Of course, as a doctor, Su Zhengnan did not distinguish between beauty and ugliness in his patients.
Regardless of whether you are beautiful or ugly, as long as you come to him for treatment, you are all a patient.
Su Zhengnan observed the other person's complexion, which is also the most important part of traditional Chinese medicine's diagnostic method of observation.
As the saying goes, "One can know the disease by observing the complexion, know the symptoms by feeling the pulse, and know the location of the disease by asking about it."
These three are observation, pulse diagnosis, and inquiry, which are the wonderful applications of the three diagnostic methods.
As for auscultation and olfaction diagnosis, it is rarely used by doctors nowadays, and very few people know how to use it.
Because olfactory diagnosis includes both auscultation and olfaction, auscultation is more commonly used in Western medicine, while olfaction has been largely abandoned by most doctors.
It's probably because very few people are willing to smell various excrements or the odor of patients!
Nowadays, olfactory diagnosis has been largely replaced by various Western medical examinations, such as urine tests and excrement tests.
After observing the other person's complexion, Su Zhengnan could tell that the other person had problems with their liver and gallbladder, as well as with their diet and sleep. Otherwise, they wouldn't have such a sallow complexion, covered in pimples, and dull eyes.
However, as is customary, Su Zhengnan still asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The girl sat down and said, "I... I don't feel unwell anywhere, it's just... lately I always feel a bit thirsty when I sleep, I always want to drink water, I feel a bit irritable, and I always feel like I can't sleep soundly."
"Um?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at the other person and said, "Give me your hand, let me take your pulse."
"Okay, sure."
The girl nodded in response and then extended her wrist.
Su Zhengnan reached out and placed his hand on the other person's wrist to take their pulse. He quickly felt that the other person's left Guan pulse was thin, weak, and hesitant, which was a sign of stagnant liver qi.
The main causes of stagnation of liver qi are related to mental stress, and the main manifestations are distension and pain in the chest, ribs and lower abdomen, depression and anxiety, etc.
The girl in front of him looked like she was depressed and anxious. Su Zhengnan could tell without even asking, which showed how obvious her depression was.
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan withdrew his right hand from taking his pulse and said, "Your symptoms are mainly caused by anxiety. Here's what I'll do: I'll prescribe some medicine to regulate your liver. Also, try to read more books or watch movies that can help you relax. Don't worry about what other people think. Their opinions won't affect your life, they'll only affect your mindset."
"......."
Wang Zhitao stared blankly at Su Zhengnan, wondering why he, a doctor, would say such things to her.
But it does sound heartwarming, like someone is caring about you.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Su Zhengnan quickly wrote out the prescription and handed it to the other person, saying, "Alright, take the form to the nurses' station in front to pay, and then come back to pick up the medicine."
"Thank you, doctor."
Wang Zhitao got up, thanked them, took the order, and went to pay.
When the other party returned after paying, Su Zhengnan had already prepared the medicine and handed it to them along with a sheet of medical instructions, saying:
"Take your medicine on time and follow your doctor's instructions carefully, and you will get better soon."
"Thank you... thank you!"
Wang Zhitao wasn't very good at expressing her thoughts. She took the medicine, thanked him again, and then hurriedly left.
Watching the other person's departing figure, Su Zhengnan shook his head helplessly. For patients with poor mental fortitude who always cared about what others thought, he didn't have any good ways to help them regain their normal mental state. He could only help them as much as he could.
Although medication can temporarily cure the other person's liver qi stagnation problem.
However, if the other person still cares a lot about other people's opinions, her symptoms will relapse before long, and the cycle will repeat itself.
Wang Zhitao walked out of the school clinic with the prescribed medicine and glanced at the medical instructions Su Zhengnan had written for her.
The label read: "Two ounces of water for daily enjoyment, one comedy movie, and one chapter of an inspirational book. Just keep taking them."
"Well....."
Looking at the words written on the doctor's order, Wang Zhitao felt that Su Zhengnan was joking. What kind of doctor would write such a doctor's order for a patient?
"Sure enough, traditional Chinese medicine doctors are a bit mystical, unlike the rigorous approach of Western medicine!"
Wang Zhitao was a little confused by the doctor's order and thought Su Zhengnan was joking. She muttered something to herself and then threw the order away.
So this is quite frustrating...
It is important to know that all diseases are caused by anger, and when anger is relieved, all diseases will be cured. Therefore, maintaining a good mood is also a good medicine.
Many people know this now, but they can't do it.
Faced with this situation, even the most skilled doctor would be helpless.
Ultimately, the solution to illnesses caused by various emotions lies with the patient themselves; doctors can only provide some assistance.
Su Zhengnan was unaware that the other party had lost the medical instructions he had written, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have said anything.
Anyway, I've done what I was supposed to do, and if the other party doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do.
Not long after Wang Zhitao left.
Another female student walked into Su Zhengnan's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
That's how it is with seeing a doctor. Sometimes you might not have a single patient all day, while other times several patients might come in within an hour. These things are unpredictable.
Wearing a mask, Su Zhengnan reached out and took the girl's pulse, quickly diagnosing her illness.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan wrote out the prescription and told her to pay and then come back to pick up the medicine.
The entire consultation process lasted no more than five minutes.
This was after he deliberately slowed down his consultation and chatted with the girl a little longer; otherwise, the time could have been even shorter.
As for Sun Huaiwei's Western medicine clinic, quite a few boys still go to her for treatment.
Although a medical accident occurred last time.
However, this was not leaked out, and no one knows exactly how Dr. Yang persuaded the student.
In any case, only a few school leaders knew about this, so the impact was minimal.
Su Zhengnan naturally wouldn't say anything more about it.
From the time the afternoon classes ended until the evening self-study session started, Su Zhengnan had seen three more female students. He was just one patient away from completing his daily task.
However, as the bell rang for evening self-study,
Su Zhengnan got up and went out to call Nurse Zhou and Sun Huaiwei. The three of them walked together toward the school cafeteria.
It's time for dinner.
This person is like iron, food is like steel; if he misses a meal, he'll be starving.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Su Zhengnan: he had called the auction company to arrange to pick up the century-old wild ginseng this afternoon, but the other party did not show up.
I wonder if something delayed it?
