The bidding price on the auction website has already exceeded ten million!
Su Zhengnan's smile never stopped. Luckily, he was the only one in the clinic. Otherwise, if others saw him, they would think he was possessed!
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Ring ring!
As the auction price of century-old wild ginseng continued to rise on the auction website, the students were almost done with their classes.
As darkness fell outside, the streetlights in the school began to illuminate the scene.
Su Zhengnan glanced at the time in the clinic, then quickly closed the auction webpage on his computer, straightened his white coat, and waited for the patient to come for a consultation.
A short while later.
A tall male student, over 1.8 meters tall, walked in.
The other person walked straight to Su Zhengnan and sat down, saying to Su Zhengnan, "Doctor, I've been experiencing severe pain in both legs lately. I've been to other hospitals for checkups, but they couldn't find anything wrong. I wonder if you can treat this here?"
"Hmm? Your leg hurts?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at the student and, finding nothing unusual about his complexion, stood up and said, "Let me examine you first!"
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan walked up to the other man, squatted down, and then told him to roll up his pants.
After glancing at the other person's feet, which seemed to be fine, without any swelling or abnormalities, Su Zhengnan reached out and pressed on the other person's thighs, beginning to feel up and down.
This is what traditional Chinese medicine calls "palpation" or "bone palpation"!
This is also the most basic technique in traditional Chinese bone-setting massage.
When a Western CT scan typically yields no results, and the patient feels unwell, traditional Chinese medicine doctors will use their techniques and experience to diagnose the patient's condition.
Su Zhengnan placed his hands on the other person's thighs and felt around for a while, only to find that the other person's thigh bone was slightly raised.
But it wasn't a bony bulge; it seemed more like a bulge of meridians near the bone, and if you pressed it hard, it would feel like it was sinking in.
I felt this strange sensation coming from my hand!
Su Zhengnan's furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he asked with a smile, "What's your name? How old are you?"
"My name is Wang Liangliang, and I'm twenty-one years old!"
The boy replied with a serious expression.
"You mean twenty-one years old, right?"
Su Zhengnan returned to his desk and sat down. As he picked up a pen and wrote on the medical record, he smiled and continued to ask, "I think you're over 1.8 meters tall, right? How tall are you?"
"Uh, I'm 1.83 meters tall, what's wrong, doctor? Is this related to my leg pain?"
Wang Liangliang looked at Su Zhengnan with a bewildered expression and asked.
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, saying, "You know what, there is a connection. Have you ever heard of growing pains?"
"Huh? Growing pains?"
Wang Liangliang was slightly taken aback and said, "I have heard of this before, but isn't that something that only happens during a child's growth and development? What does this have to do with me?"
Su Zhengnan tapped the desk lightly with the pen in his hand and said, "Of course it's related. Because boys' bone development is slower, under normal circumstances, boys' epiphyseal plates will not completely close and stop developing until around the age of 22. Do you think this has anything to do with you?"
"Doctor, what do you mean by that?"
Wang Liangliang wasn't stupid; he immediately understood what Su Zhengnan meant and said incredulously, "You're not saying this is growing pains, are you? I'm already so old; if I grow any taller, I'll be two meters tall!"
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and couldn't help but tease, "Hehe, don't even think about growing to two meters. Even if you have a second growth spurt, you can't grow that fast. But there's still hope for you to reach 1.9 meters."
"Huh? 1.9 meters tall?"
Wang Liangliang scratched his head in disbelief and said, "Doctor, is your diagnosis real? Is this really growing pains? I don't quite believe it!"
"Of course it's growing pains. There are no external injuries on your feet, your movements are normal, there is no redness, swelling, tenderness, or ulceration in the local tissues. What else could it be but growing pains?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and wrote a few words of diagnosis on the medical record, then continued, "In addition, you are only twenty years old, so secondary development is within the normal range. You don't need to worry too much."
"Of course, if you feel that the growing pains are unbearable, I can give you a massage to relieve them, but it will only relieve them. The growing pains cannot be completely eliminated. They will only disappear after you have completely stopped developing."
Although growing pains are not experienced by everyone, this pain is caused by bone development and growth.
Neither the doctor nor the person undergoing the second development can stop this process.
Seeing that Su Zhengnan looked serious and not like he was joking, Wang Liangliang thought for a moment and said, "How about you give me a massage to relieve the pain, Dr. Su? This pain is really unbearable. My feet hurt so much that it's hard for me to walk. I really can't take it anymore."
Su Zhengnan smiled and pointed to the hospital bed next to him, saying, "Okay, then lie down on the hospital bed next to you, I'll give you a massage to relieve your symptoms."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Su."
Wang Liang nodded his thanks, then obediently lay down on the hospital bed next to him.
Then, Su Zhengnan stepped forward, placed his hands on the other person's legs, and began to massage him.
The massage used to relieve growing pains is quite different from the massage used to treat illnesses; both the massage techniques and the pressure applied are different!
Relieving growing pains mainly involves helping patients stretch the meridians between bones. The technique needs to be gentle, and the force should not be too strong, otherwise it will damage the developing and growing bones.
*Slap slap slap...*
Su Zhengnan's hands were constantly massaging Wang Liangliang's thighs. The massage technique was gentle yet firm, which effectively relieved the tension in the meridians near the thigh bones.
A dozen minutes later.
Su Zhengnan stopped the massage and gently patted Wang Liangliang's calf, saying, "Alright, the massage is done. You can get up now."
"Oh, is that all?"
Wang Liangliang got out of bed and immediately felt that his legs didn't hurt as much anymore.
"Dr. Su, your massage is amazing! It really doesn't hurt as much as it did before."
Wang Liangliang rubbed his feet with a look of surprise and happily took a few steps.
Su Zhengnan smiled and waved his hand at him, saying, "Alright, since you're all better now, go back. Your growing pains aren't a problem, don't worry about them."
"Okay, okay, I understand, thank you Dr. Su."
Wang Liangliang bowed and expressed his gratitude, then left the school clinic with a happy expression.
Su Zhengnan did not ask the other party to pay any medical expenses.
It's just a massage.
He wouldn't go so far as to charge students even this small fee.
But then again...
I've never seen a 1.8-meter tall person experience growing pains before!
