Chapter 37: The ancient method of dissolving phlegm
Just when Lin Kai was treating his illness seriously, President Fu came in with some documents and other things. He did not disturb Lin Kai's treatment, but sat aside, drinking tea leisurely, and completely regarded this place as his territory. In fact, the entire Chinese medicine hospital was indeed his territory.
Lin Kai is now seeing a stroke patient - an aunt in her forties. Now, she is still in a wheelchair, pushed by his son.
This is also a very difficult disease. It was divided into difficult and complicated diseases in ancient times. Now Western medicine relies on high technology and has not been able to conquer it. Perhaps this is why the aunt wants to go here for treatment. Since Western medicine cannot cure it, the cost of hospitalization there can make people lose everything, so we put our hopes on traditional Chinese medicine.
The aunt's son brought the videos he had taken before and handed them to Lin Kai: "Doctor, this is a CT video I took before in the Western Hospital."
Lin Kai put it aside and smiled and said, "I don't know much about Western medicine, and I don't know much about analyzing such films."
Western medicine believes that cerebral stroke is a group of diseases characterized by local neurological deficiencies due to disorders in the brain, which leads to a group of diseases characterized by local neurological deficiencies. It includes diseases such as intracranial and extracranial arteries, veins and venous sinuses, but arterial diseases are common.
Lin Kai has been exposed to these simple theories before and has not yet understood them in depth.
Our traditional Chinese medicine also divides strokes into many types, some of which can be treated. Lin Kai looked at the symptoms of the aunt and observed through the observation method, and knew that this was a stroke of wind and phlegm entering the meridian.
This stroke characteristic is obvious, and it is not difficult to see: insincere skin, numbness of hands and feet, sudden tilt of the mouth and eyes, poor language, salivation of the corners of the mouth, strong tongue, stuttering of the tongue, even hemiplegia, or constricting hands and feet, joint pain, etc., thin and white tongue coating, floating and rapid pulse.
"Isn't there any effect on Western medicine?" Lin Kai asked.
Because the aunt couldn't speak, her son could only answer: "Yes, yes! It took two or three weeks of treatment and spent tens of thousands of yuan. Do you think it's a trick?"
"Cough cough!" Lin Kai deliberately coughed twice.
The guy suddenly remembered that although Chinese and Western medicine are separated here, they are at least the same hospital. It is a bit bad for accusing others of cheating people in front of others. He quickly smiled embarrassedly and secretly looked at Dean Fu's side.
"Your mother's disease has empty meridians and wind and phlegm to survive the deficiency, and qi and blood are blocked. The main treatment is to dispel wind and phlegm and unblock the meridians." Lin Kai said.
"Then... do you think it can be cured?" the man asked nervously. He was unsure. He had heard others say that although this doctor was young, his medical skills were unique and very impressive, so he brought his mother here.
"This is not difficult, but it will take a little longer to completely heal." Lin Kai said to him.
When the man heard this, he immediately saw hope and became excited. However, he felt a little doubtful. Isn’t it really difficult? There is no way for Western medicine! The attending doctor even told him that this disease can only be dragged with drugs. Didn’t it mean that traditional Chinese medicine is not good? When was it so much more powerful than Western medicine?
After hearing this, Fu Dengyun also pondered slightly. They were troublesome to treat this disease, and it seemed unlikely that it would be possible to cure it unless a miracle happened. However, because without the qigong of the body, qigong is the best way to clear the meridians, and perhaps it is difficult to say that he really has a solution.
"How long will it take?" the man asked again.
Lin Kai pondered for a while: "It's about two weeks!"
As soon as this was said, everyone present was shocked. Can the stroke be cured in about two weeks? Isn’t it a joke? Even Dean Fu felt that Lin Kai was a bit timid. This disease is also famously difficult and it is difficult to get better in less than a year or two.
Ignoring the reactions of others, Lin Kai asked the nurse to find a basin and clean up the phlegm for the aunt first.
"Senior sister, just put the basin on the ground, don't hold it yourself." Lin Kai said to Li Lingdai.
He walked to the aunt's side, tilted the aunt in the wheelchair slightly forward, and pointed her mouth at the basin below. When the man saw it, he quickly helped his mother.
"Well! Hold the aunt!" Lin Kai said to him. He put one hand on the aunt's back and gently patted the aunt's head with the other hand. This is also a skill. He used the second half of his hand, that is, slapping his fingers.
In addition to meridians connecting the brain, there are also some important acupoints. As long as they are combined with tapping, they can spit. This method is the same as the anti-itchi technique used before, and was also seen in an ancient book.
Lin Kai felt that the person who wrote that book must be a medical expert who is proficient in human meridians and acupoints. He targeted some small problems in daily life, but they were the solution that the people needed the most.
After more than ten strokes, the aunt's face turned red, as if she was trying to hold something. Under everyone's surprise eyes, the aunt couldn't help but open her mouth and spit out several mouthfuls of thick phlegm, all of which were all in her mouth and nose.
"That towel or paper is fine, just wipe it for the aunt." Lin Kai said.
Li Lingdai quickly found what Lin Kai asked for, and the man snatched it and personally dealt with it for his mother. It can be seen that this guy was extremely filial to his mother and asked other patients to nod slightly, Dean Fu and others.
"Doctor Lin, you are so awesome. My mother looks a little better now." The man gave Lin Kai a compliment without hesitation.
"Resolving phlegm is just the first step, it is relatively simple and not worth mentioning." Lin Kai was not proud of a few words from others.
At this time, someone asked about the method of spitting just now. With Lin Kai's personality, these practical techniques will not be hidden, but this time the situation is a bit special.
He explained the principle to everyone, which is simple and easy to understand. It is mainly because the acupuncture points and meridians are double-touched, causing stimulation in the throat and other parts. However, this often makes people overreact, so they have to use one hand to press the two meridians on the patient's back to slow down the reaction.
Lin Kai reminded: "Everyone is not familiar with meridians and acupoints, so you should not try it lightly in the future, because not only does it require control, but there are also some fatal points around the human body. If you hit the fatal points too hard, it is easy to get into trouble."
After hearing this, the others nodded quickly, saying, "It's so dangerous, so don't try again in the future."
President Fu is also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. When he heard the principles, he suddenly shouted in his heart, and was full of admiration for those who have developed this technique.
Seeing that Lin Kai's medical skills were indeed amazing, the man raised infinite hope. Fortunately, he came here to take a look with a tentative attitude, otherwise he would miss an opportunity to heal his mother.
Li Lingdai looked at Lin Kai with a slight loss of consciousness and suddenly realized that she was a little crazy. However, this junior brother was really amazing. You can tell by the dean nodding from time to time.
