Chapter 108: The Young Man Is Interested in Acupuncture?
Under the guidance of Wu Dingzhong, Lu Xuan came to the 249 consultation room.
"Doctor Lu, the assistant should not come over until tomorrow, my suggestion is to start again next week?"
"No, just today."
Lu Xuan shook his head and continued: "And Mr. Wu, you also said that I just came, and no patients know about me, and there may not be a single patient who will register me, and even if there is, there may only be one or two, and it is no problem for me to open up and down the system myself." ”
Seeing that Lu Xuan insisted, Wu Dingzhong didn't say more.
"Also, if you didn't advertise it at the health center, there may not be many patients who are new to the hospital and know about you."
Wu Dingzhong still recognizes this very much.
Those who know Lu Xuan will basically go to the Qiushi Street Health Center, but those who don't know Lu Xuan, even if they come to the Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, they will only go to hang Huang Lao, Ye Lao and Zhang Lao, and the probability of hanging Lu Xuan's number is not large, and it can even be said to be very small.
"Okay, then I'll go back first, you can come to my office to find me, or find someone else, I announced the matter of your visit a few days ago, and the photos have been shown to everyone, so you should be able to recognize you."
Wu Dingzhong said a few words and left.
Lu Xuan stepped forward and opened the door of Room 249, then came to the table and sat down.
On the right hand side of the table are several common medical books, including "Typhoid Fever" and "Neijing".
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is divided into two parts, "Lingshu" and "Suwen", which is the earliest medical classic and one of the four classic works of traditional medicine.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" is said to have been made by the Yellow Emperor, because of its name.
However, later generations recognized that this book was finally formed in the Western Han Dynasty, and the author was not a single person, but was created by the inheritance, supplementation and development of the old Huang doctors in the past dynasties.
As pointed out in the Huainanzi Xiuwu Xun, the name "Yellow Emperor" is intended to trace back to the original and explain the early origin of Chinese medical culture.
It is not a momentary statement, nor is it the hand of one person.
Lu Xuan has read the book "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" more than once.
In fact, those who study Chinese medicine can basically turn this classic medical book upside down.
The same is true for Lu Xuan.
When he was in school, he turned this book several times and memorized it many times.
After graduating, I will take it out from time to time to study it carefully and study it deeply.
And with the ability to hear the voice of traditional Chinese medicine, there will be more research on this book, and he has the ability to never forget, so the frequency of reading this kind of medical book is even higher.
Every time he reads this book, Lu Xuan will have some new experiences.
The medical theory of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is very unique, whether it is from the view of the human body, the concept of disease or the concept of disease prevention and control.
The so-called uniqueness, of course, has a reference, and now the biggest reference is Western medicine, although Western medicine is introduced later, but when we are now studying the academic characteristics of the "Neijing", we can't avoid this point in any way.
The view of the human body, that is, how to see the human body.
On the one hand, it is to regard heaven, earth and man as a whole, and to put man into the relationship between heaven and earth, nature and society.
On the other hand, it is believed that the human body is maintained by the movement of qi and qi engines, and the normal movement of qi is to rise and fall, and the normal operation of qi is normal for the human body.
And on this point, modern medicine also has a new point of view, that is, to regard biology and society as a whole, from this point of view, the "Neijing" put forward this view thousands of years earlier than modern medicine.
A very important problem in the concept of disease is the concept of harmony, the human body is out of harmony, disharmony is disease, and then to be more specific, the imbalance of yin and yang is disease, yin and yang include qi and blood, viscera, etc., can be summarized by yin and yang, "the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things", "the parents of change, the origin of life and death, the house of the gods", it can use yin and yang to summarize everything.
Simple is not simple, simple, complex is not complicated, very complicated, too complicated, but it is very simple to sum up, in fact, the most fundamental is the imbalance of yin and yang, even if the process of human treatment is to try to reconcile and balance yin and yang, apply balance, the disease will naturally be cured.
Therefore, the very important issue of the disease view is the problem of harmony and dissonance, and harmony is normal.
Is it good to have more qi and blood?
It is a good thing to have abundant qi and blood, but it is not a good thing if there is too much and stagnate.
Everyone has seven feelings, which is normal, but if it is excessive, it will naturally become a bad thing.
It's like being happy, it's not good to be happy, it's sad to be happy, "happy is slow", this is also an imbalance, and it is easy to get sick if yin and yang are out of balance.
It can be said that the "Neijing" has established its own view of disease according to the concept of "strange constant change", "strange" is special, "constant" is normal, "constant" is normal, and "change" is mutation.
Normal is healthy, abnormal is disease, and the harmony, order, and unity of yin and yang in the body are healthy, and vice versa is pathology. Therefore, the question of analyzing diseases in the "Neijing" can be said to be the outline of my study of Chinese medicine.
The concept of prevention and treatment is actually to prevent and treat diseases from the perspective of overall function and regulation.
It is characterized by the whole, function, and dynamic harmony, for example, if you drink a bowl of decoction and medicine, it is impossible to say where the medicine is going and not anywhere else.
For example, acupuncture Hegu only treats toothache and nothing else, which is also not necessarily, but should be from the perspective of the person as a whole, and at the same time, more importantly, from the perspective of regulating function, not that we do not look at the body, only emphasize the function, what is the ability without the body?
However, when it comes to observation and treatment, it is necessary to put function first.
And when it comes to regulating functions, it is also a dynamic process, not fixed.
It's like saying that the experience side that has been used for a long time is put on a certain person, and it may not work.
This has to mention one point, that is, although this is an empirical side, but the disease changes, the situation changes, and the environment changes, and an empirical side naturally loses its due effect.
So at such a time, the experience side also has to change.
Another example is five luck and six qi, this year's luck is different from last year's luck, the first half of this year's gas is "too yin and damp toast day", so it is humid, but the second half of the year is "the sun and cold water in the spring", that is, the cold is heavy, so the same cold, the prescription in the first half of the year and the prescription in the second half of the year will be different.
It sounds mysterious, but it is the essence of Chinese medicine.
Many times, the West criticizes traditional Chinese medicine, it is metaphysics, and there is no scientific truth in it, but in fact, while the West is attacking traditional Chinese medicine, it also introduces traditional Chinese medicine on a large scale.
Traditional Chinese medicine is global, forming a situation of global madness.
Even many Western countries have set up TCM courses in universities.
While rushing for traditional Chinese medicine, they are also trying their best to cultivate their own traditional Chinese medicine.
Whether it's Kampo in Japan, traditional Chinese medicine in South Korea, or in the United States, where Chinese medicine is almost rampant......
Here, again, one more point has to be mentioned.
In recent years, the American public and medical community have gradually recognized the safe, effective, and widespread characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, and more and more Americans are willing to accept TCM treatment.
As early as 1973, Nevada passed the Chinese Medicine Legalization Act, which was also the first "Chinese Medicine Act" in the history of the United States.
Not only acupuncture treatment, but also the use of traditional Chinese medicine was officially legalized, and the bill also recognized the independent status of traditional Chinese medicine, ensuring that traditional Chinese medicine was not influenced by Western medicine. Two years later, the state further amended the TCM Act to require insurance companies to pay for acupuncture treatments.
Moreover, there are currently 34 states in the United States that have recognized the National Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NCCAOM) examination, which can be called a national unified employment license except for a few states that issue their own proposition examination certificates.
Even traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is regarded as an independent medical system, spending more than US$120 million a year on complementary and alternative medicine research and development, and there are dozens of research projects for TCM, Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
If Chinese medicine is really metaphysics, it really has no science as criticized in the West, so why should it rob Chinese medicine madly while criticizing?
No one is a fool, and neither are these Western powers.
When they are fools, perhaps, they still laugh at us as real fools, and regard Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for thousands of years and still stands in the medical community, as tigers and dross.
On the one hand, it is the desperate clamor of some people with ulterior motives that Chinese medicine is not scientific and Chinese medicine should be banned; On the other hand, it is the crazy layout and expansion of global capital in the world traditional Chinese medicine market, grabbing the secret recipe of talents, and preemptively registering patents and trademarks.
Foreigners are really not stupid, although they still can't explain the six meridians and six qi of traditional Chinese medicine, and they still can't understand the rise and fall of yin and yang, but as an effective treatment method recognized all over the world, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is a fact that they are after.
The strange thing is that in the process of being on the verge of "life and death", traditional Chinese medicine has not only been erased and abandoned, but also in the 21st century in the scientific and technological civilization today, it has been widely spread to many countries and regions, which is unique in the world!
Unfortunately, most people have never understood that it is always easier to lose than to possess.
When this 5,000-year-old traditional medicine is conquering cities abroad, it is gradually shrinking in the country, I have to say, it is ironic.
Lu Xuan looked at the "Neijing" in front of him a little distracted, he thought a lot at this moment, Chinese medicine does show a lot of disadvantages compared with Western medicine in the local area, but with the revitalization of Chinese medicine in the country, more and more people are willing to believe in Chinese medicine.
The Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is just the tip of the iceberg, but what Lu Xuan sees is the prosperity of traditional Chinese medicine, which is re-emerging at a very fast speed.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Xuan closed the "Neijing" and put it back in its original position.
Lu Xuan looked up at the door, because of the inside of the 249 consultation room, there was hardly half a figure at the door.
However, the noise on the second floor is incessant.
"There really is no one to register, I knew that I should have publicized it in the health center."
Although he had expected it for a long time, when there was no patient, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, it's not that he didn't want to publicize it.
It's just that without being completely sure, he really can't afford to lose this person if something happens halfway.
Say it first, then follow it.
Seeing that there were no patients, Lu Xuan did not continue to sit in the consultation room, got up and walked to the door, looked at the dense crowd sitting outside, and then looked at the consultation room after another.
The doors of most clinics are closed, there are too many people, the sound is too noisy, and it is easy to affect the doctor's diagnosis and treatment if the door is not closed, and in this way, it can also protect the privacy of patients, killing two birds with one stone.
Because it's Saturday, the big guys who don't usually go to the clinic much have a consultation today.
Lu Xuan saw Huang Lao, a national-level famous old Chinese medicine doctor, and the elders of the inheritance of the family of traditional Chinese medicine on the door number, seeing that these two also had a consultation today, Lu Xuan wanted to go in to have a look, but it can be seen that there are several patients waiting in the two clinics, and after thinking about it, they still didn't go in.
So, I didn't stop until I came to the acupuncture clinic.
Unlike other clinics, the door to the acupuncture clinic is always open, and two or three doctors in white coats sit inside.
Lu Xuan subconsciously glanced down and found that the white coat hanging in the consultation room was not on, so he had to shake his head and smile.
Lu Xuan came to Liannan TCM Hall for the first time, and he always thought that there was only TCM internal medicine here, but he didn't expect that acupuncture, cupping and so on would be available.
Seeing that there were several patients inside who were receiving acupuncture treatment, Lu Xuan thought about it and walked in with some curiosity.
When Lu Xuan walked into the acupuncture clinic, Zhou Jiande, who was pricking the patient, subconsciously looked up: "Young man, sit down for a while, and I'll show you the rest of the people after reading it." ”
After speaking, he ignored Lu Xuan and seriously gave the patient at hand a real breath.
Lu Xuan was about to explain, but seeing that the other party ignored him, he had no choice but to give up, and after glancing at the layout of the acupuncture clinic, he turned his attention to Zhou Jiande, who was acumulating the patient.
After watching it for a while, Lu Xuan also had to admit that compared with Zhou Jiande, an old Chinese medicine practitioner who has been immersed in acupuncture for decades, his skills are still inferior.
Or the dialectic Zhou Jiande may not be as good as he is, but when it comes to techniques, Lu Xuan feels that there are really few who can compare with the doctor Zhou in front of him.
The doctors who can be invited by the Liannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to come to the clinic, let alone in Yongcheng, can be among the best in the country.
Compared with Dr. Zhou, Lu Xuan felt that his ability had not yet reached that level.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Xuan couldn't help but get closer and observe carefully on the side.
Zhou Jiande's acupuncture technique is very delicate, whether it is pricking the needle or lifting and twisting, the proficiency has reached a very high level, Lu Xuan compared, if he came to pierce this acupuncture point, the effect was not as good as Zhou Jiande's acupuncture.
From this point, it can be seen how good Dr. Zhou's acupuncture foundation is.
As for Lu Xuan, the proficiency is not half a point.
While watching, Lu Xuan wrote down the details of Zhou Jiande's needle, thinking about going back and trying the needle himself.
Acupuncture and moxibustion are twisted and turned, so you have to practice more, and if you don't have a patient, you can practice it yourself, anyway, there is no harm in having more acupuncture points.
This is also the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
No matter what kind of medical device or drug Western medicine is, it basically relies on patients to test drugs.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners generally test their own medicines, and the same is true for acupuncture.
Perhaps seeing that Lu Xuan was looking seriously, Zhou Jiande, who was giving acupuncture to the patient, suddenly said: "The young man is very interested in acupuncture? ”
