Inside the master bedroom.
After taking the old man's pulse, Su Zhengnan withdrew his hands after a long while and said:
"I need to perform a palpation on Teacher Li, is that convenient?"
"palpation?"
Wang Jinsong was visibly taken aback, a look of confusion on his face, and asked softly:
"What does this palpation mean?"
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said, "What I mean is to lift the blanket and give Teacher Li a thorough check-up."
"Ah, this... it should be convenient, right?"
Wang Jinsong turned to look at his teacher's wife, unsure whether the weather was suitable for uncovering his teacher from the blanket.
It's important to know that we're currently in the transitional season, and the weather has already started to get cooler.
In addition, his teacher had been lying in bed without getting up, and if the blanket were lifted rashly, the old man might catch a cold immediately.
"It's alright. Since it's an examination, let's do it properly. I'll just turn on the air conditioning. It shouldn't take long, right?"
As Wang Jinsong's teacher's wife spoke, she took out the air conditioner remote and turned on the air conditioner in the room.
"Yes, this check-up won't take more than a few minutes."
Su Zhengnan replied with a smile.
He didn't know how long it would take for others to get checked, but if it were him doing the check, it should be quite fast.
Soon, the temperature in the room, which was initially a little cool, began to rise.
Su Zhengnan then lifted the blanket covering the old man and began to examine the old man's subcutaneous tissue, organs, and bones by touching, feeling, pressing, and squeezing.
Upon touching the old man's body, Su Zhengnan sensed that the man's bones were quite loose, and even a light press could cause a slight vibration.
Su Zhengnan had no choice but to switch to touch, abandoning the two methods of pressing for examination.
even so.
Su Zhengnan could also clearly feel that the old man's skin was very loose, obviously his yang energy was almost exhausted, but his internal organs could still barely support his bodily functions.
However, if it is not treated in time...
It's estimated that Li Hualei might not survive this winter, otherwise he wouldn't have been complaining of pain all this time.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan turned to Wang Jinsong with a solemn expression and said, "Teacher Li's condition is more serious than I thought. I can prescribe a medicine for him to take care of himself. Please remember to give it to him on time."
"In addition, we need to give him some simple massages every day to help him restore his physical functions, or we can do moxibustion."
Since Su Zhengnan couldn't come over every day to help with massages or moxibustion, this task had to be left to the patient's family.
Massage? Moxibustion?
Wang Jinsong was taken aback and said, "We don't know any of these, and we don't understand traditional Chinese medicine. How are you asking us to do this?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this massage and moxibustion are quite simple. You'll learn them after I teach you."
"Well....."
Wang Jinsong turned his head and looked at his teacher's wife again.
After all, it's unrealistic for him to do this; only a teacher's family member can do it.
Wang Jinsong's teacher's wife immediately realized what was going on, and smiled as she took out her phone, saying, "Dr. Su, could you please wait a moment? I'll call my eldest daughter to come back!"
"Well, that's not a problem. The treatment hasn't started yet, so it doesn't matter how long we wait."
Su Zhengnan nodded, and then covered the old man with the blanket again.
Not long after Wang Jinsong's teacher's wife finished making the phone call.
A middle-aged woman with a pleasant demeanor hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in, immediately asking:
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry to call me back?"
Wang Jinsong's teacher's wife quickly greeted him, "This is Dr. Su. Jinsong introduced him. He said he has a way to treat your father's illness. Now you need to learn from Dr. Su how to give your father massage and moxibustion."
"Massage and moxibustion?"
The young woman was taken aback for a moment, then walked up to Su Zhengnan and extended her hand in greeting:
"Hello Dr. Su, I'm Li Zimeng. Can you really cure my father's illness?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and shook hands with the other party, saying, "It's hard to say whether this can be cured at the moment, but it is possible to restore 90% after treatment. The old man's illness is complicated and chaotic, so the treatment will take a relatively long time."
"Furthermore, this treatment process also requires the cooperation of your family members, especially the daily massage and moxibustion, which are absolutely essential."
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say this...
Li Zimeng first turned to look at Wang Jinsong, and seeing that he nodded slightly, she immediately smiled and said:
"You're the doctor, we'll just do as you say."
"Okay, now I'll teach you how to massage and apply moxibustion to your father. Just follow along, it's actually very simple."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan began to demonstrate.
He first explained some basic acupoints and massage techniques to Li Zimeng, and then he personally massaged Li's body to teach her.
There aren't many acupoints for massaging the limbs and back.
Therefore, Li Zimeng quickly memorized it.
After the massage, moxibustion will follow immediately.
Moxa sticks are available in any Chinese medicine shop, so they are not difficult to buy.
While waiting, Wang Jinsong went out and bought some moxa sticks.
Then, Su Zhengnan lit the moxa stick and, while explaining the acupoints for moxibustion, said:
"There are only three or four acupoints for moxibustion, but you must remember to control the temperature during moxibustion to avoid burns, and keep warm after moxibustion."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Zimeng nodded in agreement.
The moxibustion session was short, lasting only about ten minutes.
Then, Su Zhengnan turned to Li Zimeng and instructed her, "From now on, do it once in the morning and once in the evening. It's best to do both massage and moxibustion, as this will enhance the effect."
Li Zimeng repeatedly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you so much, Dr. Su."
After the massage and moxibustion treatment, the old man lying in bed felt noticeably more comfortable than before, and he smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"This young Dr. Su's medical skills are truly amazing!"
"After just this massage and moxibustion, I feel like my body isn't in as much pain as it was before. This medical skill is truly amazing!"
"Hehe, Mr. Li, you flatter me."
Su Zhengnan's lips curled into a gentle smile as he softly said:
"Next, the old man will not only need to continue with massage and moxibustion treatments, but also dietary conditioning. In addition, I will prescribe another prescription for the old man, and you can just get the medicine according to the prescription."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan reached out and took the paper and pen from Wang Jinsong's hand.
After a moment's thought, he picked up his pen and wrote out a prescription with swift, flowing strokes.
"Thank you, Dr. Su. I don't know how to express my gratitude. My father has seen so many doctors without any improvement, but your treatment has worked immediately."
Li Zimeng happily accepted the prescription and bowed deeply to Su Zhengnan to express her heartfelt gratitude.
Su Zhengnan smiled and waved his hand, responding humbly, "There's no need for such formalities; healing the sick and saving lives is a doctor's duty."
At this moment, Wang Jinsong's teacher's wife, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected, "It's getting late, Dr. Su, why don't you stay for dinner?"
"No, no, I'm so sorry, I have work to do at school and can't stay away for too long."
Su Zhengnan quickly declined his teacher's wife's kind invitation and then turned his gaze to Wang Jinsong, who was standing to the side.
Wang Jinsong snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Ah, yes, yes, Dr. Su has to go to work!"
“I brought him here to see the doctor, and I only managed to get him here during his rest time. I was afraid there wouldn’t be much time for him to stay for a meal.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinsong's teacher's wife smiled and said, "Is that so? Then we won't disturb Dr. Su's return to work. We will definitely visit you in person to express our gratitude next time we have time."
"There's no need for a personal visit to express my gratitude. Mr. Li's condition requires gradual recuperation. If he encounters any problems during this time, he can call me anytime."
Su Zhengnan smiled and said something, then took his leave and left.
Wang Jinsong followed Su Zhengnan downstairs.
After arriving at the door and getting into his car, Wang Jinsong couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Su, is it really true that my teacher's illness can be cured as you say?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you follow my treatment method, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Old Li has a high chance of recovering."
Although Mr. Li's condition was complicated, it was not actually that difficult for Su Zhengnan.
As long as you distinguish between primary and secondary factors, you can treat the condition with a combined prescription.
The prescriptions he used before were combined formulas, but they mainly targeted the main symptoms. As for other minor ailments, the focus was on "nurturing" them.
"Then I'm relieved. Thank you so much this time."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinsong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Su Zhengnan with a smile.
Su Zhengnan glanced at the time and said, "Vice Dean Wang, you'd better not thank me. Getting me back to the academy is the most important thing. Can't you see it's almost dark?"
"Ah, yes, yes, let's go back to school first."
Wang Jinsong nodded, then started the car and drove Su Zhengnan away.
When they returned to the Beijing Film Academy.
It's almost 8 p.m.!
After parking his car, Wang Jinsong greeted Su Zhengnan with a smile, "Dr. Su, let's go have dinner first. This meal is on me."
"Haha, alright, since Vice Dean Wang is treating, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Su Zhengnan smiled and agreed.
This dinner hosted by Wang Jinsong is completely different in nature from the dinner hosted by the Li family before!
Moreover, the two had already returned to the Beijing Film Academy, and Su Zhengnan still had to work the night shift.
Therefore, we can only eat at the school cafeteria.
Therefore, Su Zhengnan did not refuse Wang Jinsong's invitation to dinner.
The two quickly arrived at the school cafeteria, ordered a few dishes, and sat down to eat together.
To be honest, Wang Jinsong is increasingly impressed with Su Zhengnan's medical skills.
The two chatted quite a bit during the meal, but most of the conversation revolved around Professor Wang Jinsong's illness.
.............
After dinner.
After leaving the school cafeteria, Su Zhengnan and Wang Jinsong parted ways.
Su Zhengnan turned and walked towards the school clinic.
Inside the school clinic at this moment.
Zhou Zixuan sat at the nurses' station, watching dramas with a bored expression, while Sun Huaiwei sat in the outpatient room with a thick copy of "Huangdi Neijing" in her arms, looking like she was studying seriously!
Su Zhengnan glanced at the two of them at the school clinic before returning to his own clinic.
Ding!
It was at this moment.
The system's mechanical notification sound rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing today's hidden mission: Treat a retired teacher from the school. You will receive the reward 'Proficiency in the Traditional Chinese Medicine classic *Qianjin Yifang*'.]
In an instant.
The system then crammed a whole bunch of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge into Su Zhengnan's mind.
It should be noted that "Qianjin Yifang" is one of the medical books written by Sun Simiao, the Sage of Medicine.
It is also one of the most important classic texts of traditional Chinese medicine in my country's history.
This book is also known as "Qianjin Fang" (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold). It consists of thirty volumes and contains more than 2,900 prescriptions, treatises, and methods.
From traditional Chinese medicine to gynecological diseases, from typhoid fever to pediatric diseases, as well as discussions on health preservation and longevity in traditional Chinese medicine, the entire body of the body embodies the combination of longevity and disease prevention and treatment as described in traditional Chinese medicine.
This demonstrates just how extensive the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine contained in this medical book is.
After a while.
After Su Zhengnan had digested the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine he had acquired, his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine naturally reached a new level.
Tap tap tap...
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.
A boy wearing glasses stepped into the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, walked straight to Su Zhengnan, sat down, and said:
"Dr. Su, look at all these rashes on my body! They're so itchy!"
"Hmm, a rash?"
Su Zhengnan got up, walked forward, and lifted the other person's clothes. He saw that the other person's abdomen, hands, and back were covered with dense red rashes, and some places were scratched and had a faint trace of blood seeping out.
When did these symptoms start? How long have they been going on?
As Su Zhengnan asked the question, he reached out and placed his hand on the other person's wrist.
The boy scratched his itch with his other hand and said, "It started this afternoon. I don't know what happened. Suddenly I felt very itchy all over, and then these rashes appeared."
Su Zhengnan frowned slightly, sensing that the pulse was weak and thready, and the tongue was plump and round.
This is a condition where the essence of the Lesser Yin fails to transform into Qi, and the Qi and blood do not circulate properly.
It's clear that the reason the other person developed these itchy rashes is due to a drug allergy, and they've likely taken quite a few medications.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan picked up a hard pen and wrote a few sentences on the other person's medical record, then asked:
Have you been taking any medication these past few days?
"Ah, this..."
The boy's face immediately turned red, as if he had suddenly become shy, and he lowered his head, unsure of how to answer the question.
"What? You're too embarrassed to answer what medicine you're taking?"
Su Zhengnan looked at the boy with a surprised expression and asked, "You didn't take some kind of mutton-enhancing drug, did you?"
Boy: "......."
