Chapter 159 Fire Needle Acupuncture



The scene of the car accident.

Several firefighters inspected the tanker truck and quickly discovered that it was full of lubricating oil.

That makes sense. If the car is carrying gasoline or diesel, it certainly won't be allowed to enter the Second Ring Road, not even on the elevated highway.

While lubricating oil is flammable, it is not prone to explosion, so its danger level is much lower than that of gasoline and similar substances.

Lubricating oil can burn when exposed to high temperatures or a source of ignition, but the heat and gases released during combustion are relatively small and usually insufficient to cause an explosion.

"Captain, we've checked, the tanker truck is full of lubricant."

A firefighter quickly approached the fire chief and reported the situation to him.

Upon hearing this, the fire chief nodded and said, "Take a few people and contact a tow truck to come and remove the tanker truck as soon as possible. Be vigilant to prevent any open flames from appearing around the area."

"Yes, Captain!"

The firefighter saluted and responded, then immediately turned around and led several teammates to deal with the tanker truck.

The police (110) officers who came to assist contacted the traffic management department and a tow truck to try to remove the tanker truck from the accident scene as quickly as possible.

Of course, these things had nothing to do with the doctors who were on site treating the injured.

Their task was to treat the injured, not to deal with the traffic accident scene or eliminate potential dangers.

Each department has its own responsibilities.

None of the departments established in China are just for show; there are only people who do the work, not departments that are just for show.

As the director of the emergency department at Beijing First People's Hospital, Yang Zhen'an was responsible not only for the treatment of one injured person, but for the treatment of all injured people at the scene. Naturally, he couldn't keep an eye on Su Zhengnan all the time.

After confirming that Su Zhengnan was indeed a doctor, and even a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

Yang Zhenan didn't say anything, and turned around to arrange the on-site rescue. As the director of the emergency department, he couldn't run around aimlessly.

As for Su Zhengnan, all he needs to do is register the condition of the injured he previously treated and his personal contact information; the rest will naturally be handled by the emergency medical personnel who received the assignment.

It must be said that the rescue workers in Beijing acted very quickly!

Excluding the time spent in traffic jams, the on-site rescue was completed in less than an hour and a half.

After the rescue operation concluded, the police began taking statements from a group of passersby, especially those who had participated in the rescue.

Naturally, Su Zhengnan was also included in the registration scope.

A middle-aged policeman stood in front of Su Zhengnan and asked him, "Name?"

"Su Zhengnan!"

"age?"

Twenty-five!

"Work unit?"

"Hmm, the school doctor at Beijing Film Academy."

"School doctor? You dare to participate in the rescue as a school doctor? I heard they said you just saved several injured people?" The middle-aged policeman looked at the young man in front of him with some curiosity, his face full of doubt.

Su Zhengnan replied calmly, "Saving lives is a doctor's duty, and it has nothing to do with me being just a school doctor."

"Okay, then you can leave your contact information and go."

The middle-aged policeman nodded and wrote down Su Zhengnan's contact information, then waved him away.

Su Zhengnan glanced at the accident scene, which had been mostly cleared up, and without saying anything more, turned and left.

However, due to the severity of the accident, the traffic police had previously blocked all the surrounding traffic, making it impossible to hail a taxi within a kilometer.

Su Zhengnan could only walk a kilometer away to hail a taxi and then have the driver head towards the Beijing Film Academy.

Fortunately, the evening rush hour has passed.

The taxi driver took Su Zhengnan back to the Beijing Film Academy in less than twenty minutes.

And just as Su Zhengnan got out of the car...

Ding!

The system's mechanical notification tone suddenly rang softly in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing today's special mission: Participate in a large-scale accident scene rescue operation. You will receive the reward 'Fire Needle Acupuncture Technique'.]

Fire needle acupuncture is also known as "quenching needle" or "burning needle".

This acupuncture method involves heating silver needles red-hot over a fire and then quickly inserting them into the body to treat diseases.

The Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) states in the chapter "Official Needling": "Quenching and pricking refers to using a burning needle to treat numbness."

Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" also records: "If burning needles induce sweating, and the burning needles cause restlessness, it indicates that both the exterior and interior are deficient, and the yin and yang qi are exhausted. Without yang, yin is left alone, and burning needles should be added..."

The most detailed account is found in Yang Zhou's "Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" from the Ming Dynasty: "Frequently dip the needle in sesame oil and heat it until it is red-hot. This will make the prescription effective. If it is not red-hot, it will not cure the disease and will instead harm the patient."

"Fire needling is suitable for breaking up carbuncles and boils on the back, where pus has ulcerated inside and the outer skin has no head. Just press on the soft and not firm swelling to allow the pus to ulcerate."

With the development of traditional Chinese medicine, the use of fire needles in modern times generally falls into two categories.

One method involves deep puncture with long needles to treat scrofula, elephantiasis, carbuncles, and other ailments.

Secondly, it uses short, shallow sap for treating rheumatic pain, cold and numb skin, varicose veins, and other ailments.

With a whoosh!

In an instant, Su Zhengnan felt that his mind had received this knowledge and experience about fire needle acupuncture.

Compared to regular acupuncture and moxibustion.

Fire needle acupuncture can be said to have taken the use of the four words 'fire,' 'roasting,' 'scalding,' and 'burning' to the extreme, and can be considered a type of acupuncture that is independent of normal acupuncture methods.

This shows that the wisdom of our ancestors over thousands of years is absolutely not just empty talk.

I have tried every method that can be used to treat diseases. All of the techniques of traditional Chinese medicine are based on countless cases of diseases and clinical experience. Unlike Western medicine, it does not need to rely on science to explain the reasons for its treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes let the therapeutic effects speak for themselves, rather than relying on empty talk or so-called truths.

There is no absolute truth in this world.

Perhaps one day people will overturn all existing truths, just as the geocentric model was overturned by the heliocentric model!

However, humans are often limited by their existing knowledge, and thus cannot break through what they have already accepted in their thinking. That is why they feel that anything beyond their cognitive scope is unscientific.

However, existence itself is truth.

Why have the various treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine not been forgotten after thousands of years?

There is a reason for its existence.

After quickly digesting the knowledge he had gained, Su Zhengnan stepped into the gates of the Beijing Film Academy with a smile on his face, and then returned to the school clinic.
