The Complete Treatise on Acupuncture and Moxibustion states: "For the method of reducing needle insertion, insert the needle three-tenths of an inch deep, withdraw it to the level of a bean, until the Qi is obtained and the needle feels deep and firm. Then, rub and pinch the needle until it does not move. Repeat this process until the last breath, then repeat the six Yin-Yang cycle, twisting and pulling six times..."
Therefore, this purgative acupuncture method still requires a high level of skill in needle manipulation.
However, this was no problem for Su Zhengnan.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Su Zhengnan immediately inserted the needle, and then used the method of reducing needle flow to twist and pry back and forth six times.
After the first acupoint was needled.
The actor lying in the hospital bed suddenly trembled, his hands clenching slightly, as if he were sensing his own recovery.
"It moved! It's powered! It's moving!"
The assistant director standing nearby was overjoyed and shouted excitedly.
"Quiet!"
Su Zhengnan turned his head and glared at him, then continued to give the other person acupuncture.
Soon, the remaining acupuncture points were also treated.
Although the extra in front of me did not immediately regain his mobility, his symptoms of facial paralysis were greatly improved, and his facial expression did not look as numb as before.
In no time at all.
The actor lying in the hospital bed is now able to speak on his own.
He looked at Su Zhengnan and said gratefully, "Thank you... thank you so much, Doctor..."
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, then turned to director Xu Dadong beside him and said:
"My speech is still a little unclear, but the symptoms of my crooked mouth and droopy eyes have improved, so it's not a big problem."
Tap tap tap...
Su Zhengnan had just finished speaking.
Several licensed doctors followed the staff member who had left earlier and hurriedly asked:
"What happened? Did that actor suddenly fall ill?"
"Ah, it's the one lying in the hospital bed!"
Xu Dadong pointed to the actor lying on the hospital bed.
The doctor stepped forward, glanced at the patient, and asked, "What's wrong with the patient? They seem fine."
"The patient suffered a stroke and hemiplegia due to wind and fire disturbing the upper body. I have used acupuncture to calm the liver, extinguish wind, clear heat and purge fire. However, the patient still needs some conditioning. In addition, it is best to avoid exposure to wind during this period."
Su Zhengnan stepped forward and spoke to the doctor.
The other person was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Su Zhengnan and asked, "Who are you??"
Su Zhengnan smiled and gestured to explain, "I'm also a doctor, a real one. I'm just doing a cameo role here."
"You're a doctor too? A traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"
The doctor gave Su Zhengnan a deep look and said.
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "Yes, traditional Chinese medicine."
"Traditional Chinese medicine is great!"
The doctor couldn't help but sigh, then changed the subject:
"But what if something goes wrong if you just give acupuncture to people like this? And strokes can be serious or minor. Do you even have the qualifications to practice medicine?"
"......"
Faced with this question that was suddenly raised by the other party.
Su Zhengnan was speechless. How could anyone ask such a question these days?
If he didn't have a medical license, would he dare to give people acupuncture indiscriminately?
Xu Dadong, who was standing nearby, quickly interjected, "Dr. Su definitely has a medical license; he's the school doctor at the Beijing Film Academy."
"Oh, so she's just a school doctor!"
The doctor muttered something under his breath, clearly not taking Su Zhengnan, the school doctor, seriously.
After that, the doctor stopped talking to Su Zhengnan and turned around to have several nurses push the actor lying on the hospital bed away.
"Old Zhou, go check on him and settle the bill for him while you're at it."
Xu Dadong turned to the assistant director beside him and gave him an instruction, then clapped his hands, picked up the megaphone, and shouted to the scene:
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Let's get ready to continue filming. Don't delay today's shooting schedule."
"Alright, alright, everyone, you can all leave now!"
The stagehands also started urging people to leave.
Soon, the large crowd that had gathered there dispersed.
The crew immediately found another extra to replace the actor who had just taken his place, and filming continued.
Su Zhengnan turned around and returned to his previous position. With the director's command, the scene was filmed again.
A few hours later, the sky outside began to darken.
Finally, Su Zhengnan's scenes were finished.
"Dr. Su, thank you for your hard work."
The stagehand smiled and handed over a red envelope.
Su Zhengnan was taken aback and looked at him in surprise, asking, "What does this mean?"
"This is the director's idea. He said it's to thank you, Dr. Su, for saving that actor. Please accept it!"
As he spoke, the stagehand quickly stuffed the red envelope in his hand into Su Zhengnan's hand.
Su Zhengnan glanced at it but didn't say anything. Instead, he found Director Xu, said goodbye, and then turned and left.
As for his salary, the production team will naturally transfer it to his account later; he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
After leaving the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xuanwu Hospital, Su Zhengnan hailed a taxi and rushed back to his residence.
As soon as Su Zhengnan returned home, he received a message from Liang Guanhua.
"Dr. Su, I just heard that your filming has wrapped up? Congratulations! I didn't expect it to be finished so quickly. I thought it would take you two more days to finish!"
"Thank you, today's filming went very smoothly. It seems that playing yourself wasn't as difficult as I imagined!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and replied to Liang Guanhua's message, then put down his phone and went to wash up.
Then, nothing more was said that night!
...............
The next day was the weekend.
Su Zhengnan originally planned to rest at home for a day, but he was called over for a consultation by Director Zhu of the Third People's Hospital.
no way.
Su Zhengnan had no choice but to go out, hail a taxi, and rush to the Third People's Hospital.
When he arrived at the Third People's Hospital.
Zhu Jiangcai immediately introduced the patient's situation to him, saying, "This patient's identity is somewhat special, and his condition has been quite unstable. I really can't think of any good way to effectively treat the patient, so I can only ask you to come over."
What are the patient's specific conditions?
Su Zhengnan sighed helplessly. He didn't have time to care how special the patient's identity was; he just wanted to know the patient's specific symptoms.
Zhu Jiangcai glanced at him and said, "Our diagnosis is Raynaud's syndrome. The patient has spasm of small arteries in the extremities, dysfunction of the central nervous system, and elevated levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the blood circulation. There is no cure; we can only administer medication to alleviate the patient's symptoms."
Raynaud's syndrome?
Su Zhengnan was taken aback, as he knew a little about this disease.
Western medicine calls it Raynaud's syndrome. This disease is characterized by paroxysmal symmetrical intermittent whitening, cyanosis and flushing of the extremities (mainly the fingers), which is often triggered by emotional excitement or cold.
This disease is generally rare and mostly occurs in women, especially those with nervous disorders.
The male-to-female ratio of the incidence rate is approximately 1:10.
The disease typically occurs between the ages of 20 and 30, and is more severe during cold seasons.
Now that the weather is getting colder, women with this condition are experiencing symptoms, which clearly fits a major characteristic of seasonal illness.
According to Zhu Jiangcai's introduction, the patient is a woman, and she is also a deputy minister of a certain department.
This is why Zhu Jiang just mentioned that the patient's identity was rather special.
However, Su Zhengnan didn't care about any of that.
Regardless of the other person's identity, he sees them all as patients, without any distinction.
