Chapter 29 Chinese medicine is really not a panacea

Zhang Yang walked into An Min's clinic, where Dr. An Min was taking the pulse of a female patient.

The female patient looked to be in her 30s, with tiredness on her face and a worried look on her eyebrows.

In March, the temperature has risen.

She was still wearing a patched worn padded jacket.

The small white dot fabric with a red background to make a cotton jacket is now difficult to buy, like a garment from the 70s of the last century, and it looks like this dress has been around for years.

Dr. An Min carefully checked her pulse, and next to his right hand was a warm water bag.

This reminded Zhang Yang of one thing.

A good surgeon's hands are cold all year round, while a good Chinese medicine practitioner's hands are warm all year round.

Excellent surgeons are present in the operating room almost all year round.

The temperature in the operating room is basically constant between 24 and 25 degrees.

Some small hospitals don't control the temperature in the operating room so well, so it's often lower.

Around 20 degrees, it has basically become commonplace.

The sterilized surgical equipment is cold, so it is difficult for a doctor's hands to keep warm all year round.

And a Chinese medicine practitioner, his hands are basically warm all year round.

Traditional Chinese medicine needs to take the pulse, and it is said that a warm pair of hands on the patient's wrist can increase the patient's confidence to a certain extent.

A warm pair of hands can make patients more dependent on doctors. In this way, it also plays a good role in their physical recovery.

So, there is a place for a perennial hot water bottle next to Dr. Anmin.

Medical ethics are reflected in the details.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yang is optimistic about Dr. An Min.

Dr. An Min looked up at Zhang Yang. The expression was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled and nodded to him.

The patient said to Dr. An Min: "Doctor, I have been to many hospitals for treatment, I have taken a lot of medicines, and I have been to both Chinese and Western medicine, but none of them have cured my condition. I read a lot of people on the Internet saying that I am Gong Han. Is uterine cold not conducive to fetal growth?"

Dr. An Min frowned and diagnosed for a moment. Said to the patient: "You are kidney yang deficiency, kidney yang deficiency leads to poor circulation of qi and blood in the second pulse of Chong Ren, and internal cold appears in yang deficiency, and this internal cold is not manifested in uterine cold, but more manifested in a systemic clinical symptoms, such as fatigue, lack of energy, low vitality, easy fatigue, fear of cold, headache as soon as you eat cold food, diarrhea, etc.; from the perspective of reproduction, women will feel lower abdominal distension and pain, menstrual disorders, and even amenorrhea; menstrual period is delayed, small, dark, lumpy or dysmenorrhea; uterus, ovaries, ** Fibroids, cysts, hyperplasia, etc."

"I've been a doctor for over 30 years. But I've never heard of Gong Hanyi. Now the Internet is overwhelming with Gong Han's remarks. To put it bluntly, they are actually some unscrupulous merchants. It's just some of the headlines set up to make money. Don't listen to those things, and don't believe them. ”

"Including some foot posts on the Internet, you can do what you can do if you post it, and even more. Invented some of this kind of liquid. I can't describe it specifically, and it's hard to say what the manufacturer is, in short, Chinese medicine has never appeared any liquid, smeared on the body, curing all diseases, one said. ”

"It's been a long time since you've had your period. Can you recall when the last time it was?"

"Doctor, it's been about three months. I have been using Western medicine for the past few years. But the price of Western medicine is too expensive, and we are ordinary families who can't afford it, and I've heard many people say it. You have indeed cured a lot of infertile patients. Our home is a small mountain village, hundreds of miles away. You must help me, our family really doesn't have much money to spend. ”

Dr. An Min finished taking the pulse and asked the lady what kind of treatment plan she had taken with Chinese medicine over the years.

The woman's husband took out a packet of Chinese medicine from his arms. Dr. Aimin opened the packet. Sniffed, tasted with my mouth, and then picked up the glass of water next to it and rinsed my mouth...

This medication regimen is generally accurate. It's just that there is a slight problem with this medicine. Because all the current Chinese medicines are artificially cultivated.

If it is artificially cultivated, there will be a disadvantage. It is different from herbs that grow in the wild. He doesn't have that many medicinal properties.

Therefore, many Chinese medicine doctors are not good at curing diseases, to a large extent, because the medicinal properties of artificially cultivated herbs are not enough.

There is no problem with ancient prescriptions, but a problem caused by the number of medicinal properties. In the past, there were Shennong's tastes of herbs, and later there were Li Shizhen's compendiums of materia medica to taste herbs.

Why did Li Shizhen live in the Compendium of Materia Medica? The main reason is that in the past, with the development of time, new diseases will appear, and after the emergence of new diseases. According to modern medicine. Certain antibodies will appear in the human body, and the virus will also develop a certain resistance to previous drugs. So the prescription is slowly changing. The dosage of each medicine will be added or subtracted.

Why is it said that Chinese medicine is not the same? The patient's disease is a process of occurrence, development, and extinction.

In this process, TCM will control and treat the disease reasonably according to the amount of medicine.

Therefore, when a qualified TCM treats a patient, it is divided into several courses, and the dosage of each course is different.

Your treatment plan, I have seen before, whether it is Chinese or Western medicine, it is completely based on medicine, which shows that there are no organic lesions in your uterus and ovaries.

This time I thought, if you follow my treatment plan, I plan to let you live here, and then, with my medicine, you can eat and see. I'll give you acupuncture treatment.

After all, it has been a stubborn disease for more than ten years. What about me, slowly treat you, you can rent a small house in our urban area, the rent is not expensive, about 1000 yuan a month, I give you the diagnosis and treatment, it is not very expensive, the whole course of treatment should be about half a year, acupuncture, I can give you free, you and your husband work here if the treatment is no problem at all, the principal of Chinese medicine for half a year is about 3000 yuan, this needs to be paid by yourself...

Well, if you agree with my treatment plan, you can rent a house in the surrounding area, and then we will start receiving treatment tomorrow...

The couple of patients who came from other places did not expect Dr. An Min to charge them such a loss of treatment fees, and the gratitude on their faces was beyond words.

Alright, you can come over tomorrow.

The one below is also an infertility patient. The woman was also about thirty years old. She has been treated by Dr. An Min for about half a year.

Dr. An Min touched his pulse, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, Congratulations, you are pregnant, if I guessed correctly, well, you are probably more than a month pregnant, and this baby is a girl, very beautiful.
