Chapter 18: Following the Teacher (2)
Seeing this, Liao Lao TCM was not angry, and said with a faint smile: "You can record Zhang San's illness according to the thinking of Western medicine, and at the same time write down the questions I just asked, and take these questions to read the "Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine" again at night. ”
"Oh. Yan Shubo agreed honestly, and then found a pen and paper according to the other party's instructions, and wrote down the questions one by one, without any indication of disobedience to the other party's words at all.
Old Chinese Medicine Liao shook his head lightly, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, taking an apprentice is a very troublesome thing, quite a headache, and I don't know if this kid is worried at the moment.
At this moment, a male patient in his thirties came to Liao Lao TCM after being diagnosed and prescribed by four senior brothers and sisters, and handed over a prescription paper.
Old Chinese Medicine Liao took the prescription and quickly glanced at it, then looked at the male patient head-on, and asked directly, "Where is it uncomfortable?"
"Stomach hurts. I had been in pain for more than a month, and I bought Western medicine in the hospital but it didn't work, so the doctor asked me to find a Chinese medicine doctor. ”
Hearing this, Liao Lao TCM was silent, gently grabbed the male patient's right hand, began to check the pulse, and after taking the pulse, he began to look at the tongue, and then pressed the painful position according to the male patient's instructions, and then began to ask questions: "What is the stomach pain method?"
The male patient groaned for a moment when he heard this, as if he was trying to remember the feeling of pain, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't say how I feel, anyway, I just feel stomach pain, and sometimes I have a little acid reflux, and I don't want to eat." ”
"It's a swelling pain, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, it's just swelling pain, feeling that the stomach is swollen, as if there is a breath swaying in it, and from time to time I have a few burps, acid reflux, and I am uncomfortable to death. ”
When the male patient said this, he looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor Liao with an anxious face and said, "Doctor, what is my condition? It can't be stomach cancer, right?"
Old Chinese medicine doctor Liao smiled faintly when he heard this: "Have you done a gastroscopy?"
The male patient nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, I have done it in several hospitals, all of them say that it is chronic gastritis and reflux esophagitis, and after taking some stomach protection medicine, it was a little effective at the time, and it was back to its original shape the next day." Doctor, did you say that the gastroscopy in the hospital was not done carefully and missed something?"
At this point, the male patient had a sad face and a painful look on his face.
When he saw the male patient's expression of being forced to find sorrow, the old Chinese medicine doctor Liao showed a serious expression on his face, and a smile appeared on his cheeks: "Are you worried about stomach cancer?"
The male patient nodded again and again, staring at the old Chinese medicine doctor Liao without blinking: "Well, I'm just worried about this problem! You said that if I get cancer, I won't live for a few years, what are you trying to do?"
Hearing this, Old Chinese Medicine Liao glanced at Yan Shubo, and did not answer the other party directly, but asked: "Do you usually drink a lot, have a bad temper, and have a hot personality?"
The male patient nodded when he heard this: "Well, I often drink, but I can't help it, others invite you to drink in the business field, and you have to drink." ”
At this point, the male patient seemed to think of something: "Does this have anything to do with stomach pain?"
"Of course. ”
"So you mean I'm going to quit drinking?"
"It's best to quit. ”
After listening to Liao Lao's answer, the male patient breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was sad: "Okay, listen to the doctor." Doctor, you are really careful and responsible. ”
Old Chinese medicine doctor Liao smiled faintly, as if he didn't seem to be surprised by this, and then asked a few more questions and urine and urine conditions, then stopped talking nonsense and prescribed the male patient.
After sending away the male patient, Old Chinese Medicine Doctor Liao turned his head to look at Yan Shubo, who was taking notes, and said seriously: "What is your diagnosis of that person just now?"
"Chronic gastritis, right?"
"Where's the sick place?"
"In the stomach. ”
"What about the cause?"
"Drinking. ”
"Except for drinking?"
"Huh?" Yan Shubo was stunned by this question, he really couldn't think of any other answer besides drinking, the conversation between the two just now, in addition to drinking, is it a bad temper, could it be that a bad temper can also lead to stomach problems?
Alas, whatever, let's try it.
Yan Shubo said cautiously: "Master, can a bad temper also cause stomach problems?"
When Liao Lao TCM heard this, he did not answer Yan Shubo's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "What are you angry about?"
Yan Shubo pondered for a moment when he heard this, and quickly remembered it in his heart, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes: anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, and sadness hurts the spleen. ”
"Well, what does the liver correspond to among the five elements?"
"Wood. ”
"What is Mu Ke in the Five Elements, and what does it correspond to in the Five Flavors?"
Yan Shubo was a little confused when he heard this, he didn't understand why the master asked some irrelevant questions, but he still replied honestly: "Mu Ketu, in the five flavors correspond to sour." ”
"Then what does the stomach correspond to in the five elements?"
"Dirt. ”
As soon as the word "soil" came out, Yan Shubo suddenly realized, and said with a surprised smile: "Master, you mean to say that anger hurts the liver, and the liver belongs to wood, and the wood is earth, which in turn leads to the occurrence of stomach problems, causing abdominal pain, bloating, and acid reflux, right?"
Old Chinese medicine doctor Liao smiled with relief when he heard this, and gently stroked his beard with one hand and said, "Well, sure enough, the children can be taught." But you also missed a point, drinking alcohol is not only bad for the stomach, but also for the liver. ”
"Well, yes, yes, yes. When Yan Shubo heard this, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught some important clues, but he couldn't reach it. After a flash, there was no trace of it.
Liao Lao TCM did not notice Yan Shubo's strange appearance, and was quite satisfied with Yan Shubo's performance, and the expression on his face was extremely relaxed.
The next patient was a patient with low back pain, who walked over with one hand on his back, bending over with a painful look on his face.
After some inquiries from the master, the treatment was probably the same as the previous two, and after the treatment of Western medicine was ineffective, he turned to seek the help of Chinese medicine.
After the prescription was issued, Old Chinese Medicine Liao turned his head again and looked at Yan Shubo, a strange smile flashed between the corners of his mouth: "Xiao Yan, where is the location of this patient with low back pain?"
"In the ...... of the waist. ”
As soon as the word "waist" came out, Yan Shubo suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Master, patients with low back pain don't seem to have anything to do with the five internal organs, right?"
"Isn't it irrelevant?" Old Chinese Medicine Liao had a conspiracy on his face when he heard this: "According to the understanding of Western medicine, what kind of lesion is generally caused by low back pain?"
Yan Shubo pondered for a moment when he heard this: "Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, lumbar degenerative diseases, lumbar tuberculosis, bone tumors and other lumbar spine lesions can all cause low back pain. ”
"What is the lumbar spine?"
"The lumbar spine is the lumbar spine. As soon as the words came out, Yan Shubo suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Oh, no, the lumbar vertebrae are bones." ”
"Among the five viscera, which viscera is the main bone?"
"Which dirty?" Yan Shubo was a little confused by a series of questions from Liao Lao Chinese Medicine, he had only read the book for a month, and he only had time to read it after work, he was not too familiar with it, and these problems were very complicated, and they were really hard to work on, and he felt dizzy and swollen after a while.
This time was not so lucky, before Yan Shubo could come up with an answer, a young female patient in her twenties came straight to the door, but saw her bending over and pressing her stomach with one hand, and slowly walked in with Liao Qiang's support, with an extremely painful expression on her face and cold sweat on her forehead.
"Qiangzi, what's wrong with your daughter-in-law?"
Seeing the painful appearance of the young female patient, the old Chinese medicine doctor Liao felt that something was wrong with the situation, so he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Liao Qiang was confused when he heard this, and he couldn't figure it out: "I bought her a cup of iced milk tea to drink when I was shopping with her in the morning, and she felt a little pain after drinking it. Grandpa Liao, do you think there's something wrong with the milk tea?"
Liao Lao TCM did not make a sound when he heard this, but grabbed Liao Qiang's daughter-in-law's hand with one hand, gently touched the pulse, and then smiled: "It's okay, it's not a big deal." Your daughter-in-law has a stomachache because of the cold, which is called stomach cramps. ”
Old Chinese medicine Liao said this, waved his hand at Yan Shubo and said, "Xiao Yan, you go and get a hot water bottle for Liao Qiang's daughter-in-law, and by the way, make her a cup of brown sugar ginger tea to drink." ”
"Oh. Yan Shubo responded when he heard this, quickly boiled the water, and glanced back at Liao Lao TCM, but saw that the latter left Liao Qiang's daughter-in-law aside, and there was no sign of prescribing medicine, and his heart couldn't help but be full of questions: "Could it be that the master plans to use a hot water bottle and a cup of brown sugar ginger tea to cure stomach cramps?" ”
