I saw several doctors in white coats sitting in an outpatient room.
Shi Jingru felt like she had gone to the wrong place. She stood at the door with a blank expression, not daring to step inside for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Zhengnan smiled and greeted him, "Come in, this is the outpatient clinic, show me your registration slip."
"Okay, sure."
Shi Jingru snapped out of her daze, walked to sit opposite Su Zhengnan, and then handed over her registration slip.
Su Zhengnan took the registration slip and glanced at it. It read:
[Name: Shi Jingru]
Gender: Female.
Age: 21.
[Registration: General Traditional Chinese Medicine Outpatient Clinic.]
[Other information: None.]
.................
Tell me where you feel unwell?
Su Zhengnan glanced at the registration slip in his hand, typed the other person's name into the computer, and asked a question.
Shi Jingru placed one hand on her forehead and gripped her small handbag tightly in the other, replying softly:
"I don't feel unwell anywhere, but I've been feeling dizzy and weak all over these past few days. The Western doctor prescribed some medicine, but after taking it for a few days, it hasn't had any effect."
"Feeling dizzy and weak all over, right?"
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."
"Okay!"
Shi Jingru stretched out her slender hand and placed it on the pulse pillow.
Su Zhengnan took her pulse, then stood up and said to Li Haoran and the other two:
"The three of you come over here and have your pulses checked, then we can discuss your diagnoses and treatment plans."
"Okay, Teacher Su."
Li Haoran and the other two responded in unison, and then stepped forward one by one to take Shi Jingru's pulse.
Sun Huaiwei stood to the side and was the last to go up, because she wasn't actually Su Zhengnan's student; she was just there to observe.
If the patient is unwilling to spend time taking her pulse.
Sun Huaiwei couldn't force the patient to let her take her pulse, so she stepped forward and whispered to Shi Jingru:
"Let me take your pulse too, please don't move, okay?"
Shi Jingru: "???"
The procedure was the same as yesterday's consultation: Su Zhengnan first conducted an initial consultation with the patient, and then Li Haoran and the other two conducted a follow-up consultation.
Subsequently, Su Zhengnan inquired about the diagnosis results from their pulse diagnosis and the treatment plan.
If the three of them make a mistake in their diagnosis, Su Zhengnan will point out the error and then have them take the pulse again to verify it.
This consultation may take much longer than a regular consultation.
However, for Li Haoran and the other two to learn clinical experience, it is definitely more beneficial than harmful. It can not only quickly improve their clinical experience, but also deepen their understanding of the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation in clinical practice.
Finally, Su Zhengnan corrected their dialectical thinking and said to Shi Jingru with a smile:
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. It's just that you've been using air conditioning too much, so there's an excess of yin energy in your body and a deficiency of yang energy. It's just a symptom of yin energy."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Shi Jingru said, somewhat unsure.
However, she has indeed been staying home with the air conditioning on every day during this period. She has been staying home with the air conditioning on since the summer vacation started and has hardly left the house.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, you have to trust that we doctors are the professionals."
"So... should I take medicine for these symptoms?"
Shi Jingru said with some concern.
"No need. You're so young, why would you take medicine just because you're in air conditioning? Can you really stomach the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and glanced at the other person, saying, "Your illness is very simple. Just sunbathe for half an hour before nine o'clock every morning to sweat a little and replenish your body's yang energy. You don't need to take any medicine."
"Oh? Sunbathing? But I'm afraid of getting my skin tanned!"
Shi Jingru blinked her eyes and said.
Su Zhengnan offered a suggestion: "Uh, just make sure you're protected from the sun, and as long as you don't get sunburned on your head, you'll be fine."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, doctor."
Shi Jingru nodded her thanks, then got up and left the clinic.
No sooner had the other person left than a patient walked in with a registration slip.
The patient who came in this time was walking rather quickly, clutching his stomach with one hand, and looked rather pale. He said:
"Doctor, please take a look at me quickly, my stomach hurts so much."
"Is this...the emergency room?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at the other person's face, then immediately grabbed the other person's wrist and began to take his pulse.
Upon taking the pulse, Su Zhengnan immediately noticed that the other person's pulse was wiry and rapid, and weak, suggesting food poisoning.
"Open your mouth, let me see your tongue."
Su Zhengnan said with a frown.
"ah....."
The other person immediately opened their mouth wide.
His tongue was deep red with a yellow, greasy coating, clearly indicating that the toxins had accumulated in his stomach and intestines and affected his blood vessels.
Seeing this, Su Zhengnan got up, took out silver needles to disinfect them, and turned to Li Haoran and the other two, saying:
"This patient has food poisoning. The three of you, take a look at his pulse. Be quick, because the pulse will be different once I insert the needle."
What kind of doctor is this?
You're treating your own illness while also teaching your apprentices, right?
Hearing Su Zhengnan's words, the patient felt very confused, but he was too weak to speak because of the stomach pain.
Without thinking twice, Li Haoran and his two companions stepped forward and lined up to take the patient's pulse.
The pulse signs associated with food poisoning are relatively rare.
Although this condition is not considered a rare or difficult-to-treat illness, patients still prefer to see a Western doctor for gastric lavage rather than a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for food poisoning.
However, the process of lavaging the stomach is not pleasant.
The patient in front of me came to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor because he didn't like having his stomach pumped.
After Li Haoran and the other two hurriedly took the patient's pulse.
Su Zhengnan had already arrived in front of the patient, and the silver needles in his hand were quickly inserted into the acupoints on the patient's body.
at the same time.
He also explained to Li Haoran and the other two, "Generally, for food poisoning like this, the Neiguan acupoint is the first choice for acupuncture to induce vomiting. If the food poisoning has lasted for a long time, you can also choose related acupoints on the back."
"Acupuncture and moxibustion are performed on acupoints such as Dushu, Naoshu, Ganshu, Danshu, Pishu, Weishu, Sanjiaoshu, and Shenshu."
"You can also choose acupoints related to the abdomen, such as Shangwan, Zhongwan, Jianli, Xiawan, Tianshu, Yinjiao, Qihai, Shimen, Guanyuan, Zhongji, Zhongzhu, Siman, Qixue, Dahe, Shuidao, etc. for acupuncture."
"It can also be used in conjunction with acupoints such as Zusanli, Shangjuxu, Sanyinjiao, and Gongsun for auxiliary purposes."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan had already inserted the silver needles into the patient's body.
Then, Su Zhengnan continued, twirling the silver needle in his hand:
“For patients like this, acupuncture can be performed twice a day, with the needles left in for about 20 minutes each time.”
"During needle retention, a moderate-intensity twisting technique can be used to stimulate the acupoints, with a twisting amplitude of 2-3 rotations, and each acupoint should be needled for 5-10 seconds each time..."
"Ugh... Ugh..."
Su Zhengnan hadn't finished speaking.
The patient in front of him suddenly let out a "waaaah" and then started vomiting.
As a large amount of food was vomited up, the clinic room instantly became smelly, and a large mass of filth was spread on the floor, which was disgusting.
In no time at all.
The patient stopped vomiting, touched his stomach and said, "That feels so good...it feels much better now that I've vomited it all out, and my stomach doesn't hurt as much as before."
"Well, thankfully your food poisoning isn't too severe. I'll prescribe some more medicine to cleanse your stomach and intestines."
Su Zhengnan nodded, then wrote out a prescription for the patient and told him to go to the registration desk to pay and then go to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine.
"Thank you, thank you, doctor."
The patient expressed his gratitude and then got up and left the clinic.
Su Zhengnan glanced at the filth on the ground, then turned to Li Haoran and the other two and asked:
"Which of you three will clean it up?"
"I'll do it, I'll clean it up!"
Before Li Haoran and the other two could even speak, Sun Huaiwei had already started cleaning with a mop.
A look of surprise flashed across Su Zhengnan's face. He never expected that Sun Huaiwei would take the initiative to clean up.
This is truly the first time ever!
Sun Huaiwei silently cleaned up the vomit on the ground, an action that undoubtedly earned her points in Su Zhengnan's eyes.
