Chapter 1117 Primitive Brutal Techniques

As the visitor entered, Lou Guozhang left Du Heng and others behind and turned to chat with the visitor.

Taking this opportunity, Cao Yuanqing, who had been silent just now, once again acted as an interpreter.

But just like before, his translation was only for a layman like Lao You. As for Du Heng, after seeing such obvious features of the visitor, the name of the disease had already appeared in his mind: belching.

Belching, commonly known as "burping" or "burping", refers to the sound made by the gas in the stomach going up into the throat and being discharged.

There are many reasons for this condition, such as gastrointestinal diseases, mental factors, bad lifestyle, etc., but the most common cause is bad eating habits such as eating too fast or too hard.

It's not painful or itchy, but it's quite uncomfortable, especially when the rush of breath doesn't come out but instead stays in the throat, which can cause a feeling of suffocation in the throat. In severe cases, it can even cause a feeling of suffocation.

In addition, for those who have gastrointestinal diseases, every time they burp, the stench after digestion from the gastrointestinal tract will rush out of their noses, and it will just smudge themselves. If there are other people around, it will be very embarrassing, and impolite.

"This means that he hiccupped right after eating at noon. After a trip to the mountains in the afternoon, the hiccups became serious and he started hiccupping continuously."

Cao Yuanqing didn't know what Du Heng was thinking, but while listening to Lou Guozhang's conversation with the patient, he softly translated for Du Heng and Lao You at the same time, acting very responsible.

Seeing a doctor in the hospital is a very common thing, so Du Heng and Lao You were not surprised. They just waited quietly for Lou Guozhang to complete his work.

But after Lou Guozhang chatted with the patient for a few words, he left the clinic directly and didn't know what he was doing.

went to the toilet?

Du Heng and others waited aside honestly, but Lao You probably felt very uncomfortable after being criticized by Lou Guozhang just now. Seeing Lou Guozhang go out, he muttered, "Why do people in this place like to talk so much?" dialect?"

Cao Yuanqing chuckled and said, "We are all country people, and we are used to speaking in dialects.

And apart from young people, in fact a large number of elderly people do not speak Mandarin.

Unlike Director You in a big city in the capital, where there are people from all over the world, if you don't speak Mandarin, you will be looked down upon. Here we are all fellow villagers, so there is no need to speak. "

Do you have a problem speaking in tongues?

no problem.

Is there any need to explain?

It's certainly not necessary.

But now Cao Yuanqing has explained, and listening to the explanation, it can be heard that he is a little unhappy with Lao You's performance today.

Hey!
Du Heng sighed softly.

Although Lao You apologized to himself the day before yesterday and realized his problem, the imbalance in his heart obviously did not disappear.

Du Heng didn't know what to say now.

Following Cao Yuanqing's small warning, the three of them suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward for a while.

Fortunately, Lou Guozhang walked in quickly after he left, and everyone turned their attention to Lou Guozhang. However, after seeing clearly what Lou Guozhang was holding, let alone Du Heng and Lao You, it was... Cao Yuanqing's eyes also glazed over.

A cane as thick as a little finger, very straight. Judging from the quality of the fracture, you can tell that Lou Guozhang just broke it in the yard.

Du Heng looked at Cao Yuanqing very confused, and Cao Yuanqing immediately returned the same confused look.

Okay, let's keep reading.

After Lou Guozhang walked in, he sat down directly in his seat, picked up the knife he had just placed and began to repair one end of the rattan, making it round, and then began to repair the branches and some protruding places. of flatness.

Curiosity, the curiosity in Du Heng's heart reached its peak.

While he was reading, he kept recalling some of the Miao medical books he had read in the past few days, but unfortunately, he did not find any entries related to rattan.

While Lou Guozhang was repairing the cane, he chatted softly with the patient. He would laugh twice when the chat was happy.

But this did not affect the movements of his hands at all. After he finished repairing the cane, he stood up and went to the sink, cleaned the cane completely, then took out tape and gauze and began to wrap the repaired end.

After completing all the preparations, Lou Guozhang walked to the patient with a cane. After whispering a few words, the patient straightened his back, raised his chin high, and opened his mouth wide. .

Du Heng's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he kept shouting in his heart: It's impossible, it's impossible, isn't it?
But the cry in his heart had no effect. On the contrary, Lou Guozhang's next actions began to overlap directly with the actions he imagined in his mind.

The cane was inserted from the patient's mouth!
Judging from the depth of insertion, it should have reached the stomach!
I am!

Do you want to be so cruel?
Do you want to be so rude?
It's not like belching and burping, right?
Du Heng felt uncomfortable in his throat and even more uncomfortable in his stomach.

"!@#￥#"

While several people were stunned, Lou Guozhang pulled out the cane very slowly, and then spoke softly to the patient.

After the patient retched a few times and felt it carefully for a while, he said something to Lou Guozhang with a smile on his face, and then walked out while looking back at Lou Guozhang's words.

But when the patient walked to the door, Lou Guozhang thrust the cane into the patient's hand and asked him to take it away with him.

No wonder big hospitals don’t see Miao medical techniques. As for this treatment method, let’s not talk about the effect, but in terms of hygiene, it is definitely not up to standard, let alone this. . .so. . .

Du Heng couldn't describe it for a while.

Lou Guozhang seemed to have done a trivial thing. After sending the patient out, he carefully began to clean up the garbage on the table.

After clearing away the garbage, Lou Guozhang glanced at Lao You and suddenly said in a confused manner, "Oh, the patient just now didn't take any money, and he didn't even pay the registration fee."

Yes, this person is not big-minded.

"Professor Du, where did we just talk?"

Lou Guozhang asked calmly, but before Du Heng could answer, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, the principle of lipotherapy.

This is actually very simple. It is a treatment method that uses pricking or cutting to stimulate acupuncture points or remove the roots and detoxify. "

Du Heng quickly closed his eyes, took a quick breath, and quickly brought his thoughts back.

But even so, he still felt that his mind went blank for a few seconds before he began to regain his ability to think.

After gaining the ability to think, Du Heng finally grasped the key points of Lou Guozhang's words.

Stimulate acupuncture points?

Are there acupuncture points at the base of your index finger and middle finger?What are the acupuncture points at the thenar and thenar eminences?
Du Heng thought quickly. He didn't expect any acupuncture points to be in these two places.

There are no acupuncture points, but it has a super high cure rate. Lou Guozhang also confirmed that it stimulates acupuncture points. . . .

Suddenly Du Heng's eyes lit up.

It is true that there are no acupuncture points at the base of the index finger and middle finger, but human fingers are the ends of the limbs and also represent the ends of the meridians.

In traditional Chinese medicine meridian science, the index finger is the end of the large intestine meridian, and the middle finger is the end of the pericardial meridian.

Therefore, this is not stimulating acupuncture points, but dredging the meridians.

The thenar refers to the area at the base of the palm under the big and small thumbs. The thenar is under the thumb and the hypothenar is under the little finger.Referring to the corresponding areas of the palm and visceral reflexes, it can be seen that the stomach area is located inside the thenar eminence, and the large intestine area is located in the middle of the hypothenar eminence.

Therefore, the so-called fat cutting therapy is really not a superstitious technique, but a real treatment method guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

In fact, there are similar methods in traditional Chinese medicine, but it may be due to the region and the transmission environment. Traditional Chinese medicine now mainly massages the reflex areas of the palms, and due to the general environment, it pays less and less attention.

As for why Miao medicine developed such techniques, in addition to the factors of environment and transmission process, there is another biggest factor, which is the word "poison" in "eradicate and detoxify" mentioned by Lou Guozhang just now.

Du Heng remembered that in a book he read a few days ago, there was a vague sentence, that is, in the theory of Miao medicine, all diseases are caused by poison. As long as the 'poison' is eliminated, the disease will be cured. alright.

This theoretical understanding of 'poison' is fundamentally different from the various theories of current Chinese medicine.

Du Heng took a long breath.

Reading ten books is really not as good as seeing the operation in person; reading ten books is really not as good as listening to a word from an expert.

It really complies with the old saying: a true message is preached, but a false message is thousands of books.

As Du Heng's mind cleared and he clarified everything, his profound knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine was immediately revealed.

After his eyes flickered for a few times, he said with a hint of excitement, "Doctor Lou, according to the principles you mentioned, I think the theory in Gua Sha can also work.

I can use a scraping board or a smaller object with rounded edges to gently scrape the patient's palms or soles of the feet, which should achieve the same effect. "

Lou Guozhang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I am just a junior college student. Although I studied Chinese medicine when I was in school, I really didn't learn anything. I just wanted to get a diploma.

Therefore, the method mentioned by Professor Du can only be verified by Professor Du himself.

But with Professor Du’s knowledge, if you think it can be done, then there must be no problem. "

Du Heng just expressed the sudden association in his mind because of his excitement, so he didn't care much if Lou Guozhang was really unsure. Anyway, he would either go back or have time, and he would let Li Shuxun do the verification.

"Professor Du and Director You have also traveled all day today, so they must be tired. It just so happens that I am off work now, so I will treat you two to try our local dishes."

Lou Guozhang glanced at the clock on the wall, then stood up and invited Du Heng and Lao You, "This small place is just a fly restaurant. I hope Professor Du and Director You won't dislike it."

"Doctor Lou is too polite."

After saying a few polite words, Du Heng did not show any pretense and left the health center with Lou Guozhang chatting and laughing.

Only Lao You was not happy.

I guess my lungs were choked by Lou Guozhang's sentence about "no charge" just now.

The restaurant Lou Guozhang found was really a fly restaurant. Not only was it small, but the sanitary conditions were also very good.

But for Du Heng, who grew up in a rural area and suffered hardship for nearly 30 years, it really had no impact at all.

Even Lao You, a native of the capital, showed no resistance after following Du Heng around the Northwest for two weeks.

And it was this that made Lou Guozhang and Cao Yuanqing take a high look at Lao You, Director You from the capital. When they looked at Lao You again, they no longer had the same provocation.

Just after the four of them sat down and ordered their dishes, Du Heng still couldn't hold back his curiosity. Thinking back to the rough scene just now, he curiously asked, "Doctor Lou, you just used that... rattan to treat belching. I’m very curious if there’s anything to say about the method.”

Lou Guozhang laughed loudly, looked at Du Heng and said cheerfully, "Has Professor Du never seen such a barbaric and rough treatment method?"

Du Heng nodded honestly.

"We call that method the method of opening the pole." Lou Guozhang said straightforwardly, "Belling and fullness are caused by food obstruction, which means that the air cannot come up and the food cannot come down.

This is what we usually call food accumulation.

Since it doesn't work, just open it up. "

Du Heng's eyes flickered again.

So straightforward, so concise, so popular, and so good. .Rough understanding.

But seeing the patient leave alive and kicking in the end, you have to admire that it is really useful.

Lao You was also very curious like Du Heng, but this time he didn't rashly say that the method was wrong or the effect was not good, and he was unusually honest and didn't say a word.

Du Heng would not ask such an idiotic question, but asked a question that focused on the technique itself, "Doctor Lou, are there any taboos or precautions when using this method?"

"Du Heng also wants to use it?"

Du Heng shook his head and said without any concealment, "I don't think I have a chance to use it."

Lou Guozhang said softly, "Yes, if Professor Du uses this method, let's not talk about whether it is feasible or not. First of all, the patient will definitely not cooperate."

Not only did Du Heng agree with this answer, but Cao Yuanqing and Lao You next to him also completely agreed.

Just think, at the Good Friends Hospital in the capital, Du Heng stabbed the patient in the throat with a sixty- to seventy-centimeter cane. . .How touching was that scene?

"The thing to note... is that the cane must be smooth and inserted into the stomach. It cannot be deep, otherwise it will damage the inner wall of the stomach." Dr. Lou suddenly paused as he spoke, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. , no more.

Professor Du can also see from this method that both the concept and the technique are quite primitive. If used improperly, damage and infection may occur.

I know this patient today, and he can even see through it, but his family can be described as bare-walled, and he may not even have a dollar on him.

So I have no choice but to use this unexplored method. "

Well, in this case, Du Heng stopped asking in detail, and immediately changed the topic and chatted with Lou Guozhang about other experiences.

The food in the small restaurant is indeed as Lou Guozhang said, they are all local dishes.

Lou Guozhang and Cao Yuanqing were very satisfied with the meal, and Lao You was also very happy with the meal. Only Du Heng himself, maybe because he has been eating sand rice from the northwest for 30 years, is really not used to Bagui's southwest local cuisine.

However, he has become very hypocritical now, and does not show such unaccustomedness, and it is just that he is not used to it. It is not that he cannot eat, he just eats less.

The reason is that it is a bit uncomfortable to ride in the car for a day.

"Professor Du, Lao Cao has told me the specific situation, and I am willing to accompany you on a trip to the mountains. After all, this will be beneficial to the Miao doctors and the old masters in the mountains.

To be honest, there are a few old masters who really have something in their hands, and it would be a pity not to pass it down.

However, you have also seen today that I am the only one in the health center today. I have to wait for another day tomorrow, waiting for my colleagues to come back, otherwise the health center will be closed if I leave too. "

During the meal, Du Heng extended an invitation to Lou Guozhang.

Although Cao Yuanqing had already agreed with him on this matter, he still took the initiative to send out the invitation.

Because of language, nationality and other issues, there is no one like Lou Guozhang to take them with them. Whether they can find the person they are looking for in the mountains or not, even if they find them, people may not want to talk to Du Heng and the others.

Some of these things left Du Heng speechless for a long time after reading the information.
