Chapter 41: Fever (41)
Tonight, I didn't turn on the lights.
I just lay quietly on the bed, turned the brightness of my phone to the darkest, and said Dongdong......
Well, the summer wind in my hometown is actually so cool, I like it.
However, there is no such thing as "perfection" in the world.
In addition to the cool wind in the summer in my hometown, there will be a lot of small mosquitoes, a kind of small mosquitoes that are much smaller than mosquitoes, and if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to find their existence.
They suck blood no less than mosquitoes, and after being bitten, the itch is several times stronger than the itch after being bitten by a mosquito!
My heels have long been covered with their "glorious achievements", my "scars".
Fortunately, this small mosquito is generally only rampant during the day, and it is generally a battlefield for mosquitoes at night.
Of course, there is another special thing about summer in my hometown, which I don't really like.
When the summer rains come, it's easy to give birth to an ant that we locals call the "big water ant".
The large water ant is nearly a centimeter long, as thick as a toothpick and a half, and has two pairs of long, thin wings.
They generally appear in the evening before or after a rainy day, and the time of appearance is generally between 7 and 9 o'clock in the evening.
They prefer light, and their yearning for light is like a moth to a fire.
So, when they appear at night, those places with lights will be where they aspire. They will fly densely to the place where there is light, as if chasing their hopes.
You can imagine this picture: a large number of flying insects flying into the living room in swarms one after another, crawling on the wall near the light to the lamp that emitted light, and the snow-white wall turned into a visual disaster, crawling with ants. As flying insects fly over your head, several of them may land on your head or neck, and then crawl into your back, and if you don't get them out in time, they may crawl in front of your stomach......
So, this feeling is not an ordinary annoyance.
Fortunately, this big water ant does not bite, but the feeling when it crawls on a person is very uncomfortable.
In addition, the wings of large water ants are easy to break, whether they fall to the ground and break, or they are gently scratched and broken, anyway, the next day, you will see a lot of broken wings of large water ants under the location of the lamp. The large water ants are nowhere to be found, some may have "received lunch boxes", and some may have relied on their instincts to crawl out and return to the fields.
Because the big water ants are out again tonight, I chose not to turn on the lights.
Of course, it's also a good feeling to write without the lights on. It's a bit like rolling the sheets in the dark.
My mood at this moment is plain, because, just at home alone, what passion can I have?
Well, there's nothing wrong with being bland, at least the mind is calm.
This morning, I continued to go to the old Chinese medicine doctor to see a doctor and get medicine.
However, the old Chinese medicine doctor usually only attends the clinic between 8 and 9 a.m., and his son is sitting in the clinic the rest of the time.
Since I went there at more than ten o'clock, it was naturally the son of the old Chinese medicine doctor who helped me see a doctor. The old Chinese medicine doctor said before that even if he is not in the clinic, his son can help me see a doctor, after all, his son has been studying medicine for twenty or thirty years, and he knows a lot about Chinese medicine.
Well, it doesn't matter, whoever of them helps me see, I trust.
There is only one son of the old Chinese medicine doctor in the clinic, eh, let's give him a name, let's call him "Doctor Lu".
Dr. Lu said that he had been helping people in this clinic since 1991, when I was not even born. I'm in my twenties now, and if he was eighteen or twenty when he saw someone in 1991, he'd be in his forties.
Why do I have to calculate and speculate on his age when I am so bad at math?
Well, because he doesn't look like a man in his forties, as if he's only in his thirties, and his oldest children are preparing for the college entrance examination. Phew, well, is the doctor the one who knows how to maintain the most care? After all, the old Chinese medicine doctor looks just as good!
Well, I feel a little bit of envy......
When I entered the clinic, I usually asked him to help me check my pulse, and then waited for him to make a list to grab the medicine. And in the process of him grabbing the medicine, I will find a topic to talk to him to avoid the embarrassment of the quiet scene.
If there are other patients in the clinic, then I may sit quietly and play on my phone and let the other patients chat with Dr. Lu. Because there are more than two people in the same scene, and it belongs to the chat state, there will naturally be no embarrassment.
So I asked him, "Doctor, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, can you diagnose whether there is a problem with the prostate?" I have given an old Chinese medicine doctor a pulse diagnosis before, and he said that I have a problem with my prostate. ”
He smiled: "Actually, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no such term 'prostate' at all. Prostate is the name of Western medicine, and if it is a real Chinese medicine, it will not be used by mixing the terms of Western medicine with the terms of Chinese medicine. ”
I nodded, "Oh, I see. Fortunately, I just asked him to take the pulse and didn't ask him to prescribe medicine. ”
He continued: "Just like the kidneys, from the perspective of Western medicine, the kidneys refer to those two kidneys. However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it contains a lot of things, and it cannot be fixed into one part, all of which are related to each other. ”
I asked, "So what do the kidneys belong to in the five elements?"
He replied: "The kidneys belong to water in the five elements, and the Lord is innate. And the acquired Lord, that is, the spleen, belongs to the earth. ”
I'm going to try to be curious, but I don't have to try, because I'm also curious, "Does the Lord mean innately?"
He smiled back: "Yes, some people inherit the good genes of their parents, so when they are formed in the womb, their kidneys are very good." And some people's parents are not very good, so it is natural to inherit the genes of their parents' bad health, so when they are formed in the womb, their kidneys are relatively weak. Of course, if you are not good in the first place, you can make up for it the day after tomorrow. But if the congenital and acquired are not good, it is more troublesome. ”
I asked, "What about what is good for nature but bad for the day after tomorrow?"
He smiled: "This is also troublesome, but relatively speaking, it is still a bit of a base, and it will not be too weak." ”
I said, "If you are not good in the first place, you can make up for it the day after tomorrow." If you don't have a good day, it's hard to make up for it, whether it's good or bad. Does that mean that the day after tomorrow is more important?"
He nodded: "Yes, the day after tomorrow is really important." Even if a person's congenital is very good, if he does not pay attention to maintenance, overeating, seven emotions and six desires, and intemperance are likely to collapse the body. ”
I hurriedly answered: "Isn't it like some people who have never been sick since they were children, but because they don't pay attention to the maintenance they acquire, they suddenly have a serious illness and can't survive?"
He smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's right. ”
I was also curious: "From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, how to treat those patients who have had their tumors removed?"
He said: "In fact, people who have generally had these serious diseases, such as liver cancer, in fact, no matter what medicine they take, the patient's body may not be able to withstand it, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. However, Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine. ”
I replied: "Yes, I feel that Chinese medicine is relatively gentle, and the effect of Western medicine is too intense." ”
He said: "Traditional Chinese medicine can cure many incurable diseases, and now the country has begun to pay attention to traditional Chinese medicine. However, I think it may be too late to pay attention to TCM now. ”
I was particularly curious about this: "Why?"
His expression began to be a little serious: "Because from 1991 to 1993, the suppression of traditional Chinese medicine was very serious. First of all, traditional Chinese medicine comes from the people and is also spread among the people, and most of the Chinese medicine practitioners with excellent medical skills are rural. In those years, if you want to treat people, you have to have a license, a certificate, and a license, otherwise you will be a "magic stick" that deceives people. Do you think, how can rural people have too much culture to take those certificates? Therefore, at that time, many brilliant medical skills could not be passed on, and they were gradually buried. For example, there were two masters in the vicinity, one was a master who made bone-setting wine, and the other was a medicine that could be prepared after being bitten by a snake, both of which were very effective, but there was no way, because the original suppression has not been passed down now, and they have taken these medical skills away after they died. ”
I think it's a pity, and I'm curious about those who study medicine: "So now those who study medicine, are they all studying more Western medicine and less Chinese medicine?"
He said: "Now I will at least apply for different subjects, and I can only study Chinese medicine, but when I was in college, there were six or seven books on Western medicine, and only one book on Chinese medicine, and when I gave lectures, I just talked about it twice." In this way, even if he is replaced by a smart student now, he may not be able to know how to treat people after learning. After I came out of college, I followed my father to study Chinese medicine, and I studied it for ten or twenty years. ”
I replied: "I feel that there are fewer and fewer Chinese medicines, and most of them are biased towards Western medicine." ”
He shook his head: "There is no way to do this, because many doctors nowadays don't even believe in Chinese medicine, how can it be possible to make Chinese medicine flourish? Some doctors prescribe Chinese medicine to patients, but the patients are always unable to recover, so they prescribe Western medicine to the patient, but I didn't expect the patient to be cured after taking the Western medicine." Therefore, those doctors feel that Chinese medicine is useless, and they trust Western medicine more. But in fact, it is not that Chinese medicine is useless, but that the level of those doctors is not enough, and they do not treat patients well because they do not find problems from their own medical skills, but rely on medicine to solve the problems. My dad told me that whether it is using Chinese medicine or Western medicine to treat patients, if they can't be cured, it is a matter of their own ability level, and it has nothing to do with medicine. ”
I think he said it well!
After that, we continued to talk about the famous doctors of ancient times......
The Chinese culture is broad and profound, and the medical skills that have been passed down for thousands of years really hope that they can be passed down well, rather than passing away with the passage of life.
Well, it was a very rewarding conversation.
No matter how good the conditions are, don't forget to cherish them in the future. In the same way, even if there are no good conditions, they can be created through follow-up efforts.
No matter what you do, if something goes wrong, you must first find the cause from yourself, rather than relying on external factors.
No matter how dark the night is, as long as you calm down and look with your heart, the road is still visible.
In the end, there is no need to leave it alone......
Because, it's late at night, and it's time for me to go to bed.
Well, all step down......
