Chapter 41: Pediatric Fingerprint Diagnosis
Outside the neonatal intensive care unit, Muren's mother looked haggard, lying on the window of the ward, her eyes fixed on the third incubator in the ward, where her son was struggling with death.

Since family members are not allowed to accompany the newborn ward, parents worried about Muren's condition had to take turns to stay outside.

Hearing the footsteps of many people, Muren's mother turned her head and saw her son's doctor, Dr. Feng, was following a middle-aged doctor, and the person in front was the leader.

As if seeing a life-saving straw, Muren's mother clung to Agudam's hand and choked up, "Leader, you must save my son. He was only born ten days ago and hasn't had a sip of mother's milk yet. I haven't even looked at the prairie."

Agudamu let Muren's mother hold his hand tightly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, the family of the patient, we will do our best to treat you. Today we invite doctors from the Department of Infectious Diseases and Traditional Chinese Medicine for consultation. Please rest assured." .”

Agudamu introduced the resumes of Huang Su and Dr. Fang to Muren's mother.

To appease Muren's mother, the group walked into the intensive care unit and walked to the third incubator. The baby was lying on his side in the incubator, and the cylindrical oxygen mask covered the baby's small head inside.

Lying on the side is to prevent laryngospasm from causing saliva to block the trachea and suffocate.

Huang Su walked into the incubator and observed the baby carefully. The baby had a wry smile on his face, his face was blue, his lips were purple-black, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with saliva.

Everyone has come to the conclusion that the baby is infected with tetanus, and Huang Su is still staring at the baby in the incubator.

Dr. Fang felt that Huang Su was putting on airs, and said sarcastically, "How does Director Huang see it? How does he plan to treat it? Let us also see the miracle of Chinese medicine's three-day effect."

Huang Su ignored the noisy Dr. Fang, and asked the nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit for a pair of sterile gloves to put on. She reached into the incubator and gently stroked the baby's body, feeling the baby's body muscle stiffness and meridian spasms.

"Plain Questions: The Great Theory of Zhizhenyao": "All violence and violence belong to wind."

"Neijing Zhiyao·Disease Energy": "A strong person has strong tendons; a straight person has a straight body and cannot bend or stretch." It is more common in convulsions, epilepsy, tetanus and other diseases.

Huang Su gently opened the baby's palm, held the child's index finger with his left hand, and used his right thumb to gently push from the life gate of the child's index finger to the wind gate. After doing this several times, a blue-purple meridian clearly appeared on the baby's index finger.

The diagnostic method used by Huang Su is called children's fingerprint diagnosis method. It is a method of traditional Chinese medicine for people under three years old, especially newborns with unclear pulse conditions, to diagnose diseases based on the ups and downs, colors and locations of fingerprints.

The blue-purple meridian that appears on the index finger is the fingerprint.

The theoretical basis is that the twelve meridians all originate from the Taiyin of the hand, and the Taiyang of the hand is where Qi and blood gather. out a source.This place is the extension of the Cunkou pulse, which can reflect the ups and downs of qi, blood, yin and yang in the viscera of the human body, so the diagnosis of the index finger collaterals has the same meaning as the diagnosis of the Cunkou pulse

The baby's fingerprints are blue and purple, and the air has passed.

"He Hui, come here, tell me that the fingerprints are bruised and what certificate the baby has." Huang Su called He Hui to her side and asked.

He Hui walked up to Huang Su, stared at the indistinct fingerprints on the baby's palm, and said with a guilty conscience in a blank and ignorant tone: "Director, we haven't learned how to read fingerprints."

"You don't even teach children's fingerprinting, the basics of Chinese medicine. What have you learned in the past four years? Since you like teaching Western medicine so much, why do you still call it clinical Chinese medicine? It's better to just call it clinical medicine of Western medicine. I really think that after studying Western medicine for a few days, there is nothing wrong with it. It can be cured." Huang Su pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.

Dr. Fang blushed instantly with anger, but he didn't dare to attack. After all, he taught people in the Chinese medicine department, and he would only humiliate himself by going up to theorize now.

Dr. Fang had already secretly hated Huang Su, and thought to himself: See if you can't be cured, then how can I humiliate you even more.

Huang Su pointed to the blue-purple meridian on the baby's index finger to show He Hui, and said, "I asked you to see the fingerprints, and you really showed me the fingerprints. Did you see this blue meridian? What Chinese medicine calls fingerprints.”

"Fingerprint refers to the veins that are exposed from the tiger's mouth to the palm of the index finger close to the thumb. It is also known as the tiger's mouth pattern and the tiger's mouth three-pass vein pattern. Three passes refer to the first section of the index finger near the tiger's mouth is Fengguan, the second section is Qiguan, The third section is fate."

Huang Su pointed to the baby's index finger to show He Hui the three barriers of Fengfeng, Qi and Ming.

"Fingerprints with cyan color are mainly wind syndrome or pain syndrome; purple-red patterns are associated with internal heat; bright red are associated with external syndromes; purple-black are associated with stagnant blood vessels and critical illness symptoms. The fingerprint method for children is diagnosed from the "Neijing" Thenar meridian method evolved from Wang Chao's "Shui Jing Tu Jue" in the Tang Dynasty to Dacheng, and it has been used to this day. If a good Chinese medicine department does not teach Chinese medicine, I really think that Chinese medicine that has been developed for more than 2000 years is useless."

Hearing that there was something in Huang Su's words, Doctor Fang's face turned from red to black.

He Hui carefully and quickly recorded the knowledge points Huang Su talked about in his notebook.

There was some insinuation in the words, and then continued: "The collaterals appear at the wind gate, which means that evil energy enters the collaterals. The evil is mild and the disease is mild, and it is common in diseases caused by exogenous factors; the veins penetrate from the wind gate to the qi gate. Evil qi enters the meridians, and the main evil is seriously ill. If the collaterals are manifested in the Mingguan, the evil enters the viscera, and the main disease is critical; if the collaterals go directly to the fingertips, it is called penetrating the gate, and the disease is more dangerous and the prognosis is poor."

He Hui is also learning and selling: "Then teacher, the patient's meridians have passed the Qi barrier. Doesn't this mean that the condition is extremely serious? Doesn't it mean that life is in danger when it reaches the fate barrier?"

Huang Su said: "So Wuhu Zhuifeng San is no longer effective enough, we need to add Yuzhen San to quickly clear the liver and detoxify, dispel wind and relieve convulsions."

Yuzhen San, an ancient Chinese medicine prescription.For the treatment of wind, it has the effects of dispelling wind and resolving phlegm, relieving convulsions and relieving convulsions, and mainly treating tetanus
“何慧记方，钩藤3g、虫蜕3g、制南星1g、防风3g、全虫6g、僵蚕2g、制白附1g、蜈蚣1g、采用灌肠方式给药，药量翻倍，每日两剂。”

Huang Su handed the prescription to the nurse and said, "Go to the Chinese pharmacy and get the medicine according to this prescription."

The nurse glanced at the prescription, handed it to Agudam, pointed to the centipedes, silkworms, and insects on it, and looked at Agudam suspiciously.

Agudam looked at the prescription, and frowned slightly, but out of trust in Huang Su, he still said: "Take the medicine according to Director Huang's prescription, and I will be responsible for anything that happens."

Huang Su also knew everyone's doubts, so he explained: "All insects, silkworms, and centipedes are all poisonous, but they have the effect of detoxifying and relieving convulsions."

The whole worm is the whole scorpion, and the dead silkworm is the dried body of silkworm infected with Beauveria bassiana.

"Director Agudam, after taking this prescription for half an hour, the baby's palms and feet sweat, which proves that this prescription has taken effect. The baby's convulsions should improve after one day or three days. During the medication period The use of all western medicines is prohibited, only oxygen inhalation and nasal feeding are reserved to maintain the baby's body functions."

Huang Su described in detail the reaction that the baby should have after taking the medicine. He was afraid that the nurse would care about the poison in the prescription and treat it as an abnormal phenomenon with western medicine indiscriminately, which would lead to a conflict of medicine.

Not long after, the nurse walked into the neonatal intensive care unit with the decocted Chinese medicine and gave Muren an enema.

Listening to the ticking of the clock on the wall, everyone was waiting for Muren's reaction after taking the medicine, some were anxiously waiting, some were waiting for a good show.

Half an hour later, Muren's palms and soles began to sweat. Seeing what Huang Su said, Agudam and all the pediatric doctors were relieved, but Dr. Fang's face was even more ugly.

"Director Agudam, since the medicine is effective for the child, I will leave first. If there is any follow-up situation with the child, please call me in time."

Huang Su took He Hui out of the infant intensive care unit, ignoring the dark-faced Doctor Fang the whole time.

Agudamu personally sent Huang Su out of the intensive care unit, and said with guilt on his face: "Director Huang, I'm really sorry about this today."

"You don't need to take this matter to heart, it has nothing to do with you. It is really rare for a western doctor like you who has no arrogance and prejudice against Chinese medicine." Huang Su explained politely.

The more polite Huang Su was, the more Agudam blamed Dr. Fang in his heart.

Having been with Huang Su for a month, Agudam knew his temperament well.

Don't look at the usual amiable and amiable person, but he is very arrogant in his bones. You can say that he is not good at medicine, but if you question Chinese medicine, you are waiting for his humiliation.

More than two months ago, he still vividly remembered the incident where he slapped the whole hospital in the face with the obstetrics and gynecology department. How could someone forget it and find fault again.
