brother, you're here really early! I just changed into my white coat and you're already here!"
As they spoke, Li Huai'an continued to tidy his clothes while inviting Su Zhengnan to sit down and wait a while.
Su Zhengnan picked up a cup from the side, poured himself a cup of hot water, and drank it. He acted as if he were at home in his senior's office, without any formality.
Li Huai'an straightened his white coat, turned around and smiled at him:
"Come on, I'll take you to see those patients."
"Okay!"
Su Zhengnan got up and followed Li Huai'an's footsteps, and the two walked towards the ward of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
On the way, Li Huai'an, holding a stack of medical records, introduced them to Su Zhengnan: "According to the information you provided earlier, we have treated a total of thirteen patients with similar 'sha syndrome'. The medical records are all here, please take a look!"
As he spoke, Li Huai'an handed the medical record in his hand to Su Zhengnan.
Su Zhengnan took the medical records and carefully examined them. The medical records of the thirteen patients were all different, but they all had one thing in common.
That is the illness they suffer from, and the cause is difficult to find using conventional medical examination methods.
Furthermore, their pulses were all rather unusual.
A purple vein will appear on each patient's body, which is usually hard to notice without careful observation.
This is one of the most prominent characteristics of "sha syndrome".
However, the location of these purple veins is uncertain, and sometimes they are so small that they cannot be detected with the naked eye.
Therefore, conventional inspection methods are completely useless.
In fact, there are many types of sha syndrome, including heat sha, cold sha, intestinal sha, heart pain sha, and so on.
The best way to diagnose "sha syndrome" is by examining the patient's qi and blood, as this is more accurate.
Soon, Su Zhengnan finished reading the medical record in his hand.
Li Huai'an led him to the inpatient department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and then pushed open the door and walked into the ward in front of him.
Upon entering the ward, Su Zhengnan went straight to the patient, grabbed his wrist, and began to take his pulse.
The patient lying on the hospital bed was startled, looking at the young doctor in front of him with surprise as he suddenly grabbed his wrist. Somewhat bewildered, he looked back at Li Huai'an and asked:
"Director Li, this is..."
Li Huai'an smiled slightly and explained, "This is Dr. Su Zhengnan from our hospital, who is also my junior brother. He will mainly treat your illness; he is more skilled in this area than I am."
"Ah...I see..."
Upon hearing what Li Huai'an said...
The patient then realized what was happening, and smiling, extended his other hand towards Su Zhengnan:
"Hello, Dr. Su, my name is Zhang Muyang. I'm really sorry to trouble you with my illness."
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. It's what I should do. Let me take another look at your condition!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and replied, then lifted the other person's hospital gown to examine him, discovering a purple vein on his chest.
The purple vein is very thin.
If Su Zheng'an hadn't had such keen eyesight, he might not have noticed.
Then, Su Zhengnan examined the other person's tongue coating and turned to Li Huai'an behind him, saying:
"This is undoubtedly a typical case of sha syndrome."
"When the 'sha qi' rushes to the heart, the pathogenic factors are in the qi, which leads to poor blood circulation and various symptoms in the patient's body."
"The root cause of his illness is ultimately in the Qi, not the blood. I'll give him acupuncture first. Senior brother, you can take notes."
Upon hearing this, Li Huai'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take charge of recording."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Zhengnan took out silver needles, disinfected them, and skillfully inserted them into the acupoints on Zhang Muyang's body.
As the silver needles were inserted, Zhang Muyang's tense body gradually relaxed, as if his taut nerves had suddenly deflated.
The toxins were expelled from the other person's body through Su Zhengnan's acupuncture.
This 'qi' is invisible and intangible.
However, the understanding of 'qi' in traditional Chinese medicine is incomprehensible to modern medicine, so many people are confused about it.
Actually, this "qi" is similar to the "qi" in qigong, except that one is qi with toxicity and the other is beneficial qi. The two cannot be equated.
After Su Zhengnan performed acupuncture on the patient, he repeatedly jabbed the silver needles back and forth a few times, causing a few drops of dark blood to flow out.
A few minutes later.
Su Zhengnan withdrew the silver needles and turned to his second senior brother, Li Huai'an, saying:
"Prescription: Sparganium rhizome 4g, Atractylodes rhizome 4g, Semen Araliae 4g, Semen Sinapis alba 4g, Herba Corydalis Rhizome 4g, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus 4g, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae 4g...."
Li Huai'an was taken aback for a moment. While writing down the prescription, he asked, "Junior brother, what is this prescription?"
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "This is Wuyao Shunqi Decoction, which comes from the second volume of Shazhang Yuheng. It can treat internal attack of Sha Qi and has a remarkable effect."
At this point, Su Zhengnan paused for a moment, then looked at Li Huai'an and said:
"This prescription is also recorded in the book 'Miscellaneous Diseases: A Comprehensive Guide'. You can take a look if you have time."
"Uh, okay, I'll take a look when I have time."
Li Huai'an paused for a moment, then nodded and handed the completed medical record to the nurse beside him, saying, "Get the medicine according to this prescription!"
"Okay, Director Li."
The nurse responded, took the medical record, and turned to walk towards the pharmacy.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and patted Li Huai'an's shoulder, saying, "Let's go, senior brother, let's go check on the next patient's ward!"
"Huh? Is that all?"
Li Huai'an looked at him with a surprised expression and said.
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "What else? As long as the patient takes the prescription I just wrote down for a few days, he will definitely recover. You have to write this case down clearly for me, otherwise the clinical data cannot be collected."
"Uh, okay, I got it."
Li Huai'an nodded in agreement, and then led him toward the next patient's ward.
