Chapter Ninety-Three: Checking the Pulse
Chapter Ninety-Three
From ancient times to the present, there are many examples of Chinese medicine being used to hang people in danger.
And the most common important thing used for hanging is ginseng.
Ginseng is known as the "king of herbs" by Chinese medicine practitioners, and is known as the "great tonic vitality". Li Shizhen said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that ginseng can "replenish the five internal organs, calm the spirit, fix the soul, stop palpitations, remove evil spirits, brighten the eyes, be happy, and improve intelligence", and "cure all deficiency diseases of men and women", which is simply a panacea for all diseases.
"King of Herbs" ginseng has a variety of health effects. According to the traditional pharmacopoeia, ginseng can consolidate the original and return to the yuan, protect life and strengthen the body, and prolong life.
Although ginseng is a great tonic, it cannot be eaten at will, especially for cancer patients.
Zhou Yang looked at it carefully, judging from his face, the patient's qi and blood were insufficient and his body temperature was too high, so he didn't dare to determine the specifics of Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang was sure of one thing, that is, there was more than one disease in this old man's body.
Zhou frowned, Zhou Yang stepped forward and said, "Old Guo, Mr. Song, can you let me diagnose Old Song?" ”
Song Ziyang naturally would not object, although he felt that Zhou Yang's medical skills would not be much better, but since it was valued by his son, he must also have his own characteristics, especially if he was still a Chinese medicine doctor.
Guo Yunshen frowned, but he didn't object, he just felt that this young man was too confident.
"Doctor Zhou, I'm in trouble." Song Ziyang nodded at Zhou Yang and said.
Seeing the two nodding, Zhou Yang walked to the hospital bed and sat down, carefully examined Old Man Song's body, and it can be said that he almost checked his whole body.
Then he straightened the old man's arm, closed his eyes and carefully checked his pulse.
The pulse is heavy, slight, thin and weak, this is Zhou Yang's feeling.
So it seems that the fatal disease should be kidney disease.
The kidneys store essence, which is the foundation of innate nature and the root of vitality. When the kidney qi is abundant, the pulse is constantly pressed, and the ulnar pulse is strong, which is said to have roots. Clinically, the common pulse signs of kidney disease are heavy, micro, thin, and weak pulses. In the fourth chapter of the Spiritual Body, the Evil Qi and Viscera Diseases describe the pulse of kidney disease as follows: "The kidney pulse is very acute and bone epilepsy, and the slight urgency is the sinking and running dolphin, and the feet are not collected, and they cannot be used before and after. "Therefore, clinically, when we find a deep pulse or a weak pulse, we should pay attention to whether there is kidney disease.
However, it is not only the problem of kidney disease, the patient's pulse is also slippery, that is, there is a halo in the pulse, and then the peripheral pulse is aggravated, and then the slippage of the pulse is aggravated.
Zhou Yang frowned, this disease is not easy to treat!
Then thinking about the physical characteristics of the patient before, Zhou Yang roughly counted in his heart.
"That's it." Zhou Yang said: "I still need to ask my family members about some other situations. ”
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Song Xiaobin was a little anxious, you said yes before you sat down for two minutes, isn't this child's play?
"Dr. Zhou, do you want to see again? Are you too fast? Song Xiaobin hurriedly said.
"No need, I have a rough idea of the old man's condition." Zhou Yang shook his head slightly.
"In that case, let's go downstairs and discuss it, and see if Dr. Zhou has any good solutions?"
Everyone else nodded.
Back in the previous living room, everyone returned to their seats.
Song Ziyang's face was very bad, there was no way, the old man's body was too important to the Song family.
"Doctor Zhou, I don't know what you think of the old man's condition? Speak up. Old man Guo Yunshen said first.
Zhou Yang thought for a moment before saying: "From the patient's pulse, the patient's kidney is wrong, and it is the most important disease, the patient's pulse is heavy, subtle, thin and weak, it can be said that the patient's kidney disease is fatal, but just kidney disease, although the patient's disease requires some energy, but it does not mean that it cannot be cured, but I feel other diseases from the patient's pulse, the most serious of which is gallbladder inflammation." ”
Old Man Guo nodded: "We have also found these, but there is no good treatment, the only way is to operate to cut off the gallbladder, but the patient's age, coupled with kidney disease, we are not very sure." ”
In fact, gallbladder inflammation is a very common disease and is one of the diseases with a relatively high incidence.
According to its clinical manifestations and clinical course, it can be divided into two types: acute and chronic, and often coexists with cholelithiasis. Severe pain or cramping in the right upper quadrant, mostly acute cholecystitis caused by stones or parasite incarceration obstruction of the gallbladder neck, the pain is often sudden, very severe, or colic-like. In non-obstructive acute cholecystitis of the cystic duct, the pain in the right upper quadrant is generally not severe, but mostly persistent, and the pain can also be aggravated as the gallbladder inflammation progresses, and the pain is radioactive, and the most common radiation sites are the right shoulder and the lower corner of the right scapula.
However, when gallbladder inflammation worsens and radiating pain under the right shoulder occurs, the patient's pulse will appear in the right guan. Slippery pulses occur when inflammation is exacerbated and systemic symptoms develop, which is an overall change in the pulse.
However, judging from the purchase of Old Man Song, the old man's gallbladder inflammation should belong to the later stage.
When he heard the operation, Zhou Yang frowned.
"Surgery? Although gallbladder inflammation is difficult to treat, there is no need for surgery, right? Zhou Yang frowned.
Before Guo Lao could speak, Zhang Yunlai, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Doctor Zhou, as a qualified modern doctor, knows that the symptoms in the later stage of gallbladder inflammation in the Langdao can only be cured by cutting off the gallbladder. ”
"Cut the gallbladder?" Zhou Yang frowned: "Who stipulates that the gallbladder must be cut out if you have the symptoms of gallbladder inflammation in the later stage?" What will happen to the patient's gallbladder, and have you ever thought about this problem? Is it good to cut the gallbladder? Cutting out the patient's organs at every turn is not what a qualified doctor would do, is it that one day the patient has a headache and has to cut off all the heads? ”
How many organs should there be in a human body? How can human beings survive if they cut this and that at every turn?
This is also an important issue in the medical profession, and it is also one of the topics of debate between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
There is a saying in the medical profession that Western medicine treats the symptoms, and Chinese medicine treats the root cause.
Although I don't know when and from whom this sentence appeared, since Zhou Yang learned medical skills, when he heard such words again, he had a feeling of being struck by lightning.
Such a sentence seems to have been around for many years, and I don't know who first proposed it. Not only is this sentence popular among the people, but many Chinese medicine practitioners also put this sentence on their lips, which makes Zhou Yang feel very disgusted.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always focused on treating both the symptoms and the root causes.
For example, stomach disease, Western medicine only removes all the symptoms of your stomach disease, but does not completely remove your stomach disease, but Chinese medicine directly cures the stomach disease from the root. ps:Some book friends said that the sickle dragged the plot.,The sickle cried.,It's not that I want to drag the plot.,But I can't always write the lottery.,It's drawn this month.,If you don't do anything, you'll be drawn next month.,If you write like this.,I guess you won't have to kill me.。 Brothers, it's not easy for me, let's be considerate of each other!
