Chapter 10 Acupuncture

"Yes, I took acupuncture."

"Your grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner, why don't you inherit his medical skills and inherit Chinese medicine?"

"You don't know? The current dispute between Chinese and Western medicine? Some people say that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience and deceives. Nothing useful. Those who study Chinese medicine feel inferior, and it is difficult to find a job. Therefore, I had to study Western medicine, but I didn't want to give up Chinese medicine, so I enrolled in acupuncture. In addition, I already have the qualification to practice Chinese medicine. ”

"Really? So aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to find a job? Do you think TCM is not a pseudoscience? Will it be useful to learn? He asked me a barrage.

"Fool, what did you do without what I learned? As for work? Am I not studying Western medicine? ”

"That's right, I forgot, you're about to graduate. By the way, I'll give you a book, would you like it? ”

"What book? The way you are, do you have something for me? "It's not that I underestimate him, he doesn't even look like a person anymore, will he have something for me? No kidding.

"If there is something for you, there is something, but you also have to study Chinese medicine well." He said solemnly. Then, without warning, a book appeared in my hand. Antique, the cover of the cover is written with a brush letter: Acupuncture and moxibustion. There is no signature, just a very simple name.

I didn't need to read it to know that this was a book of acupuncture and moxibustion secret techniques, I didn't care about looking at what I liked, and I was attracted to his amazing skills, and asked him: "How did you do it?" Teach me. ”

"Are you sure? Not afraid of being pulled out for dissection? He said coldly.

"Don't be afraid, just think it's magic."

"That's not good, just the basics, you have to learn for three or five years, are you sure you want to learn?"

"Then forget it, I'd better learn my own medical skills, at least I can rely on this to treat people, and I can make ends meet." I said dejectedly.

"Mix up food and clothing? You also underestimate me, and you can't use that book alone when you learn it. ”

"That's good, I'll try."

After the conversation with him, I called my parents and told them to go back to my grandfather's house for dinner, and I was back. Listening to my parents' words of surprise, I also felt warm.

When I went back to my grandfather, I helped him diagnose and treat a few patients, and when I was free, my grandfather solemnly called me aside, took out something, and said to me, "Suying, you are going to practice medicine independently, are you ready?" ”

I just learned that my medical license has come down, and from now on, I can practice medicine independently within the scope of the above notes.

I excitedly agreed, took my medical license, couldn't wait to open it, looked at the Chinese medicine license on it, and the scope of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and squinted happily. Holding it to his chest, he swore an oath and said, "I know, grandfather, I will definitely follow your example, work hard to practice medicine, study, and relieve the pain of more people." ”

In front of my house, before the Chinese New Year, it will definitely be the old couplet, why not put medicine on the dust, I hope that people in the world are free of disease.

I was explained by my grandfather since I was a child, and I memorized it.

My grandfather looked at me happily and smiled happily.

"Doctor, doctor. Come and take a look. What happened to my child? ”

My grandfather and I were alarmed by an urgent shout, and a man ran in in a panic with a child in his arms. The child was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was unconscious.

I hurriedly ran over and helped the man put the child on the bed, and the surgeon came over and began to give the child a pulse, while I took a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor and began to measure his blood pressure and listen to his heartbeat.

In my ears, his heart was beating so fast that it was definitely faster than normal. The condition was urgent, and after my grandfather took his pulse, he began to inquire, and I measured my blood pressure and body temperature.

"For some reason, he was eating in the kitchen, when he heard a sudden scream and fell to the ground, and he didn't wake up." When the man found out that we had started the consultation, he calmed down a little and answered his grandfather's inquiry.

"Uh, sudden, faint." My grandfather thought about it for a while and said to me, call the hospital, I'm afraid it's epilepsy, and it's a very serious sudden trauma. Let them send an ambulance. “

"Doctor, what's going on?" When the man saw that his grandfather was not treated, he called an ambulance and hurriedly asked.

"Did your child fall or get a head injury the other day?" Grandpa asked.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, he fell down on the hillside, but he will be fine in a moment. Does it have anything to do with today's illness? ”

"Don't worry, he won't be in danger for the time being, but he can't be underestimated, it should be that he fell and injured his head at that time, but there were no symptoms at that time because the amount of bleeding was small, and after a few days, the amount of bleeding was large, and the nerve was compressed after condensation, so there was acute epilepsy and coma. After going to the hospital for examination, the cause can be diagnosed before symptomatic treatment, otherwise, it is indiscriminate medicine and irresponsible to scolding to death. ”

Grandpa explained to him. When the man heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he called the ambulance himself and waited for the ambulance to arrive. It's not that we are not in a hurry, but we don't know the extent of his injuries now, so it is better to wait here, and once there is a change in his condition, it is better to take temporary treatment measures, so as not to have a seizure on the way, which is dangerous.

"Now that the reason has been roughly determined, why don't you take action?" In my mind's eye, Taneyong asked, and he didn't understand why we didn't do it.

"In his case, the methods of Western medicine are better, and the danger is not great, so it is best to let them go to the hospital for treatment." I explained.

"Hmph, if you had studied the acupuncture book I gave you, you wouldn't have said that." He said indignantly.

At this time, the ambulance in the town arrived, and the judgment of the grandfather who had been reviewed by the car was the same, I handed over the materials for the initial diagnosis to the doctor, and completed our task, watching the ambulance pull the man and his child away, just at this time, the parents also returned, so our family closed the door of the clinic and began to cook and eat.

With my mother here, I will never be allowed to do it, and even doing it is my father's task, and my grandfather and I are only responsible for eating. So, I took out the acupuncture theory that Chongyong gave me and showed it to my grandfather.

"What book? Where did it come from? ”

"A book of acupuncture, don't care where it comes from, just see how it is, is it useful?" I said it directly, and although I thought it would be useful in my heart, I would never say it on my lips. Who gave me the seed forever?

"Okay, I'll take a look. Hey, yes, it's still an ancient book. As he spoke, Grandpa opened the book and began to examine it carefully. It didn't take long for his expression to become serious, and it seemed that this book was quite important.

"I don't want to ask where it came from, but what you can do is that this book is very good. It's much better than our family heirloom, and if it weren't for my age, I would have specialized in it. You have to cherish it, keep it, but also learn it, learn it, you will be inexhaustible, just this thing can make you a famous doctor. Grandpa looked at me for a long time before he said to me solemnly.

My eyes widened in surprise, I didn't expect that Tanega's casual thick book had such a great knowledge, and I was frightened by my grandfather's words.

"Famous doctor, how many people will be worthy of this title?" I was amazed. But I also felt the pride of Taneong.

"It seems that this is also providential. You wait a while, something can be given to you too. With that, my grandfather got up and went into his room, and it took a long time for him to come out under my gaze, holding a large box in his hand, antique.

I've seen this thing, and I know what it is, and when I saw my grandfather take it out, I couldn't help but stand up respectfully.

"Sit down, you don't have to. Although this thing is a family heirloom, your uncle will never ask for it, so he has to give it to you. As he spoke, my grandfather handed over the things in his hand, and I quickly caught them with both hands and held them in my arms. Reluctant to put it down.

My grandfather gave me one of the heirlooms passed down from his ancestors, a neat and complete set of ancient acupuncture needles. From the smallest millimeter needle to the largest knife needle, there are many of them, absolutely complete.

My uncle was admitted to the School of Foreign Languages, and he was out of the category of medical skills, so now I am the only one who studies medicine, and today I got another book on acupuncture. So, my grandfather took out this set of acupuncture needles and passed it on to me directly.

"Take it, don't be embarrassed, give it to your uncle, he just gave it to you as a thought, and there is a place to use it."

I hurriedly promised to thank my grandfather. He looked at me with a smile and said, "Thanks for what?" I still want to see you make him a famous doctor. ”

What else do I have to say, my mother came out with the food, and my father was still serving the food inside. Seeing what I was holding, my mother also understood what was going on, but told me not to live up to my grandfather's expectations, study hard, make progress every day, and be a famous doctor to make my grandfather happy.

I said yes, and was about to start eating when my phone rang. It was my counselor who called.

"Liu Fuying, why did you run away?" Without waiting for me to answer, he just talked about the reason for the call.

"Listen, you have to come back tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you students who are going to graduate and intern will have a teacher to lead a team to conduct a free clinic, this is a political task, you are not allowed to ask for leave, even if you are sick, you have to show up on a drip. Otherwise, hmph, you can think for yourself. After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly, and asked my grandfather and mother to look at me and wait for my explanation.
